Huh, I was wondering since I never got to play CCC. I just assumed they got weird artists again, re: Scheherazade and Anne.

It's amazing how much easier the 40 AP quest gets when you decide that you just want to make grinding stars easier and sub out one of the bonus Servants for Heracles. He just rampages through everything. With a Support Jack with Holy Night Sign I only really lose 1 stocking per drop, which does add up, but makes farming stars for the CE way easier. I can finish in half the time, Berserker is truly the strongest in the world.

Personally I'm more curious where Santa Alter got the costume. Maybe asked Emiya to make it.

Even if I get an unlucky round and Jack somehow dies before I get Anne and Mary down everyone else does a drat good job finishing up.

The 'Jean Kay' joke works less well once you realize that if Altria can't read Chinese she's just going to see an indecipherable set of lines instead of a mispronounced name.

Edit: Unless the name is written in english and the point of contention is that she can't pronounce it, I guess.

Even if it isn't Optimal Stockings I think I'm just gonna stick with this friend Jack for when Santa unlocks. Just being able to flat-out delete A+M on the last wave of the 40AP is too useful.

If you get a brave chain, you can straight up delete both A&M and Martha in one fell swoop. Then it's just praying you get the right cards to nuke Nya before she pops NP and clears your wave.

As much as I would love to continue using the lottery to level up Jack (and I'm sure whomever else is using her would also love that for the 40AP), I think I'm going to leave her at 50 for now. Santa Alter will apparently require 219 non-class cards on top of the Rider XP cards I currently have to get to 80, and it feels like a better idea to try to prepare for that now rather than later.

Haven't played CCC yet, but to be honest those comics where Passionlip sits at the Chaldea's kids table are probably the only time I've liked her character.

Good work, Jack

With Jack, the goal is not so much getting to 50 stars, but to see how many wasted stars past 50 you can make. I think my personal best is around 63ish?

Get yourself an Altera or Lancelot and you're pretty well set.

I ended up with Nursery Rhyme on my first roll and probably could have and should have stopped there. Oh how naive I was.

My best stars was somewhere in the 70s I think. Though that was with the Okita/Jack Power team.

Is Jeanne Alter as insane as she looks.

Trihugger

hello
Most Arts based teams aren't great at generating stars. Ideally you generate stars off of 2030, but sticking Jack with the Arts damage dealers like Vlad/Bride Nero/Archer Altria can work too.

Most Berserkers are bad at generating stars and also have the worst star absorbtion. So feeding berserkers enough crit stars generally means you need to get tons of stars for everybody.

Archers have Independent Action which boosts their crit damage and Riders have high star absorbtion. Emiya has kinda crappy non-crit damage, but hits extremely hard when he does crit. We don't have a lot of high damage Riders right now. Kintoki Rider will be a free event 4* and is a good candidate in the future.

And of course, Jeanne Alter is terrible at star generation, but if you feed her stars, she'll pretty much hit like a Berserker without the downside of taking double damage to everything.

So Avengers are equally as poo poo at generating/absorbing stars as Zerkers are?

hello
At base Avengers have bad star absorbtion, but most Avengers have a skill that significantly boosts their star absorbtion for 3 turns if you really need it. I think Snek Avenger is the only one without a star absorbtion skill.

A single crit buster card from Jalter (properly buffed) Can do well over 180k by itself. I basically steamrolled Camelot onward just stalling until I got the perfect crit combo and then deleting the bosses in a single turn.

She can buff her buster and crit damage by up to 50% each, and they have 4 hits. When things are going right, her NP is comparatively just another buff for her buster cards.
