Apparently the edgelord's event is rerunning after this one. Same details save for story clearers getting a specialized challenge for them.

Another chance at getting him; I'm still not going to bother because of his artwork.

Ok.

Farming Dangos is tiring.

It seems like it would be intolerable without having one of the 5* CEs on almost every party member (or every one in my case). But with 5 of the +3 dango CEs plus the +100% dango one (which is a bit better than the +3 one when doing the 40AP quests) I get a couple hundred dangos from every 40AP quest run. The last 40AP quest was giving me about 225-250 regular dangos each time.

I'm almost done buying almost everything that uses the regular dangos (except the 5000 dango CE, though I already have one before the event so I don't need to buy it). What is the ideal way to farm the golden ones? I'm doing the first 40AP quest and figure I'll convert the regular ones to golden ones once I finish buying all the regular dango rewards in the shop.

It's nice how the first 40AP dango quest can also drop Hearts. i've gotten 4 I think, in addition to the 10 from the shop. It's also nice the shop gives pages also, though I need even more due to both Waver and Merlin using them for their skills.

edit: nm I looked it up, it's Dante

Oh wait, that's lame, this event doesn't even have a shop to get materials? Summon tickets are okay I guess but I'd rather get mats.

It's not a grinding event, it's a challenge one. It was made solely for players who were caught up at the time to give them something to challenge them since the game was pretty drat easy by all accounts.

This did not change that you could still beat it pretty easily and with the game the way it is now I can't imagine it not being piss easy. This is also probably more of an excuse to give people another chance to get Edmond since he only had one chance to get him last year aka the original run of this event meanwhile Jalter got like three.

I like his character design, but his skills seem kinda lame. And 2 Quick cards (plus a Quick NP) despite having low star gen).

Is the reason why the MC from F/GO is called Gudao/Gudako because "GUrando ooDAa" (the "gu" from "gurando" and "da" from "oodaa")?

Pretty much yeah.

Also he's solid and an avenger class servant is never bad to have, but if you're looking at things from a practical perspective you're gonna want Jalter more since she's one of the best servants in the game.

I've been browsing the wiki just looking at various servants, and Caster Gilles seems like possibly the shittiest servant I've come across. He has one skill that seems potentially good/interesting until you notice that it dispels on stunning (it has an X% chance to stun each turn for 5 turns).

They're not officially called Guda(k)o. But yes. Mostly.

To elaborate a bit:
Previous to the release of Grand Order, TM comissioned Keikenchi (who draws Koha-Ace) to do a comic to hype FGO, which became Fate/Guda Guda Order, featuring Nobu and Okita (and Medusa). I assume it's Guda Guda because Guda's a corruption of Grand (Gurando).

While it was always basically a comedy with a half-assed feel, as the release date got pushed back and the serialization extended it got more and more whatever-ish. At one point they introduced the protags, and when questioned for their names, they went "uh... Gudao and Gudako?". (The joke being the obvious placeholderiness of those names)

It caught on with the fanbase, so here we are.

Official name is Ritsuka Fujimaru because of the First Order anime. Name's used for both the male and female MCs because they're the same person anyway.

For Extella? I feel like a PC release could happen but I feel like if it did you'd be waiting a good while for one. Ask god to throw you a PS4 from the sky and have it come with the Mash VR game.

Come to think of it, even after buying literally everything in the shop except the 5000 dango CE I never had one drop while grinding. Which isn't a big deal since I had one to start with, so I only needed 4 more to limit break it, but it must have a really low drop rate.

edit: For the purposes of grinding money, I'm assuming the 40AP money daily quest gives more than converting dangos to money?

Yeah, just bring an Archer with an AoE NP for the second round and finish charging the Archer's NP during the first round. Only issue is getting the Archer's NP charged up since you'll (ideally) have one of the event CEs that don't give NP charge equipped.

I've been relying on support Ishtars with the event CE since she's got a decent NP charger skill.

So Extella's main plot seems to be your descent through the three circles of increasingly terrifying waifus, with Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus as the least fearsome option, and it's pretty great.

Also, Nero's reaction to meeting Altera, a living embodiment of eldritch destruction in a human-shaped shell, being ':stare: oh my god I need her in my bed right now' was quite something.

Finally have a chance to do this event, and it's funny how easy it is compared to last year. Kaleido-Mordred + Kaleido-Quetzalcoatl + Support Jeanne for Dragon Witch clears the first 40AP in one turn each. Which is good, because I need more talons to get Mord's Mana Burst and SoP to 10.

I have zero golden apples. I used to have 100 but then used a bunch over the course of a couple events.

Do you just rarely use them?
