Thank you very much again for taking part! Surprised by the results? Feel free to leave your opinion!

Hello, Schwarzerblitz players!

A lot of time has passed since I launched a character popularity poll for this game! Now, after v1.6 has been shipped, it is time to make amends and hear your voice!

The poll will be open till August 12, 2024 at this link! Filling it takes 2-3 minutes at most, so make sure to have your opinion heard!

Thank you very much in advance for taking part to the survey and for having been part of this amazing journey!

Note: If you have filled this already as a member of the Discord server, please don't fill it again - it's exactly the same poll!
