Fire Emblem Heroes – Feh Channel 7: Summoning Focus
First, we have a new Summoning Focus: Ylissean Travelers. It goes live later today, and as the name implies, it includes Heroes from Fire Emblem Awakening. We have a separate post for it, but here’s the list of Heroes including in this Summoning Focus:
- Libra: Fetching Fiar
- Maribelle: Dire Damsel
- Sumia: Maid of Flowers
- Olivia: Sky-High Dancer
But that’s not all: on July 29th, a new Grand Hero Battle will go live. It features Walhart: The Conqueror. More details will be posted on the Events and Content Updates page when it’s live!
Fire Emblem Heroes – Feh Channel 7: Feh’s Summer Celebration
Next, we have Feh’s Summer Celebration, a series of events running in August. Here’s the list of events planned:
- Feh’s Summer Celebration Log-in Bonus
- Feh’s Summer Celebration Quests
- Daily Rewards Maps
- Double EXP & SP
- Tempest Trials+
- Daily Summoning Events
Let’s start with the Feh’s Summer Celebration Log-in Bonus. It will allow you to earn a total of 40 Orbs, with two sets of 10 Daily Log-in Bonuses offering 2 Orbs each day. The first set goes live on August 2nd and runs until August 16th, while the second one goes live on August 16th and lasts until August 29th.
Next: Daily Rewards Maps. This time, the maps feature Heroes from the A Hero Rises event. There will be 10 maps in total, each featuring 4 Heroes from the Top 40 Heroes from the event. As usual, there’s two difficulty levels: Normal, and Hard; clearing a map for the first time on each difficulty nets you 1 Orbs, which means you can get a total of 20 Orbs if you clear all maps on Normal and Hard!
The Daily Rewards Maps go live daily from August 2nd, and all run for 10 days each.
But that’s not all! The next Tempest Trials+ event has been announced. It will take place from August 14th, and will allow players to get not just one, but 6 Heroes as rewards. The Heroes all previously appeared in previous Tempest Trials events, so if you missed them, now is your chance to get them!
Here’s the 6 Heroes featured in this Tempest Trials+ event:
- [4 ★] Marth, the Enigmatic Blade (from Fire Emblem Awakening)
- [4 ★] Tobin: The Clueless One (from Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia)
- [4 ★] Clive: The Idealistic Knight (from Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia);

- [4 ★] Arden: The Strong and Tough (from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War);
- [5 ★] Joshua, the Tempest King (from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones).
Finally, we have the Daily Summoning Focus. Every day, a Summoning Focus from 2017 will come back, but only for 24h. This will run from August 2nd to August 16th!

Fire Emblem Heroes – Feh Channel 7: Version Update
Next, details were shared about the next Software update for the game (presumably Ver. 2.8.0). This time, some changes are coming to Grand Conquests events.
Starting with the next event, there will be a new feature called “Rank in Army”: it will allow players within an army to compete in order to try and earn the highest score possible. The higher your score, the higher your ranking. The higher your ranking, the more Hero Feathers you get as a reward! You get your reward at the end of each battle, and your score/rank is reset between battles.
Also, the starting score for conquered area will vary depending on the number of areas your army has conquered. The less areas under your control, the higher the starting score of said areas, making them easier to defend!
Area count 9 or higher: 5 000
Area count 7 or 8: 7 500
Area count 5 or 6: 10 000
Area count 3 or 4: 12 500
Area count 2 or lower: 15 000
The next Grand Conquest event starts on August 1st.
The next Software update will also allow players to refine the following weapons:
- Folkvangr (Alfonse)
- Fensalir (Sharena)
- Noatun (Anna)
Finally, the Arena is getting another new feature: a new rank, called Great Summoner, which is only for the very best players. This rank is marked as a crown, and you can see on the status screen how many times you’ve reached it. This goes live with the new Season starting on August 14th, but the rank will only be awarded on August 21st.
By the way, starting with that new Season, you will get +3 points for each enemy defeated with a bonus character!
Fire Emblem Heroes – Feh Channel 7: Forging Bonds
Finally, the Feh Channel presentation introduced a brand new event for Fire Emblem Heroes: Forging Bonds. In this one, you get to crow closer to a specific set of Heroes: for the first one, it’s the very Heroes from the Ylissean Travelers Summoning Focus:
- Libra: Fetching Fiar
- Maribelle: Dire Damsel
- Sumia: Maid of Flowers
- Olivia: Sky-High Dancer
Here’s how it works: by clearing stages, you get friendship points, allowing you to grow closer to each character. There’s 3 difficulty levels: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced, and as expected, the higher the difficulty level, the more friendship points you earn.
During battles, when enemies are defeated, they drop treasure chests with friendship points inside. Those points allow you to increase your friendship score, which in turn allows you to earn rewards.
As you build friendship with the event characters, you get to enjoy discussions with them! And if you increase your friendship with all 4 event characters, you can even unlock special conversations, so try to get closer to them all.
Finally, you can equip specific accessories in order to boost the amount of friendship points you get. The best thing is that accessories are among the possible rewards you can get thanks to the event, and those will help with future events! And sometimes, Heroes are in a good mood, which means friendship bonus for you!
The first Forging Bonds event runs from July 23rd to August 6th, and will allow you to earn tons of Orbs. First, you get 1 Orb the first time you clear a stage, every day: that’s 14 Orbs in total. But you also get a debut gift: 20 Orbs as Special Log-in Bonus. In total, this event will allow you to earn 34 orbs… not too shabby!
And that’s it for the latest Feh Channel presentation! Make sure to keep an eye on the Events and Content Updates and Characters pages for more details!
