Referencing Taiwan had the events back to back, odds are US will follow the same path. I know JP has their own schedule.

Master lv cap is either 100 or 120 depends on which version of the game we are having.

I think it's 100, because level caps end up coming due to story updates and as a result of a lot of players ending up at the cap earlier than they expected. It'll be staggered out better for US I think, but I'm p sure it's just 100 rn.

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.

yeah sumanai is an informal way of saying 'sorry,' compared to gomen nasai. it's a kind of masculine way of apologizing. so his nickname is literally just 'yeah, sorry, man.'

Depends on what you're fighting.

The Vlad and Carmilla fights early on are a large difficulty spike.

I've definitely lost a few dudes every now and then, usually to a series of crits. It's a big reason why even though I'm doing a lot better on the 30AP dailies I'm still very worried about being able to clear the 40AP one.

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.
There's a currently running LN series involving adult Waver being a magical detective, they aren't even trying to hide anything.

Not their fault most casuals only know of the FZ anime. :v: :v:

Adult Waver is amazing. When he meets Rin the first thing he does is ask her about what Japanese video games she likes. When he finds out she's a technophobe he yells at her and calls her the 'Worst Japanese Ever.'

Jeanne/Ushiwakamaru/Support, usually swapping Ushi out with Cu Lancer or Robin Hood or Hercules. I've been leaning heavily on Ushi today at least because the Rider Silver XP cards have pushed her up to be ready for her second ascension, but currently both Cu and Robin are only in the 20s.

I'll probably start throwing my excess cards into Robin/Cu once I get Herc up to 40. My tentative plan is tackle it when all are at 40.

Honestly I've not been that impressed with Cursed Arm Hassan so far? Maybe I just haven't figured out how to build a Quick-based team yet but critting with every attack doesn't feel particularly exciting when his critical hits still have rubbish damage and NP gain.

Andersen, on the other hand, is incredible.

Kojiro is definitely better for earlygame because he starts with the all-important Evade skill that Hassan doesn't have access to yet. But in the long run his skills will make him more valuable as part of a Crit team.

It just seems like Berserkers go down way too quickly. Even just now, my Lv40 Herc died in the first round on the 30AP due to everyone ganging up on him.

Emiya and Jeanne makes a good start for me then. Got her first ascension done, figured out the Ruler meta, really like it. Had one loss and that was late in the first real map, burned the runes.

Just looking forward to all the awesome characters Japan can't quit arting about, it's almost at a Kemono Friends level of popularity and memes but will overtake it in due time.

Wondering if I could get some help with setting up my team. I kind of notice that I tend to have my guys go down pretty hard during the 30 AP dailies.

My setup currently is the following:

Slot One: Kiyohime at 32 with Limited/Zero Over
Slot Two: Mash at 30 with Beginning of the Journey
Slot Three: Waver at 26 with Imaginary Element (Still trying to gather leveling mats for him)
Slot Four: Cu Lancer at 24
Slot 5: Support

Notable 4 Stars I have at the moment are Carmilla and Elisabeth

Waver is trash early game. Moreso when going against Riders like the current EXP daily. Cu might as well go to the front.

Running berserkers is a very all in method but not as hard as it looks, The US server is the only one where I don't have Herc(Release the drat 4* selector Aniplex). My grinding is actually slower without him.

Get your Herc up to 40 and then Ascend him to get his dodge skill.
The ideal line up for a berserker farm team is .

Herc/St george/Friend Herc(Ascended once), Reserve is Mash.
Since you have Jeanne and other 3*s your odds are already much higher. If you happen to have the 3* CE that lets you dodge one hit throw it on Herc.

Pretty much pop St George's skill to let him soak up damage and die, When Mash jumps in use her invincibility skill to keep the stronger Herc alive. its straight forward at this point if you can go into Wave 3 with 2 Hercs you're golden.

Yah bad things can happen, but If you round one evade buff Herc he should just about always make it into wave two.

30 AP Daily until you can handle the 40AP Daily regularly. Then the 40AP Daily.

Once you have access to a Herc with his first Ascension done (whether your own or a Support), you have access to three separate sources of making him immune to damage for a round (Mash, Master spells, Herc's own). USE THEM.

If you don't get a good card set in the opening round of a battle, just use one - battles are by far the most dangerous in that first round if you can't take one of the hands out immediately.

Jeanne is a hard carry support, especially if your friend equips her with starting NP gauge. The hardest part is making sure you've got enough damage output, which mercifully I did with Artoria/Heracles. I ascended both as far I could today just off a non stop string of 40ap clears, poo poo rules.
