Heroes: Rearmed Robin, Ascended Eir & More Awakening Latecomers

The next New Heroes banner in FE Heroes will be “Special: Rearmed Robin & More”.

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

The featured Heroes include: Rearmed Robin (F), Gregor, Phila and Ascended Eir.

In addition, Ricken will appear as a new 3 and 4-star Hero, while Cervantes will join as a Grand Hero Battle.

With this, the amount of Awakening characters still not in the game has shrank again. However, poor souls such as Vaike, Kellam and Validar will probably have to keep waiting until its their turn.

Anyway, please continue for a breakdown of the Heroes from the trailer!

Fire Emblem Engage: Celica Tidbits via Twitter

This week, we’re back to a single Thursday Twitter post for Fire Emblem Engage.

After the double whammy of Alfred and Céline, the spotlight goes to Celica, who Céline seems to have an affinity for.

Celica’s profile:

The Emblem Celica (VA: Nao Tōyama), also known as the “Emblem of Echoes”, is a princess and warrior priestess from a bountiful nation. A survivor of the Zofian royal family from the Outrealm continent of Valentia.

Previously, Marth was referred to as the “Emblem of Beginnings” so presumably every Emblem has their own title. Perhaps we’ll see titles like “Emblem of Radiance” for Ike, “Emblem of Awakening” for Lucina, etc.

Next, a battle showcasing Celica:

The map shown is the seemingly early battle in the verdant nation (Firene), where Louis and Chloé appear to be stranded at the centre of the map.

The party is pretty familiar at this point: Alear, Vander, Framme, Cramme, Alfred, Céline, Etie and the brown-haired axe guy who’s with Alfred and Etie. Plus the aforementioned stranded(?) Louis and Chloé.

As the player selects and moves Céline & Celica, there are speech bubbles over Louis and Chloé, which didn’t appear in previous footage. So it’s likely Céline can trigger unique dialogue with them. Which further suggests the pair could be her retainers (and perhaps in trouble).

Fire Emblem Engage: Céline Tidbits via Twitter

Following Alfred‘s Twitter posts on Monday, this Friday, the official Japanese Fire Emblem Twitter shared some tidbits for Céline who, as expected, is his sister.

Céline’s profile:

Céline (VA: Akari Kitō) is the first princess of the Firenese Kingdom and Alfred’s younger sister. She’s a kind and innocent philanthropist who always strives to solve things peacefully. However, she won’t hesitate to fight for peace if necessary.

Previously, it was possible to guess that she and Alfred were related due to their similar hair and eye colours, as well as motifs in their outfits (especially the black and white bands).

Next, we have two battles:

These battles showcase Céline’s starting class of Noble, which is the same as Alfred’s. However, Céline’s Noble class can wield swords and magic. The first battle showcases her swordplay, then the next one her magic.

During the first battle scene, the map takes place at night time, during Fog of War.

The characters on the field include Vander, Louis, Céline, Alfred (engaged with Sigurd), Framme, brown-haired axe guy with Alfred, Cramme and Etie. Near the bottom-right corner, Chloé has ended her turn. Up north (currently off-screen), I think there’s Alear.

On the map, there’s an unlit torch near the enemies that Céline is moving towards. There are also three more of these elsewhere on the map. Presumably, you can light them to increase the vision around them.

Heroes: Dragons Invade Halloween Again in “Divine Harvest”

Certain themes come and go, with even the dancer, ninja and pirate banners taking a break. But this year, we’ll still be celebrating Halloween with dragons.

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

The featured Special Heroes include: Corrin (F), Corrin (M), Naga and Duo Duma (with Mila).

In addition, Nils: Wandering Star will be available from the Tempest Trials event.

If you guessed Nils and male Corrin from the silhouettes, well done. Also, at long last, Witch Corrin has made the transition from FE: Cipher to FE: Heroes. Hmm, are there any notable dragons remaining for another draconic Halloween next year?

Anyway, please continue for a breakdown of the Heroes from the trailer!
