Orion and Artemis are a two for one package, so unless you really need to specify it doesn't matter which name you use. :v:

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.

Thanks! It's Scatha I want. :)

I got Frankenstein's Monster with a ticket! Saving the last few I have in hopes of getting Scatach later... (granted I have enough quartz for two 10 rolls but yeah).

Do the tickets work differently from Quartz or is it just like having 4x Quartz?

You can't do a 10-draw with tickets, that's the only difference.

I just burned a bunch of 3-star stuff to get enough Mana Prisms for a Summon Ticket and somehow got 12 million QP. Not that I'm complaining, I had 300k before, but still, that seems strange?

Also did the Scathach summon and pulled her (yay) and a Kaleidoscope essence. I need a billion more levels before I can think about equipping craft essences (can't even use Scathach right now), but it looks quite strong.

Yessss. Drew Scathach on my seventh Summon Ticket - was starting to get annoyed after 5 of the preceding 6 had been 3* CEs, but all's forgiven. Now debating whether to blow my other seven, and possibly a 10 roll, in an attempt to get another copy.

For those who didn't follow last night's Nico Nico live stream event, they gave rewards based on the following rule:

2 Dice will be rolled during the stream

Number of QP given will be based on 1m * Rolled number

Number of Quartz given will be based on the total Rolled number of the 2 dice, Up to 12


Naturally, the voice actors of Arjuna & Mashu rolled it fair and square to get us the 12 mil,12 quartz, some Summoning ticket and 4 Golden Apples today.

Arjuna's pose during his NP.

Other notable things
- Viewer requested Mashu voice actor to say 'little sister's lines'.

I wonder if Nasu will break his "100 years at least" rule for someone like Vassily Zaitsev or the White Death; but there's probably plenty of Russian and Finnish Heroic Spirits available from ancient times to be honest, like Koschei or whoever is the protagonist in the Kalevala; Lemminkainen?

I didn't get any notable servants with the tickets and quartz I've obtained since getting Mordred, but I got another Kaleidoscope as consolation from the very last roll :toot:

My farming line-up looks really good now since I can switch in a sub (Lancelot/Nobu/Caster Liz/Santa Alter) and wreck face with multiple NPs. I just need the levels to support the total cost :negative:

...Huh. Decided to spend some more Summon Tickets tonight and managed to get a second copy of Scathach in three. Much as I'd love to try and max her NP out, I think I've stretched my luck enough for one day, and unlocking her NP bar up to 200% is a real prize in and of itself. As great as she is, I do need the rolls for other Servants too, after all.

Yes, Essences activate the moment that servant enters the fight. Outside of the clothes that give you a skill to swap your servants in-battle, you have no control over their activation.

They don't, intentionally or because it's bugged. Mashu has become a good example of it, with how people are using her as an NP sponge by giving her a dodge/invincibility CE, and swapping her in to taunt.

It's likely intentional. Makes no sense otherwise. I'd thought it was bugged to progress, actually.

Oh right, tomorrow they're finally fixing Black Holy Grail among some other minor stuff.

Mata Hari's legend I think would have originated during WWI, which is just slightly under 100 years from when Fate:Grand Order takes place.

I imagine a catalyst for Tesla would be his notebook while someone like Simo Häyhä you would need his rifle or uniform.

Is there a reason to focus on the story right now unless I want Medea Lily or Saber Rider? I'm just playing around with Chaldea quests, trying to make my team bigger and buffer, although my low-level stamina really isn't agreeing with that playstyle

Also, what do I do with 3-star essences and servants? I have my team mostly set up, do I want a full team of every class too? Or do I just burn those motherfuckers for more Summoning Tickets?
