Whatever daily (make sure you do the red "Ember" ones, not the others) you're able to handle is the one you should do, whether it's a 30AP or 10AP. A super high level support (there are plenty of 50s and even 60 floating around) can probably carry you by themselves through the 20 AP right now. You'll level up so quickly from the XP cards that eventually you'll be able to take on more and more.

Yep, George dying in round 1 is normal. With a buddy Herc a 3 Buster card chain can easily take down hands fast. Keep Jeanne as your backup.

Embers (hand enemies) are only for exp cards. Treasure Vault (door enemies) are only for QP. The middle quests, duels or monsters, are for monuments and gems respectively. We won't be back to duel quests (monuments) until Monday so you've probably missed this week's master quest for them.

There's this; I'm pretty sure its Saturday and Sunday entries are just guesses for now, though.

edit: Specifically I'm hoping that Sunday will give us the Bond Battle and Master Training quests listed here under Old Quests, but there's no guarantee of that.

Yeah, it's possible saturday and sunday would have something. Don't think they did when Japan was on these quests, but Japan also didn't have the master missions at that time and saturday/sunday lacking the gem/monument quests would be kind of mean for that so possible they'd add a random version of both there for us.

Also possible that they wouldn't, though in that case at least you'd know for next week's missions.

They should be per month, but it's uncertain for now.

You should keep doing quest to either get more cube or Quartz. There will be a very important CE that will cost 5000 cube later.

im permabanned master waifucollector58. i first started playing fgo when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of "pulls" and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "loving aniplex" and "i love making GBS threads inside nasu's rear end in a top hat" in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically quartz-induced schizophrenia. im now on a diet of paypal. i always wondered what the kind of "ironic" style of servant raising was all about; i think it's the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who "get" fgo to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to spending too much money. peace

I don't know, but number of friend requests doesn't prove anything either way; after all, the more players there are the more different people there are to send friend requests to.

It's definitely supposed to be "Leyshifting", right?

BlitzBlast
Jul 30, 2011

In all honestly it is probably supposed to be 霊 (rei, spirit) shifting, because a) 霊 shows up a poo poo ton across Fate meta mechanics and b) the details explained of the process make it pretty clear you're not being physically transported as "ley" would imply. Nasu wrote the thing in katakana though, so that kinda complicates things from a translation perspective because that means he wanted it to sound foreign. So technically speaking rayshifting isn't wrong, even though that name tells you jack poo poo about what the thing is actually doing. What, are you being turned into rays of light?

Fate is really, really bad about its proper nouns. You learn to roll with it.

I was struggling with even AP 30 until I ditched Waver and replaced him with Martha. She has been really good for me and after her first ascension she combos so well with support Jeanne. I'm sure Waver will be absurdly good for me later, but for now his damage is terrible, he has no survivability and giving Hercules 30% NP gauge was usually the only thing he was good for, since he tended to die before even getting his own NP off.

Speaking of ascension, I'm not sure I understand how many ascensions exist. Because there's 4 different card arts for the servants, but apparently there's 4 total ascensions? Does the second ascension not change the card/sprite art?

The second ascension doesn't change art.

Edit: And yes, class type matching is super important since it effectively doubles your HP and Atk when advantaged, or halves when poor.

The 2nd ascension does charge art, Cirnopedia even has all of them:

The art changes on 1st 3rd and 4th ascension, and then there's the starting art.

Sprite art only changes at the 1st and 3rd Ascension. Card art usually also changes at those two, and always changes at the 4th Ascension.

2nd Ascension is kind of dull. I don't think it ever gives anyone anything other than Max Level?

edit: Oh, a bunch of characters have interludes gated on it, of course. And one voice line.

I'm running Waver at the moment in AP40s and he does get destroyed by the riders but his NP buffing is really helping me spam Jeanne/Altera NPs to mow down the waves and survive during the downtimes. Altera is 60 and Waver is 53 at the moment though, and I've hit an AP wall with cycling the EXP farm for master levels. Please do not give up on gangster sephiroth
