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.
The second summer surprise trailer dropped on us, just an hour before the end of the Headbands [Guys] vs Headbands [Gals] voting gauntlet ended. Mia won, and while that may not be have surprised some people, the people in the upcoming Summer Refreshes banner may surprise many.
Japanese trailer available here.
Yes, the second Summer Banner features units from Elibe, but they don’t all seem to be who fans expected them to be. Among the batch, includes Fire Emblem Binding Blade’s Wolt and Lilina, and Fire Emblem Blazing Sword’s Lyn and Ursula. We already have a Grand Hero Ursula available, so an alt of her is quite a surprise, while Wolt joins the likes of Charlotte and Noire in the Alt-sclusives Only pool.
Among the new skills featured in the upcoming banner, we have a handful of new inheritables, such as the inevitable Sabotage Def 3 (Lilina), as well as the upgrade Brazen Atk/Spd 4 (Wolt), and the brand new line of skills with the Ruse name, Def/Res Ruse 3 (Ursula). Among the already available skills, Arena lovers will enjoy another unit carrying the Rally Up Res+ skill (Lilina) , as well as Sturdy Impact making its return on a unit other than Tibarn (Lyn).
One interesting post is that in both the Japanese and English trailers, Wolt’s bow lists 14 Mt and 1 Rng, which is atypical of inheritable bows, nonetheless bows in general (The only inheritable bow with more than 12 Mt is the Silver Bow, running 13 Mt). No update on it has been announced yet, but I have a feeling that a correction will come with the banner’s official drop.
UPDATE: Wolt’s Big-Catch Bow+ is confirmed to only have 12 Mt and is a Range 2 weapon, as expected.
To add more excitement, the next upcoming free unit, as a Tempest Trials+ reward unit, is Fire Emblem Blazing Sword’s very own Fiora, Defrosted Ilian, a Red Sword Flier.
This banner will run from July 9 until August 9. If you’re excited for this batch of units, keep your excitement going, as we’re also due to receive a Three Houses themed banner soon, with the release of the game. Orb management might be hard, but I believe in you, Summoners!
Finally, the fifthRevival Banner is up, featuring Mist: Helpful Sister, Ike: Young Mercenary and Ike: Brave Mercenary . Remember, that these Revival banners have a 4% focus rate on the featured heroes for a 5* summon.
FE_Heroes_JP has the Heroes community in a frenzy once again, as they just recently posted a teaser image for their incoming Halloween Banner. The tweet promises a Login bonus, as well as the banner itself, to hit the tables on Monday, October 30.
Additionally, Ursula: Blue Crow has returned, bringing with her an Infernal map, and some new quests have come with her.

In particular, conquering Infernal Lv. 40+ Ursula: Blue Crow nets you 2,000 feathers and a 4 ★ Ursula. Beating the Hard or Lunatic maps grant you a 3 ★ or 4 ★ Ursula, respectively. If you prefer just to give the quests a go, you can:
Defeat Grand Hero Battle’s Ursula: Blue Crow with Sharena on your team [1 Orb]
Defeat Grand Hero Battle’s Ursula: Blue Crow on Lunatic or Infernal difficulties with Ursula on your team [1 Orb]
Use Sharena to defeat any Lv. 40+ Ursula [1 Orb]
Use Ursula to defeat any Lv. 40+ Ursula [3 ★ Ursula]
If you’re in a bind, you can always turn to Chapter 9-3’s Lunatic map, which contains a Lv. 40 Ursula for 20 stamina, or hataP – Static Is Scary‘s Normal map for 5 stamina, to complete the latter two quests.
Fans have been anticipating a certain Blue-tome user on a horse for quite some time, and with today’s latest Grand Hero Battle now available, we now have what we anticipated.
Ursula, from Fire Emblem (The Blazing Sword) can now be challenged in her Grand Hero Battle, and this time, recruited as a Three-star and Four-star unit! She’ll be available for roughly 70 hours, but her missions have her requirements set to Level 40 Five-Star Lunatic difficulty, so don’t dawdle if you want to recruit her!
Additionally, the new Banner, Battling Ursula, is now available, featuring Effie, Nino, Setsuna and Felicia as the Focus units. While none of these are new, Nino is quite the powerhouse and Effie can help complete some March missions for those struggling to get past Armor-based tasks.
