The current Tempest Trials event that started in Fire Emblem Heroes today is slightly different to the norm. “Ice & Flame 1” continues from where Book II left off, with Fjorm encountering Nifl, the God of Ice.
For those who haven’t played Book II or need a recap, the FE Heroes team has created a special video just for you!
As its name suggests, “Ice & Flame 1” is the first of a multi-part series; it will be continued in “Ice & Flame 2”, available after the 5.8.0 update, which should arrive some time in August.
Because the story is important, the cutscenes from the “Ice & Flame” series will be added to the Event Recap once each respective Tempest Trials is over, regardless of whether players saw them or not.
Please continue for some screenshots from “Ice & Flame 1”, including our first look at Nifl!
It may have been teased just yesterday, but we sure didn’t have to wait long for the full reveal of the upcoming bridal-season units for 2019. This year brings us our third batch of bridal darlings, and surprisingly, we have a few new faces!
Yes, new faces Tanith and Sigrun, from the Tellius series (Path of Radiance / Radiant Dawn), and Pent, from Elibe (Fire Emblem), join Fjorm‘s alt in the cast of the summonable quartet. With these new units, there are several new skills hitting the fray, including Fjorm’s Ground Orders 3, Tanith’s Harsh Command+, and Pent’s Pulse Smoke 3. Additionally, Fjorm’s weapon possibly introduces a new mechanic of skill simplification, with the [Isolation] ability.
For those familiar with Clarine and Klein already in the game (or from Fire Emblem: Binding Blade) Pent is their father, and his wife, Louise: Eternal Devotion (a Colorless Bow Cavalry), joins him as a Tempest Trials+ reward unit. They’re noted as being a pretty influential duo in their own game, as well as one of the only units that come with a pre-defined support rank, in the entire Fire Emblem franchise.
This batch of heroes will be available for summon on May 21 at 12a PT, and of course, they’ll come with a set of paralogue chapters that provide Summoners with precious Orbs with which to summon them with (or save, of course). They’ll be available for 30 days, so don’t fret if you can’t get them immediately.

With 2018 about to come to a close, it was only a matter of time until the 2019 New Year banner was announced. Dataminers may have already given us spoilers as for what was to come, but for the rest of the summoners out there, that aren’t following along, come check out the New Year’s of Fire and Ice Special Heroes banner that was just announced.
This year, Nifl and Muspell join forces in this unlikely celebration, giving us a summonable foursome in Fjorm, Gunnthra, Hrid and Laevateinn. Outside of the quartet, Laegjarn: New Experiences (a Blue Lance Cavalier) will be available as a Tempest Trials+ reward unit, in upcoming Tempest Trials+: An ALliance of Princesses (starting January 1). In total, the banner brings us new debuff-centric units and new skills in Hone Atk 4 and Joint Hone Spd.
Of course, this banner comes with a Paralogue series, so prepare for the standard batch of Orbs and likely, associated quests for more Orbs.
Beyond dealing with the incoming units in general battles, there is a Voting Gauntlet to prepare for. This voting gauntlet pits the 2018 vs the 2019 New Years units, in a fairly assorted batch that happens to include the Tempest Trials reward Corrin [M]. Will this mean that the batch of alts from last year will be available in a banner? Given the history of VGs, the answer is likely yes, so good luck (in advance) in scoring a New Year’s Camilla, Takumi or Azura for the Voting Gauntlet.
Finally, it looks like two new one-time purchase sales will be coming, bestowing to buyers a combination of 140 orbs, 10,000 Hero Feathers and the differentiating components of the two sales, either Fjorm: New Traditions and 400 Aether Stones or Laevatein: Kumade Warrior and 200 Heroic Grails. Each is available for $74.99, and only available for the month of January, 2019.
