They're level 30 and level 21, so you should find a level 30 support one if you can but the other can just be level 20.

All three versions have Protection from Arrows, so all three are pretty good at evade tanking. Caster Cu is terrible outside of that though. Prototype Cu is decent, but has something of a narrow niche. Fate Cu, on the other hand, is really bloody good for a number of reasons.

I'll just maybe ascend her once I guess, just not heavily invest in her unless I start overflowing with resources for some reason

That comic's part of the reason that despite rolling some better accounts I'm using the one with Altera. Bad civilization+Attila being a girl from space who flies around slicing and whipping people with a rainbow sword is too much for me to ignore.

There's no such thing as a "bad" Servant. Every Servant is your waifus and husbandos, and every one must be treated accordingly. Share the love, and you will be rewarded. Fate Namaste night.

Suzuka Gozen, who was introduced with the CCC event, is now one of my favorite waifus. She's basically the Japanese equivalent of a valley girl and even sounds the part.

Altera is actually a pretty good roll, much better than Artoria at least. She is the second strongest Saber in the game, and she's sixth from the top of all playable Servants. And really, she ought to be considered the strongest Saber and the fifth Servant from the top because Arthur fittingly has almost identical problems to Artoria.

What's dragging her down in NA right now is that she doesn't have her strengthening quest (which lets her fill a star absorber niche) and Merlin (who makes anyone with any Buster cards at all automatically 20x better) hasn't been released yet. Merlin is gonna take a looooong while to come out though.

The confusion I've seen people have with Altera and Altria is part of the reason I'm so annoyed Type Moon is sticking with Altria.

Tae posted:

Eventually there will be so many Servants with Charisma or some variant of it that you kinda just stop caring about the skill beyond "oh okay it's this again". And, well, Waver's right there.

When the OP said Artoria was bad, it was mostly talking from the long run perspective. For what the game is right now she's perfectly serviceable. But as the game continues, all of Artoria's skills will lose luster, and having an AOE NP quickly becomes more of a burden than a boon.

But if you like Saber, don't worry cause the moment Okita comes out you'll get a glance at what a true waifu can do.

That is factually wrong, but the game is so easy that it's a pointless argument at the end of the day. With the exceptions of Waver, Jack, and Merlin your team comp matters way more than the specific Servants you choose.

Drunken Kansai Aoi Yuuki is best Aoi Yuuki.

Drunken Aoi Yuuki is basically her smug character from Reset. Goofy/Serious Aoi Yuuki is basically her character from symphogear.

We just need another Aoi Yuuki that's Tanya.

Time doesn't go linearly in the story, it jumps forward by a few months with each singularity. That's why there's no actual story event for new year's, just a gacha. Of course, that does raise the question of how we could have had two halloweens in that time, but, uh, shutu p.

Japan says you can expect one every 479AP spent. You probably don't want to be spending AP on that--events will give them out or have them in their shop eventually.

edit: Oh, you probably mean the fangs. Yeah, those aren't quite as disgusting but a similar story in that you're better off just waiting.

How does leveling curves work with Ascensions? If you got an S-wave type curve is it like 15 bad lvls/15 good/15 bad/15 good etc etc taking into account Ascensions/Grails?

Grail levels are all linear. And S-type doesn't alternate, it just gets better as it moves toward the middle level out of their natural maximum and falls off as it moves away from it.
