For sure, you'll regret not farming for the event servants. I only had KinRider at NP1, thankfully I had another single-target rider to tide me over until Onigaishima returned. Another thing to watch out for; most of the welfare servants start off as 'temporary' until you get to a certain point (usually completing the event or trading a certain item in Scathassassin's case). Feel free to level and the 'temporary' one, just make sure to clear the requirement to keep 'em or you'll have burnt the EXP cards for nothing. Don't do what I did in last year's summer event and forget.

Nate RFB posted:OK. Again it's probably one of those things that will make perfect sense how to balance it all once said events get underway. If those events really are the only way to powerup those extra servants then obviously it makes the most sense to take advantage of that time to do so, but anything at all to alleviate the insanity of grinding monuments is something I would want to do almost equally. I guess my hope is that you wind up maxing out the NP super early and if you're on the ball can use the remaining time to get tons of monuments. I haven't played the JP version so hopefully someone will correct me if I get this wrong, but let's take the first Halloween event as an example. One of the random drops from the event missions is Bats. 50 Bats could buy an extra copy of Caster Liz to power up her NP, max one because other copies cost different currencies. 20 Bats could buy a Twinkle Candy which is the only ascension material Caster Liz uses, max 4 which is all you need. Or 10 Bats buys you a Saber monument, max 20 times. Or 100 bats buys you an event-specific 4* CE, max 4 times because the game is heartless. So it's a pretty simple decision of what to spend the event currency on, with the understanding that some of the things you can buy can be obtained elsewhere and some can't.

Speaking of events, JP servers are back up and the summer event rerun is on.  And it's time to go surfing. Tired Moritz posted:I guess I do have to use Kiyohime now. Kiyohime's not bad. Yeah, I think Spartacus was one of the first Berserkers they made to speak in something other than unintelligible roaring/screaming/grunting. Not that always makes any more sense. That's one thing they've done a good job of in FGO, adding Berserkers who are crazy in different ways, like Kiyohime or Nightingale.

I guess my hope is that you wind up maxing out the NP super early and if you're on the ball can use the remaining time to get tons of monuments. Maxing out an event servant's NP and farming monuments are not mutually exclusive things. You'll usually be farming the event currency to buy monuments at the same time you are farming the mats needed to max the NP.

Nate RFB posted:In this case since Liz Caster is apparently medicore I'd think the CE and a mountain of Saber monuments would be far more valuable. Monuments become so plentiful that you eventually stop even noticing them in the event shops, whereas event servants are way more limited, so please make the good prioritizations and not the bad ones. Also Caster Liz is pretty alright, she's not as super strong as Rider Kintoki or anything but she's an OK AoE Caster

The man called M posted:Other than story mode, what's the best way to get statues? Right now, doing the green set of Dailies that tell you 'Duel with Three Knights/Four Calvaries'. The 30AP one guarantees at least one piece/monument drop from the final fight. In the future, Event shops and the revamped set of Dailies that don't suck rear end.

That would be Kintoki - like Gil, he's a 5* limited character that gets released early enough to be already in the game files ar launch. His claim to fame is being the strongest Berserker in the game. And for loving Gold.

I never got Gil, but I do have Catwoman and Lancelot for Berserkers. I'd kill for a decent caster though..

Endorph posted:actually here, a summary of the welfares. also spoilers. I know this is super late but I just wanna point out that Halloween Liz has two skills that generates stars, one of them over time, and both skills also come with survivability options attached (stars per turn + pretty big self-heal and stars + guts, respectively), and her remaining skill is a Buster buff that shores up her NP damage. And she's NP5 by default. So she can feed your party stars and help you clear preboss mobs more effectively than Berserkers. Assassin mobs in particular can get extremely annoying later on, because they have natural high crit rate and can sometimes are quite tanky. Especially those loving automata that have a 1-use Evade skill and sizable attack. gently caress those things. So while she's not amazing, she IMO has a solid niche that is sadly underappreciated. Irisviel is a dedicated healer, but more important she can give AoE Guts much more often than almost everyone else because even though her NP generation is kind of rear end it's still way faster than anyone else's skill cooldowns. This can be an incredible boon when you need to stick around for a long time, such as certain challenge quests (e.g. the 100 Hassan fight) or when the enemy has Invul Pierce and your def buffs aren't cutting it. Her niche is very narrow, so she's overall not really good, but she can save your rear end when you do need that niche. Kyte fucked around with this message at 22:24 on Jul 12, 2017 |

Marogareh posted:I'm currently reading the LP and I hope it answers why there's like twenty versions of the the same person. Throne of Heroes is a subsystem of the Akashic Records, also known as the Root, the sum total of all knowledge in the Multiverse and is basically God. The Throne of Heroes takes all legends and folklore and myths and stuff about the heroes and villains it houses and adds them to that hero's power level, which is why the actual Heroic Spirits in the actual Throne are ideal, perfect beings. Since there is no power source on Earth strong enough to manifest a Heroic Spirit in full, not even the weaker, lovely ones, people came up with containers that can store a Heroic Spirit's persona and a fraction of their power in it. Because there are different interpretations and stories about a hero from different stages of their life, and also because the multiverse is canon in the Nasuverse, different versions of the same guy can be summoned.
