The Nintendo Treehouse Log updated with a new entry. This time around, the focus is on Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia and specifically combat in the game.

The post explains the mechanics of battles and how they stack up to previous Fire Emblem games. Some concept art is also included, attached below. You can read the full post here.

Ursula’s is the next Grand Hero Battle to make a return in Fire Emble Heroes. If you missed her the first time around, you will get a second chance starting tomorrow. You can also get additional copies of Ursula if you complete some special quests that will also be available during this Grand Hero Battle.

The World of Radiance quests added a while ago to Fire Emblem Heroes added a new victory condition: having to stay alive for a certain number of turns while fighting off reinforcements. Today, several special maps featuring that theme have been added to the game. A total of five maps with two difficulty modes each are now available; beating them nets you one orb the first time you clear each map.

Special quests centered around those maps have also been added. The maps and quests will be available until May 25th.

Fire Emblem Heroes updated with new content today. Nintendo and Intelligent Systems introduced a new EXP 1.5 event, Summoning Focuses, and “Battle of the Mages” Voting Gauntlet.

First, all players can earn 1.5 times the experience right now up until the early morning of May 15. This applies to battles in Story Maps, Training Tower, Special Maps, and the Arena. Just keep in mind that there is a limit as to how much experience can be earned in a single battle.

Fire Emblem Heroes has received a new update. On both iOS and Android, players can now download version 1.3.0.

Fire Emblem Heroes makes key changes to the tier system in the Arena while also adding new maps. The Training Tower’s difficulty has been adjusted as well on top of bug fixes.

This only tells a part of the picture. We have a ton of specifics about the update in the gallery below and some additional news pertaining to the Voting Gauntlet and more.

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia is just a little ways off from making its debut in the west. That means the full site is now open, and you can access it here.

Probably the most noteworthy section of the site is the DLC page. It has information about the individual pieces of content included in the upcoming DLC packs.
