One last roll, and Jack actually shows up! Definitely time to stop rolling... a bit sad that none of the 4* rate-ups showed up, but this is plenty.

Now to get her levelled... oh, of course I would have forgotten to get some assassin pieces. Guess that should wait until after I can get the shop CEs.

I don't see what the big deal about Jack is anyw-- murders Mary on the first turn, recharges a huge chunk of NP, 5000 stars go flying everywhere

Yep. Using my Jack and a support one, I went into the Stheno/Euryale round with almost 50 crit stars, proceeded to pop her Noble Phantasm on Stheno to immediately delete her, then chunked Euryale with 100% crit Quicks + Extra... and she was back to full NP again.

It's kind of hilarious how ridiculously better she is than the other Assassins in the game so far.

Which repeatable is best for grinding for stockings? I managed to do all of them once thanks to W.T. Fits' Jack and my Jack just slicing them up, but 40 AP was really close

Two more 10 rolls.

Too many loving March of the saints, and a bunch of other taunting poo poo. All topped off with a loving black keys.

No jack either. Thanks Fate.

Whatever the highest AP is with the largest stocking boosts (both party and CE) you can manage. Playing around with the values in this spreadsheet (after you download it/copy it) might help indicate what the expected sock/AP rates are for any given setup you want to try.

In the wrong hands, the stapler is a deadly weapon.

Did a free 10-roll, and was getting pretty much crap. Then the very last card gave me a Present For My Master. Certainly could've been worse.

I figure I'll just focus on the 10 and 20 for now, clear out the lesser currency shops while Santa isn't an option. Is this a terrible idea?

at a minimum, get as many of the shop CEs as you can before doing the event story quests. They drop stacks of stockings much larger than the free quests, so you want to get the double drops from them.

Whatever the highest you can do is, so the 40. It's rougher than the rest, but I found it doable with just silvers supporting a friend Jack.

Do the story quests stay until the end of the event, or just 24 hours?

Special thanks to Ephekt for making me roll on the Jack banner:


The first was a silver turned into gold, and then the second one was a rainbow summon. I almost shat myself when I saw the second was a gold assassin card.

Buying the CE at each level first and coming back for the materials is slightly better, but it's not a huge difference

Is the time to use apples just at the end when Santa Alter becomes available, wait until after getting the shop CEs, or just use 'em at will throughout?

Ideally, it's to wait until the end when Santa Alter is available and you have the shop CE's.

60 more quartz later, Jack is now NP2, I have a total of 3 each of the 4 and 5* gacha CEs, and I can now Vive me some France. These are by far the best rolls any banner in this game has ever given me.

Good work Jack.



Also I cleared out a couple slots on my friends list who hadn't been on for a bit, 689,911,373 if anyone needs to borrow a Jack and/or whatever gold CE.

Pretty much every other assassin I use a quick chain and wind up with like 20-30 stars, with jack I get one quick crit and end up with like 60. I swear there’s a digit off in her stargen or something.

It's not because of her star-generation stat, which is about the same as the other Assassins (25.5% vs. CAH's 25.2% for example), but because her Quick cards have 5 hits instead of the typical 2 or 3 the other starting Assassins have. Also because of her Quick buff when it's up, obviously.

So is there any way to control which artwork a support servant uses, or is it based on whatever the friend has them set to? Because if it's the latter I've got some very irresponsible parents on my friends list. Jack is going to catch her death of cold.

You can’t control it, but by default the game doesn’t allow the friend to either. The setting in options allows you to see what appearance and card the user chose, otherwise it’ll just use whatever the last ascension they have is.

They should last until the end of the event (you have to clear the prologue and first night before you can actually grind the free quests though).

Right, that's what that button does. Just gonna turn that on. And now I can easily spot the pedos on my friend's list and never give them FP.

Just cleared the 40 AP, and it went pretty smooth with a full silver bonus team + Support Jack. Decided to hide Jack in the 4th slot so my level 30 Darius can plow through all those caster hands before he implodes the moment someone looks at him. In the end only Darius and Caesar died. So I just need to clear out the first raffle and get 2 fangs from the second so I can final ascend Robin and I should be good for the 50.

Robin has an inverted S growth, doesn't he? I feel like these last ten levels should be worth a ton of atk.

Some enemies have debuff resistance. Atalanta, for example, has 12.5% debuff resistance, which is annoying because I keep trying to nuke her with Robin Hood.
