As an integral part of the celebrations for the second anniversary of Fire Emblem Heroes, a special new Summoning Focus is now live that allows a free five-star summon of one of the winners of the Find & Vote Heroes event.
This exclusive Focus is only set to last until March 4th, so players will want to hurry and claim their complimentary five-star Hero of the four available. However, it is being reported that the Hero selected by players is entirely random. These Heroes include Azura (Vallite Songstress), Myrrh (Spooky Monster), Duma (God of Strength), and Lyn (Lady of the Wind).
An image of the featured characters can be viewed above.
The 21st and latest Voting Gauntlet is set to go live in Fire Emblem Heroes later this week on February 28th, setting up a War of the Tacticians.
As expected, this will pit classic caharcaters of the series that have been considered “tacticians” up against eachother in a bracket format. As always, fans will have time to vote and support their favorite character across three rounds. The event is set to end by March 6th.
In preparation, two new Summoning Focuses featuring Heroes from the Voting Gauntlet are now live in sets titled War of the Tacticians A and War of the Tacticians B. Overall, these two sets include characters Katarina (Wayward One), Morgan (Lass from Afar), Lewyn (Guiding Breeze), Jagen (Veteran Knight), Cecilia (Etrurian General), Soren (Shrewd Strategist), and Innes (Regal Tactician). These sets will be live until March 6th as well.
Images of the two Summoning Focuses, as well as the Voting Gauntlet bracket are included below.
It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. This week, Dragon Quest XI S overthrows Animal Crossing as the most wanted Nintendo-related title.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between February 7 and February 13.

This week on NEP, we’re doing a special feature on just how much we adore Reggie Fils-Aimé: our favorite moments, how he helped define a new era of Nintendo and the games industry, and how he interacted with the fans on an intimate level. Plus, who is Doug Bowser and why are we looking forward to him? Then we go deep, DEEP into the Xbox Game Pass for Switch rumors by having a great discussion on the industry moving forward, how Microsoft is trying to have it evolve with this new tier of streaming and distribution, and the infrastructure they depend on.
