Heroes: Children’s Day Voting Gauntlet Soon & Summoning Focus

April 26, 2019 FE Heroes, News 2 comments

Fire Emblem Heroes is readying another Voting Gauntlet event, this time celebrating the upcoming Children’s Day in Japan. Although, we’re not sure if pitting children against each other in bloody battles is the right way to do it, but anyway…

The starting brackets are Young Tiki versus Male Kana, Lugh versus Ylgr, Fae versus Yune and Flying Nino versus Delthea. On second thought, these kids can probably hold their own–especially the dragons and random goddess.

The Voting Gauntlet will start on 30th April 2019 and run for 6 days, until a few hours before the daily rollover on 6th May 2019. For reference, the actual Children’s Day takes place on 5th May 2019, during the first day of the final round.

Compared to last time, the Disadvantage Bonus has received a significant buff. Instead of being (Duration x 0.1) + 3.1 (up to 7.5x), it’s now (Duration x 0.2) + 3.2 (up to 12x). There will also be a Log-in Bonus starting now until the rollover on 10th May 2019.

If you’re lacking any of the featured Heroes, there are a pair of Summoning Focus that have 6 of them. Meanwhile, Male Kana–being a past Grand Hero Battle reward–can be obtained via Heroic Grails. As for Yune, she seems to be MIA right now.

Heroes: Legendary Alm Finally Gets His Day, Drops April 27

April 25, 2019 FE Heroes, News 9 comments

Alm finally got his day, as Alm: Saint-King, the next Legendary Hero, is now summonable in the first Gaiden-themed Legendary Hero Banner!

Japanese Trailer: Here

Alm, an Earth-blessed Legendary Hero that provides the same bonus as Legendary Roy before him, comes in as a Colorless Bow Infantry unit, and brings with him, a handful of new and useful skills. Aside from his B and C being the already in the game Null Follow-up 3 and Odd Attack Wave 3, he brings the new A skill Darting Blow 4 (granting +9 Spd on initiation), the new Special Lunar Flash [2] (Treats foe/s Def/Res as if reduced by 20% during combat. Boosts damage by 20% of unit’s Spd) and his personal bow, Luna Arc (14 Mt | 2 Rng | Eff. vs Fliers | Grants Spd +3 | If unit initiatse combat, deals damage = 25% of foe’s Def. [Ignores reductions to Def crom special skills like Lunar Flash.])

Alm is pretty much joining with a bow that rocks permanent half-Luna, and a perf that implies that he’ll be one speedy boy. If you want to boost his speed more, he comes with the Pair-Up ability, making him number two after Legendary Roy.

Of course, Legendary Banners aren’t just known for their Legendary Hero; they also feature an 8% summoning rate on a select batch of 12. This Legendary Hero summoning event runs from April 27 until May 7, and brings:

  • Red
    • Ike (Legendary)
    • Marth (Brave)
    • Roy (Legendary)
  • Green
    • Fae (Christmas/Holiday)
    • Hector (Brave)
    • Sue
  • Blue
    • Ephraim (Christmas/Holiday)
    • Fjorm (standard)
    • Nailah
  • Colorless
    • Alm: (Legendary)
    • Eirika: (Christmas/Holiday)
    • Leanne

Considering the popularity of many of these Heroes, this is looking to be a pretty exciting banner to summon from. Should you opt to drop some orbs, then I wish you good luck, Summoners!

Three Houses: More Famitsu Screenshots, Female Byleth Footage & Anna Artwork

April 25, 2019 FE Three Houses, News 28 comments

Not too long ago, Famitsu had a 6-page feature on Three Houses, which we covered in detail in this article. However, that’s not all the information they had to share, as additional screenshots (and in higher quality) can be found on their website.

Before continuing, we highly recommend perusing our earlier article, as a lot of the information is the same. This article will only cover the new stuff–and we’ll also be referring to the earlier information at points.

First up, we have clearer official artwork for the key characters: male and female Byleth, Sothis (featured above), Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude.

You may have noticed that Sothis and both Byleth are holding the same golden sword. If you’re not aware, this sword is also in the possession of two other characters in the debut trailer. However, the sword has lost its jewel in the centre.

Next, we have a batch of screenshots for the featured characters, showcasing some of their dialogue. These are mostly the same ones from the magazine, but I think there are some new ones–and the text is infinitely more legible now!
