Fire Emblem Heroes added in the Grand Hero Battle earlier today, providing players with a chance to win over Robin as an alley. Take a look at some footage below.

Pokemon Duel’s next event has started. The Fighting Gym Cup will last until March 2nd – for the duration of this event, all Fighting types with 1 or 2 movement get an additional 1 movement, and all Psychic-type white and gold attacks get an Attack increase of +20. Getting win streaks during this event will net you Gym Boosters which contain new figures like Dragonair and Deoxys’ Normal Forme.

Fire Emblem Heroes’ second Grand Hero Battle has just gone live, but we may already know something about the third one.

Reddit user lighto13 stumbled upon the following: if you tap on “More” on the notification for Robin’s Grand Hero Battle, you get a primer about Grand Hero Battles in general and some more info about Robin specifically, such as her skills as a 5-star unit. At the bottom, there’s this blurb:

When at 5-stars, this Hero can access her greatest powers as a magician and can learn to wield Gronnwolf+, which is es effective against mounted units. It’s also rumored that she could be very helpful for the next Grand Hero Battle. That is, if you can maker her your ally and level her up in time…

Given that Gronnwolf+, an anti-cavalry skill, is specifically mentioned just before the line about the next Grand Hero Battle, it seems pretty likely that the next event will feature a cavalry unit – which one, though? Both characters featured in the Grand Hero Battles so far, Narcian and Female Robin, have one thing in common: they are both currently in the game as enemies in story missions, but can’t be summoned as playable characters through the game’s gacha system. There are actually a couple more characters to which this applies – and some of them are cavaliers as well.

We can likely rule out ???, the masked man seen in the game’s story and one of Fire Emblem Heroes’ original characters. That leaves us with three possible choices – Camus, a Blue lance user, Ursula, a Blue tome user and Xander, a Red sword user. Female Robin, being a Green tome user, would also have the weapon triangle advantage over Camus and Ursula, and her Tomebreaker ability would give her an even bigger edge over Ursula.

So there you have it – Camus and Ursula seem like the most likely suspects for the next Grand Hero Battle, though Xander is also a possibility. Of course, Intelligent Systems could surprise us and use someone that’s not currently in the game, but we feel pretty confident that it will be one of these three characters.

Fire Emblem Heroes latest update brings a new Grand Hero Battle and a Summoning Focus. The Grand Hero Battle is against the female version of Robin. The Tactician has two maps. The Normal version costs 10 Stamina, is a Level 25 challenge, and will reward a two-star Robin if completed. The hard version costs 15 Stamina, is a Level 35 challenge, and will reward a three-star Robin. Both maps require all of your units to survive in order to complete. There are screenshots of the battle below.

There is also a new Summoning Focus, Battling Robin, giving a higher chance of rolling certain five-star Heroes. These are Fir, Tiki (Naga’s Voice version), Hawkeye, and Maria. Both this Focus and the Grand Hero Battle will run until February 27 at 2 AM (EST).

Nintendo has given Super Mario Run another small update. As of today, version 1.1.2 is available. Nintendo says that the patch simply implements bug fixes.

Fire Emblem Heroes’ Arena mode grants bonus points to players for using select heroes, and those characters have now changed. The new bonus heroes are Eirika, Ephraim, Seliph, Julia, Narcian, Odin, and Catria.

After releasing the second generation of Pokemon into the wild for players to capture, Pokemon GO has reclaimed its position as the highest grossing iPhone game in the App store. In the Google Play store, Pokemon GO is third on the same chart, right behind mobile game titans Game of War and Mobile Strike. 

While Pokemon GO making huge amounts of money may seem like a familiar story, prior to the most recent content update Pokemon GO was in the bottom 10 for highest grossing games in both the App store and the Google Play store, and hasn’t been in the number one position since January 4th. Furthermore, the recent Valentines Day event only got the game as far as number eight in the list of top grossing games.

It seems that Pokemon GO could have an extremely long reign as the biggest name on the App store if the response to these content updates are anything to go by. Considering that only 251 of the 800+ Pokemon that exist so far are represented in Pokemon GO at the moment, it’s safe to assume that this game will be a dominating force in the mobile market for a while.
