Just get a decent number of levels into Cat. Good leveled Berserkers tend to buzzsaw through stuff at this point, and I don't recall Carmilla being an exception. Just keep Mash around and use her Invincibility spell along with your master concealment spell to keep them safe.

Hey folks, checking this game out. Pulled Zhuge Liang/Waver as well as Lancer/Cu Chulainn, Robin Hood and Marie Antoinette among the mentionables from 2 10pulls.

From what I'm reading Waver is a high demand starter. I don't mind rerolling but if the above is 'good' I'll keep it and get into the game.

waver's very good. keep him.

I've just been blowing all my stam on xp dailies today trying to get some stats meanwhile I see a bunch of 60 supports already which is bonkers.

Level up Cat some and she'll shred Carmilla. At least until Carmilla drains Cat's NP and immediately one-shot NPs her back, going by how that fight went for me. :v:

Well that's weird, the free summon refreshed but not the daily login bonuses. Oh well.

They don't roll over at the same time. IIRC it's midnight and 4am JST for the JP version. The free FP roll also had timezone fuckery because the UI will use your local time for rollover but the server will actually use server time, so you'd get errors or weird behaviors depending on the mismatch. I kinda doubt they fixed it for the US release.

Your best bet is probably leveling Tamamo Cat a bit more and going for a Berseker or Waver Support Servant. If you want to devote resources to leveling a 1-star, Kojiro is at peak power in Orleans.

I've been going through Orleans with Kojiro/Martha. I wasn't looking to run with a semi-cannon ship meme team, but the game handed me 5 Kojiro's so he's tearing things up with a max level NP.

I don't really know what I am doing, but for her using a Caster (I just used the plot Chu, no clue if your other one is better) and forcusing on her first and ignoring the adds worked --- the adds were doing piddly damage to the caster even at 2x, and doing 2x to her was incredibly
useful. Probably took some luck, too.

I'm kinda sad about the 20 hours rerolling for Waver turning up nothing but Jeanne has been amazing so far, if only she wasn't attempt #4 out of 20... I really wanted to try to pull double SSRs! :D

Tarezax posted:

For whatever reason France doesn't seem so difficult this time around, Probably because of the easier time pulling 5*'s from the gacha? I have him and leveled him to 30 just in case though.

****

The story translation does make a significant improvement in France, but there's still some non-sequitors.

Such as one point Ritsuka/ko gets to answer a dialogue prompt with "Fake Monsters are pretty common." Or something similar. Which made me very confused and couldn't understand the context. A fan translated it apparently as: "There are many liars who would deceive otherwise" which sounds like it would make more sense but I don't remember the scene anymore. :v:

I really gotta say FGO NA has been incredibly enjoyable, the feeling of "I now know what the buttons do!?!?!" just never ends.

I've been helping out my friend, like should he level CE's etc (My understanding is, there isn't a point to level them past like their initial ascension point; level the ones you use so your Servants get the bonus but leveling a 5* CE that's LB'd has been taking me over a year and still only level 96...).

He's used a couple of quartz clearing the 40 AP as to "Not lose the time already invested" :negative:

(He has a good job that pays well so he doesn't care if it's a bit of a waste.)

I'm really digging the discord, great to have a platform to discuss FGO with people in real time.

Right now it seems like assuming the gacha rate up schedule follows the JP one, then I have something like 6 months to gather quartz before any interesting Servants appear (and boy howdy does Winter look rough for my wallet). I don't know how much quartz I can get in that time, but the more pulls the better.

Also apparently reddit has spotted some American Whales, they do exist! FGO NA might be safe yet!

I used her back in the JP version and I'd say she's the bet offensive Assassin for now. She has the highest attack of the Assassins currently available, but she generates less stars than Cursed Arm Hassan. She does have skills that make up for it by helping her crit more often. I'd say use her if you don't have Carmilla, or if you just love her character-wise.

For those not aware, theres a button in your party setup screen called "Line Up"



The main benefit of using this is that you can choose whether the support is fielded with your initial three, like so



So if your friends are all fielding lvl 1 Mashu, you don't have to take her along.
