one turned fate episode death fight through 90% damage cut

#

anyway i have everything i need to get nier now, except the fucking astra

#

doing all this during lobelia's tales of arcarum event is kinda funny

#

yeah so i only have 3 evolites left

#

one of them obv goes to nier

#

one goes to....probably fraux?

#

we'll see about the last one

#

this is extremely scuffed but should give an idea as to a bare minimum baseline

#

ilsa is level 1 here, which means no s3

#

she and mc get the benefit of full enmity, while bowman and meg do not

#

but meg has an assassin

#

i would strongly recommend using nier in the 2 if you're trying to maximize ilsa's diuturna stuff, otherwise use her in the 4 and make her death fodder instead of running luna

#

again, all pretty baseline stuff

#

don't even need ereshkigal for it, but if you do have eresh, it lets you run berserker mc to great effect

#

the alternative for sweaty stuff if you don't have eresh is falsehood chain on your opus and using runeslayer mc to force doubles that way

#

ereshkigal before ereshkigal was cool : ^)

glossy latch
#

God her outfit is nonsense

old galleon
#

that's a fair bit better

ilsa is on ma awakening level 9, but only like 3 or 4 emp

I tried to go for NP2 Miyu and this happened; I think I'm just gonna stop for now

#

I didn't even realize Summer Illya was on rateup

astral drift
#

split rate ups NotLikeThis

summer hornet
#

In exchange for SSR pity, our SR rates suffered

digital marlin
#

SR rates were always shit

#

Don't @ me

honest pawn
#

yeah they need to add a pity for SR

#

it's insane that you could break pity and get an SSR in 330 summons but not get a single 4 star on rate-up

#

I'm probably gonna do the lucky bag btw so wish me luck

astral drift
#

TIL there's gssr

honest pawn
#

yeah, surprised me too

#

the line-up is kinda trash ngl but I wanna pull for a free SSR

#

best case scenario, NP2 Ishtar

astral drift
#

i was like where did this come from

#

Very pleased with the results

honest pawn
#

I'll do it later

copper steppe
#

tempted to roll gssr

honest pawn
#

do it, if you can drop money for it

copper steppe
#

but dollars cost five time my country currency unfortunally

#

i love brazil

oh right

#

instantly knew it was gonna be bethoven virus

old galleon
#

was just made aware of what spartan got with its ultimate mastery

#

pretty fucking nuts

#

um2 is partywide strength, data, damage cap, and damage amplification

#

it also increases in duration the more units in party who share weapon specialty with spartan (sword/spear)

#

um3 is partywide 20% echo, 30-90% jammed, guts and 3k shield, and it cuts party hp by 40%

#

um1 isn't terrible but compared to those 2 you probably wouldn't run it lol

#

makes for a great element-agnostic supporter, but for the sauce, you buy rhomphaia with your 150 moons, convert into a wind lord, and watch as what was once designed as a tank class becomes one of the best dps in the game

#

(don't actually do this unless you know what you're doing)

old galleon
#

today's freebie gave me nothing

long tree
#

Made the choice to leave Kafka behind in her quest

#

She's more than capable of doing whatever she wants by herself, so I feel it's just a way of showing elios control

wispy bough
#

I’m pulling for Lyney nyaruhodo

#

He is rlly nice for mono pyro, and he can work with a few different variations, plus some very good f2p weapons

runic ether
#

id do yelan before lyney personally but if u find the teams hes on fun go for it

wispy bough
#

Ik Yelan is the more viable, but I find her gameplay to be a bit less enjoyable than Lyney, and also Lyneys aesthetic and whole theme is rlly cool imo

#

Cats nyaruhodo

The 100 summer tickets plus the SSR ticket from last month

Got a few dupes along the way as well

VAMPY IS CORE

#

oh also there's this nutcase

#

take a guess what he's talking about

#

yeah that's gonna be a no

#

i mean yeah, he's insane, but so are you buddy

#

.....lewd?

#

anyway, after making some shop purchases i've come to the conclusion that i need around 18k currency to clear the shop

#

that'll be fun

#

for comparison right now i'm sitting at 5700

long tree
#

Got yukata vania

#

Don't know how to feel on that

old galleon
#

VAMPY IS CORE

#

memes aside she doesn't look bad

#

as i said last night she really wants murcielago for her full potential, but even w/o it she should be at least good

summer hornet
#

Niceeee, I'll be looking into it then

#

Don't turn down wind in this house

old galleon
#

only gonna say this once more

#

DON'T BUY MURCIELAGO ON IMPULSE

summer hornet
old galleon
#

that's 150 gold moons for a bow mainhand

#

it synergizes really well with vania, yes, but the viable bow classes are like

#

robin hood and kengo

summer hornet
#

Which class has the party swap gimmick again?

old galleon
#

nighthound is the older class that has it

#

street king is the new one

summer hornet
#

Oh dang, Street King has it too

old galleon
#

street king fake kills the mc (it counts as a player-induced death for effects that care about that) and brings in your 5th slot

#

buffs them a bit, gives them hostility, then when mc re-enters, they get buffs

summer hornet
#

So like a Mafia boss going to prison temporarily?

old galleon
#

i don't think that's what they were going for but you could see it that way

#

anyway, here are a couple fun things you can do with that

#
  1. swap out dark mc for rei, swap rei back out for dark mc
#
  1. swap mc out for any evoker you want to get into the frontline
summer hornet
#

(I haven't actually seen the new class art and skills, so I was just flying off the seat of my pants with that)

old galleon
#

anyway, i recommend getting it asap, but not for the class itself

#

its level 20 bonus is auto attack amplification for the mc

summer hornet
#

Will do

old galleon
#

note it won't apply to tier v classes, so viking and friends won't get it

#

but classes like relic buster, berserker, glorybringer all will

I hope someone claimed that code I posted for le genshin

they're going ham with the character reveals right now

#

how many days do we have until Kafka's banner is up?

#

(how many days do I have left to regather funds for Dan Heng IL?)

12 or 13.

#

what will it take to get castoria

honest pawn
#

you got 2 summer chloe

#

yorokobe aeri

#

@old galleon quick question, does forte have a daughter in gbf?

idle grove
#

2 summer chloe is good for the lööps

#

but I am being hit by desire sensor again

void cargo
#

is it a good idea to start fgo as a free 2 play player?

#

ive heard the pity system is ass

honest pawn
#

I'd suggest starting around anniversary

#

but now's as good a time as any, they have some nice campaigns for newer players

idle grove
#

well I'm almost at the point of exhausting all my free quests

#

just got all my lb6 ones to do now

void cargo
#

the only gacha games i played before were honkai and genshin but honkai was more testing than playing

#

i was satisfied with the amount of pulls you need in genshin

#

and i dont know how much time you have to invest to get a specific servant

void cargo
#

so ive read that gacha isnt needed so the only thing i have to know now: does pity carry over to next banner?

honest pawn
#

nop

void cargo
#

damn

#

i think i will try it anyway

#

so no pulling until i think i can get what i want?

honest pawn
#

ye

#

pity is roughly 900 quartz

#

or 330 summosn

void cargo
#

160 is around 50% right?

honest pawn
#

160 summons?

#

or quartz?

void cargo
#

summons

honest pawn
#

175 is closer to 50%

#

but yes

void cargo
#

how many quartz do you obtain monthly?

copper steppe
#

considering in a week you gain 3 sq and 1 summon ticket

#

plus you gain from campaings every now and then

#

also maintenance

#

i would say 15ish

#

or maybe more

#

its hard to calculate how much sq you gain since you get for doing basically every quest 1 sq

void cargo
#

thx

#

i will now begin my descend into hell by installing fgo

her fate episode does have a babysitting plot, though

#

also note that for whatever reason, they made her a draph in gbf

old galleon

reading over her fate episode and seasonal lines doesn't seem to reference a daughter and idk if she shows up in any events

also her lore states she's 20

they also haven't done anything new with her in years, but they're constantly dropping random updates for old characters, so who knows

void cargo
#

having to use paid quartz this one banner is bruh moment

#

also i have to option to get a 5star servant per anniversary ticket i think it is

old galleon
#

it's effectively a non-seasonal gssr

#

with the exception of a 5* ticket, guaranteed ssrs are paid in this game

#

as for the 5* ticket, there are plenty of good options on it

void cargo
#

also on some banners i have to option to either pull or use a ticket

#

dont know what it does

old galleon
#

tickets are effectively quartz with a different name

#

it takes 3 quartz for a single pull (30 for 11), or you can use 1 ticket for 1 pull (effectively 3 quartz)

void cargo
#

do they expire?

old galleon
#

no

void cargo
#

and what is the best option to pick from the anniversary ticket?

old galleon
#

the 5* ticket?

void cargo
#

yes

old galleon
#

it's gonna depend on your roster

void cargo
#

well i just finished fuyuki so i dont really have a good servant

old galleon
#

that's probably not true

#

they're just low level/skilled right now

void cargo
#

the only time i pulled was tutorial

old galleon
#

fgo is a game where even low rarity units can be good

#

a lot more depends on the specifics of their kits than their rarity

void cargo
#

is there a good allrounder option?

old galleon
#

those usually tend to be more supportive types; attackers are more prone to weakness system, so you typically match attackers to whatever you're facing

#

for example if a fight is all lancers, you're probably not gonna bring an archer

void cargo
#

so something like castoria?

old galleon
#

castoria is among the best servants in the game, but you probably don't have her

#

you can still bring her as a support, of course

#

there are fights that limit your support options, but those come later in the game when your roster should be more developed

void cargo
#

ive heard that for most fights you can no brain berserkers is that true?

old galleon
#

that's true for most fights early in the game

#

it becomes quite a bit harder to get away with that later on

astral drift
#

add 542107367 i'll carry

void cargo
#

is there something i should do before deciding what to get from the ticket?

old galleon
#

ask about the options you're interested in

#

also check if you have waver already or not (he's listed in game as el melloi ii (or zhuge liang))

void cargo
#

i dont have him

#

but as a ticket option hes there

old galleon
#

yeah that's why i mentioned him

#

the typical recommendation is to take him since his three skills give a total of 50% charge to one unit, and 20% across the party

#

this helps with accelerating your np

#

but it's not like waver's the only good unit there, just the one people recommend the most

#

hence why i said to ask about the options you're interested in

void cargo
#

it seems like waver is a good option overall so i will probably get him then

old galleon
#

also, assuming this is global, you can add me too

#

173,574,389

#

my noteworthy supports include castoria, koyanskaya, oberon, merlin

#

i think i still have waver in there too

void cargo
#

ive sent ypu both a request

old galleon
#

aight

#

i'll go accept it when i get on later

#

whoever runs this site needs to update it with her new version

summer hornet
#

This isn't the most updated version of my support list (Garcher is 118 now), but the friend code is the same

#

Feel free to add me on FGO NA if you haven't

and now we're at the world expo for its conclusion, only for this to happen

ive done that but i dont know how to get to the event map

it's not out yet

after this week of hunting quests maybe

is it only japan right now?

japan has theirs right now yeah

thats convenient for me

#

do we not have the same event?

2 years???

did fgo release 2 years later outside of japan?

astral drift
#

yeah

summer hornet
#

Lets you plan out your SQ in advance, which is extremely helpful

void cargo
#

true

#

did this game ever have cooperrations with others except for nasuverse stuff like shiki ryugi

astral drift
#

nope

sour tendon
#

they had a vtuber recently

#

but idt that its a collab so much as just an endorsement deal or something

summer hornet
#

Pekora was sponsored, but that's an out-of-verse deal

#

won't have any effect on the game itself

#

I think other games have had FGO collabs? Or at least general Fate collabs

sour tendon
#

there is a prisma illya collab in some other gacha game

#

i know this because that game has oath under snow shiro and fgo doesnt

#

what the fuck nasu

void cargo

well there is at least an archer class card user but she cant use ubw

Poor luocha lmao

is this one of those "fool your allies to fool your enemies" nonsense

#

she's so fucking extra

#

also yes, it's all a ruse

#

and marco is a fucking idiot

runic ether
#

had to do it now that ive played a ton of star rail (and with all characters) this assumes e0 for 5 stars and i place each 4 star based on e0 too. eidolons bump a few characters up for 4 stars but i wont assume eidolons for 5 stars ever

#

not ordered within tier

old galleon
#

is this for gameplay or for horny

runic ether
#

gameplay

old galleon
#

then you're using fmc for fire and mmc for physical?

glossy latch
#

Surprised seele isnt in S+

old galleon
#

haven't actually played high end but in these kinds of games, support is king

#

everyone in s+ is someone i know to be, or someone who probably is, great at their form of support

runic ether
glossy latch
#

Pela feels low for sure tbh, defense shred is huge

runic ether
#

pela is pretty high all things considered

#

she gets way better with eidolons though

old galleon
#

i think you could argue at least a+ for pela but regardless, she's not bad at all

runic ether
#

pela and sampo both could get a+ with eidolons

long tree
#

I think the only one out of S+ that should be lower is luocha but that's mainly cause he's the easiest pick to get power creeped

#

Good list

runic ether
#

luocha is absolutely insane

glossy latch
#

Sample in A is a touch weird tbh but he is niche

#

Sampo

runic ether
#

hes top 3

#

and top 3 is my s+

glossy latch
#

Like he is crazy in DoT teams, not so much elsewhere

runic ether
#

yeah

#

he can kinda function as a dps/sub-dps but his main role is in dot

long tree
#

I just don't like ranking healers high

glossy latch
#

Id say Kafka should be S tho

runic ether
#

and dot needs kafka (tbh) and if u need a unit like that, u cant be insanely high

long tree
#

Mainly cause most games power creep to the point that healers are uneeded

runic ether
glossy latch
#

Kafka is really good in a team with 0 DoTs otherwise

glossy latch
#

And even better with DoTs

old galleon
#

if it hasn't happened in hsr then there's no reason to factor it in imo

runic ether
#

but i think u put her at s rank if u have e1

runic ether
#

abundance characters all have strong niches

glossy latch
#

Even without E1 she is crazy tbh

runic ether
#

bailu is a revive, natasha has heal over time, and luocha auto-heals and cleanses (your own debuffs) and your enemy buffs

long tree
#

If I were making the list I'd probably swap luocha for bronya but that's cause I hate healers

#

I'd also put Jing higher cause I'm a simp

runic ether
#

bronya is real close to s+

long tree
#

(Why tf do characters not in the aoe class do more aoe damage than him)

old galleon
#

i think there are games where it's mostly valid not to run healers

glossy latch
old galleon
#

but until that becomes the case in hsr, i don't see a reason to judge healers that way there

whats wrong with scaling off hp

glossy latch
#

... why do you hate Natasha?

honest pawn
#

hi, I'm natasha

#

What I mean is hp as a cost doesn't work as a downside, especially when you scale off max hp%

glossy latch
#

Oh an ad I assume

runic ether
#

its hi knife to meet you

old galleon
#

i think there's some room for discussion on scaling damage based on your max health

#

you double dip: your defensive investment is also offensive investment

runic ether
#

blade dies insanely quick without a dedicated healer

#

especially moc

long tree
runic ether
#

he can get 1 shot or near it a lot

long tree
#

Especially since he heals on follow up

runic ether
#

may i ask

long tree
#

You're running some form of sustain on moc regardless

#

Natasha works fine for that

#

It's not a cost, it's just using what you usually do

runic ether
#

correct she counts as a dedicated healrr

#

preservation units cannot sustain blade

old galleon
#

i guess my question would be "why wouldn't you run a dedicated healer with him"

runic ether
#

access

#

theres 3

#

bailu, luocha, natasha

#

natasha is totally free

#

but bailu and luocha are limited 5 stars

long tree
#

Just run Natasha with blade and fire trail blazer with your other dps on team 2

#

March as well if you need it

runic ether
#

which can ve tricky

#

*be

runic ether
#

hence why all 3 are s or s+

#

bailu with eidolons jumps to s+ and so does nat

long tree
#

But that's fine because a team would be in need of one

#

Due to the lack of them

old galleon
#

good lord the new al event boss track hits

long tree
#

I'm just trying to say that having to run a healer with blade isn't a cost at all

#

It's just doing what's expected

#

Hell if you wanted you could run blade Natasha bronya march

#

Trigger his follow ups quicker

runic ether
#

sure though idt u need march here

#

blade's best team is bronya/silver wolf/luocha/blade

old galleon
#

what a fucking failure lmao

runic ether
#

sustain, always access to damage, and doubling down on blade attacks

old galleon
#

to be fair, neither are you

old galleon
#

alrighty, i have 299 rolls on the banner, decided to go for a spark after all

#

the 300th will be tomorrow's free roll, obviously

#

and somehow, in 299 rolls, i've gotten actually a lot of ssr weapons

#

i think i'm counting like 17 or so

#

but most of them are dupes

#

and none of them are grands

#

i'm aware the rate up grand is on a lower rate than the rate up summer units but that's still pretty unlucky

#

the cumulative odds of getting at least one copy of her weapon by now are just over 59%

#

so about the chance of hitting a hypnosis in pokemon : ^)

#

but still a good bit over 50%

#

that said charlotta dupe isn't even my spark target

#

i'm probably gonna end up sparking hal mal for the new weapon in dark, and the unit themselves

#

i was kinda hoping i'd be spooked somewhere down the line by a useful grand

#

(galleon spook would have given me landslide scepter #2, which would have been a reason to consider sparking the third one instead lol)

#

(wamdus would have let me get a start on aquashade grid, if i ever decided to go varuna)

#

oh right, as for the summer units, i got all of them

#

except core : ^)

What's coming with it?

#

I didn't tune in

runic ether
#

trailblazer quest, 4 companion quest for dan heng il march lynx and luka, new area management event, extra qol stuff for power (i think we get bumped to 240 with a reserve tank by default), 2 double reward events, 7 day 10 pulls at the start, and a major event for simulated universe

glossy latch
#

Trailblazer quest is story basically?

runic ether
#

ye

#

for genshin its archon quest
for hsr its trailblazer quest

#

oh the event for simulated universe is gonna be a permanent mode for su

glossy latch
#

Hn

#

Hm

#

I see

#

I'll probably try to get Lynx at least

runic ether
#

its a lot of gem shit to get

#

banners are:
dan heng il, yukong, asta, march

#

fu xuan, lynx, hook, pela

glossy latch
#

I just need to make sure to save up gems for eventual 5 stars I want

#

Rn I just want Luka e6 since its so good

runic ether
#

we get a free sushang in the area management event

glossy latch
#

I wonder, is there any chance we'll get a free Luka at some point

runic ether
#

most definitely

#

hoyo loves giving out free 4 stars

#

this genshin patch we got the new 4 star free for everyone. no time limit. shes just free. and bennett, the best support in the game is gonna be free for an event this patch

#

last patch, we got a free layla. prior patch was a free faruzan

glossy latch
#

But does every 4 star end up being free or just some?

runic ether
#

all

glossy latch
#

If former I might stop pulling for Luka

#

I only need one more for E6

runic ether
#

it just takes some time

glossy latch
#

Not like there is much to do lmao

#

Plus I need time to farm resources for upgrading

runic ether
#

layla was released back in 3.2? she was given for free in 3.8

#

faruzan was released in 3.3 and given for free in 3.7

#

every chinese new year in genshin we get a free 4 star from liyue including any new 4 stars

#

we got a free yukong in 1.2 after 1.1

#

i can see us getting a free luka in 1.4 or 1.5

#

since sushang is gonna be the free 1.3 character

glossy latch

Mmh

old galleon
#

it would be my weird luck to actually get a galleon jaw drop out of my first ever galleon host

#

ax isn't great on it but w/e

old galleon
#

today's freebie gave me nothing

#

so now it's a question of what i want to spark

#

i've narrowed it down to the following

#

Y Vania
G Hal Mal
Wamdus
Galleon dupe (for the second of three landslide scepters)

that's in no particular order

#

but galleon probably isn't it either; if i had 2 of her weapon already, then maybe

#

but for that weapon you really want 3 to get the most use out of it

#

so it's really more of a choice between the top 3 on that list

long tree
#

Probably Y vania

old galleon
#

y vania is the pick if i actually cared about which one is least accessible over the course of a year

long tree
#

Seasonal makes it a safer choice

#

Ye

old galleon
#

thing is, even if i take hal mal or wamdus, getting spooked by either of them again eventually won't hurt

#

since you kinda want dupes of their weapons too

#

(esp wamdus)

long tree
#

But what's the likelihood of being spooked by vania

old galleon
#

nil

long tree
#

Exactly

old galleon
#

but she's also anni tixable

long tree
#

So is the other 3

old galleon
#

who the fuck uses an anni ticket on a grand

long tree
#

Idk but it means you can use the Anni ticket on something else

#

Maybe the busted ass Halloween unit out this year

old galleon
#

if h narm is a thing i'd sooner annitix her than vania anyway

summer hornet
#

...I gave in and used the Leyline Stones

#

Complicated emotions, but at the end of the day it's over with and I don't have to think about it anymore

#

until Dantes has to purge our nightmares, apparently

old galleon
#

i mean

#

stones are resources

#

in the end, there's no shame in using them

#

doing hard clears without command spells or leyline stones is great, but is ultimately a flex

long tree
#

Especially since they expire

old galleon
#

resources exist to be used, and if you have to use them, then do so

old galleon
#

||all his gimmicks are still in play but he has less health and i believe he generates fewer curse stacks on breaks||

#

||iirc the final bar is like 300something k instead of 538||

summer hornet
#

||that is MUCH better||

old galleon
#

||still definitely one of the hardest interludes in the game imo, bc interludes tend to be pretty easy, but definitely toned down compared to the main story fight||

summer hornet
#

||the numerous curse stacks on break were one of the most troublesome parts||

old galleon
#

some specifics

#

||apparently there's a forced dantes support, but whatever||
||second break gives 3 stacks, third break gives 5 (instead of 5 and 7 respectively in the original fight)||
||significantly lower hp per bar||

summer hornet
#

||I assume the damage reduction is still the same?||

old galleon
#

i would have to check that but i'm a little too occupied by the voice in my head saying that vampy is core

decided to get her with the spark

summer hornet

Summer 6 for NA should be end of this month or start of next

Summer anastasia

summer hornet

Sei Shoganon

summer hornet
#

no worries, I had to look it up myself lol

slow raft
#

In my head shes just sei tbh

void cargo
#

it sounds mediocre but i dont have expierence with the game so i cant judge

astral drift
#

You can go in on summer kama for a good universal farmer

void cargo
#

i will probably get someone different

summer hornet
#

Summer Kama, universal arts looper

#

Summer Okita Alter (aka Okitan), Quick looping Saber

old galleon
#

for looping you'd probably want your own castoria, but that aside she's fine

slow raft
#

Corday is p solid st too, right?

old galleon
#

corday's alright

slow raft
#

Whens xu fu again

old galleon
#

and anastasia is basically chloe but better imo

slow raft
#

A year or so?

summer hornet
#

Xu Fu is next anniversary, alongside Arc

old galleon
#

around then, yes

slow raft
old galleon
#

if nothing else there's ruler da vinci

#

decent hybrid attacker/support

void cargo
#

imma hope i get something

old galleon
#

and is a ruler so has defensive advantage against 6 of the 7 basic classes

void cargo
#

but for now its waiting

old galleon
#

and is a welfare so you'll get her w/o pulling

void cargo
#

unrelated to my current situation

#

edmond dantes is limited servant right?

old galleon
#

should be, yes

#

he comes up periodically on banners tho

#

he's plot relevant and a fan favorite

void cargo
#

so ive got time enough to get him

old galleon
#

lemme double check his banners

slow raft
#

Oh right, summer also has a male servants banner

#

But i think thats only douman

old galleon
#

his next banner that's not a gssr appears to be with prison tower becoming free in interlude shop

#

so that'd be sometime in january

rigid pilot
#

Not gonna lie, this summer is very specific though

void cargo
#

i dont want big tiddies or children i want cool guys but thats irrelevant to the gameplay

old galleon
#

considering you're new, that's plenty of time to get a ton of quartz just for playing theh game

rigid pilot
#

Summer Kama is a universal looper yes but her value drops if you have other universal Arts loopers

#

Summer Okitan is a Quick non-Archer looper but also is a bit specific

void cargo
#

i currently have around 80 summons and im done with the france lostbelt

slow raft
#

My other universal arts looper is summer kiara

rigid pilot
#

Summer Kiara, Space Ishtar

rigid pilot
summer hornet
#

Tez, but he's like 2 years out

rigid pilot
#

Tez isn't super universal

#

Rulers, Avengers, Moon Cancers are near universal

void cargo
#

i get carried by support servants rn

rigid pilot
#

Sure some loopers like Melusine, especially at higher NP levels can loop everything but generally only extra classes and Berserkers loop everyone

rigid pilot
void cargo
#

marie antoinette was the 4 star

#

thought it was the same for everyone

rigid pilot
#

Nope

summer hornet
#

Mine was Martha

rigid pilot
#

Mine was two

#

Heracles and D'Eon

void cargo
#

bruh

slow raft
#

I got uhh

#

Parvati

rigid pilot
#

Some Irl friends who play got Emiya, Helena, Nursery Rhyme, and Suzuka

#

Not one person

#

Marie is solid at least

#

Only one that would be a bit of a shame to get is Stheno

void cargo
#

sorry but nursery rhyme is a shit ass name

rigid pilot
#

She is really really niche

void cargo
#

hospital rap

slow raft
#

Do you not know what a nursery rhyme is

void cargo
#

no

rigid pilot
#

Best would be Heracles of course but I would make an argument that everyone else is basically great outside of Stheno

#

Helena definitely better

slow raft
#

I woulda loved heracles or emiya

#

Im not using parvati at all lmao

rigid pilot
#

She's a specific Quick looper

#

So yeah

summer hornet
#

took me years to get parvati lol

void cargo
# void cargo no

ok now i know but i dont know why this should be a servants name

slow raft
#

Because thats what they are

void cargo
#

how high are the chances to get 5star on tutorial banner?

rigid pilot
#

She's the culmination of Nursery Rhymes manifested as a heroic spirit

summer hornet
#

^

slow raft
#

As high as normal, no?

rigid pilot
#

I don't think the tutorial summon can get SSRs

slow raft
#

Huh

rigid pilot
#

I gotta double check though

slow raft
#

Ig that makes sense

rigid pilot
#

But I'm pretty sure that one is just the guaranteed SRs and 3 Stars

#

Hmmm this is a bit of a dead period before summer but again, I think this summer can be skippable without love for the characters or having no other options for gameplay

#

Summer Kama and Okitan are great, but need Castoria (or Xu Fu later this year), and Okitan will truly get good with Ruler Skadi's release in next Summer

long tree
#

You can get more than one 4 star but no 5 stars on the tutorial one

rigid pilot
#

Summer Shounagon and Corday are solid but not necessary

void cargo
#

and what is the banner after summer? or when is it?

rigid pilot
#

Summer Shounagon at lower NP levels is not as strong as Lu Bu who is on the FP Banner as a 3 Star

#

Lu Bu and Spartacus will carry you for Berserkers for a looooong time

rigid pilot
#

Oh RIGHT this summer has Summer Da Vinci. A free SR Ruler for doing the event

#

She's actually good

void cargo
#

what are the bonuses of rulers?

rigid pilot
#

They are the best defensive class

#

While not being weak by any means

#

Ruler is up there for best class for a servant with a base 1.1 Attack bonus and resistance to the Knight and Cavalry classes

#

Knights are Sabers, Archers, Lancers

#

Cavalry is Casters, Riders, and Assassins

old galleon
#

the defensive advantage is relevant always, but especially early game, where you may not have as many options across the classes to cover everything

rigid pilot
#

Also they hit neutral against everything and again

#

They have a high base attack modifier

old galleon
#

neutral agaisnt most things

#

extra classes aren't a factor right now but they do hit zerks effectively

#

(in exchange for also being weak to zerks etc)

rigid pilot
#

They are weak to Avengers and strong against Moon Cancers but those are very rare

#

As a result, coupled with their natural defense, makes them probably my favorite stand-alone class for gameplay

void cargo
#

extra classes in general seem to be except for berserker and ruler

rigid pilot
#

Yeah

old galleon
#

extra classes are very rare in part 1

#

you'll see more of them in epic of remnant, part 2, and events

rigid pilot
#

Later on in the story they show up more

#

Still not a super common class selection

#

And even then, unless you are playing against Avengers, Rulers will do great

#

Ruler Da Vinci in particular is really nice

#

She has a rainbow Arts/Quick/Buster buff for three turns as her first skill and it can be used on herself or any other ally

#

She has a targeted NP Gauge up and NP Gain up

#

And she has an AoE NP Strength up for all allies with a one turn overcharge up and decreases crit rate for enemies. Making her already tanky status as a Ruler even better

void cargo
#

so can be support or self buff

rigid pilot
#

All around, especially since she will be free

#

and able to NP5 her since free

#

She also comes with a Buster single target NP

#

It does a LOT of damage since free NP5

#

It has an RNG element to it

old galleon
#

this is also the first event that'll have servant coins available for welfares through the event

rigid pilot
#

Oh shit RIGHT

old galleon
#

this is a general reminder, not just for mike

rigid pilot
#

and she has anti-Alter Ego

#

We have some solid wellfares coming up hm

#

Cinderella Elizabeth Bathory is strong

#

We also get Ranmaru X this year right?

old galleon
#

yes

#

that should be in november

#

but ranmaru requires deep story progression iirc

void cargo
#

what are welfares or servant coins

rigid pilot
#

Welfares are free SRs

#

They usually are given out through events

old galleon
#

welfare is just jargon for a servant you get for free for playing an event

rigid pilot
#

Servant Coins are used to unlock Apend skills

old galleon
#

some other free servants are given through other means but events are the most common one

rigid pilot
#

Don't worry about 'em really

#

Most are irrelevant

#

It costs 120 coins (and no QP) to unlock the base level Append skill

#

some are really nice such as getting bonus damage against Berserkers or rare classes like Alter Egos

#

which to this day, only Pretenders do well against

#

And we have like

#

Six Pretenders

#

One in NA at the moment

#

Santa Martha this year too pogofgreed

astral drift
#

Reminder hunting quests use event support

rigid pilot
#

Oh shit I gotta arrange that to neutral again

Hmmm

#

Thinking about Mana Loading or Anti-Lancer Append on Melusine

#

I'm pretty sure Black Grail is stuck on her atm

#

But Mana Loading would help her run 50% CEs as her ST self

#

But same deal with Anti-Lancer in some challenge quests

summer hornet
#

I’d say mana loading first, but that’s just me

just finally checked out the double chloe system

#

for 3-3-3 fights this seems a little good

old galleon
#

it works for 3/x/x

idle grove
#

oh do you just need the three for the first one?

old galleon
#

if you're using both chloes up front turn 1 (which you probably are), yes

#

the downside is that a lot of otherwise eligible users, you can't 6ce with

#

the muramasa and okita alter ones can work with 6ce, funny enough

idle grove
#

i see

old galleon
#

but since those also incorporate more traditional arts/quick looping, probably best to have higher enemy counts in wave 2

#

but yeah there's a lot you can do with her

#

you can run 2x chloe, you can use her as a way to get some filler refund and swap out, etc

idle grove
#

well now that I've fully ascended her it's time to put her back to art 1

old galleon

did you manage to get castoria?

14 10 rolls and I've gotten 2 chloe 1 suzuka

at least np2 chloe can also serve as a decent attacker

aside from the obvious support applications

i've been smacking the shit out of a giant dragon and all i got out of it was a bunch of ssr seraphic weapons

#

ofc i forgot all their 4* uncaps are gated behind huanglong and qilin

#

seriously, fuck those raids

#

i have a lot of issues with gbf i'd see them fix sooner than later

#

but huanglong and qilin are at least in my top 3

#

along with unite and fight as a whole

#

those are two of my top 3 somewhere

#

anyway, the host mats are gated behind a seasonal event (also fuck rise of the beasts in general)

#

the raids themselves negate weapon and summon auras so your party is irredeemably gimped

#

and even with that, the raids die so quickly when in season that it can be hard to get anything in

#

especially in the combined raid

#

and their anima are used for all sorts of nonsense

#

the one and only saving grace is that you can buy the anima from cerulean stone shop

#

....for 20 a piece

#

guess how many you need for one omega anima?

#

(it's 10)

#

(so 200 stones for 1 omega anima)

#

guess how many omega anima you need for one seraphic uncap?

#

(it's 5)

#

so out of season, you're looking at shelling out 1000 cerulean stones for one seraphic uncap

#

and that's just for the hlql omega anima

||the point is that rather than you rayshifting to some point in the past to correct a distortion, the lostbelts are, to probably oversimplify it, 'what if' histories that should be pruned off since some shit happens in them that makes them incompatible with proper human history||

void cargo
#

so just different timelines?

old galleon
#

essentially different timelines, yes

#

but timelines that are incompatible with proper human history

void cargo
#

|| but doesnt the whole universe have the rule that certain things have to happen or mustnt happen or else the world will just end or be corrected? ||

old galleon
#

||i'm pretty sure that's the point of pruning||

#

lb6 ||so for example, the turning point in faerie britain was the faeries just not forging excalibur, so humanity gets wiped out and faeries eventually end up becoming the dominant species||

void cargo
#

in kaleid i think || the normal timeline did end ||

old galleon
#

||that's also a simplification of lb6 but is fundamentally what resulted in all that nonsense happening||

old galleon
void cargo
#

yes

old galleon
#

aight

#

haven't watched it in a while so had to refresh memory

void cargo
#

|| so some timelines should end but just dont and the ones which dont end are the lostbelts which have to be corrected manually? ||

rigid pilot
#

Kinda

old galleon
#

||it's less that they don't end than that they're being artificially sustained, at the expense of proper human history||

||each lostbelt until lb6 had what was localized as a 'tree of emptiness' that takes root and sustains that lostbelt||

rigid pilot
#

||the thing about Lostbelts in particular is that they deviate from humanity too much.||

#

||they wouldn't exist otherwise without being sustained by the trees of emptiness even||

old galleon
#

||in part 2, almost all of earth has been bleached over as a result of this lostbelt scheme||

rigid pilot
#

||slight correction. Earth was bleached. And then the trees were planted.||

void cargo
#

|| did the trees appear randomly in some timelines? ||

old galleon
#

no

rigid pilot
#

||Nope to our knowledge Trees of Emptiness are all unique to FGO||

old galleon
#

||the trees are a plot device of the antagonists who serve the (seemingly?) big bad of the arc||

void cargo
#

|| lev/goetia? ||

rigid pilot
#

||I have my own theory in that FGO's timeline will be pruned from the grand scheme of Fate and Type Moon later on||
