If I had a few more gears and horseshoes George's Taunt would be my first level 10 skill and I dunno where I'd go from there. Kind of feel like going all in on Okita I suppose.

Haven't got a single eye or heart yet but hey hiragumos. My George is immortal in the 40 AP caster one with the 3k heal on the default mystic code and his heal. Been using Ushi and Anne Mary but now I'm thinking of going with Herc and Kintoki.

Most likely the 5*'s on rate-up will rotate throughout the event, so I wouldn't worry about this.

The cheapest way to get the 30 paid quartz is by buying the 25 + 4 + 1 Saint Quartz packs, which is about $28.

I think it’s just a rate up banner. There’s one event quest with Scathach that rewards a ticket.

She's a single-target 5* archer with a conditional buff that isn't especially narrow, so I wouldn't really call that an L. She's even arts so they'd synergize with tamamo/hood/euryale.

It's a pity that Gilgamesh isn't a part of the guarantee 5* banner, but here's to hoping I get either Orion (to NP5 her) or Altria (NP3 my favorite character from the Fate franchise) from this banner.

Retcon
Jun 23, 2010

Well, out of those 9 servants, 3 I really want (Waver, Tamamo, Drake), 3 would be less exciting but I'm not going to complain about a new 5* servant (Artoria, Altera, Orion) and the other three would be duplicates. The possibility of a NP3 Jeanne is a bit scary but I'm still going to roll on the guaranteed gacha.

It's just a rateup banner featuring Scathach, Gilgamesh, and Kintoki, three otherwise unobtainable servants. The next event is going to be the Santa Alter Christmas special unless they do some more schedule shuffling from the JP timeline.

I consider it an L because another archer is the last thing I need on the roster.

I also slightly consider Vlad an L because I already have one berserker and I'm not comfortable with 2.

So wait, does this banner have Gilgamesh and Tamamo? I like both so I'll definitely be pulling on this banner.

Was originally gonna save for either Scathach or JAlter but a guaranteed 5* is too good to pass up.

Edit: Scathach is in this banner!? Here's hoping she's on rate up.

Tamamo's in the guaranteed 5* banner. Gilgamesh is in the Thanksgiving rateup banner alongside Scathach.

Vlad is better than whatever berserker you have. Even if it's Kintoki.

So it's 2 seperate banners. I'm guessing the guaranteed 5* banner can only be rolled once right?

I did not realize the other banner containing Gilgamesh, Scathach, and Kintoki in it. Darn it, I do not feel even remotely prepared for this. I only have just shy of 500 Saint Quartz, not nearly enough to make me feel safe in pulling either Gilgamesh or Scathach next week. I might double dip at end of the new week, which should put me just shy of over 750 quartz. That should hopefully be enough for Fate to grace me with just ONE of the five stars. Hopefully.


Kay Kessler posted:

This is pure nonsense. GOLDEN is totally awesome and should be rolled for by any who doesn't have him.

Edit: Also, we're getting a Second Archive Expansion, the ability to save multiple support setups, multi-lock function for servants and CEs, and a quest information display. Quite nice I think.

Isn't Vlad a better nerserker if you have a complete Arts team (Tamamo, Waver etc) but Kintoki is a better berserker in most other cases?

I didn't really expect to like Vlad all that much, but teaming him up with Tamamo has been insanely good.

Scathach looks cool, her design caught my eye awhile back so I'll be throwing a little bit of quartz at her. Is she actually useful too?


Also, back before I knew literally anything about Fate/ I saw some picture that had Medusa in it and I thought she looked cool as hell. So based solely on that memory I fed her some serpent jewels and ascended her today. :unsmith:

OP has a writeup with details but yeah, strong buffs including a targetable quick one, an ST NP with a stun chance, plus a pretty good conditional buff.

Yes, Scathach's pretty good. You can read Endorph's more in-depth analysis, but the tl;dr is that she does great single target damage which gets even better against Divine targets (hello, Gilgamesh), with some of her major flaws being her Quick cards suck rear end for stargenning, and she only has the one Arts card so getting her NP up can be annoying sometimes.

...an ST NP with a stun chance...

Heck, after Scathach gets her Interlude, it's not even a chance anymore, it's guaranteed assuming no debuff immunity.
