The New Year Special Heroes are now available in Fire Emblem Heroes. These heroes are available from today until January 30, 2018 at 10:59 PM Pacific Time. A new paralogue chapter is also available too for these heroes.
Azura is a singing axe flying unit. Her learnable skills at 5-stars are:
- Hagoita+ (Weapon)
- Grants Def/Res+2 during combat to allies within 2 spaces
- Sing
- Enables target to take another action. Cannot be used to unites with Sing or Dance
- Earth Dance 3 (B Skill)
- If Sing or Dance is used, grants Def+5 to target
- Hone Fliers (C Skill)
- Grants adjacent flying allies Atk/Spd+6 through their next actions at the start of each turn
The next Special Hero is Takumi and he is a dagger infantry unit. At 5-stars, his skills are:
- Kagami Mochi+ (Weapon)
- Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). After combat, if unit attacked, inflicts Def/Res-7 on target and foes within 2 spaces through their next actions
- Moonbow (Special)
- Resolve combat as if foe suffered Def/Res-30%
- Atk/Res Bond 3 (A Skill)
- Grants Atk/Res+5 to this unit during combat if unit is adjacent to an ally
- Bowbreaker 3 (B Skill)
- If unit’s HP ≥ 50% in combat against a colorless bow foe, unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack and foe cannot make a follow-up attack
Of course, Camilla will be included in the New Year banner. She is a sword flying unit, and here are her skills she can learn at 5-stars:
- Kadomatsu+ (Weapon)
- Grants Def/Res+2 during combat to allies within 2 spaces
- Draconic Aura (Special)
- Grants +30% to Atk
- Spd/Def Bond 3 (A Skill)
- Grants Sped/Def+5 to unit during combat if adjacent to an ally
- Ward Fliers (C Skill)
- Grants flying allies within 2 spaces Def/Res+4 during combat
For some reason, there is a sprite of male Corrin in New Year clothing but he will not be a part of this New Year Special Heroes banner.
As for the units, I think that Azura is the most useful because she is a singing flying unit which can be dangerous. As for Takumi and Camilla, I believe that their skillsets are also useful but there’s nothing too special about their skills. I can see Camilla working well on a current flier team because of her Ward Fliers skill. Takumi on the other hand will be useful to players who do not have a good archer or dagger unit because he comes with Bowbreaker 3 and his weapons helps accelerates his Special trigger.
