Owain

Fire Emblem Warriors was one of those releases that seems to have gotten a little passed over at launch, as the game released only one week in advance of Super Mario Odyssey. Though we’re due to get a mainline Fire Emblem game sometime this year, Fire Emblem Warriors did a great job of finding middle ground between the gameplay of the Warriors series and Nintendo popular SRPG. The initial release was meaty enough, but Tecmo has been releasing DLC as part of the season pass every now and then, and the latest content has just gone live.

The new DLC focuses on Fire Emblem: Awakening, and sees the addition of Owain, Tharja, and Olivia to the roster. It also brings new History Mode maps, new skills, new weapons, and new costumes. Here’s the full list of things included, along with the content being added in the free 1.5.0 update that coincides with it:

◆ Additional Playable Characters

Owain

  • Voiced by: Hidenori Takahashi
  • Weapon: Sword
  • Class: Swordsman

With his character skill, “Balanced Power Resonance,” the smaller the difference between his Str and Mag, the greater the damage he can deal to enemies.

Tharja

  • Voiced by: Yuuki Takada
  • Weapon: Grimoire
  • Class: Dark Mage

Although she will take slip damage when her character skill, “Covenant of Destruction,” is equipped, the lesser her HP gets, the greater the damage she can deal to enemies. (The HP reduced by slip damage will not affect your Battle Results.)

Olivia

  • Voiced by: Rei Matsuzaki
  • Weapon: Sword
  • Class: Dancer

With her character skill, “Galeforce,” the Warrior Gauge and Awakening Gauge restore each time you defeat a strong enemy.

◆ Additional History Maps

Scion of Legend

A mysterious swordsman seeking the legendary divine sword “Mystletainn” shows up in a certain village.

Exalt Emmeryn

Chrom and company, who visited Plegia in order to rescue Emmeryn, come across a shaman who re-chants a suspicious spell.

Caravan Dancer

While Plegia soldiers withdrew from the battlefield, the figure of a determined, lone dancer heading towards the battlefield appeared.

◆ Additional Armor Break Models

Armor Break state model changes will be supported for the following characters: Chrom, Lucina, Robin, Lissa, Frederick, Cordelia, Owain, Tharja, and Olivia.

◆ Dedicated Weapons

Robin
“Thoron”
Lissa
“Lissa’s Healing Axe”
Frederick
“Frederick’s Solid Axe”
Cordelia
“Cordelia’s Love Lance”
Owain
“Mystletainn”
Tharja

Olivia

◆ Additional Weapon Skills

Active Strengthening
Further increases damage dealt by attack-type and special-type weapon skills. (Targets weapon skills such as Critical+ and Triangle+.)
Attack Acceleration
Increases the speed of Critical and Strong attacks. (The weapon skill previously only granted to the “Chrom’s Training Sword” obtained via the Chrom Amiibo.)
Full Capacity Amplification
Amplifies all stats except movement. (The weapon skill previously only granted to the “Tiki’s Tear” obtained via the Tiki Amiibo.)

(Additional costumes, usable weapons, and weapon skills can be obtained as rewards for clearing History Maps.)

    • Increases the maximum character level from 130 to 150.

    • “Rightful God” – Increases weapon attack power to match that of a Hero Weapon, and negates the disadvantages of an effectiveness weapon skill. (This can be obtained via a random drop.)

    • “Tactician Blessing” – By receiving this blessing, the battle will enter a “Tactician Mode” where the player-controlled character can only deal zero damage, making it a fight can only be cleared via NPC instruction.
    • (Informal Blessing and Tactician Blessing will be added to the “Blessings” menu at the Temple.)
    • “Level Reset” – Level Reset has been added to the Temple menu. Depending on the level of the selected character, you can revert to Level 1 instead of receiving materials.
