Heroes: Olwen Will be August’s First Resplendent Hero!

Slightly earlier than usual, Fire Emblem Heroes has revealed the next Resplendent Hero who will be added after male Robin, from 10th August 2020 (UTC).

You’re looking at Olwen: Blue Mage Knight, but dressed in Askran garb! For more images and voice clips, please check out her page on the Feh Pass website.

As a reminder, male Robin’s Resplendent skin will be available from 25th July (UTC). Until then, Feh Pass subscribers can grab Resplendent Minerva if they haven’t done so already.

Heroes: Eremiya’s Grand Hero Battle Now Available!

Joining the recently added Heroes in Heroes, Light and Shadow is Eremiya: Bishop of Woe, who can now be challenged in Grand Hero Battles until the daily rollover on 3rd August 2020 (UTC).

For those not familiar, Eremiya is the leader of a group of assassins from New Mystery of the Emblem, serving under Gharnef. She’s probably the last notable villain to be added from the Archanea arc, besides Medeus, the Shadow Dragon.

If you want to know her better, check out her Meet the Heroes page (there are spoilers, but that’s nothing new). Oddly, her images are labelled as “Jeremiah: Hollow Bishop” (Eremiah was her name in the fan translation for a spell). It’s probably just a placeholder though.

Anyway, please keep reading if you want to know her abilities and whatnot.

Regarding the Allegations Against FE YouTubers Mangs and Chaz Aria LLC

Last week, two prominent members of the Fire Emblem YouTube community–Mangs and Chaz Aria LLC–were accused on social media of sexual assault (the former) and sexual coercion (the latter).

Ordinarily, we wouldn’t get involved because, besides our shared passion for the Fire Emblem series, there’s nothing to tie us together. However, events escalated in such a manner that I think it would be wrong for me to stay silent.

Before I get into the details, I want to be clear: sexual harassment and abuse are completely unacceptable, whether you belong to the Fire Emblem community or elsewhere. If anyone has been the subject of sexual harassment/abuse, I believe they should have a safe platform to speak up. Although (judging by how events have unfolded) social media may not be the best place.

In addition, I must emphasise: the contents of this article are solely the opinion of myself. They do not reflect the rest of the Serenes Forest team, nor its community. Everyone should be entitled to their own opinion and I dare not claim to represent everyone. Also, I don’t know the truth behind the events and I probably never will.

Heroes: Kris Finally Arrives in “Heroes, Light and Shadow”, Alongside Lena & Julian!

Following the 10th anniversary of New Mystery of the Emblem (has it been that long?!), Fire Emblem Heroes has released a new trailer featuring Heroes from that game (and the original that it’s a remake of).

Titled “Heroes, Light and Shadow” (which is the same as the game’s extra sub-title in Japanese), the featured Heroes are: Kris (male), Julian, Lena and Kris (female). At long last, the secondary protagonist of New Mystery, as well as the very first Avatar character, is here!

As usual, one of these four Heroes will be part of the 4-star focus, although if you thought it’d be Julian because of… obvious reasons, it’s actually Lena! Then again, she has no new skills, we guess. The summoning event will run from 20th July (UTC). In addition, Eremiya: Bishop of Woe will appear in the next scheduled Grand Hero Battle.

For a text breakdown of the new Heroes, please carry onward…
