You know, when only one Servant still has the generic animation, that means that it's unique, right? I nominate Marie for that unique Servant.

I don't know if Steno throws orbs but she should for being so useless

Stheno should get an animation update where literally the only difference is that her orbs now correspond to the same colour as the Card type.

Man, those new Mordred animations are ace. I can only hope Best Son spooks me sometime.

Also I think I'm the only person that actually likes the default caster animation, but on Martha specifically. I hope that doesn't go away entirely when/if they update her, it feels like a nice contrast to her punchier Swimsuit self.

So I decided to take my 10/10/10 Jalter to fight the final boss of the Fate/Zero singularity and see just how much damage I could get her to do. Brought with me Jalter herself with a level 50/80 Art of Death, Nightingale and a Support Waver. Forgot to take a screenshot, but that 800k HP dissolved instantly. About 400k off her NP and another 400k off her Buster Crit. (Waver NP started it off for the defense drop).

I love this madwoman.

Whoa I managed to finish Act 18 as a one week player. Had to continue with a triple command seal but I was already really close. No stamina refills needed either. Lancer is my MVP, if they ever release a 5* version he'll be my waifu.

Is it just me or is Waver an amazing character? I almost always picked him as the guest support because he easily outperforms guys like Lancer or Saber.

Waver is one of the meta defining servants in the support caster trinity.

Yeah, a support waver opens up a ton of options in basically any situation between his buffs/debuffs and NP charge.

Iri doesn't have generic animations

Even though her sword projectiles are cool I like her Quick animation the most. It's nice to get in close from time to time.

Speaking of Iri, I let the Fire one NP me. Turns out that version actually does heavy damage and not just Curse...

According to character martial when Martha's not punching something to death the way she "fights" is that she prays to God and God makes explosions happen. :black101:

From a currency perspective, no, feel free to convert whenever you want. I find that if I'm trying to save though, keeping them in fragment form is nice because I think I have less SQ than I actually have, so I want to be more conservative, and then you trade them in at some point and you're like "Oh hey, I actually had an extra 12 SQ" or whatever.

Do Shadow Servants have the same death rate as normal Servants? I was under the impression that they were basically identical to actual Servants except their NP bar is just counting down to an Extra attack instead of actual NP. The reason I'm asking is because my Hassan just procced death on the Shadow Alexander in the Emiya Residence, which I was under the impression was basically impossible to do on a Servant.

It's possible, just incredibly unlikely. I've done it before on shadow Jalter in France using Cu.

It's incredibly unlikely, and getting insta death on a shadow servant means that luck went towards not pulling a 5*.

Enemy servants have a 0.1% death rate by default. A 100% instant-kill NP has a 1-in-1000 chance of actually killing an enemy servant. That's more unlikely than getting a banner 5* on your first roll.

These raid events might be the first time I feel I get my money worth out of Jalter and her grails. Event Servants only get extra damage so I can stack buffs and crit stars without problems and it doesn't follow the irritating three wave formula. Just stack all the buffs for three rounds then melt the target once you draw enough buster cards and the NP gauge is full.

Uh oh. Do I use Ariadne thread or Goho-M?

So the second round of rank up quests starts at the turnover tomorrow. For anyone using Saber Gilles, Caster Gilles, or Alexander as your support for the current event, you should get their rank up quests done as soon as possible, since all three gain their third skill from this.


I glad that they are doing this now, since I thought that the quests that give them their third skills would happen after the Fate/Zero event ended, as a screw you to anyone who didn't have Altria or Iskandar.

Shadow servants have about a hundred times higher death rates than normal servants, yes. They're actually one of the easier boss types to proc it on.
