Nothing better than swinging around a little girl like a flail.
How boring.


However, what's not boring is Liz doing a psycho crusher for her NP.

Ugh, it's been a while since I've been so disappointed.
I guess I had my own expectations built on how Cleo looks/sounds.

Liz is the real star servant of this event. Aside from being a dq warrior parody, she also probably has the best/flashiest np out of this event's featured servants.

I have never been more disappointed by a servant since Jack's design was revealed years ago when Apocrypha was some lovely web browser game.

At least there's Jack from Fate/strange fake if that's any consolation at this point.

So why is Cleopatra an Assassin anyway

Because AFAIK the only remotely assassin-y thing she did was... uh, against herself when she had the asp bite her.

Cleo's final card art is so BORING compared to her actual final sprite.

Used a Cleopatra and I'm starting to warm up to her. One of her buster attacks is to moon walk and flick crit stars at enemies.a

If anything, she'll style on punks despite her boring character design.

Final card art boring as gently caress, final sprite, is pretty loving metal.

If I recall my Cleo history correctly, she also had her youngest sister killed and her brother-husband too. Assassin's starting to make more sense.

Don't like her voice though.

Can we pinpoint the moment the franchise stopped bothering to explain the some of the servants being women? Was it Drake?

I don't think they stopped doing that with the exception of Nobu.

Altera: Space Alien
Orion: It's Artemis
Ushi: No explanation
Xuanzang: The original text is ambivalent and Xuanzang is depicted as a woman on several media before Fate.
Da Vinci: Used Grail Magic to attain the perfect body of the Mona Lisa
Onis: No explanation

Nobu is the only genderswap who hasn't been explained, and she's quite frankly a joke character to begin with.

Drake: Hinted to actually be Queen Elizabeth.
Altera: The Attila we knew was one of her aides, and everyone just assumed she was a concubine or something.
Ushi: A lot of Yoshitsune's entire life was shrouded in mystery to begin with, you could pretty easily squeeze in a genderswap.
Orion: It's actually Artemis.
Okita: He was well-known for being very pretty, and his role was often played by girls.
Jack: Jack the Ripper's identity was a mystery to begin with.
Frankenstein's Monster: The setting details of Frankenstein were changed up.
Shuten/Ibaraki: Their stories were sorta mixed up going into Fate, and there's a tale where Ibaraki transformed into a girl.
Xuanzang: His gender has such little impact on his character that many retellings of Journey to the West (including the most famous one in Japan) had him played by a girl.
Raikou: Yorimitsu historically had a sibling with a feminine name. The writers ran with it.
Da Vinci: Was actually gender swapped due to the fame of Mona Lisa.

Siegfried sending us back to the beginning was just the perfect Ghosts and Goblins reference and a fitting dick move. This event is hilarious, I just about died when Lancelot showed up disguised as his berserker form and hurled insults in english at us, guy must really not want to be scolded by Mashu.

Wow, the shop theme is really nice.

It's definitely wrong but did Ozy use his loving NP to crash Cleo's pyramid into the castle? Also Cleo collapsing in front of Caesar is hilarious to me for some reason.

I'm thinking of tossing a couple grails at my Shikisassin. She has significantly better skills than Jack and an L5 NP, which, to an extent, makes up for not having the ability to deal extra damage to females with it.

So what is NP5. Like do people manage to consistently get their NP bar to 300% or is it about chaining three NP's to 500%? Consistently?

NP5 just means getting enough duplicate copies of a Servant to get their NP to level 5.

Depends on the stage. Usually the first wave is weak enough for you to get as much charge before they die from your art/quick hits. Bringing a weak servant with bunch of art card help.

Beside double waver plus really good self np charge (high speed chanting, etc), tesla can also boost an np to count 100% higher.

Lastly, spend three command seal and wait for next day recharge to boost it 400% total.

You usually only needs to charge to 300% and np chain it to 500%.
