I'm probably gonna call it after NP5 Lily. Of course I'd love the mats, but I need to get around to building others. Saber Alter was very quickly max ascended, but it's gonna take some doing to get others close.

With Nero, Salter, and Lily all unleveled, and with only Caesar at level 50 as my 3-star Saber, I think it's finally going to be impossible to clear the bonus missions on Saber point Servants alone. I'll probably have to throw my Waver and maybe Cu in there, unless anyone can reassure me an 80 Artoria, 75 Okita, and 75 Altera, plus whatever support, can still clear.

EDIT: This post, btw, coming from someone who originally started as a Melty Blood player, is extremely interesting, though it doesn't go into any detail as to that era of T-M (a pity): https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/7q2rl9/the_trail_of_typemoon_the_biography_of_typemoon/

I need Salter and og Altria to have all the saberfaces and the only one I really tried for was Jeanne when I was doing the rerolls. All the other ones came from doing single 30 rolls shooting for someone else.

I'm really really going to try for bride though and watch me not get her

I think they added her in just so the Caster class has a genuine spook because prior to this all the nonlimited SSR Casters were pretty darn good. After all she's like one of 2 unlimited SSRs released during the entirety of EoR.

Default Bride looks fine! (Aside for the unfortunate case of the belts and zippers) The other two arts look varying level of horrible, but her sprites look fine.

Seriously the only reason I'm rolling for her is that I already have a bunch of strong arts units and I might as well play to that strength instead of relying on getting a bunch of buster units to enable a buster based crit team. My plan is to get her, saber lancelot and summer altria to have a good all around arts team. Since I have tamamo, jeanne and mash I can stall forever, I just need the damage

Depending on your party, maybe borrow a MLB Pure bloom Nero and have her unleash her AoE to clear the Chimera's.

I did the chimeras first, and got a little lucky with the RNG by getting a Brave chain with Okita to take out one instantly. I think I was able to stun the other two with MHX's stun the next turn, just ate regular ol' damage for the round after that, and then just got lucky with Jack not NPing or focusing too much on Okita (who didn't have the Guts skill from the CE).

My own fight went down to the wire and RNG made me extremely lucky with
a)My Okita who started on the frontlines surviving all the way to the very end.
b)My lvl 1 MHX on the backline not only surviving long enough to activate her stun but
c)Having the stun proc on all three of them.

Yeah, I brought along my Waver for the fight, so this is obv going to be a different experience than other people who are trying to run it purely with points characters. I had Waver, Artoria, Support MHX, with Okita waiting in the back with Lily and Caesar. I put Imaginary Around on Artoria, Star of Artoria on Waver, Star on Lily, had an MLB Star on the support, and Okita had MLB Purely Bloom.

The strategy was to build up NP in the first round for MHX and Artoria. Because of the IA on Artoria and Waver, no matter what I did she was guarenteed to have her NP for the Chimeras ready. When the second round starts, Excaliblast the Chimera (this will absolutely kill them even without damage buffs thanks to the Stars) and stun Jack with the plugsuit's spell. I also had MHX use Fire Support for the chance of next turn stun. If all goes well Jack is stunned for two turns and you can just unload on her.

Depending on what you want to do you could probably use Waver's NP to stall her a little, but I didn't bother because I wanted either MHX or Artoria to die so Okita could come in. IIRC, I could be wrong, Jack's NP and probably her normal attacks all prioritize females, as my Waver didn't get touched once, so you can use that in team comps to manipulate who gets swapped in and what you can do with that.

Kind of depends on your own team. I've got a high level Altera with an MLB Purely Bloom in my front row, so her NP conveniently nukes both Chimeras along with tossing a Def. Down debuff on Jack. So just went with standard strategy and used a friend Okita for my support to burn down Jack - as much as possible, she still ended up getting off her NP on Altera, then Information Erasured off evasion and wiping Okita too on the same turn, but it was thankfully mostly cleanup by then.

If you can't do that, it depends on how fast you can burn enemies down. Jack gets extremely painful once she's getting 3 actions a turn (Information Erasure ho!), but Chimeras do a LOT of damage. If you can manage to kill her fast, probably go for her first, but that's a lot of HP to burn through.

Secondary idea, bring along a Berserker (Vlad or Herc) with an MLB Purely Bloom.

She was the first SSR I pulled. Figured it was the gatcha setting the tone.

I found her pretty useful in the early game when I had little else though.

You can never have enough Fous. My Tamamo still hasn't gotten hers, and every time she's going to be next in line, someone takes her spot. Last two times were Lancer Alter and MHX... except I also pulled a Drake from the MHX banner, and she definitely needs the extra Attack to farm without needing full buffs.

That's how you get tinnitus

I brought Nursery Rhyme against Jack, along with MHX and friend Okita to feed her stars. But in the end it was MHX's and Okita's NPs that did the most damage to her, I got kind of unlucky with the cards I got after using Rhyme's crit skill. At least her NP stalled Jack's NP for one turn (along with killing the chimeras), and I was able to finish her off the next turn.
