Nyaa posted:Not much. At least nothing event specific are super good must-have to worry about it. You have a little advantage of rolling current event roll chance boosted servant via rerolling. Kinoki is a great berserker if you want to reroll for him. I'm not exactly clear on this rerolling thing. From what i've gathered it's just deleting the files and starting from scratch, right?

One more question for the road: What does the stuff you can buy for mana prisms do and which ones are worth buying? I'm currently sitting on around a hundred.

Aumanor posted:Unreasonable expectations, most probably, but I was hoping for the five-star Berserker. He's been carrying me as a support until Troika changed his leader As for purchasing more inventory slots: it's not really necessary until you hit a hard wall. By that, I mean reaching max levels for most of your servants and being unable to ascend them because of (currently) unobtainable ascension materials. For the early game, you'll get by with the default amount, but once you reach a certain point then you can purchase inventory expansions. Until you've reached a wall, it's better to save Quartz for rolls that could probably help bolster your line-up or team composition. I have 160 total inventory slots and I've rarely gone over 80 used spaces because I'll eventually feed all my saved 4* EXP cards to someone. At least having all this space enables me to hoard as many EXP cards as I can

Did you buy the red/gold chest and the summoning tickets yet (those are basically one free roll on the quartz gatcha)? Those are limited time only as well as any item marked as 400 Mill.

He's been carrying me as a support until Troika changed his leader If you recently started the game there is no better servant to have than Jeanne. She's roughly a million times better at lower levels than a berserker. You might start wishing she was a berserker when you can comfortably farm the 40 AP exp quests, but even then I've had level 70 friends list Berserkers get focus fired down in the first turn of the first round and relied on level 30ish Jeanne to carry me through. Trihugger posted:The first time I used Jeanne was an accident on one of the 30 AP Nero events. She was level 1. Not only was she my last servant standing, but I actually won that battle.

The Good End BD is out, and it's  Also great ED piano theme which I assume is from the VN and is Saber's theme?It isn't remotely as long as the original epilogue so I would assume events right afterwards proceed roughly the same way but better + more adventuring. With Saber training Shirou at the clocktower I imagine Shirou's goal is a lot more easily in reach plus her support as a somewhat nerfed (because of mana constraints) Heroic Spirit. Yeah narrative and all that, but as an ending it's implications are mostly positive aside from whatever goes on with Sakura afterwards in the non-HF endings (probably nothing much bad, Shinji seems to mellow out in the end of UBW and presumably Zouken just decides to wait until the next war which never comes because of Waver).

Well, Rin's harem is truly complete with Saber around, so either way is a good ending for her.

Aumanor posted:Unreasonable expectations, most probably, but I was hoping for the five-star Berserker. He's been carrying me as a support until Troika changed his leader Since I don't think anyone has explicitly said this, the drop rate for 4*/5* servants is extremely low in this game. You could possibly spend $1000 on multi-rolls and not get a specific 5* you were aiming for (unless it was a drop-rate increase event for that specific servant, like the current one for Gintoki). I think there's something like a 9-10% chance of getting a 5* servant for each multi-roll (1-.99^10). This means that aiming for a 5* servant when rerolling would be extremely gruelling (you'd possibly be looking at ~50-100 rerolls), much less a specific 5*, so I highly recommend against rerolling if you were considering doing so (now that you already have a 5*, much less one of the best 5*s).

One of Zouken's obvious possible moves to try to stop Rin and Waver from destroying the Grail is using Sakura as a hostage. At the very least, she's still going to have the Crest Worms nibbling at her as long as Zouken is around.

About crest worms - do they physically exist or are they some sort of strange magical entity? Like, if a doctor did an examination on Sakura's body would he see all these worms (or at least a bunch of her body being hosed up as a result)? Or do they just stick to her magic circuits or whatever? edit: please tell me it's the latter

Apparently there will be a Halloween event for FGO, wherein we'll be able to apparently get a special limited edition Halloween Elizabeth Bathory.  (I don't have enough dragon teeth to ascend the first one a second time even  )

At the very least, she's still going to have the Crest Worms nibbling at her as long as Zouken is around. A few HF scenes with Sakura thinking to herself seem to imply that when Zouken isn't doing anything in particular she has a decent amount of control over them (since that is her magecraft now?) and I don't think are as bad when she doesn't have a Servant draining her mana.

What is that purple polyhedron thing you can buy in the store for 100 prisms? Also, is Boudica any good because between the normal draw, the quartz draw, and the reward for clearing Rome I got three of them in the span of 24 hours and I'm beginning to think the game is trying to tell me something.

I believe it is the item you use to upgrade a skill to level 10. In other words, you probably won't be using it for a really, really long time. In case you're not aware, you can upgrade Boudica's NP by feeding her to herself in the Noble Phantasm menu option. She might be worth using in place of one of your existing 1*/2* servants until you get something better.

Schubalts posted:More like never, when it costs tens of millions of QP. Well, I have 20-30M right now (mostly from what they've given out during events) so it wouldn't be super impossible when thinking about the game in the long term, but when considering the cost of all the levels and items prior to 10 (and multiple skills on each servant) it's definitely the sort of thing that you won't be completing unless you play the game regularly for a very long time.

Her stats are pretty low even among Riders, and she has the additional drawback that she has a non-damaging Noble Phantasm, which are almost unilaterally bad(there are a few exceptions - Ruler's, for instance). Level and upgrade her when you have spare stuff lying around to unlock her Interlude, but I wouldn't bother actually using her otherwise if you can help it. As for Halloween Liz, I'm torn. On the one hand, she's a great Servant, but on the other she's also the one I chose when they did that free giveaway. So if they're exactly the same, I'm somewhat annoyed I didn't choose a 4* from a different class. I'll probably hold onto the Dragon Fangs I currently have(only one short of her second ascension at the moment) until we get more info.

Robin Hood has great HP and does huge NP damage but his normal attacks are lackluster. Boobica's NP is a party buff, which I don't really find useful, but I haven't leveled her to try her out.

While I agree about the NP, her stats aren't any better or worse than other 3* Riders (this applies to pretty much every servant, actually; any X* servant will have roughly the same sum of HP/ATK as any other X* servant). She has 10130/6289 max HP/ATK while Medusa, for example, has 8937/7200.

Except that 1000 point difference in ATK is huge, and I'd say it's significantly more important than the 1200 point difference in HP. That gap in ATK means there's actually a noticeable difference in how quickly you kill stuff - which means the enemy gets more attacks as well. And, more importantly, a better chance of activating their NP, which tend to be one-shot kills regardless of HP you have due to how much damage they do.

The new Elizabeth is a Caster and you'll have to have finished Orleans to be able to do the event (campaign quests will be half-AP through the end of the month). There's also going to be a new update like the one that showed which wave it is/let you change battle commands. It's going to introduce a new item that'll restore AP and I guess if you use that or a Quartz, you'll be able to restore past your max AP. The update will let you choose which battle graphic to use for ascended Servants and it looks like they'll also show information about enemy classes before you start a quest. There's a few more things but those are some of the bigger changes. They also plan on releasing the new chapter after the event, in the early part of November.
