What a childish tactic!
Don't you think you should put more thought into your battleplan?!

Artoria Alter have worse skills, Instinct is lower, Charisma is at the lowest rank, Magic Resistance is lower, and have no passive Riding skill.
Excalibur Morgan have higher damage multiplier, but have worse secondary effect.


But in terms of corresponding rank at the time, Artoria was near the top at the time (seems to be around November 2015)

From my further failed attempts to get Tamamo I have acquired Berserker Lancelot. Would a team of him, Atlantae, and Waver work as well as I think it would?
I run Lancelot with Mata Hari and Waver for a NP spam. Waver pumps out the NP gain then debuffs/stuns the enemy, Mata Hari debuffs the ever-living piss out of the enemy team some more, and Lancelot just rolls face.

Just to make sure, you need 5 copies total of a CE to fully limit break it?

Yes. The event store has exactly the number you need to break them to max.

Note: This does NOT increase the number of currency drops. It just increases the normal battle effects like any other CE.

Thats JP though, I'm pretty sure max level servants were far more rare, which helps Artoria and Jeanne, since they get a giant sack of stats early. Waver didn't have his buffs and AoE NPs were the way to go since there were no actually hard boss fights.

Also I'm pretty sure these 5* rankings were always poo poo anyway.

With this, I'll be able to make the ultimate pie!
I farmed the 30 AP free quest and didn't get a Halloween Princess, but then Emiya randomly drops one in one of the party quests, so hey I can finally move on to 40 AP.

Also Vlad/Tamamo/Waver is just as ridiculous as I expected. Fox girl best girl. :kimchi:

I've had a maxed out Halloween Arrangement since the beginning and it drops exactly the same amount (1 bat) as a non-LBed one. From what I read the increases in drops is from Halloween re-runs.

At some point it will start being true for all events, but I'm not sure when. Definitely by Saber Wars because that event's CEs list an MLB effect on the wiki even though it has never been rerun.

It's pretty great. During non events fgo falls out of top 200 (on iOS AppStore). And the first few days of a new event we shoot into the top 10 and slowly slide down out of the top 200 over the course of a week or two

I've been doing this so far:

40AP Free Quest: As many Petite Devils (boosts Pumpkins) as possible, and the best one of each other type. So every currency gets a boost, but ideally pumpkins get the most.
30AP Guerilla: Same as 40AP Free Quest.
20AP Party Quests: ONLY bat-boosting CEs

The image already implied it was JP.

Artoria have a Linear growth curve, which means she doesn't have the advantage in Early stats compared to Reverse S curve and S curve.
If early stats was the thing that mattered, the S curve would be more relevant since you would already got the stat you need by the 3rd ascension

And Jeanne have reverse S growth which means like a huge chunk of her stats were behind the last ascension, and she doesn't have good attack score even then

jesus pumpkin grinding is bullshit. Who thought having one enemy drop 1 pumpkin on a gold drop only was a good idea for the 40 AP mission?


EDIT: oh right, it's actually 3. It'd had been so long since I'd had a pumpkin even drop I'd forgotten

My NP3 3rd Ascended Artoria is easily the MVP of this event for me, by the way. I may not like her and I may still wish I had gotten a different Servant, but she is cleaning house on and at all stages of this event.

Honestly, thanks to her and the occasional double Waver whenever I find one of my support list with a petit devil, the 40AP quest is easier for me than the 30, because the 30 has those Wyverns, and while I do have two Assassins for them, their damage output is too low without damage boosting CE's.

I'm doing the 30AP with Salter, Caesar and support Waver, Excalibur Morgan oneshots the wyverns and takes Vlad down to around 25%.

That's buffed by Caesar's attack and NP strength buffs, her own buster buff, mystic code attack buff, and Waver's NP lowering enemy defence. But on the other hand, she's only at NP1 and second ascension, so I'd be surprised if your Artoria couldn't do it as easily with a similar setup.

If you've got a good method for getting pumpkins remember that they sell for 50 cupcakes each, which is probably a lot less painful than farming up 500 cupcakes normally.
