Dragalia Lost: Fire Emblem “Kindred Ties” Event is Now Live!

The second Fire Emblem Heroes crossover event in Dragalia Lost, “Kindred Ties” has now started! The event will be available until the new day begins on 12th May 2020 (UTC).

During this event, players can obtain Sharena for free and try to summon for Chrom, Peony and Tiki. All four are limited-time 5-star units.

To encourage players to stay, certain content–and the ability to summon for Tiki–is locked until 4th May 2020 (UTC).

Earlier, Nintendo and Cygames shared a trailer showcasing Chrom and Peony, who are currently available to summon. For a full breakdown of their abilities (and Sharena’s), please continue to the end of our article.

If you’re interested, the rest of this article will briefly go over the specifics of the event.

Similar to the first crossover event, the game’s title screen has swapped over to a Fire Emblem theme–one that’s clearly inspired by Awakening. Heck, Chrom is more or less doing the same pose!

In case you missed it, the first crossover event, “Lost Heroes”, is currently being re-run and ends at the same time as the new one. Accompanying it is the limited-time banner featuring Marth, Fjorm and Veronica.

“Kindred Ties” is a sequel to “Lost Heroes”; the cast of Dragalia acknowledge the first event multiple times. As such, if you’ve just started Dragalia, we recommend quickly going through the first event before starting the second.

Heroes: Details for Upcoming Version 4.5.0 & New Weapon Refines for Narcian, Gwendolyn, Leon and Siegbert!

The Fire Emblem Heroes team have shared details of the next version update (4.5.0), which is scheduled for 12 am at 7th May 2020 (UTC).

Here’s what you can look forward to very soon!

Purchase Past Accessories

Missed a cool-looking Accessory? All hope isn’t lost, as you can buy previously distributed Accessories via the Accessory Shop structure in the Aether Resort. Accessories will cost R&R Affinity; the new 8-Bit Leif Accessory is shown to cost 380.

If you can’t find a particular Accessory at first, more will be added as time goes on, similar to the Heroic Grails shop. However, Accessories obtained via damaging Rokkr enemies and Gold Accessories cannot be purchased–you have to earn them the hard way!

New Limited Time Combat Manuals

Starting from Version 4.5.0, new events will give out Divine Codes (Ephemera 5), which can be redeemed for the following combat manuals:

  • 5-star Ninian: Bright-Eyed Bride
  • 5-star Cordelia: Perfect Bride
  • 4-star Selena: Cutting Wit
  • 4-star Henry: Twisted Mind
  • 4-star L’Arachel: Princess of Light
  • 4-star Sothe: Zephyr
  • 4-star Mercedes: Kindly Devotee

These manuals can be compiled until the daily rollover on 28th June 2020 (UTC).
