Right now my leveling items have gone to Lancelot and Tamocat. She is a great damage dealer at lvl 27 but Lancelot is pretty squishy and didn't do as much damage at 23 - is Herc still a better option than Emiya even though I have those two berserkers already?

Also, how the heck do you level in this game? I have been playing a bit every day and am in Rome now. At the beginning I had a or of levelling stuff and have been using what I get from the friend gatcha but I have slowed down incredibly with leveling and have no idea where I am supposed to be levelling up. I have friends with absurdly high leveled character and I'm not sure how they are doing it.

Go to the Terminal and go to Chaldea Gate. Tap the 30 or 40 AP (now 15 and 20) Gathering Embers quests (the red ones at the top of the list). Choose a high leveled Jeanne support. Get carried to maximum leveling valhalla.

Daily Quests in the Chaldea Gate. The Ember Gathering ones give one exp card per enemy you kill (9 total) and the highest version gives mostly gold cards once you can do it consistently. It cycles through different class sets each day.

I have no sabers outside Caesar and Lily but I have a bunch of ascension mats for them. Is there one that is better than the other by far?

Edit: Should have looked at the OP...

Lily is apparently that far bad that Caesar is much better if an only Saber.

drat you guys were right about Herecles, and the Xp tips were great - just a few runs and he is mid 30's and wrecking poo poo. Thanks for the suggestions.

Do any of you high level Jean havers have room in your friends list and if so, can I add you? I have a couple friends with 70 Jeans but could use more for this sp grind. My master level was fairly low so this is leveling me up quickly and I have a boat load of ap to spend.

Sending you an invite I saw Cu Chu as your primary servant - that may be why. Not that cu chu is bad, it's that a lot of people with Herc as their main servant set him to default.

Might be a factor in your FP generation.

Edit: VVV For sure, the wikia is pretty good but CPedia has some features making it better in many respects.

Keep in mind that Herc isn't actually that great at this progress point in the game due to having the worst stat curve possible with reverse S.

people really overvalue stat curves, by level 50ish everyone is basically evened out. not to mention reverse s is what makes herc good, since he gains a lot of stats in his first 20ish levels.

Seems like it. My Waver is all stocked up to go to 70 now (minus farming up 12 Caster pieces).

First to get a 2nd ascension for me will be either Jing Ke or Fat Caesar, who need only a red bone and one more saber piece, respectfully.

A lot of people haven't figured out that they can cherry-pick their desired type of support unit by touching an icon, so that if you really want a Herc just touch Berzerker and he'll pop up most of the time. I'm keeping my Support lineup pretty well-rounded for people who get that.

This is pretty laughable, Herc is unbelievably good and will steamroll all story content currently available and then some. Even before you ascend him and he gets his bullshit dodge skill.


The fact that they haven't made another Carnival Phantasm yet is some kind of war crime.

Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
Hercules is easily really good because his dodge skill is after his first ascension, which should more than be easily attainable right now. He does as much damage as almost all the 70's by level 40-50, and his NP basically one-shots or nearly one-shots most bosses.

FSN is alright. UBW is superior in every way. Carnival Phantasm is great. Prisma Illya is pretty solid for the first season, sketchy as hell for the second, and a bit rushed for the third.

He's not great, but it's more than made up for by his cool NP activation and his pretty good voicing. He's very much waifu tier.
