Review on Fire Emblem Heroes - Resplendent Heroes

Fire Emblem Heroes was released in February of 2017 and has only gained popularity since its release. With a consistent release of new Heroes, content, and story, FE Heroes keeps its player base well fed.

But of course, a company has gotta make money somehow, right? FE Heroes is a free-to-play game (with in-app purchases and subscription service), so it's not quite free.

Feh Pass, $9.49 a month, brings many benefits with it, my personal favorite being Resplendent Attire for older Heroes. With Resplendent skins, the units also come with +2 to stats, new voice lines, and a new sprite in-game reflecting their new artwork.

(A bit more on Feh Pass.) The nearly 10 dollars a month subscription service comes with a few decent benefits, such as exclusive quests, expanded Summoner Support, and an auto-battle that'll keep the gameplay going as long as your screen is on.

Let's dive into the first four released!

Lyn: Lady of the Plains

It's safe to say Lyn is an extremely popular, if not the most popular, Hero to date. It's only natural she'd be the character used to raise awareness (any money).

Lyn comes with Nifl-inspired attire, sporting snowflake designs, and a new hair tie. Her shoulder pads look especially fashionable this winter!

The artist, cuboon, has illustrated several other Heroes, most notably (in my opinion) Byleth: Fell Star's Duo. There's no need to explain my reasoning.

Cordelia: Knight Paragon

Cordelia's old artwork was well deserving of a rework. The knight herself is swooping in on her pegasus: New gold-detailed armor, boots, and gloves, with nods to her previous outfit included!

This art is what got me to subscribe to Feh Pass, and I haven't yet canceled it. Her shiny hair, shiny armor, that long scarf fluttering behind her... This is just a well-constructed outfit. Say hello to Cordelia in her Askran look!

Noy has also illustrated Hilda: Idle Maiden and Oboro: Fierce Bride-to-Be. All three units' special art features bright colors and dynamic facial expressions.

Ike: Young Mercenary

Ah, one of Fire Emblem's blue-haired boys is here. And he's got some new Múspell-inspired armor! Time to gush for a second, sorry. The inside of his new cape with varying shades of blue is to die for. Literally. Ike wields Ragnell and isn't afraid to use it.

He's still sporting red, as is customary, but the darker shades in his outfit appear more menacing, a good fit for the Kingdom of Flames.

Asatani Tomoyo has also designed Berkut and Rinea's fantastic dress outfits, from the summer of '19. And who could forget the unofficial Berkut/Rinea duo unit: Berkut: Purgatorial Prince?

Sophia: Nabata Prophet

Here's another example where the older art was just about begging to be redone. With her dress and cape inspired by that of Veronica and her brother over in Embla, this is just a gorgeous outfit overall.

Her collar is reminiscent of that of Brave Veronica's, just a bit more toned down. Sophia seems to have tamed her wild hairdo a bit as well, it's less likely to drag mud and junk from the fields of combat.

Miwabe Sakura has also drawn the recent duo unit featuring Myrrh and Nah, the young princess Kana, and several other young ladies of Fire Emblem! I'm sensing a pattern.

So we're done here?

Heck no, we're not done here yet! That's just a few units down out of... 20 something in total.
