So since the NA trailer for America dropped, can I restate my frustration with them still not having put Saber Diarmuid in the game? Because I really want Saber Diarmuid.

You don’t need class advantage or instant death against a ghost, just take it slow and steady



Though since I could bring in one of my good good support Vlads for the Dante’s fight, that went much quicker

Went with Medea/Hans/D'Eon for the first fight, with Medea Lily and Scathach in the backrow. It ended up being a bit close, but two stuns from the Mystic Code and Scathach were enough to close it out. D'Eon was there to make sure that the first wave of ghost wouldn't wear down Medea and Hans too much, thanks to Hans' NP and a March of the Saints CE they ended up sticking around almost until the end of the fight.

Second fight was Vlad getting rid of most of Dante's HP with two NP brave chains, thanks to a support Waver. Had to use my backrow to finish Dantes off after that, but I cleared both fights without command spells, so I still feel accomplished.

Also, I like how there was an in-story explanation for why you need to clear London before you can do these quests, that was pretty neat.

Really, the worst part is there's no saloon battlefields anywhere in E Pluribus. At least they'll make up for no bar brawls in about a half dozen story chapters, give or take.

E Pluribus is fond in my memory because it's the last time I felt anywhere close to obligation to use story supports exclusively during main story chapters. Once I hit Camelot, my criteria was always "Whatever wins me the fight".

You make do with what you have when Astolfo and Sieg are your strongest units. I think I used Bedi all of once during the entirety of Camelot.

I cannot beat this loving ghost. If the point of this event is to make me want Dantes then it's having the opposite effect, because he feels like a weight around my neck.
I just stuck him in the far back (just ahead of my backup Herc w/ Bond CE). I killed everyone with just Medea/Hans/Caster Liz on the frontline, with Hans' NP frantically healing people.. No grails, some 5* CEs where appropriate (Heaven's Feel on Medea, Prisma Cosmos on Hans), otherwise no funny business. It was close a few times (helps to overcharge Hans' NP for more healing) but I didn't lose anyone.

Yeah it's really hard to lose if you have a level 60 hans and constantly use his np. The boss just does not do enough damage, especially if you play super safe and also use mash.

...She's behind me, isn't she?
5 tickets and a 10-roll on the White Day banner and I picked up 2 Yagyu CE, Karna CE, Dantes CE, 2 Rie-bait CE, and NP2 Astolfo, so I'm pretty happy. Wanted NP2 Proto Arthur but wasn't really expecting much, so getting most of the new CEs is cool. Hoping to get either the Arthur CE or the Yan Qing/Fuuma CE from the summoning tickets we get so I can choose the other one as my freebie and get pretty much everything I wanted.

In a game where your ability to actually play the game itself is not limited by AP I can see the merit in not looking stuff up ahead so as to make it more fun, but I'd just rather not risk having pay SQ or apples to give myself enough tries to figure it out. Especially when I know that in the future the challenges will get even crazier/specific. Aren't there some in Nerofest that you can't retry as well?

I think if you had to attempt the one with a hundred enemies more than once you'd probably go mad, but that's not quite the same thing. There are quests where you can't use SQ to revive, though.

So between the 35 Quartz from America, 10 from the prerelease campaign, probably another 10 or 15 from this stream, looks like the Jalter fund for some people is gonna be stacked.

Well, I managed to beat the event. I spent ~7 apples grinding the caster exp mission and leveled Medea Lily from 1 to 80, and then did her interlude and leveled her skills a bunch. The resulting Hans/Medea/Medea Lily team very slowly ground down the ghost but never even came close to even one of them dying, so I'll take it.

I oneshot Dantès himself although it was close

(good thing he didn't Steel Determination!)

and most of the credit should probably go to my friend's grailed 10/10/10 Herc :sweatdrop:

Looking forward to E Pluribus Unum, I hope the writing/translation quality manages to meet the high bar set by this event.

Edit: Also, Medea Lily's interlude is great :3:

In the wrong hands, the stapler is a deadly weapon.

And that's that for the event. Pretty fun stuff, and I found it enough of a challenge that I had to resort to Command Seals, which I have no regrets about. The ghost battle was a royal pain, and it didn't help that my best Caster is Halloween Liz. Sounds like leveling up Hans would've been really useful for this, but no point crying about it now.

Take this as a lesson to level up your Hans. Hans is great. He's also an S-curver so you can get him to level 55 and leave him there if you don't wanna go for the last ascension and he'll still perform 95% as well.

Yeah, lesson learned. I've had a tendency to ignore my 1 and 2 star characters up until now.

Barely beat the Ghosts, only Waver was left by the end with less than 1k HP, would have probably died if I hadn't finished it off with NP-A-A because NP failed to stun. I overestimated Herc's damage (B-Crit A-Crit B chain) and paid for it. Probably wouldn't have been an issue if I'd just spent a command seal on NP for Herc and if the first B had managed to crit (was at 70%).

Had to revive my team with Command Seals on Edmond because Herc died as soon as he came out because I was lazy and didn't use his Guts, as I thought Edmond wouldn't target him down. Turned out to be wrong! Was really fun in the beginning though, cause I was stalling with Waver / Orion / Euryale for a longass time.

Meanwhile, on the JP side, I used 5 single tickets from the 12 million campaign on the Chaldea Boys gacha before remembering that a) I don't want Arthur and b) I don't care for the new CEs so I did a single pull on the Kiara gacha and dumped the last 4 in Story Gacha.

So I got Osakabehime.



Combined with the Ozzy I got on Tuesday, that's 2 SSRs from like 23 or so rolls. Which isn't bad.

I'm still sorely lacking on Knight SSRs, I only have Okita.

If only my NA account had half the luck of my JP account... I have like half the SSRs despite spending like 5x the money.
