When does Merlin drop? Camelot?
Not only does Merlin drop in December, but the previous two banners in the same month are:

Enkidu(5*), Medusa Lancer (4*), Caster Gil (4*)
Quez(5*),Gorgon(4*),Taiga(3*)

It's one hell of an expensive month. Personally I'm going to try to horde my summon tickets because Merlin's banner is him alone and it's non-event, so one can literally stop once they get one of him.

You're not mentioning ishtar that comes before Merlin and musashi/king Hassan right after.

It's like immediately following up jalter with the summer event.

So, after watching Apocrypha Pt.1, I think I'm gonna fully ascend and max Frankie because I want to help her. How viable is she as a Berserker? I like that she can boost her NP gain, make it stronger, and stun the enemy. However, the idea of her stunning and burning herself for 2-3 rounds is discouraging. She feels like a BerserCat but marginally worse?

It's definitely going to be a situation of giving maybe a sympathetic roll towards a few neat servants but having to really step back and ask yourself which ones you feel you really want. I feel pretty compelled at this stage to go all out for both Jalter and Merlin, and would like Gorgon and Taiga because they are going to be hard to get otherwise. King Hassan is rad as f but I already have Jack, and I'm already quite rich with Archers even though I'd certainly love Ishtar.

As much as any other servant with three arts cards I guess. The problem with that pairing to me is more that Saber/Archer are competing spots in the class triangle, and seals Salter's strength against Lancers unless you're willing to live with Emiya being exposed.

Her 2nd skill is really good, everything else about her kit is garbage though. You correctly placed her as Tamamo Cat, but worse. And Tamamo isn't all that good herself tbh, especially compared to the other 4* Zerkers.

FWIW most analysis/tier lists I've seen seem to go Lancelot>Fran>TamaCat in terms of Quick-based AOE zerkers.

My Lancelot (70 atm) was my go to for the longest time until I leveled up Cat (80), whom felt better based on NP gain alone since I didn't have a Kaleidoscope at the time. If Frankie (60 atm) can sit up there in the Cat range, then I will probably end up swapping to her for general use but stick Lancelot on my Support Roster with a Kaleidoscope. Thanks for the feedback.

Mediocre skills, mediocre stats, low survivability and OK damage that comes with being Berserker and what would be ridiculously powerful NP if it wasn't completely crippled by its 2 turns self-stun. Pair her with someone who can cleanse debuffs like Medea Lily or Martha and she can do a solid job as a damage dealer. Even without it, she can wave clear like a champ.

God bless.

People keep telling me Iskander is bad, but a friend's 100 10/10/10 Isakander carried me through the Halloween 2016 rerun and helped immensely in other events far better than, say, a Drake ever could have.

Dude's AOE NP damage did single target NP damage to every enemy.

I put over 200 quartz and maybe 20 tickets into the Mordred banner a few weeks back with nothing to show for it but ten copies of Necromancy. Threw a single what-the-hell ticket at the current banner and out drops Saber Alter :psyduck: Don't roll for waifus y'all

I dropped all my quartz and tickets on Nero back during Nerofest, didn't get any gold servants at all. I dropped all my quartz and tickets on Okita back during GUDAGUDA, the only thing I got was loving Siegfried. I dropped one single ticket on the current SAlter banner and got Drake

I didn't even like Drake

Yeah I sadly think Caster Gil/Medusa Lancers are the odd ones out from that month, because there's a decent chance they could show up elsewhere eventually. There'd be no such luck with Gorgon.

Tristan if we're talking about the most recent free 4* campaign in JP

I've tried out Lobo and Gorgon supports to see how they play and they're okay, but they weren't that great to me, Jalter is just that broken as an Avenger.

Also gonna have to go with Tamamo Cat being a better quick Zerker compared to Lancelot and Fran
