Yeah, Tsukihime Crossover is a very possible thing rn. It seems like a lot of people in general are requesting it and with the remake still in development, now's a good a time as any to bring it back into the minds of the general public.

5* Arc and 4* Poverty Ciel is the most likely thing, but I can also seeing them do a thing like with Void Shiki where the welfare is the Arc everyone knows and the 5* is like Archetype Earth or something.

A single target Zerker that's also Anti-Saber? And shares a rate up with Jack!? Finally, a chance at a 5* Assassin and 5* Zerker I'm interested in.

But I'm poor right now due to real life bullshit. :(

Ofc they are. But if she's a QQABB Berserker I'll scrape together every last bit of quartz I can find to get her

The gachas on female characters are rotating between two sets of chars and the male one will persist throughout the whole event.

I'm probably gonna do one 10-roll on the male one to see if I get lucky and get Tesla, Cu Alter, Waver, or Ozy and I might do one on the second female gacha to see if I can get lucky at Quetz, but these are all story servants so yes it is basically bait unless MHX Alter is included with them which I'm not super clear on.

Ooh, I might roll on this one. My "only" 5* Berserker is Vlad, and she looks kinda cool.

edit: Oh nice, the event also gives a bunch of materials I need. I've been holding off on doing Tamamo Cat's final ascension because I didn't want to use all my remaining gold Berserker monuments on her. I'll also be able to finish off Musashi's ascension with the gears.

I'm now more interested in the CEs than the servant herself.

Had a build up of quartz that I was planning to use for Enrico Emiya but getting the CEs might be better.

So if I don't have any 5* servants and only have 4 4* (2 Lance, 1 Assassin and 1 Saber) what Valentine's event gacha should I pull on? I've heard good things about Jeanne D'Arc and Jack the Ripper, but should I focus on filling out class options or what? I know ultimately any unit can be good but my luck at the gacha is trash so I want to shore up pulls as best I can.

Captain Baal

It depends on what you want and what works for you. There's gonna be two rotating female servant gachas and the one male one.

To give you a basic rundown, with the exception of MHX Alter all of these are story servants who you can still get through other gachas consistently enough since they are permnanently in the game.

Now the big question comes to, what do you really want?

If you want quick based stuff and crit star nonsense then going for Jack when she's up is a pretty smart idea because beyond the fact she's got insane crit star gen, her skills are solid, she's strong against riders which there are a significant number of right now, and she synergizes pretty well with a bunch of other servants. You can also alternatively go for Drake for this as well, but she isn't as good at a lot of it and has become more of a damage character as of late since her NP is pretty solid damage wise and she still generates a decent number of stars.

If you want pure damage monsters then Quetz herself is a very solid choice with her buster based build and single target NP that shits on the world. Sanzuang is also a pretty solid choice being the sole damage based caster, but she needs some decent support to hit her stride.

If you want sustainability then Tamamo has a good defensive NP and she's arts based so it's very easy to build a team that centers around taking advantage of that just expect a lot of your big fights to take a while.

If you hate Saberfaces then Mordred is a way to go as well since her NP poops on them.

Of course doing all of this also nets you a chance at MHX Alter who seems like she could be pretty good being a quick based berserker with single target Saberface specialized NP but we won't know for sure until she drops in like 10 hours.

If you want some of the most busted poo poo in the game then Waver, Cu Alter, and Ozy await you in the male gacha. However take note that like there's about 8 servants on rate up in that gacha and four of them are average, 1 of them is the best non-limited Archer in the game, and the other 3 are the busted characters and there's no guarantee that even if you do hit a 5* you'll get what you want in there.

Or alternatively you can roll on the characters you like and move from there, it's not a bad way to spread out.

Ok I appreciate the rundown. As a new player I'm not super sure what I would want out of a character I guess, my team mostly just folds to everything instantly even now that they're all upgraded 1 or 2 times. For reference now that I can actually look up the names I have Lancer Elizabeth Bathory, Karna (who I've been sure for the month I've owned him was a 4*), Carmilla and Chevalier D'Eon. Since I don't super know how the game works I've been running them as a brute force team, so does that mean I would want Quetz? And I do hate Saberfaces so Mordred sounds good. I only have 60 quartz so I'm not really expecting 1 5* so I'm not gonna even hope for 2, and I don't super care about characters (although I do really dig Quetzalcoatl's look so I'm leaning that way).

Or I might just go for the male gacha but ehhhhhh.

Astolfo is always on rate up.

Also i was thinking of rolling for MHX Alter but then i saw her skills, and unless the actual numbers on those skills are way above average, then she seems like a pretty bad character

MHX Alter has cool animations but her skills seem kind of crappy. How big is the first heal? The third skill also depends upon how big the attack boost is, though even then nothing really stands out.

Like, Nyaa.

:colbert:
First skill max - self heal rate up 50%, heal 2000 = 3000 hp

Second skill max - gain 14 stars

Third skill max - one perty memeber -100% star attract, party atk up 20%

Np hit saber harder.

Pretty decent also a skill to reduce star attract, which is useful for crit team.

From what I can see she actually pretty decent NP gain and her second skill is useless. Is that what it gives at max?

Also I blew 60 quartz and I only got the ilya CEs. I wanted the Sakura ones.
