Heroes: Legendary Myrrh Descends from the Woods!

You don’t need to analyse the strangely large black box any more: the next Legendary Hero will be Myrrh from The Sacred Stones, who appears in a summoning event from 31st May 2022 (UTC).

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

Following Tiki and Fae, Myrrh is the third young dragon girl to achieve the rank of Legendary Hero. Despite not being a Divine Dragon like those two, she is still fairly important to her game world, being the guardian of Darkling Woods.

If you’re confused about the “large black box” I mentioned, the FE Heroes team “teased” the next Legendary Hero by representing them as a blank mystery box for the next season’s Arena Bonus Heroes. To my knowledge, this box was bigger than usual, prompting speculation it could be a Manakete, flier or cavalry Hero.

Anyway, the following Heroes will also be featured:

  • Red: Legendary Eliwood, Priam and Neimi
  • Blue: Legendary Byleth (F) and Legendary Caeda
  • Green: Legendary Edelgard, Dagr and Legendary Byleth (M)
  • Colorless: Bramimond, Legendary Claude and Ascended Joshua

Please continue for a breakdown of Myrrh’s abilities!

Community Spotlight: “The Wind Beneath Me”, a Cyril-focused Charity Zine (Pre-orders Open Till 10th June)

One of the coolest things about the Fire Emblem community is how devoted fans are. Even with many hundreds of characters, there’s rarely a character, no matter how small, who isn’t loved by some fans.

Another very cool aspect is how resourceful fans can be, when they put their minds to things. Today, I’m happy to share an on-going project that combines both of these.

The Wind Beneath Me” is an anthology/zine focused on Cyril, the curt but well-meaning Almyran lad from Three Houses.

With so many massively popular characters spawning from Three Houses, you’d be forgiven if Cyril doesn’t make your top 10 list. However, with how big and passionate the community is, it turns out that Cyril has more than enough fans to make an impact!

Besides showcasing their undaunted admiration for Cyril, the zine also promotes a very worthy cause. Proceeds from sales will be donated to the charity, DCIP (Defense for Children International Palestine).

The zine itself features 65+ pages, including 25+ pages of artwork and 8 fics. It’s a SFW (safe for work) zine that has general and shipping content of Cyril in both his pre-timeskip and timeskip guises.

You can order the zine physically or digitally (the physical zine also includes a digital copy).

  • “Archer’s Tailwind” – Physical zine – 25 USD
  • “Spring Breeze” – Digital zine – 10 USD

There’s also a bundle that includes the zine plus additional merch, such as art prints, a bookmark and sticker sheet.

  • “Almyran Gale” – The full bundle – 40 USD

Pre-orders are open until 10th June 2022, via their storefront. International shipping is available. UK customers can purchase from their Etsy store instead.

(Note: This article was meant to be published earlier, but due to the Serenes Forest team’s circumstances, it was delayed.)

For further information, please check out their Twitter and information page.

There are also two very cool promotions.

FE Warriors: Three Hopes – The Deer of the Alliance

It’s that time again! We’re looking at the Golden Deer this week for Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes.

Let’s get to it!

Claude’s showing in the trailer is very brief, just showing him shoot a storm of arrows. They seem to know we want to see the rest of the Deer’s new designs considering Hilda’s sequence is just about as short.

Come on follow me!

Hilda shows her devastating axe arm, and also shows off the ability her profile mentioned many weeks ago. She can drag enemies together with lightning to hit them all at once, which seems really useful if enemies are spread out or if archers are picking at you while you’re fighting others. Just to name two examples.

Note: Like before, the class profiles appear to describe each character’s personal skill when it says “[character] also”, or along those lines.
