[ebon quartz]

Oh I got Summer Anniversary for Jalter.

Nice

[old galleon]

also based

[ebon quartz]

Okay final pull

[old galleon]

i don't think i'ts an amazing ce but it's solid

[copper steppe]

there

[old galleon]

it's pure atk which helps

[ebon quartz]

That was such a dude pull lmao

[old galleon]

yikes

looks like a few of my pulls on this banner lol

[ebon quartz]

Okay Argor real talk and I'm trusting you here-

Do you think it's possible for me to still a few more pulls, then 3-4 pulls for Morgan then have around 600 sq for Arcueid?

[old galleon]

between now and next year? absolutely

[ebon quartz]

Assuming I don't pull for anyone else.

[old galleon]

but you'd need to be somewhat regularly playing the game

[ebon quartz]

kk, 3 more pulls then.

[old galleon]

clearing story gives you quartz, clearing interludes and strengthenings gives you quartz, doing events gives you quartz, you get 5 tickets per month in mana prism shop

there's so much catchup you can do that you can easily get several hundred quartz in the process

and that'd be on top of what they give for anni next year

oh and 3 quartz per week if you keep up with weekly missions

so thats' like 150 in the next year just from that

if you don't have enough to pity arc by next year, assuming you save, i'd be shocked

[ebon quartz]

Even wth 3-4 pulls for Morgan?

[old galleon]

that's like 90-120 quartz

honestly kind of a drop in the bucket compared to how much catchup you can do

you still gain +30 or so quartz from weeklies if you keep on top of them

and then everything else is pure profit

on top of everything else, you get 1 quartz fragment per story arrow

which adds up to a shitload of quartz

[ebon quartz]

Yeah I have a ton of story to get through still...

[old galleon]

it's well over 100 if you catch up

then between events, story, interludes, strengthenings

and passive gains

i mean you'd have to drop off the face of the earth not to have a good stock for her

or else just fall to temptation and blow it all on someone else

[ebon quartz]

And you know me and Arcueid 😭

Oh hey last pull got me the cat

[old galleon]

BASED

[ebon quartz]

Like literally the last pull where I was going to go "yeah sad I didn't get the stupid cat but oh well"

[rigid pilot]

Greed is good

[old galleon]

alright so you're at 312 quartz

assuming you do four 10s for morgan that'd leave you at 192

between then and next year's anni, you'll be able to get to 600 easily

and i'd be surprised if you couldn't hit 900

[ebon quartz]

🙏

[old galleon]

(including effective quartz from tickets)

[rigid pilot]

Wait once I get Oberon...

I'm done?

For a long while at least

I have no immediate servants I want

[old galleon]

not rolling for s ibuki? lady avalon? s skadi?

next summer is gonna be hell in and of itself

i still haven't decided how i'm gonna approach next year

most likely despite s ibuki being the best arts looper i'm gonna skip her

[ebon quartz]

Do you think I'm safe dropping some tickets on Oberon?

Or should I let the paranoia stay with me?

[old galleon]

yes, but don't burn too many, i'd say

my calculations are assuming you only spend a bit on one other servant

[ebon quartz]

I was thinking maybe 5 tickets at most?

[old galleon]

adding a second one to the mix does make it trickier to make any sort of prediction, even if you have a lot open to you

i would say if you're going to roll on him, spend 10 tickets so you get the extra roll

[ebon quartz]

kk

[old galleon]

but leave it at that

[rigid pilot]

Just Summer Sei and Caenus

[old galleon]

oberon is absolutely amazing (and yes, hes' great for arc)

but you have clear desires

[rigid pilot]

The next big pull will be for Tlaloc

[old galleon]

and imo koyan is more important for arc than oberon, so that's why i was more insistent on her

[rigid pilot]

I may throw Quartz at Arcueid

[ebon quartz]

Oh hmm, I have some play store points too. Gonna actually spend money for once so I also have a reciept for potential account recovery if I ever need it for Merlin if I can get him.

[rigid pilot]

And.... I gotta pull for Draco strictly for the name LOL

[old galleon]

i would say if you're willing to spend, just buy some small packs, enough for 15 paid quartz, and do a gssr

[ebon quartz]

Yeah that's what I was going to do.

[old galleon]

merlin should be on one of the gssr's up right now

[ebon quartz]

Yep

[old galleon]

yo uwon't be guaranteed to get him specifically but there's a chance

[ebon quartz]

Wait shit I forgot I left my debit card at home lmao

[rigid pilot]

I already don't remember who else Merlin was with

But I think it was a solid group

[old galleon]

if my shit loads i can pull it up

[old galleon]

https://i.imgur.com/ObmNABC.jpg

[rigid pilot]

Only "duds" is Cleopatra

[old galleon]

here's your banner

i actually don't like most of this banner tbh

merlin is the clear standout, with melt also being good

[rigid pilot]

It's all good just unfocused

[old galleon]

everyone else is meh at best

[ebon quartz]

Alas

[old galleon]

okay so a couple things there

1. although i do think he's pretty meh compared to today's picks, gramps is still solid

[ebon quartz]

Yeah I used him as a support

[old galleon]

he's definitely not my least favorite in that banner

[rigid pilot]

Martha Ruler is far from bad

[honest pawn]

sigh

I should've waited until I was with my bf to roll

[old galleon]

that'd probably go to hijikata

[rigid pilot]

Also Imaginary Element

[old galleon]

2. martha ruler is honestly not a great roll with this timing

remember, the new summer event gives us a welfare st ruler

she's still usable and has a niche, but i don't see you using her that much, esp after summer

[honest pawn]

I'm genuinely destined to always get offensive servants, I've never gotten a support servant that wasn't waver

[old galleon]

3. you got 4 copies of columbus lmao

[long tree]

Got Arjuna alter from my paid

Quite happy with that

[rigid pilot]

Oh shit right we get DaVinci Ruler this year

[honest pawn]

I know that the last lucky bag is the best one but I have like a 2/5 chance to get an NP2

[old galleon]

i'd recommend going for castoria if you don't have her

even if you risk np2 on some other unit on her banner

[honest pawn]

I know, but getting an NP2 is gonna suck

I hate not getting new servants

[old galleon]

castoria's banne ris absolutely incredible

the only unit there i wouldn't want to see even a dupe of is miss crane

everyone else is great even at np2

[honest pawn]

I wouldn't mind NP2 Morgan yeah

the only issue is

[long tree]

The one with Arjuna alter is imo the best one but that's prolly cause I don't like half the units on the castoria one

[honest pawn]

I'd get an NP3 caren

[old galleon]

np3 caren isn't the worst thing in the world

more damage is more damage

[honest pawn]

only issue is quick is the type supported the least probably

no idea how to make that work

[ebon quartz]

Yeah I'm honestly still okay with just my regular arts looping.

[honest pawn]

worst case scenario is I get avenger

[ebon quartz]

Because Vlad is silly.

But another 2030 is nice for Tamamo

[honest pawn]

which will happen because I'm doomed to never have anything easy

I must struggle and suffer, suffer and struggle

[old galleon]

quick wants skadi

there are some budget quick supports if you don't have her

but skadi is clearly the best, until next summer

which gives us summer skadi, who is better

[honest pawn]

yeah after the lucky bag I'm gonna save up for a year and skip every banner until I get to summer skadi

[ebon quartz]

Oh wait neat free ticket

[old galleon]

i'd only suggest htat if you're willing to dedicate yourself to quick

[honest pawn]

genuinely tired of not having supports so I'll brute-force pity with my bare hands

oh well yeah

[old galleon]

thing about s skadi is she's also a functional dps if you want her to be

she can loop herself

although you'd probably want your own skadi to maximize that one

[honest pawn]

I also wanna pull for Medusa Saber a year after that and I'll have enough SQ to hit pity on that one

because I know for a fact medusa saber will get a banner so

[ebon quartz]

the boss is a fucking tank

This is fine I brought a dragon witch

[honest pawn]

I think what's most tilting is it jebaited me 3 times with loading screens

first time I got CE's, second I got Emiya NP2, third I got Caenis

[old galleon]

speaking of which, in my koyan rolls i got myself a caenis and a valk dupe

but that's all, the rest were all pretty pointless ce dupes

[ebon quartz]

Oh Jalter even with all the buffs you still didn't break 80k :<

[slow raft]

Alright, just woke up

Congratulation to everyone who got koyan btw

[old galleon]

afaik that's everyone here so far except jotlico

[slow raft]

I think i have decided what my catalyst wilö be

Cause i saw one of koyans ascensions and it reminded me of exu e2

I will get exu her module today

[old galleon]

she is a foxy lady with a bunch of guns, after all

[ebon quartz]

Is there any reason to do the old trial quests?

[old galleon]

what do they cost to unlock?

[ebon quartz]

Rare prisms

[old galleon]

i can't think of any of those that'd be worth, except maybe if they're for mystic codes

the character ones are all not worth

[toxic cloud]

@old galleon @rigid pilot I got kama from gssr

[long tree]

The learning with manga berserker is worth it if you need a buster support

[toxic cloud]

was hoping for kama or np2 shikibu this is great

[honest pawn]

anyways, gacha is not important right now

[ebon quartz]

The character ones all say trial I think?

[toxic cloud]

Oh save up your rare prisms

[old galleon]

based

[honest pawn]

I got what I was after today, I can take comfort in that

[old galleon]

so in terms of rare prisms, in my opinion, the most worthwhile use of them is actually to unlock certain ce's in the mana prism shop

[toxic cloud]

i remember unlocking the taunt CE outrage from the prism shop which comes up in really tough fights

or unlocking the dantes tower thing which has a lot of summon tickets

[ebon quartz]

requires 22 mystic spinal fluid

[old galleon]

since when is outrage in the prism shop

[ebon quartz]

Jesus christ

[toxic cloud]

Oh it was rare prism chaldea boys

[slow raft]

What argor said

[toxic cloud]

I spent some of those yellow cubes to get outrage

was nice

[honest pawn]

all the anni CE's that increase bond point gain are 1 rare prism each right

[slow raft]

The best chaldea boys collections arent in the shop iirc

[toxic cloud]

huh I couldnt have gotten the ce anywhere else then I missed that event

[slow raft]

Like that 80% damage up against divine

[honest pawn]

and that, in turn, costs 1000 mana prisms

[old galleon]

versus and outrage are the only two i can think of that are any good

and outrage is less valuable if you already have poster girl

[ebon quartz]

God I need more regular mana prisms 😭

[toxic cloud]

Yeah I dont own poster girl so

[old galleon]

you'll get plenty just by playing the game

30 per day minimum just from doing 3 quests every day

[honest pawn]

be sure to decon some servants licia

[ebon quartz]

Yeah but I already need 1000 for Jalters outfit.

[old galleon]

you can get 1000 easily just playing relatively casually, within a month or so

and i believe we're getting a lottery event soon-ish

so that's a chance for even more

[honest pawn]

aren't they giving away mana prisms with the login bonuses too?

[old galleon]

probably

Chaldea Lunchtime
Mona Lisa
Chaldea Teatime
Bella Lisa

are my four picks for most worthwhile prism purchases btw, but you'll need a collective 20k mana prisms to mlb all four

[honest pawn]

is that ranked

[old galleon]

they're grouped

lunchtime/mona first, then teatime/bella

[honest pawn]

fair

[old galleon]

lunch/mona first since they're more beneficial to you

teatime/bella are better in support

which one between lunch and mona you take first would depend on what you're prioritizing

[long tree]

I dub this team "I am 50 meters from your location and rapidly approaching"

[old galleon]

barghest has potentially one of the most basic-ass kits i've seen in a while on a newer unit

but it works

and her design is A+

[long tree]

Roma and her are there to be my backups, cause they refuse to go down

[ebon quartz]

Oh and now I'm out of upgrade materials lol

[old galleon]

her 2, 3, and np are all absolutely ridiculous survival tools in a solo context

and also decent in a team

like among the good soloists i can think of, i'd probably have her somewhere in my top 5

herc and cu alter are 1 and 2 in some order depending on what you prioritize

taira's also up there

[honest pawn]

btw please don't forget to set koyanskaya as your assassin support once you max her out

[ebon quartz]

I will

[old galleon]

enkidu also makes a nice soloist esp against divine

og cu is great but really wants grails imo

if you grailed him he becomes a great survivalist in his own right, but that's not unique

level 70 cu is workable but is much more fragile

[honest pawn]

I should probably use the half AP cost period to farm mats for Karna skills huh

[long tree]

I have just seen ajurna alters damage numbers

dear fucking lord

what do you mean he does 30k on a regular buster card what

[digital marlin]

Got my worst unit from that gssr

Np2 taira

[old galleon]

nice fragment count at least

[slow raft]

Got my catalyst

[ebon quartz]

I'm going through and finding all the 3 stars and lower I already maxed out np wise so I can burn them.

[old galleon]

to be clear, burn th edupes

not the np5 copies

[ebon quartz]

yeah lmao

[old galleon]

there are actually some really good 3* and lower now after their upgrades

ush is pretty favorably comparable to 4* riders, for example

[slow raft]

I guess thats makes my choice of free ssr easier?

Still, rate up is a lie

[old galleon]

oof

ozy isn't awful but just kek

you have enough to get her on pity if you want, at least

[slow raft]

I also have 90 tickets so like

Im not worried about getring her

Im worried about what comes after

[ebon quartz]

Okay pink haired cat mercenary with 2030 as my support set.

She still needs to be leveled up but...

[copper steppe]

ozy is still very good

[ebon quartz]

I'm sad I don't have a rider or lancer worth putting in as support.

Vlad lancer doesn't have dragon trait

Alas. I think he might work with jalter though?

[old galleon]

if there's ever content with both a single target archer wave and a single target ruler wave, sure

sounds funky but maybe there's a 90++ node out there that fits

otherwise, they don't seem particularly synergetic

[ebon quartz]

I guess double catgirl life for me then.

[sour tendon]

amazing night

[copper steppe]

shikibu

[sour tendon]

goated gssr

i wanted any of them

also managed to get all this in like 350 sq

so i still have pity for oberon

[copper steppe]

sweet

[sour tendon]

my buster farm is stunted though, its been 5 years since i pulled my last kscope

[old galleon]

still workable

might need mana loading or combat uniform

but certainly workable

[sour tendon]

if only i pulled np2 morg

gotta get bond 6 before i can even use tamamo

[astral drift]

Yall stayed up for the maintenance to finish huh

Will stream summons in a bit

[sour tendon]

yup

[sour tendon]

make sure to level everything now

the success rate is bugged to 100%

if you plan to overgrail anything now is the time

[copper steppe]

well boys time to farm assassin gems

[old galleon]

this is totally not true of ce's

also i just got a forced ejection back to the title screen

[copper steppe]

same

[ebon quartz]

I mean I'm back on overnights lmao

[old galleon]

okay yeah i'm getting them on servants specfiically

[slow raft]

https://vxtwitter.com/KaroshiMyriad/status/1675739818083614720?s=20

Big fan of John Kaleidoscope

[old galleon]

definitely take advantage of this for servants and hope they don't do rollbacks : ^)

[ebon quartz]

Damn lmao

[sour tendon]

yeah only servants

seems its almost always great success but sometimes supers happen

[old galleon]

ye

i've gotten a super

but it's mostly greats

[sour tendon]

i got like 2 supers while leveling 5 servants

they really messed up huh

i wonder if they know yet

[astral drift]

[astral drift]

live now

[old galleon]

i assumed the title redirect was a hotfix but nope

[ebon quartz]

My current support set-up

I do actually have a better Lancer I need to level up. Got Percival.

[slow raft]

My lancer rider and berserker pickas are a bit lacking but ig i have ozy now for rider

[ebon quartz]

I have NO good riders lmao

[slow raft]

Bot even like 4 stars?
Dont have a spare marie lying around somewhere?

[ebon quartz]

I uh
Burned her lmao

[slow raft]

[astral drift]

[ebon quartz]

Yeah....

In my defense I fucking hate her design lol

[slow raft]

Ig you do you

Could never be tho, throwing free sq away

[ebon quartz]

Wha

How

[slow raft]

I respect the dedication to hating tho

[ebon quartz]

No legit I didn't know I was losing sq

[slow raft]

Bond quarz and atleast one strengthening?

Maybe 2 or 3, marie is an old servant

[ebon quartz]

Damn it

I mean I still don't have Jeanne maxed out and she's my first servant lol

[slow raft]

Its not like shes limited tbh

Sometime in the future youll pull her again probably

[astral drift]

np3 caenis yesssss

[copper steppe]

now i need more qp

maxxing koyan will take a while

[astral drift]

29 pulls for koyanskaya!

time for np2

[slow raft]

99 pulls only ozy and caenis are notable

[astral drift]

np4 caenis let's go

emiya (assassin) spook

at least it isn't stheno

np2 obtained

now to 💳 for gssr

[idle grove]

gl

[slow raft]

And its just as schrimple as that

rolly number 106

[summer hornet]

Got back from night shift

Absolutely hellish, I'm counting on Koyan and Lion King to brighten up my morning

Can't ping em all so I'll just say congrats to everyone who got Koyanskaya!

(...which seems to be pretty much everyone here LMAO)

[astral drift]

luckily she didn't milk me dry unlike her in JP

[versed pawn]

upgrades step by step

[slow raft]

Oh right

[old galleon]

so i've leveled koyan and bunnytoria to 90

osakabehime and nightingale (inferior merlin) to 80

boudica and romulus (giant bulge) to 60

wu zetian to 70

started the process of leveling asclepius

percival to 60

and i still have plenty of exp for if i actually snipe el sospechoso

now i just hope they don't rollback

[astral drift]

this is the first time i've gotten a good 4* from the gssr

[slow raft]

i got ozy and koyan to max ascension

[summer hornet]

Oh wtf

I’d prepped myself for a long grueling grind and she came in two rolls

[slow raft]

congrats!

[slow raft]

104 less than me!

[old galleon]

o.o

now you can pity moth boi

[slow raft]

i can also still pity moth man tbh

[summer hornet]

…that is true

[slow raft]

so i have no grounds to complain

[summer hornet]

But this is also like the third time this has happened this year

So I’m getting worried

[old galleon]

i hope you don't have any grand plans to get arcueid next year

[summer hornet]

Lmao, I originally hadn’t been?

But I’ve reconsidered rolling for Tametomo

[old galleon]

oh lord

i don't even remember what he does

[slow raft]

anti-something archer

[summer hornet]

Pretty sure he nukes a boat or something in the lore; his kit has a lot of NP-per-turn batteries and stacking NP strength buffs

[old galleon]

anti-lawful, yes

[slow raft]

he also has like

all the piercing on his np

[summer hornet]

Oh yeah, between his skills he has sure hit, ignore invincible and ignore defense iirc

Anyways I had been thinking about rolling for him but I’d thought he was single target all this time

[slow raft]

no hes aoe

boat explosion big

[summer hornet]

T r u e

Issue is I’m already pretty good on AOE Archers, I’d like more single target ones if anything

[old galleon]

s anastasia is this year : ^)

[copper steppe]

huh

[slow raft]

[summer hornet]

…y’know what, why not?

[copper steppe]

suprise maintenance

more quartz i guess

[summer hornet]

I do like Anastasia (and Kadoc)

I’m guaranteed Oberon

[old galleon]

maintenance to fix the success bug presumably

[astral drift]

if that's true i'm glad i got koyanskaya to 100 asap

[copper steppe]

im still mining for qp

drake is working overtime

[old galleon]

just hope they don't rollback

[astral drift]

[summer hornet]

Roll back upgrades, or rolls?

[old galleon]

upgrades

[summer hornet]

okay

Good

[copper steppe]

they wouldn’t do that right

[summer hornet]

Inb4 they give away extra embers for maintenance too lol

I wouldn't complain

[long tree]

Someone ping me when maintenance is over

[slow raft]

what happens when maintenance is over?

[old galleon]

https://i.imgur.com/avfLL50.png

lmao

[summer hornet]

don't you know? That's when maintenance begins

[slow raft]

oh crap i forgor to do sal viento karst yesterday

[astral drift]

ah, didn't get to spend the ap before maint

needed those arrowheads...

[toxic cloud]

Welcome to the clob @summer hornet

[summer hornet]

[old galleon]

so i know anni has everyone's attention but apparently s scathach just got an upgrade in jp and is also redeemable

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWY2Bx8t2nY

[astral drift]

yep

[toxic cloud]

[astral drift]

gonna take jerker first though

[old galleon]

who are all the newly redeemable ones

[astral drift]

scathach, jerker, saber hokusai

[old galleon]

is scathach the only one with a buff?

[astral drift]

yes

[summer hornet]

Do you know the full list at this point?

[old galleon]

also rip ishtar

[toxic cloud]

oh why

[old galleon]

25% battery at level 6, so it'll be 30% at level 10

that's a start

oh it also has crit and anti-divine on it

yeah a solid upgrade

[old galleon]

she got skipped

scathach, jalter, hokusai are the newly added ones

[toxic cloud]

Rip ishtar

[old galleon]

they conveniently skipped s ishtar

but ye s scathach got a good buff

still could use some more but this is progress

i would also argue that s jalter could have used an upgrade

her buster buff being 20% instead of 30 is criminal

it's only 1 turn, so you don't get the "madness enhancement covers for the rest" argument

shuten needs the same upgrade too

her card buff is only 1 turn for reasons unknown

but she already got added to teh shop and didn't get buffed, so

almost hoping jp anni addresses some of them

at this point, with nobu having gotten an acceptable update and s scathach having gotten a pretty good update, the one i'd probably do next is....

chacha

don't think i'll ever understand what they were going for with her

an effects over time zerk without any good way to keep herself on the field to take advantage of those effects

the only remotely defensive part of her kit is her crit chance down on np, which is a modest 20% and isn't hard survival

[astral drift]

rollback??

[toxic cloud]

Holy

Maint is still in progress for me, you managed to get in len?

[old galleon]

pretty sure he's just memeing

[astral drift]

^

[toxic cloud]

[astral drift]

nothing on the official website or twitter about maint

sus

[long tree]

I mean if they rollback from daily reset I ain't gonna complain

They won't but

[summer hornet]

Ping me when maintenance is over, I wanna go GSSR

[toxic cloud]

oo who are you feeling? I went with the arjuna kama one

[old galleon]

https://vxtwitter.com/FateGO_USA/status/1675867630694027266

Lol

[summer hornet]

Probably gonna go for either Super Orion + Saber Astolfo or Junao + Kama

Eresh set is also tempting, but if I got an Okitan dupe I would lose it

[astral drift]

https://vxtwitter.com/FateGO_USA/status/1675870900816871424

[long tree]

Join me in ajuna alter damage numbers

[copper steppe]

while i wait for the maintenance to end i made svarog catch every disease known to man (nihility gaming)

Diversity win: the first female blowjob brother has a good kit!

@summer hornet @long tree maintwnance is over

I have narrowed down the list, elminating all servants i dont want/need or already have

I dont have any ssr lancers, and for assasins and zerks i have only 1 each so i might focus on those

[astral drift]

vlad for a versatile ST

[slow raft]

Youre probably correct

Bruh what tf is great god amun ra

I love getting aoed for my entire team's health every turn

Looks like I'm castoria stalling

sorry kama

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO FIGHT IT AGAIN BUT IT HAS MORE HEALTH

[glossy latch]

Holy shit Svarog in World 4 was a pushover vs my nihility build lmao

[slow raft]

coughing robot vs nihility bomb

i did the math and i have rougly 100 sq through rank ups and interludes, so i think im gonna focus on that for now

and maybe finally clear salem

[rigid pilot]

[rigid pilot]

I feel a bit ripped off that I still need Oberon to loop comfortably actually buuut I was planning on pulling for Oberon anyways

[astral drift]

the price you pay to loop 90+ nodes

[summer hornet]

I can now properly 3-turn Saber (and Caster) nodes using only Emiya as a DPS!

[toxic cloud]

I forget, what do you use to beat up alter egos again? Bastard limbo fight coming up for me

[astral drift]

use_a_berserker.jpg

[summer hornet]

Kama is the best option for now

At least until next week

[astral drift]

also astraea

[toxic cloud]

perfect timing for kama then

[old galleon]

kama destroys him

[summer hornet]

Failing that, he’ll have Threat to Humanity

So Castoria + Enkidu are viable too

[toxic cloud]

I think I can bop him with kama castoria yeah

[old galleon]

i went kama castoria skadi, was pretty free

[toxic cloud]

there's my end screen, no one died

no rollback
we won

god damn i reaped a bounty with that one

not everyone's caught up on levels but i'm a lot better off now than i was before the update

[astral drift]

Oof only 100k neutral

[honest pawn]

hm

[slow raft]

whatcha thinking bout

[copper steppe]

finished lostbelt 5.2 memorial quest

stalling gaming

[summer hornet]

The commitment y’all have to stall is on another level, seriously

[honest pawn]

just wondering what kind of crimes I did in my previous life to warrant my never good luck

[summer hornet]

There’s always the option to obsessively plan 2+ years in advance

[honest pawn]

I mean yeah, obviously, but that's 2 whole years in advance

even if you say you don't care if you got a unit that's still a really long time you have to wait and plan ahead

I'll be at a permanent disadvantage and while I'm not bothered by it, it still sucks

[summer hornet]

I’ve only rolled 5 banners in the past year, from Castoria through Koyan

And one of them crashed and burned because Sigurd called me worthless duelist

[honest pawn]

well yeah, not getting a servant you like sucks, but not getting a servant you need is different

at least the rest of your buster servants have nuclear bombs strapped to their weapons now

[astral drift]

yeah.... nuclear bombs

[honest pawn]

idk I've always struggled with FOMO but this game really loves to pour it on

[slow raft]

same

[old galleon]

as usual, she's ez

https://i.imgur.com/5Gzo1Eh.jpg

ran with this for the comp

[honest pawn]

you're forced to use caenis right

[old galleon]

yes

[slow raft]

ye

[honest pawn]

awful

[slow raft]

like the story fight

[astral drift]

buff removal on first breakbar is worse

[old galleon]

you can cheese it with santa nightingale if you leveled her removal resist skill

otherwise just play smart

[astral drift]

i forgot i have her lol

[summer hornet]

Nightingale definitely came in clutch for a couple specific LB5.2 fights for me

[old galleon]

she's great in both of these memorial quests

however, i haven't leveled her skill, so i won't be using her

for the second one i'm probably just gonna mash solo again lol

[astral drift]

having to plugsuit her in would mean fewer buffs on dps

just let me unga

[summer hornet]

Counterpoint, having Nightingale means your DPS doesn’t get buff removed and die

[honest pawn]

do we know what the next event is?

[astral drift]

likely nerofest

[summer hornet]

I was gonna say it should be summer 6, but… yeah, probably Nerofest

Given it was explicitly pushed back for anniversary

[honest pawn]

what do we get out of nero fest?

[astral drift]

qp and mats

[honest pawn]

any SQ?

[astral drift]

a little

CQs give tickets

[long tree]

Remember we still have 10 tickets next week

[old galleon]

"low chance to remove buffs on normal attack"
feels like he's doing it literally every turn

[astral drift]

same experience

[old galleon]

you can cut this down a bit by being more aggressive

[summer hornet]

So 2020 Calvary GSSR has gives me a chance of getting Miyu, which would save me needing to roll for her whenever she gets another banner later this year

But 2021 Knights GSSR has Saberstolfo and Super Orion, both units that I’m fairly interested in

I like Arjuna Alter and Reines too, but if you asked me to choose them or the former two it would be the former

[old galleon]

between all of those i would absolutely prioritize reines

but that's just from a gameplay perspective

arjuna alter is probably next best, esp after koyan

super orion is hilarious tho

[summer hornet]

Super Orion is practically a ST servant lol

Kama is also absurdly good…. Hrm

…maaa, I’m not against rolling for Miyu on her 3rei movie banner later this year (it’ll probably get turned into something else, but we should be due for a Miyu banner in the next 3 months)

Especially if I keep saving as I’ve been doing

[slow raft]

i havent even looked at the gssr, i still need to decide on the free 5 star lmao

[summer hornet]

Who’re you looking between?

[slow raft]

ive narrowed it down further to exclude li and lartoria

probably the choice is vlad still

[honest pawn]

I may have made a mistake in getting NP2 Karna

mainly because I kinda wanted Saber

[astral drift]

when is the next half ap for rank up quests?

[honest pawn]

I know it's a long ways away but what'd be the best lucky bag for new year's

[astral drift]

kinda depends on your haves and needs

[honest pawn]

almost entirely support

it's down to these two tbh

koyanskaya and oberon are in bait banners

top has reines, castoria, miss crane, and van gogh

but I don't want shi huang that much

and the bottom has people I'd also like except sherlock

[old galleon]

if you don't have castoria, top one is clearly better

however, you wanted to do quick stuff, right?

in taht case bottom can be considered, but you only have the 1 in 5 for skadi

[honest pawn]

the rundown is basically

skadi is what I'd want, ideally, but since I already have morgan if I get merlin I can do really funny stall setups

himiko and orion are units I wouldn't mind getting either

I guess top is better but I'll wait to see what I get from GSSR before deciding

[astral drift]

skadi ruler is also coming summer next year

[honest pawn]

that's also true

but I'm not gonna drop a single SQ on a banner until then so I won't have to worry about that

[old galleon]

optimally, quick wants both skadi variants

[astral drift]

are you sure about that

[old galleon]

you can get away with not having caster if you're not using combat uniform tho, unless you want to use s skadi herself as a dps

in exchange, yo umay want to grab the sussy baka

[honest pawn]

yeah sussy baka might be better

but if I'm gonna go for ruler I'd want him anyways

caren ideally as support

[old galleon]

i'm saying moth boi over caster skadi

not ruler

[summer hornet]

Ruler Skadi has higher straight-up quick buffing, but gives up the quick crits

[old galleon]

and puts them on buster instead

she's better

[summer hornet]

Oh I know, 65 quick up as well as 15 buster up is some crazy numbers

Was just laying it out there

[astral drift]

Also generates stars for those crits

Looks like caster skadi is due for an upgrade

[old galleon]

when do we get extreme training grounds

[honest pawn]

yeah I'll go for the top if I don't get anything in this GSSR

[summer hornet]

Ruler Skadi is the upgrade

[astral drift]

Should've been a sidegrade

Like Merlin and proto merlin

[slow raft]

I have made a choice

[old galleon]

decent

[summer hornet]

Nice! Licia’s recent escapades are proof of his prowess

[astral drift]

time to delete bosses

[ebon quartz]

Uuuuuuuuuuuugh lmao

[astral drift]

nero fest can take care of pages, medals, proofs, and dust

[ebon quartz]

Ana is so good for aoe farming.

[ebon quartz]

231k with Vlad is my record so far.

[old galleon]

dragon elisa being able to double oberon is cool

[long tree]

Bro how tf am I meant to defeat this demon piller

[old galleon]

which one?

[long tree]

Thing has 600k hp and wipes my party on its first attack, I'm castoria NP looping to save my god damn life

Camelot

[ebon quartz]

o.o

[astral drift]

Wipes party?

[ebon quartz]

Well I would say use my vlad xD

[old galleon]

weak against cavalry classes, use double castoria if you really need to cheese it but otherwise there are good nukes even among low rarity cavalry options

[long tree]

I have no riders built

[old galleon]

there's no reason that fight should be giving you that much trouble

[long tree]

Closest is Boudica because she works well with Roma

[old galleon]

boudica has no damage of her own tho

what chapter in camelot is this?

[long tree]

One sec

Sector 15: god king ozymandias 3/3

[old galleon]

how much hp does it have?

600k?

so you beat it once

what 50% battery options do you have out of the following?

waver, reines, skadi, castoria, koyan

[ebon quartz]

Okay after updating my inventory and finishing the leveling... This is going to be hell, huh?

[long tree]

I got castoria

Was unlucky on koyan sadly

[ebon quartz]

No joke, do I have you as a friend?
You can loop castoria with either my vlad (berserker) or tamamo (caster) for some silliness.

[old galleon]

among your riders, assassins, and casters, who are your best st np nukes?

[astral drift]

Better off borrowing a friend's

[old galleon]

if those are your only options, then yes, borrow someone's attacker

[long tree]

Who should I borrow?

[old galleon]

i could tell you to level some of those, but that's a pretty big exp investment

[long tree]

All my embers went to arjuna alter

[astral drift]

What

Can't you just solo with godjuna

[long tree]

Boss does 11k a round to godjuna

My only buffer for buster is the 2 star old man

[astral drift]

One NPBB chain should be all he needs

[long tree]

I don't know what that means

[astral drift]

Borrow a koyanskaya

[old galleon]

he means using his np and 2 of his buster cards in the same chain

probably including crit stars

[long tree]

That'll do like

100k?

Something like that?

[old galleon]

do you have merlin?

[long tree]

I've not got fous or anything to invest in him right now

No

[old galleon]

what are your ce options?

[astral drift]

Did you buy these

[old galleon]

how big is arjuna's battery again?

30?

[astral drift]

Yeah

[long tree]

It's 20 cause he's skill level 1

I just got him today

[old galleon]

what level is he?

[long tree]

He's 80

[old galleon]

and you're out of exp cards?

[long tree]

Not entirely but I can't max him

[old galleon]

ok

i'm probably just gonna recommend finding a support attacker then

i have kama on my assassin slot, she has a suboptimal ce for this fight specifically but i can go swap mlb bg on her in a bit

you take my kama (or a better one you're friends with), bring castoria for battery support, and ideally bring a quick support in the other slot

you don't have skadi but alexander works on a budget, wu zetian works

[ebon quartz]

Honestly I'm wondering how "hard" that fight will be with my Vlad lmao

I usually grab a castoria and use my tamamo

[old galleon]

if you cant one shot him you may need to use castoria np to help keep vlad alive

[ebon quartz]

That's usually what I do.

[old galleon]

you'd go vlad np castoria np then whatever for the third card

[ebon quartz]

I NP chain Vlad > Castoria > Tamamo and Vlad is back up to 80% np charge.

[old galleon]

if you're also using tamamo's np then swap tamamo and castoria order

woudl give you 3 hits of anti-enforcement instead of 2

[ebon quartz]

Yeah I know.
I like putting Tamamo later though for more np charge.

[old galleon]

also if you think castoria's atk buff can push your damage enough to kill you can do castoria np first

you only get one hit of anti-enforcement that way tho

[ebon quartz]

Yeah I usually do that order that I do because I personally find that it lets me loop easier.

[old galleon]

for single target, looping only matters if you can't kill or you have multiple targets (in which case you should probably use an aoe np instead)

[ebon quartz]

Ana

[old galleon]

but yeah you're still in part 1 so you don't have to worry about break bars

[ebon quartz]

oh

[old galleon]

once you get into part 1.5 or part 2 you'll need to start worry about those

[ebon quartz]

Gotcha

[old galleon]

part 1 just has some pretty decently inflated single hp bars

like the 600k boss jotlico's having issues with

[copper steppe]

break bars

[ebon quartz]

Yeah I was struggling with a demon pillar for the memory quests, but I kepe Jeanne in my back pocket for that stuff >.>

[old galleon]

but once you do come upon break bars, then st looping becomes more relevant

[long tree]

I am going to scream

[old galleon]

oof

[long tree]

This thing crit me 9 times in a row

[old galleon]

give me a sec to set my kama

[long tree]

9

[copper steppe]

tough

[astral drift]

I wonder if sashi can solo

[old galleon]

it deals double damage to sabers

so....

maybe not

||https://i.imgur.com/rpV8E7n.jpg||

there ya go, 6/6/10 np2 mlb bg kama in the assassin support

take castoria and she can np turn 1

ideally include a quick support even if it's a budget one

otherwise maybe hav ea secondary attacker

actually you could do kama/castoria/arjuna alter and double np

put kscope on castoria probably, and that new summer anniversary ce on arjuna

castoria 1, 2 targeting kama

this does assume castoria's 1 and 2 are 10 though

but if they are, then kama gets 50 from that and can use her 3 to get to 100

it also puts arjuna at 80 so his battery being sl1 doesn't matter

if you really want you can also kscope castoria so she can np too

put her first if you need the extra atk, put her last if you don't think you can kill so she can put up triple anti-enforcement

and obv make sure to use the relevant skills from kama/arjuna as well

given those conditions, you should be able to slaughter it

ideally in one turn, but you may need more, which should be fine

for mystic code, take something offensive probably

the default mc is a good choice if you don't have any better ideas

[long tree]

IT IS DEAD

[summer hornet]

[old galleon]

[ebon quartz]

Oh neato I can stream from my phone

I think I'll see what's up with this demon god...

[long tree]

Got a lucky kama NP charm

[old galleon]

kama np has 80% chance to charm and her 3 reduces enemy charm resistance by 40%

if they're not immune to charm it should be pretty consistent

[old galleon]

oh you're talking about s musashi

thought you meant saber

also yours is 120 np5

a regular musashi probably isn't cutting it

found my clear

https://i.imgur.com/XLlILoa.jpg

[astral drift]

i found black grail interacts poorly with her 1 HP guts lol

[old galleon]

yeah just a bit

[ebon quartz]

I think I'm actually near the pillar?

[summer hornet]

It is a Camelot specialty!

[ebon quartz]

This is probably it huh lmao

[astral drift]

[ebon quartz]

Okay gonna make coffee then stream my attempt lmao

@old galleon@astral drift wanna watch?

[old galleon]

post link and hopefully your twitch is something more wholesome than 'dickmongler69'

[astral drift]

yeah i'll tune in

[ebon quartz]

I'll just stream here lmao

[summer hornet]

Surprised you’re not putting Mash in the back as a little bit of extra insurance

[old galleon]

how does one watch a discord stream

[ebon quartz]

Join the voice call in the channel and hit "view" when I stream

speaking of

[summer hornet]

Okay you can’t call him a knockoff Gil, that’s just not fair lmao

[astral drift]

how do you stream from phone actually

[old galleon]

this should be the demon pillar, yes

it had unknown class listed, which is reserved for special circumstances

[summer hornet]

It still makes me laugh imagining the reactions of the first people who played EoR 4

[ebon quartz]

ez

[ebon quartz]

https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy

[astral drift]

i'll give it a try next time and compare it to dex

[old galleon]

@ebon quartz you could have used tama's 1 on your first np chain instead of waiting for the second np, since the np strength lasts 3 turns

otherwise you should be fine

[slow raft]

oh right i never added licia

[old galleon]

who's playing trivium in licia's stream lol

ozy and gil are very similar in certain ways, ye

oh i totally forgot this fight existed

[summer hornet]

Vlad can DEFINITELY hit casual 100k+

Lol

[old galleon]

almost like castoria is a good servant : ^)

it's mainly castoria

the synergy between the three is great, yes

but castoria's the biggest contributor here

@ebon quartz are you taking advice?

castoria 3 on vlad, let me read vlad's 2

no ozy is the bigger threat

idk if you can kill him but you should def focus him first

[slow raft]

castoria s3 also gives invuln

[old galleon]

^

ozy's np is st

vlad

you want him maximizing damage

i'd probably have went npqa on vlad but that's okay too

rip castoria

but it's fine

[summer hornet]

Wait, isn’t Nitocris’ NP an AOE with chance to instakill?

[old galleon]

you can kill ozy next turn

yes but nito isn't gonna get it off unless she's unlucky

[summer hornet]

Fair point

[old galleon]

tama 1 and 3 on vlad

can also try to jeanne stun nito to stall a turn

for card order

ye triple arts works

nito np is aoe with chance of instant kill

no she's not

you just went 2 nondamaging np with guts

okay you're fine

congrats on the clear

[summer hornet]

Well done!

[sour tendon]

man the damage dropoff is so unreal

haha funny red cards ig

[summer hornet]

Oh, trying to loop with just Koyan?

[sour tendon]

for now thats all i can do

gotta get morgan to bond 6

my account is hardcore locked into Arts

[old galleon]

@ebon quartz go back in to your spirit origin inventory

[slow raft]

next to filter is sorting

[old galleon]

you're already sorting by rarity

but you can exclude exp cards and fous

click filter

scroll down

okay lemme think

there you go

[summer hornet]

Oooh, Percy is super handy! As are Alex, Ushi and Sasaki (I’m biased on the last one tho)

[old galleon]

if possible, level u p that waver

percival's pretty good

yes, just note it only lasts one turn

[summer hornet]

Yep, I’ve been using it all day lol

You can loop it with Castoria or Koyan, but it takes some work

[old galleon]

you haven't done it yet

you need to upgrade it twice lol

strengthening quest

or rank up quest

it's not that one but you need to do it first

i'd balance it out more instead of just hard focusing skills

[summer hornet]

I would argue that getting Waver to third ascension is higher priority than some skills tbh

[old galleon]

but that's just my take

[summer hornet]

But skills are important in the long run

Also yeah, it’s not like you have to do it but I always stick Mash in the back of my party if/when I run out of cost so that I have something to fall back on

She’s a surprisingly good taunt tank, after all!

Ahhh, gotcha

[old galleon]

i need to bail for now, i'll be back in a bit

getting rid of the stun was a good move on their part, yes

just unnecessary demerits hurting performance

[summer hornet]

0 cost is surprisingly helpful in pinches lol

Atlas has the cooldown as its third skill, it’s purple and green

Ohh, the battle uniform or whatnot

Yeah, you’ve got it already!

Probably just something to generate NP gauge (if you want to use his NP) or something to gain c.stars, so that your DPS has a better chance of critting

Yeah, that’s the kind of thing I mean

[sour tendon]

mash is also best girl so

[summer hornet]

Just a small update, that happens a lot lol

Advice for Koyan setups is to use jalter’s skills before Innovator bunny, btw

[summer hornet]

All the ones that are for damage ye

[sour tendon]

yoo almost as hard as a blue

[summer hornet]

Since Koyan helps you loop the skills

A big thing with Koyanskaya setups is to use skills with short cooldowns repeatedly, for extra benefits

Be it 6-turn NP batteries or 3-turn attack buffs and the like

I’ve gotta go for now tho, alas

[astral drift]

i JUST noticed koyanskaya's 3A uses claymore mines

i've always just been using 1A exclusively on JP

[sour tendon]

im happy to use koyanskaya since she does make more servants useful and everyone loves tamamo

but i will say its somewhat contrived

blue hits harder, loops longer, has all sorts of broken additional effects

busters only niche is 1/1/1 waves

[astral drift]

buster can loop anything without having to switch comps

very convenient

besides, oberon isn't here yet

buster damage is incredibly lacking without him

[sour tendon]

well im gonna give it a fair shake

ive got 900 sq saved for oberon

[summer hornet]

Nice, pity locked and loaded

I've finished recalculating my banners of choice up thru LB7, since Koyanskaya came near instantly

[sour tendon]

im gonna grab oberon then big save until summer ibuki

[toxic cloud]

I think I save up for summer kama

[summer hornet]

Oberon, Miyu(4 star), Bazett, Zhang Jiao(3 star), Summer Skadi and Kukulkan are the highlights

[sour tendon]

im coping with not rolling for summer kama by telling myself its not worth it until they add the blue skin costume

besides i have a super high investment Summer Kiara

[summer hornet]

Yeah, I've already got NP2 Spishtar and Muramasa so I'm not looking for any other universal arts farmers lol

[honest pawn]

I'll repost it because I'm proud of it

[summer hornet]

Heck yeah!! This is the time to Grail him to 100

[honest pawn]

there's a reason I got NP2

I'm not going for 100

I'm going to manifest a karna buff

[summer hornet]

Gonna try to go for 120?

[honest pawn]

I'm conflicted

on one hand, 120 would be awesome

on the other, that's a lot of Grails to be giving up

and append skill 2 would probably be really nice

[sour tendon]

yeah id 120 my kiaras but there are too many characters i like enough to grail

[toxic cloud]

Regi im conflicted with my next grail

[sour tendon]

this stheno aint gone grail herself

[honest pawn]

I think what I'll do is go for append skill 2 to level 10, then grail karna to like 108

[sour tendon]

[honest pawn]

because I'll have enough left over

[toxic cloud]

[astral drift]

oberon -> summer okitan & caenis -> molay & zenobia -> dark koyanskaya -> ereshkigal -> summer ibuki & skadi -> nito alter -> tiamat

[sour tendon]

i also added you argor

as long as you have castoria youre useful to me which is more than most of my friend list can say lol

[toxic cloud]

Mine is np3

She uh, got a bit too excited coming home

[old galleon]

you get 3 copies in the same roll?

[toxic cloud]

Her initial banner I got np2 from tickets then a multi

then in one of the gssrs a while back I got np3

[old galleon]

speaking of gssr i'm finally gonna go roll one

[toxic cloud]

Sure have fun

[sour tendon]

i got np2 back to back iirc

[ebon quartz]

I'm good on my team for now, I'll toss about 10 or 11 tickets at Oberon then save everything for best girl.

Oh and 3-4 pulls for Morgan.

[summer hornet]

I need to clear my friend list again lol

[toxic cloud]

dont purge me regi

Dont believe his lies

[old galleon]

went for skadi, didn't get her

[glossy latch]

The moment you turn your back on Regi he is going to take the beamsaber out

Don't you gaslight me Ovven!

[glossy latch]

Im not gaslighting you

If I was gaslighting you you wouldnt know

[summer hornet]

In any other context that would be a great pull lol

[old galleon]

yeah it's a great pull in general (just the 4* and one of the 5* were guaranteed)

getting another new 5* on it is great

but neither of them were my actual target,a nd idk how i'm gonna use these two

maid alter has pure damage and basically nothing else going for her

ivan has some nice utility tho

[toxic cloud]

She has that weird gimmick right

w one of her skills

[summer hornet]

You can, uh... Use Maid Alter with Skadi...?
