And honestly, I wouldn't try to just roll for 3*s when they have rate ups because chances are you'll get spooked by them when you're gunning for golds in other gachas.

Except the story locked ones.

I'm not sure what you mean? All of the story locked servants are story locked. Since no-one should ever roll the story gatcha under any circumstances they're not going to appear unless you're rolling on their rate-up gatcha.

When the urge to do a 10 roll overtakes me I spend a ticket in the story gacha to try to get salter or Nero. It reminds me how awful it is to spend tickets on story gacha. I really should stop it.

Yeah. Cirnopedia and probably the wiki have a list of story-locked servants. Some of the choices are kinda odd since out of the Okeanos servants neither Drake or M&A are locked, which is nice.

e: was presumptuous about the locks

I think we're having a misunderstanding here. I'm not even really taking the story gacha into account bc I never roll it and like you said, no one should. What I AM saying is that you'll get 3*s really, really, really easily, and you shouldn't sincerely aim for them cause they'll be in other pools. Like, they'll eventually flock to you.

Long story short: Aim for the gold, be grumpily sated by the 3*s you get unless they're already NP5.

plenty of story-locked servants are available in pools that aren't their rate-up

Yea, Hundred Faced and Serenity were put in the regular pool, which is why you can pull them from every gacha.

And the F/Zero event had nothing to do with the story gacha. It was an event, not a chapter of the main story, so it couldn't add any story locked Servants, anyway..

So basically I shouldn't bother hoping to get Salter or Nero unless they appear in another rate-up or if I do stupid things and play Story Gacha?

Cool, I'll just subside on EMIYA and friends for eternity then. They carry me pretty well.

Kind of crazy that the friend list cap gets raised at level 101. I'm seeing the exp problem now after I raised Jeanne from 60 to 70. Gonna take a long time to get her to 90 with the dailies alone.

It's harder to raise Rulers and Avengers because they only get bonus exp from all-class exp cards, which do not drop from dailies.

it varies based on the gacha, but be sure to check the pools. i got gawain from a pool where he wasn't on rate-up despite him being a storylock.

Fortunately they get a few rate-ups each. They've already confirmed that Salter will be in the next rate-up or the next but one.

Though they do make it easier to break out of the habit of only using EXP cards on their matching class.

Might it have been Chaldea Boys 2017? I think the male only/female only summons ignore story locks the same way rate-ups do.

When I did it, I did so on the back of a 1/2 AP week (god I hope we get more of those) and it took maybe 2 days, so extrapolate from that I suppose. It helps of course if you are dedicating all of your gold XP cards to her.

hello
Bride Nero has had a lot of banners as well if you want a Nero. Twice during Valentines and once during the Nero Fest rerun. Maybe more, but at least that many off the top of my head. And of course, she's a swimsuit servant this year. If you are hunting for Nero you'll have plenty of opportunities. If you're hunting for all of them well, good luck friend.

I am dumping all the gold XP cards on her but the 40 AP cost is hindering it a bit. It took six days to get her to 70 but it didn't feel like it for some reason. I'm just super glad I have her since she's super good with Prisma Cosmos at any level.

That was also back when I was a low enough level that I was leveling up fairly regularly too, now that I think about it.

Its even worst if you're obsessed with efficiency like me, and using a gold Caster XP card on a Lancer would cause you physical pain.

In other news, I've realised that if I'm never going to be able to farm Saber or Rider XP until the changeover, because it's only available on 'Lancer Monuments' Day and 'All The Materials Except Plumes' Day. So, that's annoying.

I'm not sure it'll be much of an improvement when they're on "Lancer Monuments - Now Only Once A Week" Day and "Demon Hearts" Day.

Absolutely an improvement. Sure is fun to try getting that last Saber monument, and seeing nothing but Gilgamesh and Elisabeth the entire day.
