Not at all refreshing

When the last summer banner came out, I was convinced it was the only one we'd see this year. That 50-day period was incredibly deceiving, because here we are staring down a Binding/Blazing Blade summer banner. Featuring our sixth variant of Lyndis. Sigh. Let's break my anti-Summer Initiative for the second time this week and talk …

Summer returns in Fire Emblem Heroes

Hard to believe it has been two years since I joked about using Fire Emblem Heroes as a surrogate for not going to the beach despite living in Southern California. Even harder to believe I still don't go to the beach nearly as often as I should. But at least Fire Emblem is still here …

Heroes be damned

I'm going to keep this intro brief because the banner is pretty exciting. Just so you know, this is the first time I'm going to try culling my word count by pivoting away from self-generated skill sets to showing off the official video. It'll be a little less fun for me personally, but it should …

Fire Emblem Heroes goes full beast mode

I've said before that the Radiant games are an unfortunate blank spot in my experience with Fire Emblem. When I found out beast units were finally on their way and that they would be from this particular universe, I was a little hesitant about whether I'd want them over some potential other options like Kaden …

‘The Jonathan Banner’: Shapeshifters and Aching Blood

Nothing like the smell of a fresh Fire Emblem Heroes banner in the morning. This Brave Redux banner, essentially a rehash of the Farfetched Units idea from last year, immediately holds a very special place in my heart. Because it is quite literally the definition of a 'cuck my friend Jonathan' banner. For years he …

Seeping with Content: New Genealogy Units and Version 2.9.0

Once in a while, Intelligent Systems likes to coincide a new character banner with an update to the game. This week was one of those weeks where that happened. So I figured instead of stretching this out over a two-day period, I would just put it all together and make one more substantial Friday post. …

Arrival of the Brave 2: Electric Boogaloo

When Fire Emblem Heroes first came out, the biggest draw to the game was the fact that characters from every game in the series would be available in one place. To prove their commitment to that ideal, Intelligent Systems posed a contest. Everyone who enjoyed Fire Emblem could vote on their favorite heroes from any …

Heroes Awakens the Beast within

Last night, Feh Channel gave us a decent look at what's to come in our favorite mobile gotcha game soon enough. August is going to be full of opportunities to get free orbs for summoning and a collection of skill-based banners from 2017 will be returning for one day rotations — with a free summon …

Sketchy Summer, had me a Blast

Out of all the bizarre banner names we've gotten throughout the history of Fire Emblem Heroes, 'Sketchy Summer' is probably the funniest to me. Even more than the strange 'Farfetched Heroes' banner we got a while back with Lute and Mia. Mostly because it brings Alyson to mind. Dad and I always like to joke …

The Fire Emblem Heroes Sacred Summer – Interrupted!

This is arguably the most... Bizarre banner we've seen in Fire Emblem Heroes. Possibly ever, in my opinion. When the banner's silhouette was first teased out, much of the internet was quick to pick up on the fact that Tana and Innes appeared to be the featured heroes. https://twitter.com/rFireEmblemHero/status/1008914479034392576 After last year's two summer banners …
