Nintendo’s mobile hit Fire Emblem Heroes is receiving a huge update today that’s sure to impress those who are playing the game. The update will also hopefully draw in new players. Here’s a few highlights regarding what to expect from the mobile title.
- Season 2 (“Book 2”) of the storyline is starting. You get a free 5 star character as part of it.
- There’s a new CG trailer for it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBVTbzChs6I
- Main Story and Paralogue quests will now only cost 10 stamina at most.
- There’s a new weapon refinery feature to improve weapons. Most just gain stats, but some gain new abilities.
- For example, Ephraim’s Seigmund gets “Unit Makes a guaranteed follow-up attack when HP is greater than or equal to 90% and attacking a foe that can counter”
- Healers are all getting new abilities at 5 stars. For example, Sakura has gained “Fear+ (Mt:12, Rng: 2 – “After Combat, inflicts Atk-7 on Target and foes within 2 spaces of target through their next actions)” and “Physic+ (Rng: 2 – Restores HP = 50% of Atk. Minimum of 8 HP)”
- Other examples include Absorb +, Fear +, Slow+ Gravity+, Pain+, Panic+, Candlelight+, Physic+, Recover+, Martyr+, and Rehabilitate+.
- There will be a new Choose Your Legend banner. This was the character vote if you don’t remember.
- There will also be a new banner with a 8% 5 star pull rate for banner units, and a 0% for non-banner 5 star units, so your pull rate doesn’t get reset by random other units.
- The skills in this image have had their cooldowns reduced.
- The unit barracks now has 100 additional slots.
- There was also just the regular new banner and Tempest Trial announced.

Ok cool but personally I’m hoping for a Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance remake for the switch! Probably won’t happen but I’d buy that in a heart beat if they did something like that.
I’m hoping for a remake of Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade since Roy’s game never had a release outside of Japan.
So when is the book 2 update coming? The video make sure it seem like it’s out now 🤔
Longest and most money spent on a mobile game for me, and does not look like I’m going to stop it any time soon.
