Just a few days ago, four new Fire Emblem Heroes characters were announced. Ephraim, Eirika, Seliph, and Julia are now available. All four characters are five star focus characters under the new “Family Bonds” banner. The Family Bonds banner will be available until Feb. 26. Both the Deep Devotion and Legendary Heroes banners are now gone. The focus characters found in the old banners can all still be summoned, though without the increased focus rates.
In addition to the new characters, Paralogues has opened up for the first time. Found under the Story Maps section of the battle menu, Paralogue 1 currently has three missions. Each mission will give one orb, for a total of nine orbs if players complete the paralogue on every mode. The Paralogue missions will also end on Feb. 26.
