Thanks :) I felt a bit guilty for dipping into the quartz I‘ve been saving up for Summer but it‘s pretty hard to feel bad after that roll.

I've managed to proc d'eons charm multiple times on ibaraki, so anything is possible when you're doing enough runs.

I don't think I can put together a team that can do 3bp. Most of my team is dead past turn 6, and Cu isn't good enough to survive for 10 turns.

I think it's pretty badass and not bullshit at all that reviving through Guts doesn't do away with status effects. At the very least, the skill seal and stun didn't go anywhere on my Cu after he came back up. I had one turn left, and no way to pop protection from arrows.



Thanks for teaching me this, game. I'm definitely not salty. Not a bit. Even a tad.



:qq:

Is your character actually reviving, though? Even though the HP drops to 0 for a moment and recovers after guts, I thought guts meant surviving an attack that would have killed you otherwise, meaning the status effects would remain since the character didn't actually die.

Anyway, I'm having a much better time with the 3bp today, partly because Orion class-advantage and partly because a few of the tips on how to best use the arts setup w/ Tamamo helped make the runs more consistent. Those hands are getting a bit too much hp for comfort, though.

This event is also showing me I need to at least level/skill up George and D'eon for when I need some viable taunters. Most of my exp and mats have been going to rarer cards, and I'm not that hardcore of a farmer to never run out of mats.

Banana is down again.

Tonight/tomorrow is probably going to be the hardest clear (Rider hands, 3 Trillion in 24 hours), so if you are able to survive 3BP for it and are in no need of gourds I might suggest using your riceballs during that period to help NA get across the finish line. Only if you feel it won't impact your gourd/shop clearing, of course.

After a fair bit of tweeking, I can consistently survive BP3. Only getting about half the banana's health, but I'll take what I can get.

Definitely gonna be the first time I fail to clear a shop. It stings, but realistically all I'll really miss out on are some mats.

Her profile says she is looking for a "bridegroom of Frankenstein", and her master would be it if they form a strong enough bond.

I have yet to get a single bond CE on NA. But I only have 30 000 points left for Asterios.

I also don't have a bond CE yet, but Salter will get hers in less than 10k bond points. After that Gilgamesh is probably the next servant to get maxed out since he is halfway to Lv. 9, but I'm also trying to get Nero Bride to max since her bond CE seems really useful.

So wait with paid Gacha the limited servants aren't in it which was obviously the case before but I thought they started adding them into the lineups for guaranteeds? Maybe I'm misremembering.

Can you do both or just one of them? I'm hurting in Knights (I only have Mo, Void, Okita, and Scath) and Cavs are bad too (Jack and Iskandar), so I really need a 5* Caster. This event has been hell simply because doing the 1 mil just got really boring. 6 mil isn't feasible since i don't have a viable stall team at all.

You can only do Knights or Cavalry, not both. Also, your Knights seem fine to me? Like, Okita and Scathach are arguably the best in their class on NA at the moment, and Archers have plenty of low rarity wonders like Robin, David, Euryale, etc.

They eventually include most if not all 5* Limiteds in some guaranteed gachas, but they're all the really huge pools rather than anything you can narrow out dupe chances.

Yeah, Jalter gives you a better chance, but that's about it. Frankly I think I'd be better off if I had a more reliable stall team. I just didn't prepare my 3 stars as well as I should have!

I was doing fine until the saber fights, where her damage stopped being enough to kill Ibaraki, and her low durability hurts her. I had to have Orion take her place, dropping my average damage from almost 6 mil per 3bp to 4.5 mil per 3bp.

Jalters big thing is crits; if she can't do that she's still strong but not super special for the purposes of this event, and she doesn't have any days where she's more durable.

I haven't been using my Jalter, I've found Gil to be more useful since he has an AoE NP to take out the hands that still hits the boss pretty hard and he can generate his own crit stars.

I think I might have to finally tap out of the 3BP and spend the rest of the event grinding gourds. These Rider hands have too much HP for me to deal with before they deal too much significant damage to either Waver. And the NP gain down from Ibaraki actually makes it tough to NP her to death like I've been doing with Jalter and chaining Waver NPs.

I'm at a little over 200mil DP, so hopefully I can reach the 300mil threshold from grinding out the 2BP quest.

EDIT: Well, I might do some 3BPs once the zerker days come along to see if I can farm it, but for now, nah.

Kind of lovely that you can completely miss a story event if you dont catch it before the time limit. Moreso that they refresh at a different time than the day changeover. Really throws me off and kinda sours the rest of this event for me. :mad:
