Two more summoning events have started up today in Fire Emblem Heroes.

First up is Summoning Focus: Heroes with Desperation. A trio of Heroes with Desperation skills are available as part of a 5-star summoning focus. Such characters can make a follow-up attack before their foe can counterattack if their HP is under a certain percentage and they initiate combat.

Summoning Focus: Weekly Revival 13 is also live. 5-star Heroes who appeared before the start of Book II are present, and the focus lineup changes each week.
