Dragon Balls? Are they tasty?
Does anyone have a rundown on what I'm supposed to do with all these items? I have things I can train into my characters that are EXP UP and Status UP.. Then some have little character type symbols in the corner, which I assume means it gives that type more.. Are there things I should be hanging on to? Or should I just burn them all now? I have a 5-star Altria Pendragon if that matters..

Should I bother combining my matching 3-stars together?

I know what you mean because during that tutorial it pops up when you go to pick your cards, but I'm 99% sure it's not there for me afterwards. Maybe I need to finish Fuyuki?

Man I ascended my Saber Alter and I still feel like attacking with her instead of herc is a bad idea, dude hits just too dang hard even at like level 25.

Saber alter's strength is her NP to clear trash waves and do lotsa burst aoe dmg. Herc is turn to turn consistent high damage from his buster cards.

In addition to that several enemies are coded to prioritize Saberface-attribute Servants. Dudes like Beserker Lancelot, Mordred, and Gilles.

Is Mordred herself considered a Saberface, does she break every mirror she comes across?

In the games current state you can't build an undying Arash team yet as some of the required servants are not available. The Idea is to put guts on him and after his NP where he doesn't die due to guts to rinse and repeat.

he's only useful for his np. you need a starting NP CE, his third skill that gives h im a decent amount of NP, servants that can boost his NP gauge via skills, and the mystic code that gives you a skill to boost his np gauge. then he pops his np and dies. that's all he's good for.

Her NP gain is insanely high so she can do NP > Arts > Arts and have a 70% full np gauge right after using her NP.

NP removes buffs and due to how easy it is to fill up you can also use her to boost an overcharge on other more devastating NPs.

serious. Is Jeanne and Saber supposed to have the same face? T-this is a waifu game, isn't it?! Where's the cute boys?!

Jeanne resemblance is, technically speaking, not laziness but exists because of a plot point in Fate/Zero.

Basically Caster sees Saber and mistakes her for Jeanne. So the two resembling each other makes sense.

Other Saberfaces* have no excuse though.

*Ok, maybe Mordred.

It's full of impenetrable technobable, complete non sequiturs that everyone seems to take in stride and extremely clumsy sentence structure that ends up being equal parts charming and goofy, so it basically offers the genuine Fate experience.

No you give him the Guts buff first.

So you then pop his NP twice.

Is it beneficial to redo the 10 ap daily quests even if you did it already? I can't quite do the 20 ap but the 10 ap did give me some good exp items I could use and I'm not sure if it's like you can only do it once and get the items or what.

If that's the daily you can do for exp then yeah do it. I'd honestly recommend trying to get a support Herc and using him to carry you through 20 and 30 AP exp quests since you not only get better exp cards but the master exp you get will be enough to keep leveling up your master level for a bit.

I've been using my class cards on Hercules and Waver, but I haven't dipped into my all-classes stash yet. Should I be using them on those two, or should I save them for Shielder since she's her own class?

What about the squirrel cards? My intuition tells me those I can just sink into either Hercules or Waver all at once to give them a nice stat boost, but I'd rather ask before wasting them.

Good thing Jason isn't even a Servant so someone can't even ironically do that. And given how much the Nasuverse plays up just how much of a dick he is with basically no redeeming qualities, I don't think a version of him will ever get released either.


On other matters, managed to drag myself through both the 40AP red quests despite my own Servants only topping out ~lvl 20. Thankfully Jeanne can absorb an incredible amount of damage and give the lvl 40+ support Berserkers I've been sniping when available time to work. Now I just need the taunt CEs to be released so I can do that more reliably. And/or the giveaway to happen so I can get hold of my own Heracles already. Don't really feel up to trying the triple part green 40AP quest line though, especially given the garbage you can get as final bosses in the Knight class ones (gently caress Nero's Imperial Privilege or Proto Cu's Concealment).
