Yeah Apo.

Presumably because Rin and Sak's (great-?)grandma is supposed to be an Edelfelt that eloped (that's where they got the gemcraft, IIRC).

Yeah and also the cause of the enmity between Luvia and Rin, they're distant cousins who practice the same kind of magic.

The Edelfelts in the typical timeline really hates the Tohsakas
That's just more reason to take in Sakura, though. The Tohsaka poached one of theirs, so turnabout's fair play.

Well that and they're a bit too similar to like each other. It's a Nasu staple. :v:

Edelfelts have an unique sorcery trait that allow them to pass their mark down two successors, which is the main reason Tohsakas have to give up on Sakura in the first place.

Sakura doesn't have the sorcery trait, after all it its whole reason Sakura was given away in order to give her the protection of the heir magic crest

Not to confuse with the magic potential from birth (she is equal to Rin), but family crest is hand-picked to who it get passed down.

Sakura was sent away so that there wouldn't be any risk of her and Rin fighting over who got to inherit the family's secret magic recipe, or whatever it is they pass down.

So far I;m having a pretty relaxed experience in the event, but I'm a little worried. I've only just reached 50 missions completed, and the event lasts another week. How quickly can I empty the shop without apples when I unlock the EX missions?

So is this event the first instance in the NA version of a battle with special enemy mechanics? Specifically Zouken using command spells in the fight with Lancelot. I don't remember any in any of the previous events or the chapters up to America, but it's always possible I just killed the enemies before they did their thing.

The Dantes event gave every boss a skill unique to that particular encounter, if that applies.

Wait, so does this mean he starts the fight with 3 consective rounds of NP or a full revive with full NP?

Is the journey to the west event where all the Nightingale + LAlter fanart comes from? Peeking at it, the event CE outfits look pretty familiar.

as far as I know he just gets an NP instant-charge, but it's way softer than usual

in terms of ships generated completely randomly but through official FGO content, it's only outranked by riyo banging his hands on the table and going "helena/altera is a thing now". plus mordred dealing with her dozens of dad variants is fun in general.

There was something in the Valentine event like this and pretty sure there were other fights with different skills.

Sorcery traits are not like Magic Crests. They are innate part of the mage and somewhat like the origin.

You might want to check whether their master level is actually going up; some of them may be people who are just hitting the server every day for the login rewards.

Friend list management is just really hard, though, especially since I started giving low-level players priority. It would obviously be nice if the limit were two or three times the size it is.

Man, I want that new Evil Cat animation. Two years, though.

Animation updates seem to come down faster then the others thankfully. I'm pretty sure Medusa and Medea didn't get theirs until some point in part 1.5 in JP? But we have them now.
