vlad isn't as much of a beastick as herc even at the top end, vlad's gimmick is that he's arts-based and not buster based so he combos well with other arts servants. one of the big early teams was vlad/tamamo/nero, for instance.

Oh, also, since grailing has been mentioned, keep in mind that there's events that give grails if you beat their story: Halloween 2015 Event Da Vinci Event Fate/Accel Zero Order Event Onigashima Event FGO 2016 Summer Event Halloween 2016 Event GUDAGUDA Meiji Ishin SE.RA.PH

Is this still the best source for droprates or is there a better one now? I can see why people didn't like this game at release because errrrr there really isn't that much to do right now, and the AP regen rate means you have to do it very slowly, and the droprates mean you can't even do it very consistently.

Pierson posted:Is this still the best source for droprates or is there a better one now? The drop rates being miserly is only part of the problem too. When you factor in that you don't even have access to the proper dailies at all times, and that if you're say looking for that last Berserker monument you only have a 25% chance of the right servant even showing up... well, that's when spending an entire day's worth of AP and getting nothing out of it becomes hard to swallow. I seriously don't understand why they didn't just include the improved dailies from the get go. At least that would remove the unnecessary extra layer of RNG and daily rotations when farming. On a mostly unrelated tangent, I'm not really a fan of the strengthening quests as a way to buff underperforming servants. Not only because that means NA players get to wait anywhere between months to years for some of those, but also because it inevitably delays balance fixes as each quest requires new writing and a new combat scenario. Why not just buff the servants directly?

I got Jeanne in the opening rerolling rounds and she's been pretty great for me all told, but I don't know if I would spend quartz at this juncture for her if I didn't have her. E: More importantly this means they are definitely going offscript in terms of schedule. FSN Campaign (was supposed to be before Nerofest), Moon Goddess, and Kintoki all came before this originally.

I need some time to level up my folks from Nerofest ascensions and catch up on mana prism grinding so a little reprieve is kind of appreciated. I'd gladly take another 1/2 AP week though.

I dunno what servants to even work on at this point, I think my best stuff is Altera (who I guess kind of sucks but she's my only 5* and I like her), Lancer CuChu (I have no Claws of Chaos and have no idea if there are any guaranteed drops anywhere in story mode), and uhhh ... d'Eon I guess. Guess I should be working on Arash, Asteros, and Kiyohime in the mean time. Just stockpiling tickets, quarts and level up fodder in the mean time.

Gwyrgyn Blood posted:I was wondering if I was missing something about why Mondays just don't have any green event dailies, but I guess not! Altera is great, very solid Saber. I'd argue that she's the second-best of the non-limited 5* Servants available right now. Try to get her to her third Ascension because her last skill (Crest of the Star EX) is her best. She fits on basically any team as a strong primary damage-dealer and you won't regret investing in her. The only Sabers you can say for sure are better than her are Okita (limited rateup, very powerful in her niche) and Musashi (Limited rateup, even more of a beatstick than Altera, easily the best Saber in the game).

Even if they slow the first six months up from Japan it's still not going to be that slow. Japan had only four days without a rate-up between Gilgamesh and Christmas, so even if they want to make up the full two months difference immediately that's only about a week's downtime between each.

Okay, I was getting mixed messages about her based on the OP (which just says she sucks) and some tier lists I eyeballed. Mine is on first ascension so far, just two fragments away from the second. At this point just having the raw stats helps pretty considerably anyway. Any other key servants I should look for to use with her?

Endorph posted:I'd say Saber Lancelot is better too. Dude's crits are insane. Saberlot outperforms most 5* sabers even without a ton of stargen. Saber Lancelot is goddamn silly. He's also a good 9+ months out for NA, though. Nate RFB posted:I would imagine that at some point they need to get the dates to line up so that they can just proceed at the same rate that JP did. We are going to have a cumulative month of downtime if they do that, and as much as constant events from other games can get annoying, being that slow would harm the game. (Plus I was hoping they'd be a bit more aggressive about trying to catch up to JP, but...) Also, yes, the Jeanne gacha is very much bait, there aren't even good 4*s getting a rate up. Save your pfennigs for Gudaguda or Scath. (Or, if you're really hardcore, save at least some, month by month, for Jalter next year.)

Bholder posted:Wasn't one of the issues with the Chinese client was that holiday events did not actually line up with the actual events? I'm not sure that's particularly an issue; do the target market really care? Even the Japanese version had its Christmas events in November last year. edit: There are some they'd probably want to keep close, of course. New Years in the west probably has to be on New Years, even though it didn't need to be in China. Obviously anniversaries have to be on the anniversaries. And they'll probably still want to end the first arc by the end of 2018 because that's when the world is due to be destroyed. edit2: Honestly even New Years could shift a little earlier if needed. It's when it is in Japan because of otoshidama, but for the west you could probably get away with just doing it after Christmas. NRVNQSR fucked around with this message at 20:11 on Aug 7, 2017 |

Granted, those were somewhat unusual circumstances and even Nasu noted it on his blog. They wanted to get the end of the first arc out before the new year and to not overburden people with the massive Babylon chapter and the JDASL event at the same time, so JDASL got bumped forward. And then they wanted Salomon Temple to land on the last week of the year, and got even better than bargained for with the world getting saved literally on Christmas Day. Unless there are story shenanigans this year, I would expect Christmas 2017 to land much closer to the actual date.

You'll occasionally need access to later story free quests to do the weekly Master Missions. Also the story quests will be trivially easy if you level up too much first. Other than that no, not particularly.

Gwyrgyn Blood posted:Okay, I was getting mixed messages about her based on the OP (which just says she sucks) and some tier lists I eyeballed. She plays well with just about everyone, which is ironic given her Forever Alone character type. The big knock on her is that her NP is AOE instead of single-target, which greatly reduces her damage output against the top-tier bosses--and since doing damage is really all she's got, it is a serious flaw. But it still reduces enemy Defense for three turns, so she's never useless.

To be fair, it makes sense for Saber Lancelot to kick rear end, as he was the best knight of his era, to the point where one of his Skills is explicitly about how he was so great that even crazy he still retains his legendary abilities.

Speaking of pretty androgynous Servants, the One Weird TrickTM for D'Eon's interlude went about as well as should be expected. He survived 10 400% Zabaniyas, but the 11th finally procced. Of course by then I'd whittled down 75% of his health bar manually so it was a bit of a Pyrrhic victory.
