you took that one guy's nightingale though, so really, you came out ahead relative to him

Yeah and I didn't pay anything for the privilege. But I find it sort of difficult to find a legitimate use for her. Main reason I wanted Cu was because I'm still missing a generally useful main attacker. I didn't think about rerolling at the start so I don't have Herc or really any other 4star berserker.

I'm curious if any of these will wind up just being alternate outfits using the new costume system instead of actual new servants.

I'd definitely be down for a large scale wave of alternate outfits, rather than painful 5 star servants to roll for. Though I guess it matters less for me, being US-only.

I kind of feel like sitting on as many grails as possible in the event I get better or at least different 4*/5* down the road. I could see myself putting in 7 for Herc eventually because his curve is Reverse S but a part of wants to hold out hope that I get say Jeanne Alter for the rest.

MORT cancels dance: interrupted by MORT
Grailed level stat growth is linear, previous stat curve is irrelevant. Herc would get the same amount of stats from grailing him up as any other 4*.

And yeah, lvl 80-90 is overkill for most things until way down the line in Camelot, so you might as well save your grails for those servants you love.

Edit: ^ :argh:

Well, grail growth is always linear, so you don't need to worry about the stat curve.

Personally, I'm just putting one grail on Altera for now, but the rest I'm saving to get Serenity and Astolfo to 90 when they drop. Definitely want to get all three to max eventually though.

There is no small amount of suspicion that Part 2 proper, starting next year, will introduce fifth ascensions and above in some fashion.

Also, it amuses me that, when we finally see Nero with her trademark bun down, she basically turns into Blonde Estelle Bright. Amuses me for, y'know, Some Reason™.

... For real tho, I'm not the only one who sees it, right


I'm a little bummed that it seems Summer Jalter does seem to be just an art thing, but what we're getting looks like a ton of fun. Looking forward to next week and a likely free Ishtarin.

hello
I think Summer Ishtar is speculated to be a Caster. If she is, she'll probably be an offense based Caster. Since I'm already saving all my grails on JP for Ishtar, I wonder if I should grail welfare Ishtar. My money is on her being a better Offensive Caster than Illya.

She's very likely to be the free Servant of the event (since a large part of the point of the free Servants, especially during major seasonals, is to let people get a version of a popular character who is otherwise difficult to obtain), so she'd be a good target for grailing if you want to follow the golden rule of grailing like Bholder outlined. And since there's no lore reason for Ishtar to have an NP that trashes her damage for three turns, and DW has hopefully learned their lesson about random-chance skills, yeah, she would hopefully make a pretty good offensive Caster.

(If the racing theme means she ends up being the longed-for Quick Support Caster, though, I will laugh. Then keep laughing all the way to the bank beside my Jack.)

Almost certainly not, for better or worse; they use Summer as an excuse to give characters who otherwise might never get alternate versions a chance to show off in a different class or look, and occasionally to make them easier to obtain (e.g., Summer Scath for people who couldn't roll her during rate-up, Summer Nobu here for people who somehow missed both Honnouji runs, etc). Everyone we saw is likely to be an obtainable Servant.
