Disappointing! Oh well.

I just recently started playing the game so I can't easily farm Vlad or Tamamo Cat so I'll give up on getting the CE's and just make sure I have the extra copies of Halloween Liz and all the ascension candy for her.

I'm sure there's someone in this thread with a Kaleidoscope Lancelot/Gilgamesh/Attila/etc that would be willing to help you out. A good high level 5* can easily deal with the 30/40 AP

Does Halloween Liz really only need four event candies to fully-ascend?

Yes, one for each Ascension. It is incredibly easy to get everything you need to both fully Ascend her and max out her Noble Phantasm.

Assuming the thing you're having trouble with is the boss berserkers, rather than all these fancy gold supports, one thing you could try is finding a max ascension (70 for him) Robin. Save his sabotage debuff for the boss and then whack it with his noble phantasm and it'll do massive damage against a Berserker.



Now granted you probably won't get THAT high, but Robin will take a huge chunk out of Vlad or Cat's health with his poison+NP combo. The buffs he's got going in that are Noble Phantasm Level 4 (1425% base damage), a +40% Arts command Boost (His NP is Arts), +50% Attack from Master Enhancement, +15% NP Damage from his CE, and +225% damage for 300% Overcharge vs a Poisoned Target.


That said, if you really did just start playing within the last couple weeks, find yourself a max ascended Jeanne (90) and use her to farm 30 and 40AP hands, it'll be slow going but she can practically solo them due to her tankiness and healing ability. Support Jeanne was a crutch I leaned heavily on early on.

Awww that's nice of them. I would have thought that for a free 4* they'd require you to move heaven and earth to ascend but I guess they need to counteract the salt mines of the gacha. :v:

Well I just got 2 halloween princesses as drops. This event is treating me well.

Looking ahead, a limit broken halloween princess seems pretty awesome. I'm probably going to use it as part of my regular setup once the event is over.

yeah shes just for np basically. keep in mind casters have a -10% damage penalty and unlike assassins dont generate tons of crit stars, so their basic attacks are almost uniformly useless.

I've heard something like 0.2 on free vlad, 0.8 on one-time quests. So still crazy low either way.

Really does seem like after getting your CE drops, you never want to spend AP on anything but the 40 AP. There's a case to be made for 20 AP with a full set of Halloween Princess, if all you want are Sweet Candles... however, in my experience, you'll get more than enough to clear out the shop while doing 40 AP regardless.

I only mentioned I was having trouble and about five people walked up to rub their Servants all over my face.

I started playing a little while before the event dropped. I had to rush through Orleans to qualify for it, in fact. I'm only level 32 with mid-twenties levels on my useful servants. I was feeling skeptical that even a max-level support would carry my team that hard, but if you think it will, then sure, I'll give it a shot.

If you do all the guerrilla and party quests with appropriate CEs it should give you almost enough pumpkins, bats and cupcakes to clear the shop but barely any candles, so the argument for doing the 20AP is pretty good.

Most events can be completed with a fresh account and good friends. I did Halloween, KnK, Fate/Zero and the Summer Event on completely fresh accounts (since I rerolled for the gacha servants at the time) and I never had a problem doing every mission and cleaning out most if not all of the shop.
Even though normally you wouldn't do that you could also go for the Xp essences before going for ascension mats in the shop, so you can boost up your NP5 Liz you got from the event.

The idea that we'll probably be getting Saber Wars in early December, for the Star Wars premiere, and then later on getting the Christmas event too is daunting. That's too many events for one month wallet.

They usually do one event a month, so it will probably be more spread out than that.

I haven't hit this event near as hard as most of you so far (time limitations), not sure if I'm on pace to get all the store stuff but should definitely be able to get a good portion.
