Starting today, the world of Fire Emblem Heroes is crossing over to Dragalia Lost, for a limited time event! While the event is running, players can obtain Alfonse for free and try to summon Marth, Fjorm and Veronica (all 5-star Adventurers).

Similar to the new Hero trailers for Heroes, Nintendo has uploaded a trailer outlining the abilities of the Adventurers that you can summon. You can also read about them further down this article.

Marth, Fjorm and Veronica will be available from the “Lost Heroes” summon showcase until the event ends after the daily rollover on 14th May 2019. After that, they will be removed from the summoning pool until further notice.

To give players a helping hand, there’s also a “Platinum Showcase” available by swapping tabs. This is a special type of summon showcase where you can spend 1200 Diamantium (premium currency) to perform a tenfold summon (ten summons in a row) with the tenth summon guaranteed to be Marth, Fjorm or Veroinica.

Players can only perform a specific Platinum Showcase once and be aware that there’s no guarantee that you won’t get a duplicate Adventurer if you already have at least one of the three.

As for the event itself, it’s made up of a short story (although one that’s far more in-depth than any of Heroes‘s), stages divided into Normal, Hard and Lunatic difficulty, plus new Defensive Battles found under “The Alberian Front”.

Of note, there is a Lunatic stage, “Alfonse’s Trial”, where players can challenge Alfonse who’s way, way scarier than in his own game. Expect to get more than a few Game Overs before finally being able to clear it! Time to dodge, dodge, dodge…

Also, the event features time-gated content that opens from 3rd May 2019, in a week’s time. So players will have to wait a while if they want to experience the event in its entirety. Perhaps additional stages will be added as well?

Anyway, the event seems really well-made and the developers clearly pulled out all the stops. A lot of UI and sound have been changed to have a more Fire Emblem feel, the title screen has been swapped out and the home menu theme is something to behold: a rap version of the Fire Emblem main theme by Daoko and Scha Dara Parr.

Finally, if you’re unconvinced about the game, not able to play it or are curious about the full Japanese voice acting, @theprinceofiris is currently recording footage of the entire event on their YouTube channel (link to playlist).
