Welp. After fifteen boxes, I finally got one (1) CE drop. Which of course isn't actually enough to make any difference to farm rate yet. Yay.

I don't think there's any doubt STELLA! has the top body count in my servant roster. (...even if you don't include ihimself...)

I MLBd after my first drop so I could finally do consistent 3 turn clears. I think I’m up to 5 total drops now

Note for Baal: Mata Hari doesn't have bad NP gain. Rather the opposite, as her raw gains on quicks are 4.2%, equivalent to a 1.4% arts card (and barely below noted NP monsters Kintoki Rider and Tamalancer). How many servants would be unhappy to have three 1.4% arts and a 2.1% one? She still has a lot of issues, but they mostly have to do with her terrible base stats and lack of NP interlude to make her a very strong debuffer, not with being unable to build bar.

I was completely apathetic about her until I somehow got NP3 while trying and failing to mlb Dangerous Beast. She is so incredibly good and don't know why she isn't praised to high heaven.

Congrats! I saved up quartz and tickets for about a month specifically to get either her or Vlad, but ended up coming away with nothing but Atalante. A bitter consolation prize, although I guess she’ll make a good partner for Kintoki when I finally get him.

She vogues the enemy to death and has weaponised sparkles, also she has a robosnek. Her design is good it's just that I don't care for the Dangan Ronpa artists' style. I don't regret pulling her.

Oh man this is a good JP banner. I dumped three rolls and a ton of tickets into it and got nothing but spooked by extra copies of Chiron and Carmilla (because seriously (maybe LB3 spoiler?)if you're going to get spooked by another gold assassin while going for Yu, why not also make it the other female vampire villain turned tsukkomi character in subsequent gag events)

I decide to give it one last swing, and managed to get both Yu and a copy of Red Hare. Yu's great, I think she's eclipsed Jalter in terms of complaining about why the hell we summoned her.

Assassin was also the only class I didn't have an AoE servant with an NP charge for, too, so she's even nice mechanic-wise. She does have a weird thing going on with her NP removing her own buffs, but with one of her skills giving buff removal resistance. I hope I'm not gonna have to max that too quickly.

I was kind of interested in the emperor dude, but it was more mechanically than in his character. I guess I'm happier just using him as a support rather than spending time farming up chinabits to feed him.

its 36 bells and 60 cores total to skill QSH his np scales his crit damage so he is a servant you really want to go all in for with multiple np (3 is prolly min) with.

Can confirm that Cleo is amazing. I was only going for NP1 at first, but after seeing how ridiculous her NP gain is, good stargen, hilarious self-healing and the usual insanity when Imperial Privilege lands, I dove back into the gacha for a second copy.

And I mean, she moonwalks and murders things with glamour sparks. Just fabulous. Put a Black Grail on her and watch her melt everything.

Semi is a pseudo-support Assassin with low damage outside of her NP, but a Buster debuff to compensate.

Cleo is a self-sufficient Assassin NP spammer that also happens to actually do damage outside of said NPs, with her only real flaw being the RNG of Imperial Privilege.

Personally, I think Semi's NP gain and NP gauge being in two different skills, as well as her third requiring stars, makes her skill set a bit clunky. Her NP gain seems to be about on par with Cleo's, assuming she's Arts chaining?

There is no better assassin farmer than Semirais. She's built for NP spamming, makes busters hit harder, generates stars, and is immune to caster advantage for most of the relevant turns.

Cleo:
AQQE - 44,52%
AQQE - 62,26% - Golden Rule active

Semiramis:
AAAE - 52,79%
AAAE - 63,08% - Double Summon active

And that's including the Arts 20% gauge boost. Without that, Cleo easily pulls ahead in NP gain.

The Buster debuff is really awesome, but considering she kind of wants to be in an Arts team to make her NP spam reliable, that seems counter-productive. Speaking of counter-productive, she might generate stars, but chomps 8 of them to even activate her best skill.

And since we're talking JP, Cleo has an interlude that adds utility to her NP and pushes its damage beyond Semi's.

The Caster advantage immunity is a really unique and cool effect, though outside of turning her damage neutral against Casters for the duration, I'd argue in terms of survivability Cleo still pulls ahead with Imperial Privilege's massive Defense buff, her self-healing and an Invulnerability if she's in a pickle.

Not the strongest, but the cutest.
In an effort to get Yu and reunite her with Xiang, I blew through 180 quartz (far more than I would have liked) and 11 tickets
What I got was a bunch of Gold CE's NP 2 Beowulf and Shi Huang Di.

So victory?? I feel bad I couldn't get Yu but I'll take what I can get.
