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

Nintendo's knack for maintaining fan loyalty shines through with their flagship franchises, and Fire Emblem Heroes is a prime example. Now in its remarkable 8th year in the mobile gaming world—a testament to its staying power amidst a sea of game closures—the strategy RPG is pulling out all the stops for its anniversary. Fans can dive into special quests and enjoy a free summoning event, a dream come true for any gacha enthusiast.

As part of the 8th Anniversary Celebration, the summoning pool will feature coveted 5-Star Special Heroes. The Binding Worlds events have been enhanced, now allowing you to ally with two Heroes at once. Meanwhile, in the Hall of Forms, the highest chamber will boast three skills of each type, giving you more strategic options than ever before.

For those engaged in fierce battles, the tactical retreat feature in the Arena and Arena Assault+ can now be used up to three times, offering more flexibility in your combat strategy. And if you missed out on heroes in the past, don't worry—the Legendary Revival 1 event is bringing back Past Legendary Heroes as 5-star Focus Heroes. Keep summoning and reach 40 times or more, and you'll have the chance to select one of these 5-star Focus Heroes for free.

The Ver. 9.2.0 update packs a plethora of additional features, detailed in the official patch notes. If you're looking for guidance, our tier list and reroll guide are here to help you strategize effectively.
