Princess of Renais. Ephraim’s twin. Cares dearly for her brother. Her kindness has sometimes put her in danger. Appears in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.

Fire Emblem Heroes: Reinhardt, Thunder’s Fist

Reinhardt is the fifth hero I upgraded to 5 stars.

Fire Emblem Heroes Review

Fire Emblem Heroes (FEH) – mobile game on iOS and Android – has been around since February 2017. It’s a spin-off game based on the Fire Emblem franchise. It’s a more simplified version of the traditional Fire Emblem games.

FEH is not as popular as Pokemon Go. Only 10 million+ combined downloads/installs on both platforms. It’s rather tiny when compared to more than 750 millions for Pokemon Go (source). It’s estimated about 500K active FEH users (based on Arena weekly play), while there are more than 5 million active pokemon go daily users.

Nintendo announced it’s financial statement results recently and it paints such a different results. Source: Bloomberg
