Meta Changes and Updates Banner Fire Emblem Heroes FEH

This is the monthly blog about changes in the meta for Fire Emblem Heroes (FEH). To know about any units that defined this March's meta and any other game changes, read on!

New Content in March

Are they meta defining?

Legendary Caeda is the first Legendary that has a built-in Duel effect for Arena scoring as well as a blessing stat boost. Caeda in particular grants HP+3 and Spd+3 while scoring as a 190 BST unit.

While this quality is unique to her as of now, we believe it's not enough to keep her meta defining. She will be present in Arena battles as a bonus unit and in-season Legendary, but will fall off once her bonus weeks are over.

Meta Units

Meta Units
Chrom - Fate-Defying Duo IconValentine's Chrom
[9.0/10]
Chrom - Crowned Exalt IconLegendary Chrom
[9.0/10]
Byleth - The Fódlan Star IconLegendary Byleth (M)
[8.5/10]
Caeda - Beloved Queen IconLegendary Caeda
[8.5/10]

It is currently Water Season month, and that means the return of the Arena menace, Legendary Chrom.

Legendary Chrom is an Arena staple, terrorizing players since his release with To Change Fate! being the main reason for unsuspected Arena surrenders.

Valentine's Chrom also has this powerful assist skill, and seeing both Chroms in one map is a very real possibility. We have encountered this dynamic duo often in our runs.

As for Legendary Caeda, she will be a common bonus unit for teams. However, we expect her to fall off the meta once her bonus weeks are over.

Finally, Legendary Byleth (M)'s presence in the upcoming A Hero Rises 2022 banner this month will inflate the scoring bar for Water season.

How to Counter

Ascended Idunn is currently a bonus unit and a great counter to both Chroms and Legendary Caeda due to her negating her own armor weakness. Equipping Distant Counter or Distant Stance is optional; she can tank a hit from either of the Chrom duo and attack back during player phase if necessary.

Legendary Byleth (M) will most likely run the Windsweep set. Ensure you field units that can either defeat him in player phase, or tank and retaliate back through Windsweep.

Try to field a powerful green unit as well, since Water season is filled with blue legendaries like Caeda, Chrom, Dimitri, and Azura.

Aether Raids

Meta-Defining Units

Meta Units
Corrin (F) - Nightfall Ninja Act IconNinja Corrin (F)
[9.0/10]
Azura - Hatari Duet IconHatari Azura
[9.0/10]
Thórr - War God IconThórr
[9.0/10]

Ninja Corrin (F) won the Voting Gauntlet for A Hero Rises 2022, and will be given out for free to all players.

She is a very powerful unit capable of clearing maps with her nuking prowess and her Duo skill granting an additional action.

She is also abundant in Aether Raids defense teams with her cavalry movement, nuking prowess, and ability to turn on Duo's Hindrance.

With her being given out for free, expect her to be present in both Aether Raids offense and defense.

Additionally, the other units in the banner will also become more common. The notable ones for Aether Raids are Hatari Azura, a cavalry refresher that also activates Duo's Hindrance, and Thórr, an Astra Mythic hero.

With Thórr's presence on the A Hero Rises 2022 banner as well as Plumeria's presence on last month's Hero Fest banner, the scoring bar for Astra/Anima season will be inflated more than ever.

How to Counter

If you are using a Far Save armored unit in your team, equip them with the Deflect Magic 3 sacred seal to prevent them from being defeated by Ninja Corrin (F).

Ensure that you have an upgraded Duo's Hindrance building to prevent Duo and Harmonic skills from being activated!

As all of these heroes are green, consider adding a red hero or two to your defense team. Legendary Sigurd and Valentine's Lif are among the best red heroes for Aether Raids defense.
