I'd like to think that when Emiya saw Santa Alter jump onto their ship he was thinking to himself "Oh what is this fresh hell"

The subplot of this whole game is Emiya just trying to run the Chaldea cafeteria in peace but constantly being interrupted by a neverending stream of friends and family who have been possessed by deities, are from alternate realities, or are just wearing an embarrassing costume.

I don't get the appeal of Jeanne Alter. She's clearly a community-beloved character, and it's not that I hate her, but I really don't get it.

I had Emiya show up on a random-rear end ticket thrown into the story gacha early on. Since then, Cu, Medusa, Medea, Kojirou, and Cursed-Arm have all shown up.

My Chaldea is a Seibah and a Herakles away from a F:SN reunion, and then they can all sit around a bowl of stir-fry and reminisce about that time they all tried (and in some cases succeeded) to murder each other.

Gameplay wise she's the biggest offensive powerhouse in the game so many people like her for that.

Personality wise she's a tryhard edgelord who's also a tsundere and also something of a humongous dork, and those are appealing traits for many people.

I'm not sure what the wiki has against her but being strong against berserkers is pretty nifty. Even at only level 65 she facetanks like a pro.

Yeah, same. I feel bad for all of the Santas with non-MLB HNS I am skipping but that street goes two ways since of course I don't have one either. Then again if you're running the lottery it's not like anyone is hurting for FP.

I'm currently at 13 or so boxes and while I'm not sure I'll be able to get to my hypothetical maximum (37 more, so about 50 total) that is still a huge chunk of resources that I will gladly dig into.

Jeanne Alter gets a lot better in her focus event, right now she's just kind of a generic villain but she gets lots of nuance and funny character quirks once she's actually playable. And Shinjuku is an entire singularity of her and Saber Alter arguing.

JAlter starts at around 6:50 or so.

I can see why she appeals to folks.

That's SAlter. JAlter is the world's worst tsundere. As in, she tries to be but fails massively at every stage.

I'm just making sure, but I can still spend socks to roll the lottery for a few days after the event is over, right?

Because I have a huge stack of apples that I intend on going through tonight and for most of tomorrow, and I'd rather focus on doing more runs than going through the box opening and ember spending process.

...She's behind me, isn't she?
bryn is v. cute and I personally prefer her to Shishou

As someone who uses her as my main Lancer, Primordial Rune is really the only thing I'm regularly disappointed by. I mean, I guess 30% NP Damage down pairs nicely with like Mashu or Waver or something, but for the most part I kind of just forget about the skill. I do wish that her anti-Bryn's Beloved lasted for the entire turn instead of just working on her NP though.
