Heroes: Summertime 2022 Slams in on July 7 with Magvel regulars and a pair of Gods

After a hiatus and a move, I’m back and ready to take a look at Fire Emblem Heroes again, and what’s more exciting to take a look at then a Special Heroes banner!?

This time around, in the Taken by the Tide Special Heroes banner, we have some love for the mobile series as well as Fire Emblem Sacred Stones, by way of summer-versions of Eirika, Lyon, Nifl, Thor (+ Loki) and Tempest Trials+ reward unit Seth: Silver-Sea Knight (a Green Axe Cavalry). Furthermore, Lyon: Sunlit Prince will be available in the 4-star pool as a focus unit. Lastly, there are a handful of new and interesting inheritable skills in this batch of Heroes, so the artwork isn’t the only thing Summoners will be looking at.

As per usual, this banner will run for a month, from July 7 until August 6.

Good luck, Summoners!

Heroes: New Tempest Trials Series to Continue from Book III

A year ago, Fire Emblem Heroes surprised us with “Ice & Flame”, a 6-part Tempest Trials+ series that brought back Fjorm and other characters from Book II.

Since then, fans have speculated if the same could happen for other Books. Well, now, it’s been confirmed that Book III will also be getting its own Tempest Trials+ series, starting with the one on 7th July 2022 (UTC).

Via the in-game notification: “The Tempest Trials+ event that starts at […] is part of a series about Eir and those whose lives she has touched. […]”

To hype up the occasion, the FE Heroes team have created a cutesy “chibi playhouse” video that whimsically recaps the events of Book III, in case you’ve forgotten what went down.
