Since Agartha is happening tomorrow, I might be able to do the remainder of the 4* for then, but I'll try when I can find the time.

It's a reference to an old method of torture that involved releasing humans into a forest with a wild tiger running around. The feast was the people. :v:
(Nowadays it just means a particularly debauched feast)

We rendered that one as "Opulent Feast of Sunshine Catnaps" or "Opulence of Sun and Shine and Catnap", so Aniplex did pretty well there. But yeah all names involving Tamamo are super long and hard to translate.

Real talk though, the Camelot actually "Jerusalem", kind of, but we'll get there chapter does some neat things with Arthurian lore. It puts some spins on certain characters that I don't see explored much, but they make sense, especially in context and it really helps Fate's take on the myth feel like it's own thing.




I totally love different spins on Arthurian stuff, hell I'm pretty sure learning who Saber was was what initially piqued my curiosity about the series as a whole so I'm looking forward to that!

Captain Baal posted:

You're gonna get so little mana prisms you are better off doing like both 30 and 40 ap quests and melting down whatever silver exp you get and that'll get you more MP alone than any of the lower end dailies would've gotten you and you can still keep up on master levels.

Is this still true for the Sunday dungeon which is all-class or should you slam the 40 AP one there?

Ruby Prism

With this, I'll be able to make the ultimate pie!
I'm having a hard time seeing how a lvl 50 Jeanne is able to solo the 40 AP daily. I guess I just suck?

I picked someone's 1st ascension lvl 52 Jeanne. My team (lvl 18 Hercules, lvl 19 Waver, backup lvl 15 Martha and backup lvl 11 Shielder.) still died early in the second stage despite using skills to try to keep them up. Hercules ate a giant crit to the face and folded on the first stage in fact.

Jeanne then slowly chipped away at the hands, eating a NP in the process because she couldn't kill anything fast enough by herself, barely getting into the third stage. (Her -NP gauge skill only works on servants, huh?) And then the third set of hands finished her off before she could kill even the second one.

I guess I'll have to wait until my entire team is higher lvl. Using all my exp. cards I can only get either Hercules or Waver to lvl 30, and I doubt that's enough to be worth the risk of nuking almost my entire AP gauge and getting nothing out of it.

Feed them to good CEs from the strengthening menu.

CEs can eat other CEs for xp. If they eat another copy of the same CE, their max level goes up. If they eat four other copies of the same CE, then their effect goes up.

Yo aesthetic question do later servants look and move better than some earlier ones? Because I'm like halfway through Orleans and every Buster animation is the same.

Also the meme about Kojirou is fuckin' legit, this guy is carrying me all the way across the country.

Here's what Cu looks like in the JP game right now.

Overall animation quality doesn't really start to shine until, you guessed it, Camelot. Until then things are pretty bland, with a few exceptions.

Yeah, the animation at the start was very bland and samey, but after it started raking in money basically every new servant had unique animations, and they've gradually been going back through and upgrading old servants.

No clue where in the process the English client is. In any event, newer fancier servants will be newer and fancier.

There's some hyperbole but Jeanne does make it happen since she can eat a shitton of hits, block enemy charge attacks then regen. She still needs a bit of assistance for the first two waves. Mostly servants to sponge the damage. Throw in your mystic codes and Jeanne hardly goes down.

If it's the same dailies as the original release, yes, there are some materials that just do not actually exist.


e; Got the new Kiritsugu CE. Sounds like it increases debuff success rate against Casters (35% at base), in addition to invincibility penetration.

My first week blunders that I really wish I had done better:

-Didn't realize I could roll my "own" 10 so soon, so I wasted a couple of hours going through the Prologue when I should've been rerolling.
-I admittedly had a Level 1 Mash support party for at least a day or two
-The dailies you want to do are the EMBER or red dailies, not anything else. Definitely wasted a bit of time yesterday with a few "oh these are 30 AP, I should do them!" and then got disappointed when all I got was QP at the end

You should do all the dailies at least once anyway so you can hoard summon tickets for when you really need them.

It's been pointed out a few times that grinding the 30AP daily is a much better way to get mana prisms than doing the lower level ones because you can sell 3* exp for prisms.

My current, tentative plan is to alternate between 30AP and Orleans (there are no more singularities available after that for now, right?) until I'm ready to ascend some of my 4/4/5* dudes, then grind the 30AP and hopefully 40AP eventually for prisms.

I saw somewhere that Altria sucks but no explanation as to why. She is my 5 star, and I'm rather fond of her from Stay Night, which is all I've seen of the series. I'm not going to reroll or anything because I have some 5 star equip stuff and I'm into Orleans too, I'm just curious why she isn't better regarded.
