30AP Saber dailies. However we are going to get 20 of 'em in GUDAGUDA if that drops this month. I would only do the Saber runs if you need, like, 2.

There's no way Gudaguda doesn't drop in November. The only question is whether it's mid-November or late.

Well the Guda Order manga and the hold over banner and interlude 1/2ap all end around 11/08. So you can assume it'll be within a week or so of that all ending.

but seriously, this halloween event suck rear end. I have no idea what I was doing for like half of the event other than just doing the random stages that pop up. A lack of progression really makes it feel like a pointless grind compared to Moon Fest, which technically has a worse grind because it's doing the lowest ap mission again and again.

I guess knowing that you're progressing really is important if you want to feel good about doing something.

Did four runs of Bountiful Sea. No Phoenix Feathers, but I did get a handful of magic chestnuts (Yggdrasil Seeds) so that's helpful.

So I did manage to bum-rush the Halloween story in the last couple hours. In addition to yet another caster and an extra grail, I've got a smattering of event currency. Not enough to get anything good like Liz or a CE though. What cheap stuff in the shop is worth having, or should I just burn it all for QP?

Scales, Homunculus Babies, and some of the other ascension mats are good. Fangs can be farmed now and bones are given away regularly, so they're low priority.

Mats and then monuments, IMO. Don't burn it for QP unless you have literally all of them.

Also even if you can't afford an extra Liz I would still try for the ascension candy items, otherwise she will be permanently stuck at 40 or wherever.

Vlad with Black Grail, Tamamo, and the original mystic code up is really fun. Stacking attack bonuses puts me in 6 figure damage territory and I can manage the hp loss with healing. It’s great.

I just realized there's a very real chance I'll empty out all of my QP from all the ascensions I'll get out of GUDAGUDA, so it might be a good idea to spend now until then doing nothing but the treasure vault dailies.

The following Servants give you an extra boost to income during GudaGuda, so its worth ascending/leveling three-four of them:

Emiya, Cu Chulainn (Lancer), Medusa, Mephistopheles, Ushiwakamaru, & Benkei. Emiya gives a 40% boost, the rest give 20%.

do they stack

Motto
Aug 3, 2013

Nobu and Okita do also for even more, so make sure to include the former and grab the latter as a support. There are also daily one-time quests that collectively give a ton of points if you stack bonuses right, so look out for those.

Yes.

Okita gives a 100% boost and Nobu gives a 60% boost, so the optimal team is Okita (if you roll her), Nobu, Support Okita, Emiya, and any two of (Medusa, Ushi, Mephistopheles, Benkei, Cu Chulainn)

Got Emiya, Ushi, and Cu at decent-to-good levels so I'll be in largely good shape, then.

Need them fuckin' talons.

And crystals.

And horseshoes

And basically everything tbqh. So many ascensions gonna come from that event.

Unfortunately the boosts don't help you get any of those things; only feathers and scales. Shop currency boosts only come from gatcha CEs.

My only concern regarding GUDAGUDA is that if you want to use Nobu, does that mean that players should stockpile gold XP cards for her, lest you want to be stuck with a level 1 Nobu for those runs?

In addition to the standard Currency Item farming, doing the quests get you Points. As you hit Point thresholds you automatically get rewards. Notably it's how you get your Welfare Nobu permanently as well as her NP upgrades.

AFAIK Octuplets is one of those mats that never has a great place to farm them until really late in the game. This is why farming Gaul when the 1/2 AP Free Quest thing came along was considered a good idea. GUDAGUDA has 20 of them for what it's worth.

Could be worse though, could be horseshoes.

In addition to shop currencies that work the same way as previous events GUDAGUDA has drops of points which aren't spent but award you things when you reach certain thresholds. Specific servants and the shop CEs boost these point drops; it's not infeasible to hit +300% from just free stuff and supports, so points shouldn't be too hard to get.

Shop currencies, on the other hand, are only boosted by gatcha CEs. Also you can only trade shop currencies up, not down, so it seems like it won't be a fun shop to clear.
