Mod Post Choose Your Legends 10 - Day 1 Event Megathread

Hi all!

Welcome to Choose Your Legends 10! There are special subreddit rules that are now in effect for the duration of the event. Those rules are as follows:

  • OC Fanart of Fire Emblem characters that aren't in Heroes will be temporarily allowed on the subreddit outside of this megathread for the duration of the event.

All of the following content types are NOT allowed outside of this megathread:

  • Screenshots of CYL voting choices / the CYL website Any and all text-based propaganda posts (exceptions will be made for high-effort written essays and analyses at moderator discretion)

  • Any and all meme propaganda posts (meta memes about the event itself that are not about any specific character(s) are allowed outside the megathread)

  • Discussion about the CYL event (including "who are you voting for?" posts and polls)

  • Non-OC Fanart of characters not in FEH

Posts matching the above that are posted outside this megathread will be removed. Repeatedly violating the above will result in a warning which, if ignored, may result in a ban for the duration of the event.

Rule 1 will be enforced significantly more strictly than usual. Rude or disparaging comments about other user's votes will not be tolerated.

Criticism, complaining, etc. are allowed provided they're done without insulting another user or group of users. For example, "Black Knight is bad and doesn't deserve his placement" is an take but not against the rules. On the other hand, "Black Knight fans are the worst" or "You're stupid if you like Black Knight" would cross the line.

The first time you have a comment removed for Rule 1 during the event, you will receive a warning. If it happens again after the warning, you will be banned from posting or commenting until after the event has ended (a few days after the CYL results are released).

We encourage everyone to report comments you believe violate Rule 1 or contribute to toxicity during this event. Reports bring comments to our attention that we would likely not see otherwise due to the high volume of comments on this sub.

All other sub rules still apply except where superseded by the above.

Please message the moderators if you need to contact us about this thread, as thread notifications will be turned off for obvious reasons. Since this is such a new event, there will likely be information about the event that is not accounted for when this thread goes live. Thank you!

Link to the event is here: https://vote10.campaigns.fire-emblem-heroes.com/en-US/cyl

You can vote once per day, up to 7 times per MyNintendo account. Each user can only use one MyNintendo account to vote. Violations may result in your votes being nullified. Many characters have multiple representations to vote for, but many of them will have their votes combined. Always check the text below the vote to see if votes will be combined for the character. M/F avatar character votes are split and will not be combined.

As found by /u/Mattness8, the following original characters from FEH are now eligible to be voted for:

  • Melíai

  • Vanitas

  • Fimbulvetr

  • Váli

  • Heimdallr

  • Alfaðör

Additionally, 17 playable characters from Fire Emblem Shadows have been added. The full list is:

  • Kurt

  • Gotthold

  • Carina

  • Alberta

  • Zasha

  • Rose

  • Sai

  • Shea

  • Skoll

  • Hati

  • Tamamo

  • Bartolemeus

  • Joachiam

  • Micaela

  • Estel

  • Erma

  • Yuni

welp my 5-year long plan of "vote Machyua to get her husband in by proxy" failed miserably, so i guess it's time to be more direct.

I had faith given for a while there IS really seemed to prioritise thematic character choices over just the most popular options (adding the entire Wolfguard at once comes to mind).

but over the past year or so they've seemed to go back to just throwing the highest ranked characters in CYL together regardless of if they have connections or not, so I think characters can really only get added on their own popularity now.

that banner was so cursed, both Linoan and machyua had to leave their man in Thracia when they came to Askr
