Fire Emblem Heroes celebrates 8th anniversary with free summons, nifty QOL improvements and more

Nintendo continues to captivate loyal fans with their flagship franchises, and Fire Emblem Heroes is a shining example. Celebrating its 8th year—a remarkable achievement in the often volatile mobile gaming market—the strategy RPG is rolling out special quests and a free summoning event as part of its anniversary festivities. This is great news for gacha enthusiasts, as the summoning pool will feature exclusive 5-Star Special Heroes.

The Binding Worlds events are 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. The tactical retreat feature has also been expanded, allowing up to three uses during battles in the Arena and Arena Assault+.

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 opportunity to choose one of these 5-star Focus Heroes for free.

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