New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on January 13, 2021) follows:
Fire Emblem Heroes is the first installment of the iconic saga for mobile devices. The game is available for both Android and iOS and has been hugely successful since its launch in 2017.
Like other Fire Emblem versions on traditional consoles, Heroes is a tactical role game, but uses a free-to-play format to enhance its expansion.
That being said, in the last few days, Fire Emblem Heroes players have been reporting a crashing issue when trying to enter the Grand Conquests event and view friend lists (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).
Fire Emblem Heroes crashing on Grand Conquests event
According to multiple reports, the Grand Conquests event in Fire Emblem Heroes is unplayable for many, as the game suffers from a crashing issue when trying to enter.
Oh thank god! Thought it was just me. FEH will randomly crash for me ever since I updated to the latest iOS. Well, I say randomly, but I can usually predict most of them; if someone calls me or if an alarm/reminder goes off. But it will still randomly crash. But this time, I can’t even go into grand conquest.

Glitchy mess
Does anyone know why is FEH so… broken? Last month especially; Elm’s weapon, crashing friend list, cropped interface, screwed dark mode, wrong skills’ description/usage, and now Grand Conquest. Is there something bigger going on, IS?
Edit: also male L!Byleth battle lmao
Edit2: also having less than max HP in baracks, and counterattacking without CC/DC
