If you must blink, do it now.
Prepped a team for one event only to accidentally click on a different, more difficult event almost none of them were suited to class-wise.

Ended up winning but that was probably the most tense battle I've had yet. Literally came down to one servant on each side blasting away at each other.

What a childish tactic!
Don't you think you should put more thought into your battleplan?!


I saw someone say something about a rate up for Saber Alter, is that a current or upcoming thing? Still have all the quartz since starting earlier this week, was thinking of making a pull and Alter is cool.

In japan they celebrated 4M downloads with a rate-up that had Salter and Martha as the rate-up 4*s; seems likely they'll do the same here whenever they hit the next milestone after this event or the next. Which needn't be 4M downloads, of course, they can just pick any arbitrary metric.

So upcoming, probably.

edit: There's also the limited release of Orion coming up soon. He's a cute little teddy bear, so perhaps some people will want to roll for him.

Is Orion a good Archer? Since Gil refused to show up for me, I could still use a good one.

Maybe a little one? You'd hardly notice.

Seems to be pretty well-regarded, from what I've read. Strong single-target NP with good debuffs, decent damage boosting and crit boosting skills. Though Euryale has a pretty similar feature set and is 3* so she's much easier to get.

I just love that the final ascension art has the Orion teddy bear striking a fanservice pose to match Artemis.

The Orion & Artemis Tag Team Two-For One were originally seen as sorta bad when they launched in Japan, but nowadays they're considered pretty solid, especially if you happen to be going up against a male enemy

orion is good in camelot the same way euryale is. less lockdown than she has, but more damage. id say they aren't as good as gil but if you want a 5* archer they arent bad at all

No; the lowest AP mission doesn't spawn caster enemies. The highest AP mission has the best rates; one every two runs or so, hopefully.

According to that spreadsheet, fighting the Shadow Gilles in Orleans is just as good.

He's looking for monuments (gold) not pieces (silver).

Duel with the Four Cavalries is sadly the only way currently. It took me about 30+ tries to get ONE. Final battle has 25% chance to be Caster (Waver) and then there's probably about a 10% chance that the chest he drops is gold. Be prepared to grind.

This is true for the JP version of the game. NA has different quests than JP right now.

It took 3 apples, but I farmed 10 Claws of Chaos. Enough for Altera, Vlad, and Cu Chulainn if I ever pull him from the free gacha. If not I can use his claws on Martha.

It's amazing how Nero, Artoria and Salter make the 30 AP event trivial.

So what is the surest way to get assassin gems? Its all I need to finish the weekly quest and I didnt see a single assassin boss, despite running the current 30 AP monster hunting quest, like 8 times in a row. All those wasted APs that could go into gold medal farming are killing me.

Oddly there are no assassin or berserker bosses for the monster hunting quest. You can get it as drops from earlier enemies in that quest, but as above Etna or Bordeaux are better sources.

For the JPN 2nd Anniversary, you complete a quest so you get to pick 1 CE out of 47 (mechanically identical) variants. That is a lot of artwork.
