That's the first non default outfit in the NA version. It's abilities are

Arts Up (1 Ally) (1 Turn)
Critical Star Drop Rate Up (1 Ally) (1 Turn)
Remove Buffs (1 Enemy)

It's not very good unless you're running some bizarre arts crit team.

Its a shame the Spiritron Portrait CE is so trash, it'd be cute to equip the matching CE on the respective Servant.

Oh right, I'm so used to filtering by Servant level that I forgot you can actually do other things too! My bad. :v:

At this point it's probably better to just roll again not to try to get Gil, but so I can get one last Imaginary Element to get it to 4/4 and have basically a second Kaleidoscope.

That CE reminds me, exactly how do those "gain _ crit stars each turn" CEs work? Do they just add stars to the pool every turn? Do they automatically go to the servant who equips the CE? Are they a hidden chance to crit for that many stars?

Based on watching Jeanne I'm pretty sure it's just the first one.

Is Tamamo any good? I feel like I've gotten to hear about a good deal of the great 4*/5*s worth shooting for at this point, but never heard a peep about her. I like her third sprite a lot at least.

tamamo is incredibly good, but she's built specifically for an arts team. she combos amazingly with vlad, but she isnt as all-purpose as waver or merlin.

She's the staple Arts team Support Caster. She doesn't slot into any team like Waver or Merlin does, but that's not exactly a bar many Servants can clear.

In a way, I'm glad I got impatient and blew a few more pulls on the Gil even even though I already rolled him.

It really helped drive into my thick skull that the odds are bad and should discourage me from ever spending money on this.

No you do not understand. it is precisely because the odds are so bad that you need to spend spend spend and ensure you have at least 3000 quartz ready at all times to spend on your husbando/waifu.

If you feed a CE a copy of itself its max level increases, do that four times and its base effect improves. This can make some 3* CEs actually decent, like Dragon Meridian (you start with 50% NP instead of 30%) or Grimoire.

That's it really. Although the stat boosts from a max-level 5* CE can be considerable, so its worth upgrading them. A max-level Kaleidoscope boosts Attack by 2,000 points. (You will never get a max-level Kaleidoscope)

Azoth Blade and Black Keys will always suck. Their only use is to feed other CEs or be burned for Prisms.

My level 98 Limited / Zero Over begs to differ! (JP Server and it's taken two years :ssh: albeit I think there's a couple of events I didn't optimize my acquisition and usage of XP CE's)

Do the things you say actually make any difference in the game, or just in the immediate reactions of those around you? I don't want to inadvertently piss off Mash and not realize it and have it come back to bite me one day or something.

So, for the 4 Calvaries (sic) Event quest (and the other one) what classes do you guys recommend using? I'm take Jeanne because of course, but should I try to play the triangle, or should I take from the Archer/Saber/Lancer crowd to avoid being weak at all?

Just use Jeanne and whatever damage dealers you have levelled, in my opinion. I now just run both quests with Jeanne/Herc/Altria and it works equally well for both. Just make sure you don't put your entire team on-triangle, as then you run the risk of having the wrong ones die and be left with nothing against the boss.

I have Waver and though to myself that I have already beaten this game as I have the greatest servant so decided to blow everything on the Gatcha. Because YOLO and I got crappy CEs and my final roll gave me Sumanai...:suicide:

I feel a huge void in my heart... never spend money on this game, buy 1 quartz so you can recover your account but after that no...no more...

I remain open to the possibility of spending money on some of the guaranteed 5* servant events. Like the 2016 New Years special summon; there's basically nothing on that list I wouldn't be happy with, even potential NP2 duplicates.

Even so the game still has to convince me that it's worth 30 quartz of cash money by the time that happens.

PureRok posted:

Run Advanced if you can. Technically pieces per AP is slightly better at the intermediate level but you'll need monuments soon enough and you'll regret having wasted AP on the easy stuff.

The 15/30 AP one. it guarantees at least 1 drop from the final round.

I just saw the ultimate whale.

I'm talking all slots filled with 5*s with NP 5 equipped with all maxed out Kaleidascope.

Archer slot had NP5 Gilgamesh. Caster slot had NP5 Waver.

Its like seeing Seto Kaiba in reality.
