Nintendo and Intelligent Systems have announced a new update for Fire Emblem Heroes. In February, new weapon skills will be added to a group of existing Heroes and will allow more weapons to be refined in the Weapon Refinery.

Below are the full details:

Fire Emblem Heroes has continued to received content updates, including a Lyon Grand Hero Battle and more summons. Check out the latest gameplay below.

The second round of the Choose Your Legends vote for Fire Emblem Heroes is currently underway. We’re halfway through the voting period (it ends on January 29th) and Intelligent Systems decided to publish the current standings of the vote.

The previous winners (Ike, Roy, Lyn and Lucina) are exluded from this vote. Naturally, those who placed high in the first round of the vote but didn’t quite win are doing well in this round, such as Camilla, Eirika, Hector or Marth. The recent release of Fire Emblem Echoes definitely help boost the popularity of some of its characters – Celica is leading the female vote and Alm is ranked fourth in the male vote. Another trend are some of the original Heroes characters that aren’t available to players yet, such as Veronica and Loki. Finally, characters that Heroes made popular because of their usefulness in-game are also doing well in the vote, with the obvious example being Reinhardt who is currently in fifth place. In the first Choose Your Legends vote, he ended up in 584th place.

Head past the break for images of the current male and female standings.

The newest Grand Hero Battle has just gone live and features Lyon. This includes three difficulties: hard, lunatic and infernal.
