Since the A Hero Rises 2023 top-voted heroes are right around the corner, I wanted to see if there was a way we can see which heroes are going to compete in the voting gauntlet.<\/p>\n
Using past history as a guide, I’ve learned that Intelligent Systems have used multiple different strategies to pair up heroes.<\/p>\n
Here<\/a> is a link to the Fire Emblem Wiki page containing the past voting gauntlets.<\/p>\n For example, here’s 2020’s top-voted heroes, in order:<\/p>\n And, here are the match-ups:<\/p>\n As you can see, they are doing the top 4 heroes vs their respective bottom 4.<\/p>\n This is the pattern we see in the 2021 and 2022 AHR events. To give an example of this pattern, we’ll use the 2021 AHR event. The top 8 are as follows:<\/p>\n And here are the matchups:<\/p>\n As you can see, this pattern still puts the top 4 vs the bottom 4, except the bottom 4 got reversed.<\/p>\n I’m sure Intelligent Systems has some logic about why they went with what they did in the 2020 event.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It seems that Intelligent Systems doesn’t use the “going in order” pattern where they do 1 vs 2, 3 vs 4, etc. One reason that pattern may not be preferable is because we<\/p>\n Less-importantly, there’s also the semi-finals round of the voting gauntlet.

Doesn’t really affect the voting gauntlet that much, but still might be interesting to know.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Since the A Hero Rises 2023 top-voted heroes are right around the corner, I wanted to see if there was a way we can see which heroes are going to compete in the voting gauntlet.
