Lancelot kills waves and makes scads of crit stars, Kintoki kills bosses. The answer is both!

It also doesn't need a spoiler tag, silvers turning into golds happens quite a bit.

Well, that was a satisfying result to listening to someone telling me to man up and just burn my last pull on Jeanne instead of saving for Waver. Saber Alter, Heaven's Feel, Prisma Cosmos, and Jeanne all on the same pull.

New Leaf posted:Is it generally considered a better use of Ascension resources ascending someone high level, making someone already fairly powerful even more powerful, or low level, potentially filling out weaker spots in your roster? I don't have enough Serpents Eyes to Ascend Orion, but I could do Stheno now.. I know she isn't the greatest but she's the only good Assassin I have. The prior. At this point in game, one super strong orion will carries you far, and you might get better assassin later. Leveling Hassan is still better than stheno.

Threw two pulls at the Jeanna-up day for the hell of it. First pull was a bunch of garbage. Second pull was all of the 3-Star Riders I've already NP 5'd (including a bonus Ushiwakamaru), a Robin Hood (also already NP 5'd), and... Berserker 5: THE GOLDEN. Oh, and the Taiga Craft Essence. So now I have Heracles, Lancelot and THE GOLDEN for Berserkers. What do?

It's arguably even more ridiculous if you replace George with Leonidas for more Buster chains and eventually an all allies buster boost.

Huh, do they actually add story in the future versions of Nero Colosseum? (Well, "story". Something in the vein of the dumpling event. Random and silly, but with Servants interacting with each other and stuff) Because it looks like there was a bit of story there?

quick guide for the 2016 exhibition quests. If they get altered any, well, I'm owned.quote:1: Twelve Trials First thing you'll want to do is cleanse his arts debuff. Rider Martha can do it for the entire party, the Atlas academy uniform lets you do it for one ally, and there's a decent number of Servants with self-cleanses. He only uses it on the frontliners, so just make sure your frontline has some way to deal with it as a group. He takes a while to kill, and even if all your servants only have one arts card, that's still damage and NP gain you're missing out on. Besides that, hes' a pretty straightforward Berserker. Since he guts'es so much, the main idea is to space out your damage buffs instead of blowing them all. 500k damage is functionally the same as 120k, under the circumstances. Hercules is a [Male] [Divine] [Greek], so servants with big attack buffs or NPs that specifically target him down would include Medb, Scathach, Ruler Martha, Orion, Euryale, both Archer and Berserker Nobunaga, and El Dorado Berserker. Overall, he can be taken out with pretty basic tactics (Mash + Hans + A Damage Dealer) without much issue. quote:2: Teacher and Student, Light and Shadow This is a pretty simple gimmick. Obviously, you want to kill them both in the same turn. The only real difficulty in that is if they decide to get cute with their dodge skills. Servants with invincible pierce or those who can grant it to others, such as Musashi, Holmes, or the Count of Monte Cristo are all useful. Summer Frankenstein can also remove their buffs. quote:Night of a Hundred Murders have you ever wanted an excuse to use caster cu because oh boy do i have the challenge quest for you For real though, the Hassan skills that instant kill you are buffs on the Hassans. In other words, they can be dispelled. Whos' a caster who dispels buffs with a single target NP? Oh, right, Medea. Just bring her, Mash, and a caster with an AOE NP, and you can probably figure out the rest. If you don't have Medea leveled and don't want to go through the effort, you could also cheese the instant-kills with Guts. Paracelsus is a good choice for that, or Caster Cu. This is basically a playground for all the random 3* casters. Heck, bring Gilles if you like. Sure as gently caress nobody else is going to. Passionlip is also a good choice, if you rolled her during CCC. this is all i feel like writing for now, i'll do the other 4 quests later. tbh im 50/50 just doing this so people playing the na version can reply with 'what the gently caress'

I prefer Medusa in her original gear to the....swimsuit....suspenders....thing, but while I can change the icon and the sprite, the main card, and the resulting images on the mission screen, remain. Also yeah, sounds like the power creep is real for those to be your challenge quests. Yet, I can imagine the kinds of JP teams I see on youtube challenge runs to be able to handle it.

So, I'm 15 days in. Things have gotten significantly better. When I began this trek, I pulled what was perhaps the worst possible combination of opening cards: Marie Antoinette for my 4*, and only Boudica for another servant in my opening pack. As you can imagine, the game is substantially more difficult when you're low level with that line up. Thankfully, things got better. Marie improves substantially once you get her second skill, and she becomes a regenerating invincible tank. Boudica becomes substantially when you feed her to St. Martha. Getting a decent stable of 2-3*s (Robin Hood, Cu Cuchulain, Medea, Kiyohime, Hassan, Hans), also helped. And then, using my time on a plane ride over the weekend as an excuse to level myself up to 45 via the discount costed missions has allowed me to level up a great number of them into the 30s and 40s. Yes, the game has gotten a lot better since its inauspicious start. Perhaps I should have rerolled, but who cares now? The only thing I'm puzzled about is what to do with my third 4*: I cannot seem to build an effective team around Lancelot. I've read strategy online, but perhaps I'm just not getting the playstyle correct? He's currently level 42, while she is only level 40 and his higher stats that Kiyohime, so he should play better than she does. Any advice there?

Put Georgios to tank since Lancelot has jack poo poo for defense and pair him with a Hassan for crit generation. Get fous from the shop and feed him.

Toph Bei Fong posted:
Lancelot works well with teammates that can give him Crit stars to use to obliterate the enemy once ever 7-5 turns (depending on skill investment). Hassan and Hans both make good team mates for him. Hassan for generating the crit stars, and Hans for increasing Crit damage, giving him a bit more crit stars, and his NP buffs him both offensive, defensively, and heals him. Very important for a Berserker. Edit: ^ George makes a Very Good Teammate for any Berserker due to being able to hold aggro too.

Also give him a CE that either increases Buster when you have him whack enemies really hard with his chain or increase stargen if you are having him use his NP a lot
