Too bad that it's on a 6K max health berserker with no defensive skills, so you're probably only gonna get one turn to use it.

Seriously though I think she'd have good Synergy with Leondias on a Buster based team.

Isn't Lancelot also good on a crit based team due to his NP generating absurd amounts of Crit Stars?

I think you're mistaking the things that enthusiasts like us care about for things that their wider paying audience care about. If the game's going to be financially successful then it'll be off the back of people whose only experience of Fate - if any - is Zero or the UBW anime. "Will NA get this one collaboration event with characters I've never heard of" is not going to be something they care about, if they're even aware it's a question at all. It doesn't make a lot of sense for Aniplex to prioritise it.

Wouldn't this be the other way around though?

Mobile games are usually primarily supported off the backs of a handful of big spenders with lots of money. These sorts of people are the Hardcore fans, so getting in those more obscure characters is important because that's what will inspire the Whales.

Honestly the moment I heard about them being at Otakon I knew that they were holding back info for then.

I've been taking it slow and just finished Rome, plus I still have all the Free Quests to spend AP on.

I have a 37/80 Limited/Zero Over that I stumbled into before I thought to check to see if there was a thread. Its... good right?

It's the biggest buff to Buster Cards in a CE in the game even in JP (Later Buster Buffs are smaller, but come with other effects) so it's good with any Buster based Servant.

Speaking of... is Imaginary Around straight-up better than Be Elegant the same way that Formalcraft is straight-up better than Divine Banquet?

I would imagine so, but Crit Stars drop rates seem a little funky.

They're actually fairly different in effect.

Be Elegant increases Crit Star drop rates, which applies to every hit the Servant does, technically. It's just that quick cards have the biggest chance of it. So sticking it on, say, Gilgamesh, would still be good because every single one of his attacks has 5 hits. (Which is actually amusingly ironic).

On the other hand, Imaginary Around increases Quick Card Performance. This means that Quick Cards will do more damage, more NP generation, and have a higher Crit Star chance.

I'm lucky that for the most part most of the mats are meh, having 90+ atm means that I likely don't need them for anything soon, though I should investigate what Rider Rin needs.

If you mean the Swimsuit Ishtar, as a Free Servant given out for an event her ascension materials are unique and handed out with the event you get her in.

The Vlad who drank peoples' blood is strictly an invention. Rin even says something like "poo poo, they'll let anyone be a Heroic Spirit nowadays."

It's more like thanks to people associating "Dracula" with vampires the Heroic Spirit Vlad III gained a sort Noble Phantasm "Legend of Dracula" which gives him traits of a vampire. (Not Dead Apostle.)

Notably he'll only willingly use it when summoned as a Berserker.

as the game goes on you can and will have exp more as the problem than mats. i have 60-70 statues/monuments of every type and at least 2 dozen of every single ascension mat in the game in jp version, but leveling all these characters up is still a giant chore. anything above level 58ish takes about 10 gold exp cards, and anything above level 74ish takes about 20ish. per level

I'm honestly baffled they haven't introduced 5 Star EXP cards yet.

You have no idea how sad I was when doing JPFGO when rolling on the Summer Banner, really wanting Medjed Nitocris. Seeing the Assassin Card pop up, get excited, and then see it was Stheno.

Speaking of that, are there any lucky JP players with a Support Merlin available in this thread, started a JP account just as this event was starting, and want to use Mash and Merlin to try and Cheese through the fights so I can upgrade Rider Ishtar's NP.

Buster Arts Arts will do more damage. Starting with a buster causes the arts cards to do more damage.

Yeah I knew that. I just wanted to know if the higher damage multiplier for a Buster card on the final hit will do more damage then the damage bonus added onto the Arts cards.

Like, assume this isn't a Brave Chain. Is the bonus from having the first card be Buster big enough.
