No more so than they are now. I'd possibly even argue they get better in future free quests, as the scrub enemy types get more and more HP but don't really get higher death resistance.

Also story quests get a lot more bulky mobs.

Skadi is actually a terrible bandaid for quick.

Because of the fact she makes quick so crazy good, they might never do proper improvement fixes for Quick because that’d make Skadi hyper Merlin.

Near every Quick based Servant post Merlin has on paper OP stats and skill wise compared to Arts and Buster Servants with only the weaknesses of Quick keeping them from snapping the game wide open.

That's pretty clearly how they've decided to "fix" Quick, don't mess with the attack type itself just overtune any Servant that relies on it.

The thing about Arts focused team is that while Tamamo is their 'defining' Arts Supporter comparable to Merlin and Skadi, Arts team are much more viable to people not willing to shell out fat cash on limited 5* Servents because of just how many good Arts supporters there are that aren't especially hard to get.

I mean for non-5* Buster support you have... what? Shakespeare and Leonidas? For Quick it's only Alexander and Atalante, but for Arts you have Mash, Mozart, Hans, Paracelsus, Helena, and CasGil.

I wouldn't call Mash, Hans, or Helena "Arts" Support. They can be good supports for Arts teams but all of them are flexible enough to go on near any team.

Granted, since they all have Arts decks and NPs they're easy to just slot into an Arts team.

out of all those i'd probably say mash fits arts more than most since she has a stall-oriented kit and stacks with the typical arts team defense shenanigans. hans is more splashable as a crit support but of course caster decks will always help arts do their chains disproportionately more, and arts crit is a specific arts flavor that has support as well.

helena is very much an agnostic support, though i dunno why you'd run her in quick

Helena's kit is very splashable, you've got NP Charge, some Star Gen, and Card Buffs. She's a jack of all trades support.

I just threw the monthly tickets at the Da Vinci banner and drew my first 4-star Caster!

It's Gilgamesh. Can I have some advice for using him, please?

He's an Arts support support mostly. Pair him up with any sort of offensive Arts based Servant. He does well with crit servants too since he has a stargen buff. So any sort of Arts based archer is good, or if you have like Lancelot or Li Shuwen. His Noble Phantasm will make a ton of stars.

My luck is very weird. I'm now the proud owner of Medea Lily, Nitocris and NP2 Salter.

Is there anything I should know about the care and feeding of my new friends?

Nitocris is one of the best farm Servants in the game. She has of the best instant death attacks and a button that once you get her skilled up enough let's her NP on demand.

Medea Lilly is arguably the best pure healer in the game. Which is nice but you'll need other defensive supports because FGO places more priority on mitigating damage rather than healing it.

Saber Alter, especially NP2, will hit stupid hard with Excalibur Morgan. She has one of the highest raw AOE NP damage in the game

Goddrat the fight with evade-spamming Avengerized Lobo was a pain in the rear end to do while sticking to a 5x evil team. Shout out to Sodium Chloride's grailed Cu Alter, borrowing him instead of dragging along a Lunchtime support to try and wring as much bp out of this as possible was what finally let me scrape the win.

Tip for later people feeling this fight. Ignore Invincible also ignores evasion, and everybody playing now just got a CE that grants it from the Valentines event.

Charm and stun are the same except for obvious cases like servants or CEs having resistance to one of the two, or that charm is often limited

I feel like what they were originally going for was that stuns would be universal but more difficult while Charms had conditionals but were more reliable.

Like many aspects of Early FGO, this didn't work out.

When's the next okita banner after this? Kinda want her for collection purposes but I already have a Musashi and Saberlot for ST sabers, so I don't really want to burn quartz right now
In JP there was one for a convention (that will probably be repurposed) that appeared in September of this game's year, and then she'll be on rate up again a few weeks before the third Gudaguda event.

Not exactly a common Servant, other than those rate ups she appears on paid Gachas that have limited Servants.

So I'm looking at CEs, and isn't the 4* CE from the Chaldea Boys' event "Noisy Obsession" objectively superior to the 5* "GUDA-O" from this event? They seem to give identical stats (+20% crit damage and +20% NP strength limit broken), except "Noisy Obsession" also gives 15% increased charm chance.

Guda-O has better stats and being a shop CE is infinitely easier to MLB.

Been running an Ishtar/Spartacus/Fran frontline with the Mage's Association outfit and she's consistently been wiping 2/3 of the first wave and leaving Caesar barely clinging to life for normal cards to handle.
