for who knows if life is short or long?


Man's life is like the morning dew

past days many, future days few

:colbert: people saying their first SSR but not explaining how the throne of heroes thought they had matching personalities



Like my first SSR was vanilla Jeanne on the jalter banner, and I cried like a baby until I saved enough quartz to roll the true jalter five days later.

straight up i didn't really roll much on the gacha for my first few months, so aside from slowly getting 3* from fp gacha, i just had some SRs

ozy is way too much of a cartoon to relate much to, i suppose the Grail matched us because i think he's cute enough to allow his bullshit. that would also explain why nito has spooked me six times

I remember I was struggling against Hektor back when Okeanos dropped and my only Saber was Gilles de Rais. I was doing some sort of challenge run, I guess, where I wouldn't use any friend servants against story missions because I thought the game was fair enough to beat without using any overleveled Friend Servants. Eventually I got so frustrated I pulled on the Story Banner and got my first SSR... And second... and third...



This was back in, like October of 2017, I just never had a good reason to post it in here since I found this megathread months after this pull. I dunno what this says about me, because it sure isn't "good luck" considering the past few months :v:

Just the throne telling you that being a parent might be what you want, deep down. At least if you want to give her pants.

Technically my first SSR was Altera, but I rerolled for her. My first non reroll SSR was Altria. I guess the throne was telling me that I would be terrible for years, but eventually get better :cool:.

So with Shinjuku coming out soon, I wanted to ask if EoR singularities are ever a requirement for events? It not, I'll wait for half AP. All these materials I need won't farm themselves.

No, never. When they bump up the event reqs it goes from Solomon to the Lostbelts. However, they do eventually add some special missions that give quartz per singularity completion, including the EoR chapters.

Keep in mind that Shinjuku is the first farmable hearts node outside of events and daily class missions, so you have to beat Shinjuku if you want access to it.

Hey guys, maintenance starts early today, at two hours before the day rollover, instead of at the rollover. So you only have just over an hour and a half to finish your challenge quests before they run out

My first SSR was Jeanne, because we’re both obsessed with her Chuuni sister. If we don’t count rerolls, my first was Altera, because we both agree Gacha is Bad Civ and have lousy luck with getting SSR’s when we want them

My first SSR was Vlad, quickly followed by Jeanne. My first (non-starter) SR, before both of those, was Anne & Mary. That's almost the entire spectrum, so maybe I've just got broad compatibility.

The high was big enough to lvl 100 the fucker, but to be fair, I practically started FGO because of him. I don't think I appreciated rolling him as much as I would now, given that he got here in my first 10 roll after the free one.

My first SSR was Mordred, who character wise is one of my favorites. Maybe there is something to this.

If you’ve cleared Solomon you’re good for a year, at which point part 2 stuff stars showing up. That being said, the EoR chapters have a lot of quartz in them, Shinjuku has a lot of good farming nodes, the others have farming modes for new mats you’ll need if you roll a new servant, and they all have pretty good stories.

For those who haven’t cleared Solomon, you’ll want to do so before the CCC event which should probably be around May.

Didn't know this. I took down Gil and he dropped a noice red and gold chest which probably contains the last archer monument I need to max out Arash but maintence kicked in before I could find out. Does the game bookmark these things or am I screwed out of my treasure?

Also, what is this Shinjuku? Is it another Singularity?

Epic of Remnant is what you call Part 1.5.

It's not mandatory, but the game assumes you have played it.

Shinjuku is the modern city shenanigans with Jalter and Salter.

Game bookmarks everything. Worst comes to worse, you just have to redo the final turn to finish the quest when you come back.

Thank goodness. Also, not hard. I love you goons who lead with level 90-100 Jeanne Alters with half-charged NP bars. It really helps noobs like me even when leaning heavily on the Waver crutch.

They specifically say that they don't guarantee quests can be continued across maintenance, so you might still lose it. In practice, though, maintenance that kicks you out of quests seems to be a very rare occurrence.

Waver is not a crutch, he is just your overworked friend who happens to speed things up and also smokes.

With Shinjuku's double bond for Evil servants, I'm hoping to put a good dent on the last bond level I need for my Alters and Angra.

Do future singularities offer that for different alignments too?
