I just beat BP2 for the first time thanks to Clawtopsy, Marie is my hero forever and also all the support wavers on my friend's list refuse to put an event CE on so my damage had been super bad

This week's a pretty good week to bust out d'Eon, if you have them. Arts based setup and a 3-turn taunt with class advantage on the hands. Plus their NP is a decent debuff. I beat 3BP just now d'Eon/Waver/Caesar as my frontline. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3KX9GFCmQA

Also in the end it's not necessary in any way to 100% clear an event and this event should be the wake up call for such. There's a reason that this event requires the player to have cleared America, while Journey to the West (which should be next) only requires them to have completed Fuyuki. This is very much meant to be the hardest possible content thus far. For this round, I replaced Orion with Umu Bride in my arts team and it hasn't missed a beat so far. Otherwise I would probably build a team around Rama.

I tried swapping Jalter out for Best Girl and while I can indeed Dai Shouri all over banana my team really misses the ability to block Banana's atk buffs.

I'm the guy who's still making his way through story content and struggling to get full class coverage from free quartz Just saved up 30 today and excitedly did a Grand Summon, and the only new servant I received was Boudica. Two Boudicas, actually. And I don't need Riders, because I'm already running Martha.  drat, this game's gacha is harsh.I'm not even tempted to buy quartz over it either because doing a full GS would cost me $24 and I'm not at all confident the result would get me anything the slightest bit useful to me

Unironically getting my rear end kicked by Ibaraki in the 3BP fight and barely scraping by with a victory by the skin of my teeth is the most fun I've had in FGO so far.

Looked at the surprise Okita banner over on JP, tossed two tickets at it, got a 3* CE and a Medea that I didn't need out of it. Decided to toss a few bucks at the game to bring me up to 30 SQ and tossed in a 10-roll just to see what would happen. https://twitter.com/WT_Fits/status/999314665367834624 Sabers love me on my JP account for some reason.

Not gonna be able to use the entire day's worth of BP, and I wasted all my morning BP trying to beat the 3BP. I'll probably only get 8-10 million out of regular BP recharge and have to use riceballs for the rest. And then repeat it for the rest of the event, probably, now that each day is only one day and the damage benchmarks are rising.

I'm still unsure how to handle the 6M HP Ibaraki. I'm not going to try today, since I'm running the standard Orion/Tamamo/Waver frontline and the hands having advantage on Orion is probably too much, but even without that, Ibaraki will still deal like 4000 HP a hit, and my healing can't really keep up. I'm at the point where 1M HP is a cakewalk- if I fully buff Orion, Tri-Star at the end of the NP chain deals about 1.2 million- but I can't see charging up enough NP to consistently outheal the damage she puts out.

I'm at the point where 1M HP is a cakewalk- if I fully buff Orion, Tri-Star at the end of the NP chain deals about 1.2 million- but I can't see charging up enough NP to consistently outheal the damage she puts out. -Wave 1, hit Orion w/ +30% NP from Waver, try to build NP on everyone while minimalizing killing the mooks. RNG can screw you here but usually I can leave with everyone around ~70% charged -Ibaraki time. Immediately slap the def. boosting skills (besides Orion's) on and do your best to build NP some more on the hands. You should hopefully have everyone at 90% after this. -Nuking time. Put on all attack buffs (should get everyone to 100%), Fox Wedding on Orion, and fire off Waver-Orion-Tamamo NPs in that order. If you can't do all three NPs, then wait another turn until you can. The important part is to only throw the attack buffs on when you are ready so that their duration lines up with the first turn being the first turn you nuke. -This is an important point in my runs, because if I'm lucky I will be able to do an Arts chain with Orion. The +30% skill from Waver should now be back up, so if you feel that you can put that on Orion and get them back to 100% NP by the end of the turn, do so. Congrats the next turn you have just nuked Ibaraki a second time while all attack buffs (minus probably the mystic code) are up. -At this point I usually play defense and try to kill the hands, trying to get their HP low enough to kill without actually killing them. Then when the left hand (3 turn fellow) is ready to NP, I try to kill both at once because killing the right hand moves your next attack over to the left. If I plan accordingly I will only ever kill them when I want to, and thus can stun Ibaraki on said turn to prevent her from using 2 turns that round. -Once the hands are down it's just a matter of doing my best to reel off Tamamo NPs (IMO more important than Waver's at this stage) to keep people alive and get back to a situation where Orion is ready to NP with Fox Wedding ready. At some point Ibaraki will probably be ready to NP herself, which is when I bring in Mash to taunt it and give +20% to someone. The rest I play by ear, but usually by then Ibaraki is down about 75% with 3-5 turns left and it's usually not too difficult to get one last Orion NP in there. I'd say I have about a 80% success rate with defeating Ibaraki in this strategy. Nate RFB fucked around with this message at 18:17 on May 23, 2018 |

Put Tamamo's NP at the end of any NP chain. Half the point of it is to get like 25% bar with it after everyone has emptied their gauges to get that much closer to NPing again, and all you get from overcharging Orion's NP further is an overkill reduction in crit chance. That aside, it shouldn't be so bad. Tamamo should permanently be taking only 50% damage from Ibaraki (assuming you cycle her shapeshift and Waver's defense buffs so she's always benefitting from DEF Up and fire off Orion's NP periodically) and Orion has two different ways of making herself invulnerable to damage, plus Waver's NP should be stunning banana from time to time. Waver taking damage is your main failpoint, but you can work around it. If the banana is really choking you with overkill damage, consider using a taunter like George to come in and take three rounds worth of damage so everyone else can recover their CDs. The key is to use your plugsuit stun and control tools carefully to make sure she doesn't get to play, and to hit the 3m and 1.2m lines consistently so she wastes attacks applying a pointless debuff.

This is one of the most important points about Tamamo-centric strategies. Building up Tamamo NP is usually priority 1 or 2. Even in the ultimate Caster stalling team of Tamamo, Waver, Merlin she is the usually the most important person to NP charge.

I think the only situation it isn't The Most Important Thing in is if you have Archuria and are going in for the kill with NP spam, honestly. Tamamo is like, really crucial to arts teams. She's the engine that keeps em running.

I switched from Orion/Tamamo/Waver to Nero/Tamamo/Waver + plugsuit with Orion in the backline (though any AoE Saber should do). Nero kills the hands then let Orion take care of Ibaraki. My strategy before was keeping Orion and Tamamo alive (let Waver be the sacrificial lamb), kill the hand with the 3-turn NP charge as soon as possible (for me it's easier to juggle NP charges with just the other hand + Ibaraki), and the usual arts chaining and Fox Wedding shenanigans. I do use Atlas over Plugsuit however. The 2-turn cooldown is usually for when Waver's about to croak and I need his buffs before he dies (or when I need Tamamo's NP drain + Fox Wedding) and the invincibility skill for Tamamo for whenever Ibaraki actually fires her NP. My CEs are MLB Ushi on Orion, 2x MLB Carps (one from support), and an extra Carp.

I looked at the 3BP one and watched people during Acen bully the banana with the Localizer's team (Gil, Waver, Shakespeare, Mashu and some other person i forgot) and the fact that so many of them were able to successfully stall her out just kinda spooked me. I'd have a good stall team too if 5* casters actually liked me.  I'll just stick to breaking her 1Mil apart with Double Jalter and Okita.

Ey I got Okita in a single ticket, rad. Now my quartz is safe for Lostbelt Lancer/Summer. Meanwhile in NA the last gold servant I got was NP3 Hercules like 4 months ago, but I'll take E-Rank luck on NA in exchange for the frankly absurd luck I've had on JP lately. 3BP hasn't been super fun though.
