Fire Emblem Heroes – Voting Gauntlet: Fathers and Daughters now live

Fire Emblem Heroes pits fathers against daughters in its latest Voting Gauntlet event, which involves four rounds between now and October 8. Perfectly Nintendo provides a great description of how the Voting Gauntlets work:

This event is basically a tournament to determine who among the characters listed above is the most popular. Here’s how it all works:

• First, you select a Hero to support among those listed above. In doing so, you join their Army. But make sure to think carefully before choosing one, because you will not be able to change after that, not until your Army loses actually. Also, you simply cannot see how many points each Army has until you join.
• Second… win battles! You need to win as many of them as possible. You go to battle by pressing the totally not big green “Battle” button on the screen. Those battles are 3 vs 3, with your team being automatically created using the following allies:

1. you (obviously!)
2. a friend (as long as they’re on the same team as you)
3. someone else from your Army

The leader will be the ally placed in the leftmost slot of the first team.

• Third… cast your votes. Remember those battles you need to win? Wonder why you need to win them in the first place? Well, it’s because you can only vote if you win the right to! Each vote increases your Army’s score, and the number of votes actually gets a boost based on the number of friends you have (you get a boost for each friend, up to 10). Speaking of boosts, you also get one if your leader is the same character as the Hero of the Army you chose (but be careful: the illustration has to be the same!). The Army Score and ranks are updated regularly, so keep checking them out! One thing to keep in mind is that the points counted when you vote are multiplied if your army is at a disadvantage: the multiplier is ((Duration x0.1) + 3.1), so 7.5x maximum. The bonus disappears when the scores get close.
