Heroes: Version 5.5.0 Details & Scheduled Maintenance

Today, we have further details of the upcoming Version 5.5.0 update for Fire Emblem Heroes, which is planned to release around 6th May 2021, at 11 pm 7 am UTC.

Ahead of the update’s arrival, the game will be down for maintenance between 4 am and 7 am on 6th May 2021 (UTC).

Some of the features were already discussed in the Golden Week Feh Channel, but there’s also some new stuff.

Reserve Barracks

As featured in the Feh Channel, you’ll be able to store a total of 1000 Heroes using the new reserve barracks. There will be 10 reserve barracks, each with a maximum capacity of 100 Heroes. You can manage your reserve barracks via the Allies menu.

Move to Reserves: Use this to move up to 10 Heroes from your main barracks to the first reserve barracks with available space. You can also rename each of your reserve barracks.

Manage Groups: Lets you freely move your Heroes between your main barracks and all 10 reserve barracks. Again, you can select up to 10 Heroes at once.

Heroes sent to reserve barracks will unequip their Sacred Seals, Accessories and Pair Up partners. Also, they will lose their Summoner Support (although the wording is unclear if this is temporary or permanent).

Heroes: Resplendent Leif Coming Soon & Jugdrali Hall of Forms!

The first Resplendent Hero of May has been revealed as Leif: Prince of Leonster!

This version of Leif is wearing white and blue armor based on Nifl, the ice kingdom. His resplendent form will be available from 10th May 2021 (UTC). You can check out more artwork (by Suekane Kumiko) and voice clips via his webpage.

There’s some more Jugdrali-themed news today as well. The next Hall of Forms starting from 25th April (UTC) will feature Heroes who fought alongside Leif–from the 2nd generation of Genealogy of the Holy War.

  • Larcei: Keen Kin
  • Shannan: Wielder of Astra
  • Ced: Hero on the Wind
  • Altena: Luminous Rider

With the introduction of the Celestial Stone, even free-to-play players can eventually earn a Forma Soul needed to redeem a Forma Hero.

Heroes: Childhood Encounter Banner Brings Sacred Stones Favorites on April 19

In the upcoming Special Heroes banner, we’re graced with another batch of children, this time from Magvel, in the Special Heroes: Childhood Encounter banner. This banner is no slouch, bringing in some mighty miniatures, along with a handful of new inheritable skills that are sure to whet the palettes of B-skill enthusiasts…or give them a headache as to consider what to equip, the old or the new skills.

The new Eirika & Ephraim Duo Unit is clearly the star of the show, bringing a powerful Duo Skill in the form of Spd-based damage reduction, but I’m quite curious about the new -Trace skills, which allow its used to possess the Canto ability. Tana and L’Arachel both possess the -Trace skill, implying that it’s only available for Fliers and Cavalry units (not a shocker), but it’s inheritable, meaning that Reginn and Sumia are no longer the only units in the game with access to Canto.

Lyon: Grado’s Gaze, will be available as part of the 4* Focus batch. It’s about time a new Blue tome unit became available in the lower pool. Not only that, but the colorless bow infantry unit, Innes: Frelian Moonlight, will be a Tempest Trials+ reward unit through the upcoming Tempest Trials+ event that kicks off later this month.

The Childhood Encounter banner runs from April 19 through May 19, so good luck, Summoners!
