Knowledge is pain plus observation.


Cleared out the damage rewards! :toot:

Also got 30 quartz thanks to hitting a login milestone alongside the 700 day reward.

Also back during the original run I left the hands alive not because of needing the extra damage on ST, but because their attacks are weak and deal a ton of hits to help build NP while also eating one of Ibaraki's turns.

I'm ashamed to say that my Arash is only grailed to L90 so not able to oneshot 6M haha

From my testing a Bodhisvatta isn't nearly as good as the event 300% CE despite the Bodhi CE supposedly increasing my ATK 400% vs the event's 300%. It must be applying somewhere else in the damage formula.

Redid the calculation and it agrees with my empirical evidence.

For Arash, his OC bonus is directly added to the NP damage multiplier rather than being multiplicative. So assuming NP5 OC3, you go from 1200% to 1600%. Event CE is applying a 300% multiplicative power mod.

I use poorly drawn Nurse/support Merlin, though that one you need to find an extra 20%NP gauge somewhere instead of just 10%(that Artoria rank up quest would be handy right about now)

this glorious monument

Good news: After kinda skunking out dropping 200 SQ on the Quetz/Ishtar banner I pulled Waver from a ticket.
Bad news: I am 2 caster pieces shy of his 2nd ascension, there are no caster pieces for sale in the event shop and Caster day isn't until the event is over so I can't use him to bust up the Banana. Unless I do 20 or so runs of some random Orleans level and hope I get 2 of them at 10% per drop. Which I won't.
Good news: But who cares I have Waver.

So I already finished the damage, is the best farming kill 3BP hands then die with +11 (maybe more if I can get the support for it), or is clearing 2BP at +8 better?

I don't think I've ever seen his FA before finishing him up today. But I really appreciate the few characters that get a pretty different 3rd ascension art.

I've been dragging him on my Bond levelling team (AKA what I use for anything that's not an Event or an actual threat) and he's depressingly weak. About the one time I accidentally appreciated him is when I didn't realize a Ruler Martha would show up on someone's Rank Up quest and he just went to town. But even with Waver and stars supplied he's just eh...

i'll take what i can get when it comes to avoiding Jalter, and with Atalante's quick boost he can't be too bad as a nuker. definitely not seeing much of a use case for him as a neutral damage dealer pre-Skadi though. being ST means he can't leverage the typical avenger advantages as well as Dantes (who i've got on the backburner) or Gorgon on mixed nodes.

It's very obvious even back in America that they wanted to try making bosses with multiple phases and more unique mechanics. Break Bars are fairly elegant solution to a lot of problems previous fgo boss fights wanted solved

- A way to give fights multiple phases
- A way to trigger unique mechanics
- And yes, a way to keep 1 turn burst from being too op.
Even back in Okeanos it's pretty clear Herk would've been given break bars. Even if it's only a cosmetic "break bar, new bar has $BIGNUM HP, battle ends" style bar, it'd better sell the whole "we just keep hitting the dude and he don't give a gently caress!" vibe he's supposed to give.

If we wanna be pedantic it's technically rolling a second attack with equivalent stats to his first attack, using OC level instead of NP level.

i don't like the sort of ubiquitous buster dps units that get rec'd to throw at everything like jalter/herc/cu alter. it comes up with uh, assassins and archers too, where i prefer to avoid using jack and artoria/chloe. the op supports are basically on this same tier but since their role allows them to compensate for "bad" dps units, i don't have any qualms about double merlin or skadi system or whatever else.

Still levelling up and trying out some of the less useful characters.
I like how Sabre Gilles looks like someone stapled half of a Caster outfit on him.
Meanwhile I'm glad Boudica gets a better outfit but then I saw her NP for the first time ever. It's just... it's just a bunch of wheels. This has to be updated at some point, right?

Did the Hands have the charge on death Palm skill in the original run of this? I don't remember it at all.
