Any suggestions for the fight against Meta Claws For Hands girl? I got past the first bar with MHXA but her second and third bars Mashu died on me and everything fell apart. I'm trying Mashu-Waver-Merlin now for stall.

I'm only at like 38 missions complete, though I have probably 10+ that are really close to being finished.

In terms of efficiency for grinding the event currency, is it better to use the CE that gives +1 to drops, or to use on of the CEs that increase the appearance rate of certain enemies (which I'm assuming can increase the total number of trash enemies you encounter?)?

I believe I'm at 63 or 64/100 missions done. Having Melt around really helps, although I wish my support list had Passionlip so I can take care of Rider/Caster/Assassin mobs more easily.

Drop CE if you need more chips, enemy spawner CE to get those missions done.

If you have a Saetri on your friend list, I can swap out my Melt for a Lip. Although Lip's NP isn't that great damage wise.

You're using the wrong classes. Alter Egos do 1.5x damage to Casters, Riders, Assassins and the usual Berserkers, but only 0.5x to Sabers, Archers and Lancers. Bring a knight class team and her NP won't do enough to kill them, the BB Slots heal per turn should take care of the rest. (Bring servants with evade if you want some insurance)
I used friend Bride, Liz, Orion (I wanted to take advantage of Liz's double charisma bonus forgetting that Orion counts as male) and Kuro, Robin and Cu in the backrow. Robin and Cu didn't even get a chance to play, and Kuro only showed up for the last half bar or so.

Personally speaking, I'm hoping the events cool off in difficulty for a bit. Ever since Camelot, I feel like I've been massively punching above my weight (last night I beat Meltlilith), and there's only so long that can go on.

Certainly doesn't help I have absolutely miserable gacha luck, which means armies of 5-stars making fights simple is simply beyond my ability.

I feel like a lot of content (or at least the full extent of the content) is being tailored towards people with a bunch of 4/5* servants, since those are the people who spend money on the game.

It definitely does seem like some content would be a huge pain in the rear end with weaker servants, since even with a bunch of 5* I struggle to beat some fights without using the command seal revive. The events seem generally easier than Camelot/Babylon, though, at least in frequency of difficult fights.

I'm using more Quartz to revive than I thought I would, but when you're not getting anything out of gacha, might as well. It's very frustrating, but that's also why I'm not fighting the final boss of this event before I debuff her fully and even get the right to use Command Spell / Quartz to revive. I have a very antagonistic relationship with the game. Love / hate would also be appropriate.

I've grailed Cu Lancer, Lancelot Saber, and Lancelot Berserker to 90. I decided to do the last one after failing to get Cu Alter and figuring he's good enough as a Buster Berserker substitute.

I would probably grail Ibaraki if I had her. She's a good girl and a single target Zerker.

I grailed up Cu Lancer for maximum survival up to 100 and I finally decided to grail up Ryougi at least up to 90 bc I'll never have a 5* Assassin. I think I have a 5* in almost every class except that one and Saber.

Archer 5* - Arjuna
Lancer 5* - Swimsuit Tamamo
Saber 5* - zilch
Berserker 5* - Vlad the Rad
Rider 5* - Iskander
Caster 5* - Da Vinci
Assassin 5* - dammit
Other 5* - Meltlilith

It's kinda funny bc the only 5* I was super determined to get was Iskander and I had to save up free quartz for months before the F/zero event and that drained me dry. Pretty much every other Servant I rolled for sincerely, it was just middle fingers from the gacha.

Except Swimsuit Tamamo, she seems pretty good. I also have Arjuna and he seems kinda underrated to me. His second skill is really good and gives him very good survivability.

Yeah, I'm like ehhhhhhh at Da Vinci being my 5* Caster when I'd prefer a Waver for best support or a Sanzang for kung fu action. I actually like Iskander a lot, his NP gain isn't half bad and his crits can be deadly and his first two skills are are okay buffs. I prefer using Ibaraki over Vlad as a single target Berserker.

Tamamo is okay if for nothing else, but to kick male Archers in the nuts and that's all I really need.

In the FGO anime is Archer's and Cu's conversation about "will that shield resist that sword, or will that sword pierce that shield?" and Emiya says he heard something similar a long time ago an allusion to the vn? I vaguely recall it but I'm not sure which chapter or route it refers to.

Are there other allusions to the vn?

I'm tempted to do this considering I probably won't be spending any money on quartz. Unless my regular income increases a lot or something.

The 'shield/sword' thing is a reference to the scene in UBW where Lancer tosses Gae Bolg at Rho Aias, I think.

As for the CCC event's difficulty, eh. I have 4/5 stars, but I tend to try and beat events with my bronzies/silvers first and haven't had too much trouble. They're grailed, naturally, but here's some good servants to try raising if you have trouble with events and don't have golds.

F/SN Cu (Insanely survivable, good NP, can often just cheese bosses with his survivability + instant death)
Hans (A support servant on par with Merlin and Zhuge.)
Shakespeare (He has a powerful Buster Up, only slightly weaker than Merlin's, but his hits the whole party and has a shorter cooldown. Only lasts 1 turn, tho.)
Mozart (His third skill just craps 40 stars on you.)
Mash (She's Mash. A powerful tank.)
George (He can tank forever, and his NP hits surprisingly hard believe it or not.)
Blackbeard (Voyager of the Storm is a very strong buff, and he has a full party heal for 4,000 on a 6 turn cooldown, with the only catch being they have to be female. Most bronzies/silvers are male, but Mash exists, not to mention your gold support will probably be female)
Hundred-Faced Hassan (She's just a very powerful single target assassin. Only weakness is her self-buff is pretty RNG heavy.)
Caesar (Incitement is a pretty strong buff, especially combined with his NP being Quick)
Robin Hood (His NP does amazing damage to poisoned enemies, and hardly anything resists poison)
Jaguar Man (Strong single target buster Lancer. She does more damage than 4 star buster lancers, like Elizabeth, due to her entire skillset just being self-buffs.)
Ushiwakamaru (Tengu tactics is a great party buff, her NP does good damage, and Charisma is bland but never a bad thing to have.)
Asterios (His NP is a debuff that lasts 6 turns - with the right party, he can just chain it and debuff the enemy into the ground.)

When grailed to level 80ish, these servants are on par with most 4 stars in most ways, and it only takes a couple of grails.
