Fire Emblem Heroes Voting Event Crowns Its Champions

First for the Blazing Blade lords. A shame Hector didn't make it.

The first spots are fine - Ike is the most well written character in the series and Lyn is okay.

Roy and Lucina are very disappointing though. At least Lucina winning is better than Camilla/Tharja winning because of their outfits and pandering personalities. Roy should not have won over Hector - Roy is boring and a horrible lord who people only like because he existed as a crappy version of Marth who couldn't get back on the stage in Melee.

Lyn! So people remember her! To think one of the characters I voted for would actually win.

Joshua was in the top 20, I hope he gets in sometime, although it would be strange since there aren't any crits.

I'm really hoping they use secondary weapons for these character's where possible. Like giving Ike his axe or Lucina a lance. I was hoping for a tad more weapon variety in the winners then all characters who main swords.

Ephraim is where it's at. He once seized enemy territory with only two color knights and a paladin. A true reckless badass.

Where's Guy??? 😡

The lady in second place has more votes than the dude in first place

I voted for donnel, something about going from such a pansy to such a badass just is inspiring

I'm disappointed. I was hoping for my obscure characters, not main characters! Come on people. This was our chance to get a lesser known character into the games instead of a different version of a character already well represented.

Just for the record, I'll lose no sleep over this.

@Rumncoke25 I voted for him too.

@Piersen Not it you add up both Ikes' votes, though

@nhSnork I voted Lyn too. She was my top Fire Emblem character when I first started playing.

Who's Lyn and can I download her game on the Wii U?

I voted for Tharja, Henry, and Hector. The people who won are alright but pretty predictable. All of them are Smash Bros characters except for Lyn (unless you include the assist trophy), but she's still pretty iconic. It makes sense since it was a popularity vote, but it would have been nice if a lesser known character got some spotlight.

Depressingly predictable results, but that's how these things tend to go. Dorcas is there, but I'm pretty sure those were joke voters.

Arden is the 3rd highest voted of Fire Emblem 4's characters though, that is something I can respect.

@nhSnork Well Lyn is an assist trophy in Smash (Brawl, Wii U and 3DS). I sure wish some of the assist trophies like her and Waluigi became fully playable fighters in the inevitable Switch port.

@Piersen Actually, the dude in first has the most votes period-- votesplitting make it look otherwise.

The full list is here:

And here's the full standings entirely:
https://events.fire-emblem-heroes.com/vote/result?overall=1
Tellius got screwed because of votesplitting; most damningly, Nephenee would've been number 10 for the females instead of Nowi.

Anyways, the Male Top 10 is pretty fine overall while the Female Top 10 is pretty disheartening.

US GAMESTOP.com HAS NES CLASSIC MINI IN STOCK

Easily the two best choices. Lyn was the face of Fire Emblem's first North American release and Ike is the main character in the first 3D game, which also may have had the best story in the series.

Mostly good choices overall. I'm glad Micaiah made the top 10, though would have liked to get more Radiant Dawn characters in there

@Superzone13 Lyn wasn't the face of Blazing Blade-- Eliwood is front and center on the cover and has more overall relevance in game, with Hector coming in second.
Heck, removing Lyn wouldn't change the game itself too much. She's a stock strong girl with a hot bod; that's why she's number 1.

@BensonUii thanks, I've almost bought that one several times, but I've never actually done it. The last time I almost bought it I ended up buying Advance Wars Dual Strike instead.
I guess I now know what next on my"to buy" list

I don't get how Ike from POR beat from Ike RD. Doesn't really make much sense.

Glad Lyn made it. Bad my favorite lord did not make it. You will get your time to shine Lord Pent. Some day

@BensonUii I know, but number 3 only gets a place in that calendar thingy they're doing. Still fine by me, though.

@CrazedCavalier But she's the first FE character people were introduced to in the West. That stays with people. Besides, Eliwood suffers from Marth syndrome big time. He has the charisma of a wet socket. That's why he barely made it into the top 20.

@leo13 Get it, it's one of the best things the GBA has to offer.

My first vote was for Arvis.

He's not even in the game.

@MarcelRguez I don't think it's entirely fair to just add those votes. If I wanted to vote for Ike, I would vote for all versions of him to make sure the one with most votes gets my vote.

@Piersen When you can vote for the same character again and again, dividing the vote between two entries is not an advantage.

The only justification that I can think on the organizer's end is that they assumed that, since some characters appear on two games, they've had double the exposure than other characters, so splitting the vote is fair.

Happy Roy and Lyn both got picked. Roy is my personal favorite male character from the series, mostly because Binding Blade was my first game in the series. Lyn is just flat out awesome.

I am also glad so many voted for Hector. Shame he didn't make it. Females I voted for Lilina and Clarine, both of whom are in the game anyway so no worries.

Ike for President. Ike for President.

Woo, Lucina!

Oh hey Ike's on first, Great! I guess? It kinda feels like a hollow victory to be all honest, i mean i voted for a few obscure dudes, though since i didn't play most of the fire emblem games, it kinda makes it sorta awkward, I voted for Eztel, Danved, Sigmund, Mycen & Lorenz, but i don't know who they are. I just slapped in Marth, cuz' eh. And Boy Corrin Cuz' Cam Clark.

Congrats on Ike and Lyn for Homecoming King and Queen i guess? (Also why do i have a feeling people are going to ship Roy and Lucina because of these results?)

If I would have voted, I would've voted for Lyn, and probably Hector. Maybe Robin (male). I just can't get myself to really care much for mobile games though, so, it's whatever for me.

Now if these votes were for the Fire Emblem Warriors game..... heck yes I would have voted. Either way it's good to see Lyn being popular! She's easily my favourite FE character. I'm probably biased because her game was the first I played though (and so far the only one I've beaten; yes, I really should change that sometime soon, especially since I do have every single non-Japan exclusive FE game).

My favorite female and male characters both won. This is the perfect outcome to me as far as the first place goes.

Just got a 4* Roy yesterday so how will this Roy be different?

@Sakuraichu could Roy not be made more interesting in this installment?

Going through the characters on all the games when voting made me realise there are too many characters in Fire Emblem games. I'd much prefer a smaller cast with more depth on each character, and multiple appearances of them (as main characters) across multiple games. I know many of the games are set in different universes, but it would be nice if more were set in the same worlds, even if completely new stories. Just my thoughts anyway.

I started voting for Dorcas (legend) on this but quickly realised my votes were wasted given the sheer volume of characters, so I changed to Lyn as the front runner of my favourite FE game

Actually just looked and Dorcas came 21st! Not bad at all for the lovable rogue.

Is it just me or does Lyn look like Chun Li but with smaller legs?

@Sakuraichu Well he's better than Marth in Smash 4

Ike 2017- Make Fire Emblem Great Again

@Yosher Maybe Nintendo will use some of the information gathered from this poll to pick from some fan favourite characters to put into Fire Emblem Warriors.

@NIN10DOXD Um, no he isn't. How long ago has it been since you last played Smash 4?
When he was released in June 2015 everyone thought he was better for a few months but then his faults became more apparent and some people realised Marth was better. Then in February, Marth got some serious buffs to range, damage and frame data and now he's got some of the best results in the game, up there with Diddy and Cloud.

@the101 With the game's nature, no.

i didn't vote, but come on people, give more exposure to the best this series has to offer...
-coughcoughNepheneecoughcough-

I voted for Lady Lyndis who BETTER be playable in the next Smash; getting tired of Marth TBH.

I voted Lucina so I'm happy. Good picks.

"I've never played Fire Emblem before, but I will play Fire Emblem Heroes."
"Oh, look, there's a voting thing."
"Sad face. I don't know any of these characters due to never having played a Fire Emblem game before."
"Wait a second, there's some Fire Emblem characters in Smash Bros!"
"I guess I'll just vote for one of them!"

-Probably the mind of way to many people.

Funny how people always vote for the main characters in a series when polled as opposed to some more obscure, and dare I say interesting, characters.

That being said I love Lyn so who am I to judge.

@Sakuraichu I had no idea they finally fixed Marth to be honest when the game came out, he was disappointing.

Vote some more obscure characters, people!

btw Ike is cool and all but he looks like Ryu from street fighter 2 going to comicon...

@Great_Gonzalez 146 with 1 889 votes
But it would be nice to see him too...
I'm happy to see several of my favourites make the list though.

@Sakuraichu What's wrong with Lucina? I thought she was a good character, and she has some of the best support conversations in the series. That, and she's a really good unit in Awakening.

I voted for Eirika since Sacred Stones was my first Fire Emblem game. I really need to get around to beating it...

I voted Ryoma and Lucina. Ryoma just looks so cool.

@AlienX True my battle ballot consisted of sacred stones characters Ephraim being first.

@Bobb not joking, Nephenee is probably my favourite female in FE.

@Handsomistic15 hahah wait for Lyndis to become another Marth clone... hahah....erm.... TT_TT

Anyone else voted for masked marth? No just me? Ok

I was hoping for Hector, But I am equally happy with all four of these characters! Cant wait to see what these characters look like in the new skins. (Now hopefully I can get some decent summons, can't seem to get anything better than four star no-name characters.)

I blame Super Smash Brother series.

We like Ike!

@AlienX Same here, I voted for Ephraim. But I only voted once, haha.

My sword hand twitches...

@Grumblevolcano if Lyn is there, I might consider buying it despite already having the 3DS version.

For the record, I'm pretty sure that they offered to give the winning characters exclusive costumes, rather than an appearence. Which makes sense since Lyn's already playable.

@Xaldin Quite possibly and with these results, I certainly hope so, but since that's not explicitly stated, they didn't do a good enough job convincing me to vote. If they do pick characters based on these results though then I certainly won't complain.

@Sakuraichu Roy is one of the best characters in the series. Not the best unit, but one of the best characters.

EDIT: I just wish best girl Mia was higher on the list.

@HyliasHero How is he one of the best characters? Thracia Leif and Micaiah were pretty bad units but they had personality, Roy does not. Roy is a typical good person. Nothing more.

@Sakuraichu
>Implying good characters can't be good people

Roy is an interesting character because he is completely in over his head. He is thrown into a situation he was never prepared for and put in charge of an entire army because one of the most powerful warriors in Elibe was killed and now he has to try to replace him. If that's not an interesting character arc I don't know what is.

Well I voted for Lyn!

I voted for Anankos because without him, we wouldn't have Fates.

Does anyone know if Amelia is in the game yet? She's one of the very few reasons I still have this thing installed.

Congrats, Lyn! She has ALWAYS been my favorite character with Ike being a close second!

Ike has the highest vote if you add the total of Path or Radiance and Radiant Dawn together. Too bad Ike is handicapped by actually having 2 characters instead of 1 as oppose to the other FE characters

Why are charcters already in the game being voted?

@HyliasHero Ike did the same, but better.

@RaphaBoss See, I really like Ike too, bit they are different characters eith different problems. There is a reason I voted for both. It's awesome that both ended up so high on the list.
