The boss of D‘Eons interlude is a bit ridiculous. He had no chance of killing me since I went in with a support Tamamo and my own Medea Lily, but even Scathach firing off a God Slayer enhanced NP barely put a dent in his HP.
I'm not sure if this was better or worse, but I just completed this one with Medea/Hans and a Support Tamamo (with a level 10 Fox Wedding) and kind of had a fun time? Sure you're only able to do damage with Rule Breaker, but she can spam it at a rate that made it rather methodical. And if it could be lined up with Hans' buffs and Fox Wedding it got fairly close to 100k.

Medea's main gimmick being that she stabs people a lot with her NP (at least that's what I use her for) will never stop being funny to me, especially considering how Rin deals with her in UBW.

Worth noting that Nero will get a rate up during Saber Wars in January maybe. And Waver will of course have to share this banner with Altera. I think one could roll for just him during the Chaldea Boys event which is after valentine's?

He'll most likely share that rate-up with Amakusa. I don't believe he ever got a second solo rate-up in JP.

I'd call that a better rateup combo than with Altera, at least.

I rolled once for waver and instead got nero, which I'm ok with.

Is bride nero a big upgrade over regular nero when she come around? Tamamo/Jeanne/Nero is almost as much immortal bullshit as Tamamo/Jeanne/Waver

Bride Nero is not even the same character. Normal Nero is a durable generalist attacker who doesn’t die and uses all her cards thanks to IP. Bride Nero is a buffer who helps herself or other allies do a ton of damage in short periods. They can work together but they actually aren’t an upgrade over each other.

What are the strats for that? Do skill cooldowns keep ticking down when they're in the back row?

I don't think so? But the most basic cheese strat is using in to jam in more buff stacking.

Nope, everything about the servant is frozen while they're in the back. Skill cooldowns, buffs/debuffs, it all freezes.

There are a lot of tricks you can do with it. It's handy for farming teams, it's great for gimmick setups where you stack like 3 support units worth of buffs onto a single character, and it's just a generally handy skill for adapting to situations. The stun on demand skill is a lifesaver often too, that one extra turn can make all the difference.

I decided to start dumping the quartz I've been saving up on the singularity banners and London, since it has a lot of Servants i want.

Managed to get Liz on the first 10 roll, which was one of my goals, did another, got...nothing much, and did a final 10 roll and had Waver and Alexander show up together. My first 5*! :toot:

I'll drop some more tomorrow and see if I can get the gay pirates to appear. Then the rest goes towards Fran Summoning.

Nursery Rhyme is a good book and remains one of the best attack Casters in Japan even today. The defense down on her NP is good stuff.

"Attack Casters" can struggle in general due to the attack stat tax they take, but some of them like Rhymes can still do work if they can get stars.

Liz is going to be loving great once her Strengthening Quest goes live, and Waver never really stops being relevant as a support, so :toot: grats!

I don't know what's available on NA but on JP I like the Atlas one that has the skill to advance skill charge 2 ticks. Because nothing you can do is stronger than re casting a max Merlin's buffs 2 turns earlier.
Edit: Looks really lame though.

Combat suit is by far the best, regardless of goons talking up their lovely favourite mystic codes. But as with servants you can make a lot of stuff work and the game isn't that hard that you can't just go with the one that looks the best.

Pretty sure that recasting your max Merlins buffs immediately is stronger.
