Cipher S18 Weekly Recap: Daily Reveals, Frontier Column, & Site Updates!

Ever since last Saturday’s livestream, it’s been a busy week for Fire Emblem Cipher. As usual, @fecipher has provided us with daily cards for the new set. This week, reveals culminated in this gorgeous SR card for Cordelia!

However, the lion’s share of cards this week’s Twitter cards are, unsurprisingly, for Three Houses. Both Mercedes and Jeralt get R foil cards this set. Mercedes’s matching N card also contains a cameo of several monastery cats!

Petra rounds out the 3H reveal with a duo of cards for herself. Lastly, Cormag is the only purple character this week. Another new Magvelian character makes their Cipher debut!

In addition to Twitter reveals, a new Cipher Frontier Column also showed off some new cards. Additionally, the official site updated with a look at S18’s booster box goodies. Hit the “Read More” button below to take a look at everything!

Cipher Frontier Column

Cipher Frontier columns are semi-regular updates featuring the various Cipher original characters. This time around, the mascots gathered together to discuss the newest set! In the process, they showed off a few more new cards…

From top to bottom are cards of various students from Black Eagles, Blue Lions, and Golden Deer respectively. Some of these we’ve seen already, but Dorothea, Caspar, Dedue, Annette, Lysithea, and Leonie are new. They also showed off some blue and purple cards as well, including a new card for Marisa!

At the very end of the column, a mysterious figure appeared… They seem to be interested in the newest set, whoever they are…

Official Site Updates

The official Cipher website for S18 is also newly updated! We don’t have a full ST Deck list yet, but the site does show off the goodies that will be included with all S18 booster boxes. Check them out below! From left to right: Preview Promos, Anniversary Reprints, and Promo Sleeves. Each box comes with one variety of each item, assigned at random.

The preview promos feature Female Byleth and Seliph, the two leading characters for their respective titles in S19. We also get some new 4th Anniversary promos, this time featuring old magazine promos of Ike and Lucina. Last up, the preview sleeves feature special sprites for Female Byleth and Ephraim.

Speaking of special goodies, the promotions page updated as well with better images of the die-cut memo books available at the S18 release. You’ll get one memo book, chosen at random, for each booster box (or loose 16 packs) you buy while supplies last. Available designs are Edelgard, Dimitri, or Claude.

That’s all we have for now! Cipher Series 18 will release in about a month on 26 September. In the meantime, it’ll be an exciting month of news, reveals, and speculation. For further discussion about Cipher, feel free to join us in the Cipher subforum on the forums! You can also check out the Cipher Wiki for translations of the cards and more detailed information.
