Fire Emblem Heroes – Reaching Arena Tier 21

Since I made it to tier 21 in the Aether Raids mode a few months ago, I decided to set a new goal: tier 21 in Arena mode.

Weary of Gacha

I’m getting tired of the Fire Emblem Heroes game. It’s not because the game is not good. It’s actually a very good game. The strategy, the characters, the mechanics are good.
