Not quite as lucky as these double rolls you've all been getting, but Caster gacha gave me Sanzou (woulda preferred Waver but it's better than a Tamamo dupe I guess), and managed to roll Musashi with the leftover quartz.
From initial testing, she's pretty drat good and the double hitcount makes for some BS NP gain for a turn which makes for a very neat skill. Really dig the triple buster deck

We have the amazing roster of:

  • 1. The first two (?) Heavens Feel movies, which are going to be a whole lot of talking and not much else.
  • 2. An adaptation of Fate/Extra, which was already not that hot, and with the worst possible choice of lead. It also might have already been spoiled.
  • 3. An adaptation of Fate/Apocrypha, which basically only has the cool fights in the first half going for it. And it's being done by A-1 sooooo.
  • 4. An adaption of 3rei's Miyuverse Shirou flashback, which is targeted at basically nobody since the core Prisma group doesn't care and everyone else is going to drop it because it's Prisma.
  • 5. An adaption of Fate/Grand Order, which the writers are on record saying they phoned in until Okeanos and didn't really start popping until America. It is either an OVA series (in which case we're not gonna hit the cool stuff till 2018) or a TV series (in which case there isn't going to be nearly enough budget to pull off the scale).

I'm not really expecting much.

Ugh, the limited servants. I've already spent 666 gems and 26 tickets attempting for Rin, so sunk cost dictates that I burn everything on her, but I'm dying for a good 5* single target NP like Scathach. Why couldn't the gacha dates be flipped. I've got a week to stew on it, I guess.

Not quite sure which paid gacha I'd want to roll for or which day I want to spend my gems on. I could use a good AoE archer so Gil and Ishtar would be nice, but taking a shot at Lancer Artoria would be nice too, though no idea if the paid gacha cares about story unlocks (still haven't cleared camelot).

Also, rip Olga.

Noo Jack requires like 15 Infinity Gears to fully ascend and I only have 1 (I had spent them on some other servant, forget which). On the upside I got Arjuna to 90, so I guess I'm pretty ready for any Saber battles.

edit: Is there any reason why some single target NPs do base damage of 600% and others do 1200%? That seems like a kinda huge difference. I have noticed that the 600% ones tend to be Buster, but even that wouldn't account for such a big gap.

Buster do 600%, Arts 900% and Quick 1200%. Its literally the same damage though

Yeah, okay.

0 to 95% NP in an America story mission with ABQ Musashi only, all crits, with the double hit skill active. She has the Male Hakuno CE to capitalize on her buster cards and she's only level 62 right now.

The double hit skill actually isn't that great; the damage cut is so high it neuters her. It's pretty much only good for charging up her NP like crazy off a critical from her single Arts card.

Musashi is surprisingly balanced.

Single target Quick and Arts NPs have higher multipliers to account for not inherently doing x1.5 damage like Busters. Quick NPs in particular have the highest of all multipliers since they have an x0.8 damage multiplier.

It seems like when the skill is maxed it also gives +30% damage, though, which is always nice (I think she also has a skill that gives a bonus to Buster damage, so combined they would be a big damage buff).

The 3rei Shirou flashback is perhaps the only thing remaining that can redeem the series but I'm not optimistic considering how much they've dropped the ball it bounced back up and hit them in the face.

What's wrong with the Extra adaption, which Hakuno did they pick?

I hope what with how often both genders of the Protagonist are depicted in CE's and since female Protagonist showed up albeit briefly she recovers from Cryo and joins the regular cast. She can attract all the Husbando's.

I liked Grand Order anime so far as generally being pretty good and made me miss Olga a *lot*; it isn't quite up there on Ufotable's level but the fight scenes are generally decent and it explains the plot well enough; I wish they didn't just breeze through learning her Noble Phantasm and why does she still summon a Wall? I think the regular original shield works fine.

I do feel that Mashu vs. Artoria Alter lacks some gravitas, but mostly good. EMIYA vs Cu felt more on the nose, more consistently good.

Kanshou and Bakuya are like, inconsistently sized again.

Lancer Medusa Alter seems cool, she has Harpe too. I wonder if she'll appear as a Servant.

I like how Roman and Solomon have the same voice it seems. :)

Jeez, when I put together a party with a bunch of Buster and critical damage buffs regular attack crits can do way more than even single target NPs. I just hit for like 120k with Quetzalcoatl (with a single attack, not a chain) and could have done a lot more (my support character didn't really add anything to the bonus other than a Charisma). Crit-based builds in general seem kind of fun because they're more interactive than something like a Buster-chain focused party.

If I get a full NP + two buster card crits off on JAlter she does something ridiculous like 350k damage in that turn if all my buffs are active.

If you read the text closely (and I note that even GT gets it right), it's damage per hit. Which makes perfect sense, because the game calculates total damage first and distributes it to each hit second. Twice as many hits = Half as much damage on each one. The total doesn't change.
Then if you level it up it adds up to 30% more damage per hit, which means it's equivalent to an 30% attack boost.

SHAFT shafted hard in the PV so it's kinda hard to know what they're planning, but there was a very quick shot of girl Hakuno so probably her?

To be fair the game didn't go in depth either. As for the wall, it correlates better with her upgrade later on, although it does look a bit goofy.
