I sent a request as well, from Edwara. My only real notable servant is a level 100 Cu Alter, but I have a few others that might be handy.

I know i'm stating the obvious, but Saber Lancelot is insane.

I managed to get him at NP2 on his banner. I've been waiting for a good chance to use him because he just looks so fun to use.

Speaking of Loserlot, which of his skills is best to max out first? I've managed to farm up a modest bit of medals.

As far as I've heard, the best order is Knight of Owner, then Knight of the Lake, then Eternal Arms Mastery since it works well enough at rank 1 on him.

Where’d you hear that? I was under the impression that mages who reached the root simply disappeared with no explanation, and that True Magic had nothing to do with it.

Touching the root after you've reached it makes you disappear. Reaching it but not touching it gives you true magic.

i threw a summoning ticket at the story banner and got lalter a couple days ago, so you can get cool stuff it's just rarer.

Honestly there's no problem with rolling on the story banner, as long as you're aware of what you're getting into and how to set your expectations. I feel like 'Don't roll on the story banner' is a warning to newcomers who might not be aware of what they're getting into yet.

Who are some good servants that go well with Tamamo? I'm currently playing around with Medea and EMIYA

Vlad goes particularly well with her, for a specific recommendation beyond just 'Anyone with an arts CE'.

He really wants to fire off his NP as much as possible, and Tamamo has a few ways to help with that (reducing the cooldown on Vampirism, and her NP just directly charges his, also arts effectiveness means increased NP generation). She also provides healing, to help offset Berserker squishiness.

So if you feed a servant that is full of XP to another servant, it's just as if they've been fed the whole lot of cards? Or is there some conversion loss?

There's some loss, but you get to keep a good portion of it. I forget the exact percentage.

A quick test says that a level 1 off-type 5* servant is worth 15,000 xp, a level 80 FA off-type 5* servant (aka a 8,532,000 xp investment) is worth 15,790 xp.

Servants don't get carried XP like craft essences do and the conversion rate is beyond awful, don't do it.

Guess I was wrong then!

Thank you for correcting me.

Since we're stuck in maintenance for a bit, why does everyone hate Waver so much? I tried looking at the reddit (huge mistake) and it's wall to wall screeds about how Waver is the worst and using him makes you a terrible monster on par with Pol Pot.

He seems pretty cool to me. He flicks cigarette butts at enemies making them explode. He says what sounds like "What up" when attacking. Oh and his buffs/NP boosting are nice too.

I'm not sure where you read that at... he's generally considered one of the best supports in the game, and certainly the most generalist one.

I mean, there's the recurring joke that he's overworked which exists because he's so generally useful. I don't really recall anyone disliking him though?

Is it OK to post about finally getting a bond 10 servant here?



Only 6/10/6 but that's because I have no snek jewels or void dust. He is grailed out to 100 and has as many fous as I can give him for now though.

I've only twice intentionally rolled for specific servants, every other one I have has just been randomly rolling with no intention or desire.

The two are Saberlot (who I have at NP2) and now Merlin.

Last roll for the banner, last 30 SQ;



I've been so absurdly lucky with SSRs since I've started. I have 10 now and I started about 9 months ago.

Unfortunately, Merlin just ate all my gears and hearts last month so I won't be able to level her up for a while but once I can.

so is this the end for Musashi's availability? I really fell in love with her character in the event story and I'm gonna be sad to lose a chance at her.

She should have another banner in... 8 or 9 months? Alongside Tomoe Gozen, iirc.

39 turns... but I'm a cheesy wimp who used dual merlin (and cu alter).

But the last summoning ticket from it got me Dantes, so clearly Merlin favors me and approves of my use of two of him.

One of FGO's biggest failings as a game is definitely locking new players out of so many of the welfares once the Event is rerun.

Agreed. I wish they'd let you buy them from the RP shop or something. Or, honestly, just let you pay something to unlock the event permanently.

Same here, I have no Evil Sabers or Archers at all and only Liz (and on second glance, Li Shuwen) for lancers.

Personally I'm just a coward and don't care.

That said I'm in the same boat. No evil sabers, and only Liz for an evil lancer and she's not even leveled up.

Since I'm actually using some 3* servants on my NA account, I find that Euryale is quite good! Lots of enemies are male, and she can use her NP frequently with an arts team (and I have Tamamo, so I can create a good team for arts and recharging her skills). She's also my first fully-ascended servant on this account; even though I grinded all the mats from the last two events, I had bad luck with my 5*s needing ascension mats from neither event (Dante, Tamamo, and Ozymandias in this case).

3* and some 2* and even 1* servants are overlooked. Without going into much detail, Ushiwakamaru, Cu Chulainn, Billy the Kid, George and Hans are all super good in their niches and worth levelling. There are lots of others, other than just this group. It's worth reading up on them.

I dont think Im going to beeline through the story stuff too quickly. It starts off pretty serious but just playing the first 2 event things tells me theres lots of goofy humor hidden in this and I dont want to miss it. :v:

I added you as Edwhirl.

As they said, a maxed out Cuzilla is great and that's honestly probably my best servant. I even grailled him out to 100.

I grailed Cu Alter to 100 because he was my first SSR.

He's also good mechanically but I grailed him for being the first SSR I got.

I also grailed FSN Cu to 80, Saberlot to 90, and am currently grailing LAlter up to 100.

saber sounds better, blademaster would have been really clunky to use as the main heroine's name. thats its purpose. its a name first. it also has the 'dual' meaning with 'saver,' due to the japanese v/b thing. saber's the best possible name.

Saber is also actually just a legit real name, so also it works there.

Imagine how awkward it would be to go around calling someone 'Blademaster!' all the time.

I only managed 22, but that's enough for me for now. Even if I didn't manage to hit my goal of getting my Ozy to 10/10/10. I've got the mats now, just not the QP and at half AP for door quests soon I think I can manage that easily enough.

Grails:
Cu Alter to 100
Cu to 80
LAlter and Saberlot to 90.

That is all for now. I'm trying to pick a new grail target, though it will most likely just be getting someone to 90, instead of an SSR to 100.

I like all my servants except gilles so I like to share the wealth around.
