The writing feels like it's starting to get better, the storyline is actually enjoyable (although that might be just because they're going for light comedy rather than high drama).

I see you and I share an impossible dream.

Is Orion limited to the event gatcha or does she enter general rotation? I like her, she's goofy and weird.

edit: Fuckin' sweet a dude on my friendlist already has one of the good dango CEs.

hello
People are saying that the 3* CE is dropping from the FP gacha, so if you want some extra bonuses, you can try your luck there.

Orion gets added to the regular gacha. She isn't a limited servant.

Plus with a Event CE from a Summoning ticket I think Dango won't be that much a problem.

People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.
So Summer Mom seems pretty busted for a 4* Lancer.

A 1 turn star weight and crit damage boost (50% damage, 5 turn cooldown at max). A 3 turn, targetable Buster boost that also clears debuffs from the target (40%, 6 turn cooldown at max). Summer Charisma, but with a star gen boost that isn't restricted to males (30% stars, 5 turn cooldown at max). Her NP generates stars in addition to whatever pop out of the enemy. And then her rather high NP and star gen on her attacks.

Buster teams just got another member.

It doubles the base drop amount, so it's much more useful for the harder fights.

Alright good poo poo thanks guys, I'll hold off then because I'll probably get like four of her when rolling for Gil.

Also yeah if the writing from here on stays at least as good as this I'm reinvigorated for this dumb stupid anime game.

Beat George first because he can easily spam his Def up Skill and become invincible for multiple turns otherwise

Decided to do a 10 pull in hope of maybe grabbing an event CE and got probably the best single pull I've ever done. Orion, Moony Jewel, two Moon Cell things, an extra Robin to get him up to NP5, and an extra Imaginary Element to limit break that to basically make a second Kaleidoscope.

Don't forget to set your dango-boosting CEs to your support servants!

Two 10-rolls got me 3 baths, a Steno, and Orion. I haven't played in earnest since the last event ended so I guess they're trying to drag me back in with giant anime tits.

Oh sparkly golden orbs on my first 10-roll, could I be this lucky? Turns out it was a second Waver. Which I greatly appreciate, but not what I'm looking for, game!

...it took more than half my quartz and all my tickets, but I got Orion, a Bath... and more Jewels than I know what to do with. Is a single Moon Bath CE worth using with Moony Jewels, or am I better off using nothing but Moony Jewels?

Two ten-rolls. First is jack poo poo. Second is like three(?!) moony jewels and... Artoria Altria? Sure whatever, I'll take it.

And the event is far more entertaining than Nero's. Having a hilariously dumb story to go along with it helps a lot, and the event CEs make the grinding relatively painless.

Oh Snapple!

Did a 10 roll out of pure whim despite my general plan to save quartz. Didn't exactly get a load of stuff but I did get Altera, which is enough to justify it for me. Also got a Moony Jewel.

Bah, the new update took away the ability to trade rare dangos for normals again, presumably until after the event. Sucks if you didn't get the CE yet.

Seems fairly odd thing to do to me. Was the initial run like that? It basically means those rares are dead weight outside of unlocking higher AP events, and that you have to get to 500 via normal drops.

Yeah, that's how the initial run worked in JP; I think it was a mistake that they allowed it at first on NA.

You can trade'em for QP afterwards, which can be pretty useful. The conversion rates between event currencies are always terrible, don't bother with that.

Goddamnit, I had the chance to do it but thought they had just allowed it from the start for our version on purpose. Would have been 100 less dangos to farm.

So did the option not open up in the shop at all to get normals after the event? If they're only useful for unlocking battles and QP, then this event got a whole lot shittier because so far I've gotten way more rares than normals.

It's possible that it might open up again after beating the story missions, since that's how the rerun worked? That's probably still worth it if so, since it's only 30AP to beat those. I'm not going to be able to test that for a while, though.

Nate RFB posted:

It did, and we're definitely getting it at some point because the option's still in the shop - it's just "preparing" now rather than "available".

How do you get so many servants in a single roll?

At most I get 5 and three of them are repeats (In this case Romulus and Boudica AGAIN I already have her NP maxed out jerks :argh: and a second Kiyohime.)

I got Ushi and Marie Antoinette finally though. Other than that it was all meh CEs (Projection and Verdant Sound are welcome, Azure Keys, two of them at that, are not)

I could be wrong but I think the math works out to be mostly in favor of using the Jewels in the 5AP.

With two Moony Jewels and a shitload of Mooncells, I have about a +8 advantage at the moment with the 5AP which means around 24 dangos, minimum. So for six 5 AP runs that's 144 dangos.

Since the bath only affects the base amount it's only going to be useful on the harder battles, specifically the 30AP. I haven't run that yet but cirnopedia (why is it running so slow today?) seems to indicate that at most that's going to drop 8 per enemy, for 24 as a base. With the bath that's 48, with maybe 8-10 extra with a lot of Jewels or whatever. Basically maybe if you're charitable you might break 100 dangos? The main advantage in this situation is that you're hopefully getting some hearts to drop.

Yep, they're greyed out and it says "preparing". Have you finished the story quests? If so that might be what unlocks it.

edit: In fact the description now says exactly that; great!
