(I hope a thread like this is ok to post. It's exciting to see that Cipher of all projects is getting an official Twitter to share details, and I hope more stuff than is already known get's posted. Either way it looks like we'll get more official card designs and details out of this!)

On May 22nd Ryota Kawade, the producer for Fire Emblem Cipher, has started officially sharing details and a few "behind-the-scenes" thoughts regarding the new Fire Emblem TCG "Fire Emblem Cipher".

This thread aims to share these minor details and other information provided via the Twitter account and future website updates until the TCG's release on June 25th without disrupting the rules/card translation thread that is more focused on the detailed specific information as well as wiki discussion at this point.

“The first set of Fire Emblem Cipher cards will be based on the characters from “Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light” and “Fire Emblem: Awakening”.

“[Card Introduction] This card depicts Marth as the protagonist of “Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light”. One of his skills forcefully moves enemy units making them withdraw to the rear guard. This is just one of the cards that plays an important role in the flow of this starter deck. (Illustrated by Yusuke Kozaki) #FECipher”

“[Card Introduction] Representing Chrom as the protagonist of Awakening is this card. He has the ability to greatly increase his own strength relative to the amount of class-changed allies on the field. With this card and the strength of your entire army you can change the tide of battle, sounds a bit familiar doesn’t it? (Illustrated by Yusuke Kozaki) #FECipher”

“[Kawade] There were so many viewers of our NicoNico Livestream Cipher presentation back on April 14th, so I want to thank everyone who joined us for that! I encourage those who haven’t yet seen it to watch the archived footage! I enjoyed presenting on stage that day, but I still can’t believe how nerve-racking it was. #FECipher http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv216702710

"[Card Introduction] You might remember during the course of Awakening Chrom and his band of soldiers came across a masked swordsman only going by "Marth". This card intends to capture that point in the game, as you can treat it not only as a Lucina card, but also a Marth card. It might be a bit strange at first, but try to use it in interesting ways as you play. (Illustrator Yusuke Kozaki) #FECipher"

May 27th

https://twitter.com/FEcipher/status/603395505922547712

"[Card Introduction] This is the "Vastly Talented Cordelia" card. One of her abilities allows her to attack twice in the same turn, which can vastly change the tide of battle. Since her attack power is a bit low, the key to using this card is to coordinate her attacks with your ally units. (Illustrator: YangYang) #FECipher"

https://twitter.com/FEcipher/status/603830212707655681

"[Kawade] The very first Fire Emblem Cipher trial event starts at 5pm on June 12th at Games Maya stores. Come by one of their stores and give Cipher a try! I also plan to come out that day and answer questions (at one of the locations) #FECipher"

May 28th

https://twitter.com/FEcipher/status/603802078838939648

"[Card Introduction] This is the Aristocratic Archer Virion card. Just like in the game, bows in the card game can give units a tremendous advantage over flying units in battle. For this card, the relevant skill increases the unit's attack two fold! (Illustrator: Sencha) #FECipher"

May 29th

https://twitter.com/FEcipher/status/604149867661811712

"[Kawade] Remember, the Cipher trial event is also being held in select consumer electronics stores!

https://twitter.com/FEcipher/status/604197048544436224

"[Kawade] When we debuted this Marth card drawn by Maki Hakoda at the livestream the other day, we had no idea how much it was going to resonate with the fans. Since then, we have brought Ms. Hakoda back on to do the illustrations for some of the series 2 cards, so fans have quite a bit to look forward to!"

"[Card Introduction] While Minerva is a Wyvern Rider in the game, this card depicts her in her years as a Pegasus Knight. When she is supported by another flying unit she gains even more strength. Of course, we also have a card for her in later Wyvern Rider years. (Illustrator: Mari Shimazaki) #FECipher"

https://twitter.com/FEcipher/status/605283719687995392

"[Card Introduction] This is the Minerva Wyvern Rider card. Since she gets additional power for each extra ally flying unit, she can flourish as the main character even in the face of the seemingly unbeatable "Clearing the Skies" archer skill. (Illustrator Mari Shimazaki) #FECipher"

June 2nd

https://twitter.com/FEcipher/status/605905953213411328

"[Card Introduction] This is the Manakete Dragon Tribe descendent, Tiki. Tiki was a strong presence on both sides of the War of Darkness. Manakete units like her are a great asset to have and often necessary for progression in the games. (Illustrator: cuboon) #FECipher"

https://twitter.com/FEcipher/status/605712302977875968

"[Card Introduction] This Miriel card is one of the cards exclusive to the Awakening Starter Deck. There is also a holographic Miriel card in the starter deck as well*. As you might expect, Miriel's skills are all about management of the cards in your hand. (Illustrator: Saori Toyota) #FECipher"

"[Card Introduction] This is the cleric Lena from Shadow Dragon. One of her skills is "Heal" which let's her return units from the discard pile back to your hand. The other skill called "Stolen Heart" is reminiscent of a defining part of her life-story in the original game. (Illustrator: Fumi) #FEcipher"

June 5th

https://twitter.com/FEcipher/status/606736858790305792

"[Card Introduction] As you may remember, Julian left his band of thieves behind in order to rescue the cleric Lena. In Cipher he has a technical skill that he is able to use that lets you look at the top card of the opponent's deck and then depending on what that card is you'll be able to draw a card from your own deck! (Illustrator: Mio Itou) #FEcipher"

June 8th

https://twitter.com/FEcipher/status/607821517825572864

"[Card Introduction] The Barst, Bord, and Cord cards have background art that ties their 3 cards together. Individually they all have great strength in battle, but when all three of them attack together it's truly devastating! (Illustrator: HACCAN) #FEcipher"

https://twitter.com/FEcipher/status/607743826631852032

"[Kawade] When we asked who would like to illustrate characters like Wrys, Barst, Bord, and Cord from the very first Fire Emblem game, many illustrators said they would love to do it. In the end, I think we found an illustrator that did them justice...and their work seems to be quite popular. ^^ #FEcipher"

June 9th

https://twitter.com/FEcipher/status/608190130226995201

"[Card Introduction] This is Tharja, wielder of Dark Magic. Her magic lets her attack with either a range of 1 or 2, and she also Support skill that makes the opponent throw away cards from their hand. (Illustrator: Terumii) #FEcipher"

June 10th

https://twitter.com/FEcipher/status/608447992094404611

https://twitter.com/FEcipher/status/608448466344390656

"[Kawade] For those who buy the Fire Emblem if Special Edition, on top of the Lucina card you will also receive this holographic Marth card as portrayed by Daisuke Izuka!"

https://twitter.com/FEcipher/status/608448556991676417

"[Kawade] Daisuke Izuka worked as a character designer on Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and New Mystery of the Emblem. We thought it would be appropriate for the "Special Edition" Marth to be a really cool looking card, so we got him to lend his expertise!"

June 11th

https://twitter.com/FEcipher/status/608883440339943426

"[Card Introduction] Lon'qu is infamous for his hate of women, but is it really hate? Carrying over from the games, this card is stuck with a skill that makes it impossible for him to be supported by female units. Maybe this card would best be suited for a males-only deck? (Illustrator: Clover K) #FEcipher"

https://twitter.com/FEcipher/status/608936594993586176

"[Card Introduction] The promoted Swordmaster Lon'qu seems to have a bit more experience dealing with his gynophobia, doesn't he? His attack power goes up for each ally sword-bearing unit on the field. Use his unavoidable attacks to finish off an opponent. (Illustrator: Clover K) #FEcipher"

"[Card Introduction] This is Camus, Captain of the Sable Order and most able-bodied soldier in all of Archanea. As is fitting, he has one of the strongest skills in the game "Blessed Lance Gradivus" which not only destroys all enemy units with cost 2 or less, but also powers him up for each one destroyed!

"[Card Intro] This is the Manakete Nowi of the ancient dragon tribe. Her attack increases once there are 6 or more bonds in your Bond Area. She also has a skill that lets you move cards from your Bond Area to your hand. To use Nowi to her fullest potential, you'll need to use these skills at just the right times."

"[Card Introduction] This is the promoted version of the previous Owain card we showed.

Thanks for the translations ^^

I saw the Twitter earlier and vaguely understood the tweets. Haha, I love the "nerve-wracking" comment.

Yep, it's fine~! If/when a wiki goes up, the Twitter blurbs could be put under Trivia or something.

I wonder if we could fit an embedded Twitter like some other sites?

The latest tweet seems to suggest that Nintendo and IS will be holding events at Japanese retailers to show people how to play Cipher in June.

Yep, this is the gist of it! I wasn't able to get to it until now, but I've now updated the OP with a complete translation, and it's here in this post as well.

The twitter updated again earlier today in Japan with a card introduction for a Lucina card. Unfortunately for us it isn't a new card, so much of this is information we've already known. Still, it's good to see regular updates on the official Twitter!

The FE Cipher Twitter just updated with a look at a Cordelia card.

I wasn't sure if I should post this in here or the general TCG thread so I posted them in the both. Apologies.

This was absolutely amazing to wake up to, thanks for the early catch! I was hoping we would be getting some never before seen cards mixed into the card introductions. I'll be working on getting the whole card translated today, but in the meantime this tweet sums up what her first skills does. Going along with her Dark Flier classing as Hardin noticed, the first skill is literally Galewind both in name and in function.

Quick note: If you are actively updating this thread with whatever's on Twitter, I will allow double-posts. If you are doing anything that is NOT what I just said, and double-post, that's grounds for a warning.

That being said, thanks for pulling all of this!

Thanks again catching this earlier, Rekt no Ken. I tried staying up a bit later last night to see if they would post, but the updates came much later than the previous ones my time over on the East coast, hahah. Today's updates talk about the "Aristocratic Archer" Virion card and some extra details on the Fire Emblem trial events going on in Japan.

"[Kawade] The very first Fire Emblem Cipher trial event starts at 5pm on June 12th at Games Maya stores. Come by one of their stores and give Cipher a try! I also plan to come out that day and answer questions (at one of the locations) #FECipher"

"[Card Introduction] This is the Aristocratic Archer Virion card. Just like in the game, bows in the card game can give units a tremendous advantage over flying units in battle. For this card, the relevant skill increases the unit's attack two fold! (Illustrator: Sencha) #FECipher"

【川出】先日の披露会では、 箱田真紀さんにマルスのカードを描いていただいたことへの反響が大きかったです。 箱田さんには他のキャラクターや第2弾以降のイラストも描いていただいているので、楽しみにしていてください。

Hey guys sorry for the long wait for the translations. I had been at a con all weekend and internet access was limited to my phone. I'll be working on the backlog today and hope to get all these tweets since Friday done today.

No hurry at all: We all really appreciate everything you do for the community and there's definitively no time deadlines! :)

I'm slightly miffed that all flyers seems to have the exact same stats (30/30 at base, 50/30 after class change) no matter what the character is. Ah well, it's a minor nitpick!

The four previous Cipher tweets contain a decent amount of new information. The first one is just about the Cipher demoing event, but the second one on May 29th had Kawade confirm that Maki Hakoda is returning to do art for some of the series 2 cards, which is pretty exciting!

The two from May 31st are all about the two Minerva cards. As is the case with previous Card Introduction tweets, it details one of the skills on the card, so that information is there. However, they snuck in an extra detail on the Wyvern Rider Minerva card that she can come to be used as a Main Character unit, confirming for sure that you can use cost 1 units that aren't specifically Lord class cards as a main character and that you can class change your main character unit into something more than just the cost 1 starting card.

May 29th

"[Kawade] Remember, the Cipher trial event is also being held in select consumer electronics stores! We will have several events you can participate in: on June 14th one will be held at the Sannomiya Joshin super store, one on June 20th at the West Nagoya Bic Camera store, and at the Akiba location Yodobashi store we will have one on both the 20th and 21st."

"[Kawade] When we debuted this Marth card drawn by Maki Hakoda at the livestream the other day, we had no idea how much it was going to resonate with the fans. Since then, we have brought Ms. Hakoda back on to do the illustrations for some of the series 2 cards, so fans have quite a bit to look forward to!"

May 31st

"[Card Introduction] While Minerva is a Wyvern Rider in the game, this card depicts her in her years as a Pegasus Knight. When she is supported by another flying unit she gains even more strength. Of course, we also have a card for her in later Wyvern Rider years. (Illustrator: Mari Shimazaki) #FECipher"

"[Card Introduction] This is the Minerva Wyvern Rider card. Since she gets additional power for each extra ally flying unit, she can flourish as the main character even in the face of the seemingly unbeatable "Clearing the Skies" archer skill. (Illustrator Mari Shimazaki) #FECipher"

It's pretty badass that they got Bayonetta's designer creating some of these cards.

Woah, until I read this post I didn't realize that Mari Shimazaki also did design work on Bayonetta. That's really cool, nice to see all sorts of talent working on Cipher cards.

I still strive to live up to my own deadlines when I can! Yeah, it does seem kind of odd that they wouldn't differentiate the attack value more across similar unit types, though I guess it could be a way of balancing each side Red and Blue against each other. Still, it would be nice to see some more variety in attack values in order to inspire more dynamic deck creation.

Here's the translation!

https://twitter.com/FEcipher/status/605712302977875968

"[Card Introduction] This Miriel card is one of the cards exclusive to the Awakening Starter Deck. There is also a holographic Miriel card in the starter deck as well*. As you might expect, Miriel's skills are all about management of the cards in your hand. (Illustrator: Saori Toyota) #FECipher"

*Translation note: I'm guessing he's coyly hinting at a Promoted Miriel card of some sort, we'll have to see exactly what he means by this.

I'm pretty sure that Maki Hakoda is a woman, so that second tweet should be Ms. Hakoda not Mr.

Other than that good work as always.

Thanks for the catch! I have since updated the posts.

The dyanimc of attack valus can't always be a nice thing in card game, because in this way card X > card Y, except when cards have amazing skills or peculiar skill, so you can just build a deck wich is based on your favourite character skill
