Welcome to the first installment of our weekly recap series of Series 22 of Fire Emblem Cipher. Launching as a new booster expansion dubbed The Heroes’ Paean, this all-star set serves as conclusion to the Japanese trading card game’s five-year run.
In the weeks leading up to its October 1st release, the official Twitter account, @FEcipher, is revealing the latest cards each weekday, and we’ll be looking over them together as an overview of what’s to come!
An unlikely winner of Choose Your Legends 4 has arrived in Grand Hero Battles. Between 19th and 27th August 2020, Summoners can challenge Jorge: Traveling Peddler.
If you’ve never heard of our friend Jorge, we don’t blame you. Along with his twin brother Daniel (who makes a cameo in Jorge’s special art), he’s an incredibly minor shopkeeper from the Tellius games.
Still, if Jorge can make his way into Heroes, you have to wonder who else can…
Jorge: Traveling Peddler
Type: Blue Bow Infantry Voice: Aleks Le Artist: Daisuke Izuka
Weapon: Daniel-Made Bow – Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count -1). Effective against flying foes. Grants Atk +5 to allies within 2 spaces during combat. Inflicts Atk -5 on foes within 2 spaces during combat. Special: Ignis B: Chill Def 3 C: Atk Opening 3 (available at 4-star)
Today’s FE Heroes update is here, and it’s a nice addition to the rather small v.4.8.0 update we received earlier this month.
A shortlist of all of today’s additions to the game:
CYL 4 Winners Banner (A New Future) is now available to summon from,
This particular New Banner can be “Sparked” not once, but four times (you still need to summon 40 times between each Spark),
One free Summon of any CYL4 Hero,
Forging Bonds event featuring the four new CYL winners
Dragonflower limit raised for all Heroes released before the 18th of August 2020 will be raised by 5. Specific details will be included below.
New Main Story Chapter: Book IV, Chapter 10: “Lack“
First off, the new banner: “A New Future“!
Dimitri: King of Faerghus, Claude: Almyra’s King, Edelgard: Adrestian Emperor, and Lysithea: Earnest Seeker are now available to summon. You can click on “Read more” below to view their skills and level 40 base stats.
Don’t forget that you can “Spark” up to four times (each focus Hero once only), so use this to your advantage if you have the Orbs to do so and you want to secure yourself at least one copy of each (besides the free pull, of course).
As is tradition regarding CYL winners, you can also receive one of the new Brave Heroes of your choice for free!
If you plan to use Orbs and summon from the new banner, you should probably hold off on your free pick until you’re finished with the banner.
Also today: A new Forging Bonds event has begun featuring the four new Brave Heroes. Be aware that the event contains minor spoilers for events within the Three Houses game, but not so much that would sully your experience should you choose to play it for yourself.
Playing the event will net you up to four Free First Summon Tickets along with new accessories based on the four new Heroes, along with a total of 14 Orbs for daily participation.
Click on “Read more” below to view information on the new Heroes as well as information regarding the Dragonflower limit increase.
Choose Your Legends Round 4 units are finally debuted. As a reminder, we have winners of each gender Dimitri and Edelgard, as well as runners-up Claude and Lysithea. You’ll notice through the artwork, is that all four units have their design based on their FE Cipher (the FE trading card game) artwork.
