Goodness, this is funnier than what I expected! Now I have to consider this well. 1510 flags grants me enough for 7.5 hours while wasting the 10 flags whenever, if M!Corrin has about 30 hours of multipliers then the best course of action would be to spend starting around the 6x multiplier right?
That's my plan. I'm likely to wait until 6.5x if there's enough of a gap to ensure that MCorrin keeps the multiplier for the remainder of the round.

Except every time a character from the older games has a shot at winning, someone always starts accusing anti 3ds bias for it. Either that or hoping to see a Corrin vs Corrin final "just to see the salt". I didn't even start that argument.
The concept of wanting a character to win just to piss off others simply does not sit well with me. Trying to use "anti 3ds salt" to shift the blame just makes it worse.
Actually, there isn't an argument here and even if there was, you did start it. All I did is express bemusement about the readily apparent hate that goes around for the 3DS games. I'm not sure why you even felt a need to comment on that.
Whether it sits well with you or not, you proved my point.

In team Fae I was used to have the multiplier almost all the time, when can I expect one for team Ninian?
If M!Corrin behave like Fae, Ninian will get 1-3 multipliers all round, building an huge lead each time. Depending on when her last one comes tomorrow, she could get upset like Tiki. A Corrin v Corrin finals will have me giggling at the massive amount of anti-3DS games salt.

Hah, you think that's bad? Have you been following Ninian vs Fae? Poor Fae has had two multipliers in a row now I think, and she's still 1.5 billion points behind. It makes me feel a little bad honestly...
Fae had like 7-8 bonuses in a row, then she gave Ninian a bonus; afterwards she's been in bonus ever since.

I remember hearing someone say the new multiplier would be 2.5. The spreadsheet currently says the largest it could be is 3.1. But I do think it means I'll save flags for later, whereas I used to burn them whenever the multiplier appeared.
I'll start burning flags for my baby chicken at 6x bonus.

The point disparity needed to activate it is bigger, iirc. How much bigger I'm not sure on.
It's smaller, a lot smaller.
While I hate the multiplier, I have to admit, I'm curious to see how this basically random gauntlet will work when you have two teams that aren't completely lopsided.
I think Ninian will beat our baby chicken by overwhelming numbers. Fae's team just won't have enough flags to take advantage of all the multipliers. But closer matches like the semifinals and finals who knows?

Yeah, I'm on Team Fae, and I've been using Flags faster than I can earn them. Maybe their trying to make it so everybody spends their flags early so nobody has any left for a last minute upset.
I would hold some flags, it's clear the bonus is going to be active for much of tomorrow. The developers actually did it, they went Full (Offensive word for the developmentally disabled).
This is likely to be really random. Fae could actually steal so long as her team holds enough flags for tomorrow.

I did Lunatic 5 straight through, I was at 100K before the first week was done.
It wasn't much of a grind. Literally Reinhardt or Robin or any decent blue mage, a dancer, and a bonus unit can do most runs easily and in less than 5 minutes.
My team this time was Ike, Reinhardt, Elincia, and PA!Azura.

And may the gods have mercy on your soul if all three of your units are the mascot.
This is why I try to play with a lowbie version of the mascot.

You're just sounding bitter and salty.
Who's bitter sounding?
(I admit to salt)
But I really don't think Voting Gauntlet fits. It's more like a Mario Party game now. Maybe something abstract like Smash Gauntlet!

The Voting Gauntlet, though, counts "points" as votes and not "people".
Victory is not determined by counting a number of people. It's determined by counting a number of votes.
Good point. How about "Voting, defined as points which may or may not have anything to do with the effort you and your team put in, gauntlet." I have to admit, that does sound better and more accurate.

"Voting" refers to the act of expressing your choice and has nothing to do with how those votes are scored. Wiki has an article with a good smattering of voting systems used in real-life elections, referendums, etc.
The majority of those systems define victory as having the most votes, either directly or indirectly. Voting gauntlet is a terrible name for this....not really sure what to call this now. Maybe "Voting, unless you're beating the other team too badly, then you may lose because reasons gauntlet." Doesn't roll off the tongue, but more accurate.

I'm not bored and I think they are doing fine adding content at a very quick clip.
I think you just have to find your own enjoyment in this game. I had a fun time in Arena Assault this week trying to learn how the build a high value first team. I'm actually enjoying these three heroes quests, because they are forcing me to use sub-par units like Fir, if only for a little bit.

Up to 14 with a few more closing in.

Speaking of multipliers, I saw someone saw earlier that it will be triggering at 2.5% difference, instead of 10%. I haven't been able to find that anywhere official. Can anyone confirm or deny that?
I could actually see that, make the whole thing random. I thought they would make it longer, but going Full Stupid might actually be better. Then there's literally no way to even reliably guess who will win.
Next I guess they will flip a coin to see who wins.
-
Ah, the return of the worst game mode. It really doesn't matter who is in the gauntlet since the multiplier will make it more 'exciting'.
I'm just hoping I have or can pull a low level character from the gauntlet so I can auto-battle for the feathers.

200 orbs in and wound up with:
- Azura (Neutral IV)
- Olivia (+Attack, -Res)
- Inigo (-Speed, +Defense)
- Shigure (-Speed, HP)
- Sonya (+Speed, -Res) <- This was such a pleasant surprise since my other two Sonya pulls were -Speed
- Jakob (-Speed, +Def) 3 orb final pull on the same session as Sonya.
Probably to no one's surprise, I'm absolutely amazed at my luck on this banner. I have no more orbs, but don't need any until next banner.

Trampled all over it with Horse Emblem. 1 shot for each difficulty.
Ditto, on Infernal I did have to switch out Xander for Abel, but:
Brave weapons + Horse emblem = cake

Man if there's one thing this fanbase is good at regardless of preferences or anything else, it's forcing divisions amongst ourselves for dumb shit like which game or character you like.
"Lyn fans this" "Ike fans that". I've seen no Lyn fans doxxing here and no Ike fans gloating here. If it's a problem outside of this website, maybe it's not something attributable to those characters' fans but a problem with those specific people who are acting like this. The only thing you're achieving by flaming the fanbases is creating animosity where there shouldn't be any. Then you have people like me who are fans of a majority of the characters in this gauntlet who are both happy Ike won but would've also been fine with a different result ALSO being made to feel like we can't express congratulations for Ike because it'll just be seen as arrogant.
Agreed, I'm happy Ike won, but also bitter at HOW Lyn lost, not that she lost. I'm a fan of the series first of all.

I have to agree that after this gauntlet one thing is clear to me: The Lyn fanbase is more obnoxious than either the Ike or Lucina fanbase, and is the most obnoxious fanbase in all of Fire Emblem. People need to get off of this Lyn high horse thinking that she is above and beyond better than any other character and throwing their salt for her losing towards other character fanbases.
There is much one could say about this post, but it's contradictions are apparent. You denounce and attack a group of people the vast majority of whom you don't know and have given you no reason to attack. And what's best is you call them obnoxious. Reminds me of an old saying about pots and kettles.

I agree, Camilla was the wildcard in this gauntlet. It would be boring if it was always the popular character winning each match. Shame this gauntlet will make her haters dislike her even more.
If IS said, "Occasionally we're just going to to reverse the results and let the loser win because it's boring for a game to be fair," would that be cool too?
Because that's exactly how this works now. I genuinely hope they just do away with this game mode.

Oh, it's the last hour and no multipliers, Camilla can't win now. lol
But I'm glad this is finally about to end! IKE IS OFFICIALLY FIRST MALE WINNER! :D
That's nice. I wish it were a clean victory and not this...whatever this game is supposed to be now. But thankfully it's done for a month.

I'm supporting Brave Lyn. I would anyway, but she's going to be a full on goddess after her support hits S rank.

I have 8, I don't go out of my way to do it. The last Valentian TT helped me max out Alm, Gray, Delthea, Sonya, Celica, Genny and my dancers except Ninian.

Is that a bit of salt I detect?
