Eliwood rides again

We already have a Legendary alt for Lyndis and Hector, so it only makes sense that we'd be filling out the Blazing Blade's lordly roster with the father of the Lion: It's Eliwood's time to shine. Eliwood — Blazing Knight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M9OV5ZPgYE I rolled my eyes when first watching this video. "ANOTHER Legendary sword cavalier?" I …

Fire Emblem: Days of Future Past

Within a few days, Intelligent Systems announced the 3.6.0 Update to Fire Emblem Heroes — which includes "revival banners" for discontinued 5 Star heroes — and this Awakening child unit banner. Considering the 2019 summer-themed heroes are right around the corner, I have come to the conclusion that the developers just desperately want our wallets. …

She’s Mythic and divine

In Fire Emblem, some of Humanity's greatest heroes wield a legendary weapon known as the Falchion that is imbued with the power to cut through dark forces and the dragons who often wreck havoc. Alm, the Saint-King of Valentia, bore Falchion when he struck down a being of pure chaotic power. Marth, the Hero-King of Archanea, …

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 …

Alm finally gets an alt

Fire Emblem Heroes characters are showing up in another mobile game: Dragalia Lost. It seems to be a relatively big deal. Big enough that news organizations like Kotaku are covering the crossover event. For my money, the Awakening-inspired cover art is pretty amazing. But I can't say much more about Dragalia Lost. I've never played the game, …

A mid-April snack

Intelligent Systems definitely lined up weird banners for 2019, didn't they? First we got hot springs units. Now we get picnic units. The whole idea feels a lot like a springtime gimmick, which is unusual considering we've gotten our spring banner this year. But I do like this aesthetic over Playboy bunnies. So these units can't …

Chaos in flight in Fire Emblem Heroes

In times long abandoned, the Goddess of Dawn split her being in twine. She feared her strength after nearly flooding the planet to prevent war between her creations. Out of that split came a Goddess of Chaos, the manifestation of shed emotions, and a Goddess of Order, who believed life could only be perfect if …

Succumb to the rabbit lore

The fact that we're seeing our third Spring banner gave me an existential crisis. I felt like the banner with Sharena and Alfonse just appeared, but it was 13 Paralogues ago. Not sure what happened over the last year, but I don't think I'm down for this whole passage of time thing. It's starting to …

A Heroes post bound by obligation. And darkness.

Alright, I put off writing this introduction because I have had no idea what to say for the Beyond Darkness banner. But it's 1:30 a.m. or so and I just need to come up with something. So here's my something: Star Trek: Into Beyond Darkness. ... Let's talk about some Binding Blade. Lugh — Anima …
