If she was a 5* with a bad boon/bane, she would've handed her tome to Leo before leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point, I decided I'd switch them both in all of my posts. I also used "flathers" and "feags" a couple times, you know, a merger of the words, but no one seemed to notice. *Sigh* 1 minute ago, Arcanite said: Yeah my horse team needs work too, and I have everything needed to complete it!

Roflolxp54 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 If Camus is going to take a long while longer before he becomes recruitable, I'm putting my feathers on Tharja. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 5* Tharja did so regardless (she might've actually had a decent nature, I don't remember so good). Instead of Leo, it was Lilina. Teach them to not give me Sanaki... Though yes, after Round 1, I did side with the team whose mascot I had since the first summon: Robin, you're up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Finished burning my flags. There was no point in holding onto any. Hopefully the next gauntlet won't have obvious winners or hated characters as a winner for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sire Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (And now for something completely different...) Looks like the only way to get ranked in Cumulative is to side with whoever has the disadvantage so they can take advantage of the multiplier. I managed to show up for a multiplier once, but only got one round in (since I was Team!Robin the entire time.) Then again, I wasn't using a Robin for pure optimization since I didn't have a 5* Robin, so I just did other stuff instead. Getting a good Cumulative score is better than just winning a mere 500 feathers for winning rounds 1 and 2 (for 1,000 total). Not only that, but taking advantage of the multipliers will also increase one's own personal score for that round, earning yet even more feathers. So, I guess for maximum feather gain, side with the "losing side," and exploit the multiplier if the mechanic decides to stay around. As for the mechanic itself, while the numbers were closer, I really didn't feel any "epic battle" when I was tagging along Team Robin. Maybe I just wasn't paying as much attention to this gauntlet like I did with Ephraim, but I still feel Ephraim vs Chrom was the best thing ever and may not be repeated again...

DarkLordIvy Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 CRAP I just realized I'm going to have 100 flags left over by the end of this >:I Basic math has foiled me yet again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur97 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 My flags are gone. We may have lost, but while I haven't done the math, we may have come closer than any other even without the multiplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stewart Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I'm going to have 10 flags left at the end, oops. My apathy towards this final matchup has really not given me much incentive to keep playing this regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, like I said the other day I think the 3x multiplier was a bandaid fix, but it just made things meh in a different way. It just gave an illusion of closeness, and even if it had caused a last minute upset during any of the battles it would have just seemed kind of lame. Chrom vs Ephraim was great since it was a honest straight up match that still managed to be close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnux7 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Holy shit guys!! Robin actually gained more points than Tharja last hour even without multiplier! 0.0 Wtf that's the first time in this match. A bit late though, don't you think Robin? xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the multiplier did was not change the match-ups at all, but it helped prevent bandwagoning on the predicted winner. I think that, along with the decrease in the victory bonus, made the comeback multiplier mechanic a success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same 500 it's always been, but you take a huge hit to overall scoring without it. Said it before, but I'm confident IS knew the multiplier was just for hype and feather distribution rather than attempting to "balance" a popular vote with a clear favorite.

Magnux7 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 If Robin had scored as much as he did last hour, throughout the match, he could have beaten Tharja :P Don't get why people are saving it all for now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
