History UnexpectedCharacter / FireEmblemHeroes

* When it was revealed that there would be a banner focusing on Laguz thanks to Tibarn [[FreezeFrameBonus (And technically Nailah)]], many fans were guessing other popular characters like Ranulf and Lethe would show up. Instead, we got two Herons, who in the original games could only attack with one-use only cards and otherwise had no combat advantages whatsoever, while the more well known Antagonist Naesala was reserved for the Grand Hero Battle. However, the real surprise was who one of the Herons was. Okay, Reyson is a pretty big player to the Tellius Saga's storyline all things considered, but nobody expected Naesala's [[EloquentInMyNativeTongue Non-Ancient Language Challenged]] LoveInterest '''Leanne''' to show up.

* The reveal of '''Ilyana''' as the first 2024 Resplendent threw a colossal curveball. Unlike all previous Resplendent Heroes, Ilyana's base form (which received this Resplendent) wasn't released until late in Book IV, while all previous Resplendent Heroes dated back to Book II at the earliest with a sizable backlog of non-seasonal units who still had not received one, so the sudden jump to a comparatively much more recent unit was the last thing most players expected, much less a jump to a Book IV unit before any Book III units received a Resplendent.

* '''Ilyana''' [[BreakingOldTrends breaks yet another trend]] [[RuleOfThree for the third time in a row]] with her unexpected arrival as the first Resplendent of 2024 by being the very first Resplendent Hero of a Hero introduced during Book IV. Previous Resplendent Heroes consisted only of Heroes introduced during Books I and II, meaning Book III and IV units now qualify.

* ''Fire Emblem Heroes'' released a late April Fool's joke video titled "Moove with Askr", which involves Askr and a few other characters doing fitness exercises. However, in an unusual example of this happening outside the game itself, among the other characters featured in this video, almost ''nobody'' was expecting '''''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemEngage Timerra]]''''' to appear, even though at the time the video was uploaded, she hasn't even been added to ''Heroes'' yet. Her appearing so suddenly despite this shocked a lot of people to say the least. Her finally appearing in the game (albeit on a seasonal banner) six months later was more or less expected though.

* May 2023's Legendary Hero banner has many player not expecting Hinoka to be that month's Legendary Hero as a Red Bow Flier, since most players expected either Male Corrin or Camilla to be candidates as Legendary Heroes first before her, with the former being the most likely following Legendary Male Robin's debut, whereas Hinoka already has another variant released years earlier that also rides a Kinshi and wields a bow and is in the regular summoning pool and was considered off the table by a fair few players as a Legendary Hero.

* ''Fire Emblem Heroes'' released a late April Fool's joke video titled "[[PunnyName Moove]] with Askr", which involves Askr and a few other characters doing fitness exercises. However, among the other characters featured in this video, almost ''nobody'' was expecting '''''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemEngage Timerra]]''''' to appear, even though as of the making of the video, she hasn't even been added to the game yet. Her appearing so suddenly despite this made a lot of people shocked to say the least.

* No one was expecting any of the Brave Heroes to get a Resplendent so quickly as Brave Ike did in February 2021, especially after his original self had already gotten a Resplendent almost a whole year ago, on top of Brave Ike being a GameBreaker.

** Practically nobody predicted that Shanna would get a Resplendent version in early October 2021, due to her being generally seen as fodder for Desperation 3. Additionally, everyone was surprised that Shanna's Resplendent outfit was themed not after Nifl, but Embla instead.
** Early November's Resplendent threw another curve ball. Most people were expecting another new Nifl-themed Resplendent Hero, as well as more Colorless Heroes or a Gen 1 healer to get a Resplendent at some point, but nobody guessed that Serra would be the first staff user to get a Resplendent, much less with the Nifl theme.
* Perhaps the most shocking case for Resplendent Heroes is Aversa, the first of April 2023's Resplendent Heroes, due to [[BreakingOldTrends her being a Heroic Grail unit rather than a summonable unit]] like all previous Resplendent Heroes.

** Another particularly notable entry in this vein is the first alt for Nino, introduced on a Black Fang-themed banner. Never mind her getting a non-seasonal alt before any of the three ''lords'' of her game, her unit type surprised people...because she's a Green Flier (a tome-using flying unit). This was a unit type, and even concept, that wouldn't even ''exist'' in ''Fire Emblem'' until almost a decade after her game was released. Some people suspected she might get an alt given her popularity, since she placed in the top ten of CYL 2's women's side, but she was the first instance of a character getting a unit type that didn't even exist in their home game.

** Especially shocking from the ''Fallen Heroes'' banner was Fallen Robin, a.k.a. Grima. No one was expecting to get a ''FinalBoss'' as a playable character, never mind an EldritchAbomination Final Boss. And fittingly enough, he ended up being [[GameBreaker one of the strongest units in the game]]. People thought that would be the end of it until the female variation was introduced a month later.
** Following in this trend, the ''Darkness Within'' banner had two unexpected characters; Mareeta, and a Berkut alt. Like Hardin, Mareeta was not yet in the game, so people were shocked to see her since her home game (''Thracia 776'') doesn't have a large following. Berkut caught just as many off for similar reasons as Hardin; Berkut isn't a playable character in his home game, so him being playable here as his fallen self was a step in a different direction.
** The third in this type of banner, ''Dark Burdens'' managed to one-up the last somehow. While Demon King Lyon was expected in some way and another feral Corrin was not surprising at all, ''nobody'' expected of all characters ''Ike'' to appear, as not only is it not based on anything that happens in game, its based solely on the ''TabletopGame/FireEmblemCipher'' card [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/8/8d/B12-002SR.png/revision/latest?cb=20180216181258 "The Nightmarish Rampaging Hero, Ike"]], a WhatIf idea if Ike had touched Lehran's Medallion like his father. Compared to the other surprise hero Julia, who at least makes sense since she is mind controlled at one point, Ike is straight out of no where!
** The 2021 Fallen banner had two characters everyone expected, in Fallen versions of Edelgard and Dimitri from ''Three Houses,'' still the newest game in the series at time of writing. A lot of speculation on who else would fill the spot centered on Chrom, as he also has a Cipher card similar to Ike's depicting him as a Risen, one of the zombie mooks from his home game. Instead, there were fallen versions of male and female Morgan, the player character's child from the same game, based on their portrayal as Grima's servants in the Awakening [=DLC=].
** 2022's Fallen banner, "Beyond Control", continued the trend of surprising Fallen Heroes with the debut of ''Fallen Gustav'', which is a zombified version of Gustav after being slain by Hel in Book III. Most players wrote him off to never have a playable variant of his enemy version at all due to his release being around 3 years after the end of Book III, his enemy variant's voice lines being recycled for his Valentine variant[[note]]while Fallen Gustav is not the exact same Gustav as the enemy version from Book III (his playable version has a different epithet, voice lines, and exclusive weapon), but he uses the exact same art and concept[[/note]], and many previous ''Heroes'' male characters such as Freyr and Fáfnir only having seasonal variants after their roles ended in their connected Books. Additionally, none of the Fallen banners that came before "Beyond Control" had ''Heroes'' original characters, making Gustav's addition that much more surprising.

* [[VideoGame/FireEmblemThracia776 Reinhardt]], upon his debut, was one of the most obscure characters introduced in the game, placing 584 on the first CYL poll (which is, in fairness, a lot higher than many of the other ''Thracia 776'' characters). What's even more bizarre is that Reinhardt was an unrecruitable enemy in ''Thracia 776,'' and he did not even appear as an Einherjar or [=SpotPass=] character in ''Fire Emblem Awakening''. This means it had been 17 years since his last and only appearance in the franchise!
* The unexpected victory of Veronica in the second Choose Your Legends contest means that there is a guarantee that she will become playable despite shaping up to be TheDragon for Surtr for a while. And while the story was hinting at a HeelFaceTurn by Veronica, there may be two versions of the Emblian princess available for the player...something which would have not been likely to occur otherwise.
* When the subject of the first Bow Flier came up, the general expectation was that Reina from ''Fates'' would be the one. Intelligent Systems proved everyone wrong by making a variant of Hinoka the first Bow Flier.
* Loki, of all people, was added as part of the Brave Redux banner. Considering that Loki's role in the plot doesn't seem to be over yet, no one was expecting her to be PromotedToPlayable until the end of Book III, at the earliest.
* When it was revealed that there would be a banner focusing on Laguz thanks to Tibarn [[FreezeFrameBonus (And technically Nailah)]], many fans were guessing other popular characters like Ranulf and Lethe would show up. Instead, we got two Herons, who in the original games could only attack with one-use only cards and otherwise had no combat advantages whatsoever, while the more well known Antagonist Naesala was reserved for the Grand Hero Battle. However, the real surprise was who one of the Herons was. Okay, Reyson is a pretty big player to the Tellius Saga's storyline all things considered, but nobody expected Naesala's [[EloquentInMyNativeTongue Non-Ancient Language Challenged]] LoveInterest Leanne to show up.
* The [[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates Kitsune and Wolfskin banner]] added Keaton, Velouria, Kaden, Selkie...as well as [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Panne]] as a Grand Hero Battle reward, who isn't even from the same game as the units on the banner. Most people assumed that Panne would eventually be added considering how heavily advertised beasts are in Book III as well as being one of the most consistently voted characters in the Choose Your Legends polls, but this is the first instance of a character being added in a Grand Hero Battle alongside a banner for a game they're not even from.
* To commemorate the release of ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses Three Houses]]'', ''Heroes'' brought in characters from that game. The main Banner had the usual suspects, being the three house leaders Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude, alongside the female Byleth (Since the male Byleth was already part of a special deal). The Grand Hero Battle unit, however, was a little unexpected. Instead of a major ally like Jeralt or Sothis or a major villain like the Flame Emperor or the Death Knight (who was added a month later), it was ''Kronya'', the female member of "those who slither in the dark". And furthermore, Kronya has very little screentime (with most of it being spent in disguise) who is more likely [[HateSink designed to be disliked since she lacked a lot of depths for a minion and reveled in taunting the players because she's evil]] rather than being a 'cool/pitiable villain' like most villainous characters in ''Heroes'' (Thales and Solon of the same group had bigger presence and seemed more likely to represent "those who slither in the dark"), though many hoped ''Heroes'' would be able to fix that, much like [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Grima]] (though she never received them), while [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones Valter]] already set a precedence of a playable HateSink (though he originally had more screentime). With how little screentime Kronya has, she comes across as an AdvertisedExtra. Some savvy players might note that given how simple and how minor of a role Kronya has, the devs could avoid spoiling the then-recently released ''Three Houses'' more easily compared to characters with more active villainous roles like Thales or Solon.
* After the Choose Your Legends 3 heroes banner were announced in August 2019, the schedule included a corresponding Tempest Trials to go alongside the banner. However, not many people expected the free reward unit to be the regular variant of Sigrun, the commander of Begnion's Holy Guard and Sanaki's bodyguard. She's notably the first unit since Shigure (who precedes her by well over a year) to debut as a seasonal first, then finally get her regular version in the game.
* The 9/19/2019 banner brings in several characters from ''New Mystery of the Emblem'', including ''Bantu'' of all people. Bantu was a random manakete whose only notable qualities were being the first male manakete in the series and recruiting the much better and more important Tiki, and he landed somewhere in the 400s range during Choose Your Legends 2017 and 2018, making him a very out of left field choice. Notably, he's also the second unit to be added post-launch to go straight to the 3/4* pool.
* For the debut of Book IV and the inclusion of new ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemThracia776 Thracia 776]]'' characters, the 38th Grand Hero Battle unit... is ''Kempf''. That's right, the jerk who antagonizes both Reinhardt and Olwen in their home game (and for this site, coining the [[Characters/FireEmblemAntagonistArchetypes 'egotistical evil subordinate' antagonist archetype]]), yet is more infamously know among the fandom for ''Thracia 776''[='s=] poorly-age FanTranslation's portrayal of him. ''[[MemeticMutation IN AMERICA!]]''

* After being largely ignored in favor of their more successful successors, ([[BaseBreakingCharacter some]]) fans were delightfully surprised by the ''Heroes of Light and Shadow'' Banner featuring the male ''and'' female versions of Kris. This means all physical Avatars are ''finally'' in Heroes.
* With all the Choose Your Legends 4 heroes being from ''Three Houses'', you expect the accompanying Grand Hero Battle who was revealed in Mid-August 2020's FEH Channel to from the same game, or at least a popular character, right? Nope, it's ''Jorge'' from the Tellius games as a Blue Bow Infantry. As in, one of the Merchant Twins Jorge. While he did place 12th for the male division and 27th overall for [=CYL4=] with 6728 votes, people suspected and later confirmed from a certain player that he was botted to have that many votes in the first place. Reactions were mixed, to say the least.
* For the "Princess of Bern" banner that features ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade'', while Melady, Dieck, and Guinivere were expected to be released, not many were expecting ''Merlinus'' to be released as well, with him being a Colorless Dagger Cavalier, where in his home game he is a defenseless moving caravan, and as the 4* focus unit on the banner to boot, although he has more votes in Choose Your Legends 4 than the other three[[note]]110th place with 1456 votes compared to 147th place with 1071 votes for Dieck, 256th place with 538 votes for Guinivere, and 277th place with 477 votes for Melady, whereas in Choose Your Legends 3 Dieck had the most votes of the four with 196th place with 1231 votes compared to 307th with 666 votes for Melady, 330th place with 565 votes for Guinivere, and 426th place with 272 votes for Merlinus, who interestingly in Choose Your Legends 3 is lower than the young variant of Guinivere from ''The Blazing Blade'', who placed 388th with 364 votes[[/note]].
* The Grand Hero Battle choice for the Shared Purpose banner, which featured characters from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThracia776'', is Veld. While he is his game's FinalBoss (although an AntiClimaxBoss to a NintendoHard game), many were surprised because in the whole picture of Jugdral chaos, Veld was more of an underling to Manfroy, and he only got 13 votes in the previous Choose Your Legends event. It wasn't the lowest, but he was ''so close'' to entering that place, with only 2 votes above the three-way tie of losers (Halcyon, Hayden, and Dalvin), all of it making his choice for the Grand Hero Battle more unexpected, and Veld became the lowest rated character to ever be added to the game.
* The Enduring Legacy banner featured the surprise, unexpected appearance of Annand of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar'', best known as Erinys' CoolBigSis that ended up biting the dust in her main chapter. The more unexpected choice, however, is the Grand Hero Battle unit: Díthorba. Despite her addition to the votable roster of CYL 5, Díthorba originally just came off as a rather random enemy Falcon Knight general whose only significance was that she, Annand, and Erinys used to be in the same training squad (she gets an expanded background post-mortem in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThracia776'' where it turned out she's the mother of a recruitable Pegasus Knight, Misha, over there). If someone was expected from that group, people would have thought of Pamela, the one who actually killed Annand; or since Lex was also in the banner, they would've expected [[ArchnemesisDad Lombard]] so the players can get access to the [[AncestralWeapon Helswath]]. This made Díthorba's inclusion come off as even more of a surprise.
* Generally, Tempest Trials associated with the seasonal banners tend to have the Duo/Harmonic unit, someone in their banner, or at least someone who is associated with their banner as the boss waiting for you. How about the Tempest Trials tied with Summer's Dream in early July 2021? Expecting to fight Summer Freyja or Summer Caeda/Plumeria? Nope. The Tempest Trials boss is a brand new character, ''Nifl'', who has no connection to any of the new Special Heroes whatsoever. When people datamined her, they were really surprised to see her - with people feeling like Book II's arc, which involves Fjorm living on borrowed time after performing the Rite of Frost, was forgotten.
** That's not the end of it, as the very next banner, which was expected to be a ''Fates'' banner, had another new addition in the form of Nifl herself being playable right after the conclusion of her Tempest Trials. While some expected her to be that month's Mythic, she turned out to be a normal Hero instead, and wasn't expected to be released on a standard New Heroes banner, less so as a normal Hero, as the base forms of ''Heroes'' characters had exclusively been Mythic Heroes ever since Book III.
* With the release of Ascended Fjorm and Laegjarn, everyone was expecting new Ascendant variants of characters outside of ''Heroes'', such as Ike, Soren, Marth, and a few others to be first in line for an Ascendant. In January 2022, the first non-Heroes Ascended Hero was released, however, you would be hard-pressed to find a single person who expected ''Joshua'' of all characters to get an Ascended variant.

* When an axe-user was teased for 2019's Valentine's Day banner, few expected it to be ''Greil'', a character who not only lacks a non-seasonal variant in ''Heroes'', but was an NPC in [[VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance his home game]].

* The Bridal Grace features characters from ''The Binding Blade'', with Shanna, Juno, Zelot, and Thea accompanying Bridal Harmonized Catria from ''Shadows of Valentia'', where the connection between those four are already strong, and Catria going alongside Caeda and Marth from previous Bridal events. The odd one out, however, is ''Saul'', the CasanovaWannabe Priest from ''The Binding Blade''. While he was included because he is a priest (and therefore can be an official celebrant for weddings), his love for others is through his womanizing ways, he doesn't share a support with the other four as well, the other females he can support with in ''The Binding Blade'' don't end well for him, and he even doesn't marry anyone in his ending.
* A ContentLeak prematurely revealed the lineup for the Halloween 2021 Special Heroes banner, "Shared Bounty", which followed in Dragons Harvest's footsteps by featuring only dragons: male [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Grima]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn Kurthnaga]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses Rhea, and Sothis]] as a Duo Hero. However, the Tempest Trial unit was not revealed on the lineup. Because the male version of Grima complemented his female variant from the previous year, and Kurthnaga received a Halloween alt to complement Dheginsea's, many people guessed that the freebie would correspond to another character from "Dragon's Harvest", with guesses including from Adult Tiki (to complement young Tiki), Nils (to complement Ninian), or another Goldoa dragon like Nasir or Almedha (to complement Ena). However, everyone's guesses were proven wrong when it was revealed that [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade Sophia]] was the freebie of the banner instead.
* When the silhouettes for the second Summer 2022 Special Heroes banner, "Taken by the Tide", were unveiled, many people thought that the two silhouettes were of Fjorm and Nifl. However, once the banner trailer dropped, while Nifl did actually show up, the short-haired silhouette was revealed to be [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones Lyon]] instead of Fjorm, to the surprise of many. The characters who weren't in the silhouettes were more or less expected, making Lyon's appearance on this banner very shocking.

* With the reveal of Colorless Tomes included in the 4.3.0 update in early March 2020, there were predictions on who the 9th Mythic Hero is, with Rhea, Ashera, and Athos being the most common picks. When the trailer dropped in Late March 2020, '''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade Bramimond]]''', Athos' ally in the Eight Legends in the Elibe Saga, was revealed to be the one who would be the first to wield the Colorless Tome in ''Heroes'', and more unexpected since while the three predicted can participate in combat in their home games, Bramimond did not participate in any combat at all in ''The Blazing Blade''.
* The 17th Mythic Hero in late July 2021 threw a massive curve ball, to say the least. Many predicted that the next Mythic Hero was going to be blue since it was going to be the first rerun of Seiros on a Mythic Hero banner following previous patterns. When Nifl was revealed earlier in the month as the first Dragon Cavalry unit that is also blue and was a popular pick, she was later shoved to the regular hero slot in the "Dawning Reality & Nifl" banner in mid-July 2021, and so players started guessing Freyr or Anankos, with the latter also going alongside the ''Fates'' characters of the "Dawning Reality" part of the banner. Pretty much nobody was predicting '''Ullr''', one of the Twelve Crusaders of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar'', wielder of the holy bow Yewfelle, and the ancestor of Edain and Brigid/Eyvel, as a Blue Bow Infantry and the 17th Mythic Hero. Notably, she was added before either of the Yngvi siblings officially [[note]]at the time of Ullr's release, Brigid only had her Pirate variant released and her Eyvel identity from ''Thracia 776'' was a Swordmaster and therefore does not wield bows or Yewfelle at all[[/note]]; and she's the first representative of the Twelve Crusaders instead of one of the more famous Crusaders like Baldr, Fjalar, Ced, Od or Njörun, who are ancestors of more major characters (Sigurd/Seliph, Arvis, Lewyn, Ayra/Shannan, Quan/Leif respectively), or even Thrud who'd be more known memetically[[note]]While Thrud is the ancestor of both Tailtiu and Ishtar, one of his minor descendants, Reinhardt, is known to look like him, being revered as 'the second coming of Crusader Thrud', and in the scope of ''Heroes'', Reinhardt is a prominent MemeticBadass and historical GameBreaker[[/note]].

* November 2021's Mythic Hero banner takes a strange turn, as not only is it a Legendary ''and'' Mythic Hero banner, but Eitri, who was the most common prediction, was released simultaneously with ''Thórr'', who, while expected to be PromotedToPlayable at some point, came much earlier than what players predicted due to Thórr not being relevant in the main story yet at the time of her release, even though she has importance in the "Ice & Flame" Tempest Trials+ series, which was running concurrently with Book V. Thórr's simultaneous release with Eitri was also odd as there is barely any connection with the two, whereas Fáfnir was the more common prediction to be released with Eitri since there is a good connection between those two, following Mythic Hero banner's simultaneous release of Triandra and Freyja in November 2020, and even stranger is that Eitri is the ''Legendary'' Hero instead of a Mythic one, whereas Thórr is the Mythic Hero on that banner. However, a leak revealed around a month before the banner's release hinted that Eitri was a Legendary Hero and Fáfnir wasn't going to be released alongside Eitri in that banner, but only through [[AbsenceOfEvidence lack of details of Fáfnir in the leak]][[note]]The leak detailed that there are two different versions of Eitri, one being her enemy variant and other being her playable "mythic" one, but listed "Legend" after Eitri's name, which is usually the tag to list Legendary Heroes whereas Mythic Heroes has the "God" tag instead, but did not list Fáfnir at all, which the leaker assumed that the enemy variant was going to be the same one as his playable one, which is not the case, while they did miss that Thórr was also getting a playable variant as well even though there was an enemy variant of Thórr in the "Ice & Flame 5" Tempest Trials+ as well[[/note]].
* January 2022's Mythic Hero banner threw another curveball, but not as big as Ullr. The most common prediction was Green, since it was a rerun of both Ótr and Eitri, and so there was some prediction for Dheginsea and Medeus. Not many predicted that '''Elimine''' from ''The Binding Blade'' was the one revealed, who's main line of fame was her cameo in ''VideoGame/MarioKartDoubleDash'' if one links their ''The Blazing Blade'' game, making her the first Legendary/Mythic staff unit. Even fewer people expected her to be a Flying unit as well.

* ''Fire Emblem Heroes'' released a late April Fool's joke video titled "[[PunnyName Moove]] with Askr", which involves Askr and a few other characters doing fitness exercises. However, among the other characters featured in this video, almost ''nobody'' was expecting '''''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemEngage Timerra]]''''' to appear, even though as of the making of this video, she hasn't even been added to the game yet. Her appearing so suddenly despite this made a lot of people shocked to say the least.
