Heroes: 9th Anniversary and CYL 10 Winners

Today marks the 9th anniversary of Fire Emblem Heroes!

9 years is no mean feat. Even most of Nintendo’s other mobile games struggled to survive even half as long.

To celebrate, there’s all kinds of events and rewards, which you can learn about from the red-bowtie-wearing Feh.

The biggest news is probably the winners of this year’s Choose Your Legends.

For the newly added Shadows Cup, the winners are Dimitri, Claude, Edelgard and Tsubusa & Caeda. More results here.

For the regular Choose Your Legends, the winners are Sylvain, Sigurd, Tsubasa & Caeda and Azura. More results here.

Unsurprisingly, the House Leaders are as popular as ever! A double congratulations to Tsubasa and Caeda for winning both the Shadows Cup and the regular CYL. I’d love to hear the phone calls between Nintendo and Atlus right now…

Sylvain performed well last year and this year he managed to surpass his rivals, Fomortiis and the Black Knight. Meanwhile, Sigurd and Azura were 3rd place winners last year, so they didn’t have much competition, although Ivy wasn’t that far behind (sorry, Engage fans).

Update: The 9th anniversary illustrations shown in the Feh Channel can also be viewed here.

Joe Zieja Three Houses 1st Anniversary Stream on 23rd July, 11 pm (UTC)

Calling all Fire Emblem voice actor fans! Joe Zieja–who provides the voice of the charismatic Claude von Riegan–will be hosting a special stream on 23rd July, at 11 pm (UTC) on his Twitch channel, to celebrate the upcoming one year anniversary of Three Houses.

Earlier, in the linked video, Joe shared details of what to look forward to during the anniversary celebration.

Firstly, between 25th and 26th July, there will be live signings by Joe himself, as well as Tara Platt (voice of Edelgard) and Chris Hackney (voice of Dimitri) via InstaGraph.

The prints used for the signings are of the house leaders’ timeskip designs, illustrated by @hellyonwhite. A neat touch is that the three prints can be joined together as one, similar to some Cipher artworks.

Secondly, the stream itself will kick-start Joe’s brand new playthrough of Three Houses, but this time after caving to peer pressure he’ll be teaching the Black Eagles.

Last and not least, Joe has collaborated with Family Jules to record a music video of “God Shattering Star”, the endgame track for the Golden Deer route. Fans will be able to enjoy a premiere on 23rd July, before the Black Eagles stream begins.

Heroes: Valter Returns + Celebratory Illustrations

To round off the new heroes from The Sacred Stones, Fire Emblem Heroes has brought back Valter’s Grand Hero Battle.

As with previous Grand Hero Battle repeats, there are additional quests for those who cleared all of the maps the first time. A breakdown of the quests can be found below.

Also, in case you missed them or you’re looking for higher resolution versions, all of the celebratory illustrations shown in the recent Feh Channel have been uploaded to the official website.

Fire Emblem Heroes 1st Anniversary is Here!

The Fire Emblem Heroes 1st Anniversary has arrived! Happy anniversary, Heroes!

Heroes has quite a lot in store for players as part of its anniversary celebration. Two parts of it will be immediately available as soon as you log-in: a one-time Anniversary Present of 50 Orbs and an Anniversary Log-In Bonus! The log-in bonus gives you an additional 2 Orbs each day for a total of 20 Orbs.

The third event gives you a place to potentially spend those Orbs, a new Hero Fest banner! This banner contains 5★ focus units for Sigurd, Nephenee, Brave Ike, and Brave Lyn. Even better, they have a 5% chance to appear!

The final two events are both a bit more long-lasting. The Double EXP & SP event lasts for one week, giving all of your heroes twice as much EXP and SP in battle! It will end on 9 February. We also get Daily Special Maps for 25 days! Each map rewards one Orb for both difficulties for a total of 50 Orbs. You have one week to play each map.

You may remember when you first began playing Heroes that there was a “Shards & Crystals” quest that rewarded players for completing various story chapters. Those quests were valid for one year, so they have now ended. Instead of being simply renewed or removed, these quests have been replaced with another yearly quest: Tutorial Quests.

Just like the original, these new Tutorial Quests reward you for completely various story chapters. You can also earn prizes for competing in the Arena and the Training Tower. The rewards have been updated to include additional prizes, such as new Sacred Seals, Stamina Potions, Badges, and even a couple Orbs! Check out the full list below.
