Ozy (SSR Rider), Lancelot (SR Saber), Nitocris (SR Caster), Touta (3* Archer), Hassan of Serenity (3* Assassin)

All three golds are amazing, with Ozy and Lancelot having a decent claim to being the best in their overall class.

So I rolled my 60 quarts and 6 tickets, hoping for a Saber.

Good news, I now have every summon aside from Lancelot from this banner, including Medjed Waifu.

Okay news, I also have an NP4 Caesar and NP3 Fergus.

Not complaining.

I want to do a 10 roll on the banner but I feel like I should complete France first if only to get new people into the Servant list. I sorta feel like I blew too many 10 rolls in Fuyuki (Started playing at launch, but only played sporadically till now). That or the Gatcha hates me.

The Gacha hates you until it decides to give you a 5 star and 4 star in the same pull. Still, I don't think the Servants locked behind the completion wall is that bad. Although it does mean you're missing out on a chance for Nero. Umu.

Put in 5 tickets, got the 4 star CE, my first Koutaro, and somehow my third Fran. How have i managed to pull 3 off banner Frans? I never use her, since I have mush better berserkers.

Went ahead with my roll. Got dupes of Babbage, Saber Giles, Caster Medea, and Ushiwakamaru. More NP on the latter 2 is not the worst thing I guess. Otherwise, :suicide:

I did get a 5 star CE, but it was The Black Grail. Is that more useful that it looks? A 500 HP Drain Demerit sounds pretty nasty considering there are very few healing options.

Endorph

Black Grail is extremely useful. 500 HP a turn isnt that bad since max level 4*s 5*s have HP in the tens of thousands, even if a fight lasts 10 turns that's only 5000 damage, total, over the entire fight. As a sidenote it's outright busted when put on Anne and Mary, since it might as well read 'give your NP more damage, then give it more damage.'

Black grail is fine, though it's mostly used on servants that have an inherent ability to fire off a lot of NPs. Medea would be a good example since she has an NP charge skill and an Arts NP which has an additional refund on use.

So, this game has been crashing on me very frequently the past several events (like, an average of once every other battle, which makes farming enough of a hassle that I haven't bothered clearing the last few shops), but I've still been able to play the game despite this. Now, however, I update it through the app store and then it tells me it didn't start correctly and asks if I want to clear and reload cache (never did this before). I say yes, and it keeps crashing at 70% completion. Tried restarting my phone, am on wi-fi, and this time it got to 100% but still crashed right after. I finally just told it to skip the cache and it started ok, but we'll see how long it goes before crashing again. I know the iPhone 5S is old (and I do plan on finally upgrading later this year), but it meets the minimum system requirements and the minimum I expect is the game not crashing constantly. I'm just ranting a bit, but it really makes playing feel like a hassle more and more often.

All that aside, did the first battles and yeah it's quite the step up in difficulty. Summons-wise, nothing from tickets as usual, but two 10-pulls got me Nitocris (all I really wanted from this banner), Ozy, the new archer guy, a Black Grail and a Kaledioscope, so I'll take this as the game apologizing for all the time it wasted crashing earlier today.

As I understand it most crashes in FGO are due to low RAM. I had a Lenovo A2 table with 2GB that crashed pretty consistently once a day, and have had zero crashes (that I can remember) when I upgraded to a Samsung S8 with 4GB.

I'm running an iPhone 5C, and while there have been rare crashes, the crashes are as common as they were before the update, so nothing noticeable. You should be fine now that the update is fully loaded.

Touta is merely 'ok', and by that I mean he has a buster up 30% for 3 turns that heals him, a nerfed PfA and a max HP teamwide buff.

...Actually, I'm honestly not sure why he IS merely OK with that loving toolkit. That's a hella solid set of moves to have, being a combo of utility, solid selfbuffing and fuckin PfA. Dude is respectable as hell. Maybe it's because his attack is lowish?


Archers are a really good class in general.

Nito's not amazing, but not terrible.

IIRC it excludes stuff you can't level/skill up/ascend/etc from the normal sorting and just shoves'em to the bottom of the list.

It's best use is in upgrading NP and CEs because it'll sort those to the top of the list.

Basically there's a general gacha pool and there's a story gacha pool. Certain servants that get added to the gacha from singularities are locked behind being story servants, meaning when they aren't on rate up you can only pull them from the story gacha but most are added to the general pool.

Story locked servants so far are: Salter, Cu Caster, Caster Gilles, Nero, Medea Lily, Tesla, Artoria Lancer Alter, Cu Alter, Medb, Li Shuwen and Edison, plus the knights of the round table in Camelot.

The story gacha never has specific servants on rate-up so you should never really pull on it, but rather wait for the story locked servants you want to be on the limited banner in a rate-up.

If you click on "summon info" you can see the odds of summoning a particular character. The odds of summoning Nero on the story banner is .1%.

As everyone else said, don't roll on the story banner.
