It doesn't seem to result in a cleanse as people said it does; Kiyohime's skill seal didn't get cleansed.

I feel like its a decent way for them to make the combat a little more interesting; plus enemies releasing buffs on death like with some of those CE's.


Examples?

More EDGE I'd imagine.

With all this heavy story the game ended up having and continues to have with Epic of Remnant, I wonder how they're gonna archive this when the mobage itself is officially over? It'd be great to have a library of sorts and that way translators can work in a more organized fashion and we wouldn't have to look at scattered bits and pieces from Reddit and Beast's Lair.

That would require people to not throw giant hissy fits when a translator doesn't do it exactly the way they like, which is what has been happening with taiboo on Reddit. Apparently he got tons of insane messages from people who hang out on Beast's Lair because he hasn't been doing an exactly literal translation -and- because he wasn't posting it only over there where it could be properly appreciated :rolleye:

Where does Emiya Alter fall on that scale, out of curiosity? I happened to pull him one of this month's summoning tickets, and I'm not sure if it's worth leveling him when I already have a decently high level Atalanta.

He's bad. His stats aren't great, his skills honestly kinda suck, his np gain is mediocre even for an arts based servant, so is his np damage, and he doesn't really excel at anything in particular. Like it's worth noting his other version is one of the best Archers in the game and the loli version of the same Archer does everything this version does, but better. The only reason I guess you would use him over most other archers is because your options are limited and single-target np is never really a bad thing to have on a gold servant, but with easy gets like Arash, Euryale, and Robin, it kinda makes that point moot?

His design also just fuckin sucks and the only cool thing about him really is his np and his lore. Mind you, I'm a bit salty because this is my favorite servant in the series and the fact he has three separate versions of himself that I don't like (meanwhile Artoria has nothing but variations I do like save MHXA) and this one was especially the nail in the coffin that he is never gonna have a cool twist on his original concept.

Ah, I see, that's a shame. Thanks for the writeup though, guess I'm sticking with cat ear Archer. Also don't you hate on MXHA, she's great. :colbert: (though I'm biased since she's one of my two 5-stars :v:)

I'd actually say Emiya Alter isn't too bad. He's pretty tanky with his first skill, and he has two skills that boost his damage. Also an NPAA chain will give him a lot of his NP gauge back. I'd go with him over Atalanta, I find her damage pretty meh without her quick steroid, which doesn't last long compared to Emiya Alter who has one that lasts three times.

They are in a design sense, but Gudako is a crazy mobage gamer in one portrayal and in another she wears a suit and is surrounded by her harem of evil servants. So you can't really say Shiro's in the game already except with technicalities like Emiya.

I feel Parvati and another Rin goddess on their way they will probably dump those versions of the characters as servants since those CE designs are really popular and they didn't do the waver thing where their original looks were stuffed into ascensions.

They could probably show up as non-servant characters, now that we're treading into weirder singularities and the present is no longer annihilated. Though I suppose that with the 2004 Holy Grail War going differently in the FGOverse, their path in life would've been wildly different/they're deaaaaaad.
