Heroes: Additions arrive from Abyss and Múspell on Sept 17

September 14, 2021 FE Heroes, News No comments

I certainly wasn’t expecting this in the latest Heroes banner, but I’m definitely ok with the surprise, in the Abyss & Múspell banner, featuring Yuri, Constance and Hapi from the Fire Emblem Three Houses DLC, as well as the next Heroes OC in Múspell.

There are a handful of variant skills in the batch, and a heck of a lot of Canto amongst the arrivals from Abyss. New skills include Atk/Res Catch 4, A/S Far Trace 3, AR-Def/Res 4, and probably the most notable for scorekeepers in the arena, C Duel Infantry 4.

Additionally, Balthus: King of Grappling, a Green Axe Infantry (and showing off how good of a grappler he is by using an Axe…), will be an upcoming unit available as a 3* or 4* in the summoning pool. Furthermore, Aelfric: Custodian Monk, will be the next Grand Hero Battle unit, which can be earned in his respective Grand Hero Battle available on Sept 17. You can also spark a unit after 40 summons, and finally, there will be a Celestial Stone also available after 40 summons.

The Abyss & Múspell banner will kick off on September 17 at 12a PT.

Heroes: Resplendent Sothe & September/October Event Calendar

September 11, 2021 FE Heroes, Headliners, News No comments

What’s this? A notice just came blowing through our door… Aha, September’s second Resplendent Hero will be Sothe: Zephyr.

This version of Sothe is decked out in Niðavellir-style fashion. He’ll be available for Feh Pass subscribers from 25th September 2021 (UTC). In the meantime, you can check out his artwork (by Daisuke Izuka) and voice samples via the official website.

Also, the event calendar spanning mid-September through mid-October is now up.

Key dates include 17th September, when the next set of New Heroes arrive, 30th September, when another Mythic Hero descends, and lastly 7th October, when more Special Heroes will be introduced.

Since Múspell: Flame God was recently introduced in the currently on-going Tempest Trials, there’s a decent chance he may appear in the next New Heroes banner. Meanwhile, the October Special Heroes should be this year’s Halloween Heroes.

Anyway, please continue for the text version of the calendar!

Community Spotlight: Nacre Artbook, a Color Palette Character Study (preorders open until Sept 13)

September 9, 2021 Community, News No comments

Across social media, you may have seen a project or two from the Fire Emblem fanbase showing off cool creations like bookmarks, -zines, acrylic charms and more. Fans certainly are capable of creating projects with cool themes and unique elements! One such project happened across my desk recently, and it definitely met both of those criteria, and I’m here to share it with you; the Fire Emblem Three Houses Color Zine, Nacre.

Nacre boasts a theme of limited color palette character studies, by simulating a color wheel within its pages. It’s not every day that you see art in a fan-zine sorted and grouped by color, but this idea immediately caught my eye, and I hope it catches yours as well.

The project itself can be viewed at their BigCartel page and, what’s more, preorders for this zine are open until September 13. Additionally, their social media options include Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram.

There are three options for purchase; the straight digital book [PDF] (for $25) the Book Bundle (for $35, and includes the PDF, as well as an artbook and a bookplate), and the Full Bundle (for $50, and includes the Book Bundle contents, plus washi tape and a charm).

Additionally, two stretch goals were met, allowing the inclusion of a holographic cover and a gorgeous enamel Sothis pin. Regardless of what you order, it’s expected that you will have something in-hand by the end of November!
