Keeping with the desert theme of recent years, various Heroes are dressed in attire suited for the sorcerous nation of Khadein from Marth’s games.
The featured Heroes are: Nino, Ursula, male Byleth (available via the 4-star focus) and Harmonic Linde with Sara.
In addition, Soren (blue tome) will be the reward from the upcoming Tempest Trials+ event.
By the way, during previous years, there has always been a New Heroes banner between the New Year’s banner and the next year’s first Special Heroes banner. The common theory is that they swapped 2023’s first New Heroes banner to align with the release of Fire Emblem Engage.
From 7th September 2022, Special Heroes attending a Flame Tribe festival will be available in the “Bite of Flame” summoning event.
Note: You can check out the Japanese version of this trailer here.
The featured Heroes are Lyn (Blazing Blade), Múspell (Heroes), Rinkah (Fates) and Harmonized Tana and Peony (Heroes x The Sacred Stones).
In addition, Mordecai will be available from the Tempest Trials+ event, which begins at the same time. He’s a Green Beast Infantry with the following skills:
Weapon: Fiery Fang – Grants Def+3. At start of combat, if unit’s HP >= 25%, grants Atk/Def+6 to unit during combat, inflicts penalty on foe’s Atk/Def during combat = 20% of unit’s Def at start of combat, and foe cannot make a follow-up attack. At start of turn, if unit is adjacent to only beast or dragon allies or if unit is not adjacent to any ally, unit transforms (otherwise, unit reverts). If unit transforms, grants Atk+2, deals +7 damage when Special triggers, and neutralizes effects that grants “Special cooldown charge +X” to foe or inflict “Special cooldown charge -X” on unit. This skill can only be equipped by its original unit. Assist: Smite A: Fort. Def/Res 2 C: Atk/Def Gap 3
Furthermore, you can obtain the Spd/Def Form 1 and Spd/Res Oath 1 Sacred Seals.
