○ An issue regarding the danger area after the use of the Continue feature has been fixed.

We had confirmed an issue where, if a player was defeated during the enemy phase and used a Light’s Blessing or Orbs to continue playing while an enemy unit was activating Canto, the range of the enemy unit’s Canto was shown as the enemy unit’s danger area and movement range. The correct danger areas and movement ranges are now shown.

○ The behavior regarding the recruitment of a certain Hero in Binding Worlds has been adjusted.

We had confirmed that, in Binding Worlds, if your starting team included Ash: Retainer to Askr, and she leveled up through the use of a Divine Askr Gate, that Ash: Retainer to Askr could be made an ally. You will no longer be able to make the Ash: Retainer to Askr included in your starting team your ally.

Note: You can use an Otherworld Bond to make another player’s Ash: Retainer to Askr your ally.

○ The behavior regarding screen transitions when attempting to merge two of the same Forma has been adjusted.

We had confirmed that, after having selected a source and target for merging Forma, if a player selected “Next,” tapped the + icon in the top-left corner of the screen, and then tapped the ← icon in an attempt to return to the post-confirmation detailed stat screen, the player returned to the Forma select screen. Backing out of the detailed stat screen will now return the player to the previous screen.

■ Divine Codes (Part 6) have been added

New Divine Codes that can be used to compile Normal Combat Manuals, Divine Codes (Part 6), have become available! Mjölnir’s Strike and other events that start after this update from which Divine Codes can be obtained will switch from Divine Codes (Part 5) to Divine Codes (Part 6).

Notes:
・ The Divine Codes available as rewards from the Arena will switch with the season starting 11/3/2025 7:00(UTC)

Also, along with the addition of Divine Codes (Part 6), a new Normal 6 category has been added to the Compile menu. There are Rearmed Hero & Attuned Hero Combat Manuals in Normal 6 as well, so please check it out!

Please note that you will still be able to compile Normal 1 through 5 Combat Manuals after the update. Normal 1 Combat Manuals are generally compiled with Divine Codes (Part 1), and so on, but if you don’t have enough older Divine Codes, you can supplement them with Divine Codes (Part 6). Older Divine Codes will be prioritized.

Example: If you wish to compile a Normal 4 Combat Manual that requires 1,200 Divine Codes and you have 100 Divine Codes (Part 4), 200 Divine Codes (Part 5), and 1,000 Divine Codes (Part 6), the Divine Codes (Part 4) will be consumed first, followed by your Divine Codes (Part 5). Finally, your Divine Codes (Part 6) will account for the remainder.

Note: You cannot compile Combat Manuals that require new Divine Codes by using older Divine Codes.

Of the Heroes that appear in Legendary & Mythic Hero Remixes, Xander: Gallant King and Ash: Retainer to Askr have gained new skills.

○ New skills

・ A Skill

Atk/Spd Excel
If unit or foe initiates combat after moving
to a different space, grants Atk/Spd+6 and
Atk/Spd+X to unit during combat (X = number
of spaces from start position to end position
of whoever initiated combat; max 4), and also,
if unit initiates combat, reduces damage from
foe’s attacks by X × 3 during combat
(excluding area-of-effect Specials). If foe’s
attack triggers foe’s Special, reduces damage
dealt to unit by X × 3 during combat (excluding
area-of-effect Specials).

・ B Skill
Chivalry II
Enables【Canto (Rem. +1; Min ２)】.

Reduces damage from attacks during combat
and from area-of-effect Specials by 50%
(excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials).

Inflicts Atk/Spd/Def-5 on foe, deals damage =
X% of unit’s Atk (excluding area-of-effect
Specials), reduces damage from foe’s attacks
by X% of unit’s Atk (excluding area-of-effect
Specials; if foe’s HP ≥ 50% at start of combat,
X = 25; otherwise, X = 15), and grants Special
cooldown count-Y to unit before unit’s first
attack during combat (Y = number of spaces
from start position to end position of whoever
initiated combat, max 3; if foe’s HP ≥ 75% at
start of combat, however, value is treated as 3).

【Canto (Rem. +1; Min ２)】
After an attack, Assist skill, or structure
destruction, unit can move spaces = any
movement not already used that turn +1
(min ２; if unit used a movement
skill that warped them, unit can move
２ space(s)).

(Unit moves according to movement type. Once
per turn. Cannot attack or assist. Only highest
value applied. Does not stack. After moving,
if a skill that grants another action would be
triggered (like with Galeforce), Canto will
trigger after the granted action. Unit’s base
movement has no effect on movement granted.
Cannot warp (using skills like Wings of Mercy)
a distance greater than unit would be able to
move with normal Canto movement.)

This skill can only be equipped by its original unit.

・ B Skill

A/D Spiked Wall
Foes with Range = 1 cannot move through
spaces adjacent to unit (does not affect foes
with Pass skills).

Foes with Range = 2 cannot move through
spaces within 2 spaces of unit (does not
affect foes with Pass skills).

Inflicts Atk/Def-4 on foe, deals damage = 15%
of the greater of unit’s Def or Res (excluding
area-of-effect Specials), reduces damage from
foe’s first attack by 7 (“first attack” normally
means only the first strike; for effects that
grant “unit attacks twice,” it means the first and
second strikes), and neutralizes effects that
inflict “Special cooldown charge -X” on unit
during combat.

・ C Skill
Open Retainer+
Allies within 2 spaces can move to any space
within 2 spaces of unit.

For allies within 3 spaces of unit, grants
Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 and neutralizes foe’s
bonuses during combat, and also, when ally
deals damage to foe during their combat,
restores 7 HP to that ally.

If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants
Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit, neutralizes foe’s
bonuses, and reduces the percentage of foe’s
non-Special “reduce damage by X%” skills by
50% during combat (excluding area-of-effect
Specials), and also, when unit deals damage
to foe during combat, restores 7 HP to unit.
This skill can only be equipped by its original unit.

○ Two slight adjustments have been made in regard to Lyn: Of Blazing engaging with Duo Heroes.

When a Duo Hero is engaged with an Emblem Hero that has an effect that enables Style, that Duo Hero cannot use Duo Skills until they Disengage. However, it appeared that Duo Skills were usable in the following situations, so adjustments have been made.

・ When a Duo Hero was placed on a team while Smart End was set to Excl. Pair/Duo in the settings, the player phase would not end automatically, even if all of the player’s Heroes had acted.
After the update releases, the player phase ends automatically in the scenario above.

・ When a Duo Hero was placed on a team, the effects of their Duo Skill would activate at the start of the battle and at the end of their action.
After the update releases, the effects of Duo Skills will not activate.

○ Slight bug regarding reinforcements in Aether Raids has been fixed.

We have looked into a bug that prevented reinforcements from acting when Auto-Battle was turned on before they appeared in Aether Raids.

After the update releases, reinforcements can act, regardless of when Auto-Battle is turned on.

■ New skills have been added for some Legendary Heroes

Of the Heroes that appear in Legendary & Mythic Hero Remixes, Micaiah: Radiant Queen and Fae: Childlike Dragon have gained new skills.

○ New skills

・ B Skill
Prescience II
At start of turn, if any foes have the highest
Atk, Spd, Def, or Res on the enemy team,
inflicts【Sabotage】and【Panic】on
those foes and inflicts -7 on the corresponding
stat of those foes and foes within 2 spaces of
those foes through their next actions.

Inflicts Atk/Spd/Res-5 on foe, inflicts
penalty on foe’s Spd/Res = highest total
penalties among target and foes within
2 spaces of target, reduces damage
from foe’s attacks by 30% (excluding
area-of-effect Specials), and neutralizes
effects that inflict “Special cooldown
charge -X” on unit during combat.

【Sabotage】
Inflicts penalty on unit’s Atk/Spd/Def/Res
during combat = highest penalty on each
stat between unit and allies within 2 spaces
of unit through its next action. Calculates
each stat penalty independently.

【Panic】
Converts bonuses on target into penalties
through its next action.

This skill can only be equipped by its original unit.

・ C Skill

Time’s Pulse 4
At start of turn, if Special cooldown count is
at its maximum value, grants Special cooldown
count-1. After combat, if Special cooldown
count is at its maximum value, grants Special
cooldown count-1.

・ Special Skill
Life Unending II
Cooldown: 5
At the start of turn 1, grants Special cooldown
count-5 to unit.

When Special triggers, if unit’s HP > 1 and
foe would reduce unit’s HP to 0, unit survives
with 1 HP.

Reduces damage from foe’s first attack by
40% during combat (“first attack” normally
means only the first strike; for effects that
grant “unit attacks twice,” it means the first
and second strikes), and unit’s next attack
deals damage = total damage reduced from
foe’s first attack (by any source, including
other skills; resets at end of combat).

After combat, if unit’s Special triggered,
restores 99 HP (neutralizes the effects
of【Deep Wounds】and will not trigger again
for 2 turns after triggering).

【Deep Wounds】
Unit’s HP cannot be healed through its
next action.

This skill can only be equipped by its original unit.

・ B Skill

Dragon’s Scales
If foe initiates combat or if unit’s HP ≥ 25% at
start of combat, inflicts Atk/Def/Res-X on foe
(X = 4 + the greater of the difference between
Def stats or difference between Res stats
(unit’s Def/Res minus foe’s Def/Res); max 11;
if either of unit’s stats < foe’s stat, difference
is treated as 0), unit makes a guaranteed
follow-up attack, grants Special cooldown
count-1 to unit before foe’s first attack, and
reduces the percentage of foe’s non-Special
“reduce damage by X%” skills by 50% during
combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials).

5★ Light Mythic Hero Rune: Source of Wisdom will join your barracks if you clear Part 5 of Chapter 1 of Book IX on Normal difficulty.

In a Shield battle in Mjölnir’s Strike, the leftmost Hero in a defense team, who has the Raid role, cannot be attacked by foes.

Before the update, we had confirmed a bug that allowed a Hero with the Raid role to be attacked by a foe if the Hero was on a space affected by Divine Vein (Ice).

After the update released, even if a Hero is on a space affected by Divine Vein (Ice), foes will not be able to attack them.

○ We have addressed a bug that may trigger an incorrect calculation in the combat forecast when Sigurd: Of the Holy War’s Special Skill Override is activated.

In the scenario where a foe targeted for an attack or a nearby foe within range of the attack has a Skill that affects combat in different ways depending on the HP of nearby allies when Override was used to attack the targeted foe and nearby foes, that effect was not taken into account in the combat forecast.

After the update releases, the combat forecast remains correct, regardless of if the above scenario takes place or not.

○ Illustrations for Panette: Classy Brawler have been adjusted.

All of the illustrated poses for Panette: Classy Brawler have been adjusted.

Of the Heroes that appear in Legendary & Mythic Hero Remixes, Claude: King of Unification and Ullr: The Bowmaster gained new skills.

○ New skills

・ B Skill

Fallen Star II
If unit initiates combat or【Deep Star】is active
on unit, inflicts Spd/Def-5 on foe, unit deals
+X × 5 damage (max 25; excluding
area-of-effect Specials), and reduces damage
from foe’s first attack by X × 3 during combat
(max 15; X = number of【Bonus】effects active
on unit, excluding stat bonuses + number
of【Penalty】effects active on foe, excluding
stat penalties). If unit initiates combat, reduces
damage from foe’s first attack by 80% during
combat. (“First attack” normally means only the
first strike; for effects that grant “unit attacks
twice,” it means the first and second strikes.)

If unit initiates combat, grants【Deep Star】to
unit and inflicts【Gravity】on target and
foes within 1 space of target after combat.

【Deep Star】
For 1 turn, if it is unit’s first combat initiated by
foe that turn, reduces damage from foe’s first
attack by 80% during combat (that turn only;
“first attack” normally means only the first
strike; for effects that grant “unit attacks twice,”
it means the first and second strikes).

【Bonus】
All effects that last “for 1 turn” or “that turn
only.” Includes bonuses granted by a skill
like Rally or Hone and positive status effects
(extra movement or effects like Dominance).

【Penalty】
All effects that last “on foe through its next
action.” Includes penalties inflicted by a skill
like Panic or Threaten and negative status
effects (preventing counterattacks, restricting
movement, or the effects of a skill like
Triangle Adept or Guard).

【Gravity】
Restricts target’s movement to 1 space through
its next action.

This skill can only be equipped by its original unit.

・ C Skill

Guidance 4
Infantry and armored allies within 2 spaces
can move to a space within 2 spaces of unit.
Grants Atk/Spd+3 to infantry and armored
allies within 2 spaces of unit during combat,
and also, if those allies’ Spd > foe’s Spd,
neutralizes effects that prevent those allies’
follow-up attacks during combat.
・ B Skill

Yngvi Ascendant+
Inflicts Spd/Def-5 on foe and neutralizes effects
that guarantee foe’s follow-up attacks and
effects that prevent unit’s follow-up attacks
during combat, and also, if decreasing the Spd
difference necessary to make a follow-up
attack by 10 would allow unit to trigger a
follow-up attack (excluding guaranteed or
prevented follow-ups), triggers
【Potent Follow 100%】during combat.

If unit initiates combat, unit can make a
follow-up attack before foe’s next attack.

【Potent Follow 100%】
Triggers an additional follow-up attack
immediately after unit’s standard follow-up
attack and deals damage = 100% of
unit’s normal attack damage (if unit cannot
make a follow-up attack, this effect triggers
when the standard follow-up attack would
occur; this effect is treated like a follow-up
attack, so effects like “reduce damage by
X%” still apply, but this effect is not affected
by effects that prevent follow-ups or
“attacks twice” effects; only highest
value applied; does not stack).

This skill can only be equipped by its original unit.

・ C Skill

Atk/Spd Oath 4
At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of
an ally, grants Atk/Spd+6 and the following
status to unit for 1 turn: “Unit can move to
a space adjacent to any ally within 2 spaces.”
If unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants
Atk/Spd+3 to unit during combat.

increases foe’s follow-up ability through unit’s
next action:

Increases Spd difference necessary for unit to
make a follow-up attack by X and decreases
Spd difference necessary for foe to make a
follow-up attack by X during combat (if foe’s
Def > unit’s Def, X = 10 + difference between
Def stats × 2; otherwise, X = 10). (For example,
if Spd difference necessary increases by 10,
Spd must be ≥ 15 more than foe’s Spd to make
a follow-up attack; stacks with similar skills.)

○ We have corrected an issue in the behavior of the negative status condition, Stall.

The penalty Stall’s effect limits movement to one space. However, this effect was not operating as expected and has been corrected. Previously, when a unit’s movement is limited to one space, the actual range of movement depends on the unit’s type. For example, an Infantry movement type unit could not move into adjacent forested terrain under this effect’s previous behavior. After the update, units will be limited to a movement of one space regardless of their movement type, even allowing for cases like the unit in the aforementioned example to be able to move into an adjacent forested terrain space.

We have adjusted Gullveig: Glittering Sunlight’s appearance when triggering their Duo Skill.

○ Illustrations for Gullveig: Glittering Sunlight have been adjusted.

■ The second half of Book VIII!

The second half of Book VIII of the main story will begin 7/6/2024 7:00(UTC), starting with Book VIII, Chapter 8: The World-Tree!

At last, the story brings us to the World-Tree. Can we save Henriette, who has been poisoned by the Quieting Hands, and put a stop to the enemy’s plans?!

Part 1 of Book VIII, Chapter 8 will also show the Mid-Book VIII movie. Enjoy the spectacular battle taking place at the World-Tree!

Note: The video is available to watch on YouTube as well.

■ A new event, United Warfront, is being added!

A new event in which you win battles together with Heroes from other worlds, United Warfront, will begin. Form teams with different Heroes in each battle, and try to win five times in a row!

United Warfront is an event where players form a team of four Heroes from both their own army and another player’s to go into battle.

If your team contains a Hero from your army and one from the other player’s that are from the same title, those Heroes get a bonus to all of their stats!

Once you win, you can proceed to the next battle, and you can choose a summoner whose Heroes will fight for each battle. However, once a Hero is dispatched into battle, you cannot add them to your team from the next battle on, so be creative in organizing your team when the time comes!

You can see a small preview of this event in action in the Feh Channel (June 5, 2024) video that was recently released. We hope you take a look!

This event is scheduled to be held for the first time starting 12/6/2024 7:00(UTC).

More details and gameplay tips will be included in notifications leading up to the event.

Example: If you wish to compile a Normal 3 Combat Manual that requires 1,200 Divine Codes and you have 100 Divine Codes (Part 3), 200 Divine Codes (Part 4), and 1,000 Divine Codes (Part 5), the Divine Codes (Part 3) will be consumed first, followed by your Divine Codes (Part 4). Finally, your Divine Codes (Part 5) will account for the remainder.

Note: You cannot compile Combat Manuals that require new Divine Codes by using older Divine Codes.

■ Other changes

○ The behavior of some skills has been corrected.

The “Holy Light” Special Skill series (Holy Pressure, Light’s Restraint, Holy Panic, and Glitter of Light) has been adjusted. Previously, the part of the skill that inflicted a penalty on a designated foe(s) after combat when the Special was triggered was not triggering after combat in situations where the unit was defeated. The skill series has been adjusted so that this effect does trigger, even if the unit is defeated.

The adjusted skills are as follows:

・ Holy Pressure
・ Light’s Restraint
・ Holy Panic
・ Glitter of Light

Example: Glitter of Light
If an Assist skill is used, unit’s Special cooldown
count does not go down. When Special triggers,
boosts damage by 45% of foe’s Res (calculates
damage from staff after combat damage is
added). If this Special is triggered during
combat, after combat, inflicts status on target
and foes within 2 spaces of target preventing
counterattacks through their next actions.

■ New skills have been added for Legendary Heroes

Of the Heroes that appear in Legendary & Mythic Hero Remixes, Corrin: Child of Dusk and Lilina: Firelight Leader have gained new skills.

○ New skills

・ Special Skill
Negating Fang II
Cooldown: 3
Reduces damage from foe’s attacks by 40%.
After Special triggers, unit’s next attack deals
damage = 40% of unit’s Atk. (Boost resets at
the end of combat.) If foe has the “attacks
twice” effect, grants Special cooldown count-2
to unit after first Special trigger per combat.

This skill can only be equipped by its original unit.

・ B Skill

Guard 4
At start of combat, if unit’s HP ≥ 25%, inflicts
Atk-4 and Special cooldown charge -1 on foe
per attack during combat (only highest value
applied; does not stack) and reduces damage
from foe’s first attack during combat by 30%.

・ Special Skill
Gifted Magic II
Cooldown: 2
Before combat this unit initiates, foes
in an area near target take damage equal to
(unit’s Atk – foe’s Def or Res). After combat,
if unit’s Special triggered, grants【Canto (１)】
to unit and allies within 3 rows or 3 columns
centered on unit for 1 turn (granted even
if unit’s HP reaches 0).

【Canto (１)】
After an attack, Assist skill, or structure
destruction, unit can move １ space(s).

(Unit moves according to movement type. Once
per turn. Cannot attack or assist. Only highest
value applied. Does not stack. After moving,
if a skill that grants another action would be
triggered (like with Galeforce), Canto will
trigger after the granted action. Unit’s base
movement has no effect on movement granted.
Cannot warp (using skills like Wings of Mercy)
a distance greater than １ space(s).)

This skill can only be equipped by its original unit.

・ B Skill

Sabotage A/R 3
At start of turn, if any foe’s Res < unit’s Res
and that foe is adjacent to another foe, inflicts
Atk/Res-6 on that foe through its next action.
At start of combat, if unit’s Res > foe’s Res,
inflicts Atk/Res-X on foe during combat
(X = 3 + highest penalty on each stat
between target and foes within 2 spaces
of target; calculates each stat penalty
independently).

Patch notes:

■ Book VIII of the main story begins!

Starting 7/12/2023 7:00(UTC), Book VIII of the main story will open.

The Kingdom of Askr and the Emblian Empire overcome their hardships and join hands. However, that peace is suddenly shattered by the forces of Yggdrasill, the World-Tree. After Ratatoskr—who was sent to assassinate Alfonse—joins their side as an ally, the Order of Heroes faces a terrifying conspiracy…

5★ Mythic Hero Ratatoskr: Mending Hand will join your barracks if you clear Part 5 of Chapter 1 of Book VIII on Normal difficulty.

Be sure to watch the Book VIII Opening Movie and witness Ratatoskr dashing across the World-Tree and setting the scene for Book VIII! You can jump right into the story of Book VIII even if you haven’t completed Books I through VII.

And to celebrate the beginning of Book VIII, starting 7/12/2023 7:00(UTC), we will be holding the Book VIII: Ratatoskr and More summoning event and the Book VIII Begins Celebration!

In this New Heroes summoning event, Ratatoskr: Mending Hand is available as a part of the 5★ focus category along with New Heroes from the Fire Emblem Awakening game.

Note: Because Ratatoskr: Mending Hand is a Mythic Hero, she does not appear in normal summoning events. The next time she is scheduled to appear in a summoning event is this month’s Legendary Hero summoning event.

You can make two copies of 5★ Hero Inigo: Flower Picker your ally by completing quests, and there will be Log-In Bonuses from which you can get Dragonflowers and more as part of the Book VIII Begins celebratory events!

Note: Achievement headers/achievements for clearing the main story will not be added for Book VIII and future Books because the maximum number of achievements that can be set in the store will have been reached.

■ A new event, Affinity Auto-Battles, is being added!

A new event where you battle together with Heroes from other worlds, Affinity Auto-Battles, will begin. Enjoy checking your affinity while getting rewards!

Affinity Auto-Battles is an event in which individual Heroes are each dispatched to different worlds to take on missions with the help of other players’ units. The affinity between your forces and the allied team is determined before battles.

Note: Affinity is somewhat mysterious and may not give you results you expect.

The greater your affinity, the more of a stat boost your Heroes will receive in combat! Additionally, an Affinity Bonus will be added to your score. Because battles take place using Auto-Battle, the better the results of your affinity, the greater your advantage in battle.

You can see a small preview of this event in action in the Feh Channel (December 4, 2023) video that was recently released. We hope you take a look!

This event is scheduled to be held for the first time starting 18/12/2023 7:00(UTC).

More details and gameplay tips will be included in notifications leading up to the event.

■ The range of Heroes that you can make your allies in Binding Worlds will be expanded

You can use the Otherworld Bond item to make Heroes from Ver. 5.11.0 or earlier your allies in Binding Worlds! You can see what Heroes are included within the specific versions by using the Sort and Filter features on the Edit Teams screen.

The Ver. 8.0.0 Binding Worlds event is scheduled to begin starting 11/12/2023 7:00(UTC) This event will be the first time that Binding Worlds has been held since Attuned Heroes have made their debut. You will be able to set new Attuned Heroes or Heroes equipped with an Attuned Skill as a proxy. In addition, Heroes who appeared in Ver. 5.11.0 or earlier and who are equipped with an Attuned Skill can be made your ally while having that Attuned Skill.
