Again, reminder: if you have a decently leveled Salter, Nero, Mordred, Okita, or vanilla Artoria, please slap a Purley Bloom on them (ideally MLBed).

In terms of Altrium-to-AP ratio, yes it is a bad move.

Need one last purely bloom to MLB so Scathach doesn't take forever even with my high leveled sabers. Takes me about 20-24 turns to whittle her down and most times with Okita and Nero at the end. I'm in constant fear of her instant death activating to break through evade and the mystic code invincibility if that actually happens. I did Tesla with a full saber team but had to burn all three command seals to do beat it.

I want to grind the items for those pretty CE first. I have 101 golden apples so I'm willing to blow them up a bit.

Run the 20AP or the 40AP Jeanne node for transistors, the 25Ap for lenses, and the 40AP Drake node for tubes until you have the CEs from the shop.

Okita with a MLBed Purley Bloom drops 600,000 on Scathach if it's in a NP chain for me. It's important.

there's like five hundred missions, and honestly, I can't remember which ce goes with which items yet

Thank you everyone, the help has really come in handy already. Will hopefully get PB on Mordred by today.
Getting 2900 of each drop doesn't seem so bad now, and I don't have any of the extra drop CEs yet either. Hopefully I'll get lucky.

Trueshot in the Jeanne level for Transistors.
Mikotto Bridal Training for Lenses in the Tesla one.
5* CE for Vacuum Tubes in the Scathach level.

Note that if you have a Friend Scathach, Best Dog, or a combination, you can also farm the Tesla 40AP for Lenses. You will still get more Altrium per AP than a full bonus party doing the 25AP.

You have no idea how badly I wanted to burn each of the three Nero summons I got today in search of MHX, but I abstained. I was not aware before now, because it only tells you on the actual website, the days that Alter can be summoned in the gacha, and today was not part of those days.

Is there like a minimum bonus you need for the 40 aps to be more efficient or can you run a no-bonus max-carnage setup and still come out ahead?

But... I posted that exact info on here to give people a heads up...

BTW they updated the news page with the rateup schedule.

First couple of days Nero is on solo rateup. If you want Alter you'll have to wait until 10th (!) of January for her solo.

Possibly because SAlter got to hog the SR slot all to herself during the New Year's Banner.

I've now pulled 5 copies of Hercules within 90 quartz, although split between NA and JP unfortunately. Look Herc I love you too bud but you gotta let other servants get a chance.

Also man with my only sabers on NA being NP 1 Fergus and Caesar this events kinda rough to grind through.

On this note, to the kind goon with the level 100 Scathach, please give her a sickass Purely Bloom. Other servants don't need any ATK when I have ghost mom to plow through everything. (I mean she still NPed Tesla for 80% of his health but there's no reason it shouldn't be 100%)

Also MHX might suck but her and a little girl just poo poo out stars. Quick crit might have fallen in disfavor later in the game but its still fun now.

I read a strategy that seemed relatively compelling, but I'm going to wait on trying it until I get another Star of Artoria and (hopefully) a Purley Bloom to drop before I try and report back.

she's a mediocre 5-star, but she's still a 5-star with a single target NP that has an interlude, she's still fine for murdering riders and throwing out stars

My plan for the final quest is to stick a MLB Purely Bloom on Nursery Rhyme and have Caesar and MHX feed her stars so she can crit the boss to death. I'll have a friend Sieg kill the dragon then swap him out once his job is done.

Hopefully someone will have a Sieg up as support by the time I have enough Star CEs
