Fire Emblem Heroes has been a reasonable success for Nintendo on mobile, earning loyal fans in the West and some solid momentum in Japan. Due to that it's been heavily supported with frequent updates, so naturally there are new 'Special Heroes' to summon that get in the festive spirit.
It looks rather fun - check out the outfits and cool move names below.
Isn't Tharja cold?
So there you have it - are you still enjoying Fire Emblem Heroes?

I like the creativity of their weapons. The less said about Tharja the better.
I can relate to Tharja as I wear shorts all year round.
By now I'm pretty much annoyed by Heroes ... every other day, I read a headline starting with "Fire Emblem", and for a heartbeat I get excited, but then my eyes reach "Heroes" and my excitement dissipates instantly. I should probably force myself not to become excited by that FE anymore, but alas, I really want to be excited by it =(
I'm having a good time with FE Heroes, but.. another event focused on the last games, again? Really? Only Awakening this time.
They surely surprised me by not releasing a "Mrs. Claus" Camilla with another impossible cleavage
@Bobb
You might not know this, but these characters were originally planned for when the game was to be released last Christmas, but the game was pushed back, and a Christmas event would have been inappropriate.
Someone on Reddit theorised that the heroes wouldn't have neccesarily all been 1-tile moving armoured units either, but the expert meta (in the arena for example) utilises armoured units, and, generally, those experts spend a lot of money on the game to create superior units. Thus, armoured units would be particularly attractive to them.
@edhe
Thank you for the insight, you are right, I didn't know about any of this. My only gripe is the character choices (and sometimes designs). I guess what you are telling me is that the decision was already made a long time ago, when Awakening was even bigger, but they keep giving priority to newer titles on newer events, even when the pool pointed most players love the old games.
It feels like we will have 3 alternate custome of each M/F Robin/Corrin before we get a fan-loved character from older FE games (at least the ones released in the west)
I want that Chrom and Tharja
@edhe I'm the same. Even buy new pairs of shorts during the winter. People look at me like I'm crazy
I need them all!
I thought they didn't go overboard this time... then Tharja popped up. Yep, I was wondering when that was happening. Gotta keep FE:H to its roots XD
@Bobb
Only a month after its release, data miners found reference pictures in the app that matched two of the finalised heroes you see in the above video. Robin had a full character image, while Tharja had just a cropped portrait image.
If the game was released as originally planned, and going through each of the seasonal banners, you'd have had M.Robin, Tharja, Lissa, Chrom, another Chrom, Camilla, Xander, Lucina, Charlotte, Lyn, Caeda, Cordelia, Xander, Elise, Frederick, F.Robin, Gaius, Tiki, Leo, F.Corrin, Nowi, Henry, Jakob, Sakura, and, counting the seemingly unique children banner, Soleil, Shiro and Siegbert.
That amounts to 13 from Awakening, 12 from Fates, and 2 from elsewhere (and only because they're as popular characters as Lyn and Caeda).
I too would have liked to have seen more variety in the seasonal characters, and although Lissa, Tharja and male Robin don't have an alternate hero like some others (i.e Chrom with his regular and Spring variations), they could have taken the opportunity to introduce a few other characters from Awakening, like Kellam or Miriel. In fact, on the subreddit, people joked Hector (as he appears in FE6) would have made a suitable "Santa", although if they were going to class the sack as an axe, it would have clashed with Hector's standard weapon.
Then again, I stand a greater chance of getting a Vaike or a Miriel if they are added as regular heroes - Charlotte being unique as only appearing in the game as a special Valentines day unit - now, sadly unavailable for summoning.
I might be lucky this time - I've got close to 100 orbs stocked, and I've been relatively lucky in getting the special units during my time with the game when a special banner is going on.
Too many other characters I still need to waste my orbs on Christmas costumes. Would've rather gotten Rhajat last week than any of these.
@edhe
Thank you again for all the info and good luck on those pulls.
Just now I noticed how strong would be a Mage Armor Knight with Close Counter.
I will be over there hoping for more FE7-10 characters to get the same treatment.
If I manage to get even just one of them, I'll be happy.
But I hope I don't pull duplicates again... I got two Bunny Xanders in the spring event, lol.
FEH:
It took me a year but I finally 'get' this game. That is, I now understand the goal. Now I'm working out the most efficient ways to get four of a single character and turn them into my squad of elite, yet overspecialized enforcers.
Gonna have to summon for that Tharja. Any others would be a bonus.
wheres my wafu camilla at.
Cool stuff. As for the Normal girl: That's of course very normal! Girls have very high bodyheat, they don't need clothes in the snow Lol!
