Ready the troops for battle. The Fire Emblem Heroes game* is embarking into new territory – player-vs.-player Summoner Duels! Along with the launch of Book VI, the next chapter in the Fire Emblem Heroes smartphone saga, today, on Dec. 6 at 11 p.m. PT, you’ll be able to face off against friends or players globally in a range of newly added competitive play modes. You can even earn in-game rewards for your daring skirmishes!
For those who enjoy the strategic single-player excitement of Fire Emblem Heroes, you’ll also want to dive into the rich new story and discover why Veronica has returned in Book VI. If you’re new to the game, never fear! You’ll be able to easily jump right into the story of Book VI or the player-vs.-player battles. Check out some of the drama that Book VI has to offer with this new cinematic trailer: https://youtu.be/Ei0NJ1LbSpQ.
Summoner Duels, the new player-vs.-player mode, can be accessed in the Coliseum. There are a few different fun ways to battle. This mode lets you add five Heroes to your team with battles lasting five turns. If you defeat all of your opponent’s Heroes, or if your score is higher than your opponent’s at the end of the fifth turn, you win! In Favor Battles, your captain’s Favor Level increases based on the score you earned, granting you rewards as their level increases. Even if you lose, you’ll always have something to work toward. Fortune favors the bold, so give it your best shot!
Beyond Favor Battles, you can also take part in Free Duels and Practice Duels. Practice Duels allow you to check your team’s synergy and familiarize yourself with maps while playing against an AI opponent. In Free Duels, you can battle with other summoners you know by sharing a password. Use this mode to battle with your friends online!
New Fire Emblem Heroes features with this latest update you won’t want to miss out on:
- Ash, the new protagonist appearing in Book VI and retainer to the Divine Dragon Askr, will join your barracks as a Mythic Hero if you clear Chapter 1 of Book VI on normal difficulty.
- To celebrate the start of Book VI, everyone who plays the game will also be given a new castle theme based on the Emblian Empire.
