Vlad just did 88k on a NP + x2 Buster with ATK boost brave chain :3 Goddamn I never felt the rush of a zerker before but when you don't get RNG focused down, it's amazingly fun - even at this level. Can't wait to see at 90+

I managed to do 1 000 000+ damage on Robin's NP, on the japanese server. Once we get the ressources to full upgrade our guys, poo poo is gonna get crazy.

While I was never fully upgraded on JPN, I remember nero bride + waver being pretty drat crazy with +% arts and atk boosters.

I do like the feeling of new game again though :)

It's fine for the simple reason that just about anything is fine; there are enough strong units at lower rarities that you're free to use higher rarities to go for units that you like. Right now you've got two decent 4* servants and several good 4* CEs; you could easily roll half a dozen times without seeing a start that's objectively better than this one.

So basically if you like Liz and Carmilla keep them; if you don't find them interesting then reroll.
Useful advice! But since I can save it, I rerolled anyway. First try, Hercules and Emiya and Siegfreid I guess plus Imaginary Around for a mediocre five-star CE. Of course now I have to decide between those two starts... :downs:

Admittedly I tried three more rerolls after and they were all god-awful, yes.

Chain-running Daily 40s has my squad looking a lot buffer. Waver 52, Elisabeth 50, Mash 40, Caesar, Kiyohime, Boudica and Robin Ascended once and high 30s, Medea waiting on one more Caster piece for hers.

The interludes that I have access to at this point are not the interludes that give useful rewards, I'm sure.

What are some of the right Free Quests to grind this week's Masters?

Lord Koth
Jan 8, 2012

All the interludes currently out, along with the free missions, simply have the reward of a saint quartz. Certain specific ones are also vaguely decent for farming ascension materials, but you'd need to go look that list up yourself.

Incidentally, it isn't actually a bad idea to do as many free missions and interludes you can at the moment, instead of just constant exp. runs, because there's nothing else going on at the moment. That will change.

Yes, though you only get the clear bonus (prisms) once per day per quest.

I was thinking more about how this week's masters are servant-specific (beat 5 then 10 Servants, beat 3 each of Divine, Roman, Chaotic and Lawful Servants). I'm not sure if that's possible without having Story quests available.

Shadow Servants count. I completed the Rome part in today's 30 AP Knight Daily. It takes a bit of luck to get the right servants.

The lawful and chaos/divine can be done in Fuyuki X-E and X-F free quests.

Sometimes my game glitches out after it's been runnung for a while for me. For instance my last battle had Herc and Lu Bu apparently develop presence conceealment because they could still attack even if I couldn't see them.

Then it crashed.

Depends on what you want. If you want to have more Arts cards during your team's phase, d'Eon would work well, if you want two hard hitters that a Jeanne support can protect, then have Saber Alter.

don't d'Eon and Saber Alter both have QAABB? Do they have different appearance weights or anything?

I run Vlad/Vlad or Vlad/Herc a lot unless something is very tough and then I run Vlad/Jeanne. So far, nothing has killed me.... ok that one 40AP EXP one did once because I wasn't paying attention because I was healing a FF14 dungeon.

If you wait for the next chapter in the story to come out Drake chapter, all previous chapters should get a half AP event for the story.

Thing is that Caster Gilles is only ever on the story gacha, so by mostly rolling only on pick up and event gachas I have yet to see him.

Now loving Saber Gilles, I got his NP to level 5 a long time ago.

Yeah, Caster Gilles is weirdly scarce for a 3* even in JP version. I've only gotten him recently up to NP 2, while I have burned enough Saber Gilles to last a lifetime.

Is there any gimmick setup for running the 30/40AP dailies besides "level more idiot" or "find a god-tier support"? I tried a couple of times and got lucky once but they're tough with my current terrible team.

Not especially? Use type advantage, use command spells if needed since beating the EXP dailys a couple of times will make it easier. First ascension Cus are pretty good for the Wed/Sat EXP dailys, he can survive it quite a few levels below the recommended.

My standard frontline setup for 40 AP is Tamamo Cat and Mash with a support Jeanne. Mash and Jeanne keep Tamamo alive while she blows everything up. 40 AP could be dicey without a decent backline and the right craft essences (especially Imaginary Element or Kaleidoscope for starting NP gauge up on Tamamo), but a decent Berserker with Mash and Jeanne should at least be able to blitz through any day's 30 AP without too many problems. You get Kiyohime for free after Orleans, so she'll do if you don't have anything better.

Well, he's a 1*, so don't expect too much, but he still does what Berserkers do, which is to say he hits hard and dies easy. If you have a free party slot and just a few points of Cost to spare and you want a source of extra damage output, you could do worse.

You can do some stupid poo poo with his NP but that's waaaaaaaaaaay later into the game. I saw a video of him and two wavers making a late game boss do 0 damage to them.
