Ugh, decisions decisions.

Liz or that assassin Sthl....something.

Liz seems cool and stabby, but I do now have Cu and I don't have an assassin at all.

Or maybe just Emyia because UBW is p cool.


This game is terrible. :mad:

Honestly neither Liz nor Stheno are great picks. If you want an Assassin from the free 4*s, get Carmilla. As a bonus you're also... kinda sorta picking Liz too.

Speaking of unnecessary spending, I added my name to the goon list of friends. I've only got 1 Waver buddy right now and for some reason he keeps sporadically dropping from my friends list, so if you have one odds are I'll add you.

Why does that happen, btw? Some of my friends will just vanish from my support list even though I was using them just one battle prior.

It'll randomly select some each time from players who have been online recently. You can reroll which ones it gives you by hitting "Update List" at the top of the screen.

Liz isn't the best servant in-game, but I loved her in Extella so I use her on my main team here. Her debuff NP helps as well depending on your setup.

She was in my first charity 10-pull. #Blessed

I totally spaced that she is an assassin when I posted.

The main thing is I'm sort of waffling about in the no man's land between "gently caress it, I'll just use whoever I think is cool, cute, or funny" and playing as optimally as I can within the confines of the RNG.

I wasn't expecting the AP discount and couldn't spend enough of it before work, so now I'm stressing about all the wasted AP.

Spent what I had accumulated. Still don't have a 5* servant, but pulled a few 5* CEs, St. Martha, and NP duplicates of Lancelot, Cu Chullain, Medea, and the 3* Rider I've been using who jumps on boats. So my team got a little stronger in a lot of ways. I only ascended Tamamo Cat once, I'll probably switch her out for unsexy zombie Lancelot.

Use who you like then just pick an optimum Support from your friends list when you go into a fight. I mean, if you don't like the characters you're using then what's the loving point?

I've got Tamamo and she does decent damage, but holy poo poo she is squishy as all hell. The enemy seems hellbent in focusing her down as quickly as possible so I think I've gotten to use her NP like...twice?

So I noticed they changed some of the translations in the latest patch: Mash's skills now follow the more common fantranslations of 'Transient Wall of Snowflakes' and 'Obscurant Wall of Chalk'. Lancelot's 1st skill is also back to 'Eternal Arms Mastery'.

Oh, that's Tamamocat.

Tamamo Caster is probably what they are talking about since Vlad is a great pairing with her and she's also what I'm waiting to spend some money on.

Tamamo Caster isn't available yet so I assumed they were talking about Berserker. My bad. I have no idea how team optimization works to be honest so the Vlad thing went over my head.

My 2 ten pulls I had stocked up got me Lancelot, Formal Craft, a third Robin Hood, a second kalidescope and a bunch of trash. I had 6 quartz left over, so I decided to throw three into the void...



So, what CE is best on him? I've got imaginary around, kalidescope and code limited over.

Stock up until success rate up event (now), then pick one star card and feed to another same card. Then select a same but lv 1 card and feed the last card into it. Then repeat this step to feed the accumulated card into a new card, but make sure you raise the level cap to be able to take in all the exp without maxing it.

I'm sick and stuck home so I'm rerolling on my tablet. I doubt I'll be able to get an account that surpasses the one I'm running, but I'll try for a bit.

Interestingly enough, it seems like the Android version uses way better assets. The iOS app has some awful compression artifacts on every single sprite.

Huh, so basically feed high level cards into lower leveled ones? Something like if you give a level 1 a level 10, it'll wind up level 15? Something like that?

If you feed a lv 1 card to a lv 1 card, it will gain 1000 exp.

If you feed a lv 10 card to a lv 1 card, it will gain 1090 exp.

The extra exp came from the lv of the card -1 and multiply by 10.

Wait why is this efficient when you could feed two level 1 cards to another to gain 2k? I thought this would be more like PAD pengdras where the xp feed grows more than the xp fed to the fodder. Is it just a qp efficiency thing?

So this sort of situation? (all hypothetical)

Smashing a level 1 together with a level 1 of the same type results in a new card at level 10.

Smashing that level 10 together with a level 1 gives you another level 10...plus 90 XP.

And that will in the long run give you more XP than if you did it the other way, the level 1 into the level 10?

It adds up over time, it's 900 xp after ten time and save you one card worth of exp. It is optional to do it.

Doing it one card at a time however, is important because you will have more chance to trigger great/super success.
