The only situation where the black grail CE seems useful is if you're going into a fight where you KNOW you will have to use your command seals/quartz to revive at some point, since everyone revives with 100% NP when you do that.

Otherwise it's just going to get you killed.

They need to introduce a 40 AP daily that's like the XP one, but for ascension mats.

I was trying to roll Saber Alter and got Sakata Kintoki instead

3 4* CE and 1 5* CE out of 5 tickets (last 4 CEs shown), which is not bad considering the stories I hear about people getting multiple black keys. Maybe I'll get Formalcraft for Waver one day if I still don't get any more dupes. At least getting one of many types will help me with team building and improving team compositions in the future.

This Fate/grand order stuff goes over my head, but I do know for certain that Ruler makes for some drat good phone wallpaper.

It appears Takeuchi just not cannot control himself when it comes to Saber.

The first time I used Jeanne was an accident on one of the 30 AP Nero events. She was level 1. Not only was she my last servant standing, but I actually won that battle.

With a level 33 Artoria and a level 27 Jeanne I have been able to clear all the content and events in F/GO. Except for Orion. Jeanne didn't need dead weight Saber in that fight.

So at least from a gameplay perspective, she lives up to the marshmallowy fanservice hype.

While she's always pretty good (mostly due to her ability to half all non-berserker damage), she doesn't stay as amazing as she seems from level 1-30 or so. Her stat growth drops off to the point where she gains like 5 HP/ATK per level during level 30-60 or so, and other 5* servants with different growth curves will have much higher attack/hp by level 40-50 or so. Her NP and damage resistance are very useful during difficult content, but her damage is too low to be a very good option for stuff like grinding dailies.

It's a shame how even the highest difficulty ascension item daily only ever gives 1 silver or gold statue. It would be nice if it could at least give some non-statue ascension items, though I imagine it doesn't since non-statue ascension items seem to be character, rather than class, specific. Still, dropping 2 statues instead of just 1 would be nice.

And Jeanne's stats pick back up after her mid-level slump.

…My hands are sweaty.
…I don't know what I'm doing.
My wallet's about to explode from pain, fatigue, and emptiness.
But just a bit more.
Everything will end once I roll the singles.
There's no one in my way.
There's no one getting in my way anymore.

----But.

"Haa--ah--"
The menu wavers.
In front of the crater, the Great Holy Gacha.
Bathed in the ruddy glow of quartz, is standing.

"---Kotomine Kirei."

"Yes. It seems we've both managed to survive, Emiya Shirou."
A voice filled with strong will.
As if it's fate, the man blocks my way through this desolate realm.

"-What are you doing?
There's nothing for you to roll anymore."
I don't ask him how he's alive.
He's dying.
I don't feel quartz from his body.
There's a black stain where his wallet should be.
…Like me, a short-lived whale that's hit the shore.

I don't hear his coins.
He doesn't have much longer to live.
This is not speculation, but a predication.
Kotomine Kirei will die in a few minutes, even if he doesn't buy more quartz.

"Do not ask something so obvious.
There is only one goal for me: to give birth to the 10 rolls."
"---What? You can't do that. They won't become yours."

"Of course not. I cannot intervene with this roll, and I have no intention to.
But I have told you. I will spook anything that comes to life.
This is about to be rolled. So it is only natural for me
to protect it from an enemy that tries to spoil it with singles."

"…Are you insane? What are you saying with that dying body of yours? And even if it's born like you wish, you'll only get---"

"The same goes for you. There is no sanity here. Our end will be the same, even if we accomplish our rolls.
You will roll singles, while I will protect the 10 roll.
But there is nothing to be gained, no matter whose goal is achieved. You came here knowing that.
---This is a meaningless battle. We are two madmen engaging in useless folly."

"-----------"

Kotomine will not back down.

He won't retreat, and I can't trace my rolls as long as he's here.

I need time to project.
He'll spook my rolls if I show such an opening.

"…Why? Why are you going so far to protect the 10 roll?
Even if it's done, you gain nothing but black keys. So why?"
Even on the verge of bankruptcy, why does he approve of mankind's enemy, all evils of this world?

"There is no room for questions. The Gacha is my only pleasure.
---Emiya Shirou.
Just as you feel supreme bliss in others' ascension drops and gold servants,
I feel supreme bliss in others' Black Keys."

"------"
"First of all, why deny it? It is arrogance to assume it is evil before it is rolled.
Is it not love to allow a card's life that yearns to be drawn to the world?"

"Don't bullshit me. They've spooked many people already. I can't let them out."
"Oh. Then let me ask. What is good and evil? Are you saying rolling atomic gatorade is an absolute evil?"

"That's..."

...I can't answer such a question.
Good and evil mean nothing to me.
The justice Emiya Shirou believed in disappeared the instant I decided to roll every Sakura.

"---Fair enough. There is no answer from the start. That's what the rolls are like.
There is no clear answer, and they accept a changing meta. We have no
absolute waifus or setups from the very beginning."

"Rolls have both good and evil results, and it's up to your luck to decide which is which. The
start is at zero, and there is no crime in drawing more cards. I thought I'd already told you."

"---Yeah. You said there's no crime in the card even if it's poo poo."

"Correct. Rolls become good or evil through desire sensors and luck.
A certain copypasta mentions that 10 rolls are superior to summon tickets. Why?
Because there are rolls who know of evil, but do not become evil.
It's different from summon tickets, who only know of free rolls since
they are used.
10 Rolls have evil, but can draw many good cards, so they are superior
to summon tickets, who only summon one card."

"----And at the same time.
There are moments of goodwill shown by evil cards.
There are bad stats shown on a whim by gold cards.
The contradiction. The coexistence of Good and Evil in the holy gacha that makes people roll.
Drawing cards is a crime by itself, and there are punishments because one has E luck.
Jeanne exists with the rolls, and Black Keys exist with the rolls.
Therefore---"

"---You cannot inquire about the spooked cards of one who has not yet been rolled.
There is no result that is born as spooked, that is rerolled by everyone.
There is no reason to be punished until it has rolled."

That's Kotomine's answer.
That man pardons "all the quartz rolls of this world" for that reason alone.
