No Merlin but I got 3 Golds for 36 Quartz so I'm feeling good.

Meanwhile I'm in despair at 330 quartz and no Merlin. At least I got four 5* CEs plus a new Ibaraki and Rama.

It's available now, you just have to get through about 4 story fights before it opens up.

Do you have it set to only show servants with event CEs? Because there aren't any event CEs.

My worst nightmare. It's a dream I have. I'm in a square cell, glass walls, just me and a little castle.
75 tickets and 120 quartz and I got Beowulf and 2 Sthenos.

And a Kaleidoscope but that I'm okay with.

Ruby Prism

With this, I'll be able to make the ultimate pie!
I had a little over 1.5k quartz saved up and purchased, which is roughly three times what I've invested in any single banner other than Jalter. (And that one ended up basically lasting me through multiple banners.)

My first multi was a Drake spook, which I was pretty okay with, as NP2 is such a huge jump in damage. Merlin came home after about 600 quartz, and then nothing but 4*s for the remaining 800 or so, up until rainbow sparks got me a Jack spook. Daughter, I appreciate you coming home again, but you were already NP2!

I really really wanted my NP2 fluffy mage, but I'm not whaling on this banner beyond what I planned. (Technically it's already well past that point, since I was hoping for leftover quartz for Quetz.)

Kept a little over 30 paid quartz for the New Year's guaranteed banner, but NP2 Merlin will have to wait until his next rate-up, whenever that is.

Double Merlin (and to a lesser extent Jalter) is so powerful starting in Shinjuku they had to introduce a whole new mechanic just to keep you from killing bosses in one turn.

Personally I think they added Break Bars because they were a useful tool for making boss fights more interesting and enabling some story fight mechanics that they obviously wanted and that reducing the impact of OTK combos was a happy bonus, rather than them specifically going out of their way to counteract Merlin.

Just like I think the increase in pierce invulnerability is overblown and also not specifically just a Merlin thing.

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


330 Quartz and the only thing of note was my first Kscope and a single 4-star, Siegfried (now NP2).


Barbatos @ 362k/18%

Against my better judgment, I decided to risk the 30 paid quartz I had left over for one last attempt. Maybe I'd get the NP2 I had been chasing after all, but I knew I'd probably just regret it.



:aaaaa: This means I'll have to buy a little bit more quartz for the New Year's banner now, but I don't care! Thank you for coming home again fluffy boy!
