You monster, don't touch that chocolate Kiyohime!

Using the chocolate to level a CE and considering that "eating" it is a valid interpretation IMO. I've held on to my chocolate CEs so far but I can see why people would do that.

Get rid of the Valentine's chocolate?! But I was gonna use it as a catalyst for summoning summer Marie, Nobu, Nero, and Kiyohime. (unless you can get another copy on a rerun, than I guess I'll consume them)

You should consider rerolling because you probably didn't get someone good.

Don't do this. The rarest characters you'll get from the initial roll are a specific set of 4* servants and it generally isn't worth the hassle of rerolling just because you want Hercules instead of the Chevalier d'Eon. Rerolling's only worth it when you get a bunch of free quartz, just because you can make an actual roll pretty quickly before restarting.

(The anniversary might give out enough stuff to make rerolls an efficient use of someone's time, but I'd still stick with the account you have now if you've put any time into it.)

Wait don't give you enough quartz to do a proper roll? I guess that was launch only. That loving sucks for newcomers.

In that case don't reroll.

You may get enough quartz from the anniversary in the next few days to reroll. Rerolling isn’t really necessary though unless there is a servant you are trying to get (or trying to get a specific 4 star from the tutorial 10 roll).

I started during the Zero event and got Herc who has carried me to this day. I don't think I would've had as easy a time with any of the other draws (haven't yet gotten a 5* from the gacha).

That can change tonight!

So who's everyone hoping for in the guaranteed banner?

Love it: Tam, Drake, Cu, Jack
Alright: Xuanzang, Nightingale, Medb
Eh: NP2 Ozzy, Vlad
Throwing my phone out of the loving window: NP2 Waver

I was double cursed by vlad not even a month ago I fear i'd get him again even though I want drake or waver. Also gently caress medb.

Well, I spent all the orbs I could scrounge up to try to get Waver in the Zero event to no avail (not that I had very many since I had only just started). Maybe it's worth dropping money to try for him again for the guaranteed but I suspect it'll end in tears with my luck.

Calvarly looks a lot better for me. I wound't even mind getting a second Cuzilla or Ozymandias.

The 'wants' for me from the guaranteed are probably Cu, Medb, Larturia, Ozy, or NP2 Jack.

The 'busts' for me would be Xuanzang, Nightingale, Jeanne, Orion, or Tesla.

And the 'idgaf, I'm burning an np1 of them' would be Drake or Tamamo.

All I want is a new servant, so I'm sure I'll get NP3 Orion.

I really kinda wanna take a shot on Knights for Tesla or Artoria Lancer but there are way too many mines to dodge (NP3 Jeanne, NP4 Seibah, NP2 Arjuna) so I think I'll go on the safer route of Cavalry where if I get a repeat Servant it's at least more likely one who I'll appreciate the extra buff on.

Retcon
Jun 23, 2010

Medb, Cu, Drake, Tamamo and Nightingale are the servants I'm hoping for

NP2 Ozzy/Xuanzang would also be cool, I'm going to use these a lot

NP3 Jack or NP2 Vlad would be slightly less cool

NP2 Waver is apparently more useful than I thought but this would be the most boring result

Always roll on the waifu banner.

Cuzilla, Nightingale, Waver or Jack would be nice but I own everyone else from that banner except Thotqueen and Vlad.

I want Altera, Mordred, or Lancertoria which means I will get Tesla. :negative:

Well, I only have two of the knights, and I have all but one of the calvary. But, I'd actually be upset if I got a certain two of those missing knights, and only kinda happy about getting any of the rest, whereas I'd be really happy if I got the one missing calvary and fine w/ all but two of the dupes. So, probably will be calvary for me.

I would like Jack (or Drake) from Cavalry. Jack would be especially nice. I would love a good Assassin at this point.

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

Since I have 3 5 star units in the Knight banner, and two on the cavalry banner, I am pulling on cavalry to have a better chance of getting a new servant. My list is:

Want: Jack, Xuanzang, Waver, Berserker Cu
Okay with: Drake, Tamamo
Don't want: Medb, Nightingale
drat you 20% chance of a repeat :argh: : Ozy, Vlad

I have a better chance of getting a new servant in the knights pool plus I want Lancer Artoria. The servants I don't have in the Cav pool are overall better but I don't want to risk getting yet another Waver since he's already NP5.

Thought this was a fun bit of irony/coincidence/what have you.
So, remember the other day when I was asking why Emiya qualified as an Archer servant?

The group doing the UBW Abridged series put this clip out as a preview for the upcoming episode.
