...goddamnit it never occured to me that it might have been "leyshift" but that makes so much more sense than rayshift.

Never quacked for this
The various specifics are elaborated upon later on but basically meeting a Servant is An Important Thing and it's what enables Guda to summon some of the more niche versions. It also helps them keep continuity than usual. Also singularities don't do the normal memory wipe thing because that wipe is primarily to prevent paradox but singularities are inherently paradoxical. Also memories are important and sometimes they're big enough to mark the Servant and have that memory stick with them from there onwards (which is basically an excuse to let characters from Extra/Apo/etc keep character development), unless they feel like not doing that.

And yeah it's implied Servants hang around in Chaldea, although most don't actually follow you. In fact, up to Camelot, Guda and Mashu leyshift alone. (Combat servants are temp summons)

Mordred is a good example because the Mordred in London strongly implies she's post-Apocrypha (hence why she's more chill and sweet on Fran) while the Mordred in Camelot definitely isn't.

It's ambiguous to be fair, and I think Nasu was intentionally punning on both considering that a part of the process is turning you into photons. I use leyshift since that's what most people have settled on, but there's an argument for rayshift being legitimate.

It depends on whether you want to think of the singularity hope as a scientific or magical process imo

Leyshift sounds more mystical, Rayshift is more sci-fi. Both make a bunch of sense given the lore behind them.

I decided to throw a 10 roll at the event gatcha. Got Emiya (Assassin) and Geronimo, even though I haven't completed America yet. Wish I got something else though, as I'm pretty set on assassins with Ryougi, Carmilla, and all the friend gatcha assassins.

Getting all these Fous from the FP gacha is nice, maxed out Bride Nero, Bryn and Jack. I wish Bryn's skills didn't require so many seeds and feathers though, it's probably going to take me a few more months to get her to 10/10/10.

Geronimo's not story-locked.

Current list of story-locked Servants in Global is:
Fuyuki - Cu Chulainn (Caster), Artoria Pendragon (Alter)
Orleans - Gilles de Rais (Caster)
Septem - Nero Claudius
Okeanos - Medea (Lily)
London - Nikola Tesla, Artoria Pendragon (Lancer Alter)
America - Cu Chulainn (Alter), Queen Medb, Li Shuwen (Lancer), Thomas Edison

I apparently have enough CE bombs at this stage to take any MLBed 5 star CE to 100; I've already earmarked this set for Golden Sumo, but what might be the another CE to work towards? Besides, uh, I guess another Golden Sumo from the Onigashima re-run.

does that mean i'll never get those servants unless I roll on the story gacha?

yes, or unless you roll them when they show up on limited banners

for example, nero and salter in saber wars, or nero during every nerofest

Sometimes they'll show up on event banners, but those banners will explicitly mention that they're on there (like Caster Gilles was for the Gilgamesh/Artoria banner that they ran a week before the Zero event started).

They'll also start being included in class-specific gachas and gender-specific gachas at some point.

So in summary, a servant dying in a singularity isn't completely meaningless because 'that person' is dead even if they can continue to be marketable for future installments, truly making Fate the superhero comics of anime. :v:

A lot of people are probably following the guide, so there's pretty few people really investing in the CEs until there's a better margin to spend coins without messing up and having to rerun areas to get more coins.

Unless of course they already appled through the event in which case they're already in the process of posting every screencapped moment :shepface:

So I currently am sitting with np2 Iskandar on my main account but he's also on my secondary account. I dolphined but I plan to roll one more time before the banner's gone.
My roomie, on the other hand, had something like 40 tickets and 700+ quartz saved up. She's at least gotten 8 Kiritsugus! ... but no Iskandar.
Whoops.
