We're getting Caster Tamamo, which is awesome, but unless she has some truly great active skills it's yet another really lovely non-damaging NP. :(

Nyaa posted:

No data on her yet. It really depends on how much np she can recharge on lv1.

Witchcraft EX: 80%->100% to drain 1 bar/20% NP
Transformation A: 30% def 1 turn, 10%->30% def 3 turns
Fox's Wedding EX: 30%->50% Arts Up to somebody

NP. Reduce team cooldowns by 1 turn, heal 1000->2000 (2000->3000) to the team (level-based) and charge 25%->50% NP% to the team (overcharge)
Also Waver-tier stats, a 5-hit Arts card, great animations and waifu.

Have they stated what class Rin is going to be? I can only think it's either Rider or Berserker. I loaded up on Rider monuments in the Orion event purely off speculation. And the false assumption that I'll be able to scout her when she is introduced to the game.

My current guess is Archer because Emiya has a my room voice line associated to an unreleased GO-original Archer. (You can guess quite a bit just from the svt IDs)

edit: I just did another couple rolls where one was a silver Berserker card that then did some electrifying effect and trasnformed into a gold Berserker card with a second Tamamo Cat. I've never seen that happen before.

Yeah it randomly happens if you roll a gold card. It's just cosmetic.

Arturia owns. Putting extremely straight-laced characters in silly situations is always hilarious, and she's practically the best character for that in the whole T-M franchise.

These two aspects of her alone makes her OP as poo poo in an Arts-oriented NP spam team. I've been using her as a support and being able to fire off two Vlad NP within two turns of each other is just ridiculous. If the Medea I have had higher NP levels, then I would have liked to test how well it does for NP spamming. If only I was able to get her from the gacha because she works great with my Vlad/Waver team.

She got like 15 stars from an extra combo too, so she could even sub into buster crit team.

I imagine the truly OP thing will happen when we get two more servants that can charge team 25% NP to form a crazy NP loop.

Well, on the bright side I may end up with one extra pumpkin after everything settles down. Managed to get one post-maintenance compensation pumpkin reward quest done in between the initial maintenance and the servers crashing into emergency maintenance again. Second quest I went into had errors on the reward screen(displayed the rewards for previous quest I'd finished, and seemingly nothing was gained once I exited), so that one's probably a wash.

That Halloween Princess craft essence looks like it would be really great once upgraded; starting with 50% NP gauge + 20% extra NP damage. During the same multi-roll in which I got the Tamamo Cat I also got the Halloween Petite Devil 5* CE, which is similar; also has the 50% to starting NP gauge and substitute the extra NP damage for extra NP charge rate (20/25% when unascended/ascended). I think I prefer that to something like Kaleidoscope; it's still really easy to charge 50% to full (I'll usually have it by the second or third round and wouldn't want to use the NP before then anyways) and continues to be helpful afterwards.

Jesus Christ, the Halloween Elizabeth Bathory's Innocent Monster skill is loving ridiculous. At level 1 it gives you 6 stars each turn for three turns and heals for 1000. I had thought that Jeanne's skill that just gives 3 stars each turn for three turns was really good, but this is more than twice as good.

All of Halloween Liz's skills are ridiculous. They all have multiple (good) effects, where virtually all the initial Servants only had one effect, or a few related effects, for each skill.

Incidentally, if people have not noticed it yet, the schedule near the bottom of this page is really bloody handy. It lists when all the Guerrilla quests are taking place, as they change by the day but the full schedule is already known. As those are by far the best source of pumpkins, they're kind of important.

Does this really matter anymore, though? Didn't they change it so that Guerilla Quests and Party Time Quests stay open until you do them?

Yes, the last regular maintenance was to make that change.

14 quartz and 14 apples. I am fine with this compensation.

Oh, did they make them permanent? I just assumed that all the ones that popped up in that timeframe, along with some compensatory ones, were made permanent due to how long the maintenance lasted.

Well, those 14 new quartz gave me enough of a margin to roll the dice again with another 40 quartz draw(wanted to make sure I had some left over). Sadly didn't get what I was hoping(another Tamamo), but did pick up two Siegfrieds along with my fourth Medea. So, while nowhere near the best one, I finally have a gold Saber.

It seems that some of the event craft essences can drop very rarely from the gurreilla quests. I just got a Halloween Princess from one, giving me the extra I needed to fully upgrade the one I had :toot:

So is there a specific Halloween map I should grinding for the optimum amount of drops?

if you happen to clear out all the geurilla and party time quest stacks. The highest AP quest is pretty much the best choice as it is the only one which drops pumpkins.

"The Foecast today calls for dark clouds, booming thunder and F.O.E.s everywhere!"
Depends how much you value the 40 pumpkin crystallized lore, if yes 40 ap, if no 30. I'm doing 30 for the Iri CE drops since maxing that one out seems worthwhile.

Freak Futanari
Apr 11, 2008
It seems like a good idea to farm the 40AP quest for cupcakes too, since pumpkins can be traded in for 50 cupcakes each (and you need a LOT of cupcakes to buy everything), making them useful even if you've already bought what you want with pumpkins.

Here's a drop rate data

quote:

== Conclusion ==

If you want to farm Pumpkins, farm the Guerilla quest, then 40 AP when it's not available
If you want to farm Bats, farm the 30 AP quest
If you want to farm Candles, farm the 20 AP quest
If you want to farm Cupcakes, farm the 10 AP quest


Here's the Quest drop and which CE to use

Hahahaha, I've just used 7 out of my 10 summoning tickets, rolled (in that order) the four-star Bazett CE, Tamamo Cat and, on the seventh roll, Caster Tamamo. Looks like I've found the only chance-based game my luck's not absolutely poo poo at.

The gatcha is very random at times, tons of people have done 10-draws and got trash while single draws give out 4 and 5* like crazy.

I'm pretty sure it's equally random at all times (ignoring events that increase chances for specific servants). Winning at a slot machine doesn't mean that slot machine has randomly increased its luck.

This Halloween Event is actually pretty decent. I've been able to max out Caster Liz's NP and get all the Ascension candies I need AND get at least one copy of the Halloween CEs in the shop. And from there, I can just buy all the ascension/skill items I need/want and I don't feel as pressured to grind (the apology quartz and apples helped.)

Not gonna bother trying to ascend the CEs unless I have enough currency left over :V

Oh, true. I wanna ascend Lancer Cu, chimera claws barely drop from the monsters while I get piles of dark sand and bones easily. :argh:

Talons of Chaos are annoying as hell to get. Missed the ones from that early event, and chimeras have such a low drop rate of them that I still haven't gotten any. And Lancer Liz needs 8! They really should have been one of the ascension items offered in the event shop this time around.
