Voting Gauntlet (Guide)

A guide explaining the basics of the Voting Gauntlet.

What is the Voting Gauntlet?
Which Hero will win? The Voting Gauntlet is a special event where eight Heroes put their pride on the line and battle it out in a tournament! The most popular Hero will be decided over three rounds, each lasting 45 hours. Check the schedule below for times:

1) Select a Hero to support
First, select a Hero to support and join their army! Once you've joined one Hero's army, you won't be able to change to another one unless the army you joined loses, so weigh your options carefully before making a decision.

2) Win battles
The next step is to win battles against the rival army. Press the Go into Battle button to head into battle. After that, you'll have to wait awhile before you can battle again. Battles are 3 on 3! The leader of your currently selected team will fight side-by-side with the leaders of other teams in the same army! (The leader is the ally placed in the leftmost slot of the first team.) If you have friends in the same army, the leader of a friend's team will join you.

3) Cast your votes
If you win the battle, you earn the right to vote. Each vote you cast will increase your army's score. Your votes increase in number the more friends you have! (You'll get a boost for each friends you have, up to 10.) Also, you'll get a voting boost if your leader is the same character as the Hero whose army you joined. While a Voting Gauntlet is active, you can also use Battle Flags to multiply your votes. There are two ways to get Battle Flags! Try your hand at special quests and earn Battle Flags while you wait for your next Voting Gauntlet battle to begin. The special quests will change at the start of Round 2 and Final Round, so keep at it!
 * Log-in Bonus
 * Special Voting Gauntlet quests

4) Check on the current conditions!
Using this dedicated web page, you can check the current progress of the Voting Gauntlet:

5) Turn a disadvantage into an advantage!
If your army is at a disadvantage, the points counted when you vote will be multiplied! This multiplier is ((Duration x 0.1) + 3.1). Since one round lasts 45 hours, this bonus can reach up to 7.5x! These points will count toward your personal score as well, so make sure to vote when your army is at a disadvantage! When the scores get close, this bonus will disappear... so time your votes well!

6) Join in partway...and don't give up if you lose!
Even if you don't join an army for Round 1, you can join for Round 2 or even the Final Round. Also, if the army you joined loses, you'll be able to select a new army for the next round-so don't give up!

7) Battle a lot and reap the rewards.
There are three categories of rewards for the Voting Gauntlet. If you battle a lot you'll earn a lot of rewards. Unranked players will earn rewards as though their rank is 100,001.
