False enemy or true friend?
Ephraim counters all lovely idiot sword lord anime looking garbage faces. He is the most powerful of the lords represented here.

I mean ya Ike or Hector or a Not lovely Eliwood or Lyn would cleave him in half, but for he's the best in that bucket.

Cool, I'd rather use the feathers on something I don't have. Which now goes to a 5^* Spear.

I mean I think Ike doesn't technically get to be a part of this, because he's not royalty but isn't Hector a king or something?

I think he's just like a duke or something, but the leader of an alliance of smaller territories.

Edit: Marquess, apparently?

A 17 orb pull got me Hinoka. I haven't pulled a focus unit since three Julia dupes and a single Klein. She's no Taco or Lobster but I guess she's better than Sakura at least.

Wait, so you're rank in the voting challenge literally only is as high as the flags you spend?

And there is a set limit to the number of flags that you can have?

And there is no way to buy flags?

Your rank within each individual match-up is determined by how many of your finite flags you choose to spend. Trying to maximize your feather payouts is probably the most complicated strategic decision in the game, because you have to predict how many people will join your team and how many of their flags they'll spend when. I mean, you could join Team Lucina for three guaranteed wins in a row, but it's also harder to rank highly within a larger team. Maybe Lucina's the best choice anyway, but I don't think it's obvious.

The overall ranking is just a matter of who can play as close to exactly every half hour as possible, and relatively uninteresting.

To keep people logging in every half hour to drive their prince/princess to victory.

It's a popularity contest with mild tactical elements.

This is really where Abel is awesome compared to other blues and hinoka in particular. Swordkiller or w/e means he doubles sword lords on defense as well as offense. So you can bait or use the cav move advantage which gives him a lot more tactical uses.

Imho Effie, Abel, and Azura are the best lances in the game right now just based on their individual power and skills. Though in terms of Blues CorrinF and RobinM are probably up there or beyond.

For some reason, I'm idly wondering what would happen if they had a contest like this, but announced that everyone will get a copy of the winning character! I'm guessing that in this case a bunch of people would get hyped about getting a free Lucina, but I have to wonder what response it would receive exactly from people...

I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

Yeah making them cost 5 stamina or something would be cool, and would allow whales to filter to the top and get the warm fuzzy feelings that convince them to subsidize me playing for free

I like how it says "same" when the lead is only small, makes me wonder if they do anything special, or at least some sort of acknowledgment, in the event of such a "draw". I imagine the most that would happen though is that the guy who got more votes would still win, but they might mention on twitter or in the announcements that they were impressed with how close it was. Perhaps give a few pity feathers (like, 1/5th or the feathers for being a winner) to the loser for putting up such a good fight.

When Lucina has a lead in the billions, a couple million really is just statistical noise.

Small note, the google playstore has Lucina on the Heroes app. Not saying that heavily contributes, but it is the first thing even super casual people will recognize in-game.
