Heroes: “Mothers and Sons” Voting Gauntlet coming soon

January 28, 2019 FE Heroes, News 4 comments

Information about the next Voting Gauntlet has been distributed, and it’s very similar to the Fathers and Daughters gauntlet we had a few months back. The bracket displays all 8 entries.

Whose army will you fight for? The event begins on the 31st of January, 7:00AM UTC, each round lasting 2 days, with the event coming to a close on the 6th of February, 3:59AM UTC.

To help you prepare your barracks for the event, two relevant banners have been released. “Voting Gauntlet Mothers” and “Voting Gauntlet Sons:”

In the Mothers banner, we have Lissa: Sprightly Cleric, Mikoto: Caring Mother, and Cherche: Wyvern Friend, while over in the Sons banner, we have Leif: Prince of Leonstar, Corrin: Dream Prince, and Owain: Chosen One. Good move on the devs to choose the Dream variant of Corrin and not the original for this VG and banner, for various reasons (so the banner doesn’t contain 3 swords, for one)

Lissa and Cherche are both available in the 3-4-Star pool, while everyone in the Sons banner is 5-star exclusive. Undoubtedly the best banner to try to summon from, if you had to decide between the two. The other two Heroes available in the Voting Gauntlet – Ethlyn and Gerome – are Tempest Trials rewards, so if you’ve been playing FEH long enough, you should already own copies of these Heroes.

These banners begin today, and will end on the 6th of February, 6:59AM UTC.

“Fire Emblem World”: Daily Characters + Weekly Songs Round 2

January 27, 2019 News No comments

Just a very minor update. If you recall, the Japanese Fire Emblem World website had a big makeover near the end of 2018.

One of the cool things about the new website is that the front page frequently changes. Every day, there’s a different character–from that week’s featured Fire Emblem game. Likewise, a different song plays every week (also matching the featured game).

Last time, we already covered the character and song schedule from 7th January to 27th January 2019. However, what about tomorrow?

Worry not, because the internal schedule was recently updated for 4 more weeks. Although if you read our previous article, you shouldn’t be surprised by the choices. Anyway…

For the week starting 28th January 2019, expect Ike, Titania, Greil, Mist, Black Knight, Sanaki and Soren from Path of Radiance. The featured song will be Victory is Near. Of note, the front page theme will change from white to black.

(The other games that use the black theme include Shadow Dragon and Blade of Light, Gaiden, Shadow Dragon, Radiant Dawn and Heroes. Three Houses appears to use the white theme.)

January 27, 2019 FE Heroes, News 3 comments

A new special battle event is now available in Fire Emblem Heroes! Bring your best team to tackle Bound Hero Battle: Elincia & Nephenee, now available in the Special Maps menu. You can also summon from a banner featuring 5★ focus characters for Elincia, Nephenee, and Brave Ike.

If that’s not enough to keep you busy, there’s also a new Blessed Gardens for today and Rival Domains from yesterday. Nine more days left in Tempest Trials too! Finally, don’t forget to do your daily voting for the Choose Your Legends 3 poll as well.

Heroes: Tempest Trials+: Heating Things Up!

January 26, 2019 FE Heroes, News No comments

Another Tempest has sprung up in Fire Emblem Heroes! Tempest Trials+: Heating Things Up is now available in the Events menu.

Once again, Masked Marth is looking for heroes to help fight against the storm. However, the help she gets is… not quite what she expected.

The Home screen displays your point value and reminds you of the current Bonus Allies. When you’re ready, select a stage and fight your way to the final map. The last map is based on an hot spring and features Sakura as the boss. Check out the final map layout and Sakura’s Lunatic skills and stats below.

Fight lots of battles to earn lots of rewards! The special unit this time around is Camilla: Steamy Secrets. You can also earn some new Sacred Seals (Fire Boost 1, Even Def Wave 1, and Brazen Atk/Def 1), a Water Blessing, and tons of Orbs! Don’t forget to complete your daily quests for some other rewards as well.

Tempest Trials+: Heating Things Up will be available for 10 days, fading into the mists on 5 February.
