Fire Emblem Heroes

A new skill-based Summoning Focus is now available in Fire Emblem Heroes. As the name implies, “Heroes with Ignis” puts the focus on Heroes who have the Ignis special skill. The 5-star focus units are Hector: Brave Warrior, Thea: Stormy Flier and Leon: True of Heart. This Summoning Focus will be available until July 15.

Also, since it’s Thursday, Tactics Drills has been updated. The new map “To Create the Future Past” can be found in the Grandmaster section; clearing it gets you 300 feathers.

Intelligent Systems announced a collaboration between Fire Emblem Heroes and Fire Emblem: Three Houses today. If you buy a copy of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, you get a version of the game’s (male) main character Byleth to use in Fire Emblem Heroes. To do so, the Nintendo Account you purchase Fire Emblem: Three Houses with must be the same one linked to your Fire Emblem Heroes game. You must then earn Gold Points with your copy of Three Houses (if you buy the game digitally, this is done automatically; if you own a physical version, this can be done via the game’s options menu on the Switch home screen). Following July 26, this version of Byleth (called Byleth: Tested Professor) will then be distributed in Heroes.

This promotion will run for a full year, until June 29, 2020. Also, this version of Byleth won’t be exclusive to this promotion as he will also appear in a Summoning Focus in late July.

The previously announced Headband Brawl Voting Gauntlet is now live in Fire Emblem Heroes. As a reminder, here are the first-round matchups:

  • Jeorge vs Gray
  • Barst vs Tibarn
  • Sue vs Mia
  • Sanaki vs Olivia

Also, since it’s the start of a new month, new sets of quests for July have gone live. As per usual, they require you to defeat a variety of enemies, clear specific chapters, use specific characters and clear Training Tower stages to earn rewards.

Summoning Focus: Weekly Revival 4 is now live in Fire Emblem Heroes. 5-star Heroes who appeared before the start of Book II are now available as focus Heroes. Additionally, 5-star focus Heroes have an initial appearance of 4 percent.

Fire Emblem Heroes will be hosting Summoning Focus: Weekly Revival 4 until July 7.
