What a fascinatingly unusual cock. Now, allow me to show you my collection...
I just started this game, and I'm halfway through Rome with my friends Saber Lily carrying me across the tough content. So far, I've had about 4-5 full pulls, and I only have one 4* Servant (Marie Antoinette, but she's really adorable in the France segment), and I just pulled my first 5*, an Essence called 'The Black Grail'.

At 4*, besides Marie Antoinette, I only have Essences: Moony Jewel (Though this is enhanced 3 times), Seal Designation Enforcer, Angel's Song, Verdant Sound of Destruction, Projection and Primeval Curse.

I also have at 3*: Medea, Kiyohime, Cu Chulainn (Prototype), Mash and Jing Ke.

I was also really sad when the director got murked. She seemed like she was cool and my friend.

Where should I go from here? Is there stuff I should be doing daily? Why is Guillotine Breaker so cute?

Clear daily quests for Mana Prisms, EXP cards to level up your Servants, and get QP points so you're able to do any leveling at all. Clear free quests that are on the story maps to get free quartz and if your bond level is high enough with some Servants, check to see if their Interlude Quest unlocked so you can get a free quartz to complete it. And by doing all these things, you'll get more FP, Master EXP to get more AP and so on and so forth, you can just read the second post in the OP.

Vive la France.

Today is waver day, time to try a ten roll for Salter, and possibly Waver on that minuscule chance.

Got Salter on the second card. Only one black key.

Any reason to keep more than one Seal designation enforcer (600% C star gather)?

Sadly Salter will need to wait for Altera to get full ascension, but she's a very nice pick.

You might accumulate enough to max limit break some day and between the 300 CE slots, Second Archives, and the very small amount of stuff you get for burning 5* CE's I'd say keep any extras you have.

I mean, I probably don't need two or more copies sitting around, since the very purpose seems to be opposed to using two at once. Should I just start towards max limit break now? I definitely wasn't going to burn it though.

I got a Black Grail on my second bad idea pull and that's it. 20 rolls down the hole. Still no 5 star servant. They don't exist.

I do have like one of every CE though.

Last question, how do I make Marie as swole as possible so she can vive the gently caress out of la france? I hear she is bad but she is just so happy to be here

Marie's not great but she's fine. She doesn't die.

Get her to the level cap and you can spend Grails on her, limited stock items that can increase any servant's level cap. Each grail increases the servant's level cap by 5, except when you get to 90, at which point they only increase it by 2 each. The hard cap is level 100. There are 3 grails in the game currently, one for each story chapter, so you could grail Marie up to level 92. New grails are gained from new story chapters and from major events - it'll probably be around early next year before there's enough Grails in the game to get Marie to level 100. Grails are pretty much the ultimate way of declaring to the world that a servant is your favorite.

Sure, you could do that. I don't think there will be any times where you'd want 2 Bazett CEs at the same time.

Hoping for Waver, Kintoki, or SAlter from the pulls and got 2 of them. Still missing Waver. I have a Vlad and Nero that I want to finish ascending first before I pour resources into developing those two however.

If you have more than one servant in your support slots that would get good use out of that CE, then that's one reason to keep multiple I guess

Threw a ticket at waver and pulled...Jeanne? I mean cool but I'm dudes only. Threw 20 more rolls and got nothing except 1 kaliedo which is cool.

Anyone have the problem I do this week where the master missions are invisible in the list until you complete them?

Alright, as I said and promised, I spent 5 tickets and 1 ten roll, hoping to get Waver. I got another Heracles (fantastic, I love him) and two Black Grails, as well as 2 runestones and 1 Taiga Sure Hit card. It's not Waver, but hell, I'll take it. I consider myself pretty fortunate with this roll, as in my earlier spending splurge on Gilgamesh there was at least 1 roll where it was basically just Black Keys all the way. Compared to that, anything else is gravy.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.
7 Jeannes and 3 Jacks, before I got ONE Gorgon. :shepface:


I'll throw this last 90 quartz at her devoted girlfriend, Brynhildr, instead.

Endorph posted:

Pretty much. She's like Jeanne or George. They are good at what they do, but the boss and battle design has been changing to focus on burning the enemy down as fast as possible, so purely defensive Servants aren't viewed as favorably as they were early on in the game's life.

Okay, i have to ask; what makes you say this? The game as of EoR has added an explicit mechanic to make sure battles take x many turns no matter what and boss HP numbers have been ballooning to the point where challenge bosses now can have 3m hp, to say nothing of enemies with powerful defensive gimmicks. Defensive strategies have been more important than ever in my game, and I have no idea how you one round later bosses short of having thrown so much money that you can Jalter Waver Merlin.

For my part, I used a buddy Marie on the first fight of the final boss and her healing made it a lot more possible. I still frequently use Mash on harder fights because doing enough damage before I run out of health is a persistent problem.

If anything, later down the line, stall teams are more important. You will want your boss killers, but Servants that keep your party alive are really essential.

I spent this month's summon tickets on Waver day and got nothing but 3* CEs, so I tried a 10 roll and ended up with Kintoki. :toot: Sorry Herc, someone else just got dibs on all our future octuplet crystals.

Don't you think you should put more thought into your battleplan?!


I fell to temptation and used a ticket "Worst I'll get is a stupid CE" I thought. Oh boy, a servant! Gilles Saber. :negative:

Oh well, at least it was only one ticket and it fed the gatcha urge for a bit.

I'm really glad I rolled Jeanne. Sure she may be kind of power-creeped later, but always having the option to have an "Ignore Enemy Noble Phantasm" button is useful*

*Except for when there are fights that ignore invincibility. :gonk:

This game's gacha is particularly nasty. Not only are the SR/SSR rates really low, but also there's a lot of useless equipment in there too. Doing a multisummon and mostly getting items never feels good.
