A summoning focus with Celica, Mae, Boey and Genny as the 5-star focus units will be available until May 30th. In addition to that, chapter 11 of the main story, Rite of Shadows, has been added, as well as quests that require you to complete these missions under special conditions.

The latest live stream for the Fire Emblem 0 (Cipher) trading card game was held today. Arguably the biggest piece of news was the announcement of series 11. The Sacred Stones will finally be featured in addition to Fire Emblem Warriors. More cards from Shadows of Valentia will be included, too.

Also during the live stream, fans were treated to a sneak peek of sorts for the Fire Emblem 0 collaboration DLC in Shadows of Valentia. In-game models for Shade, Emma, Yuzu, and Yuzu were shown.

Kirie from Serenes Forest captured a ton of different images from the live stream, posted below. Along with what we already mentioned, there was talk and cards shown for series 10 and more.

This past week, Fire Emblem Heroes added in a new update. Nintendo and Intelligent Systems are now distributing version 1.3.0 for the game.

Per usual, fans have been picking apart the latest update in hopes of finding out about any potential secrets. The big highlight appears to be the inclusion of a boat map. There are also new terrain maps featured in the recent Fire Emblem Heroes live stream. Speaking of the live stream, fans have located a new special map banner which depicts the same scenery as in that stream.

Other tidbits: Narcian is returning, a new tutorial image shows how to take advantage of terrain, a new debuff may be coming, the new maps are listed as Z11-Z20 while the others are V21-25, and new Starter Support maps could be on the way.
