What you guys thinking of the story so far?

Anyone rolling in this banner should realize that (1) Ozy is literally the best Rider in the game so far even in JP and (2) Saberlot is the best arts saber in the game and basically a 5* disguised as a 4*.

Lancelot's skills allows him to produce 75 stars in 3 turns with 6 turns cooldown when level 10. One gives 30 at once and the other 15 stars for 3 turns. He has good NP gain and decent star production and a good ST NP. Pair him with Tamamo and Caster Gil and you have nonstop arts critting.

 

I had to use a command seal to kill Gorilla

Spoiler

Gwain at gates,

at least I "killed" him on the first try. Jeanne, David, and Euryale are a decent comp.

I am quite liking the story so far, America was so straightforward that was boring. Jalter 2.0 and Mebd are evil and must be stopped, you fight a random daemon pillar in the end and the theme and servants were all over the place. This one feels more personal because of the involvement of Arturia, Da Vinci, and Mash and I am finding backstory of this singularity and the deal with Lucius Malfoy interesting.

More options during the dialogue would be nice, less Mr afraid to kill after 5 singularities and more Magus approach.

 

I haven't started the Camelot singularity, as I started my break in the middle of the American one. From what I've heard though, I have high hopes for it. The American one is...lacking.

 

Except Cu Alter and Karna, I liked it a lot .Quite fun if verborrhagic.

 

My favorite Singularity so far. Apocalyptic done well is my bread and butter. Love the Sphinx-mobile and the music. Still making my way to Jerusalem.

I might have to pull for Lancelot now that you mention it. Well, I've Okita but still. Arts are my main advantage. Wouldn't mind getting Ozy and Nitocris while I'm at it.

Ugh. And Squirtoria's coming up (thou again, rather dislike summer designs). And I want Ishtar + Old Man, will probably skip out on Merlin this time as I've Waver.

 

Squirtoria is the best arts archer in the game, and saberlot the best arts saber. You have to find which you like most since the four banners you want are really close to each other (Lancelot and Summer 2 should be at most one month and a half of difference, while Ishtar - Christmas - and Old Man - Post New Year - are even less). In your place I would set a budget for Squirtoria (150-300 quartz), blow the rest here and then save for Rinshtar/Old Man. But keep in mind that on average to get those three 5* you would need 900 quartz.

But eeh, you can blow it and hope for the best. Of those Saberlot has the most rate ups, but always shared with other 4* as far as I'm aware, Archuria only gets one more try (as of now, but like Tamamo Lancer just cameback, she prolly will too) and its in one year. Old Man and Rin are rare and usually unexpected non-fixed events.

 

Yea, I rarely blow. I'll likely just set a budget to spend sparingly (ritualistically pull hours apart, once or two at a time) and let luck decide.

 

How is Kuro compared to Archuria?

 

Apparently very good. Her NP gen lags behind Archuria but she has better crit gen and at NP5 lv90 is supposed to outdamage NP2 Archuria.

 

Kuro is significantly less reliable for shooting her NP over and over, and has a 4* stats but is NP5, but overall she's a fantastic substitute and can crit much more than Archuria. You won't miss Archuria much with her, specially if you grail Kuro.

 

Might do that instead.

Has anyone ever tried activating an evade skill and it didn't go through? Is there a preemptive debuff that can be cast I'm just not paying attention to?

 

I've noticed a few skills not being applied intermittently since update despite all having 100% chance activation. Evades, arts/quick/buster effectiveness up, and Tamamo's defense skill.

There were no debuffs up that would have prevented them, so perhaps a small glitch?

 

Haven't noticed it, but I'll keep an eye out.

Anyone else notice that there seem to be a fuckload of new interludes available? I had like 4 available to do before the update, and now there's like 20. Did they lower requirements for them? Because there are definitely some available that I hadn't ascended yet. Not that I'm complaining, that's a bunch of free quartz.

 

It is bugged. It says you can but when you click on it doesn't let you do it.

 

There is, but I don't think it's in NA yet.

 

While all 3 gold servants in current banner are good (Nitocris is one of the best farmer) its also worth nothing that all 3 can spook you in the future, hence I choose for Squirtle.

Story is great. The most solid story so far by a wide margin. Then again this singularity was written by Nasu himself.

 

Can I just say that I hate you Strange, for getting Arturia like 3 times.

 

Haha, no worries.

It's taken her from being "meh" into being probably my best farming servant, her NP hits like a truck.

 

Ow gawd, I just realized you lvl’d your Stheno

 

Bwahahaha.

Got a friend who's waifu is Euryale, got into a discussion about how the 4* of the sisters is absolutely and without a doubt the most worthless of the bunch. So I said "Fuck it, I'll level her." she's there purely for the Lulz.
