Pureauthor posted:ka-kin ka-ching You'll have to forgive any mistakes here because I'm a dumb liberal arts major, but I believe that on average, it would take 500 spins of the Gacha to get 5x of a 5* Servant (assuming you were cursed to only draw a particular 5*). This would cost $880 dollars using the most cost-efficient purchase in the store. And that just gives you the opportunity to start acquiring Blank Saint Graphs. Again, assuming you were cursed to only draw a particular 5*, getting 91 BSG after this point would take 9,100 rolls on average, or 27,300 Saint Quartz, or $15,600 dollars. You could buy a loving car. In real terms it would naturally take much more than that, since your odds of drawing any particular 5* Servant are only 1/5. You'd inevitably max out most of your 5* Servants before you really started getting Blank Saint Graphs in sizeable numbers. And this is from the JPN server, where there are many more 5* Servants than on NA--your odds of drawing duplicates of a Servant you already have 5 duplicates of are much lower there. We're talking down payment on a house, here. At least you can say this is the worst it can possibly get--

Tae posted:Fate/Zero makes Stay/Night really idealistic and kiddy-pool. Zero and the new anime goes into what actually happens when adults are very willing to kill each other. Specifically, the reason Stay/Night's Masters are such a mishmash is that, after the genocidal clusterfuck of Zero, very few real magi are ready to risk it. Definitely read Stay/Night before watching Zero though. It spoils a lot of Stay/Night, as you would expect from a prequel, but it also expects viewers to know a few key worldbuilding points from Stay/Night.

The routes are thematic and build off of each other, so watching UBW without following it up with Heaven's Feel leaves you with a much different impression. There isn't a good adaptation of Fate either, which is the end of Saber's story from Fate/Zero.

The only time I watch anime is when I am stuck in bed sick and that time it was a long one so I watched both UBW and Zero - after that, and hearing that Heaven's Feel would be released, I figured that I would skip it too since I knew too much of the plot to have it be as interesting - like I'm sure the plot twists are awesome playing the game blind but knowing what I did already, playing a game with no gameplay and knowing a lot of what would happen just wasn't appealing Never watch Zero first, it just spoils too drat much. e: No one is ever gonna get to enjoy the first twist in Fate ever again. "Wait, she WASN'T Joan of Arc??"  Gilles mistaking Saber for Jeanne in Fate/Zero was a reference to this BTW, before the game came out all the speculation agreed that that is who she was.

rio posted:I have three notable zerkers at the moment - Herc, Tamocat and Lancelot. I assume that long term Herc is the best but between the other two who is better? I have Tamo and Herc at 40 waiting to be awakened and I left Lancelot behind in the early 20's because he seemed underwhelming but maybe I am missing something. If you haven't invested any money at all yet and you're only in Rome, I'd reroll until you get at least one 5*. Especially if you like one of them (like Gil). After this month they will stop giving away free gems to new accounts, so this is pretty much the only time to reroll. Also, people are giving away 5* accounts on Reddit/4chan still because people are holding out for Waver+Gilgamesh. Lancelot's gimmick is that he has great synergy with crit-based teams, especially with (amusingly) Gilgamesh. His first skill increases the chances of his cards getting crit stars, so if the rest of the team is generating stars for him he can poo poo out massive damage. His NP is also Quick-based, is AOE and absolutely drenches the team in Crit stars if combined with his second skill. You can get over 50 stars with an NP and two Gil Quicks, which means every one of your cards has 100% chance to crit next turn. It's cuh-razy. But he's Berserker squishy and doesn't have Herc's Evade or his special Bond CE that gives him Guts, so he isn't 100% reliable. Vengarr fucked around with this message at 05:43 on Jul 12, 2017 |

If any of you want to reroll (or start playing), now is your  LAST BEST CHANCE to do so.According to the latest news post, Aniplex messed up the dates listed for the free 4* Servant event on their Facebook page. They're going to hand out tickets again starting the 20th for those that never received one as an apology. This means you can roll up an account with Gilgamesh and/or Waver (or whatever 5* waifu strikes your fancy) and still get that sweet free 4* Heracles/Emiya/Waifu. Gil is going away on the 20th so you need to start now if you want him. Pureauthor posted:AFAIK it just checks the ten rolls you make and if none of them hit 4* status is just converts a card to a 4* CE. So no, the chance to roll a rateup Servant is pretty much the same. The consolation prize can be a 4* Servant too, it's just 4 times more likely to be a CE due to the relative rates (3% chance for a Servant, 12% chance for a CE).

Bad Seafood posted:Is there any point to upgrading CEs other than increasing the amount of attack or hit points they give the equipped servant? If you feed a CE a copy of itself its max level increases, do that four times and its base effect improves. This can make some 3* CEs actually decent, like Dragon Meridian (you start with 50% NP instead of 30%) or Grimoire. That's it really. Although the stat boosts from a max-level 5* CE can be considerable, so its worth upgrading them. A max-level Kaleidoscope boosts Attack by 2,000 points. (You will never get a max-level Kaleidoscope) Azoth Blade and Black Keys will always suck. Their only use is to feed other CEs or be burned for Prisms.

Neopie posted:Tried to get gil, got Altera instead, Any good? Who's she go with? She's got very high stats and she plays well as a damage-dealer on just about any team. Her NP is an AOE Buster, but unlike Altria it's still useful for bosses because it applies a -DEF debuff as well. She can boost the parties' NP damage which is situationally very useful, and she's got a self-heal and a self-buff skill. She even gets an interlude that buffs her second skill to increase Crit Star absorption, which makes her even stronger on teams that generate a lot of stars. There's almost no way to play her wrong apart from sending her against a horde of Archers. Also she's Chaotic Good and will not rest until the bad civilizations are gone.

the_steve posted:Which is even funnier since Lancer is his favorite class. They make a point in the original VN that he's a lot stronger when he isn't fighting one-on-one duels to the death. His skillset is actually more suited for more prolonged hit-and-run battles, but he really enjoys one-on-one duels. So that's what he does. Having the lance sealed actually forces him to play more to his strengths, his whining nonwithstanding. Vengarr fucked around with this message at 01:25 on Jul 24, 2017 |

The reason to limit break it is for the added stats. 2k HP at max level isn't gamebreaking but it's nothing to sneeze at, especially since you're probably putting it on someone with survivability issues.

The Throne of Heroes and Heroic Spirits are a naturally-occurring phenomenon that sometimes get used for various purposes. The Earth (aka Gaia, or Alaya) uses whatever Heroic Spirits it can as Counter-Guardians to protect itself against the depredations of humanity, but the Earth doesn't run the Throne of Heroes or anything. That being said, most of the heroes in the Throne are human spirits. If the Earth summons them to defend it against an outside threat, they'd probably respond. Emiya's situation is complicated. He apparently struck a deal with the Earth where the Earth would lend him the power of the Counter-Force (an energy source borne of humanities will to avoid extinction) to stop a potentially world-ending catastrophe (a nuclear meltdown). Stopping the meltdown got him recognized as a true hero, which meant he would enter the Throne and then become a Counter-Guardian for Alaya after death. A lot of the confusion regarding Heroic Spirits is intentional. They explain Heroic Spirits like three or four times in Fate/Stay Night and each time the explanation changes because all the original creators of the Grail are dead and/or crazy, and the only sane mage in the series is a goof who got all of her information secondhand. Mages not knowing what is up while meddling with stuff wayyyyy above their paygrade is a running theme in the Nasuverse.

To add, one of the enduring rules of the Nasuverse is that power makes its own rules. I haven't spoiled myself on the story but I'm guessing Chaldea and (YourName) are being juiced by something big, maybe its own Greater Grail, to be able to let it break the rules so flagrantly.
