Patch notes:

■ Book VI of the main story begins
Starting 7/12/2021 7:00(UTC), Book VI of the main story will open.
As the Order of Heroes sets out to investigate a mysterious darkness plaguing a village in their homeland of Askr, they come across Princess Veronica, who reports a similar phenomenon happening in Embla. With the assistance of a new ally in the form of Ash, retainer to the Divine Dragon Askr, Prince Alfonse and the others work to track down their suspected source of the encroaching dark: the dragon Embla.
5★ Mythic Hero Ash: Retainer to Askr will join your barracks if you clear Part 5 of Chapter 1 of Book VI.
Be sure to watch the thrilling Book VI Opening Movie in which the powerful retainers to Askr and Embla clash! You can jump right into the story of Book VI even if you haven’t completed Books I through V.
And to celebrate the beginning of Book VI, starting 7/12/2021 7:00(UTC), we will be holding the Book VI Begins: Ash and More New Heroes summoning event and a Book VI Begins Celebration!
In this New Heroes summoning event, Ash: Retainer to Askr is available as a part of the 5★ focus category along with New Heroes from Fire Emblem Awakening.
Note: Because Ash: Retainer to Askr is a Mythic Hero, she does not appear in normal summoning events. The next time she is scheduled to appear in a summoning event is this month’s Legendary Hero summoning event.
You can make two copies of 5★ Hero Miriel: Rapier Intellect your ally by completing quests, and there will be Log-In Bonuses from which you can get Dragonflowers and more as part of the Book VI Begins celebratory events!

■ Summoner Duels, a synchronous PvP mode, was added
Summoner Duels, a new mode in which you can face off against summoners from around the world in synchronous one-on-one battles, has been added to the Coliseum!
Build a team using your Favored Heroes and dispatch them in Favor Battles. The Favor Level of the Hero you select as your team’s captain will increase, and you can earn Forma Souls, Dragonflowers, and more as rewards based on their level.
We introduced Favor Battles in the Feh Channel – Dec. 5, 2021 video by showing an actual Favor Battle in action.
We also released a video in which two armies led by Alfonse and Veronica clash titled Fire Emblem Heroes – Summoner Duels: Alfonse vs Veronica Play-by-Play. Be sure to give the hotly contested competition a watch!
Summoner Duels also features a Free Duel mode in which you can get matched up with specific players using passwords, and a Practice Duel mode where you can dip your toes in to test the waters of Summoner Duels. Give Summoner Duels a try and find the mode that’s best suited for you!
■ A new profile card feature has been implemented
Players can now create and show off their own profile cards!
You can use a profile card to display your Favored Heroes, Home Base, and more in addition to your name and ID to other players using the profile card feature. You can also view your friends’ profile cards in the Friend List menu.
