What's the absolute best nature for Subaki? I got so many of them I could reach +15 probably
at least it wasn't Elise or you'd have to...

Like 5 star? Feed them all to better characters for Quick Riposte 2/3.What's the absolute best nature for Subaki? I got so many of them I could reach +15 probably

At least now I don't have to deal with using 3 Summer Robins against a Hector. I assume that Team Corrin is much more competent?
Just as the spreadsheet and math have predicted, Gaius won solely because of multiplier, AGAIN. At this rate, the multiplier is officially the electoral college; you are more likely to win if you are more popular but there is some serious chance you can still lose (unless the disparity is so huge like Corrin v. Elise). And Gaius is like, if you are literally the first one in FEH's history to win just because of multiplier, you might as well also be the second. lol
Probably won't be the third though, but Scorn really only just barely escaped the same fate of "last hour multiplier upset" herself this round.

Gaius got a multiplier 2 hours ago that put him ahead and Leo won't be able to catch up in the last hour.

Are people mad or surprised? The multiplier is supposed to give chances.

Just. Let. Popular. Characters. Win.
the only reason people bitched about it in the first place was cause they couldn't handle 3DS characters winning, and if IS really wanted to address that maybe they should, I don't know, put Ike in a gauntlet instead of resorting to backhanded measures
so? the entire mode needs to be overhauled, multipliers only cause more issues

I'm mad salty that I couldn't pull a Summer Gaius. Should have extended the Ylissean Summer banner for a week.
Multiplier is only thing that gives the Guantelt value right now. Boring as fuck the other way, you know who is going to win before it starts and was all about who could grind out the most battles in a week window. With this at least there is trying to time your flags, deciding between underdog/winner to maximize overall and per round flags.
Yeah. As an anti-grinding person, I'm all for flags and multipliers. I even consider them QoL improvement because you just use your flags when multipliers hit (and probably when you need that extra push to make tier cut-offs) and you are pretty much done, as fights without flags don't make much difference.
As a result, I do think the gauntlets now is better than the gauntlets 5 months ago. But that is not to say it is perfect; it still feels too random at its current form. That said, I don't know how exactly they can improve from here either, because that really depends on what IS want to achieve; maybe they really like the randomness. Anyway, things like "multiplier only applies to team scores, not personal scores" can still be a good start, but who really knows.
Chrom Vs Ephraim was easily the most exciting round I've played in a voting gauntlet and that was before the multiplier.

Sorry, imgur was being dumb and I thought Google drive was an okay replacement. Won't make that mistake again.
Unless this doesn't work again and I look like a fool lol.

Did someone steal your candy
You do know that basically 50/50 matches are super rare right? And it really needs to be 50/50, any deviation without multiplier means the round is decided after the first hour.
Looks like you already have a solid foundation right there. Ryoma and Linde get you well covered in red and blue; you are just lacking green. You can try on Minerva's banner; she's pretty good right out of box so whoever just started the game can benefit a lot from her. Or you can wait for the Hero Fest with Julia, plus Ike (though you are not in desperate need of him since you already have Ryoma) and Ninian can also be quite helpful. Even the summer banner with S!Elise and S!Xander aren't half bad; you get higher chance for a green 5*, and S!Elise is a great green mage.
As for feather investment, maybe your priority would be to promote the starter trio to 4* to get your arena going and brings in feathers/orbs consistently. Besides that, get your core team (Ryoma + Linde, and hopefully a good green) ready (lv40 and some suitable SI) before Xander and Camus GHB reruns hit; you do not want to miss those. Fortunately, judging by the schedule we know for now, you should have plenty of time to prepare for that.

Thanks for the advice. I'll keep a lookout for a good banner to pull on and weigh my options. My defensive team shown in the pic had actually pulled in one or two defenses every couple of days, probably mostly cause of Ryoma.
For greens, is Camilla worth investing feathers in? Or is it better to just hope I pull a nice 5 star?
Not that great OOTB. You could probably use it for now and switch as you come across better ones.

I guess Team Gaius gets cumulative bonuses forever.

The hypocrisy here of you not being able to handle the idea your favourites not winning is flying right over your head isn't it?
The point of the multiplier is to make it so 7/8 teams aren't redundant and not worth playing before the gauntlet even begins. They chose to actually want people to play the game over having a monthly popularity contest, and I'm sorry that point isn't enough for you.
Corrin might get one maybe, hopefully.

Well, the amusement that Gaius could only do this much even after two straight hours of bonuses was kinda worth the hour of sleep waiting for the possible Corrin one.

So will Corrin effect get a bonus? Based on sheer numbers I don't think she'd ever need one to win
New banners are useless right now, everyone's waiting for the new 4 star rates and the free pulls coming in just a few days.
I know I am! ^^
Made it to 4812 by running Ryoma, Hector (sacred cowl+QP), MRobin (TA2) and my -atk +spd fury/QR Nowi. I used them for 6 matches and then switched to horse emblem for an easy 7th, even this was more points than I need to get back into 20.
Nowi is a beast on defensive tiles, especially with Robin giving her 6 defense from spur def 3 + the seal. I accidentally had her in range of a fully kitted-out Bridelia who rallied Azura and got danced, but she took a pitiful amount of damage. I only have fury 2, and -atk makes her damage a little unreliable but it seemed to work out. With Hector's speed buff and the seal she sits at 37 speed, even Lucina couldn't kill her.
I do feel like overall I got lucky though. I dodged Horse Emblem when I could because they were low point teams, but outside of a few Xanders on mixed squads I didn't run into any cavalry. Worst thing I saw was this whale spawn, also on that Bridelia team:
I had to bust out the calculator. It ended up being better for Hector to stand on a non-defense tile, because he did exactly 39 damage to her that way and she didn't get a chance to double him.

Do defense tiles affect damage you are dealing or was it to bait them to also not stand on a defensive tile?

For clarification: This is on the map with forts in the middle arranged in a checkerboard pattern (i.e. Holing up in a fort would mean ranged attackers would also hole up), yes?
Team Corrin is more popular. Better to go Team Gaius if you're aiming for a high overall score.
