Your (un)official Shadows news source!

Hi, I've been posting Shadows news anyways, so why not make a blog for it?

This blog is totally legitimately run by Umbra, promises. (It's actually @felikatze in disguise!)

I'll (try to) keep up with news about hit mobile game Fire Emblem Shadows, and maybe make other posts about it concerning stuff I find interesting.

I probably won't cover everything, as I'm not all that interested in keeping up to date on what the current rate up Disciple Soul is. Or all the various social media engagement campaigns. Yippie!

Feel free to send in asks to talk about the game!

And don't forget to leave your soul in Fenris' hands~

Taglist below!

#umbral whispers ~ personal posts that may only be tangentially related to official news

#disciple reveals - what it says on the tin! for new character announcements

#socmed stuff ~ things related to FESH's social media presence

#fesh ~ the funnier acronym for Fire Emblem Shadows. We use this as the shorthand on the wiki.

#wiki propaganda ~ my illustrious wiki editing career. Probably just for when story scripts are up.

#from the light side ~ posts by other people! I may want to reblog fanart on here.

Hati is a grown-ass woman beefing with a child never forget this (compliment)

New 4koma, this time with Hati

Additionally, the next one is set to release on August 12th!

Featured this week: New weapons + Lyn

As a reminder to anyone looking to get on the grind, Lyn and Perenna are our featured souls for this week!

We also have three new weapons hitting the loot table.

The Prayer Tome, with the White Oracle skill: Deal 50% more weapon damage against monsters. It is tome Siegmund.

We have our newest weapon in the Resolute series with the Resolute Bow, and the standard Battle Fervor effect.

And lastly, the newest from the Moonlit series is the Moonlit Stone.

Changes to Platinum Chests

Gold has been raised to a minimum of 10k from the previous 8k.

The souls for Lyn, Corrin, Veronica, Ike, and Edelgard are now supposed to appear more frequently in Platinum Chests! I've already seen people get lucky, so high hopes on that front.

New Outfits: Veronica & Eugene

Veronica is coming to us with adorable jammies faturing Feh, and Eugene is strutting in as a butler to match Hanya's noble lady!

Celica, Caring Echo

A disciple of light who desires peace. Deeply faithful, yet fears how much power the shadow has over the soul.

The Caring Echo season pass is out now!

Just wanted to draw book 3 characters for fun again (feat. facial expression drawings!)

In much smaller news, fescord had a fanfic writing contest, and the eight entries have now been revealed. Voting for a winner is fescord-only, but anyone can feel free to read~ One of them's even mine!

New Supports + minor adjustments

Together with the Celica season pass, we have a couple of other pieces of news!

First, new supports! Hati/Dimitri and Shea/Lyn. Finally, we might just learn -- is Dimitri fucking dead? I will be judging based on whether or not the support is visibly set post-Book 1. In addition to that, we have a first non-event-related season pass rate up to celebrate with Lyn.

In a similar vein, old season pass units now (supposedly) show up more often in Plat Chests. I don't believe souls show up in Plats at all until I see it myself (though one time I saw a screenshot of somebody getting 2 Ikes through the summer fair 10x plat pack).

Lastly, in more minor news, the gold limit for discount coupons has been increased.

Only the premium gold ones though, of course. Not your silly free silver coupons.

It's Celica, Caring Echo! And, as some of you predicted, she's a fox!

Her skills are fairly interesting. The EX is similar enough to Yunaka, but this is where we at last get Dark Elfire! Dual Healing is in the same vein as Ananke's Dual Invigorate EX, but there might be potential light side survivability. As for the Harm minion... We'll see if that penalty is worth it.

And here's all the rewards! Her associated weapon will be the Prayer Tome!

Ain't no way I'd lose! This was SUPPOSED to be just a doodle of Skoll's smug expression...but I love this evil dork so much that I got carried away. His hair was DESIGNED for traditional art, I'm telling you. I kinda like this "Fire Emblem Grid" thing I unintentionally started...I might draw some more FE characters like this, honestly. Go play Fire Emblem Shadows—Skoll and Hati are SUCH interesting antagonists. I'm devouring all the lore about them.

[umbra-unofficial]

New season pass is starting soon! I've seen people speculate Celica, but what do yall think?

[umbra-unofficial]

All Supports now available on Youtube!

The people of Fescord came together to record all supports, and the fruits of our efforts have reached Youtube. (I recorded Yuni-Erma!)

Enjoy! You'll also find the new Perenna supports on the same channel.

Potentially dumb question: when then story says only a descendant of one of the 12 bloodlines can use the Sovereign Axe, is it clear whether this is "the story is being weird about using Proper Names again" so it's "one of" as in a specific bloodline or does it literally mean anyone from any of the 12 families could do it, so like Kurt could pick it up if need be. The way the story is written implies the former but I want to be sure

I don't knowwwwww. The story is DEFINITELY being weird about proper names with it, but the way its phrased could mean that just, anyone can use it. But in that case, Rusty wouldn't be "the last would-be wielder", because then like, Kurt could use it. The story is very much framing it as only Rusty being capable, so I would presume that only Rusty's family can.

Shrugs!

Thank you very much @rapidpaw for the clarification from the JP side! It only being Rusty's family does just make way more sense.

Another track has been uploaded to Nintendo Mobile! Betrayal ~ Sovereign Axe, the moon room theme for Book 3 characters.

And because I do believe I forgot it last time, here is Betrayal ~ Mystery of the Emblem.

[umbra-unofficial]

Perenna supports are up! Many thanks this time to MrSchrubelhupf and Vinny for providing them.
