Thread 1745217

>>1745217 (OP)
What is the next event?

>>1745254
OC1 story then the foot (shoe) tower event with Medusa and Baobahn.

>>1745296
Foot tower is probably gonna get pushed back for the anniversary. Might even get pushed to after the summer event.

>>1745303
I thought Medusa was in the GSSR and they would have to release her before anni.

>>1745305
They could just exclude her from the GSSR. Or even have her show up early. There's nothing really forcing them to have the event.

none of the next few banners seem appealing, i might have 400 qtz going into 2026

Any reason to roll for ruler Kagetora?

>>1745381
Looking at her kit, she looks like she would be good for certain boss fights and high difficulty quests, given that she has a very spamable single target NP with buff removal. Not something you'll be using constantly, but likely very useful in certain situations.

>>1745381
nana mizuki

maintenance!? my storm pods....

what's maint for? is there a new event?

>>1745625
New story part.

based cunnyGOD

bros i love brown women and flat chests

>new banner
>just a couple of dudes
wtf man, where are the cute girls

>>1746097
Kama in a few days, and Durga in a week.

>>1746101
kama is a dude and durga is a cow

>>1746105
Well, after that it's the download campaign with some saberfaced summer servants, then it'll be the anniversary with Asec and a bunch of other miscellaneous girls.

So, none of the Rani AI are wearing underwear, right?

For buster looping, should I use Melusine, Morgan, Arjuna Alter, or Kukulcan?

I'm trying to decide who to use my gold Fou's on

>>1746295
Arjuna Alter or Morgan, either one is fine.

im grinding through Traum and it's an absolute snoozer; I swear Fuyuki was more exciting than this

>>1746368
I thought all the no-name servants were kinda funny, but the rest of it was kinda lame (istanbul XI and the lady pope being the worst parts)

>>1746368
The end of Traum is honestly worth everything that came before it.

Mashu's 10 year arc is over and I feel nothing

>been playing 3 years
>finally got my first NP5 gold servant that isn't a welfare
>Martha
At least I like her, even if she really doesn't offer much my Odysseus or Ivan can't do better

>>1746630
Kinda hard to care when you've found countless better waifus in that timespan and her new outfit is just her OG but with pantyhose

>>1746630
Probably because her arc finished with Solomon and everything after is just flavor. Most of LB and Ordeal call was more for the MC.

2 years until bond 15 fix...

>>1747051
Translation?

>>1747064
When you reach bond 15 you get a passive 25% bond (offsets the missing bond from being maxed out)
And you can even see it in the passives of supports so you know who has a bond 15(it won't do anything if it's not your servant)

>>1747078
>When you reach bond 15 you get a passive 25% bond (offsets the missing bond from being maxed out)
Neat. We tend to get QoL updates ahead of schedule, so here's hoping it get's here sooner rather than later.

>And you can even see it in the passives of supports so you know who has a bond 15(it won't do anything if it's not your servant)
So, is that just to off or what?

>>1747086
Yeah, it only serves as a way to show off if you see it in supports

>>1746126
going by XII and the type Bs, i'd say so yeah

>>1746368
I'm cruising through it atm and I'm just on where the protagonist, Salome and a bunch of no-names are escaping Revenge and it seems OK, certainly could do with accelerating a bit. Feels a bit like the first bit of Olympus really

I was originally not even going to roll on the current banner but after finishing Paper Moon I liked them enough to put 30 quartz in. Bhima might just have one of the coolest NPs I've seen in FGO, does anyone else specifically change their animation based on having overcharge?

the world revolving...

Any reason I need to do OC1 right now? (Event prereq) Or can I continue converting to blapples

>>1747749
Nah, unless you want all that SQ right now, you're fine.

>>1747749
class score for extra classes and for getting the new mats

bros... who am i......

Bros…I might have to pull for her…

Definitely a dickroll decision but it had to be done. Question for you anons, do you go dupe hunting or just say fuck it and wait for the next banner so the pity system is on again?

thats pretty cool

>>1750071
i go for higher np levels if theyre a long term target of mine

>>1750071
I prioritize variety over NP levels. I use Destiney Order pulls to up the NP on only my strongest servants.

hey everyone, divegrass anon here, now it's that time again to decide which characters will represent this thread in the Summer cup, so feel free to suggest any new characters to the team and/or a reply if you want to see this Destroyer of Franchises in the roster poll starting next friday, for things that affect the team as a whole please send your suggestions in >>1748272
>if you don't know what i'm talking about, tldr: https://pastebin.com/nr9ujDMN
Last time we managed to reach the knockouts of our first elite cup so let's keep up the pace for Summer

>>1750071
I do it like this:
>I target 1 if it is a fun or something that doesn't use the NP much to do their thing and actually enables servants i like (IE: Meta Supports)
>I target 1 if it is a Impulse Roll because the character was fun in the Event/Story.
>I target 2 if it is a Servant that benefits from it to push over certain thresholds to properly function.
>I target 5 if it is a Limited/Storylocked 4-Star and a character i actually like, but when i do i try to make sure the Banner 5-Star is one i like because Desire Sensor is real, and also 4-Stars can get surprisingly screwed for banners due getting Split and not getting the benefit of Solo Shill banners like the "xxx Days" ones like 5* servants and even if you pull 5 copies for max NP levels you gonna need to pull more for fucking coins so might as well go ham if a good banner for a 4* you like pops up.
>Destiny Order is for NP+ for my favorites.

>>1750160
Keep Liz that's fine

Here's my ranking of the basic RANI series AIs
1st - Type B
2nd - Type R
joint 3rd - Type T and K
5th - Type D
6th -Type G

They really need to start having events with CE leveling success ups right after Valentines Day so I don't have to let all the dupe gifts sit in my gift box for 3 and a half months.

>>1750160
I LOVE LIZ and so on and so forth

>>1750744
you just ordered them by skin exposure!
plus, you clearly don't understand the tomboyish charm of the Ts

>Just now hitting me I cleared Camelot using Baobhan/Barghest/Morg almost exclusively
At time time I just pulled for them because they were hot and used them because they were stronger than my f2p servants. Now that I'm going through LB6 I can appreciate the lore implications.

>>1753049
Baobhan really makes the meme Gawain fight easy, I do wish there was a way to play part 1 without any broken part 2 servants

>>1753148
there is??
literally just dont use them are you daft

>>1752846
Every time they ride they feel the wind going up their shorts, and, like all Ranis, they don't wear underwear.

>>1753152
Yeah i don't know what I was thinking

Ok Anons which one are you shooting for? Going for Skadi personally.

>>1753961
Probably rolling on the same banner, hoping for Summer Ibuki, since I want a good arts AOE zerker. I'd also be happy with Skadi or Arc, the only potential dud being FeMerlin, since I already have her and leveling her NP won't help me that much.

>>1753961
Either Tez, Okuni, or the Saibahdusa banners, almost every other banner I have at least one servant already as I want to have variety. Funnily enough there is a banner where I have all three.

>>1753961
the dumb looking one

>>1753961
If I was a paypig the one with Bazette looks fun. Okuni's and Kuku's are the only others with no dupes.

>>1753961
Probably skip this one but if I do decide to go for it, the Kukulkun and Rikyu one looks good

>>1753961
Maybe the Lady A banner? All the other ones I'm either not interested in the servants or have them already, at least with the Lady A banner I could get a 3rd arc, a 2nd bikiniskadi or summer snake lady.
I kinda feel bad for people that want Oberon, that banner sucks ass.

>>1753961
Looking like it gonna depend on my DO result, I'll aiming mostly for NP copies of characters i like though rather then new characters (they are still a decision fatcor though). Lady A is gonna be my Extra 2 slot, so if the Order Roll Result is her then that banner to hopefully push her to NP3 is a no brainer. and if both hits I'll probably use my SQ savings to just try to Push for NP4/5 on her Summer Rerun, but if she doesn't hit the DO the banner becomes fair bit less attractive since i really feel like Ruler Skadi doesn't benefit from Np+ in the slightest and i do not care for Ibuki, which leaves Arc as the "Consolation Prize", although an interesting one.

Similarly Vietwins Banner will depend on my MO result with the added caveat i'll be pulling on the Bakin rerun for the sake of LoboCoin (Last banner until the Avenger Summoning Campaign IIRC, and i should note this is taking precedence of the potential "Lady A Rerun" savings, i want Lobo to hit 120 before OC2) and she is my Rider DO pick, so while Bakin and Bazett are characters i like there is a non 0% chance Bakin could hit NP5 before the Grab Bag depending on "Luckfaggotry", Bazett is really good though thanks to Fragarach being so unique mechanically and befits from NP levels.

Honestly Morgan and Kiara/Castoria are probably my "Safe, But boring" options but even they will get pushed one way or another depending on the roll result.

So OC1 was ok I guess? I think I might have liked it more if I actually cared about india avengers or whatever the fuck it's called, but the non-india characters were cool.

>>1753961
Assuming that this is the GSSR, then Lady A's banner. Only real "dud" there for me is Archetype Earth.(in the sense that I don't want her)

>>1753961
Pretty much everything is shit for me this time around.
#2 would be great but I loath Ibuki more than any other servant in the game so I would never gamble on adding her to my dex.
#5, darkvitch is great, I kinda like okuni, but Jalter 2: goofy slut edition is a hard no.
The only good option for me is #10. I need Douman, I like Ushi, and Muramasa is inoffensive to me.

>>1757825
Wow you have really shit taste anon.

>NP5 just in time to finally get her Berserker form
I fell in love with her the moment I realized she hates the fr*nch almost as much as I do.

>Jalter and Summer Medb on the same banner
stop tempting me like this

Did I miss a login event? Why are my golden fous differing by 1 fou.

>>1760341
Did you accept all the class score Fous and differ by a mission or two?

Is Kulkulkan at risk of going ORT?
Can she turn into the spider even if the change is permanent?

NOOO MY AP

>>1761300
Gotta be careful about dumping your AP before maintenance starts.

>>1745217 (OP)
So how long until they gift us the ticket for a 4 or 5 star servant?

>>1761710
4 star ticket in October.

The fight against Kirei, Beni, Bhima and Archer is actually pretty tough in this event

>>1764629
The mechs with their invincibility stacks were nasty too. I tried to finesse the one with the 3 Japanese servants a couple times before I just took a looping Berserker and 2 turned it.

So how’s everyone enjoying the feet fetish event so far? Personally I’m glad to be done.

>>1764866
I feel like I'm so fucking far behind, I only got to the foot fetish part yesterday.

>>1765108
Have you leveled up all the 3-and-lower stars? Can pad your progress with them and bide time for gold servants to rest.

>>1765112
Nah that's not the problem, I'm just too busy atm for this event.

>>1764866
70 floors left. Boring desu and bosses with break bars every 10 floors are annoying

>>1764866
On Shoot 68, I slowed down back on Friday so i mostly just stick to one Black Grail team with occaisonally using 3 other ones rather then using all my servants and Kscoping it. I fee secure i gonna make it anyway.

>>1764866
Unpopular opinion, but I actually like tower events. It's more interesting than the typical farming and gives me an excuse to actually use all the servants I have.

>>1765234
>gives me an excuse to actually use all the servants I have
I like that about tower events too, but it takes way too long to get through all the floors

I actually use my 3-4* servants for the first floors every day and after I spend my stamina (I convert to 2 blue apples before I start) I never even manage to utilize my NP5 SSRs

>>1765847
Give me cap. Give me teio

fuuuck.... johanna said something before retreating in shot 6 of more portraits but i missed it because i was on mute...

>>1765993
I don't see any battle scripts in honkpress or atlas. Could have been just her normal defeat line.

>>1764866
Love me some sneks. I'm glad that they were at the top of the tower. Costumes never ever.

>>1766457
Melu is such a Brocon
Real shame Percival of pph has no relation to Percival of fearie briton

>finally beat the final boss
>another 100 levels to go
jesus christ

>>1767380
It's over

I spend more time slapping together a team than actually fighting.

Really need to continue, I'm still on floor 45. Honestly wish it was like the raid where we can deploy 1 servant.
I've also just been turning my AP into coppers.
>>1768049
My biggest issue is that not even a level 100 kscope is good enough for a 1 NP clear at my point.

Just to double check the campaign support doesn't have any SQ for clearing story node this time around right?

bros who is the white haired beauty in the back...
HRT24

>>1768940
Carmilla. She really is beautiful when she takes the mask off.

Lv 100 was actually easier than other levels.
I think the one I hated the most was the one with morg. cause of the skill seal turn 0

>>1769432
You could block that with debuff immune which is on the event CE iirc

>>1769565
I wanted to use double kscopes for instant killing with my lancers

bros how do i see my class scores
i wanna see the cool number that shows up as a +x when choosing the support servant...

>>1770279
You can't
Ask a friend or make a different account to see yourself

I don't even know what class to invest into considering my main team consists of nothing but extra classes, foreigners, beast, pretender.

>>1770282
That seems like a huge oversight wtf

>>1770316
invest in foreigners beast and pretender then whats there to think about

https://webview.fate-go.us/iframe/2025/0624_8th_anniversary_cp/
Watch your CE requirements, some of them need main interludes.

>>1770508
What else did we get for this?

>>1770514
30 quartz in a day or two.
Limited Mission rewards for clearing story. Advance Quest quartz that can be done whenever.

>>1770537
>Advance Quest quartz
Noooooooooooo


I really don't want to do the advanced quests.....

>>1770537
And some class score permanent missions, adding old event CEs to the prism shop, and starting party members now get a bond bonus.

>>1771995
Honestly they aren't too bad unless you let them pile up, same as with Interludes, a lot of their gimmicks can be brute forced, Wolf Quest stands out as being the suckiest one though

>>1773621
>too bad unless you let them pile up
whoops

>>1773621
Dead Hazard fucking blows.

>>1773621
Are we caught up or do we have another batch? I haven't done the most recent 3

>>1773621
Biggest problem is that I have no room for a bunch of CEs that will never MLB at this point.

>>1773825
Next set is in December, then May of next yet, then we'll be caught up to where JP is currently since they haven't had any in over a year.

>>1773884
I just stick them in the second archive

>>1773621
>unless you let them pile up,
I have the servants for them but holy shit they are so fucking annoying to clear. Feels like I need to read 3 math textbooks just to get a single drop CE.

>>1774199
Considering all you get is CEs that give you a slightly better chance of a mat dropping these are way more annoying than they need to be.

>>1774382
I'd say the real devaluing of the CEs is that stuff is kinda "Lottery Meta" for most (Old) mat farming, they ARE nice if you are in a situation you are grinding for the mats to try to get them ASAP though, Like i finally upgraded Nitocris so i can Death Meme the QP Stormpod Quest and having the MLB'd Bone CE was still nice to get the bones i was missing because i missed some lotteries.

Honestly they should been like Beginning of Journey, Come MLB'd put the box, Fully leveled and with a cost of 3, people would appreciate them way more if that was the case. Or just have each set come with ONE type of CE so when you done each in a set you have a MLB'd copy instead of this shitty spread.

>>1774382
In all honesty, I do wonder why thay didn't add them to the Free Gacha pulls. You could keep the advanced quests for other stuff like memorial CE tickets or pure prisms.

>gambled for NP 5 klu
>got NP4 Zhuo instead
Bright side, I finally got my first Kriem, so I'm happy, just need 4 more copies

Welp, that just happened, on one hand i don't care for Ibuki, on the other hand she is a Meta and 2 5* and a limited 4* is a pretty good pull for something you only get to do once. I suppose I should try to get her NP2 for LOOOOOPIIIIIIING Metafaggotry now.

>>1778366
I got fucked with a dupe Lady A on that banner. Was really hoping for that Skadi….

>>1778366
She's even stronger with aoko, with aoko summer Ibuki can do 1/1/x nodes like buster set ups but has a higher damage cap overall. I think it still loses to buster looping if they use Oberon

Was there no news this AX?

i wish for beni :>

>>1778369
>Mort
>Bakin
Neat, same Archer and Rider as i picked.
I got Shiki who did you get?

>The first Morgan absolutely devastated my quartz stores.
>The second Morgan came on the first tenroll during her rerun.
>Both Tonelicos cost 300 quartz today

My love and devotion paid off.

Fuck me my luck was bad this time, hopefully it's better when the summer event starts.
>>1778369
I wanted lady A and got a dupe Skadi, I wish we could swap them.

only got a Circe, terrible time. Hopefully that's my bad luck done with in time for summer

Man, you really ARE at the mercy for the Super/Great RNG for the 116-120 stretch. I had heard it was a chore, but actually doing it myself makes me not wanna do it for someone else any time soon.

>>1779450
I have 4 it's just a real slow burn. Hell I kinda wanted to leave my Spisthar at 110 since she was already outclassed while I was saving embers.

>>1779450
The flat 2x EXP for the welfares works but it still took all of my archives and all of that story ember dump from two years ago to do one all at once. Anyone else I do is going to need 6-9 months dedicated solely for them.

I really like anniversary.
Spent the whole day CE bombing. Got my 2nd super scope up. Gotta stock up on some more right now. Plus side I also restocked my servant coins for grail crafting.

>>1781196
Tfw I wasted 420 SQ trying to get her and got NP10 Jane instead

I knew freeing Vritra was a bad idea, once a no-goodnik always a no-goodnik

>>1779450
So far Gogh is the only servant I've liked enough to do the grind for. I spent so much time worrying about having enough coins I didn't realize it also takes 5 billion fucking embers.

https://youtu.be/wg9RiJv1fNY
any bros

yay :3

>lost all my 4chanx settings
>no-ones posted since saturday so I haven't missed any posts
never change guys

Dead week in general. Everyone picked their portraits in one day (nobody puts them on support). Everyone got or skipped Tonaelisc in one day. GSSR / Destiny rolls are kind of boring, no extreme happiness or salt.

/frog/ has their mystery niggas and the grand lancer debates but that's about it until Summer or jp Anni. I deliberately throttled advanced quests yet now I'm burning through them out of boredom.

>>1786273
i got pretty badly stung on all rolls desu

No aesc, just one or two poor spooks and like 30 xu fus
my Destiny Summon was Ereshkigal who I did want, just wanted Morgan or probably anyone else more
my GSSR was Britomart instead of Sen no Rikyu or Kukulkan

Doesn't help uma musume has taken a lot of my attention while I wait for the summer event

>>1786273
I got the most boring pull possible. Zenobia and Hephaestion are already NP5, but I guess getting an extra Ibuki and Merlin are sorta worth it.

>>1786377
I'm pretty sure they're trying to get us to spend all of our SQ before summer, my luck has been terrible since the ani started.

>>1786879
have 700 SQ so far. I'm out of the loop

Should I get 200 SQ quickly for summer if I don't have much supports. Only have aesc and skadi

how good is this summer unit or should I skip

>>1787005
The QRD is basically.

Berserker Castoria: one of the best ST-Berserkers/General Boss Killers, not the top on Ideal Single Turn Damage situations, but has high loopabillity and her Np comes with AE-Defense. Also comes with Summer Chloe on banner who is supposedly one of the best 4* Avengers. Good suite of Anti traits means she handles most Foreigners (Her Class Weakness) pretty well.

Ruler Melusine: People shill her, but she is ultimately a A-Tier NOOTRAL Arts Looper, Ruler Edition, Probably loses to Summer Ibuki (Who is getting a rerun this year BTW) in a pure meta sense but there is no shame in that, she is like Silver Medal of AoE-Arts Loopers right now i think? 80% charge BTW which means she can 100% charge herself with Append 2. Let's be real here, people are pulling her for Dragon Loli, the meta is probably just a bonus.

>>1787038
Also to add on Chloe, she is a Buster Support and has a built-in Order Swap (Sending herself to the last Slot like Crane, but better because it is a Skill and not a NP), and she won't be on the 4* Ticket coming up i think, so yeah, that banner is really good value with what is basically a new Meta Support for Buster (Not by replacement, but by Addendum due her built-in swap out).

The issue is that since the Banner is split 4* she is technically rarer then Berserker Castoria, and no Pity.

>>1787080
>she is a Buster Support
She's an all purpose support. A buster set-up gets most out of her. but she basically free attack, crit, and NP damage up at the start of battle that any team comp can use without getting in the way of support set-up.

>>1787107
Fair, i was kinda overthinking the Charge since Buster Looping is generally the most appreciative of charge skills to gain Loopability and enables some that previously couldn't manage it for 6CE 90++.

But yeah, General Support that has high Meta Value coming up, hell the way she is 4* makes her arguably even better since that makes her marginally cheaper for cost and even easier to slot in for that immediate bonus.

>>1787116
Her NP Charge isn't supper useful, since it requires you to hit things first and then cashout, and the cashout skill is tied to the NP damage up, but it does mean she can act as an alternative 50% battery for buster and quick looping, provided the node's first two parts have at least 5 enemies between them, and If I'm not mistaken she's the only 4 star that can do that.

>>1786273
Can't complain after my poor luck at the anniversary last year where I wasted about 300 quartz and the only gold servant I got was Nightingale. I got Aesc in three multi pulls, and got Charlie and Johanna for Destiny Summon and GSSR. Plus I got like 3 other gold servants I didn't had before. Hope I get either Bakatoria and/or Rulersine with the remaining quartz.

How long have you been able to sort support servants by support CE? I just noticed it the other day and it makes finding supports servants for grinding so much easier.

>>1788428
A patch or three ago.

>>1788428
Im honestly happy it was added because it used to be an ASS to find FP CEs for trash nodes (with low Bond gain) because everyone is Bondbrained. Even with this they aren't common, but at least they are easier to spot and there is less scrolling.

>>1788581
Why would you want FP CEs? I have like 3 million FP with nothing to do with it.

>>1788589
Like i said, trash-nodes, so basically the same reason one would pick the 200FP Story Support Servamt and then not use it in a fight, it adds up, just like with Bond, when you can basically get 200FP (a pull) from a node that is just trash anyway but you have to do anyway that's good, But UNLIKE Bond there is no real "This Node gives a fuckton of FP" that you do three times a day.

Obviously having a FP Alt or 24 and having people on your friendlist picking YOUR Bond/QP Castoria (or whatever) for all their needs is more efficient, but you can do all of them.

Im still at a point where i CE Bomb and stuff so i still feel the need to pull the FP Gacha, And it indirectly translates to Mana Prisms to boot if you Burn 3* stuff, if at a bad rate.

I feel that went well, i'll probably save the rest for NP3 after seeing if i can get S.Ibuki to NP2 on hers and try for NP3 with the remains if any. I thought the Saber Spook was more funny then demoralizing..

>>1781470
>managed to get back up to 60 SQ before Summer somehow
>only got 2 Summer Suzuka and a few event CEs with the SQ
>started rolling using tickets after that and got Summer Berserker on the 11th ticket
Feels weird desu

>2 alcas before kuro
bros...

>>1789075
Alcas? You mean altria zerker? Cause exactly the same thing happened to me, I got np2 Suzuka and Altria before I got Chloe...

>>1789075
>>1789098
She is split rate, so she is technically rarer then Cummer. That's why you do 10 Rolls first for this banner and tickets later, you WANT that 4* Guarantee, even though it will probably be Cactus.

>>1789051
>decided to waste the remaining tickets trying to get Oberon
>got him on the 11th ticket
I guess I can finally start saving for next year stuff

>>1789132
Didn't they make the split rate 4*s easier to summon? Or is that JP only atm?

>>1789155
IIRC:
5: 1% for a 5* Servant Card, 0.7% chance of that % to being the Servant, leaving 0.3% for spook.
4: Split: 3% of being a 4* 1.4% of that % of getting each Rate-Up leaving 0.2% for Spook.

That basically means that IF you pull a 5* you have odds in favor it is the Target but if you pull a 4* you are making a coinflip 50-50 each time (with a MINOR chance of a Off-Banner).

Basically, it is confimation bias. you are less likely to feel cucked by a Rainbow Sparkles then by Gold Sparkles. Plus, unlike 5* you don't get the Pity Safety.

I love this game.

>dumped everything I had
>1 Heracles
>2 Suzuka
>4 Chloe

fuck this shit. Couldn't even be kind and just throw a 5th chloe. Guess I should start saving for Uesegi Kenshin but the absolute fucking dire summer of summoning has really gutted me

Are there breast envy scenes for Passionlip?

>>1791113
If loving Kuro is wrong, then I belong on a list.

Hey bros, newfag here. I was thinking of getting into this game for awhile now so I wanted to ask if the new girl on the current banner is worth rerolling for or should I just start a new account as is?

Also how important is meta building in the game? Can I just waifu pull or do I have to wait for specific things to get far in the game?

>>1791376
Berserker Castoria? Yes, she is the best single target unit and the best unit from this summer.

>>1791376
>I wanted to ask if the new girl on the current banner is worth rerolling for or should I just start a new account as is?
She's pretty good. You can't go wrong with a solid 'zerker, especially early game.

>>1791376
>Also how important is meta building in the game? Can I just waifu pull or do I have to wait for specific things to get far in the game?
Not very. There's certain high end content having the right servants is vital, but that's not really a big deal. And most of the "meta" is just based around the most efficient way to farm materials. So go for waifu over anything else, and maybe look into meta. Though I will say, for the free 5 star you get at the start, if there's no servant that jumps out at you, Zhuge Liang is an S-tier support that can help you out a ton.

>>1791376
For clearing the main game you can use entirely F2P servants and have almost no struggle if you're smart about it. The only two real reasons to pull are "I need help with this ++node/challenge quest" or "awooga awooga".

>>1791397
God damn it, you guys crashed the server.

>700 quartz
>NP2 Melu, NP2 Barg, NP1 Bao
>250 quartz left
I got time before the banner ends to decide if I dump the rest of it, was hoping for at least an NP4 but I know from experience how badly burning the last of your quartz can go. Are there even any worthwhile servants for the next year or so?

I got spooked by Avenger Nito instead

Man, they really went all out for the summer NPs this year.

>>1791734
Ciel, apparently. There are others who aren't esports but aren't bad either if you like them.

Reminder that being attracted to Mel is pedophilia, zoophilia, and necrophilia all rolled into one.

>>1792115
Hot
What if I'm attracted to Kuro as well, is that just paedophilia or is liking any servant automatically necrophilia since all servants are technically dead (even if it's in the future for modern servants)?

>>1792115
Also if liking this is illegal then lock me up!

>>1789959
First 30 quartz pull after the banner, Im so happy bros. Now to try getting Baobah, either way back to the grinding mines post summerfest.

nasu's fucking giantess fetish

>>1791376
OP of the post above. Still on my reroll venture. Definitely keeping this one if I don’t get Zerktoria by the time her banner leaves. Any other combinations to look out for?

>>1794145
>Any other combinations to look out for?
What do you mean by combinations?

>>1794173
4* servants to look out for. I heard that herc and Nito are the best from the lineup available. But don’t know much about the others.

>>1794179
Well, there's Chole, who's on the banner with Zerktoria, Helena Blavatski in the general pool, Habetrot, who is unlocked in the friendpoint summon after you reach a certain point in the story, and Kintoki Rider, who is an old event servant you can buy with Evocation Leaves in Da Vinci's shop.

>>1794145
The 2 waifu summer banners have good units on them aside the 5 stars, MikoCer is a very fun unit due to buff extension, UDK Barghest can switch between single target or AOE NP, Chloe is a pretty good universal support, Suzuka is is the weakes of them but still a good unit. The Oberon banner is a fantastic support, but the 4 stars on it are not as good as the other limited banners and you can get them from the general pool if you'reinterested. Lancelot is the best of the bunch but you can also get Saber Hokusai with Evocation Leaves if you want a ST saber, and their damage is very similar (although if you go for Zerkertoria you might not need either). Tez is also a pretty good unit but you might want to get the limited 4 stars on the other banners first.

>>1794179
as far as 4*s go, the Evocation Leaf store has some pretty solid ones. Even the poorer ones will fill niches for you. Currently, the best of the released ones are:

Rider Kintoki - Whilst Ushiwakamaru is really good at 3*, Kintoki does have better stats as a 4*. He's just a really solid ST hitter in a class which is more focused towards AoE

Foreigner Mysterious Idol X - Foreigner is an interesting class and offers a defence against Berserkers. It's good because there are no others easy to get a hold of

Assassin Scathach - 3* and below Assassins are notoriously dogshit for damage. Scathach can do some damage to Rider bosses for you

Berserker Jeanne Alter - For a Berserker, she hits decently hard. Waifu factor carries hard too

Saber Hokusai - A good ST Saber is also required, Saber Elizabeth Bathory isn't bad either

Coming in the future, the welfares to keep an eye out for are:

Archer Chloe - She's just really solid. ST Archer isn't a lacking field, but she is better all-round than say Robin Hood, Billy or Euryale

Assassin Shiki - See Scathach above

Alter-Ego Mecha Elly - Not a massive requirement, but good for Anti-Foreigner coverage. More offensive than Xu Fu too

Moon Cancer BB - You can already get her by completing the side-chapter SERAPH, but she's one of a very select few that counter Avenger enemies

Lancer Yu-Mei Ren - Good ST Lancer with a great anti-male niche

Assassin Thrud/Hildr/Ortlinde - Unironically one of the best AOE Assassins in the game

Alter Ego Taisui Xinjun - I love the little guy, he tears waves with 1 big enemy to shreds

Saber Iori - A beast of a servant

There's others for coverage as well (Iyo and Da Vinci for Ruler, Mysterious Ranmaru X for Avenger and 9 Dragon Tattoo Elly for Pretender) but they're not as vital as the others imo

On the whole, don't worry about 4*s.3*s can be good enough to fill up any gaps

>>1794183
>>1794418
>>1794490
Thanks bros will keep all this in mind

My rerolling ventures come to an end bros! Looking forward to shooting the shit here every so often going forward. Thanks for the advice so far!

>>1750160
Speaking of that, the summer cup is starting this saturday for us, here is our schedule >>1790555 and roster >>1785994 .Thanks for the support

>>1794684
Good luck getting through the story, the early stuff is a bit rough but it gets way better.

>>1794684
Zerktoria will carry you well, all you need is some servants that can support her survivability and buff her

>>1795611
>>1795619
So far Zhuge Liang and some friend supports have made her shine like crazy. The summer event has been a breeze with her.

>>1794684
Save for oct when a rerun of morgan and Castoria comes out. Nothing else is worth summoning this year unless you love a unit. You should have enough to get pity if you save, dont summon and do story only

>>1794684
It feels weird seeing a new player.

>>1796098
I saw a vid recommended to me the other day of this chick and I’m absolutely hooked. Do you know when she’ll have a banner?

>>1796413
Christmas of next year.

>>1796423
Holy shit…well at least her pity is guaranteed lol.

Any supports that’ll make her shine that I should get between now and her banner?

I hear the word looping thrown around and am wondering who I need to make that possible with her.

>>1796457
She's pretty much built for looping. Having a quick NP means you need to go with the Skadi's. Scáthach-Skadi and her summer version will do you fine, and her summer version is actually getting a banner within a week or so. You should only need 1 with a Skadi support, but having both means you can tripple Skadi and make it stronger, it's up to you. Best start grinding out those story missions.

>>1796457
>>1796478
Also, if you can't get her this summer, or want to get both, the regular Skadi has a banner this christmas.

>>1796487
Hmm, that’s a damn shame she’s close by. Currently clearing out the shop at the moment for the current event. I might just skip out on the summer version this time around and save the pity amount for regular Skadi coming Christmas.

I assume the summer version will be back next summer so I’ll just snag her then and Louhi afterwards.

>>1796497
>>I assume the summer version will be back next summer so I’ll just snag her then and Louhi afterwards.
Unfortunately she won't be back on a banner until January 2027. You do have chance to get her on the guaranteed SSRs, but that requires real world money and you only get one shot each time. I wouldn't worry about clearing out the shop. Aside from the CEs, ascension materials for the welfare, the gold fous, and a few late game mats (Ether Photon Converger, Obsidian Blade, Scales of Fantasies, and Eternal Ice), and since you're so early in the game the evocation leafs and maybe the Hellfire exp cards, you shouldn't need to worry about the rest as you'll get plenty as you play through the story. But, it's up you how you want to play it. As I said, you should be fine with 1 skadi and a friend support, and can always add to it.

>>1796521
>and can always add to it.
*and Zhuge Liang (Lord El-Melloi II) can always add to it.

>>1796521
>Unfortunately she won't be back on a banner until January 2027.

Unfortunate but it’s not that far off from Louhi’s release so I’ll think I’ll wait. The pity is kinda ridiculous already and blowing my story SQ load and not getting summer Skadi in a few days will definitely hurt a lot.

>>1796528
>*and Zhuge Liang (Lord El-Melloi II) can always add to it.

That’s good, he’s been helping Zerktoria shine a lot even with his skills not fully maxed yet.

Thanks for the info by the way.

>>1796636
FGO is very generous with free SQ, but absolutely unforgiving in rolling. The fact that we even got a pity system all feels like a small miracle.

>Thanks for the info by the way.
No problem, happy to help.

>>1796636
By the way, for reference, here are the top support servants in their various categories, and what section to find them:

Buster: Koyanskaya of Light (assasssin), followed by Merlin (caster)

Arts: Alria Caster aka Castoria (caster), followed by Lady Avalon and Xu Fu (extra). Xu Fu is a 3 star you can get in the friend point summon, and I highly recommend leveling up her skills.

Quick: The Skadis as mentioned (caster and extra)

General: Zhuge Liang (caster) and Sima Yi (rider), with Zhuge Liang leaning more offensive and Sima Yi leaning more defensive

There's also Oberon (extra), who's shtick is gassing a servant up like crazy for a single turn, then leaving them completely burned out and useless for the rest of the fight

I thought this cover was gonna be some sort of cutesy picture, not huyan zhuo looking like she's about to offer me a RTX 5090.
For a girl with confidence issues or whatever she sure draws herself in a very interesting way.

>>1796646
After seeing some other gacha games out there, I think I'll take the 'unfair' rolling and pity of FGO if it means all of our units are useful for pretty much the entire game. Nothing pisses me off more than games where the design philosophy is that only the highest rank units are actually any good at all, or games where you need dupes of a unit to get their full functionality and kit.

>>1796792
It's honestly great how useful some 1-3*s are. Andersen and Xu Fu are solid supports, Chen Gong and Arash have meme builds, then several 3*s can act as decent damage dealers like Cu Chulainn and Ushi

>>1797010
Learning that Asterios can be used to stall a fight even at the 'endgame' is why I stuck with FGO in the first place.

>>1797010
Don't forget Euryale casually outdamaging almost all other ST archers.

>>1796782
The thighs on it are insane, especially her right one, it looks off.

Also, what did Berserker Artoria say after completing all the event missions? I wasn't paying attention and the translations of her event voices haven't been added to the wiki yet.

>>1798498
Robin Hood isn't too shabby either. I like my Tomoe Gozen for ST archers personally, but both of them are high on my list

>being able to comfortably 3-turn the 90++ node
Feels good.

Hey bros is there a pity in place for the 4* servants? I've been trying to get MikoCer and keep getting the other 4* on the banner. Wondering if I should cut my losses at this point.

>>1799839
nope there's no pity for 4* servants, plus split banners like that are significantly worse if you are unlucky like yourself.

>>1799855
Damn. Welp Barghest is NP3 so I’ll just leave it at that for now. Maybe next time I’ll get MikoCer

>>1796792
It's weird but every other gacha game I'm hurting for roll currency even when I'm barely rolling on any banner. I'm like 1-2 SSR character banners away from poverty.
FGO on the other hand? Sitting on enough quartz, tickets, and frags to pity the next five 5* characters as a f2p, even have every meta support since Merlin.

>>1789151
>>1791851
>got enough ticket to do 10 single roll after monthly shop refresh
>S.Melu on the last ticket
Kinda weird I got 4 5* from ticket rolls after that a waste of 420 SQ

>essentially exhausted all quartz for 0 Zerktorias
>still got like 8 11-pulls before pity
god damn it. This year has been fucking dreadful for summoning

>Tapping Mash for August voicelines
>"Hyaahh!"
I jumped

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11vAh33_2eI
Pretty cool

Is there specific nodes that give better currencies for the doujin quests? I'm always short of the curries, even if I load up on the CE's for them

>>1802290
https://fategrandorder.fandom.com/wiki/FGO_Summer_2025_Event_(US)#Free_Quests

Look for the arrows in the notable drops section of each quest.

>>1802330
ta. Swear this summer is the grindiest so far

I got Eresh AND Draco in the destiny summon...that's odd

>>1802556
It happens sometimes. GSSRs means all those servants are added to the pool and you're guaranteed AT LEAST 1. But if the stars align for you to get another 5 star draw, and it's not a generic pool spook, it can be any of the servants you've selected.

the king's retarded son has such breedable hips

>>1800522
>got 30 SQ
>decided to waste it trying to get Summer Skadi
>somehow actually got her

So what was everyone favorite Summer Event anyway? I think i actually like Chaldea Thriller Night the best.

>>1805416
That is a strong contender, I liked the Da Vinci one too, Goredolf always elevates an event

>>1805416
Chaldea Thriller Night then Dead Jail Summer Escape.

>First ever banner was Avalon fairies
>Despite wanting Baobhan the most I got showered with Barghests, stopped counting at 10 copies

>Fast foreword to today
>I'm at NP5 Summer Barghest before I get a single copy of the other girls
This is becoming weird.

>>1805416
I liked Vegas's girls the most. 5 had a great atmosphere. Out of 3 through 8 I think 7 is the only weak one.

>>1805416
From what I played, I would rank them like this:
>Chaldea Adventure
>1st ServaFes
>Las Vegas
>Chaldea Thriller Night
>2nd Servafes
>Artic Summer
I liked most of them for different reasons, probably Artic Summer is the weakest one for me due to being the weakest concept. Chaldea Adventure is the best one given the amounts of Blackbeard and Goredolf on it.

>got 10 new servants in a month
RIP my QP.

At least Summer in 2 years time doesn't look too killer, can dump all on the Anni servant instead

Annoyingly, Shiki is the one that looks the best

>>1809709
For me it is Crane, im getting Diebuster-vibes from that Space Ascension. Not what i expected but it does kinda make sense i guess? It looks cool from what i seen at least.

>>1809757
I've also just seen Shark Kriemhild and how Siegfried has a shark outfit in the NP, I am also now going for that too

I was worried but then learned Huyan Zhuo is the welfare, that's great. I won't need to roll for Part 1 and 3 and just aim for Miyu.

Well I got Shiki in a couple rolls, no Miyu though

God I hate when I need to run a stall team.

What's a team to run against Flare Marie? This shit is exhausting.

>>1814376
>>1814345 here, I ran Mash, Jean, and Castoria. Took a while, but I got it.

30 turns total. I could have done it faster if I remembered how much NP some skills regained for my lesser used servants.
The one thing actually disappointing is UDK. She felt so lack luster for the Saber node.
Marie only needed 2 turns of stalling to get CDs off from Fox NP cycling. Zerktoria really does change the game. Went with her, Fox and Merlin (F) for a simple kill.
Had to use 2 command spells to get NPs to fire off. And I mean if you have them might as well use them.

god i fucking hate these timed battles in Traum

why is it 10 servants I need to kill, why not a multiple of 3?

>>1814376
I found it pretty easy even with loading up so i had every single Bond CE, my take away is you can pretty much get away with 50% Charge CEs and class advantage for mos of the kdes, the real trip-ups are: The Twin Suns Node, The 3-turns Evasion node (Cause you won't see it coming in the team building menu) and of course Flare Marie. so that should be your prioritized nodes,n

I'd put your Castoria (You DO have an Castoria right?) on Flare as prio 1 for team building and make sure to overcharge her NP when it is used so it can soak the AoE attacks and Flares NP, then just have a hard hitting ST Arts. Summer Castoria is the obvious choice here if you have her. Im pretty sure you can just do immortal team here too.

>>1814764
My problem is that I don't actually have much or any of the meta supports, or super batshit cores to my knowledge.

>>1814800
That does make things iffier,I think Castoria is getting a Rate-Up this fall so you might consider going for her in the future, pretty sure she is still practically Top Dog in JP. There are gonna be more of these and having one of your own isn't a bad idea for when you can't borrow one (like this situation).

That said, i think you should consider what servants you have that can provide invuln/evade then.

Finally beat the gauntlet, was consistently almost winning with Izo vs. Flarie but wanted to get on with doing other shit.
>>1814819
Yeah, I'd love to get Castoria, or any of the supports who are really good at enabling cores really. Best I have are Merlin, Waver and Crane(?)

>>1814862
>>1814800
You can get Summer DaVinci Lily sometime next spring assuming they rerun Summer 6 like JP. I don't remember if Summer Martha comes out in the big Santa welfare batch or not. Lower rarity supports can still make a difference too.

>>1816235
is she really that good of a support? I know she can buff and battery but her real use is being a readily available ST Ruler

>>1818059
>Party NP Damage Up
>Party Overcharge
>ST NP charge and NP gain
>ST rainbow buff
>Random support effect on NP
There is a lot of 20% but she still makes many farming teams work. She doesn't have any defensive utility (other than a crit down), which is the main difference between a 4* or lower support and a 5*, but the provided roster list included Merlin anyway. People used Caster Gil and Helena for years and Da Vinci has more buffs, in exchange for no skilled party np charge.

>>1818059
>is she really that good of a support? I know she can buff and battery but her real use is being a readily available ST Ruler
Oh SURE bro, I'm always hankering for that ST Ruler action.

>>1818418
everyone knocks it until BB turns up

Dragon loli made me reevaluate my impression on Rulers desu. With double castoria she three turns smoother than butter. Fuck, maybe I should give Caren another look.

>>1818891
tbf I think Summer Mel could be a great unit in any class

Darn, I got Holmes

Two full weeks of farming embers and I'll barely get my 120 project to 109.

Any idea on when Marie Alter shows up? I thought she'd come up sometime after this summer but apparently I misremembered the JP timeline

>>1825270
Should be sometime Early Spring Next Year since she is OC2, the rest of this year is basically all Events if i got it right. I'd say after/around Valentine/White Day IIRC.

>>1825328
Yeah, the Grail Front and Guda Guda event drop like 7 servants between them this year. Honestly looking forward to the new 3*s Grail Front bring, are they added to the general pool or are they event banner locked like Mori Nagayoshi?

>>1825270
March next year. It's between the Samurai Remnant and Mahoyo events if either of them interest you

>NP5 Kriem
>0 Wandjina
The worst part is I really needed an ST Berserker and I already have a harem of Arts supports for her. I literally cannot complain without looking like a spoiled brat.

The handholding is even more blatant than the feet event.

>>1827764
i mean, you're not getting closeup pictures of every servants hands in this event are you?

they CANNOT keep getting away with the giantess stuff

I instaled this game a year ago i pulled this nigga and later I found out he's the rarest possible pull in the game. But I unistalled the game so he's lost forever lol.

>>1830681
And nothing of value was lost.

>>1830681
I got him after about two years. I maxed him five years later but I never went hard on fp summons outside of Lanning or Nobukatsu. Saber Lily and Habetrot didn't come for 3-6 months but after that they were maxed in a year.

Yes he's the rarest, but also not really because you get millions of fp summons.

>>1830760
Who is the actual hardest to max servant, someone like Fujino?

>>1830858
4*s need a lot of dupes to truly max and 4*s that are not limited need many times the copies that a limited like Fujino would need.

Then there are limited and storylocked 3*s that are extremely rare, rarer than 5*s and split 4*s, who didn't retroactively get coins for copies like gold servants did, and who need exponentially more copies than even general pool SRs. They also always need quartz or tickets to roll for.

>>1830681
He isn't actually that rare depending on how much FP you are pulling in, if you have a FP Farming alt idling on Nox or whatever you'll get him at NP5 soon enough since you can get practically get infinite Pulls depending how much you commit to it.

The actual thing is that he is practically useless (as per lore).

>>1830858
Arguable, on one hand they need more copies, on the other IF they get a banner you get a good chance from 10 pull making the guarantees align, provided it is a Solo 4*, but it IS still a lot of copies needed and there are a lot of 4* fighting for banner spots and it often being Split banners. Fujino got it rough but i think she been featured more in JP due the crossovers and Grand Banners.

>That's a cute servant you got there master!
>Would be a REAL SHAME if she needed...
>45 of me.

>>1831729
Non issue for me. HOWEVER! I had bad luck with IRL stuff always getting in the way when there is a Page Lotto.

There is a gamefreezing bug on most accounts regarding the 4* ticket for new servants. It persists even when closing the game.
Make sure you have your password and current transfer code ready just in case.

>>1832218
What's the bug, I already grab altria alter earlier with the ticket?

>>1831729
White cubes motherfucker

>>1832218
It's only for clearing bleached earth free quests with them in your party, and it appears to have been fixed already.

So who did you guys pick?

>>1833062
Gorgon. Avenger Privilege and my Hessian Lobo is capped.

>>1833062
It was either going to be Kijyo or Barghest, but I ended up going with Barg. Every LB6 servant deserves a home.

>>1833062
et cetera et cetera

>>1833062
I'm still on the fence between like 5 different options. Leaning towards Tamamo Cat just because it'll put her at NP5.

>>1833062
Hephaestion, I needed a ST Pretender to fill out the roster

not a single person proofread this

another castoria banner, another bundle of wasted quartz with nothing to show for it

except my astolfo is NP4 i guess

>>1833062
Summer Corday

>>1834352
the 'confirm' button for the notification when your servant becomes permanent in this event is also still in japanese

CASTORIA!! Finally
>>1833062
Summer Wu, I swear I wasted like 200 quartz on her banner

Who's up first, Ptolemy or Kenshin?

>>1841916
Grailfront with Ptolemy

>>1841967
oh thank god, my quartz pile is crap

hehe I love this lil dragon.

Need some advice. I want to run an arts looping team but I can’t fucking stand Ibuki’s design. Anyone else peak at looping with arts?

>>1857218
Space Ishtar, Summer Melusine, and Summer Musashi.

>>1857218
Also Summer Kama, maybe Summer Kiara

>>1773721
Relatable

Also I would die for Gareth. I somehow got 3 summer Gareth's in that many 30 pulls. I am a welfare player so she is now my muse, my flame. I love Gareth so much it's unreal.

>>1857218
If you don’t mind a dude then Tez is a good option. His rerun banner is dropping next month iirc.

>>1857218
Summer Kama was my first taste of "wait I can farm these in three turns?". Also surprisingly decent against bosses.

>this thread still exists
>it's like 5 months old
holy shit

>>1859071
amazing what happens when schizos aren't spamming 24/7

>>1859071
FGO has three active generals on this site. At least one of them needed to be the slow one.

>>1859433
What are the other two generals?

>>1861240
I assume they mean the normal and alter ones on /vg/, normal meaning the jp thread and alter being the global one.
>>1859198
swimsuit nemo professor when?

>>1861240
>>1861274
That is what I mean. This is basically the thread for people that want more chill and laid back discussion.

feels like grail front has been building up forever

>>1864732
I was sure it was gonna start the other day but it didn't.

NO MY AP

>>1863256
too big

This grail front is story event? Well that fucking sucks.
At least that archer chick from traum is finally here.

Nice got Ptolemy in 2 tickets

>>1865625
Is he any good?

>>1865838
No idea. Not planning on using him since I hardly have any materials for the servants I do use but gamepress puts him in A tier so I would think he's pretty good

>Saw gold Archer card
>It's just Atalante dupe
I hate this shit game gacha so much

>>1865838
Having ST or AoE NP depending on Ascension which is also changeable with 3rd skill looks fun at least

>>1866339
being able to go back to ST is something I wished Melusine was able to do so this is nice

Playing Grail Fronts make me want an SRPG Fate game, there's tons you could do

>>1867728
I think Grail Fronts are really cool, but yeah, unless FGO were an actual strategy game the novelty would probably wear off after a while.

>>1867733
yeah it'd need to be designed with SRPG gameplay in mind

Would need a bigger scope than just 'fire emblem with servants' too, like have Noble Phantasms have the broad effects we see them have in stories like
>Excalibur being able to be used to destroy terrain to open up new entry points
>Ivan being able to be set down somewhere to spam spawn Operichnik units
>Shakespeare's NP being able to turn areas of the map into recreations of something else
and so on. The only downside is it's such a broad scope it'd never happen

Is there a strategy game with something close to the grail front rules? The only similar game with formations I can think of is Yggdra Union and I never quite meshed with it.
