Technically Tamamo no Mae isn't even a fox but that's mostly splitting hairs at this point.

What's everybody's issue with Saber Lily?

I find her quite serviceable considering how poor my luck with Golds are and she's currently my best character until I can ascend EMIYA, Medusa and Jing Ke to third Ascension (Which they have the items for, just not the levels.)

Plus she's adorable and my only Saberface. :3:

If it weren't for free 4* servant selection at the beginning of the game netting me Chevalier it'd probably be the same honestly.

The rest all just evade me.

IIRC, it's just that for being a 4* servant, her stats are pretty low.
Sure, she does in a pinch, and hell, she was my go-to Saber until I pulled Nero and Altera, but, you can certainly do better

Saber Lilly is usable. Basically any Servant in the game is. But Lilly has problems other Servants do not.

Their original plans were for Free Servants to not be comparable to Servants you roll. Thus, while Lilly has the cost of a 4 star, her stats are more comparable to a 3 star.

Her max attack is 7,726, by comparison Caesar's is 7,497.

She can be worked into a team. Her Journey of Flowers ability is, at max, a 20% NP gen buff, which is pretty good if you have an offensive Arts Servant.

Once the Saber Wars event happens and people can Max out her NP it does do decent damage, especially with her Mana Burst. Her NP will make decent filler then and heal her up to 5000 HP depending on overcharge.

After Lilly the developers decided that they were going to make Free Servants comparable to other 4 Stars, so she's kind of an anomaly.

Also her 4* Status also screws her in another way - 3* Servants have theoretically 30 levels of Grailed stats to work with - Lily will only have 20 despite working on the same stat baseline as 3* Servants.

Don't you think you should put more thought into your battleplan?!


As my defacto Saber of choice my frustration Faber is he needs Forbidden Pages, which you cannot get any of right now. Heck I got a few servants waiting on mats we can either not get at all or can barely get without expending thousands of AP.

I see people talking about having tons of mats in the Japanese version once in a while, is that because the drop rates becoming more generous eventually or just because grinding the shops during events gives lots of materials that have slowly been stockpiled?

Personally, it's more events.

It's also because you eventually cross a threshold where you've got a lot of materials because you don't have the exp to level up your servants to use up your materials.

Moon Cell Automaton gets put into the general pool but I think this is one of the few if not the only cases where an event CE sticks around in the non-event gacha.

Heads up:

The Kintoki rateup will include another 5* Servant every day on rotation.

So if you really want Waver/Vlad/etc you have the chance to get absolutely nothing except Black Keys if you roll on the correct sate.

There are two days where Kintoki is alone as the SSR rateup.

Just to confirm: A critndoes twice the damage and the total damage is then multiplied by 1 + critmod? Any additional effects?
And the rock paper scissor class system is also an actor 2?

the class system is 1.5x, not 2x.

crits also double the the amounts of stars and np you gen. crit damage up doesn't further increase those effects, however.

Criticals also double your NP gain and add 20% to your star drop rate.

The RPS modifiers vary. Usually they're x2 or /2, but there are exceptions - most notably berzerkers.

She's cool and her buster buff and healing stuff is actually pretty good. You need to use her as like a secondary support character, but if you can keep aggro off of her/keep her protected/swap her in for Buster memes then she's a very solid support. Her problems are more being Berserker makes her niche really weird, but she is actually pretty good.

Mind you the character herself is actually pretty funny and she's voiced by Sawashiro which helps a lot too.
