i'd definitely go martha over marie in most earlygame/casual situations if you want stuff like heals and debuff clear

I am kinda holding back in devoting resources until I get all the summon rewards from the new player bonus logins. So yeah right now based on who I have, I probably would go with Martha and Georgios over Marie for Riders I would invest in at this point.

Martha is also just really good in general now, she has a lot of staying power, great party support and can actually deal some decent damage with her NP.

That's not a lot to spend so I'd say it's worth it, especially since she doesn't hit very hard and overkill hits are really important for looping. Also NP3 is the last really noticable damage increase, 3->4 and 4->5 are tiny.

Indeed they do. Someone even dug into the code a couple of years ago to confirm the rainbow orbs will only ever happen for a 5-star Servant. Likely Bisby got gold orbs, but didn't get a good enough look before the Servant popped out, and mistook them for rainbow.

Yeah those things go by quick, they're easy to miss.

Think I might use some tickets but only when Li has his solo rate-up. I don't need any more Emiyas but I could use NP2 for one of my ST lancers.

np3 izou took like 140 sq plus my 27 tickets, just going to ignore that i got 5 medeas in that time

In all likelihood, one of the missions wasn't keeping track of progress properly. That sometimes happens in these mission based events.

Have they done the engine update to make the game work decently on newer Iphones yet? I've been taking a break from the game because of it.

i wouldn't expect the engine update for at least a week, depending how they handle the LB2 stuff that needs to start hitting towards the end of this event

Gatcha is being really absurd with me lately.

For the 10Mil banner I just wanted maybe NP2-3 Rider Mordred. First Ticket got Tamamo Lancer! Nice. 500 SQ down the drain later, only got 1 SurfMo. Only other SR I got was an NP upgrade for Assassin Emiya. Cruel joke near the end was Gold Rider Card Ozymandias spook. Well. I guess I got an NP2 SSR Rider now, and a shitton of useless Summer1 CEs I gotta make into xp bombs. Chased too much, should have stopped at 300 when I got Surfmo.

Just wanted to roll 90 SQ on Guda3 hoping for NP3 Izou and some event CEs. Got Alter on first multi. Got a single Izou on last one. Gonna just stop here. Event limited 3* is such a horrible gimmick for such a good servant.

Is it just me or does Majin Saber seem to be dishing out really lackluster damage, even with a 100% event attack bonus? It's my first time using an Alter Ego.

low NP damage is kind of her thing, but her cards should be pretty good given high natural atk and ~30% boost to most of her deck.

Alter Egos in general aren't the most impressive damage dealers. Mainly because they've got effectiveness against the Cavalry classes (Rider, Assassin, Caster), but they only deal 1.5x damage against them, rather than 2x like a focused class - they've also got the additional downside of ineffectiveness against all the Knight classes (Saber, Archer, Lancer), dealing only 0.5x damage to them. They also take neutral damage from all of those, which is both a pro and con. Against Berserkers they're the same as most classes, and their one true specialty is against Foreigners (standard 2x damage dealt/0.5x damage taken) but that's rarely relevant.

Their main usage is for mixed Cavalry nodes, or against Assassin nodes in particular since decent damage-dealing Casters aren't exactly common. Okita Alter actually does have VERY high attack (she's in a 3-way tie for 10th highest, including JP Servants), so if you're thinking she's doing lackluster damage it's probably due to the lower multiplier.

Mixed cavalry is the main reason I bring an AE, yeah. Kiara having both a 50% NP charge and in general good NP gain means she's been a great farmer for me in a lot of events.
