Heroes: New Legendary Hero Fae, first available Oct 29 – Nov 4

October 27, 2021 FE Heroes, News No comments

Each time a new Mythic or Legendary Hero gets released, my daughter and I watch the banner trailer together. She was super excited to see today’s trailer, mostly because she enjoys the characters advertised as cute (which according to her, include long-time favorites in Nino, Ephraim, Eirika and Fae). Who did today’s trailer announce? None other than everyone’s favorite chicken dragon, Fae: Childlike Dragon!

Legendary Blue Breath Fae comes coupled with some pretty unique PRF skills, notably in the form of a new inheritable Distant Counter variant, Distant Stance, and an extremely unique PRF Special, Life Unending. It functions similarly to the base Miracle, except that at turn 1, it cools down to activation status immediately, and also fully heals Fae the first time it procs during a map’s battle. This makes Fae extremely durable, because her weapon can reduce universal stats and negate follow-up attacks (although she is still susceptible to units with Brave weapons that pierce her PRF on the first strike, or that can ignore her follow-up negation).

As far as inheritance goes, this is a pretty good one, because one could conceivably pass Dragon’s Ire and Def/Res Menace, or Dragon’s Ire and Distant Stance, (or Distant Stance and Def/Res Menace) depending on the inheritor’s skills. Free/Grail unit Aelfric can supply a unit with the needs for Def/Res Menace, which may help Summoners plan inheritance if they’re not interested in keeping multiples of Fae, but score some with good fortune.

On a secondary note, she comes with the Duel Blessing under the Earth Affinity, and the expected Dual Unit status (showcased this time with Sophia).

Included in the Legendary Hero banner are the expected 11 companion heroes, all of which feature the 8% Appearance Rate. This batch includes:

  • Blue
    • Nifl
    • Ullr
  • Colorless
    • Alm (Legendary)
    • Duma
    • Mila
  • Green
    • Charlotte
    • Hel
    • Triandra
  • Red
    • Mirabalis
    • Nyx
    • Roy (Legendary)

This banner will run from October 29 (12:00 PT) until November 4 (11:59p PT). If this banner interests you, then good luck, Summoners!

Heroes: Serra Will Be First Staff Resplendent!

October 25, 2021 FE Heroes, News No comments

The next Resplendent Hero to grace Fire Emblem Heroes will be Serra: Outspoken Cleric. She’ll also be the first staff-wielder to receive a Resplendent form.

This version of Serra is wearing clothes based on Nifl, the realm of ice. She’ll be available for subscribers from 10th November 2021 (UTC). In the meantime, you can check the Feh Pass website for her artwork (by eihi) and sample voice clips.

Heroes: More Archaneans Arrive with Ascended Fjorm!

October 17, 2021 FE Heroes, News No comments

The trailer for the next batch of New Heroes is here–and there’s a twist. “New Heroes & Ascended Fjorm”, which runs from 18th October 2021 (UTC) will feature characters from Mystery of the Emblem alongside the new Fjorm from the “Ice & Flame 4” Tempest Trials+ event.

Note: You can check out the Japanese version of this trailer here.

The featured Heroes in the banner are: Wolf, Malice, Roshea and Ascended Fjorm. Wolf and Roshea are members of the Wolfguard, an elite squadron created by followers of Hardin. Meanwhile, Malice is a mercenary who debuted in BS Fire Emblem and returned in New Mystery of the Emblem.

As for Fjorm, she’s the first Ascended Hero–a new type of Hero that comes with a new mechanic. Ascended Heroes can be given an Ascended Asset, which is a second Asset, in addition to their default Asset/Flaw. This is effectively a free +3 or +4 to a secondary stat.

Non-Ascended Heroes can also be given an Ascended Asset by using an Ascended Floret item. One Floret will be awarded the first time a unique Ascended Hero is summoned (but no more). Also, one Floret will be awarded the first time you access the “Ascend Traits” menu (so all players will get 1 and lucky players can get 2).

By the way, if you need to change a Hero’s Ascended Asset after the fact, you can do so by using a Trait Fruit. Furthermore, Ascended Assets have no impact of Arena scoring etc.

Besides that, the remaining two members of the Wolfguard will also be available. Sedgar: Coyote’s Dutiful will appear in an upcoming Grand Hero Battle, while Vyland: Coyote’s Justice will be obtainable from special Quests, before being added to the summoning pool from the next Special Heroes banner.

Please continue for a breakdown of the Heroes from the trailer!
