From Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, siblings from different fathers return in Special Maps for Bound Hero Battle: Seliph & Julia. This also makes these heroes the focus of Day 12’s featured Heroes from Bound Hero Battle: Seliph & Julia. Your first summon in the corresponding banner for this event is orb-free.

Lastly, Mjölnir’s Strike: Counter phase is now active. Use your Counter Arrows wisely — save them for the latter half, or use the Weaker Bonus to triple your power. Players who didn’t participate in the Shield phase can still join in.

An update to the game’s Nintendo eShop listing has removed the reference to in-game purchases. Earlier in the week, the inclusion of this verbiage caused some alarm among the game’s many fans.

This is what the icon for the rating had included until recently. You can see the updated rating on the Switch eShop or on Nintendo’s website.
