Don't you think you should put more thought into your battleplan?!

Well, just wrapped up Okeanos. Drake is a goodie.

Should I grail Mata Hari to 85 or wait to bump up someone else?

In 3 days it'll be the 100th anniversary of her execution :rip:

I know the answer is "Anime" but why is Heroic servant Mata Hari so stacked when the real life one was, well, rather not.

The real Mata Hari was also a terrible, terrible spy.

Servant Mata Hari (while also useless due to the nature of FGO)is a huge upgrade in ability over the real woman because she embodies the legend of the glamorous female spy.

And when people think of female spy, I guess the huge baps come to mind.

Mata Hari is one of those Servants whose design I really love and I've drawn fanart of her twice, but I... never use her...

But Fate Drake was actually Queen Elizabeth playing Drake's role.

quote:

In addition - and this is merely literary creation - there is also a story full of romance in which Drake was a companion of Queen Elizabeth and, just before setting sail for the world circumnavigation, switched places with the Queen, who could no longer go out in public due to receiving a wound on her face.

It originated from a time where they were still justifying genderbends.

Either they finally realized that the multiverse setting means that any character can be any gender, or they knew all along and decided the readers no longer cared.

Dammit no Claws in the Halloween Shop, was hoping I wouldn't have to keep farming that 15 AP quest in Septem, but I guess I hafta.

At least there are Dragon Scales for Lancelot and Vlad.

To me it's more that they just don't care at this point. Full alternate universe characters like Musashi being a girl (but a man in FGO's homeverse) are rare. They just don't really bother justifying it anymore. Long ago, it was just a funny thing to bring up. People wouldn't know anything about Fate except that it featured a female King Arthur. Now, it's just shrug, bring on the servants for people to roll on.

I'm gonna try to train myself to not spend Quartz every time I can by setting myself a goal of accumulating 300 Quartz and 50 Tickets before spending again. Wish me luck!

I got 400 quartz and 39 tickets. You can do this! Try to find some interludes to finish. I've been trying to get all my servants to their first ascension and a few choice ones to ascension 2 just for their interludes. Just make sure to do the master missions as early as you can so you can free up your AP for random mats and xp.

So is it worth dumping points into the friend gacha during Halloween? I can do about 80 10-rolls, but I don't know what else I should be saving these for. I already trained myself to be disappointed in the gacha since I still haven't gotten Ushi.

But it didn't even do that. Hell, the localized version was missing that description in the Matrix info background due to a mistake. and you only see that information after you defeat Drake.

My current crisis is that I really, really need to unload some gold XP cards, as I'm super close to 300 cards/servants and my second archive is completely full. If I can get just one Phoenix Plume I'll be able to max ascend Cu and clear out a massive chunk; I can even grail him if necessary, as I was planning on doing that.

I guess if I fail I can just dump some into David as I've ignore him thus far.

I'm afraid its because of Super-Science.

Regular-Ass Science is innocent.
I've been going on levelling sprees whenever I get over 230, since on a normal non-1/2 AP day, its just over the safe limit for using the whole days AP on 40AP XP. Except, after a few days of this 1/2AP period,since a lot of folks are at the cusp of 2nd ascension, I'm running out of people I can level efficiently. I'm going to have to overcome my aversion to levelling people with cards outside their class, because the alternative is burning ascension materials on them...

According to this calculator, you will need 264 caster gold XP cards or 316 non-class cards to get her up to max level.

The problem isn't gathering the Quartz, it's resisting the siren call of the gacha.

I wake up in the dead of the night. I am in a cold sweat, and I clutch at my chest.

Though the nightmare is fading, the words of the creature that had loomed over my bed and leered at me remain fresh in my memory. I can hear it even now, a mocking whisper that sears my mind.

"You can save up 2000 quartz, and still fail to roll Jeanne Alter."
