Kinda doesn't matter at this point. There were so many multipliers this round I have a great score and will likely do better than I would even losing the 500 feather bonus. I have nothing against Ike and happy that his fans get to see him defeat the waifus. But I can't help but wonder how my Lady Lyn would have done if not cheated out of victory at the last minute.

Yes, you're right. Chrom was up against the benchlord Alphonse and beat him badly.

I lost in the first round in the Chrom v. Ephraim match. Still the best match in the short history of this game.

Not at all, remember he was only up against one 3DS male and is a very popular character even given the amount of time. Plus, Camilla was far from the most popular character on the girl side. She needed the multiplier to get into the finals. I think Ike went into the finals the clear favorite.

Well that would explain it. Just for comparison, I'm ranged 8,028 with a score of 1,676,610. I'm guessing you've missed every multiplier round for your team?

What's your cumulative score?

Why bother now? What's exciting about telling the team that has more supporters, you lose because of a mechanic you can't in any meaningful way plan for or control. Frankly it would be more exciting if we bet on the outcome and just rolled dice to see which character wins. Divorced from popularity or support, what's the purpose of the "game" other than gambling that your personal strategy can net you more feathers. For example, I switched to team Camilla and I am near certain to wind up with many more feathers than I would under Ike. Is that the point now? Just feather maximization?

Lyn's fans had the gauntlet stolen from under them. We don't know who would win in a match of Ike v. Lyn and we may never know. The game didn't let the team who actually had more supporters win. It's not really that difficult to understand why people are upset. So really, whether Ike wins as expected or Camilla gets a double steal it really doesn't matter as there is no competition here anyway. This 'contest' wouldn't be any less valid if we pulled names out of a hat.

Removing the multiplier so the character that deserves to win, wins. The villain in this gauntlet is not Camilla. She was just the receiver of stolen goods not the thief.

So? Why is that a problem? It's still a massacre now. It's just a mechanic comes in and takes the victory away from the other team so that people find it more "exciting".

I'm sorry if everyone knows this already, but if you are struggling with bad matchups just go in with a sub-20 character. Your selected friend will still likely be level 40 and can auto-battle the game.

There looks to be at least one more multiplier; maybe two. Ike is about 60% to the threshold and Camilla has slowed.

Besides wanting to further show the multiplier for the fraud it is, I joined Camilla because I had a 4* and a ton of feathers. I promoted her, dragging her back to level 1. I got her to the twenties and then stopped. I always get a level 40 friend that makes almost any match a snap.

I got two Brave Lyns; one neutral (freebie) another +SPD, -RES. I slapped them, regular Lyn and Azura on my defense team. I got Four wins in 24 hours. Just playing them in chain challenges is silly they are so good. Brave Lyn may be the best character in the game, if 1 is good, two are better.

No, everyone. Your hate has made you powerful! Give into your anger. With each passing moment you make yourself more Camilla's servant.

Right, there shouldn't be any strategy. Players who play the most rank highest and the team that has the most supporters wins. Now it might as well be random.

The thing is, thousands of players can't play strategically together. Besides different languages, time zones and the like, this game also puts you in competition with your own team. This is why the multiplier is such BS. You can't play to it because your individual efforts don't have enough of an effect.

I'm going to do everything I can to see Ike lose. Nothing against Ike, but the complaints will be that much greater if Camilla double-upsets the two most popular characters in FE.

Yup. Ike being so popular will probably mean his team only gets a couple of multiplier rounds early on.

You know Lyn losing to the multiplier isn't so bad, but what is really annoying is that there is literally no way for players to have any effect on the outcome. I was hoping that Camilla got her multiplier 3-4 hours ago but it had to happen at the last minute. With thousands of unconnected players you can't use any kind of strategy because your individual efforts hardly matter.

I'm switching to Camilla. I suspect she'll have more multiplier rounds and since this whole game mode is a joke, why not troll. It would be nice to see Camilla win twice.

No multiplier for Lyn, Camilla DIDN'T over shoot.

In the next few hours, Camilla will get a multiplier. After that hour, we'll have a better sense of what to do. If Camilla cannot do more than barely take the lead, then we know there will likely not ever be any more multiplier hours for Lyn. At that point it's safe to use your flags, although you can save them as well for Ike. If Camilla cannot even close the 750 million gap, then I think the game is won and you just need to play as you will.

It's looking like Team Camilla might not be large enough to build much of a lead even with a multiplier.

I guess the problem comes to this. I do not find anything interesting in a rigged match. So I reject your premise that the multiplier EVER makes things more interesting. In my opinion it does nothing but inject an arbitrary and capricious element that you can't even work around because you have no meaningful way to affect the others on your team. So for me, the multiplier fixed something that didn't need fixing. Regarding your football example, that is inapposite to this game. In football you have one team trying to advance the ball against another team trying to stop them. Failing to advance 10 yards only comes because the defense stopped you. The multiplier would be more akin to if you manage to advance 30 yards the other team gets to take the ball back 25 yards of your progress away, because reasons.
