Oh god the grinding. The beating your head against RNG bullshit compounded upon RNG bullshit compounded upon RNG bullshit. Sometimes there's exactly one way to win, and all the RNGs must be favorable for that to happen.
And then you must do it again 5-7 more times.

Although those are usually summer events. The rest aren't that bad.

Not counting farming for drops, though. Those who do that are hosed in the head.

Well there's a reason why the recommended level keeps increasing. :v:
Remember to pay attention to the class preview. The item reward also often foreshadows the enemy you'll fight.

Attila still carries, although I had to burn a CS for a heal. Karna was actually the easy part. Brokitas are hax.

Yeah, I've decided I can and will now only ever do the Lancer 40AP quest if and only if I have Atilla on my team, I auto lose otherwise. If I could get Lily to 60 or could equip the +50% attack CE on someone on my back line I think I could do it, but not before. Lily is just only slightly weaker with her +100% CE than Okita or my mordred it seems but lacks the health to last until round 3.

I think I must be really lucky with this event since it feels like my saber team Nero has done pretty well aside from the lvl 90 repeatable quest, but it's lvl 90. (I also swapped out the saber team for my usual arts team, that was a mistake but eh, still 3sealed a victory out of it :v:)

I found that D'eon pretty helpful for getting through any wave that happens to have a servant with a single target NP (Scathach, JtR, etc).

I'd say Kan Colle's construction system is easier than most gachas, at least. It is criminally grindy, though.

From what I've seen people talking about the 16"/50 caliber Mark 7 triple turret was a ranking reward last month, so people are guessing there will be an Iowa or two around spring or so.


Anyways, I'm starting to believe that claims that event bosses drop CEs is an elaborate lie. I've never had one drop from them in any event, and this one specifically I've done a fairly large amount of grinding, at least for me.

I've gotten more CE drops from bosses in this event than in any other, which is funny since the CEs this time around are really loving poo poo outside of the event. I wish i could trade them in for the last Halloween Princess i never got in the Halloween event.

Also i just passed 1 million points, and got my final Lily card, which has literally no purpose whatsoever since i already had a Lily when the event started. Great event planning!

Exactly same as me! I got 3 or 4 lily CE drop and 2 artoria CE drop so far.

You lucky bastard. (They're prolly saving the A-150 because if they release a fully-functional A-150 it'd prolly be OP as gently caress, since it falls in the hypothetical side of things)

They drop but you need obnoxious amounts of grinding or obnoxious amounts of luck.

I actually really appreciate the construction and most importantly the lack of emphasis put on rarity. Unlike most gacha games where a 5* is objectively superior to a 4* and so on, KC's best and/or most useful ships are often early drops and just take grinding.

Oh, and:

quote:

According to devs, this ranking reward is an early implementation of the equipment, and the global implementation will come this spring at its earliest. It will be come with the implementation of new kanmusu(s) with the equipment throughout the year.
So Iowa confirmed for spring at the earliest.

I feel as though they need to implement a better version of the Burning/Trade in mechanic. Like, what if I want to exchange tubes for lenses or transistors? What if I have extra Servant cards I don't need? Why can't I trade them in or not to an entirely different account for a fee?

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.
Speaking of rolling http://news.fate-go.jp/2016/rayfpf/ A new download count celebration.

A ton of quartz, tickets, apples, and Fou cards for daily logins. Picking one of ten Servant CE that gives more bond points. Saber's casual clothes for female masters and a stylish vest for male masters.

New player bonus is gaining more tickets, as well.

Okay, so this is just plain not happening. The only way I could possibly do this is by blowing upwards of 2 quartz for rezes (spent 3 Command Seals for yesterday's Quest) and the prizes above 1 millon just plain aren't worth it.

Yeah, i had to spend 2 quartz to win it, but it did give enough Artorium to give me the last rewards i wanted, so i guess it wasn't too bad since 2 quartz is just half a Black Key anyway

Considering we're gonna get more freebies for the download count celebration, 2 quartz shouldn't be too bad.

I thought that Lancer Arturia was a joke since her NP couldn't one-shot my team without any defense buffs active. I cleared it in one try on a blind attempt without using CS.

I'm glad I leveled up D'eon prior to the event. D'eon is a tanky beast and was pivotal to my success in every event mission. Other than needing to use CS for my first attempt at MHZ's mission, I have never needed to use a CS because of D'eon. I wanted to hoard a full set of Fous for a future servant, but D'eon deserves the full stat boost since he/she will always be useful for these kind of events.

So i was pretty disappointed, since i had burned my quartz and tickets without getting Nero (who would go really well with my current team).

I get my 7 day login ticket, and use it because who cares, i'll just get trash.

And then bam! Nero.

Not sure if they're gonna ever have another event where you can get Saber Lily so there's little chance you'll get to upgrade her beyond this event. You're only at 500k though?

I'm at 492k right now. I just realized though that those other item dailies give a bunch of Ahoge after the Lvl 40 point though, so I might switch to those. But I only have maybe a day? Unless I buy Quartz I don't think it's physically possible.

e: Okay, wow, I'm up to almost 800k from doing most of those with the last two remaining, jesus. Just *miiiiiiiiight* squeeze in Lily's NP to level 5.

e2: I did it! Alturia Lancer brought me to well over a million, wow. :haw:

I just took a good look at the prizes at the 1mil to 2mil range and getting something like 500 mana prisms seems like a worth while goal. I'm farming Ruler now so I can buy those exp cards.
