Fire Emblem Heroes Marks 8th Anniversary with Free Summons, QOL Enhancements

Nintendo continues to captivate its dedicated fanbase with its flagship franchises, and Fire Emblem Heroes is a prime example. Now celebrating its 8th year—a remarkable achievement in the mobile gaming world, especially amidst numerous unexpected shutdowns—the strategy RPG is rolling out special quests and a free summoning event to mark the occasion.

For gacha enthusiasts, this is fantastic news, as the summoning pool will feature 5-Star Special Heroes as part of the 8th Anniversary Celebration. The Binding Worlds events are also getting an upgrade, allowing you to ally with two Heroes at once. Meanwhile, the Hall of Forms will now offer three skills of each type in its highest chamber, enhancing your strategic options.

In the Arena and Arena Assault+, you can now use the tactical retreat feature up to three times, giving you more flexibility in battle. And for those who missed out on certain heroes, the Legendary Revival 1 event brings back Past Legendary Heroes as 5-star Focus Heroes. If you summon 40 times or more, you'll have the chance to select one of these 5-star Focus Heroes for free.

The Ver. 9.2.0 update brings a host of other exciting additions, which you can explore in the official patch notes. For those looking to optimize their gameplay, we've also prepared a comprehensive tier list and reroll guide.
