Heroes: A Hero Rises 2021 Results Now In!

The final results of this year’s A Hero Rises have been announced! Without further ado, let’s take a look…

To reiterate, the top eight are:

  1. Seiros
  2. Duo Lyn
  3. Legendary Dimitri
  4. Freyja
  5. Legendary Corrin (F)
  6. Brave Edelgard
  7. Duo Byleth (F)
  8. Duo Micaiah

These eight will battle it out in a special “A Hero Rises” Voting Gauntlet, which begins from 27th February 2021 (UTC). Like previously, the winner of the gauntlet will be gifted to all players. Meanwhile, the top four will appear in a summoning banner later.

If you’re curious, you can also check out the interim results, to see how the rankings changed. Seiros and Duo Lyn held onto the top two spots, while most of the others shuffled around. Poor Chrom was pushed off a cliff though…

Heroes: Enduring Legacy banner brings Genealogy of the Holy War favorites to the fray

It’s that time again, Summoners. The next batch of new Heroes is upon us, in the Judgral-themed (Genealogy of the Holy War) Enduring Legacy banner that drops in just two days.

We get to see some upgrades to the Duel skills this time around, specifically in R Duel Infantry and B Duel Flying 4, both of which grant higher score caps and also some additional stats beyond HP +5. We also have a Deck Swabber equivalent in the Unbound Blade+ sword, and the first omni-phase brave weapon with Lex’s PRF Goddess Axe. What’s more, is that Lex is the 4* Focus unit, so Summoners may have a stellar opportunity to add a mighty unit to their Green Axe Cav pool.

Not only that, but we see in the story continuation, the appearance of one of the characters teased in the Book V video, Dagr, who joins the battle with their Axe and maybe flies? As for a character we don’t see, we will soon, in the upcoming Grand Hero Battle featuring Díthorba: Cutting Knight, on February 17 at the daily reset. She’s not a very well known character, so I’ll be interested to see how she is portrayed in FEH.

Finally, this banner will feature the Spark bonus (fitting, given Azelle’s weapon) on 40 summons, so Summoners are guaranteed to acquire a character of their choice.

This banner will kick off on February 15 at 11p PT (Feb 16 for the rest of us across the continental US and beyond).

Heroes: Resplendent Tana Swoops In & February/March Calendar!

Starting today, Resplendent Brave Ike is now available for FEH Pass subscribers. As for the next Resplendent Hero… *drum-roll* It’s Tana: Winged Princess! She’ll be swooping in from 25th February 2021 (UTC).

This version of Tana is wearing clothes from (we still need the FEH spellchecker) Ljósálfheimr, the friendly realm from Book IV. You can find more artwork and voice clips via her official page.

Moving on, the event calendar for mid February to mid March 2021 has been released. Let’s take a gander…

Also, don’t forget the “A Hero Rises” Voting Gauntlet, which starts on 26th February.
