■ New skills have been added for some Legendary Heroes
Of the Heroes that appear in Legendary Hero Remixes, Ephraim: Legendary Lord and Hector: Marquess of Ostia have gained new skills.
○ New skills
・ A Skill
Atk/Def Solo 4
If unit is not adjacent to an ally, grants
Atk/Def+7 during combat.
・ B Skill
Solar Brace II
Enables【Canto (２)】.
Neutralizes unit's penalties that inflict "Special
cooldown charge -X" on unit during combat.
Restores 10 HP to unit after combat.
【Canto (２)】
After an attack, Assist skill, or structure
destruction, unit can move ２ space(s).
(Unit moves according to movement type. Once
per turn. Cannot attack or assist. Only highest
value applied. Does not stack. After moving,
if a skill that grants another action would be
triggered (like with Galeforce), Canto will
trigger after the granted action. Unit's base
movement has no effect on movement granted.
Cannot warp (using skills like Wings of Mercy)
a distance greater than ２ space(s).)
This skill can only be equipped by its original unit.
・ B Skill
Crafty Fighter 3
If unit's HP ≥ 25% and foe initiates combat,
unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack
and inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on
foe per attack. (Only highest value applied.
Does not stack.)
Cannot use: 
・ C Skill
Ostia's Pulse II
At start of turn, grants Def/Res+6 to unit
and allies for one turn, and also, if any unit or
ally's Special cooldown count is at its maximum
value, grants them Special cooldown count-1.
All effects granted only if the number of that
unit or ally's movement type on the current
team is ≤ 2.
This skill can only be equipped by its original unit.
Also, the six Legendary Heroes listed below will appear in Legendary Hero Remixes starting with the Legendary Hero Remix event in Ver. 5.9.0.
・ Hríd: Icy Blade
・ Marth: Hero-King

These six Heroes will also gain new skills over time, so that will be something to look forward to.
