Don't forget to level your FPoolers for LB7. Especially those with defensive skills like evade/invinc, guts.
First for best girls.
Finally completely leveled the Decisive-Battle mystic code. When the fuck are they gonna reward my autistic need to max out every Mystic Code?
>>1622049Fuck, I'm only at level 7.
Just rolled castoria, best CE for her?Captcha: DK4PS
>>1623136tea time/ bella lisa
>>1623136A LB'd farming one on support (Bond (Tea Time) or QP(Bella Lisa, if you have Neither you can probably put on Beginning of the Journey or, but it is generally not a hot pick but can get occasional ones.) and when doing easy/looping nodes.On the practical side,Personally i like NP Gain (More frequent NPs) and overcharge (More lenience in where to fire off her NP and still get several stacks of Anti-Enforcement Defense without needing to fire off another NP before hers) if doing something more challenging but honestly it is not like she NEEDS them so generally you gonna be using something that increases your drops or Bond unless you specifically know you want more overcharge for some reason, i also had some good mileage from from the Invuln/Evade ones to have her survive to get the NP rolling in some cases back before i 10/10/10'd her.
>>1623136If you're using her in a challenging fight, this one can be great on her https://fategrandorder.fandom.com/wiki/The_One_who_Desires_Salvation. It guarantees the first three to four usages of her NP gives everyone at least three invul stacks regardless of NP chains or overcharge. It's good for other servants with useful overcharge effects on their NP as well.

>no longer lose AP for retreating from main quest battlesFinally, now do the same for free quests
>>1624351Damn that and the all your command spells regenerating every day instead of just one thing is gonna make it a lot easier to get through the game.
Just got to Ibuki in Heian Kyo, does having an ignore invincible CE work on her bullshit?
>>1624910yes
man i gotta reread merchant of venice
Am I totally crazy for thinking that the big surprise nasu mentioned is that the final part is voiced?
Did 100 rolls and didn't get any 5* servant at all

>>1625451Mana prisms you get through daily missions, or selling 3 servants, or 3 star or higher CEs or exp cards.Rare prisms you get either certain events, leveling up welfare servants, 4 star FP servants, and event FP servants to max ascension, or burning servants that are 4 or 5 stars.Pure prisms you get for story progression and ascending servants.>>1625457>sell a rare servant or CE for rare(yellow)Selling rare CEs doesn't get you rare prisms. Has to be servants.
>>1625467>Rare CESorry, I always think that event CEs have the same kind of exceptions as event or free servants since I don't care to sell themYeah, none of them give rare prisms

Merlin (but cute) appreciation post. I know she's rated high on tier lists but I never see her get praise despite being an absolute core of my squad, Her/Castoria/Arts-Looper-of-my-choice-but-let's-be-honest-it's-probably-Ibuki clears 99% of the game.Male Merlin is okay I guess.
>>1629130She is pretty underappreciated, i think a big issue is that people approach her as competing with the elephant in the room that is Castoria rather then complementing her and overrate the importance of her NP levels and tunnel comparing her to Merlin. Especially in regards to NP efficiency.I could rant my own take on that, but im a brainlet so i won't.
>>1629130She's useful for CQs and advanced quests, but in terms of general looping I can just double Castoria, and put a much cheaper Xu Fu in reserve if I need an extra push.
A quick mechanical question.If i have Bazett and give her Command Codes that give NP Damage Up when attacking, does the damage up improve the Counter attacks even if the Attack Cards/Command Codes are used after the NP Card (IE: a NP,Q,Q chain as an example)?
>>1629428Her passive makes every single buff last until the end of enemy turn and the NP damage gets calculated on the moment you do damageIt doesn't matter and you should keep doing that chain
>>1629496Thanks anon, i was a bit insecure so good to have confirmation.
>Santa AbbyNeat.

So I don't really pay attention to discussion about this game and as such ignored Oberon because he was ugly, but I finally caught up on LB6 recently, ended up really liking Oberon, and then found out he's actually one of the most amazing servants in the game, so I finally pulled him this latest banner. I tend not to look ahead at the JP server either, but I'm thinking, man I could have had this guy for like a year if I'd paid more attention. So I figured I'd come here and ask the people who actually do pay attention, are there any more gamebreaking servants upcoming in the next couple years that I should be saving my quartz for? Preferably more OP supports, I think I'm pretty good on DPS. But any recommendations are welcome, I just don't wanna overlook someone great because I didn't care for their design.
>>1633126I'm pretty sure there's no one replacing Castoria-skadi2-koyanskaya-oberon anytime soonThere are gamebreaking ones in DPS but not much competition on support
>>1633126No-one on the buff front but there's some really good servants like Kukulkan and a new servant class comingProbably can keep your quartz saved for whoever you like instead of focusing on meta next year
They'll have to drop Castoria 3 to make a dent
>>1633187What's the new servant class?
>>1633201Beast. There are only two so far on JP and each has unique weaknesses and strength.The first one (Draco) is ST Arts has Class Advantage against the 7 Standard Classes (2x against Berserker, 1.5x for Knight/Cavalry) but disadvantage against the Extra Classes (Dealing only 0.5x Damage), also her NP deals Special damage against the 7 Standard Classes, so she basically melts anything that isn't a Extra Class, Basically she is a Super ST Berserker who resists the 7 Standard Classes isntead of having a mutual weakness. Her main issue is honestly just that she "came too late", most longtime players probably already have well developed dedicated counters for each of the 7 Standard Classes, or use a Berserker for all of them. She should be coming this Spring in a Event.The second one (Summer Eresh) is AoE Arts, She is basically the opposite of Draco in that she is specialized against Extra Classes (With Avenger being an exception), She deals 1.5x Damage to Ruler/Moon Cancer/Alter Ego/ Foreigner/Pretender, 0.5x against Avengers and Neutral to everything else and is also huge Whale bait due several things that could make a essay on their own, thing include her Gimmick that the character revolves around being unusable when used as support so you have to have her yourself if you wanna use her, no easy out of using a friend support and several other factors (Like you will probably want at least NP2 for Overcharge), She came out this Anni/Summer on JP and a such is basically 2/1.5 years away.
>Decide to drop 30 quartz, no more no less, solely for the chance at buster loopingWell... shit, I guess I have to start LB6 now. I feel like the dog that caught the car, I know he's massively popular plot wise but I legitimately have no idea why.
I think the ++ node is harder than this CQ. Is this what they were like in the early days???
>>1633395This CQ is pretty easy in general, but yeah, power creep is real.
is it possible to 999 every servant without using SQ for refills?I'm planning to not roll till summer
>>1633419>is it possible to 999 every servant without using SQ for refills?I don't understand what you mean.
>>1633419If you're talking about events then you can mostly do them on natural AP and a few apples at the endIf you're talking about leveling up every servant in your box for THAT then you're a little late but it's not like you need to do it as soon as it comes out, no need for refills
>I don't understand what you mean.I love this post, it reminds me of boomer grandmas on Facebook and Amazon from internet's past
>>1633437It just feels like it's impossible without setting a day and grinding. I'm blaming the AP system, it's just way too low. You login do 7 or 3 runs, then fuck off for like 8 hours to do it again.Is it better to do daily trainings or just specific nodes? I only have like 4 SSRs left to do so it's not too bad but SRs still take quite a bit of mats too
>>1633467Better to grind during events were the AP cost on the training grounds is cut in half. Also, you won't have to worry about AP for long, as over time you'll get a shit ton of apples. Never use SQ to refill your AP, that's a trap.
>>1633471But for daily grinding I guess high tier training grounds are probably the best?Zero thinking where I need to go and gets me skill gems?Also I can't imagine how many boxes people do in lotteries, I usually do 20-30 and that's only enough for my SSRs and some of my SRs.I'm plugging in my shit into farming hell and it is literally farming hell
>>1633492>I'm plugging in my shit into farming hell and it is literally farming hellWelcome to F/GO. You don't get meta servants to beat hard fights, you do it to make farming as efficient as possible.
>>1633232Hm, that works out well for me since I already like to collect all the summer characters so that's usually what I'm saving for anyway, always liked Eresh but didn't have much use for her regular version so this sounds interesting. Was pondering if I want to go all in on summer Ibuki next rerun and try and bring her to NP5/lv 120 but I'm thinking I'll back off on that, I like her enough for 100 but it's not a 120 love.Thanks both of you for the answers anyway, I guess I'll examine the DPS as they come out and see if any of them tickle my fancy but it sounds like I'm probably good continuing to focus on summer servants, maybe powering up a couple of my old favorites. And knowing there's no important supports for at least two years is a relief because I've got the other ones mentioned I still don't have Koyan and I was also considering Miss Crane, I have quite a few SQ saved up right now but I think all these will keep me occupied for quite some time.
They're going crazy with the buffs, are we really sure it's not the end of the game soon?
>>1633585geronimo and phantom did get buffed, if Angra gets his NP made so it's not completely useless, we might be in the end days
>>1633845Do all the black bordered Christmas matches. They cost Gongs but if you run out you can buy them with raw tickets in the event shop.
>>1633851>the 90+ at the top cuz it requires i finish the last singularity.No black presents in that one. Just a Lore for beating it. Every story event has a challenge quest like it.
>LB7 on christmas dayIs it all in one bit or is it in sections like 5 and 6?
>>1635630Coming in 3 parts.
>spent all Gongs for stages>forgot to get Santa Karna NP dupes before thatIt's over for me
>>1635667Meant 2.>>1635678Well, you'll be able to fix that in 2 years.
>>1635630>Just started LB6I'm going to restrain myself from skipchadding because I heard this one is actually good but there's gonna be some speed-reading the next few days.
>>1635630isn't christmas day a really stupid time to drop something so big?
>>1636157If you look at what happened afterwards on JPYeah
>>1636157Depends on how you see it. if you assume people play while commuting to/from wherever they gonna celebrate or don't celebrate it at all (or already Celebrated it the day prior) so they got time to play. Besides it dropping that day doesn't mean you have to do it in one go ASAP. You can argue it is the perfect time because most people will be too busy with Christmassy/family things to spread/stumble over spoilers (Though this honestly more applies to JP, NA has gotten spoiled to death on LB7 already)I'd say the actual danger is risk of potential errors and bugs showing up and not being solved because everyone is on vacation.
>>1636164Yeah I meant nobody being around to fix things if something goes wrong.Though it is annoying that they keep doing big things around the christmas holidays when I'm busy, at least this year it's not a massive raid.
What do they do if we don't reach a reaction goal?Shut down the server?
Supposedly they used to bot it after a while. But xitter doesn't show likes anymore so they can just arbitrarily say that they got enough reactions.
>>1637239RIP korean server
>>1637258It still shows the number of likes though, just not who did them.
We only cleared this one with 300 to spareWe're not living much longer
>>1639047>Lb7>Draco>Faerie SummerWe'll be okay for another year at least.
>mahou shoujou phantasmoonI don't even know what to say
>>1639047>>1639066If the game dies before we get summer chloe and the summer faeries I will kill someone.
It'd be nice if there was some kind of pre-battle scan where you can get data on the enemy's traits and such, rather than needing to look it up on a wiki outside of the game
>>1640209Honestly just getting to know how many waves/enemies there are gonna be alone would be a huge boon as QoL, i certainly feel like i done a story node, think the story has set up for fight against a single strong opponent and the preview only shows one Class icon of what seems to be a Servant and then gotten 3x3x3 weakshits more then once, i mean i guess one can argue that's the point, but it is still annoying when it happens, honestly i think that is one of the subtle factors that make people favor AoE servants more then ST ones on average if playing casually, a good AoE servant is still generally passable against a single Boss opponent if you make a wrong assumption about a node, a good ST on a group trash node is much more noticeable, and that is putting aside there are probably way more trash nodes then ST ones in the story anyway.
>>1639548I understand that feeling all too well. Not long ago, one of my gachas died RIGHT before they could push the latest swimsuit batch
Hell yeah
>>1640209Fucking Camelot. >Archer icon>Load in all Lancers >"LMAO GET TRICKED FAGGOT HE'S ACTUALLY A SABER"It's a pitance of AP, I know, but it's still annoying as shit.
>>1640178>It took an 18 MB update to change this
>>1640910We're getting advanced quests in a couple of days
>>1640741My guess is that the Grand Saber will be Excalibur using Artoria as a vessel rather than just a wielder. Think Lion King but SaberI'm still curious as to who the Grand Berserker will be...
Does Ritsuka know English?I'm pretty sure that everytime we communicated outside of Japanese was thanks to the translation mystic code thingBut what about LB6? Does that imply translation was pure magic with no technology or did nasu just forget?
She's not a levitating servant yetShe's just standing on her tippy toes to appear taller
Lol, lmao even+
>>1624313Do we know if it's already patched on NA?
>>1640209The dreaded "?" preview
>>1641104Tezcatlipoca was the Grand Berserker before he took over the Grand Assassin role after Hassan vacated itIMO it'd have to be someone who also represents carnage to a degree like him, I could throw Loki into the position, considering he started ragnarok
>>1641314Players knowingly or unknowingly getting into quartz debt over the mission bug in FGO while I remain untouched because I do not actually play FGO much beyond logging in
>>1641649I think Loki is probably a bad fit since while he does start Ragnarok his main thing is kinda more being a troll/trickster/shitstirrer generally speaking. Honestly i wouldn't mind a Romolus/Orion where it is a servant we "already have" getting a do over.
>>1641699Beowulf would make a good shout in that case, he's one of the earliest documented berserkersIn truth it should be Herc but I want a lucid version of him
>>1641649>>1641699Loki would be better suited for the likes of Caster or Pretender than Berserker. Yeah definitely Pretender; I can't imagine them NOT introducing Loki as pretending to be someone else (or the Loki we get is actually someone ELSE pretending to be HIM like his eight-legged horse daughter Sleipnir)>>1641797>lucid HercIsn't that Alcides?
>>1641970Not quite. Archer Herc before he get's MUD'd is the appropriate one but he doesn't last five mins
>>1641314Is this your account, anon?

Alright my fellow NA paypigs, what lucky bag are you getting this year and who's your target servant? I'm getting ST Archer, since I don't have any that are 5 stars, and hoping to get Summer Seiba.
>want Summer Skadi>get the Gochiusa siblingsWell, you can't win 'em all
>>1644165Im between ST Assassin,Extra Arts AoE or Extra Buster AoE 2 , the first is all good outcomes but also kinda boring, the second has a "dud" in Ruler Mort but is also overall solid outcomes. The third one is the riskiest of the three, but got a potential Archetype:Earth (I ended up skipping her during Anni/Summer so i could afford rolling for Ruler-Skadi and Proto Merlin.)
Just need 13 more Miyu copies for a 120 grand caster.fuck
>>1644165Imma try for Merlin on the Caster single target/support NP. Getting OG Skadi would also be big and I don’t mind some Castoria dupes.
>>1644165>ST Archera meme category really, it's dreadfully poor of a selection. I just use my NP2 TomoeI'm going for Support/ST Caster. The only real L I can take is Okuni, and that's only because I already have her, the rest except Illya and Crane are all top tier units
>>1644438The plus sign is that the ST Archer roster is small so if you want one of the three for their meme you have a good chance on landing them. They just kinda suffer from 4* being good enough or arguably better if their niche is in play and MHX shenanigans meaning that Anti-Saber Special Damage isn't that fucking uncommon and basically lets non-Archer be Archers anyway and potentially double dip another Anti-Trait too.Like for example, Fujino being on banner again soon also arguably makes it a bit less appealing since Super Giant is actually more common then one would think at first, and Super Giant enemies tend to fight alone and Buff Denial, i think she is probably one of the Top Tier ST Archers due that even though she is "just" an 4*.That said, love the old man with backpains anyway and use both personally.
>>1644165>Wanted Kingprotea >Instead got Archetype Loop to NP4Hephaestion has spooked me so many times I barely notice her anymore.
Got the priest in 15 and Bryn for the GSSR
>>1644489I got NP2 Old Man, and with that confirming that he gonna be the Assassin on my Destiny Order come Summer.
>>1644165Wanted Summer Seiba, but got a double drop of both Moriarty and Orion, so I'm more than okay with that.
>dropped 300 quartz>only got Ibarakiwhy do I even bother
>>1644165Most of the lucky bags selections were a bit shit for me this year so I went for extra support since i didn't have any of them and I wouldn't mind getting any of them.I really wanted sismerlin but I ended up with my 2nd choice van gogh so I'm not too sad.>>1644492I got alter nito the other day with my 'hope I get lucky' 30sq and 10 ticket roll, but I didn't get Kirei unfortunately.
Kotomine is pretty fun
>saw gold card>new Astraea and Zenobia + dupe Beowulf, Wu, and MarthaAt least give me a 5* dupe
I'm starting to think the first season of nasomaru had a limited roster of appearances on purpose just so they could translate it pretty soon after, but after they buried it under an aniplex channel with no views they just gave up and started putting up to date servants
>>1644046they should do this but for the sq gacha

At this point is there really any point in any mystic code that doesn't have order change?
>>1645715If you're farming bond or simply restricted by cost then it's totally viable to not bring Oberon and get a mystic code to help with consistencyI myself am very excited to get castoria's gifted one
>>1645715Fashion, Bondtism and the PLOT/Challenge/Advanced Quest nodes that limit you to 3 Servants (or less), like im pretty sure the ORT Gangbang has the "best" MCs be the ones that give some kind of one turn Invincibillity and then Servant appropriate buffs due how it is structured favoring a solo approach.Basically other MCs have usecases, but it is something that game has to go out of its way to make happen more often then not.
>>1645871The problem is mc skills haven't benefited from the same power creep as the servant skills. Swapping to a servant with the skills you need will always be more effective than anything you can do yourself.
Huh, part 1 of LB 7 was a lot shorter than I expected, I guess we have to wait a few weeks for part 2?
>>1646018>scheduled to be released in mid-January 2025!https://fate-go.us/news/?category=NEWS&article=%2Fiframe%2F2024%2F1231_nahui_mictlan_2%2F
>>1646018>>1646054It was 31st for JP, so assuming "Mid" means somewhere between 11th to 20th NA is getting it notably faster. Seems like they are taking the opportunity to catch up a little, even if it is just by a few weeks.
>>1644278thank goodness i already have that doneif only my nezha took that few...
What the fuck is the deal with Tezcatlipoca artist? Why did they choose someone who obviously can't draw?
I hate that they "link" certain new features with the story so there's no way to get class score or grand servants without also getting the story earlyCastoria getting to 120 was fun even if we got it before her, they should do it more like that
>>1621166>that waverwow goodness, few years back enjoyed having him, merlin, and either jalter or gil for those bosses and probably clearing mobs. Just bummed about the limited transfer codes (is it still a maximum of 10 transfers?) And hoping I can just keep it easy with welfare 4-stars and Shakespeare / Hans for that budget Waver and Merlin experience.
I really wish the QP quests were half off. I've got three new 5 stars and it's an absolute drain.
That fight where they disable voices was very funny for some reason
>got Merlin in GSSR>lacking the Caster statues to get him to maxyamate
