Unless they changed it, when I looked at it, it had a counter for "paid quartz", which was at 0 because I haven't bought any.

e: No, it's still only for bought quartz. If you have none, it doesn't let you draw. It only asks if you want to go back, or go buy quartz.

All I know is that my "paid quartz" counter magically increased by 5 since yesterday...

Alright, I downloaded this. Get ready for my GO shitposts.

So, I'm a giant sperg and now somehow have a fresh account with Mordred and one with Francis Drake. I think I like Mordred more, but I heard that Drake is the god-queen of gacha games or something?

So if i want Jack, is the London gacha my best bet? I'm waiting to do a free 40-roll before deciding if the paid gacha is worth it, but there are too many friggin gachas right now
Jack doesn't have a rate up in the story/London gacha right now, but is also the only place you could possibly get her without paying for more quartz.

So let me see if I've got this:

There are four places for summoning atm.

#1 is the cash quartz 5* guarantee.

#2 is the event quartz with the chance for Gil/5* of the day.

#3 is the usual quartz summoning.

#4 is the usual friend summoning.

Am I right?

The rest are wrong, you're right. #3 is the Story Gacha. It has boosted rates right now because London was just released. It's the only gacha with story unlocks, thus story gacha. Wanna try for Caster Gilles, Nero, Medea Lily, Tesla or Lancer Alter? Roll here.
#1 and #2 are event gachas.

Yeah, Drake is a top tier servant. Good at charging np, make a lot of stars, and hits really hard. I would say she is better than gil when fighting against non-servant.

The only thing keeping me from breaking down in tears is that Orion's NP is Arts, which means that Tamamo's lv10 Fox Wedding can make her kinda alright.

That is, if Orion was capable of charging her NP in the first place, with her horrible NP gain.

Both of them will do you just fine. Drake is the best Rider at the moment. Mordred's NP also is an instant kill against Saberfaces due to the large bonus damage :v:

Really though it doesn't matter that much. If all else fails you can take 2 berserkers and whatever your favorite non-Berserker Servant is and pound just about anything into the pavement.

While her NP gain is horrible she gets just as much NP from Quicks as from Arts, so you can charge more often.

I should note that in terms of sheer nastiness with NPs, you can't go wrong with Arjuna if you can manage to roll him. AoE damage and chance of instant death, with a higher chance against anything Divine.

So I tried the 40 AP Daily since I've heard it gets me nice level up cards for my servants and holy molly I got kinda lucky with my level 20 party of Shielder, St. Martha and non-friend level 90 Scathach. That was easily top five most difficult battles without needing to repeat. Each turn was pretty much I NEED MORE DEEPS.

Leveled up Shielder from 20 to 28 though. Which cards are the "Almighty" XP cards? I hope I used them as suggested on Shielder at the beginning but I can't remember if I did or didn't.

I figure get my front line party to level 30 and reserve line up to 25 before continuing Okeanos.

Almighty xp card are not farmable and obtained through login rewards and events.

You might want to focus solely on 2 units if you plan on clearing story and the 40ap quests. The 3rd unit slot is taken by your friend.

For daily, you want AOE NP servant that can wipe out a wave instead. Max level Lancer Elizabeth friend would make it much easier. Pretty sure Shielder have a level cap due to story lock, so you might want to focus on leveling st. martha instead.

Try to get quartz and summon tickets for now and roll for 5* on the seventh day of the new year event.

All five star is good. Orion is just in the bottom of the five star wishlist for her anti-male gimmick in a women dominant servant list. She can hit really hard on a male though.

Orion is not terrible, but her damage is average for a 5-star and her skills tend to be focused around a particular type of enemy rather than being generally useful.

Yes, that's the day where Gilgamesh, Sakata Kintoki, Karna, Arjuna, Scathach all get a rate up on the gacha. Could be jan 6th depend on where you live.

On the other hand, I'd recommend rolling on 5th Jan EST, for the highest Scathach probability. With the addition of Tesla and the upcoming Arjuna there will be a whole lot of gold Archers that can really gently caress you over as a boss of a high-level quest, and she's the best there is at dealing with them. And due to being limited she'll be pretty hard to get as a support.
