Man have I been doing this event wrong? I've been doing only the 30ap quest to get gold medals after gettin the first clear bonuses. I'm still 250 short from getting the last 2 lores and it doesn't seem possible to get another 400 on top of that to get the 2 nightless roses unless I burn some apples.
I feel like the Nightless Roses are a complete lost cause, assume that you will not be able to get the two gold medal ones. The silver medal one should be easy, though. I happened to get a single drop from a 20AP today so that's kind of cool I guess but since it's such a meh CE I'm not too torn up about it.

It seems likely that the 40AP that's added tomorrow will give more than twice as many gold medals as the 30AP.

Oh that's good to hear. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to get the serpent jewel drop to ascend Gil so I can spend the rest of the event getting gold medals.

I wasn't even planning on max limit breaking nightless rose but I got 2 drops randomly so eh why not. Though farming more serpent jewels might be a better use of ap.

The final round has five battles, with the last one having 7 servants to drop medals, and they only drop gold medals and the craft essence. The final round also lasts for 4 days, so focus more on the 20 ap quest right now, which gives all three levels of medals, to at least get those rewards before you spend the rest of the time in the last quest.

Yes we know.

But I already got all the mats I cared about so why not. It's probably a coin flip whether I spend the rest of my ap during the event getting gold medals or stock up on serpent jewels for some hypothetical future servant to ascend. Or I can just ascend medusa.

the guts upgrades from 500 hp to 1000, and the card's stats are +2000 hp if you decided to max it out for whatever reason.

do you think that's really worth the investment? that's an awful lot of feeding it to get the max hp, and the extra 500 hp on the guts likely isn't going to save them from dying the next turn if they get hit again.

i had 3 CEs drop and i turned the 2 extras into MP. i can find better uses for 12 team cost on my teams.

it's not, arash wants starting np or np damage. even if he gets a guts it's going to take him forever to build up his np, and then forever again to build it up again.

I thought Nero was pretty bad and I suspect it was partly the translation, because I played Extella a few days ago and she's more tolerable there. Probably helps that she isn't repeating the exact same lines over and over and over again followed by weird mmhmmm then ZOMBIE SOLDIERS every two minutes.

she shows up a few more times and I think the writing becomes a lot less INTERRUPTING MOOKS by then

Not really, they justify the mooks a lot better and make it so you're actively taking actions against an enemy force instead of bad guys just showing up in the middle of your conversations. I mean there's still a lot of random mook fights but it's handled way more naturally.

Surprised and pleased to see Waver / Lance / Herc being able to take on the Level 50 quest for the event... at level ~40, with usually no losses.

Mash apparently gets a more developed later on.
And it seems she even manage to rank second place in the poll for female players for their favorite, where the overwhelming vast majority of the characters that made the list were males.

Paid Gacha on JP is almost the worst money I've ever spent on this game as it got me Tesla; but then I also got another copy of Frankenstein, and it was saved.

I don't know if Tesla is good or not but even if he is I doubt he's better than Rin or Kuro.

It's a haughty affirmative used by superiors. You can translate it to "Indeed" or "Is that so" (acknowledging, not questioning) or even "Verily" if you're feeling saucy.

She pretty much uses it as a comma.
