If Moon Goddess is anything to go on, I did see the new CEs (Mooncell Automation in that case) start showing up in the FP gacha right away.

Randomzx posted:

That shouldn't have happened. I got all my level 20 CEs by using the method of reverse feeding. I did the LB+bonusXpLeveling plenty of times without it failing (considering how much feeding you have to do to reach level 20) so I know it works.

Are you sure you actually used a duplicate?
It's absolutely possible I had it wrong; this was a month or so ago so my memory could be faulty. But I remember specifically going out of my to test this very question so I'd like to believe I wouldn't have gotten it wrong. I'll just test it again once I have one up past 10 again.

This is why I did 1 10-roll on the quartz banner. All I wanted was 1 copy of Euryale and I got 2 so I'm satisfied. I'm saving the rest of my quartz for Scathach.

Grailing George is great if you like George. He'll never do much damage due to his low attack stat but his NP modifier is kinda high so that'll do okayish damage and more importantly he has incredibly high HP and grailing him makes his HP stat competitive with the tankiest 4-5 stars. And he's good at tanking.

The quartz ones are where I got all my silvers to NP5 so I don't even know what the point of the FP gacha is anymore aside from Angra when he's out.

Ready to Poyozo Dance all over your face.
Three 10 pulls have produced two Euryales, three Hektors, a Code Cast, Another Ending, Le Chevalier d'Eon and Orion. Also a bunch of other 3-Star servants I already had at NP5 and some 3* and 4* Craft Essences.

No golden Riders, though. Rate up is a lie, gacha is bad civilization, etc.

Whaled 80 bucks for Drake, (She was my favorite in Extra.) and used up all my saved up quartz and tickets. I got baited by Anne/Mary's golden card not once, not twice, not thrice, not four times, but five times. Including a pull with three of them. :livintrope:

Sigh... are they worth investing in?

That was 11 full pulls, combining all my saved up quartz + apologems + the 140 I bought, as well as my 19 tickets.

If I don't get Drake by the time I finish Okeanos for the 30-ish quartz and get the next batch of Da Vinci tickets, I might just grail them out of respect for how persistent they were.

Based on what I've heard Anne/Mary have one of the most crazily powerful NPs if you use them right (low HP boosts its power), so at NP5 they'll be insane.

No but OTOH she's AoE and the other two are single target so their niches don't really overlap. She's got a pretty decent stargen, NP gen and refund, too, so she has decent NP spam capabilities (which pierce invul).

Wait, does that mean that if I put a Black Grail on them, they're essentially double-dipping NP damage?

People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.
Black Grail, below 600 hp, 300% NP, go last in a 3-NP Buster Chain, hit something weak to Riders (Archers, for summer Anne). Watch the numbers go.

Rider Carribean Freebird is a Quick card, so that makes that a difficult proposition. On the other hand, I've heard that chain colors and associated bonuses don't affect noble phantasms the way they do normal cards. So NPs don't get damage advantages or extra arts/stars for leading buster, arts or quick cards.

On the other other hand, I've never found an emperical source for any of the combat math analysis and the game sure doesn't feel like sharing! So maybe I'm entirely wrong.

The analysis blogs on Beast's Lair are based on decompiling the code and most of them have been confirmed by in-game testing, so I think they're generally trustworthy.

There are one or two edge cases they're a little hazy on, though, and "do NPs get the bonus damage from a buster chain" is one of them. I think the answer's no, but it could go either way.

Probably Tamamo/Tamacat/Carmilla on Halloween; I don't think they'll try to squeeze anything in in between.

In the wrong hands, the stapler is a deadly weapon.

First 10-pull could've been better, but it could've been worse too. Got my first Lancelot and also Euryale the Archer and Code Cast as new cards. The one Rider I got was my umpteenth Boudica.

120 quartz and 7 tickets that I'd saved up and no lady pirates, but instead it decided to grace me with 2 Arturias to feed the one I already had. Seems like an alright consolation prize.
