Nero is appropriately awesome for this stage.

Team Waifu Laifu (Tamamo, Nero, Nero Bride) absolutely wrecked this stage - I was doing everything suboptimally because I was tired, and I still finished with no deaths and everyone around half health. Tamamo still had her NP too.

Martha gets Buster Card Up for 1 Turn on her NP and the usual increased damage.

if she applies it before her np its just another damage increase on her np basically

I mean, the worst thing about Martha is her NP, so it's just kind of a weird buff to me. You use her because she can stick around for a while, throw mud in the enemy's face, and keep other folks standing, not because she does a lot of damage (only 8000 attack without Fous).

But then again the additional problem is Riders are so in general good it's hard to think of anyone to give a buff to. Gold Riders in general don't need the help. If you're gonna buff some gold Rider, might as well be Marie and Martha, who have been kinda lagging behind for a while. Still hoping against hope tomorrow's an across-the-board Instinct buff. Everyone getting different effects, of course.

Waver, Avenger, and Saber Alter took that quest down handily. I was a bit worried since Waver and Saber needed to NP to clear the second wave, but Waver survived a big hit from Caligula with 8 HP and Caligula himself went down very quickly to focus fire.

I did the event last night before bed with a team of Saber Alter, Nero Cola Classic and Nursery Rhyme. Used Rhyme's NP to weaken the second wave, then finished it off with regular attacks while building her NP back up. Third wave was annihilated by Laus St. Claudius > Nursery Rhyme > Excalibur Morgan.

Yeah according to the reddit guide tonight is:

Round 1: Wyvern Evil (lv33 Caster) 10,2k HP Wyvern Evil (lv36 Caster) 11,2k HP Wyvern Evil (lv33 Caster) 10,2k HP
Round 2: Wyvern Origin (lv58 Rider) 203,2k HP - -
Round 3: Amakusa Shirou (lv85 Ruler) 143,5k HP Jeanne d'Arc (lv88 Ruler) 172,5k HP)

I'm just gonna burn command seals on Dantes to wipe out Amakusa before he can get up to any bullshit with his buff-stripping NP.

Wave 2 Wyvern is apparently something you basically have to instant kill with Shiki to have a shot, otherwise it will be super annoying.

Also don't forget, Amakusa's NP cannot be blocked or evaded under any circumstances. Kill that dude first!!

Martha's multiplier increase plus new buff makes for a 60% damage increase at NP1 (less at higher levels because of diminishing returns for each 100% you add to the base NP multiplier), putting her in "mediocre" rather than "terrible", while retaining a decent level of spammability. It's not too bad.

Hans is a fine choice. Waver/Shiki is already arts-centric which Hans slots into, plus he can feed Shiki stars and buff her crit damage.

That sounds...unpleasant.

My best bet is probably a lead of Waver, Avenger and Vlad, with Shiki and...Emiya, I guess in the back line. Front 3 try to gain NP on the first wave, then swap in Shiki for Vlad, use Waver to get her up to 100% NP and gank the wyvern, then hopefully she dies so I can chain Unreturning Formation, Kazikli Bey, and Chateau? Maybe spend a command seal to NP with Avenger again if I need it.

Right on. In lieu of any ideal gold Servants, I've been feeling Hans for the same reason. It feels a little slow, but if I focus on reliably delivering those Shiki NPs it seems to work well. If I'm reading her NP right, the damage is always the same and only the death-chance is affected by Overcharge, so against enemy Servants it seems like the idea is to just get her to 100% charge and fire her like a bullet.
