Question about card chains as per this info. 1) All of the % bonuses are additive with each other right? 2) What's the damage bonus for a Buster Chain (since that doesn't seem to be listed)?

All of the bonuses there are additive with each other other, but they're multiplied by other bonuses like attack up or card effectiveness up. Buster chain bonus damage is a flat 20% of the servants base attack score, no modifiers whatsoever.

You can see the full calculation here.

That's some good info, I didn't realize it was a flat damage add. I guess practically speaking it sounds like the usefulness of it gets relatively much lower the more buffs you are stacking.

I've been kind of wanting to ask about some of the more complicated events like Halloween and GUDAGUDA but figured it'd be better to wait until they got announced. Since they seem so much more complex and rely on a multitude of factors and numerous CEs, my first impression was that they'd be events where you kind of just have to pick your battles and what handful of shop items you actually feel you need to get.
the fact that they have multiple CEs and multiple drop items mean that the drop rates are much, much higher.

Maybe try an emulator or different device and see if that works?

How to make Sumanai good:

1) Turn Disengage into Armor of Fafnir, which gives a Heal, DMG Cut, DEF Up and Taunt [3 Turns].

Boom.

I'd put the taint on Golden Rule which also gets upgraded to Das Rheingold and improved NP gen.
Aside from that, agreed.

Does it actually say Can't Connect or does it get stuck on the little Fou animation? I'm sure you've tried power cycling your router and all that junk, but have you tried using your phone's internet just to connect, then switching back to Wi-Fi after getting in?

his np is spammable and gives good buffs that stack, he synergizes perfectly with crit-based characters due to his stargen skill and his crit damage up skill.

I've done all that and yes, it gives the can't connect prompt. I also can't use it on another device since customer service refuses to give me another transfer code to switch devices ( I can't get into the game *at all* to get another code )

It gave me the prompt after Episode 3 completion and hasn't worked since so I'm hoping it's the event but customer service already fixed my transfer code once and won't do it again

Like I've spent a couple hundred since I always dolphin on mobiles I enjoy but they can't be assed to give me a 2nd transfer code so w/e

That sucks. You really should keep explaining to them what's happening, and mention how you can't try it on a new device without another code. Maybe you could tweet at the NA people and see if that gives enough visibility for someone higher in the CS chain to actually help?

i posted on reddit and was told "have you tried googling NA customer support" when I asked what I should do. Mainly just waiting for the event to end since I think it was an error with one of the quest results that caused it but I'm pretty pissed with everything involved really. Luckily I didn't need many of those pieces at the current moment anyways!!!

There is no small amount of suspicion that Part 2 proper, starting next year, will introduce fifth ascensions and above in some fashion.

Also, it amuses me that, when we finally see Nero with her trademark bun down, she basically turns into Blonde Estelle Bright. Amuses me for, y'know, Some Reason™.

... For real tho, I'm not the only one who sees it, right


Well, Arco Wada, the character designer for Fate/Extra, or the de facto artist for Nero, already drew Estelle Bright before.

I managed to get lucky during the drops with two Moonlight Fests. I managed to clear out all of the statues/monuments, half the Fous, and two more CEs. I'll definitely be able to clear out the whole store next year. I'm beginning to sense a theme with this game. I would get lovely luck in the gacha but somehow the drops will give me a few of the rare things. v:shobon:v

I got everything in the shop except the 5k CE. If I had bothered sticking with the 5 AP throughout the whole thing, I'm pretty sure I could have gotten the last shop CE too, but without any CE drops to max limit break it, I saw no point in going that far.

Definitely hoping for an Okeanos announcement, because then I can farm Serpent Jewels to get Orion her third ascension. (Also because I seriously just want some more story.)

That's when Drake becomes available too, right? I remember liking her in Extra, so I wouldn't mind rolling for her if she's any good.

I know MonsieurChoc whaled for Drake a bit but she looks like another AOE NP 5* which is hard to get excited about. Cool design though.

That said I was kind of planning on rolling during Okeanos with the hope of getting Euryale and David as close to NP5 as possible, as they seem to be good servants to hang onto prior to Camelot.

Drake is a crazy good crit machine and is just all around great. Honestly almost all of the 5 star riders are amazing.

I'm afraid its because of Super-Science.

Regular-Ass Science is innocent.
I'm at 2000 dangos and change, even after getting all the monuments. I'm divided on whether to spend all the remaining time on 5AP, to maybe get the 2K CE as well as all the Fous, or the 10AP to balance the dango gain with the prospect of Fangs, or the 30AP to maybe get another 4 shots at a heart.

I already have the hearts I need for Medea and Herc, I know I'll need more later, but they're not as huge a priority. Fangs could be useful for ascending Lily, I don't much like her performance but my only other decent saber is Sumanai, so I'm not in a rush to invest in him, either.

My minimum purchase is all the Fou Cards, permanent stat boosts for favored waifus and husbandos are how I intend to play this game to the hilt.
