probably not much reason to use herc if you've made it to ccc already and have other good damage dealers to raise instead

I should use a lot of really good servants that are currently gathering dust because the way to farm embers costs 40 goddamned AP. :argh:

Counterpoint: Herc is still one of the better berserkers to this day and very much worth using.

I don't use my Herc because that's just too easy.

if given the choice i'd just prefer to take a zerker who trades some of herc's superfluous survivability for more damage or utility like nobu/nyalter/jerker/beowulf/ibaraki

granted like 75% of that list is JP exclusive so i get why people might like herc now but i bond 10'd the dude in my backline and he has only ever seen use for low turn clears in solomon.

In the wrong hands, the stapler is a deadly weapon.

Did two 10-rolls and threw in 10 tickets. Ended up getting one Passionlip and one Suzuka. Can't really complain since I wanted at least one of the Alter Ego characters.

I like a lot of the updates this time around too, like not having to unequip Craft Essences to use them up for experience points.

Have a Ruler or someone elses Ruler beat her up, you just need to break her first bar I believe.

Thanks for the tip. I went into that fight blind and got beat down pretty badly the first time.

For me, the wanderer was Francis Drake. After I blew all my quartz failing to get her when Okeanos came out, and multiple rolls on her banners since then.

Drake getting drunk and washing up long after she was called for is very in-character though :v:

Nightingale was mine. Unfortunately, she doesn't really bring much to my roster except nursing power.

She's a pretty solid support. Even with the berserker weakness, she's fairly sturdy against humanoids, which most bosses are.

Well, Six 10 rolls and I come away with NP3 Melt, NP1 Passionlip, and NP2 Suzuka and a whole bunch of event CEs.

I'm definitely happy with this outcome.

The music in the event shop makes me nostalgic from back when I played CCC.

What date do I want to progress through the missions by? Is there any reason I can't grind a bunch of XP tonight and do the missions tomorrow? I did the first few (through the one after you fight BB), but I really want to throw some XP at a few of these servants before I start seriously grinding (namely Karna and Drake since those will be very useful for grinding).

By the way, limit breaking the gacha CEs in this seems like a better deal than in most past events. It doesn't just double the benefit; it goes from +20% to +50%. The one with Rin and Rani is also quite good just from a gameplay standpoint - +15% to Arts and Buster when limit-broken.

If you follow a guide you have about 2k AP over the 3 weeks extra.

don't waste stuff on karna, outside of the bosses in each node they're made up of mostly cavalry class enemies he has no advantage on. drake is a great investment though, since she can stomp the caster-type enemies.

Dang, Passionlip's attacks look pretty cool, what with the 3d giant claws and stuff.

edit: I've noticed a few animation updates. Elizabeth Lancer's attacks and NP look different, as does Jack's NP.

Hm, BB seems kind of annoying so I'm wondering what her real deal is so she gets good.

The event itself seems kind of fun so far and I hope the Wanted Servant fights are entertaining.

She doesn't, despite her cutesy act she's about as evil as they get. The other sakura faces are good though.

There are some real bastards who I like/tolerate so far in this game but BB hasn't done much to endear me to her. I do appreciate her honesty with wanting me dead and I will admit I'm still on Act 2 because having to grind to move forward with the plot is the only thing I don't like with this event.

I realized earlier this afternoon that BB is basically a more photogenic, Sakura-flavored version of Mojo from X-Men

Didn't really affect how I feel about her positively or negatively, though

BB is Sakura if the torture she was subjected to growing up was 4chan and not worms.


Jokes aside, when you're trying to determine if BB is likable or a good person or not, remember: She is Sakura. Let that speak for itself. :v:

Fair warning: That is a lot of events.

If you don't find BB funny at this point, you probably won't come to find her funny later. She has some good moments, but I'm not that big a fan of her, myself. :shrug:
