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.
