Melt was the only one with a damage ce equipped lol

Me on the left

[summer hornet]

Now how do you feel about horse

[old galleon]

horse
you have no idea how little that narrows it down

today's freebies as usual gave me nothing

[summer hornet]

Well I didn't want to spell out Xiang Yu lol

[copper steppe]

petah

the horse is here

[summer hornet]

The horse is smarter than all of us combined

[patent swift]

Ok I have a decision to make

Sparkle or Feixiao

I'm at hard pity right now and have 11000 jade ready to go

[runic ether]

do you have teams for sparkle?

[patent swift]

I'm not good at making teams lol

[runic ether]

do you have dan heng il

or qq

[old galleon]

if i'm reading the schedule correctly, the important stuff for tonight should start at around 3:15 am edt

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HQWNayLWM0

but the stream proper starts in a couple hours

[honest pawn]

is this where they'll announce the anni servant

[copper steppe]

||https://youtu.be/PizlZiPE8Go?si=Ul39rkRbNPCdxghq||

they finally released the full version

[patent swift]

No

[patent swift]

Who

[runic ether]

qingque

[patent swift]

Yea

[long tree]

Bro they cooked dummy hard on this hsr patch tf

[runic ether]

sparkle is qq's best support

so if you main her and use her a lot then you probs want sparkle

but bronya can do sparkle's job too

[patent swift]

Ah

[runic ether]

on the flipside, feixiao is p much just a better dr. ratio

if you have his best team being topaz aventurine robin

she'll slot right in

[patent swift]

I have, literally none of those

My luck is so awful I have pulled a singular five star

And its the single worst character in the game

[runic ether]

yanqing?

i'd probably pull feixiao then and hope to get moze alongside her

at least before sparkle

[patent swift]

Mhm

[runic ether]

though a premium sustainer like aven or fu xuan would be useful

lingsha is very specific for now

huohuo is good

but your best options at dps which ultimately

this game cares the most about first

is qingque and feixiao

[patent swift]

I also straight up don't have anything for half the damage types in this game

I wanted firefly but I started this game too late to actually get her

Atleast I have gallagher

[runic ether]

its not a big deal to not match damage types

someone like feixiao and qingque can end up having enough damage to just ignore damage type

unless an enemy has a ridiculous amount of quantum (or wind) resistance

[patent swift]

[glossy latch]

Oh its Emilie and Yelan for 4.8 second half

And the 4* on the banner are Xiangling (who I think I have at C6) and two I dont care for

Dang

[idle grove]

when we get the fgo anni servant announced someone ping me with them cause I'm going to sleep

I've seen the crackpot theories and if it's altrouge or shiki I will have a heart attack and explode

altrouge makes no sense but if their first ever official type moon appearance is in fgo that would be hilarious

[runic ether]

yea it was known

yelan is super good

if u want another premier hydro

but

surprisingly

this weapon banner is actually quite good

aqua is insane on any bow character

and emilie's polearm is baseline

an inverse staff of homa

608 atk and 33.1% crit rate with 15% atk

thats just great on any polear

*polearm

and the fav bow and fav lance are good

and the em claymore and em catalysts are good

the only dud is the flute

rare moment where weapon > character banner tbh

[glossy latch]

I still want Emilie so Ill go for her

I already dont remember why I would want Yelan

[runic ether]

to create a trio

furina yelan xingqiu

that way you can run a double hydro team

and a single hydro on the other team for abyss

or ig

nowdays, it'd be of benefit for imaginarium theater

[old galleon]

yes

[sour tendon]

its been a while since we had a weak anni servant and quite a few have been meta defining

i hope that if its gameplay crucial that they will at least make it a character i like

[astral drift]

https://youtu.be/cCQdX6OKWww?si=HgT5QE-fd_3wllZX

[summer hornet]

Literally the only "weak" anniversary servant was Da Vinci Caster

Sherlock Holmes was super powerful at the time, and is still handy now because he lets you say "no" to almost every defensive measure in the game (literally the only thing that invalidated him was a future anni servant)

Skadi saved Quick

Rider Da Vinci was the pinnacle of arts looping for a hot second, she's still one of the best AOE arts riders

...maybe one of the best AOE riders in general

Castoria broke the entire game over her knee

The ultimate mage in terms of attack and defense

[old galleon]

holmes still sees play in specific situations

wouldn't say he's invalidated at all

[summer hornet]

Aye, that's what I mean

[old galleon]

funny thing is most use cases i've seen for him keep him at level 1 and strictly use him for his np

[summer hornet]

Freaking esports, lol

[old galleon]

his np is absolutely ridiculous

it was ridiculous in its time and it's ridiculous today

but he's not a hot woman so he gets underrated

[summer hornet]

the only male anniversary servant, and he's done his hefty lifting for the position

[old galleon]

like i actively tried for him back in the day, and predictably failed

[summer hornet]

Same lol

[old galleon]

i would not complain if he ever showed his ass on like a gssr or something

all that said....he's not necessary at all

but not being necessary doesn't mean invalid

[summer hornet]

You aren't going to use him for farming, and more and more challenge quests these days have gimmicks aside from just evade, invincibility, and defense buffs

But he's still plenty powerful

[old galleon]

i'd absolutely find a way to use him in the olga gauntlets if i had him

wave 8 in flare marie has caster cu starting with evade

so i could just use holmes' np instead of having to use sweet crystal or valentine witches or whatever

[summer hornet]

Precisely

[old galleon]

and there have been plenty of fights where random evades and whatnot made me run ce's i'd rather not have had to use in that context

[summer hornet]

What I meant by "invalidated" (which in retrospect was the wrong word to use) was that Castoria's super invuln exists

[old galleon]

wait wat

[summer hornet]

And as a result, Sherlock can no longer pierce "everything"

[old galleon]

has castoria been an enemy in any fight in the game up to now in jp

[summer hornet]

But, she never shows up in battles anyways

Yeah I don't think so lol

Or Kuku

... Maybe in summer 8?

[old galleon]

like there's design space for anti-enforcement in future fights but afaik it hasn't been relevant at all

and even if it were i'd just find another way

[summer hornet]

Yeah, buff removal

[old galleon]

in the castoria/kuku theoretical fights, sure

i'm thinking more like unremovable anti-enforcement

as a fight gimmick

[summer hornet]

Oh that would be Malding

[old galleon]

speaking of

we all think mash is getting anti-enforcement sometime in this game's life span, right?

[summer hornet]

Wait, really?

[old galleon]

i think it's very possible

it'd be thematic

imagine they finally work up the nerve to do a mash strengthening and lord camelot gets it

(or they just shove it on galahad instead bc they want money)

[summer hornet]

Isn't she already crazy good still?

[old galleon]

yes

no one's saying mash is bad

[summer hornet]

Like a non-welfare Mash, or Galahad, definitely

[old galleon]

i don't think they'll do a gacha mash

it'd be galahad

[summer hornet]

I could see an anniversary Mash, honestly

[old galleon]

they've had like eleventy blillion different opportunities to gacha mash

if they were gonna, they'd have done it by now

[summer hornet]

Something something the main story wasn't over before now

[old galleon]

they still could have done summer mash back in 2016

or summer mash back in 2020

or fuck, a santa mash in the year of our lord and savior santa karna

to keep the all female santas trend

(which would have been broken by nemo anyway)

[summer hornet]

Since we're basically at the end of the Lostbelts, I could see a post-LB Mash to signify the character development or something

[old galleon]

and if we get that, it'd be through some sort of gameplay acquisition, not gacha

i can't say they will absolutely with 100% certainty not press that emergency button and put mash in a gacha

bc i don't have clairvoyance ex++++++++ or whatever

but i'm pretty confident in my assessment

also if they put mash in a gacha i'm sure some non-insignificant part of the playerbase would riot

[summer hornet]

Ugh, that's probably true

I think people would roll with it, especially if her kit is distinct enough from OG Mash

But some loud people somewhere would shout

[old galleon]

there would definitely be people who'd be fine with it

i'm not saying it'd be a total community revolt

but it'd piss people off

[summer hornet]

I guess what I'm saying is that I'd like a gacha DPS Mash myself, lol

[old galleon]

you will use black barrel b to buster crit once every few turns and you will like it

[sour tendon]

yeah even vinci is passable because shes an arts looper but id say she and holmes are the least gameplay defining by process of elimination and they were the first 2

[old galleon]

tbh i always forget da vinci was the first anni servant

holmes is more than distinct enough to carve out a meaningful role even 7 years later

da vinci....not so much

[summer hornet]

Story relevant, but not quite gameplay relevant in the same way

[old galleon]

like "oh boy she's an aoe caster who gets outperformed by a billion other aoe casters"

and the more time passes the worse it gets

[summer hornet]

Vitch redefined Buster

[sour tendon]

i mean vinci caster is still pretty good as far as arts loop casters go

[summer hornet]

Aesc is... She's not weak, and she's not irrelevant to the story, but... I still feel weird about it

[sour tendon]

aoe arts with 50%

[summer hornet]

Only one hit on the np though

So it's not quite a traditional looper

[old galleon]

aesc is great

i think a lot of people (myself included) got her wrong on our initial reactions

thinking she was only average

or even just good

nah she's pretty staple for a bunch of 90++ and other harder farming, and she hits like a fucking truck on her antis too

and for easier farming, she can still 2x oberon and go to town

or 2x koyan with a 50% ce

all that said, she's clearly not as definitional to core comps as your koyans, castorias, or even your caster skadis

but she's definitely really good and there's a reason (aside from character bias) she's the most grailed servant of the year in jp

[summer hornet]

I'm gonna check her rateups in JP

I'm going try to NP5 someone next year

[old galleon]

don't go for it unless it's someone you actually like

and want to use

if you only go for it bc meta, you'll probably regret it

[summer hornet]

I loved Aesc in LB6

[old galleon]

then i have nothing else to say

good luck with that

[summer hornet]

I mean I was thinking about Melusine, but I've already explained my grievances on that point

Summer Castoria might be it, but the way she's built I'd probably be fine with NP2/NP3

[old galleon]

i was gonna push s castoria but i can't justify it anymore bc ciel

ciel was about the only thing they could have done to stop me too

[summer hornet]

Lol

This is why I could never be a JP player

I'd have broken my SQ reserves on a dozen different cool but not definitive servants (in terms of personal and gameplay appeal)

Only to get hit by a carpet bomb each anniversary, summer, and new year

[old galleon]

yup

being caught up has tradeoffs

just a matter of which one you prefer

[sour tendon]

i wanna get a high np level tezca

thats probably my next time touching the gacha in the game

[summer hornet]

My roadmap right now is Kuku -> Bazett NP2 -> Aesc -> Summer 8 -> Zenjubou & Theseus -> Shining Star Hassan -> Aoko -> Summer Ciel

[old galleon]

don't roll ptolemaios banner just for the 3* if you don't like ptolemaios

they'll both be in the fp pool after the banners end

[summer hornet]

Eh, fair enough I guess

[old galleon]

oh right i totally forgot about her but i guess typhon could be an anni servant option

probably ain't happening tho

[summer hornet]

I didn't dislike Ptolemaios, but I'm not inclined to go in on him either

Typhon?

[sour tendon]

they could give use one of the beasts on record now that theres a class in game

[old galleon]

https://fategrandorder.fandom.com/wiki/Typhon_Ephemeros_(Enemy)

from the ptolemaios grail front

[sour tendon]

she has yellow eyes shes gotta be evil as hell

yoooo

the one erune i like

[old galleon]

how is she the only erune you like

do you just not like erunes

[sour tendon]

entirely arbitrarily

[old galleon]

as a mature woman enthusiast who dislikes erunes, you're missing out

[sour tendon]

damn it

im in

i dont really play gbf i just roll sometimes during these events and to make myself have a measure for gacha payoff i celebrate when i get draphs and lamented getting erunes

[old galleon]

ah

[sour tendon]

catherine is just the best tho

[old galleon]

catherine is good, yes

https://media.skycompass.io/assets/customizes/characters/1138x1138/3040456000_01.png

here's ilsa in a yukata

(her other artworks aren't bad either but i love her yukata)

[sour tendon]

all the ladies in gbf look great

[old galleon]

some of the characters could do with updated art, but yeah

[sour tendon]

this is as far as i ever got in gameplay lol

[old galleon]

yeah that's very far behind

but they added a series of beginner missions back in april

doing them would help you flesh out some beginner grids and whatnot

(sub rank 100 is basically beginner territory at this point)

[sour tendon]

i would bet i could make a pretty good grid

i have a lot of stuff just from the years of freebies

but idt i could commit to the entire bit of a major gacha like gbf

[old galleon]

i've kinda fallen off it a bunch and probably will even more now tbh

they're doing a collab with the slime isekai in november but they're also adding limited collab characters in the gacha for its duration

which rubs me the wrong way for this game

[sour tendon]

yeah I'm not big on collabs anymore

mtg wore me out

it can undermine a games identity

[old galleon]

i don't mind collabs themselves, it's the adding limited characters to the gacha that irks me

this is the first one they've done that for

apparently the stated justification was so they could add more playable characters, which is obviously a lie

bc they could just do that anyway and make them available from the event itself

[sour tendon]

ah do they not usually do gacha characters for collabs?

i remember back in the day i planned to get the medusa you have to live in japan to get

[old galleon]

yeah but that's not a collab thing the same way this is

oh hey you can buy an illustrious

[old galleon]

and no they do not

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXIbniO1cQQ

the time of reckoning is nigh

[summer hornet]

Hoo boy

[old galleon]

i have it on in the background but i'm also on sword of convallaria right now so my focus is split

le tme know when they summon 2-san

[summer hornet]

Will do; I'm gonna grab some food and play Tsukihime Remake in the meantime lol

…that’s Dantes’ VA dressed up as the count, isn’t it

LMAO

[old galleon]

based

[summer hornet]

Takahashi Rie, Ayako Kawasumi, and Nobunaga Shimazaki

Those are the ones I recognized

I think Shimazaki got a bigger cheer than Rie lol

[old galleon]

i heard information

[slow raft]

just woke up, anything important happen yet?

[old galleon]

no

they're talking information but so far it's not gameplay

[slow raft]

[old galleon]

extra

i'm guessing this is extra record stuff

[slow raft]

yooo, i hear kirei

[summer hornet]

The most in-depth Fate/Extra Record trailer yet

Did they announce the 2025 release date already?

Tamamo PC master race lmao

And Emiya dual wields joycons

[slow raft]

ingame news

[old galleon]

i hear 2-san

[slow raft]

no batch level up but you can now click a button when trying to upgrade a skill and itll show you where you can farm the mats for that

[old galleon]

ye based update

[slow raft]

apparently full command seal charge everyday

[summer hornet]

Oh dang

[old galleon]

the full seal charge is very nice

esp since class score has shit that incentivizes you using them

[slow raft]

new append?

2 new appends

[summer hornet]

A moment of silence for all those people who put all their limited servant coins into useless appends for the flex

…….did they say what I think they said

[slow raft]

crit damage up and cooldown reduction once per... skilll?

[summer hornet]

Okay so I’m not crazy

That’s insane

[slow raft]

GOLDEN KARP IN THE SHOP

oops, capslock

[summer hornet]

I think it deserves caps lol

[slow raft]

i mean its no golden sumo

also some old mystic codes and command codes are getting added to the shop

pity improvement?

ah nvm

its just that its unlimited

[summer hornet]

Still useful

[slow raft]

ig thats better if you want multiple copies

never been in that position

and theres a pity counter

took em long enough

[old galleon]

they're just getting rid of the 1 cap for it

which is a good change

[summer hornet]

Trying to go for NP2+ on a single banner is less of a blind crapshoot now

It’s still not good, but it’s less bad

[slow raft]

idt itll ever be of any use to me
unless its a servant i really like and i get them like a 10roll before pity

[old galleon]

well at least now if you save 4500 quartz you can guarantee np5 even if you have to hit pity all 5 times

[slow raft]

decent ggsr lineup looks like

[old galleon]

(mathematically you should np5 long before 4500 tho)

[slow raft]

(still no draco)

[old galleon]

rip draco lovers

[slow raft]

if i ever want np5 and i have to spent 4.5k sq i would actually use stella irl

[old galleon]

same

[slow raft]

1 (some order of magnitude, i think million) qp and a 100 5 star exp
when you do gssr

[summer hornet]

As a person who never has enough QP

This is a godsend

[slow raft]

100 million qp im being told

[old galleon]

should be 100m yeah

[summer hornet]

Oh that’s SUPER pog

[old galleon]

1m would be dogshit

[slow raft]

thyre also selling a pack for gssr now

so that you dont have to overbuy

[summer hornet]

Oh bless

[slow raft]

the same applies for destiny order

servant reveal

summer eresh?

[old galleon]

um

[summer hornet]

Yaaaaasaaa

[old galleon]

i'm gonna fuckin die

[summer hornet]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

E R E S H K I G A LLLLLLLLLLLLLL;L;LLLLLLLLLL

[slow raft]

no class yet

[summer hornet]

FUCK SUMMER CASTORIA, FUCK CIEL, FUCK AESC

I’M NP5ING ANNIVERSARY ERESHKIGAL, I DON

[slow raft]

BEAST?

[old galleon]

WH YIS SHE A FUCKIN BEAST

[summer hornet]

OH IT’S SPACE ERESH

RIN FANS WON AROUND THE WORLD

[old galleon]

yeah i'm just gonna go die now

[slow raft]

i was wondering why they didnt show the class at first

[old galleon]

ciel and eresh in the same year

[slow raft]

yooo, exhibition quest for a ticket lets goooooo

[summer hornet]

I’m surprised they didn’t have Kana Ueda there today lol

[old galleon]

advantage against most of the extra classes, except avenger, i think

[slow raft]

yea

[old galleon]

and shielder for the one fight in the game where that matters

[slow raft]

and neutral on normal?
idk

mate counter?
i didnt know she was australian

oh its a seperate bond thing

that gives her np extra effects or smth

[summer hornet]

Certainly a funky mechanic

[slow raft]

eresh fans get a dating sim ingame :icant:

anyways
i hope those new appends bring some coin changes with them lmao

all those poor people that thought they were out of uses for their coins and did grail casting

[old galleon]

afaik they haven't announced coin qol

[slow raft]

yea

[summer hornet]

Ngl it’s not looking good

They should have announced that before the anniversary servant, if they were going to do so

[old galleon]

ye

anyway i have a real hard choice to make

[slow raft]

another 120 kojirous ig

[old galleon]

not sure anything else they drop will change that

[slow raft]

the grind never ends

maybe you dont even need coins for the appends

oh right, aeri asked to be pinged

@idle grove anniversary servant is Beast ereshkigal

[summer hornet]

I gotta go revise my plans for the next two years lol

This is such good news lol

I expect the content creators will be unpacking her kit over the next few hours

[old galleon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scQ_joNu5f8

naya's real fast lol

[slow raft]

other fgotuber still streaming, nayas got that quickdraw

[summer hornet]

Billy the Kid IRL

[old galleon]

okay so my tentative idea looks something like this

eresh is the anni unit, so she's probably not coming back anytime soon, ESPECIALLY since she's a damn beast

so np5 eresh, hope there's enough leftover for as many ciel copies as the game wants to give me

ciel's on a summer banner so that'll rerun a year later

try to finish her off at that time

[slow raft]

hmm yes, very wise

however
what will you do if the next anni + summer servant is even crazier

[old galleon]

ciel is my favorite tsuki character and eresh is my favorite fgo character

i don't see that changing

[slow raft]

beast ciel and summer eresh alter next year

[old galleon]

if they do that i'll do whatever the fuck soujuurou does for his np irl

[slow raft]

i do wonder how theyre gonna scale the cd append

my guess is not at all

[old galleon]

depending on how the cd append works it'll make a bunch of servants viable for koyan looping

that weren't before

[slow raft]

*hope

[summer hornet]

Kuku -> Bazett NP2 (my second copy) -> Summer 8 (basically everyone, that’s why I’m barely rolling for an entire year lol) -> Zenjubou and Theseus (a single ten-pull, just to get a copy for collection’s sake. They’ll eventually show up in FP) -> Shining Star Hassan -> Aoko -> NP5 Space Ereshkigal -> whatever leftover SQ I can muster for Summer Ciel

That’s my new plan

[old galleon]

i will say that i didn't see s eresh on anyone's anni servant radars

(s being both space and summer lmao)

[summer hornet]

People were hoping for Summer Eresh on some level, but I think the majority had given up lol

[slow raft]

I had still seen alot of people hooe for summer eresh but yeah, nit alot of people thought they were getting a summer servant for anni

Even though that shouldve been obvious

[summer hornet]

Once is a surprise, twice is a coincidence, three times is a trend

This is the second time we’ve gotten a summer servant as an anniversary servant

[slow raft]

Theming win: for anni 9, theyve changed it so you need np9 to max out a servant

(Apparently you need coinsnfor the appends, rip)

https://x.com/JWeng8/status/1820020040135246013

PlushieMistress (@JWeng8) on X

If this append takes coins it might just be the worse thing they added, to completely cap out a SSR servant you need NP8 at bond 15 lmao

Append 4 : crit up 30%

Append 5 : fucking skill CD reduction (one time) on each skill per match

Twitter · Aug 4, 2024, 8:52 AM

Also, get ready to pull 8 more emiyas, regi

[summer hornet]

[old galleon]

np8 bond 15

so practically np9

and that's just for 5*

[old galleon]

want that sweet skill cooldown append on salter? good fucking luck

new appends with no coin qol is terrible

esp since one of them might well be meta defining depending on how it works

my god her arts

https://old.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/1ejqyy2/ascension_arts_of_ereshkigalspace_ereshkigal_beast/

just actually blessed

[slow raft]

Once per skill, an amount up to 3 times (depending on how high the level of the append is) per battle, after skill usage the cd will be reduced by 1

Is what im told

[old galleon]

yeah that's straight-up game changing for certain servants

arc being the biggest one

now she can bg loop with 2x koyan

[slow raft]

Only enables buster looping right?

The rest doesnt have enough cd on most of their skills

Aside from like
Mysterious alter ego lamda

[summer hornet]

I mean there’s arts and quick servants who have substantial but slow batteries

[slow raft]

Yeah but like

They arent 4 turns, are they?

[old galleon]

it's highest impact for buster looping so far, i think

but buster looping is a real meta

[slow raft]

Ig you can take the cd mystic code

[old galleon]

S ERESH IS ARTS

[slow raft]

Oh wait you were talking about like

Artwork earlier

[old galleon]

yeah

https://apps.atlasacademy.io/db/JP/servant/417

atlas actually has her up now so i'm looking at her kit

[slow raft]

I thought you were complimenting her arts card

[old galleon]

5 hit aoe arts np with REALLY bad np gain

.33%

[summer hornet]

I presume the hits make up for it?

[old galleon]

she has 20% party charge and 50% self charge between two of her skills and one of her others reduces her cooldowns by a turn

she has no self arts or np gain buffs either

[slow raft]

Yoo, charisma of hope(alter)

Pull animation looks nice

[old galleon]

wait did they give salter ANOTHER sq

or do you mean something else

[slow raft]

Eresh skill 1
I see a charisma with psrty np charhe and my mind hoes to castoria, sorry

[old galleon]

oh also i have no fucking idea what this favorability thing actually entails

like there's a bunch of shit that raises it

bieng bond 5 or higher, starting with her in the frontline, targeting her with master skills, that kind of thing

she gets a full level as well for using her on water field

[slow raft]

Oh wait the multiple pity doesnt even apply how i coped it might
Ah well, was a pitydream in the first place

[old galleon]

in other words her favorability thingy isn't just a direct 1:1 with bond level

and it resets between different fights ofc

but idk what it actually does yet beyond apparently giving her buffs

[summer hornet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztAS-TjaFvs

Yeah there's a lot to unpack

[old galleon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pEEDhBV4UM

whale-kun streaming pulls and shit if anyone cares

oh also might be worth noting her 2nd and 3rd ascensions both have super giant trait

i haven't seen them in battle yet tho

[summer hornet]

Oh okay so she just…casually gets 50% NP gauge per hit when skill 2 is maxed out

Am I reading that right?????

[old galleon]

i didn't see anything like that

lemme double check

[slow raft]

No, its crit dmg up per hit

And a static 50 np on skill activation

[old galleon]

ye

[summer hornet]

Oh lmao okay, my bad

[old galleon]

i feel like if it were something absurd like that i'd have already freaked out about it

[summer hornet]

Thank you for correcting me

[slow raft]

Its so funny that with the new append she can use her 20 team batter twice when looping

Incredible work, john lasengle

[summer hornet]

You just gotta roll for it, that’s all

[old galleon]

does it actually work like that

i thought it was just cooldown reduced by 1 but you get to use it multiple times per skill per battle based on the level

[slow raft]

Yeah i think i miscounted

[summer hornet]

I don’t think I know how to read Atlas DB

[old galleon]

well tbf atlas' formatting is pretty fucked

[slow raft]

Wait a minute, regi mughtve been cooking

Tho its 5% not 50

[summer hornet]

Oh that’s MUCH more reasonable

[slow raft]

Also just 3 times debuff resistance for free every battle ig

[summer hornet]

And I did think I saw that “NP gain” flash by on her attacks in the trailer

[old galleon]

oh you were talking about her passives

yeah she has that as a passive, which is pretty nice whenever you're using her to card

[summer hornet]

No I was talking about her skill 2, that’s where I was wrong lol

[old galleon]

and since aside from her battery her s2 is just a massive crit skill

[honest pawn]

man fuck off

[old galleon]

it might come up

[old galleon]

yeah no one expected this lol

i guess in retrospect her va being among the guests was a clue

but even then i don't think anyone predicted this implementation of s eresh

[slow raft]

A free 20% crit dmg vs servants is nice too ig

[old galleon]

i actually like the design a lot

on one hand she should be able to arts loop

although her np gain is really dicey

probably can't omni loop the way some others can

on the other hand, the crit stuff has real use in fights where you want to or have to card

[slow raft]

She doesnt have stars per turn in any ways, but ig her no does give her 50 stars lol

Also shes immune to bound/stun/pigify
For some reason

[honest pawn]

FGO is such a bottomless pit of meat grinder slush

[summer hornet]

Why do they have buff strings coded in as a chance-based effect lol

[old galleon]

bc atlas' formatting is fucked

[honest pawn]

I'm sorry but if Space Ishtar was a Saber Wars event thing I don't see why they couldn't just do another one for Ereshkigal

[slow raft]

P sure theyre just scrambling for a way to display the affection meter thing

This reeks of bandaid solution

[old galleon]

thematically i think the affection meter is gonna stay unique to eresh

[honest pawn]

I told my friends I'd quit the game if the anni servant was a saberface

[old galleon]

then i guess you dodged that bullet

[honest pawn]

I guess I didn't say anything about a rinface

is she supposed to be both a summer and anni servant

[old galleon]

yes

summer eresh/space eresh

[summer hornet]

And a space servant lol

[old galleon]

so the s means both summer and space

[summer hornet]

Or S.S. Ereshkigal, which is funny in its own way

[old galleon]

i'll be using her 1st ascension except in fights where levitating is relevant, though

[honest pawn]

don't say it like that

[old galleon]

which so far is just....tlaloc?

[summer hornet]

I think second is vibing the hardest for me rn

[old galleon]

okay i'll be fair, i might switch between first and third occasionally

[summer hornet]

I don’t like the ascension art for 3rd that much, but the outfit itself is cool

[old galleon]

second does not look enough like eresh for me

[honest pawn]

hold on lemme go read her skills

are they out or

[old galleon]

yes

all the info is on atlas, i posted link above

[old galleon]

^

[summer hornet]

Mind, it’s all in code-speak

So not all the buffs line up with what they’re called

[honest pawn]

yeah this induces despair I think

[old galleon]

here's somethign more readable

[slow raft]

damn, i was typing it out

[honest pawn]

she's yet another Arts looper

[copper steppe]

gain 50 critical stars?

what the fuck

oh no its gather

[slow raft]

also gain 50 stars on np

[copper steppe]

oh shit

[honest pawn]

ereshkigal handcrafting her entire kit to be something I do not give a single shit about so I can save for Goetia as the NY servant

GLORY TO THE TOHSAKA FAMILY

[slow raft]

i always win on annis
servant i want -> yay new servant
servant i dont wasnt -> yay more sq for servants i want

[old galleon]

based

[honest pawn]

outside of charlie this entire year has been incredibly boring for me

I'm not complaining of course

[slow raft]

anyways, eresh doesnt seem to do anything revolutionary just yet but she might be strong

[old galleon]

i'm concerned about her np gain

her numbers are very low and she doesn't have arts or np gain buffs in her kit

having massive raw battery helps a bit

[slow raft]

maybe shell finall be a viable arts crits unit

[old galleon]

oh she's a fantastic arts crit servant

i don't even need to see her in action to tell you that

that anti-servant crit passive is very spicy

[slow raft]

also her favourability thing doesnt work if shes a support

[old galleon]

correct

and frankly the devs are based for that

stops random people from egging on ntr discourse

[slow raft]

its just to ensure that youll have to pull her if you want to use her

[old galleon]

yeah i know

but if you want to use her you were gonna pull her anyway

[honest pawn]

I do wish they'd rework the card system a bit so using DPS servants would be more viable

[old galleon]

bc needing to use support means you can't 2x castoria

[honest pawn]

alright so

lore-wise: why is she a Beast

is it because blah blah underworld death?

[slow raft]

she said beast mode and put on a swimsuit one morning

[summer hornet]

Mate… she’s Servantverse

[old galleon]

no fucking clue

that was the literal first thing i said on her reveal

[honest pawn]

I don't like how I was joking about Ciel being a Beast and then the day after she's revealed as a Beast

[old galleon]

^

[copper steppe]

gift of prophecy

[old galleon]

anyway in case you missed it her advantage/disadvantage differs from draco

she has advantage against all extra classes except beast, shielder, and avenger

she has disadvantage against avenger

and she's neutral to the 7 basic classes

[honest pawn]

I think Draco's got the cooler spread but berserker neutrality is cool

Twitter · Aug 4, 2024, 9:54 AM

[old galleon]

actually i didn't consider the implication of that

haven't seen her tested against zerks yet

but neutral against zerks would be interesting

[summer hornet]

I love this mushroom man, man

[old galleon]

killed a meme and destroyed my plans all in one stroke

okay so i know it's flying under the radar but one of the new craft essences is an ox-king clone

atk instead of buster performance

https://apps.atlasacademy.io/db/JP/craft-essence/2103

granted atk is a very common buff but still

this is the first ce like this we've seen since ox-king, i think

bro what the fuck is her 3rd ascension's extra attack

that could have been an np animation

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE5qXUQGKh4

oh hey, it's that thing i predicted would happen with this append

[summer hornet]

https://youtu.be/nLfL2I1fNEg?si=0ZZJ-209w61XWtsk

Yeah no that’s literally a year 2-3 NP right there lol

[slow raft]

oh right, arc has a high speed divine words

[summer hornet]

Breath of the Planet, technically, but yeah lol

[slow raft]

bro i hate farming for secret gems
my god im tempted to just pure prism

[summer hornet]

I’ve committed to using pure prisms to max out on certain items

Since they reset the shop and I wasn’t aware of it lol

The only items that were reset were ones that I had emptied out

[old galleon]

that's news to me, since those caster gems i bought are still gone

i don't think i've ever heard of them resetting the pure prism shop to start with

[slow raft]

the evil bones ive bought are alsos till at 0

[summer hornet]

Really? I know I’d maxed out on blue caster gems at one point, and shortly after anniversary I checked and they’d been replenished

Maybe I went crazy

[honest pawn]

CAN SHE FINALLY OBERON LOOP

[old galleon]

wat

she's always been able to oberon loop

the new thing is being able to koyan loop without needing extra bullshit like atlas institute or s ibuki

[honest pawn]

2x koyaoberon I mean

[old galleon]

yes

the new append effectively makes her 100% battery 6 turn cooldown instead of 7

[honest pawn]

I'm guessing you don't need to max out the append either

[old galleon]

you do not

[honest pawn]

well since I didn't use any of the coins I got from getting her to NP2

I'm eating very well

[old galleon]

yes you are

you'll still have to wait 2 years, granted

but being able to use her in the traditional koyan comp is much nicer for her

[summer hornet]

Nonzero chance we get the update early

[old galleon]

you don't even need oberon's batteries at all for her, but you still get the benefit of his offensive amps

[old galleon]

i find it unlikely

probably just save it to hype anni

[honest pawn]

if Ciel is a buster servant I might be in trouble nyan

[old galleon]

yeah extra record looked pretty dope

i'll be grabbing it at some point

[idle grove]

eresh is the anni pog

more inventory space is amazing

[honest pawn]

okay but

they could've also raised the bond level

[old galleon]

that's a bandaid fix, esp considering how long it takes to get to bond 15 in the first place

[summer hornet]

I have NP4, she will be looping whether I want her to or not

[summer hornet]

Would’ve been easiest to just increase the amount of bond you get for the various milestones across the board

[old galleon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZ8JKKOWBrY

confirmed neutral against zerks

[summer hornet]

[old galleon]

honestly considering she blasts most of the extra classes, i'm okay with that

if i need to kill zerks specifically i can use literally anyone else

i'll let them have that

(and she can still neutral them anyway)

[idle grove]

oh so we have gssr and also destiny again

[old galleon]

yup

[idle grove]

need to decide who tf I'm rolling for

[old galleon]

anyway, that run also demonstrates eresh can use her batteries twice per fight

you do need atlas institute tho

[idle grove]

I think it's gonna have to be this one

although the alice/aoko one is very tempting too

[old galleon]

wait that's a gssr banner for them

jesus christ that's stacked

[idle grove]

yeppers

[honest pawn]

mid, peak, peak

I will NOT be rolling

[old galleon]

hopefully whenever they do a campaign for hollow ataraxia remaster salter is on rateup

[honest pawn]

I'd like that very much

[old galleon]

whoever runs that looping spreadsheet is gonna have to completely redo it now

setting aside the obvious arc/s bb battery stuff, there's also a bunch of 3 turn buffs that can be used on turn 2 now

instead of turn 3

so that affects wave 2 damage

[slow raft]

and wave 2 damage is where many comps struggle

[old galleon]

like this is on balance a great change, but it really needed coin qol

[honest pawn]

I think cutting the appends down to 60 instead of 120 would be ideal

[old galleon]

the threshold to completely max out a 5* got bumped up to np8 bond 15

or something in that ballpark

[honest pawn]

so they added three new appends right

[old galleon]

2

[honest pawn]

ah

[old galleon]

a crit damage append, which is pretty unnecessary for the most part

and the skill cooldown one, which is absolutely essential

[idle grove]

oh wtf

Summer Ereshkigal even have her own summoning animation

Twitter · Aug 4, 2024, 9:13 AM

[old galleon]

yeah her summoning animation is great

[slow raft]

they probably cant do retroactively with how broken everything is
but i wish they made them not coin dependent

[honest pawn]

just another tally you can add to how stingy this game can be

[old galleon]

and yes, i'd say halving coin cost on appends would be a good fix

obv combined with refunding the excess already spent

it's not the only thing

but it's something

[honest pawn]

the CD thing is such a fun concept, should be good for solo servant runs too

[old galleon]

yeah

obviously i've focused a lot on buster looping bc that's a meta

but it's great in a lot of use cases

[honest pawn]

controversial anni, to be sure, but better than last year imo

but unfortunately I did not get my boy so I'll wait another year

https://tenor.com/view/fate-grand-order-ars-almadel-salomonis-gif-24621640

yeah NA

gotta look up rateup reruns for my 120s as well

[old galleon]

@summer hornet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BZF7ASSBoM

congrats, she can bg loop with 2x koyan now

[honest pawn]

am I the only one still disappointed by tonelico

[old galleon]

i had completely forgotten her 1 was 7 turns lol

probably

as i've already said, aesc is great

[honest pawn]

I guess the main issue for me was just that the big anni servant and the big summer servant that year were so similar

NO GAMES

[honest pawn]

it also... doesn't really matter but the CD means Koyami can double up on her S2

that's a marginal damage improvement

makes her damage go from 209k on W3 to 246k

oh this also means nero caster gets to double up on her S3 umu

[summer hornet]

I’ve already completed my seven stages of grief over that one

It can’t’ hurt me anymore; all that’s left is the happiness I have at Aesc getting a unit

[honest pawn]

413k to a clean 503k

[old galleon]

yeah, a lot of buster servants get quite a bit better

[honest pawn]

shortens the gap between the ceiling and the floor which I quite like

wait

does append 5 work with tonelico's S3

huh

[old galleon]

not for the lockout

the reason aesc can 2x koyan with 0% ce now is bc it applies on her 1, which is itself a 50% battery with a 7 turn cooldown

[honest pawn]

ah

[old galleon]

so the prominent new battery loopers look something like this, from what i've observed

100%: arc
50%: aesc, s bb
30%: caster liz, if you're into that

there's probably some i'm missing too

[honest pawn]

I'm so happy Arc doesn't need to do scuffed setups anymore

one Oberon and my Chaldea is saved

when does Ciel drop btw

[old galleon]

probably when the summer event starts

[honest pawn]

haven't been able to check any sites as of late

[old galleon]

which should be august 14th

[slow raft]

you know who else has a 7 turn battery and an aoe buster np?
thats right, rider of the resistance

[sour tendon]

cd reduction is exciting for a huge amount of the cast

i just hope they fix coins

[honest pawn]

FROM DOWNTOWN

[old galleon]

legitimately forgot he had that

so add columbus to the list

[honest pawn]

do NOT use Columbus

[old galleon]

well even if you wanted to, it'd be hard

he needs both mana loading and the skill cooldown appends

and he's a story locked 3*

so getting his coins is a pain

im very very mixed about this years fgo anni

[sour tendon]

if they had fixed servant coins by now then this would have been one of the best annis

now even japanese folk on twitter are malding about it calling it the worst anniversary ever

like inherently having the option to -1cd your favorite servants skills is super hype

but if youre like me or basically anybody whos ever 120'd a servant you probably have no coins for any additional appends

[summer hornet]

^^^^^

[astral drift]

Good, they need to riot

Saw a tweet of someone who used excess coins to craft grails

[honest pawn]

has fgo ever done something this controversial before

[old galleon]

rider gem : ^)

[sour tendon]

im never 120ing another servant now

its just not worth it compared to these appends

i mildly regret 120ing summer kiara now because i need that cooldown append but before overgrailing was announced i got her bonus damage append

so my np5 isnt sufficient

i love kiara but i kinda just wanted to be done with rolling for her she costed like 600sq per copy to np5

[slow raft]

p sure its just the usual extra stuff for anni

[honest pawn]

damn

still don't get why it's only 5 tickets per month

https://fixupx.com/exceddius/status/1820434115511919072?t=LGHtSZJH1JtUvmWZAp-6tQ&s=19

holy shit that's BIG

[long tree]

This doesn't affect a fair amount of players but nice for those that want to np5 ig

[astral drift]

how can lasagna afford to do this when all the mihoyoslop are overtaking fgo

[copper steppe]

they work in a shoebox please understand

[long tree]

I wish they also made the first pity like 200 or something cause 330 is a big ass amount of summons

[old galleon]

gilles needed it the most of the 3* saber pool, although my prediction was bedivere

[slow raft]

it was more of a "why bother" but ig hes esport compatible now

next buff will make his np aoe and give power mod vs evil

[old galleon]

i haven't even looked at his buff yet

what'd he get

[honest pawn]

a whole buncha shit

[slow raft]

first skill

[old galleon]

that's a whole lot of text just to say "let's turn jeanne into some crit machine"

well, situational though it may be, it's a decent skill now

also lmao at benienma getting the upgrade despite the stream apparently showing saber with an upgraded skill 1

[honest pawn]

que¿

[slow raft]

naw, it wasnt an upgraded skill, just a different icon

[old galleon]

the different icon would imply the skill being upgraded

but i guess it was a red herring

[honest pawn]

surely next anni they'll update hitcounts

it's the big 10 next year, surely they won't do anything that isn't bombastic

[slow raft]

refund for aborting a quest

[old galleon]

this might just be the biggest cope in the history of cope

hit count updates are extremely rare; i can count the ones i remember on one hand

in fact the only one i actually remember was on amakusa

his extra attack had different hit counts depending on how you did his brave chain

which eventually got standardized to being 7 hits

[sour tendon]

they need to give shuten a multi hit np

the animation looks like it hits multiple times

[torn harbor]

Oh hey sword of convallaria released fully
Checking it out

[old galleon]

yeah i'ts been out for a few days now

it's a lot like langrisser if you've tried that

[long tree]

God I remember langrisser

One of the stingiest gachas I've ever played

[old galleon]

i don't remember much about how its gacha specifically worked; i was talking more about the gameplay

[long tree]

Just reflecting on it is all, its rates were not good and the currency it gave out was stupidly small, and it had pvp

[sour tendon]

a very long time ago on my server there was a particular problem user who would always jump into gacha conversations trying to convince people they should be playing langrisser instead

[old galleon]

lmao

why tho

[sour tendon]

i don't think we ever found out

he just liked lang ig

a lot

[honest pawn]

what a fool

he must not know about the new hotness known as Limbus Company, the newest entry in the universe of Lobotomy Corporation and Library of Ruina

[slow raft]

Excellent segway roast

They finally did it

No more ruler math to try and gzess threshholds

Also new stuff

Second part of dimension shredder passive is great, first one barely matters

Awakening has great effectd except for the part where you need resonance for attack weight

Idt youll ever use the corrosion

Heath looks like a decent debuffer, idt weve had readily available blunt fragility before
Bit sad that his unique debuff is only for the turn, hell have to be fast to make up fir that
Atleast his passive helps him with it

Hp healing doen matters very little in 80% of fights but ig fairy gentleman will have an even worse time against charge gaming

Both faust and heath have their charge consuming skill on s2 and utilize chsrge potency, which i think is a good direction, remains to see if thatll be the standard or if thats just this batch

Faust is looking like an excellent dos with the potential to help her teammated a bit

And despite being a charge id she fuels fluid sack rather well

The fact that neithrr of the have a dodge makes me want to commit 0 charge rip space but oh well

[honest pawn]

I like Heathcliff's new ID

Outis EGO is eh

[honest pawn]

I feel like I should go for summer skadi the next time she's on rate-up

I like Having Things

[sour tendon]

its nice having the super supports

makes more of your servants useful

even if youre some cretin devoid of happiness and you manage to not like skadi, she probably makes quite a few servants you do like much more useful

i got to shake 2.5 years of dust off of my mhxa this event, for example

[idle grove]

and on this day

I am blessed

[summer hornet]

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[summer hornet]

Also wtf, I thought I had more time than that

I'm still neck-deep in TsukiRe

[honest pawn]

you've already played through Fate, right?

nothing to worry about, unless you really want that official translation

[summer hornet]

Yeah I've played it through, but I still planned to buy the deluxe edition for the art book

That and, it's been quite a few years

I've forgotten most of the bad endings

Barely remember wakame paradise

So it's probably about time to revisit it

[honest pawn]

uh

Wakame Paradise isn't an actual thing, not sure if you were joking about that

[summer hornet]

Wait was wakame paradise a fan addition

[honest pawn]

it was planned, but it never made it to release

[summer hornet]

Okay yeah, that was in the fan translation lol. My bad
