Fire Emblem Heroes 6th anniversary is here. It’s amazing that this game is still going strong in 2023, 6 years after it was released on Feb 2, 2017. Let’s see what Intelligent Systems have in store for FEH players/summoners this year.
Free random 5 star Special Hero
Same as the last few years goodies, they insist on giving us a random 5 star hero. This company is so stubborn and doesn’t want to change their practice. Players have been giving them feedback year after year about how we dislike them. If they are going to give a 5 star hero as gift, let players choose. Players will be happy to be able to pick the heroes they like, rather than getting a random 5 star hero they don’t want or need. Fire Emblem Heroes is a game where players play with their favorite heroes. There are so many heroes to choose from, giving them 1 hero of their choice is not going to break the game. I really dislike this kind of treatment. I got a random 4 star special Bride Cecilia.
Quests and Gifts
How does it compare to last year gifts? Is it better than last year? I’d say more or less the same as before, slightly worse. We received 1 less orb, 1 less celestial stone, less dragon flowers, less coins. New gift this year are 1 ascended floret, mythic blessings, arena medals and crystals. We got more codes, refining stones and dews, fruits, aether stones and grails.
I think the most useless gifts they gave are crystals and arena medals. I don’t need them at all, already have to many of that in my inventory. I wish they give legendary blessings too.
6th anniversary Hero Fest
They gave 15 tickets for this year hero fest. I was not as lucky as Jeremy, only got Eitri and 4 star special fallen Berkut after spending all of the tickets and some orbs.
A hero rises event
Same as last year. This year, I’m hoping for all red hero rises event. We’ll have to wait and see.
Game Update
As usual, there’s game update too:
- Heroes pool update
More 5 star early gen heroes that drop to 4 star special pool. More 5 star special heroes that drop to 4 star special pool too. - Focus charge summon. Pity broken can happen up to 3 times, after that the next 5 star will be focus heroes. Then reset. This feature will be available on some banners for F2P. More banners for FEH pass users.
- Remix banners. There’ll be 2 remix banners running at the same time.
- Plus other usual game update: weapon refines, manuals, etc
In closing, just the usual anniversary. No huge controversies.
