Fire Emblem Heroes: New heroes teased for December 18th
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in Mobile, News | 21 Comments
The Fire Emblem Heroes Twitter account has posted the image above, teasing two of the new heroes that will be available in a summoning focus starting next Monday, December 18th. A new log-in bonus will also start that day.
Judging by these silhouettes, it seems likely that these two characters are Lissa and Chrom. Given the timing, it seems likely that these will be Christmas-themed versions of them, and that they will appear alongside their fellow Awakening characters Robin and Tharja since Christmas-themed versions of them were found in the game’s files back when the game launched.

Posted on 7 years ago by Andrew in Mobile, News | 1 Comment
A new summoning focus and Bound Hero Battle are now available in Fire Emblem Heroes. The summoning focus is called “Amelia and Tana’s Battle” and it features 5 star versions of Eirika, Tana, and Amelia.
The new Bound Hero Battle event is also tied in with this new summoning focus and you will be battling against Amelia and Tana in 3 difficulty levels (Hard, Lunatic, Infernal). Clearing each map can score you some orbs to collect.
This summoning focus & Bound Hero Battle will only be available until November 24th.
Finally in order to celebrate the release of the first DLC Pack for Fire Emblem Warriors, the set of Special Maps based on that game are back for a limited time. Just like last time, you can earn Orbs by clearing those maps, but you can not if you already cleared them during the first run. The maps will be available until January 14th.
