Summoning Focus: Weekly Revival 20 is now live in Fire Emblem Heroes. 5-star Heroes who appeared before the start of Book II appear as focus Heroes, and the focus lineup changes each week.

It’s also been announced that Forging Bonds: Common Virtues is starting on October 21. Players can forge bonds and gain friendship with Heroes such as Silque and Python from Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. If you grow close to all the event characters, you can unlock and view special conversations.


Forger has had a couple of big patches over the past few months. Specifically, the “Combat” and “Appreciate” updates add new areas, modes, features and more. Neither of these have been on Switch yet, but they’ll be released in due time.

Developer HopFrog said on Twitter this week that console updates are handled by another team. That being said, the “Combat” and “Appreciation” patches should be hitting “soon”.
