Or Euryale. Really, neutral damage is more of a suggestion when she's facing a male servant in general.

When exactly does BB become available in the quest? I've got all these embers I'm sitting on and it's taking a lot of willpower not to sink them into Melt.

Not until the main story has ended, basically. And you'll want to save about 130 of those embers because you'll need to get her to her third ascension.

Trying to figure out where to budget my SQ rolls at the moment, when abouts are we expecting Penthesilea to show up on NA? July-ish?

I got both Suzuka and Lip in a single 10x pull and I like them both enough I kind of want NP2 for either of them. But I've got a big stack of SQ budgeted for rolling Summer Nito to NP2 (hopefully), and hopefully at least one Penny (IIRC that 4* selector later this year has her so I can hopefully get her to NP2 that way).


Meanwhile my wife rolled once for Suzuka, and then got really mad because she got 5* Altria instead :v:

Penth and Suzuka are both on the pick ticket later this year so you could really go either way. Penth should be here in June though, around anniversary.

Oh nice, I didn't see that Suzuka was on that selector as well. Whoever else shows up on the banner with Penny would be the deciding factor for me then, but my wife will be happy to know she can just grab her as well. No requirements for the selector right?

Settlements for lawsuits commonly include clauses that prevent you from discussing terms of the settlement. Turns out it's a whole lot cheaper to settle out of court when you have employees that specialize in mysterious disappearances to encourage rapid resolutions to potentially protracted legal battles, and then you can slip in a gag clause to keep anyone from discussing any "theoretical" statistics you may have let slip.

"Did you know that 98% of people who win punitive judgement for over $1m against clients like mine typically end up bankrupt or dead within five years? Crazy statistics, huh? No, those glowing blue flames are nothing to worry about, would you like my professional assistant to fetch you some coffee before we start talking figures?"

Tiamat had no concept of death to exploit until first Hassan cut off her wing. So lore-wise, no.

I have a very careful plan to give B.B. 100 shop silver embers, 50 shop gold embers, and 50 monthly shop gold embers. This left me with 50 shop embers I could spend on melt yesterday.

Ready to Poyozo Dance all over your face.
It's convenient to have them plotting to kill you, because even if you don't know the exact means of execution, you at least understand what their ultimate end game is and can plan around it avoiding it, sometimes with an unlikely assist from a lucky break or two.

It's when they've got goals in mind other than killing you that you need to start worrying.

I like FGO Lip's design a lot.

Also a lot of the tenor and tone of BB reminds me of some of the madcap Beato antics from Umineko and that is extremely good civ IMO.

"everyone is untrustworthy and potentially evil, especially the ones claiming to be your friend, so trust no one" was Shinjuku's whole schtick too, so it doesn't really have quite as much narrative oomph as it's probably intended to

I feel like SO many servants have had Meltryllis' personality, it's just a bit boring at this point. All the talk about wanting to betray or kill you is just eye-rolling.

it's basically impossible to take people like BB seriously at this point so her being like GONNA KILL YA is more endearing than scary. Plus, for all her "hahaha I tricked you senpai!!!" stuff, she really... didn't. You came because you were told the station was sinking and people are in danger, and, uh, that's true.

But assassins do half damage to casters. It'd make more sense to have a rider on the payroll.

e: unless the assassin is a countermeasure for that.

I found Shinjuku's take on the old "evil can't comprehend good" concept quite interesting. Crime Grandpa had to actually care about Gudako for his plan to work, because otherwise she'd have noticed something was off, and any other plan would have been smelled out the same way.
But he had no idea what caring for somebody meant, so during the final battle he had a moment of hesitation he couldn't have predicted and accounted for, and in high level Servant combat a moment's hesitation is enough to eat all the NPs completely unprepared.

Current event speculation: Maple is totally Zepar dammit I liked her.
