My long term strategy right now for the Caster Gods is, now that I have Waver, to wait until Merlin arrives and gun for him, and ignore Tamamo. There are going to be SOME people that get and put her on their Support list, so I'll use those instead for when I need her for those team comps. From what I've seen, I've never seen a double Tamamo, but I have seen double Wavers and double Merlins, so I should be fine with just a Support Tamamo.

Tamamo's somewhat limited because she only works on certain team types - basically arts teams, stall teams and turtle teams - but the other side of that is that most of those teams basically need her to work, because her kit is so unique.

Compare that to Waver, who works on any team but there really aren't any teams that need him - and then compare them both to Merlin, who works everywhere and has teams that don't work without him.


Yeah, there aren't really any new husbandos until the new year.

Tamamo is rarely a -bad- addition to a team. Healing and some NP gauge charging is always welcome. I get by with her just fine as my only 5 star caster on JP.

I guess I should be happy with Kaleidoscope, Magdalene Shroud, and Black Grail. Granted I can't think of who I'd use the black grail on, only real option I can think of is like Medea for rapid fire NP spam.

In the OP, or maybe second post, there's a good list of what are the best servants to shoot for in the beginning. I honestly don't know about how any upcoming events can factor into it, hopefully someone else can weigh in though.

So OP is still relevant then and Heracles is the hot poo poo? Good to know. Most of the OPs for games I play tend to be woefully out of date after like, a month.

Since the NA version is two years behind the JP version we know a lot about what's coming, so most of the info in the OP takes that into account. Also the list of available starting 4*s never changes, nor does the list of 1* and 2*s, so for the most part the info for new players is pretty evergreen.

Also NA doesn't seem to have any programmers so we're not getting any significant game changes or bug fixes for two years, so none of that info's changing either.

Alright then, I'd assumed it was like most mobile games where you could roll for the best stuff right out the gates.

Not easily. Unless there's an event giving immediate premium currency - which is pretty rare - you only get one chance per reroll to get a 5*, so it'll take an average 100 rerolls to get one.

Fortunately Heracles is pretty securely part of "the best stuff" too, so it's not that much of a problem.

I then proceeded to dump almost 20 million QP getting his skills up to 4/2/6. Can't wait to do some double Merlin + Jalter buster memes.

Still dunno really what CE to put on him though, I have divine banquet right now since I don't have that Halloween one that's real good for casters.

Just for fun i decided to level Siegfried's third skill up to level ten, put a LBed Black Grail on him, and then put him in a party with my lv90 George and a support Merlin

Turns out old Siggy actually is capable of pumping out some stupid damage with the right setup

Wait till next Wednesday, 30 AP. Amazons drop feathers, and they're found there only so far. Probably going to show up in the next chapter, though?

I took the heracles when he finally showed up and now I'm just beating skeletons to death. Should I spend my quartz or whatever on this banner or save it, what's the consensus on that?

Always check the drop rate chart: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_SlTjrVRTgHgfS7sRqx4CeJMqlz687HdSlYqiW-JvQA/htmlview (Make sure you pick the NA tab)

That says the Phoenix Feathers ARE a Thursday drop though. But remember that the rollover for dailies is different than the nightly rollover. It's 8PM EST when the dailies change, so we're on Friday now for example.

Fate/Grand Order can be cleared with basically any Servant team as long as you create one with decent synergy. People can and do clear the latest high end content in JP with even 1 star Servants.

You pull because there's a Servant you think is neat and you want to give a go at getting them for whatever reason.

5 star rates are incredibly low, literally 1%. But, as mentioned, rarity doesn't have any bearing on if the Servant is good or not. (One of the best Debuff NPs in the game is held by a 1 star, for example). While yeah, 5 stars will have Bigger Numbers you don't need those numbers beyond it giving you more breathing room.

So basically if you see something you want to save for, save. If not, pull. Or just wait to see if anything looks neat in the future.

Yeah my game plan is to just roll on who looks cool :shrug: rainbow sword lady looks pretty neat. Next banner is just pirate ladies who based on a glance don't seem to work too well with Heracles either? Not that I assume I'll be rolling in the 5*.

A big concern is, does their NP deal damage? If so is it AoE, or is it ST?

A Gold Unit of each class with a ST NP is useful for many challenge quests and for bosses in general; AoE NP's a less useful but can still work. I've gotten good results with Rinshtar and Mordred for example partly because their Buster cards can crit for ungodly amounts of damage.

Luckily we get good welfares, like Shiki, who is still my main ST Assassin.
