Warriors: Upcoming Free DLC/Update for Japan

Update: The free DLC is coming to Europe, North America, etc. on the same day.

The Japanese Fire Emblem Warriors website has updated with news about a version 1.2.0 update arriving on 16th November 2017, as well as a free English voice pack (just like we got a free Japanese voice pack).

Whereas 1.1.0 merely added the ability to buy DLC and a few quality of life improvements, the new update will include new battles, costumes and gameplay features.

To begin with, there will be new costumes for Rowan and Lianna, pictured above, dubbed “Gold Prince” and “Gold Princess” respectively.

Next, a new and rather intriguing weapon attribute has been introduced, which we’ll tentatively call “Crushing Blow”. If equipped, attacks will trigger “Armour Break”, which removes the foe’s armour, revealing their… well, underwear.

So just like Sophie’s skill or the Raider weapons in Fates. Except Armour Break lowers the Defence and Resistance stat, so it actually has gameplay merit. The catch is that if you’re hit by a foe’s Strong attack, your character will get inflicted by Armour Break.

If that’s not enough, a new History Map “Heroic Arena” will be available to play. According to the description, it will focus on Rowan and Lianna as they battle against other heroes in the arena. Perhaps you’ll get their new costumes by completing it?

Finally, there will be some extra gameplay enhancements including the ability to sell multiple weapons at once(!), new blessings in the Temple and various bug fixes, etc.

Cipher S11 Weekly Recap: First Daily Reveals!

With Series 11 of Fire Emblem Cipher releasing in a month, daily reveals from @fecipher have started this past week! They began with some introductory cards for each portion of the set. We’ve previously seen the art for Eirika and Ephraim from The Sacred Stones and Rowan and Lianna from Fire Emblem Warriors, but now we get to see the cards in full.

We also get a lovely panorama of joined-art cards featuring Celica, Alm, and Valbar from Fire Emblem Echoes. The artwork for the card is based on the original Gaiden box art.

After the introductory cards, we got a few more foil cards from the set, including two Overclasses from Echoes. Harrier Faye will be released as an R card while Enchantress Delthea gets both an SR and an alternate art SR+! Presumably we’ll see a few more Overclasses in further cards in the set.

Finally, we also get to see the SR promoted cards for Eirika and Ephraim. They share with a beautiful joined art drawn by Sachiko Wada, the original FE8 artist. These cards also introduce the new “Twin Skills” mechanic that reflects their strong bond with each other.

Many more S11 cards were revealed during the Autumn Livesteam which aired this weekend. I’ll be posting a full breakdown of the livestream, including all the new cards and some exciting Cipher news, later this week.

Cipher Series 11 will release next month on 7 December! In the meantime, it’ll be an exciting month of news, reveals, and speculation. For further discussion about Cipher, feel free to join us in the Cipher subforum on the forums! You can also check out the Cipher Wiki for translations of the cards and more detailed information.

Serenes Forest Streams: Fire Emblem Warriors, 10/20 at 5p PST

As you may have already heard, Fire Emblem Warriors was released today to regions outside of Japan.

Our very own Jedi will be streaming the English version of Warriors on Nintendo Switch, as he has done with the Japanese one, later on today (October 20), at 5 pm PST. As his run of the Japanese version featured focus on Lianna, this time, he’ll focus on showcasing Rowan. It’ll be run a 60fps with 720p enabled, so prepare for a beautiful watch!

 

He’ll be doing a run with a couple of other Serenes Forest users, Lord Raven and MrStardustRicon. We recommend watching them all, as they’ll be playing in a shared communications channel, and if you’d like to do it all at once, use Twitch Multiwatch (I’ve already set up the link to feature all three when clicked).

If you want to give any pre-game comments or requests, give him a post on his thread. Otherwise, just hop on over to his individual channel or the MultiWatch posted above.
