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.

Canonically events happen roughly at the time they get released. They mention how it's been a year and such.

Siegfried's NP description is so poorly worded I can't tell if it only hurts dragons or just hurts dragons more, but this wiki I found seems to indicate it hits everyone. If I only have him and Lily for 4* Sabers is he worth leveling up to use instead of her?

Yeah, unfortunately there aren't any Ruler EXP cards so you only get a bonus from the universal ones. But you'll probably eventually use off class EXP cards too, since you might start stockpiling for a class that you aren't leveling and have nothing to do with them.

I also pulled again, but didn't get Jeanne. Got Altera. The gacha is... good civilization? Probably still a better idea to stockpile right now. Considering how much earlier in the year NA launched compared to JP, I wonder if NA will keep the same banner/event schedule. I half expect something to be announced at Anime Expo. Waiting 2 months for the first banner and 2 and a half months for the first event sounds pretty terrible.

So Altera is bad, but is she just bad for a 5* or is she bad generally? Seems like she does a ton of damage but her spells are quite average.

Also if I have Waver/Altera/Tamocat/Liz what free 4* should I be choosing to best complement my team?

Ultimately, the reason the two 5* Sabers are considered bad is because they get outclassed when future CE's and Servants are released. They aren't bad now. In fact, Gilgamesh is considered one of the best Archers in the game, but when he first releases, he won't be that much stronger than the two Sabers. It's just that future content benefits him more. There are no bad 5* for the current content. In fact Waver is probably the worst performing servant of the current 5*, but once he hits ascension level 3 he'll be a god amongst men.

As for which free 4* to pick, I'm going for Emiya not because he compliments my team, but because he's one of the most common bonus units for events. Martha benefits Tamamo by clearing her self-stun. Martha is also good with Jeanne if you ever snag her. Heracles is one of the best Berserkers in the game even compared to 5* Berserkers. Even though you already have a Berserker, running 2 Berserkers in a single team is surprisingly not that crazy. Marie Antoinette is the NA server's Meme Queen if you care about that. Carmilla is a solid Assassin in a game that lacks good Assassins for a long time. There are a lot of options.

"Effectiveness" means it boosts damage, NP generation and crit star drop rate.

Yeah since my best Saber is Saber Lily, I've been shoving every Saber XP card into my Jeanne. She's up to 40 so I might start doing the same for Herc/Robin/Cu/Ushiwakamaru because I want to get a large enough pool of fellows able to do the 40AP daily.

A lot of the common nicknames are pretty unhelpful to new players. Especially in this case, since the game is making at least a slight attempt to actively conceal his identity from casual players until he ascends.

I've still never bothered to figure out which of the dozen or so possible candidates "Sumanai" refers to.

He sucks gameplay wise and apologizes a lot in the game's story which came off as a hilarious kind of pathetic to players so it became a recurring joke.
