Setting up your support list to get the most FP is the closest thing FGO has to PVP gameplay. That's why you'll see so many people people telling you you don't need Mona Lisa; if you don't have it that means more people will use theirs.

They'll deny it, of course.

i have every three star i care about at np5 so i am sitting on ~130k fp and its not worth my time to spend it

i guess you could very very slowly get CE xp but it seems pretty pointless to amass fp

if you want Angra Mainyu, you will need hundreds of thousands of FP. if you want him at NP5 you are going to need millions. he's not that good, true, but he's difficult to attain and if you value Having Things, you will need more than your usual income of FP to attain him.

also, having huge stockpiles of FP is helpful for getting more of the low-level event currency booster CEs, especially if it's an event you don't plan to roll for a lot. Gudaguda's store being nearly impossible to clear without tons of apples or having a ton of the 5* CE on hand is going to be closer to the norm than the exception.

and long-term, it might actually be a mana prism profit

I believe in my connection with Angra. He'll come to me, even if I don't save for him.



Soon, he'll be my first Bond lvl.10 Servant on JP. He's NP4.

I will never use Phantom, and my other bonus Servants aren't high enough level for me to feel comfortable putting him in the very back of my party. So for me at least, the cost for my party will be a tad higher.

I consider it prudent to assume the need for at least one more slot for another 5* CE, specifically Present For My Master, to give oneself even the smallest of increased chances of clearing out the important stuff in the shop. I also think that setup is going to have trouble clearing the 50AP anyway.

Five seems unnecessary though.

base Mona Lisa CE is only +2% QP, Max Limit Break Mona Lisa however is +10%

oh no!!! how will i grind QP!?



Mona Lisa CE bonus stacks. So with a support and your own, you have +20%

Best case Scenario setup is:
Santa Alter, Jack, Nursery Rhyme, Martha, Marie, and support Santa Alter with 4 Holy Sign
which have a cost of 112, and give the base bonus of +17 with 100% stocking boost.

The second best case, with a cost of 104 is:
Santa Alter, Jack, Nursery Rhyme, Martha (or Marie), Phantom of the Opera, and Support Santa Alter with 4 Holy Sign
which gives the base bonus of +16 with 100% stocking boost.
(4+3+2+2+1+4 = 16)

It’s impossible to have 112 cost in NA. Also you don’t really need an extra gold star CE if you are planning on farming the events. Even just the apples from the boxes and clear rewards will almost clear the gold star shop even in 40ap.

It's moot point anyway because it counts on getting Jack.

This is the best I'm going to be able to manage since I lack any of the Golds on the banner unless I luck into Nursery when I throw a 10 roll or two at her.



I'm using Nobu and some random 5-star CEs as stand-ins for Santa Alter and the Stocking CE. Assuming another Santa Alter in the support slot, the bonus comes out to a modest +12. At least its a team that seems ready to take on the 50AP, especially since I've got enough embers stockpiled to get Santa Alter to somewhere in the 60s.

There's a reason I also listed the second best setup. And the Holy Night Sign CE I mentioned is about getting the stockings drop to efficiently run the lottery with apples over and over again. Mostly to acquire massive amounts of mana prisms.

It's MAGIC. I don't have to explain shit!


We only have about 4 days to run the lottery with Santa Alter, right? So it's really just going to be mostly focused around the end of the event.

Pretty much. The only things needed prior to that is to buy out the KFC buckets and Holy Night Sign CEs, and I guess roll the lottery every now and then. Might as well just live in the 40AP getting as many stars/stockings as possible. Maybe it won't be that hard to clear out a couple of boxes? Then switch gears completely once day 6 hits.

So, how would you guys stat Caster Stephen King? While there's no way he's getting into FGO due to being still alive, he's totally getting into the Throne of Heroes alongside Dumas.

Maximum Overdrive should totally be a skill.

His attacks are just him throwing hardcopies of It, The Stand, and Under the Dome at the enemies. That would hurt.

Why do the max bond CE's all only add 100HP and ATK?

Probably because they have unique and potentially powerfull effects. Nero has a party wide 15% arts buff, permanent. Altera's is flat 15% damage boost for all allies. Salter's gives a 30% chance to def down on each normal attack. Arash heals and purges debuffs for the party when he dies (to his NP). Basically they either have the generic +15 to stat for the party or something really neat that most regular CEs can't do.

And 3 hours till I can see whether I need to whale for this.

E: looks like Cused arm's boosts death chance by 20%, wonder how that interacts with King Hassan's 5% death chance on every attack. Also, the King becomes pretty much immune to debuffs with his on, so that's neat.
