“The Voting Gauntlet is a special event where eight Heroes put their pride on the line and battle it out in a tournament to determine who among them is the most beloved!” |
Voting Gauntlet is an event mode that can be chosen from the Battle Screen where eight Heroes battle against each other tournament-style. A player selects a hero army to support during the duration of the event and fights for them against other hero armies.

Basics[ | ]
The Voting Gauntlet is a special event where eight Heroes battle it out tournament-style to determine the most popular amongst them over three rounds with each round lasting forty-five hours.
To participate in the event, players must:
1. Select a hero to support.
Players must choose a hero to support and join their army. Once a player selects a hero, they cannot change armies unless the chosen hero army loses.
2. Win battles against rival hero armies.
Once a round starts, players will have the option to battle the opposing army. Battles are 3-on-3 on a regular map, randomly chosen, and the teams are automatically created using:
- Leftmost hero on the team a player selects (NOT the leftmost hero on the first team. Any team can be selected.)
- Random friend's leader
- The leader of someone else in player's army
The 3 enemy units and the friendly unit from someone in player's army who is not on the player's friend list are chosen based on the level of player's unit -- matching player unit's strength. Thus, if the leaders of player's friends are all level 40, the Voting Gauntlet battles can be made trivially easy by using low level units. e.g. a lvl 1 3-star dancer; a mid level unit with many skills unlocked.
After heading into battle, Battle Ballots are consumed. However, if the player loses a battle, no Battle Ballots are consumed and they can choose to deploy their Heroes again immediately.
3. Cast votes to increase an army's score.
If the player wins a battle, they can then cast votes to increase the chosen hero army's score. Votes can be boosted by achieving the following conditions:
- Boost equal to number of friends a player has (Up to 10 friends) × 5
- 1.1x boost if a player's lead hero is the same as the Hero of the army they joined (e.g. Using Sharena as a lead hero while supporting Sharena's hero army)
- Boost by using Battle Flags to multiply votes.
Battle Ballots can also be spent with a chosen amount, multiplying the final score.
Unlike the Arena, casualties will not affect the points a player can earn in the Voting Gauntlet.
4. Turn a disadvantage into an advantage.
If your selected army is at a disadvantage, the points counted when you vote will be multiplied by (3.1 + duration × 0.1). Since a round lasts for 45 hours, this bonus can reach up to 7.5x.
- These points count toward your personal score as well.
- Every hour on the hour, each teams points are totalled and if a team is losing by a certain percentage, then they are given the disadvantage multiplier for the next hour (2 times max per player)
A player can still join partway even if they did not participate in previous rounds.
Heroes will not gain experience points or skill points during Voting Gauntlet battles.
Battle Ballots[ | ]
Battle Ballots are used for a stamina system specifically for Voting Gauntlets. They regenerate every one hour.

Strategy & Tips[ | ]
The monthly Voting Gauntlet is a main source of Hero Feathers. Some general strategies can help maximizing feather gain.
The primary strategy is to
- only use Battle Flags when player's army is at an disadvantage; and to
- conserve (at least a portion of) Battle Flags for the second day of any round when disadvantage multiplier is the highest.
Also remember to
- use the hero the player is supporting whenever possible.
It can be tricky to catch the best multipliers in a close match -- and flat-out impossible in a winning army with overwhelming advantage. Thus, if the player is able to complete all Voting Gauntlet Quests and track the scores reasonably frequently, it is generally more lucrative to
- be on the losing army at least once.
- Selecting the hero to support late based on then current scores,
ie. on the second day of the round or late on the first day, can also be a sound practice. The scores can be checked at Nintendo's Voting Gauntlet webpage.
