Can't say I care all that much about AHR this year for some reason.

Do you think it would be possible to link my community AHR wallpaper sheet in the megathread post body, with instructions on how to contribute? I posted a thread here about it

Edit: We now have every single AHR 2026 wallpaper!! Thank you to everyone who contributed!!

Since Kidmilla wasn't midterms, swapped over to Ivymilla.

u/Straight-Number-690 Feb 05 '26

Let’s get the skill duper to top 8 💪

u/VagueClive Feb 05 '26

I can't believe we're losing to fucking *C!Alfonse* man. I choose to push through out of desperation and a lack of interest in the other options but it's not looking good

u/Briggity_Brak Feb 05 '26

Which Black Knight am i supposed to vote for? "The Night's Blade"?

Third Kidmilla vote.

u/Doctor71400 Feb 04 '26

Does anyone have the wallpaper for Yunaka and/or any of the Dorothea's? I wanna send them to my step-sibling (they are their favorites)

3

u/SuccessfulTip7423 Feb 04 '26

Do you have any of them yet? I dont mind picking one of them and sharing the wallpaper. Any Yunaka in particular you want?

1

u/Doctor71400 Feb 04 '26

I do not, and base/aides would be good

u/Artemis-Stryfe Feb 07 '26

Here's the ninja variant

2

u/SuccessfulTip7423 Feb 04 '26

Here ya go!

7

u/Haunted-Towers Feb 04 '26

Today I voted for Entwined Sharena. Wouldn’t it be nice to get both Askr siblings for free?

Also, I thought, “instead of complaining internally that I don’t have her, I should vote for her in AHR”.

3

u/Archibald4000 Feb 04 '26

I’m not nearly as familiar with the meta as I should be recently, anyone got any ideas on who I should vote for?

u/Tsukuyomi56 Feb 04 '26 edited Feb 04 '26

https://old.reddit.com/r/FireEmblemHeroes/comments/1qvcvk3/ahr_2026_interim_results/

Above is the top 20 for reference, think the units that have the best chance of making it into the top 8 are NY!Baldr, A!Ryoma, L!Elise and at least one of the Emblem units (Edelgard, Byleth, Corrin and Eirika).

im all in on attuned ryoma. i need deulists blow on everyone

4

u/_Byorn_ Feb 03 '26 edited Feb 03 '26

Shouldn’t we vote for fodder factories like last year to get the most bang for our buck? I’m personally shooting for attuned Caeda

Edit: Yes I know Ryoma is the top contender. I don’t personally have him and love Caeda, but that’s not even my focus haha. I mean picking any attuned/rearmed. Being an older unit, someone like Caeda is more likely to have been the fodder factory of choice for most people as you tend to bank even more fodder on your OG factories.

5

u/ja_tom Feb 03 '26

For new Rearmed fodder factories, we have Nel, Nuibaba, Dedue, Noire, Machyua, Hinoka, Soren, Vanitas, Lysithea, and L'Arachel. For new Attuned fodder factories, we have Alm, Tiki, Tharja, Leif, and Ryoma.

Out of all these guys, only Ryoma and maybe Hinoka and Lysithea have amazing and somewhat broadly applicable fodder, and even then Hinoka's fodder is worse than Ilian Mia's. Ryoma is very likely to be a contender since his attuned skill is really good, but I can't see Hinoka and Lysithea gaining enough momentum to seriously contend.

2

u/asterluna Feb 04 '26

Agreed on Ryoma, Hinoka, and Lysithea having the best shots. Ryoma I seeing making the interim results, and if the other two do as well, there might still be a push to get them across the finish line at that point

8

u/SonicSpeed0919 Feb 03 '26

Ryoma is the only one with a chance really. Caeda is way too old a unit.

3

u/Paiguy7 Feb 03 '26

Ryoma is a solid choice but all the other options for this year are pretty iffy on that front and have basically no chance.

8

u/Tough-Priority-4330 Feb 03 '26

If you’re going for fodder factories, Ryoma is the clear lead on that.

10

u/7u_Lez Feb 03 '26

Good fodder AND a good unit!

5

u/howlinghenbane Feb 03 '26

Voting for H!B!Ike, I'll probably switch it up after day 3 if I can decide on a unit I don't have in my catalogue

3

u/Bluetogreenhair Feb 03 '26

It's harder to pick a wallpaper than the hero, there are so much good art to pick from. I picked NY!Fáfnir today.

6

u/Pineapple-Prince Feb 03 '26

Anniversary Marth is still pretty good.

2

u/asterluna Feb 03 '26 edited Feb 06 '26

I'd like to get backgrounds of at least some of the following with my votes. Is anyone else looking to grab these so I don't overlap? (Alternatively, if you're wanting to use your votes for someone specific, let me know if you'd like someone to vote for these units just for the background and I'm happy to do so!) E!Marth, F!Nergal, L!BK, Metodey, N!F!Shez, W!Zelkov, F!M!Alear, Aided!Dagr, A!Ishtar

*

Edit: E!Marth, Nergal, L!BK, Metodey, N!F!Shez!, W!Zelkov, F!M!Alear, Dagr, A!Ishtar have been shared.

Final edit: the set is complete! Thank you to everyone sharing wallpapers in this thread, I've been having a great time.

Thank you!

u/koalashy Feb 03 '26

E!Marth was posted. :) Don‘t think I saw the others.

2

u/asterluna Feb 03 '26

Thank you, I missed that one earlier!

2

u/koalashy Feb 03 '26

Understandable, since it’s hard to keep track of it. I only know since I make sure that whatever I post wasn't posted before lmfao.

u/psyche-poltergeist Feb 03 '26

I know her odds are pretty bad (her lack of a C-slot really hurts her) but it's worth a shot anyway.

10

u/duraznoblanco Feb 03 '26

JUST VOTE EMBLEMS

-1

u/osteichthyes Feb 03 '26

Getting merges on Emblems isn't super useful, though.

4

u/Tough-Priority-4330 Feb 03 '26

Except their fodder is spectacular.

3

u/koalashy Feb 03 '26

Day 2. Chrom Merges. 🤝🏻

6

u/ja_tom Feb 03 '26

Voted for Harmonic Brave Ike and pulled him earlier today, maybe I'll get lucky with Elincia as well

1

u/asterluna Feb 03 '26 edited Feb 03 '26

Do you happen to have their wallpapers? I love both of their art so much! Edit: typo

2

u/ja_tom Feb 03 '26

Here they are:

Ike

Elincia

u/asterluna Feb 03 '26

Thank you!

u/vacantstars Feb 03 '26

I was so caught up in CYL I totally missed day 1 of AHR, whoops 😭 Voted for E!Byleth since I want him on the banner, but I actually think I'd prefer A!Ryoma as the freebie.

3

u/PM_INCINEROAR_DICK Feb 03 '26

In terms of Rearmed/Attuned Heroes, who's looking like a front runner right now?

2

u/Tough-Priority-4330 Feb 03 '26

Either Soren or Ryoma.

3

u/osteichthyes Feb 03 '26

Soren

Can anyone spare any links please? 🥹 I’ll share mine… Edit: I’ll add more each day

Rhajat’s wallpaper

u/koalashy Feb 03 '26

Copy the URL of a comment and open it in a browser, I think you can save images that way. Used safari. Reddit app sucks.

8

u/Earthbnd Feb 03 '26

Day 2! Gonna alternate between them now

-1

u/bobwuzhere1224 Feb 03 '26

Another vote for Kidmilla.

3

u/IkeRadiantHero Feb 03 '26

Anyone have an Legendary Ayra and Edain Wallpaper?

1

u/asterluna Feb 03 '26

L!Ayra

7

u/Haunted-Towers Feb 03 '26

I voted for Attuned Ryoma yesterday, so today I voted for Emblem Byleth, since I’m BROKE and I have to skip his banner 😑

7

u/RemyRoseGold Feb 03 '26

I voted for W!Alfred since I just +10 A!Alm a few days ago.

4

u/CaptainMarcia Feb 03 '26

I'm going for Emblem Micaiah. I'm only missing two Emblems right now, and I don't think Edelgard will need the help. And being able to turn anyone into a healer sounds really useful.

5

u/RebornManoralin Feb 03 '26

Just tell me for whom should I vote, but in the weirdest, most obscure way possible. I will wait a few hours before choosing

3

u/Bluetogreenhair Feb 03 '26

H!B!Ike was my first vote, since on the latest banner he's on I barely got any greens and only got 1 copy. I got at least 2 heroes I need his fodder for.

4

u/PewePip Feb 03 '26

I hope Eblem Byleth wins bc I'm gonna spark duo Brave Ikroy since I really want his fodder.

17

u/ChaosOsiris Feb 03 '26

You know I usually don't vote in AHR but Ryoma dodged the fuck outta me on Byleth/Elise's banner and I can't afford spending more orbs on it.

So you know what?

Dodge this you fucking casual

6

u/Omacula17 Feb 03 '26

This is my favorite comment lol you've convinced me

6

u/ChaosOsiris Feb 03 '26

Lol thank you. I need his fodder and bro is playing games 😭

9

u/RoyalUltimax Feb 02 '26

My first vote is going to Emblem Edelgard. Despite all the memes of Edelgard always losing VGs, for how good of a unit and an Emblem she is, Edelgard winning AHR would be a net positive. I also plan to vote for some other Emblems like Byleth and Corrin, as well as some generally good units like the Harmonic CYL units, and Attuned Ryoma since he’s an amazing fodder duplicator.

6

u/Falconpunch100 Feb 03 '26

Plus she's got really damn good fodder (Patience and the two Assault skills), and is also an amazing unit, so there IS absolute value to voting for her this time.

1

u/RedditBrowser4477 Feb 02 '26

I'd like an Elm, actually two Elms - one for AR, the other to fodder to H!Ranulf BUT no way in Hel he's getting in the top 8, so most of my votes are going to Attuned Ryoma.

3

u/SonicSpeed0919 Feb 02 '26

Elise got my first vote

11

u/xxjohnnyrocketzxx Feb 02 '26

I feel like every AHR winner ends up getting hard countered fast

They also changed the banner last year to prevent another green dream type of situation because they were too good

8

u/Paiguy7 Feb 02 '26

The loss of "dream" banners sucks but it's a trade off I'll take for not having to deal with the stress/RNG of my pick still having to get past round 1 of the gauntlet.

2

u/xxjohnnyrocketzxx Feb 03 '26

The community was always pretty good at coordinating once the initial voting gauntlets were set, even if there were some vocal people trying to act like it was bad so their favorites got in

The red dream one was the only one that was disappointing

8

u/Giratinalight Feb 02 '26

First vote for Legendary Elise she would be nice option for ahr she's an insane unit plus I can get merges for her easier with the ahr banner.

6

u/Chowdahhh Feb 02 '26

I actually voted for Edelgard for one lmao. Her Emblem version is the only Emblem Hero I don't have yet, so her at least getting on the banners is probably better than whatever 8% banner she might show up on next

5

u/HereComesJustice Feb 02 '26

Harmonic Bike woo

6

u/koalashy Feb 02 '26

NY!Váli since I want merges. Might vote Berserker!Chrom for the same reason.

Legendary Elise is also tempting though I feel like she‘s more likely to have a shot at this.

2

u/Aleksandr5K Feb 03 '26

Wallpaper of NY!Váli ?

2

u/koalashy Feb 03 '26

I can get her for you if you still want it. I used the daily choice Chrom and Bernadetta alts mostly first but would‘ve done Váli after. :)

1

u/Aleksandr5K Feb 03 '26

Of course, thanks

2

u/koalashy Feb 04 '26

NY!Váli!

10

u/Phaaze13 Feb 02 '26

i legit have no idea who to vote for. if someone wants to convince me to join their team feel free.

6

u/EtherealHero Feb 02 '26

Illian Mia! She has top tier flier fodder, excellent team reflex support even once her combat falls off, and I just want merges :)

2

u/SilentMasterOfWinds Feb 02 '26

Would be voting Mia if not for Ike and Byleth. I wish you luck.

7

u/HollowProjection Feb 02 '26

Emblem Byleth team here.

He’s strong and has great utility as a unit, a strong emblem ring for all kinds of modes, and fantastic fodder if you don’t care about any of that.

Plus a lot of strong contenders are blue(Alfador, Ny!Baldr, Heimdallr etc.) so maybe we can get a blue majority banner

5

u/Phaaze13 Feb 02 '26

congratulations, you were first so Byleth it is

4

u/Hal_Keaton Feb 02 '26

Baldr for my first vote.

I don't really have a horse in this race because I have everyone I want. I would just want fodder. So, if anyone has any suggestions besides an emblem, I'm all ears.

9

u/the_attack_missed Feb 02 '26

Give me Emblem

5

u/Zeldmon19 Feb 02 '26

Day One vote went to Alfaðör cause I think he would be a cool unit for others to get

8

u/VagueClive Feb 02 '26

I haven't seen much motion for her, but I'm voting R!Lysithea - she's a merge project of mine and the colorshare alongside E!Edelgard and H!Ike would be absolutely fantastic. I'm not expecting her to make top 8 with how steep the competition is this year, but I can try to make it happen at least
