Heroes: Voting Gauntlet: Clashing Thunders begins soon!

For today’s Heroes news, a Voting Gauntlet has been announced: Clashing Thunders!

It features 8 Heroes who are attuned to the ways of lighting magic. Which of these electric guys or gals will get your vote?

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Voting Gauntlet if there weren’t new banners available for you to get the chance to summon them!

The 8 Heroes are split between Set A (on the left) and Set B (on the right). You may notice that all the focus units are blue, which can be a curse. Set A features Delthea, Odin, Reinhardt, and Tailtiu, while Set B has Ishtar, Ophelia, Olwen, and Linde. If you planned to grab one of these Heroes in particular, I advise you continue saving your Orbs and wait until they are the lone blue focus on a future banner.

Unless you’re like me and have only Linde on banner B, then go all out and grab a great chance to summon Linde and an off-focus Azura!

Regardless of how blue the banners may (or may not) leave you feeling, the Voting Gauntlet is gonna be a real shocker. I also made it through this article without making a single Eiffel 65 reference.

Heroes: Forging Bonds: Dueling Desires Now Live!

With Grand Conquests coming to a close, it’s time for the next event in Fire Emblem Heroes! Equip your finest accessories and make your way towards Forging Bonds: Dueling Desires. You can find it in the Event menu.

This edition of Forging Bonds features our four newest Brave Redux Heroes: Loki, Kliff, Owain, and Aversa. Loki and Aversa are arguing amongst each other to decide which of them the Summoner likes best. Rather than fight each other, Owain has a better idea…

The main page of the event displays the four focused heroes and the appropriate accessories. At the top, you can also see information regarding the current multipliers. Use Check Rewards to view your progress towards each individual hero’s final conversations and rewards. When ready, select a stage to begin your battle!

Forging Bonds: Dueling Desires will last for two weeks, ending on 10 November. Additionally, the first seven days that you play a Forging Bonds map will net you an extra Orb reward, so make sure to play frequently! In the meantime, enjoy the event and seeing conversations with our newest heroes.

Cipher Updates: Female Corrin Promo, Autumn Livestream, S15 Pack Art Sleeves!

We still have some time before we start getting regular reveals for Fire Emblem Cipher S15. However, a few small pieces of news have been trickling out recently, so here’s a minor update with some news. First up, a new Female Corrin Promo is now available! Artist Konfuzki also shared their text-free version of the art via twitter.

Dengeki Nintendo recently released this promo in their December issue which just came out on 20 October. Each issue of the magazine contains two copies of the card. You can order the magazine online via Amazon JP.

Additionally, we now have news for the upcoming Autumn Cipher Livestream! It will air on 10 November via NicoNico and YouTube Live.

As usual, Ryota Kawade and Young will be hosting. Satomi Satou (VA for F!Corrin) and Hibiku Yamamura (VA for Rinea and Shade) will also be joining in as guests. The stream will show off lots of new cards and also include upcoming Cipher and merchandise information. It should be a fun time!

The official S15 Cipher sleeves are now also available for pre-order! The four sleeve designs this time around are: Tiki, Female Corrin, Camilla, and Leif. You can pre-order all four designs via AmiAmi.

That’s all the Cipher news for now! With the Autumn Livestream coming on the 10th, we should expect to see daily reveals starting around 5 November. Stay tuned for more news and information as it becomes available.

Heroes: Grand Hero Battle: Aversa + New Forging Bonds Info!

As teased in the recent Brave Redux paralogue, Aversa is our newest GHB to arrive in Fire Emblem Heroes! Prepare your strongest team to take her down in Grand Hero Battle: Aversa.

You can defeat Aversa in up to three different battles: Hard, Lunatic, and Infernal. As usual, Hard will grant you a 3★ copy while Lunatic and Infernal will each grant a 4★ copy. You also get 2,000 Hero Feathers for taking down the Infernal Map! Take a look below for Aversa’s Infernal difficulty stats and skills, as well as a look at the map layout.

Aversa is a pretty interesting GHB unit. For starters, she’s the first non-seasonal Red Tome Flier, which makes her rather unique. At 5★, she comes with a personal weapon: Aversa’s Night. It grants her Res+3 as well as inflicting the Panic status on some enemies in the field. She also has Dragon Fang, HP/Spd 2, and Odd Res Wave.

Grand Hero Battle: Aversa will be available for little over a week, ending on 3 November.

The Notification Screen also gives us some information for the next Forging Bonds event that begins this weekend! It will feature all of the Brave Redux heroes: Loki, Aversa, Owain, and Kliff.

New to this edition of Forging Bonds, all players will be able to automatically equip any bonus accessories available before going into battle. The screen also gives us a peek at those accessories:

This latest Forging Bonds: Dueling Desires will start this Saturday, 27 October.
