Previous CYL winners or heroes that already have a Brave alt unfortunately cannot be voted for again in CYL5 and most likely in the next CYL events to come. Find another character to vote for if your favorite already won CYL before. If you are having a hard time choosing, you can always use the random vote feature to save time.

Heroes who appear in multiple titles will have their votes combined. However, the game where they are voted in will still matter as the Brave alt will be based on the version of them in the game that they were most voted in. However, there are some special cases for specific character clauses and these are the rules from the CYL5 website.

CYL5 Voting Period Summary

The trend for CYL events is that only the most popular heroes get voted in to qualify for the Brave alt. Though we strongly urge everyone to not give up and voice out your votes in different social media outlets. The CYL website features buttons that make it easy for users to share their votes to specific social media so nothing is stopping you from sharing!

Heroes that get implemented into the game usually score high in CYL voting so even if your favorite character does not enter as a Brave unit, at least they are finally in the game! One great example of this is Jorge, a somewhat unknown character, but nevertheless scored very high in the last CYL4 voting and got implemented into the game as a free Grand Hero Battle unit.
