So, any tips for a newcomer to the game? I've gotten to Okeanos, been grinding dailies when possible using support servants that let me even cheese the 40 AP ones. The current summon gacha isn't really appealing to me so I haven't been spending any on it, though I have been using mana prisms for tickets. Is there a specific trick to getting exp cards cause my servants are starting to get underlevelled in late Okeanos.

BlitzBlast posted:He's telling you the trick to getting a ton of mana prisms, which you can exchange at Da Vinci's for like 40 4* ALL XP. Ah, thanks. Just read further on a translation guide to the interface. Burning 3-star exp (Silver exp) gives you mana prisms? Well gently caress, I've been using them up previously. Edit: Is there any reason to keep Shielder up in levels? Or even have her in the front lines if you can squeeze out more type-advantages with other servants? I've read that she gets better after Camelot but I'm just at London. Argas fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Dec 16, 2016 |

BlitzBlast posted:All bronze Servants get assloads of HP from the extra ~40 levels, but other than that there's nobody who strictly benefits from it more than anyone else. I guess Arash can become a super suicide bomber but eeeeeh. Yeah, I tend to use her skills quite a lot, she's just not that impressive on the damage side due to standing outside the RPS triangles, and my party being generally underleveled means I lean heavily on support servants. Servant-wise, I have EMIYA and Carmilla from the initial draw. Picked up Medea later. Mostly been slotting one of those three in appropriate/neutral matchups alongside Shielder and crazy-strong supports. Have Cu Caster, Kiyohime, and David from story missions. For 3-stars, I have Caesar, Euryale, Robin Hood, Young Cu, Tawara Toda, Paracelsus, Geronimo, Hassan of Serenity, Young Alex and, Lu Bu. Have not really bothered leveling the last bunch of 3-stars yet because until recently I was starved on exp cards and I'm not sure how well they compare. Plus, holding out for better quartz draws.

BlitzBlast posted:I speak from experience when I say you can lean on your Support until the very last bits of America. Thanks for all the help. Have they redone summoning campaigns for limited servants after their release? I've used to the idolmaster phone game (my poor wallet!) where they'd occasionally bring back limited cards (usually higher % of drawing them vs other super rares) for a week or so, usually when it's seasonally appropriate. And I do have a bunch of bronzes from friend point draws. Luckily just happened to start when they were handing out thousands of points.

Is it usually worth upgrading NPs? I have a second Euryale and Medea. Euryale's NP looks devastating against male Saber-class enemies and 300% for the upgrade looks nice. No idea on Medea and I haven't had much luck/opportunity stripping buffs with Medea. Edit: Is there a good time to unlock the other Mystic Codes? I notice they're level 50 so I'm wary of spending 40 AP to see just how outclassed I am even with a good support. Edit 2: If I'm reading this right, star generation is the amount of stars that attacks generate, and absorption is when the stars are assigned to attacks, higher absorption = more crits?

Is there a cap on AP? I'm sitting on 400 from taking advantage of the half-AP cost for story quests and have been grinding through levels.

I suspected as much. Just hadn't been paying attention to my AP and 400 looked like it may have been a cap.

How do raid events work anyway? I'm guessing the Solomon stuff will stick around after the raid stuff ends, otherwise the plot wouldn't make much sense.

Freak Futanari posted:I dunno, they were pretty inclusive to newbies too, since they handed out enough golden apples that a new player should have been able to plow through the game over the last couple weeks. Unless you literally started yesterday or something, in which case it'd have been hard to do well in any event, really I started about a week and a half ago. The half AP for main story missions has been a huge help but I've run into a roadblock with Camelot. Gacha RNG means I have a hard time putting together a decent team. Cap on number of things I can buy with mana prisms means I need to grind more exp cards from the repeatable dailies, and I'm in for a long grind on most ascension items past the first time.

At the very least, they're special magical artifact swords with all sorts of special properties. Sure, you won't be making them shoot laser beams or call down the heavens but they're still magical artifacts.

Not quite sure which paid gacha I'd want to roll for or which day I want to spend my gems on. I could use a good AoE archer so Gil and Ishtar would be nice, but taking a shot at Lancer Artoria would be nice too, though no idea if the paid gacha cares about story unlocks (still haven't cleared camelot). Also, rip Olga.

Ytlaya posted:Yeah, just bring an Archer with an AoE NP for the second round and finish charging the Archer's NP during the first round. Only issue is getting the Archer's NP charged up since you'll (ideally) have one of the event CEs that don't give NP charge equipped. I've been relying on support Ishtars with the event CE since she's got a decent NP charger skill.

Trying to make sense of this event. The various Valentine CEs, from 2016 as well as the new ones boost chocolate coin drops for classes (2016 for equipped class, 2017 for what's strong against equipped class). It costs 150 coins for each Servant-specific chocolate. These Chocolate CEs are just exp fodder/proof of your devotion to your waifu? They can also be traded 1:1 for chocolate that can be spent towards shop items, which is the real meat of the game? And there's chocolate molds you can use to try and farm a specific class coin but you'll want to have the right team comp for that?

I just realized that there's an aspect of the chocolate coin drops that I didn't even bother asking about. Are drops determined by what CE you equip and/or what enemies you face? If I run, say, a lancer team with anti-class CEs, does that mean I'll get saber coins even if I use an archer mold for type-effective clearing?

Aumanor posted:Enemies only drop their own class coins and the ALL-class coins. Also, the anti-class CEs boost the drop rate of the coins of the class the equipped servant counters, i.e. one equipped on a Lancer will increase the amount of Archer coins dropped. Ah. I always took the anti-class thing to mean that it'd boost drops of what the equipped servant is weak to.

Endorph posted:Keep in mind that Rin had to blow every single gem she had to kill hercules once, and she'd been supplying some of those gems with mana daily for upwards of ten years. It really isn't something she could do on demand. Plus, everyone usually has a trump card to play so opening up with everything you have just leaves you helpless if their trump card happens to counter it in some way.
