Heroes: Resplendent Takumi Rises in October & Awakening-themed Hall of Forms!

Like clockwork, the Fire Emblem Heroes team has shared details of the Resplendent Hero for the period after the current one.

After fading into obscurity from his reign of terror during the first months of the game, Takumi: Wild Card has risen from the grave, sporting attire that would make Hel proud (probably).

If you’re unafraid, you can learn more about this iteration of Takumi via the Feh Pass website. He’ll be available from 10th October 2020 (UTC), after the currently-available Resplendent Julia melts away into the snow.

In other news, a new round of Hall of Forms has started, featuring some big names from Awakening.

  • Cavalry Chrom
  • Brave Lucina
  • Fallen Robin
  • Walhart

The hall will be open until the daily rollover on 9th October. I think one of our editors is pretty excited about building the Forma Chrom…

Heroes: Lovely Gifts and Takumi & Hinoka BHB Banners Now Live

If you caught the trailer, or the Feh Channel, then you know that our Valentine’s themed banner, Lovely Gifts is live right now, featuring Duo Hero Alm + Celica, Rudolf, Conrad and Faye. You’ll also know that the Tempest Trials+, Romance Whirlwind, featuring reward unit Silque, is coming soon. If you need a refresher, you can see the skills owned by the summonable four-some here, and their stats over on Reddit, thanks to u/MrGengar123.

What you might not have been aware of, is that the next Bound Hero Battle Revival & Summoning Event this time features Takumi & Hinoka (plus Sakura), and is live right now.

Another thing you may not be is that there is that February’s Special Orb Promo is live, featuring 200 Aether Stones and 22 Orbs for $9.99. This is slightly different, as the prior Promos featured 21 Orbs. I personally think you’ll get more out of the FEH Pass, but I’m on a budget so I can only imagine being able to pick and choose between perks.

Good luck in your BHB and Lovely Gifts pulls, Summoners!

Fates: Takumi and Leo Fan Books Coming to Japan

Fire Emblem Fates has been out in Japan for 3 years and, regardless of the game’s reception, its characters are still proving to be extremely popular.

Case in point, from 31st August 2018, two separate fan books dedicated to Takumi and Leo–the two younger royal brothers–will be released in Japan, published by the Nintendo Dream editorial team.

(Note: The cover and contents are subject to change.)

For reference, Leo was the highest ranking male during Nintendo Japan’s official Fates popularity poll, while Takumi scored 3rd place. Meanwhile in the international Choose Your Legends Round 2, they placed 30th and 18th among all the series’s characters.

Back to the books themselves, each comes with a set of 6 B2 size posters. The posters are double-sided and can be combined to create one life-size poster! According to the Amazon listings (Takumi | Leo), each book includes 52 pages and retails for 1,998 Yen.

Because they are fan books, the editorial team is looking for fans to submit their content. Firstly, there are a pair of questionnaires for Takumi and Leo fans to answer. A rough translation will be provided below. Entries close halfway through 23rd July.

In addition, fans are encouraged to send their artwork. Artwork should be posted to the address above in the form of a postcard. The artwork itself can be horizontal or vertical. The deadline for submissions is 27th July, so fans will need to be pretty quick!

Hmm, would they ever do versions for the little sisters…?

Serenes Forest Talent Showcase | June-mmunity Fanartist Month – Day 3 (Geminids)

Our next stop during our month long celebration of artistic talent in the Fire Emblem community features the talented Geminids, all the way from Hawaii!

The sparkles and candy are absolutely darling!

Geminds has come up with quite a few charms, such as his Halloween themed Henry and Robin, New Years themed Leo and Takumi and adorable Elise.

When your cat endorses your charms, you know they’re fine.

You’ll find him posting quite actively on his Tumblr and Twitter, and his Tictail has all of the charms above up (and others) for grabs via pre-order. They’re only available until June 15, so if you want one, definitely think fast about it!

His Indonesian themed Awakening set is no longer available, but they give you a great idea as to just how cute his art can be.

If you’d like to show support for the community, pay them a visit at their respective Etsy, Twitter or otherwise listed pages above (anything bolded can be clicked). Give them a follow or a share, or pick one of their creations up for yourself if you’re able and interested.

If you want to have your work showcased on Serenes Forest, contact me (Elieson) on our forums and I’ll do my best to feature you and your talents. Bear in mind that June will feature more of a crafts lineup, while December will be our Draw-cember event, featuring talent more akin to drawings, paintings and the like.
