Oh neat, I got Tamamo Cat and Carmilla from the tutorial 10-roll! I didn't even realize you could get a second 4-star from that, but I'm not complaining.

It's RNG, baby.

I rolled a bunch of 5-stars during the CCC event using about 20 tickets.

I'm jealous, my last 30 or so tickets have been nothing but 3-stars. Not even a 4-star CE to comfort my loss. :negative:

Does overflow AP ever max out, or can you just gain loads of master levels at once and end up with ten times your normal maximum?

The latter. I think I ended up breaking 700 AP when I started out on the JPN server, if not more.

But I think I read that if you gain more than one level at once, you only get one level's equivalent of AP? Not sure if that's still true or if it's old news, however.

I'd love a Waver (but who wouldn't) but I'm very happy with my Jeanne, she's been fairly easy to build around so far. I definitely want to try for Gil assuming that's out first. I'd love to try for Saber Alter but I just don't know how that'll go with the current pool. I might just hope I get her during Gil's rateup somehow.

Unfortunately, Saber Alter is a story-locked servant, which means you can't roll her unless you roll on the default story gacha or she's specifically part of the rate-up, and I don't believe Saber Alter was in Gil's particular rate-up.

At first I was turned off by Dantes' art, but then I saw his animations and heard his laughter and started to like him. After realizing he was the dorky kind of edgy and reading some of his story/dialogue, he became one of my favorite husbands to come out of Grand Order.

Casters definitely have it worst; I think every Caster currently in the game requires Forbidden Pages. Almost every Rider is out too, because Horseshoes.

Speaking of Riders, is Teach actually in the gatcha right now? I've just realised I don't have him and I haven't seen anyone mention him since the NA release. Might he be on hold until Okeanos, like Euryale is?

Teach is in, a friend of mine is using him atm.

Poverty servant? You mean she's a free drop and not Gacha bait?

Yes, several Events will give a free 4-star, and by participating in the event and/or farming drops, you can get them fully ascended and to NP 5 as well. Kuro is one of these free 4-stars, among others.

what does it give anyways?

Rank 6-9 each give Quartz (1 for 1-3 Stars, 2 for 4-stars, 3 for 5-stars), Rank 10 gives a unique CE for that servant.

Edit: Ah, yeah, I'm wrong for 1 and 2 stars. 1 stars give a Golden Apple for Bond 6-8, 2 stars give a Golden Apple for Bond 6-7.

So, if I save my summon tickets, they'll work on then next gatcha event, right? Will it be worth saving for the next gatcha event?

Yes, tickets don't expire, so you can save them for as long as you like. As for whether or not the next rate-up/event is worth, that depends on your tastes. Most likely we're next going to get the Nero Festival event sometime after Gilgamesh, which has Altera/Attila the Hun and Nero as part of the rate-up.

Level them up with themselves. You can also tell how many duplicates you've fed into your CE by the four star-shaped icons when you go to enhance them.

genericnick posted:

Another stupid beginner question: What do you do with low level servants? And is there anywhere in the strengthening menu that shows the NP level? Because there seems to be no warning when you accidentally feed your NP level 5 1 star to another one for XP.

If you already have NP 5 of a Servant, any more duplicates are just for burning. No, there isn't anywhere in the XP Strengthening screen that shows NP level, which can get frustrating. However, if you go to a Servant's profile, you have the option to Lock them on the left side of the screen, which prevents you from burning or feeding them. You can also Lock CEs as well.

Reddit says her skills are:

1) NP charge and if 50% HP or less gain NP gen up (3 turns)
2) Attack up (3 turns) Defense up (3 turns) and ignore classes (3 turns)
3) Ally Guts (1 time, 3 turns) and def up (3 turns)

I can't read Japanese, so I'll take their word for it :v:

Edit: After using it, her 3rd skill appears to give ATK up and not defense up.

Okeanos is Drake, Anne & Bonny, David, Euryale and Hector. Iksander on the other hand is not actually in Okeanos, and comes in the later Fate/Zero event.

Nyeehg posted:

On that note, is it worth bothering to level up both Artorias or should I just focus on one for now? From what I can see Artoria has better stats and skills but Saber Alters Noble Phantasm is much stronger.

While I'll agree with everyone here stating that if you have to pick one, Artoria Alter is the better investment at this point especially since she peaks earlier because of her S-stat curve, I felt the need to point out that at max level their NPs actually do roughly the same damage at NP1. (assuming no Grails, that is.) Artoria Alter has a 450% damage modifier on her NP, but OG Saber has a 400% damage modifier after Interlude and a higher attack stat, so it evens out in the end.

Pulling from this, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Wc80dpN8-OwH_wf-wrV5zb79d4Smy-WQxkIP1YABPE8/edit#gid=0, OG Saber does 29851 damage on average, and Artoria Alter does 29337.

E: Not related, but apparently Saber Lily does less damage at NP5 than Artoria Alter does at NP1, which is just... depressing, to say the least.

Stuff like that is basically equivalent of the Challenge levels PAD has right? For the very lucky or megawhale optimal teams?

Nah, good team composition goes a long way. I beat that quest with Euryale (3 star), BB (free 4 Star from CCC event), and Support Tamamo. In other words, it required no real investment on my part other than having a Tamamo on my friend list. Did have to spend a Command Seal since I was getting horribly unlucky with Arts Chains though.

I just used Mashu/Bryn/Leonidas with backrow Nero Caster, Cu, and Support Herc with Bond CE, and it was still pretty straightforward without Iri despite my team being fairly sub-optimal as well. Just focus on mitigating damage between Arash NP turns, whether that be through defense buffs or splitting the damage with taunts, and Arash will take care of himself from there.

Poor Spartacus, more like Poor Vlad, 5* Berserker that deals the second lowest single target damage!

Probably because Vlad's NP does lower damage than the norm for Arts NP for some reason (600% vs. 900%), and even after his Interlude in London it just puts him back up to the standard 900%.
