Alear and Fire Emblem Engage Characters from Firene Join FE Heroes

The first Fire Emblem Engage characters are about to appear in FE Heroes, bringing Alear and three folks from Firene to the game. Of the four, Alfred will be a Rearmed unit. As such, he won’t be added to the general pool of characters after the banner runs. However, the female version of Alear, Celine, and Chloe will. It will show up in-game on January 17, 2023. Etie will also be a login bonus, while Queen Lumera will appear as a Grand Hero Battle.

Alfred is a cavalry unit bearing the Rearmed weapon Arcane Qiang. As such, someone can have another ally inherit that weapon without losing Alfred. His sister Celine is an infantry unit with a green tome. Chloe, Celine’s retainer, is a flying unit with a lance. Finally, Alear is an infantry unit with the sword Liberation. All four are only available as five-star units.

Here is the full Fire Emblem Heroes banner looking at the four Engage heroes. People can spark up to two times on this banner. So after 40 pulls, then after 80 pulls, people will be able to select one of the four focus heroes. (The second time, you will only be able to pick from among the three you didn’t take.)

The official Twitter account also noted that Celine’s Joyous Tome’s ability isn’t working completely as intended. It is supposed to heal the unit and allies for 7 HP if they are within three spaces of her.

Fire Emblem Heroes is available for Android and Apple iOS devices. The first Engage characters banner will appear January 17, 2023. Fire Emblem Engage will come to the Nintendo Switch on January 20, 2023.
