Robert Stewart Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) 10 minutes ago, Falcom said: I think the reason Ephraim is Minerva is because Ephraim was the beloved underdog. Minerva would probably fit that since people are actually rooting her *cough @Arcanite cough* for this month's gauntlet despite knowing full well that they aren't beating Camilla. Cordelia would be Chrom because well... people like Chrom as much as they like Cordelia (after all they were chosen for the Summer Scramble DLC). As such, I don't think Hinoka should be Chrom. Everything else seems fine (i'll draw the line with Cherche and Sharena though). I suppose. I was thinking more in terms of how the bracket will likely play out. My predictions/guesses: 1st Round: Beruka will lose no matter who she's up against. Cherche will win if up against Beruka. She might have a shot against Minerva due to Awakening popularity, but I have a feeling most of the Awakening fans will go to Cordelia. She'll get destroyed if up against Camilla. For Palla and Subaki, it's hard to say. If they're up against Hinoka and Cordelia, they're definitely going to lose. But if they're up against each other I could see it going either way. Hinoka will win if she's not up against Cordelia. Same for Minerva if she's not up against Camilla. See previous remarks for if she's against Cherche. 2nd round: Camilla and Cordelia will win no matter who they're up against. 3rd Round: Might be close, but I'll call it for Camilla.

Because none of these characters are worth caring about? Because this is just a silly event? Because feathers are in short supply and any extra boost helps?

Carnation Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Cherche may be my favorite of them all, but I'm going to stay loyal to my favorite class! I'll vote for either Palla or Subaki, although their chances to win are quite slim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I think that the winning team shouldn't get anything for being the winning team. Maybe they could get special art, or all the winners could get special "Voting Gauntlet" versions down the line? Or a focus with various gauntlet winners, or something. Having these rewards will just lead to people jumping on whoever they think is going to win and inflating the numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't feel like I benefit much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXFinalEmblemXx Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 As much as I like Camilla, I'm going for Minerva in this one. I haven't even played either of her games but she's such a good unit in this game that I have to back her up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizzard of soz Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I think I'm gonna go Tsubaki because underdog and I have him (though I never played Hoshido route I always remember wanting him for myself when you fight him on Nohr path, love tanky pegs) and then Cherche because I also have her and I like her alright. I really love Minerva but I don't have her, might end up throwing my support behind her anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiran Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I'm going to go with Minerva if 1. She doesn't go against Camilla in round 1 2. I don't pull Cordelia or Hinoka by the time voting gauntlet arrives. I would have liked it if Catria had made the cut. But alas it was not meant to be.

JJ48 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I keep seeing people mentioning which units they actually have influencing their decisions. I thought the gauntlet was just picking a character to support. Do you get a bonus if you actually have the unit, then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do, but it's a relatively small bonus (you get a max of 110 points per battle instead of 100, before flags), so you're still encouraged to support your fave whether or not you have them!

AbsoluteZer0Nova Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I am joining Team Minerva. She was one of the few characters who I actually liked from Shadow Dragon which is my least favorite game in the series partly due to there being hardly any other characters getting character exposure (no supports hurts) but she had a nice story development going on. Team Camilla is likely going to win but I'm going with Minerva especially because of this here. Let's change the tide of this gauntlet my fellow Red Dragoons!

Well yeah, using the hero gives a 10% bonus. Base points is 10 which increases to 100 if you have 10 friends. So if you have the hero you would donate 110 points. I can explain other things if you have any questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book Bro Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Camilla is gonna sweep the competition. They should really stop putting in one mega popular character in these things. I'll support Minerva at first I guess just to try and get her to the second round and then switch to Camilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lushen Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Final battle will be Minerva v. Camilla. Personally, I'm upset there's no male/female breaker like the last one. Too many people (reddit) just go with their waifu's which gives females an unfair advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about everyone's a female in this gauntlet though, so no one's at an unfair advantage for gender reasons (except Subaki.

Michelaar Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I really like these banners. I have a lvl 40 5* Hinoka (was my first 5* actually) so I might go with her. But I don't know yet really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
