What craft essence is preferable on a support Vlad? Black Grail? Formal Craft? Any of the Halloween CEs? None are limit broken.

I'd say Formalcraft.

That's what I've been using and it seems pretty good.

I've been using this site to help me decide what to stick on who and who to use with who as well.

Welp, got my 20 quartz for my 800th login today, and decided to roll it to try for Shuten/Raikou. Ended up getting double-spooked by Penthesilea and Danzou, but they were both servants i want anyway

Uh oh. Do I use Ariadne thread or Goho-M?

Yes! On the very last party quest (the one with Kintoki), Halloween Princess dropped! And I've finally gotten everything from the shop, including the exp, so now I am just finishing up the rest of the quests for the rewards.


Also, I managed to get every one of my servants to bond 5, so I am happy to see that the all of the Interludes are half off for the next week. I have a lot to get through.

Tried taking Altera + 2 Tamamo. Hassan procced death on the support (higher level) Tamamo on turn 4. :what:

Everyone died by Kiyohime, probably because I was stubborn with my NPs. Sealed, because I wasn't sure if I'd even get another chance this late. Medea took some work, but half my back row was Riders, so wasn't too worried, But had Nero tag in first (survivability, Arts NP). Lost one Tamamo to Medea, Tamamo was no problem except she kept Cursing, gently caress!

48 turns. Also got a Chaos claw, holy poo poo. And three pumpkin drops.

I managed to beat the boss rush on the first attempt with Emiya/Waver/Tamamo/Tamacat/Support Drake/Cu. The arts crew managed to make it to Medea without much difficulty before Medea started spamming her NP Charge + Rule Breaker bullshit combo, then I lost Tamamo and almost lost Waver before Cat was able to finish her off. Then Tamamo got a lucky crit on Emiya before Cat and Drake took her down without much difficulty (mostly she just spammed Curse on whoever had a NP ready). All in all it took 32 turns. :toot:

Overall that's a bit over 230 rolls with no 5* servants. Can't complain too much, though, since I got pretty much everything else I could have asked for out of the event, including a couple of decent new 4*s and enough copies of each CE to MLB all of them. Now it's back to saving.

There are only two that is worth grinding, and the other one should be easier if you are sufficiently prepared.

I really like JAlter as a character. I have 61 Saint Quartz saved up. Succotash is a cool gaebolg lady, but I don't want to hurt my JAlter chances seeing these horror stories...

I got 2 drops of a CE in JP Halloween. You don't need drops in JP Halloween cause you get all 5 needed to max them through shop + missions.

Meanwhile my drops in NA Halloween is one Maid, which I don't even need, and 0 Lewd Iris.

I'm also laughing at you.

Beat the boss rush with Altera, Kintoki, a support Waver, Halloween Liz, Caster Cu, and Kiyohime, in 46 turns.

I beat the Medea in 30 turns, but by then, my only survivors were Liz and Waver.

Tamamo refused to kill either of them, so I spent the next 16 turns hitting her with them until she finally got knocked down.

I didn't get the Halloween Princess drop either but I can max out the other two cards...yay.

Beat the boss rush in 29 turns with Altera, Vlad, Martha and two Wavers.

I want Waver; i think he's a cool character and he would work very well with my Tamamo and Vlad team, but i think i'm just going to stick with using other people's for now. I actually got what i wanted out of the Halloween banner and i think i'm just going to fuckin chill on rolling for awhile.

His NP does drat good damage whenever you can get it at least. My preferred method to farming has been him and two berserkers to buster everything.

Hows defense even work in this game? I'm assuming there isn't actually a 'defense' stat since it isn't listed anywhere. So does "15% defense increase" mean you just take 15% less damage or what?

Motto
Aug 3, 2013

Yep. There's an awkwardly translated ingame tip stating this, but all defense ups are basically negative modifiers to incoming attacks.
