This is going to be a trend, isn't it? With everyone at home, we're going to burst right through these raids. I only got like three raids against Assassin of Black because I had to go to sleep, and then by the time I could get to the next partition, they were all deader than doornails.

Looks like the Atalanta/Fran/Spartacus wave is ramped way up in terms of "battles remaining" (whatever metric this actually is) compared to the Jack/Bill/Avice wave.

Did one 10-roll on the event banner...

Min Roll and not even a single event CE.

Yeah, it seems like this round (the current round that's about to end) is going to last a solid 12 hours since it opened, possibly a little longer. Going forward from here, the raids should be a lot more accessible than the initial ones.

JP's finally got a 5* ticket in their next download milestone. One of twenty-five unlimited Servants, and you have to Ascend them once and get a couple of Bond levels with them so they don't vanish after May; but if Jack, Sanzang, or Waver's eluded you thus far, now's a great chance to pick one of them up!

(Also I forgot that Achilles is actually an unlimited Servant)

Everyone out here waiting to get Waver or someone similarly high tier while I'm fretting over what to do if I don't have at least one of Jeanne or Jinako by that time

Mordred banner was a TOTAL bust. 115 pulls, only got four 4* Servants (three Atlantes and a Tomoe Gozen) and three 5* CEs (three copies of Vessel of the Saint) and that was it. Mostly duplicates, awful rates. Well, that was a total waste, I definitely should have saved some of that for Summer Ibaraki, but sunk cost fallacy. Ooooh weeeell.

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #97 on:** April 26, 2020, 05:09:43 AM »

Man I would stab someone for three Atalantas and a Tomoe Gozen

Sympathies, though, in all seriousness.

Aya Reiko · « **Reply #98 on:** April 27, 2020, 06:50:14 AM »

I'm waiting for the Jack-solo banner to go for broke (so to speak), but I've been tossed my tickets at the Jeanne/Jack banner (nothing of worth to report).

commandercool · « **Reply #99 on:** April 29, 2020, 08:16:44 PM »

Lancelot is sooo close to being able to consistently one-turn-clear the Lancer raid on the current wave of raids. It just comes down to a damage roll.

Someone pls tell Chiron that (a) he needs to spawn at all, and (b) when he spawns he needs to drop bullets instead of horns

(Same @ Semiramis except with chains)

Here's the multi-million QP question; Illya or Sanzang?

I have both and debating on who's skills should I max first. Illya hits harder and has survivability options, while Sanzang can rapid-fire NPs, but lacks survivability of her own (and has a taunt skill w/ Damage Cut).

Generally go for Sanzang first; and prioritize her S1 and S3. Taunt isn't all that great on her thanks to her frail HP.

Illya has survivability, but she can only fire off her NP twice (assuming Debuff Immune procs off of Suspicious Medicine) before she starts suffering large falloff due to the NP demerit.

Both of them rely largely on NPs for damage, so Sanzang tends to win out whenever Illya has to fire off three or more NPs to kill the enemy.

commandercool · « **Reply #103 on:** May 01, 2020, 05:06:12 AM »

Sanzang's taunt is basically another NP battery since if you're using her you're presumably fighting Assassins and they tend to have high hit counts. I like her a lot and would definitely prioritize her, but I have a buddy who's a huge Illya proponent and I haven't used her much so maybe she's way way better than I give her credit for.

Attempts to complete the "Little Ones Trio" failed. Got a new Avicebron, NP4'd Astolfo and Nursery Rhyme, NP3'd Sumanai, and Rare Prismed Fran (which I used to get my own MLB'd Mona Lisa).

Ionasal kkll Solciel · « **Reply #105 on:** May 01, 2020, 05:16:24 AM »

Also failed at pulling murderdaughter; only notable was NP6 Astolfo.

Nobu! NobuNobuNobu?

GudaGuda Restoration Lite is coming up; May 8th to 19th.
So basically it'll start immediately after the Apocrypha event ends.

edit-
Now that I think of it... Shouldn't the Soundtrack section have been expanded/updated by now?

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #107 on:** May 12, 2020, 04:48:45 PM »

Shame on me, I actually lost the CQ the first time around this time ;_;

Toshizo's HP numbers look buffed from last year - I remember his final form having 800K, not the 1M it is now. Must be because of the extra Wolves of Mibus older players probably have, as well as Abby and Hokusai being available.

Ugh I've been waiting to buy Stormfang and Grand Battle (Japanese Arrange) for forever

Aya Reiko · « **Reply #108 on:** May 14, 2020, 07:31:36 PM »

That challenge quest was easy. Abby, Original flavor Mash, and a Support Merlin w/ Wolves on everyone but Abby (who had Sumo) and the Merlin (who had Fortress of the Sun).
No one lost more than 10-15% of their health which Merlin promptly healed. Toshizo loved to use buff skills... which Abby's NP got rid of them all. (Extra headpats and pancakes for her.)

There's a lot of variety you can use against a Male Berserker boss, which is half the fun of the CQ. Foreigners are a completely unfair matchup against him - Abby for buff purge or Hokusai to grind in the Anti-Man NP on top of increasing Defense Downs; Euryale or Orion for Anti-Male memes; hell, both this one and the last time I did this, I ran a Hijikata mirror match for the lulz.

Aya Reiko · « **Reply #110 on:** May 20, 2020, 06:05:15 AM »

Restoration Lite has concluded. Murder at the Kogetsukan is live. Incidentally, no downtime. (So no apologems.)
Soundtrack has been expanded to include EoR Arcs/Events. (EMIYA Shimosa ver. Getto!)
With it, the Sherlock Holmes banner is live too. I'm holding onto my SQ for the last chance to get Kiyo-Lancer (if we do get that banner).

"Stheno is your hot college friend" :)
"She's getting married to Mordred instead of you" :(

EDIT: Feeling slightly less nervous about my ability to deduce the culprit since I correctly identified what happened to the necklace (even though the game never actually asks the player). I do wonder if they'd change the scenario and culprit from the the scenario JP got, though? Surely they know how online and obsessed their player base is.

To be fair, the person you're roleplaying isn't exactly in a good position to be married to Juliet.

Early Melt animation updaaaatttteee

Lancelot's getting reunited with his F-15J (pre-RIP Hasteja farming with double Skadi)

Illya's gonna get an Include

Finally getting Lu Bu's bow

...the devs are spoiling us, though I admit I'm very surprised they didn't just pack this into the engine update instead.

Aya Reiko · « **Reply #115 on:** May 24, 2020, 06:01:49 AM »

Time to wait to see if we're right on who we thought the true culprit is...

Man, I have been having a blast with this event. Super fun. Would love to see more stuff like it, although I don't know how they would do something "like it" without just doing the same thing again.

My only guess is
