Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes Might Not Bring Back Every Heroes Relic

gamerant.com:

As the release date of Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes approaches, trailers have begun to show off the unique play style of each character. As is Fire Emblem tradition, playable characters can wield a variety of weapons including swords, lances, axes, and more. As the game's predecessor, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, featured a group of special weapons, armor, and accessories called the Heroes' Relics, fans speculated that these items might return in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. However, a recent trailer revealed that that might not be the case for all of them.

This trailer focused on the members of the Blue Lions house, revealing designs and play styles for eight characters from the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus. A number of these characters hail from noble houses and inherited Heroes' Relics, weapons passed down within their families such the founding of Fodlan. Some Blue Lions were shown wielding their Relics in footage from Three Hopes, while others notably lacked theirs.

In the latest trailer, four Heroes' Relics — weapons once wielded by the heroes of legend, centuries before the events of the game — were shown. Prince Dimitri, leader of the Blue Lions, had his lance Areadbhar, Ingrid was shown with the lance Luin, Sylvain wielded the Lance of Ruin, and Annette took down enemies with the axe Crusher. Crusher's appearance was particularly notable, as Annette in Three Houses was a primarily magic-wielding unit who required significant training in axes to make proper use of her Relic. A previous trailer showed off two other Heroes' Relics, the bow Failnaught and the axe Freikugel, used by Claude and Hilda of the Golden Deer respectively.
