Fire Emblem Heroes update out now (version 6.4.0), patch notes

A new Fire Emblem Heroes update has gone live, with Nintendo and Intelligent Systems issuing version 6.4.0. There’s news pertaining to the Coliseum, Heroes Journey, updated lineup of Limited-Time Combat Manuals, new weapons to refine, Aether Raids, and Summoner Duels.

Below are the full patch notes for the Fire Emblem Heroes version 6.4.0 update:

■ The Coliseum is being updated

○ Arena Assault is being updated.

With the season starting 4/12/2022 12:00 p.m.(PT), Arena Assault will be renamed Arena Assault+ and will introduce the following changes.

The tactical retreat feature will be added to Arena Assault+. If you lose a battle or surrender during a chain of battles, the battle will be treated as a tactical retreat up to two times per chain. When a tactical retreat occurs, your chain of wins is not ended, and you can advance to the next battle with your score unchanged. If you reset your chain or start a new one from the beginning, your tactical retreats will once again be available for use. There is no limit to how many times you can use this feature per season.

Dragonflowers will be added to Arena Assault+ rank rewards. In addition to the existing lineup of rewards, you will be able to earn Dragonflowers based on your performance.

What’s more, a chain reward will be added that rewards you with Dragonflowers for your first win, your second win in a row, and your third win in a row each season.

The type of Dragonflowers available as rank rewards and chain rewards will change each season.

○ Arena Bonus Heroes are being updated.

With the season starting 4/19/2022 12:00 p.m.(PT), of the 10 Bonus Heroes who appear, certain currently available Bonus Heroes will be swapped out on a weekly basis.
