Finally got around to playing this today. Still getting used to some stuff but overall it is proving to be a lot of fun.

On a story note it is kind of messed up what happened to the director.

So is there any particular logic for picking up characters besides saving up for a 10 roll?

Is there any point in doing the daily event quest over the ember gathering quests?

So are any good servants hidden behind completing the main quests? I am half way or so through Rome and want to know if there is any hero I should be trying to save up for.

From a story perspective I do like who they have as the final fight for the Rome segment.

This is pretty laughable, Herc is unbelievably good and will steamroll all story content currently available and then some. Even before you ascend him and he gets his bullshit dodge skill.


The fact that they haven't made another Carnival Phantasm yet is some kind of war crime.

Especially the way they teased at Rider shenanigans in the final scene.

I hope they do an event soon to help with mats as I am rapidly maxing out all the heroes I actually use.

Also, a PSA to Herc owners: I might/probably am talking out of my rear end here, but NP-boosting CEs on Herc are not that useful IMO, because any turn that you are not using that Herc's Buster Card is a bad turn which means ideally he should almost never be boosting his NP unless by "accident" (bad shuffles that only give you his Arts card, he gets hit during an Evade turn, etc.). Stuff that boosts Buster performance like Limited / Zero Over is way better IMO.

I thought this was what you were supposed to do with him as in buff up his Buster skills?

The 5* chance is 1%, if you hit that then your chances of getting Gil are very high. Idk the exact percentage but I think it's somewhere near 70-80%.

Do any events ever change those odds?

There is a new take on one of the most popular tag teams in the series and Orleans does do a decent job of starting to dig into what it means when the grail spits out two versions of a single person.

I suppose it is a good thing that the servants I really want are all limited summons anyway. More importantly I am glad they prioritize using free prisms first instead of the stuff that you pay for.

Kara no Kyoukai is an incredibly fun event. Farming was pretty easy for me, and it offers one of the best welfare servants. Music was good too.

Da Vinci's is a favorite of mine just because of the servant it offers and its story. Jeanne Alter turns herself into an otome game protagonist

Doesn't a certain other dating game protagonist call her out on it?

I would say just save it for tickets so that when the servants you want hit the shop you have as many chances as possible to get them.

Yeah Camelot is a giant gently caress you if you haven't really been strategizing, its officially the end of being able to just face roll encounters with an underleveled mishmash of servants. On the plus side, babylonia is noticeably easier once you pass Camelot.

You weren't kidding. I was actually making some progress until I ran into the 2nd Gawain fight.

So for dealing with Gawain I know it was recommended that I use Euryale but would Robin Hood still work okay as I already have him up to 40 compared to a flat 1 with her.

Just as a general note thanks for the advice about getting through Camelot. I am going to be spending some time getting my servants nice and strong before attempting it again.

I have a question about the Quetzalcoatl review. You said she was story locked but despite having only reached Camelot I was able to get her with one of the 5 star banners. Do the ensured 5* banners work differently or is there something else I am missing?
