She really wants to give you a hug.

Decided to throw 60 quartz into America rate-up, because despite her art, Nightingale is cool and good and cute.

First 10 roll, silver Berserker card turn into gold and I get......Frankenstein.

Second 10 roll, there are suddenly rainbow circles and explosions everywhere and I get...... Karna????

The joke is on gacha though, because both Frankenstein and Karna are cool and good and cute too.

Because he gives 25 stars and a 25% Buster buff without diluting the Buster card pool, I think.

This and he also tanks for Rama as a cherry on top, which is nice since Rama's defensive tools are really pretty bad, all told. But it's mostly the buster buff, really. By contrast, Leonidas' low rarity quick counterpart is Alexander, who is...Alexander, and overall much less useful.

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

Did a free 10-roll, and got a stream of utter garbage 3-star CEs and Servants I already have until I received an Ideal Holy King at the very end. Then I used a few tickets and got a Billy the Kid and Geronimo so I'll live with that for the time being.

Scraped enough SQ from free missions for one last 10 roll and got Helena. Feels great to actually get a gold servant after a never ending stream of CE's and Geronimo's. Managed to MLB Heaven's Feel after so long and I need one more Prisma Cosmos for that delicious 10% NP a turn.

e: I'm really glad that they didn't do any sort of (Late America Spoilers?) "Ugh he's too powerful and we can't beat him!" sort of cutscene with the first fight with Cu Alter. I know it's a staple of the genre, I just find it super jarring when it happens, especially after Marie finishes the fight on full HP.

The bad: Nightingale didn't show up (or any other gold servant, for that matter) and I'm at 0 quartz and tickets. The good: Nightingale is amazing, I haven't laughed this hard at FGO ever. Mash's new animations are also pretty neat, I wasn't expecting that.

Story banner's aren't that big a deal. There will probably be a half AP story banner before Camelot comes out anyway.

I started out playing NA FGO with the goal of getting 3 servants I don't have on JP, so I hoard a lot of quartz. I think as a consequence of hoarding, I've lost the ability to save up quartz on JP and just burn them the moment I hit 30 quartz. Some goons are either buying them or save up like me. There are a good number of people that buy quartz in the thread.

For me, I've only ever rolled on three banners. Nerofest (an absolute monster disaster, but I got Altera eventually even if it did hurt the wallet), Scath banner (wanted to get two 2030s, ended up getting them and NP2 Scath as a bonus, all with saved quartz), and CBC (went for Astolfo, got him after two 10 rolls and all 35 of my tickets).

Basically everything else I've ever gotten has been from a meme ticket or yolo single roll, which I usually do at the start of a banner that interests me. It helps knowing roughly when the events and banners are going to be, and planning ahead so you have enough ready for when that time comes.

Just not rolling, yeah; if you only roll on one banner every few months then you have a few hundred quartz for that banner.

For all the good that does you.

Do it. Bronzes are great. I have like 9 unique SSRs and plenty of SRs and I just finished getting Leonidas up to level 65 before leveling Nightingale, Nursery Rhyme, Beowulf or Deon.

Nightingale is 64 though now I'm not ignoring her and holy crap I need so many embers.

Yeah. You can't expect to have a lot of free quartz around if you roll on everything. If you're not planning to spend a lot of money, you pretty much have to skip banners you're not particularly interested in and hold out for the stuff you really want.

Karna is definitely cool and good and very worth your time and attention.

And Fran is a good girl who is very conscientious about saving electricity and obliterating waves of enemies.

I've got a good pile of quartz, but that's mostly lucky hits combined with considering the rates so bad that it's not really worth going hard on a banner unless you really want it. That and it being fairly easy to justify passing banners to this point with welfares and reruns and such in mind.

With the gacha rates as they are you're definitely not going to get what you want if you blow all your quartz constantly. It's not vital to roll on this banner.

I have 337 quartz and the last time I did a full roll might have been Christmas.

I think the worst part is getting a full team of Purely Blooms / Stars of Artoria. Of course it's not a problem if you got all of them the first time around, but it just takes so long to make the grinding less painful. Even then it never gets any easier, but at least I'll have fun blasting folks with Mordred.

Wait, so Mash got new animations? Is that what happened when I loaded up the America Singularity the first time?
I looked away for a second, and the next thing I know, I see a little tooltip saying that her combat had changed due to a newfound determination or something like that.

I haven't noticed any new animations on her part though?

She is fighting differently, you can tell on the Buster attack where she now powerbombs the enemy shield-first rather than using the generic attack animation. They gave her new lines, too.
