Fire Emblem Heroes is getting a brand new mode called Grand Conquest.

The mode was announced during the latest Feh Channel update. The mode randomly places players in one of three armies as they battle it out to control the most territory.

The map is divided into 30 areas with each army starting out with 10. The mode uses its own stamina meter with players getting one stamina per hour and holding up to eight at a time.

Areas are conquered by spending a stamina point and then playing through a Rival Domains-style battle. Units can destroy enemy camps to convert them to their side, which grants warp points between camps and also heals the unit inside the camp every turn. The battle is won after either an army’s fortress is destroyed or 10 turns pass, whichever comes first.

After the battle, the player earns points based on the number of enemy units defeated, camps held, fortress health, and enemy fortress damage. You can also earn a score bonus based on the number of allies fighting in the map. The enemy army can also earn points to defend the territory. The army that earns the most points by the time of the tally every two hours takes the territory. As you earn points, your GC Tier grows which adds bonus points to neighboring territories after battle and grants you bonus orbs, stamina, and more.

The first Grand Conquest event starts at 12:00 a.m. PT / 3:00 a.m. ET on April 13 and lasts until April 18 at 11:59 p.m. PT / 2:59 p.m. PT. The developers will make some changes to the event based on player feedback. Players will get 20 orbs by logging in between April 13 and May 9 to commemorate the event.
