It’s that time again, for another Legendary Hero to join the fray. This time, we have someone who was due to receive the title eventually, in Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn’s Micaiah.
Legendary Micaiah is a Colorless Tome Infantry, Wind-affinity Legendary Hero with the Duel blessing, the Pair-Up property, and comes with a slew of new skills, including 3 PRFs and one new (likely) inheritable option in Joint Dist. Guard. , which does pretty much what you’d expect it to. As far as her PRFs go, her weapon boasts in optimal scenarios, dual-effectiveness as per normal, +23 Atk, +6 Res, guaranteed follow-ups, and on player phase, Desperation 2. Additionally, her B-PRF gives a -5 Atk/Res debuff on foes and also gives her a 30% damage reduction from 2-range enemies. If she isn’t attacking, her Assist-PRF is a unique combination of Harsh Command+ and Sacrifice, that converts penalties into bonuses, removes remaining penalties (presumably things such as movement penalties), and refills a targets HP to a max of Micaiah’s HP -1.
As always with a Legendary Hero banner, we’ll see an inclusion of an 8% Focus summoning rate on a specific set of 11 other heroes, in addition to our Legendary Hero of choice. The set includes:
Blue
Farina
Ingrid
Nagi
Colorless
Ashera
Edelgard (Fallen)
Green
Edelgard (Legendary)
F!Morgan (Fallen)
Thrasir
Red
Lilina (Legendary)
M!Morgan (Fallen)
Sothis
The Legendary Hero (Micaiah: Radiant Queen) banner drops on August 31, and runs until September 6. Good luck, Summoners!

Starting today, Resplendent Sonya is available for Feh Pass subscribers. As it happens, the next Resplendent Hero is also a mage gal–Tailtiu: Thunder Noble.
This version of Tailtiu is wearing attired based on the Emblian Empire. She’ll be available from 10th September 2021. In the meantime, you can check her artwork (by kaya8) and voice samples via the Feh Pass website.
If you want to play around with it (or the Gatekeeper AR filter), you need to access the page on your Instagram app, then select the “sparkle” icon above the posts.
With the arrival of the Choose Your Legends 5 winners, the Fire Emblem Heroes team has spared no expense showcasing the serious and silly sides of these Brave Heroes.
Firstly, if you’re undecided about which of the four Heroes to gun for, the Nintendo Treehouse gang has put together an informative Tips & Tricks video highlighting their unique abilities.
There's a commotion in Askr's castle, and, rumor has it, there have been spooky sounds coming from within! It's up to you, summoners, to send Gatekeeper, Marianne, Marth, and Eirika to find the source! The investigation begins here! #FEHeroes#FireEmblem#FEHUncannyInquiries
Next, over on Twitter, you can join in on a fun little adventure called Uncanny Inquiries, where you can send pairs of the Brave Heroes to investigate strange goings-on.
To participate, you’ll need a Twitter account. After clicking the link, you’ll begin a Direct Message conversation with the FE Heroes Twitter account (similar to last year’s Christmas card event), where you can choose your pairs and watch cute videos of them exploring.
Fans have long anticipated the reveal of the Choose Your Legends 5 quartet, and today, we finally have news on them, in today’s Feh Channel andKeepers of Faith Banner Trailer!
To summarize, we have:
Marth, an incredibly powerful sword infantry that despite bringing a Falchion as per normal, comes with a wild assortment of buffing abilities for himself and his party members, a new Distant Counter type of A skill, and a conditional Vantage that has no HP check
Eirika, a very strong lance cavalry unit that has a strong defensive build in both her weapon’s %-reduction and her self-healing A skill through, as well as a B skill that acts as an enhanced Luna that also disables Guard effects
Marianne, a colorless tome infantry dancer that can reflexively dance a nearby unit simply by engaging in combat on player phase, including other dancers.
Gatekeeper, a super defensive green tome infantry that comes with a Close Counter variant, a useful version of Obstruct through his B Prf, and a weapon that bestows a variety of debuffs on enemies based on cardinally-placed allies similar to the Arvis/Saias 3-row/column range condition.
Along with these mighty units, comes a way to free-summon during this Choose Your Legend Summon Event. Summoners will get a free pull of their choice immediately on release (nothing new here as every banner has a free ‘Redeem’ on it), but also, a free Spark’able unit of their choice at 40, 80, 120 and 160 Summons. The caveat to this is that for each one that you pick, they become unavailable for following Sparks, meaning that you cannot spark a single unit more than one time in this. You’ll also get up to four Celestial Stones through these Sparks.
There’s a bit more news to add, as the Choose Your Legends 4 selection that is present for new players, will be expiring by August 31. If you have a friend that may want to give Fire Emblem Heroes a shot, encourage that they attempt to join and summon before then, to score a powerful free Hero.
Additionally, starting on August 17, there is a Dragonflower upgrade, as all units can have an additional 5 Dragonflowers spent on themselves, at a cost of 40, 80, 120, 160 and 200 per application of Dragonflower. Each applied Dragonflower will apply +1 to a unit’s stat, as per normal. Conveniently, there will be a Log-In bonus, awarding Summoners with 120 of each Dragonflower, allowing for effectively a free +2 application to a unit [per each of the 4 movement-types] of their choice. This Log-In Bonus only requires a single log in.
Starting Aug. 17, 12 AM PT, special versions of the Heroes chosen in the Choose Your Legends: Round 5 event will appear in the New Heroes: Keepers of Faith summoning event! Also, the next Grand Hero Battle with Pelleas: Ashnard's Orphan will start Aug. 18, 12 AM PT. #FEHeroespic.twitter.com/cDGHTyLMzU
Through courtesy of the Fire Emblem Heroes Twitter accounts, we have news that Pelleas: Ashnard’s Orphan will be the next Grand Hero Battle unit, kicking off on August 18. I expect him to be a Red Tome unit, per his Dark Magic weapon proficiency from Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn, and his art, which is visible through the official Meet The Heroes page.
Speaking of that, the Meet The Heroes page has been updated with all four of Eirika, Gatekeeper, Marianne and Marth, as well as Pelleas. Full in-game character artwork for each of the five can be seen on these pages, as well as the chibis, and some story details if you’d like to see them. I highly recommend you check out Gatekeeper’s, at least for the animals in his in-game and chibi artworks.
