I think you mean that one is a lady and the other is a little girl.

Also, I'm doing some interludes and St. George being obsessed with cameras for being "a relic that instantly paints pictures" amuses me more than it should.

Demonic Bodhissatva. It's a 200-400% damage increase, depending on if you've done his interlude.

Give up now.

Orleans and Septum are full of useless fights, from a gameplay and story perspective. Three waves of 1500 HP skeletons/soldiers who do 300 damage a hit? I know they wrote those chapters before the guaranteed 4* tutorial Servant, but even a team of 3* won't have any trouble with those.

And they're not even a speedbump to Heracles :black101:

I was wondering actually, how late was Tamamo's gacha added? Mostly saving up for her and JAlter atm.

Edit: wait, that was listed a few pages ago. Sorry about redundancy.

Tamamo was initially obtainable (and rated-up) during the first Halloween event, but was removed from the gacha again afterwards. She was permanently added to the normal gacha when the London story chapter was added two months later. So the answer is "it depends." If they keep to the schedule of when Servants are permanently added, you'll have until the release of London, which was roughly 5 months after launch, to save up - or until Halloween if you want to acquire her early.

I'm not sure just how much they'll be accurately following that schedule though, especially given F/GO launched here a month earlier than the initial release. JAlter on the other hand you'll be able to save up for a very long time (bar an extremely early release for her).

I keep forgetting to review this mostly because they don't have an index so I can check the rest out.

Anyways, wrt Lily: Her NP heals everyone, not just herself, and for a surprisingly useful amount. Her NP charge skill affects everyone, so she can help others charge faster. Once she finally gets her NP5 from Saber Wars she does respectable damage thanks to a higher-than-average multiplier and the fact she's NP5. (This last one applies to all freebies)

wrt Atalanta: Her NP can easily generate 30-50 (or even more) stars. She's great for setting up Buster critmemes, although admittedly it's not quite relevant with the release day set of servants.

Dr Pepper posted:

Man why do Rulers cost literally three times the amount of materials to ascend.

Like, OK, a mix of different class tokens, that's fine. But it's the same number of each token. I can ascend three Servants.

They're costlier in early game when every resource matters, but then much cheaper in midgame when you have a million pieces to spare but need a billion non-piece mats and then levels out in late game when you have a good stock of both so it doesn't really matter.

Tired Moritz posted:

yeah, why not "enemies does less damages to your servants."? It reads like they accidentally copied the attack down tip.
That's actually correct because Defense Up is mechanically identical to Attack Down. :v:

(Also, there's other "less damage" skills, just as Waver's, which don't use Def Up but rather use Damage Cut, which is a flat subtraction at the very end of the calculation.)

They'll let anyone be a Heroic Spirit these days.

But for real, how do you become a Heroic Spirit without a legend/myth? I thought you had to do more than simply perform great deeds, you had to somehow exceed human limits.

So George Washington could skate by because he cut down a cherry tree once.
You just need to be cool enough to merit enough people saying "man that guy was cool".
Also, Nasu history means he really could have been a vampire hunter.

Black Grail deffo.

The jump from 1000%/1200% to 1100%/1400% multiplier is just a 10%/16% increase, respectively. Meanwhile Black Grail is straight up 60%/80% more NP power. You gotta compare buffed damage to unbuffed, not just use the raw numbers, 'cause diminishing returns.
One more overcharge level looks enticing but then you look closer and realize that it's not actually particularly good, 'cause it only works once and almost any other CE provides better buffs to damage overcharges.

I'm not sure what it says of the industry and/or the userbase that they really honestly though people wouldn't have the attention span to care about the story without constant fights.
