Well, Drake wasn't really who I was looking for, but she's still my first 5* Rider so she'll do. Getting two 5* CEs was something of a waste of luck, since I've already got an MLB'd Heaven's Feel, and the other was Ideal Holy King.

I've liked Ideal Holy King in Camelot. Extra HP is never a huge deal, but it's nice to have something you can toss on your backline servants to improve the survivability of all three of your plan A team. I sometimes find that by the time George comes out with a Merciless One, say, it's already too late to do any good.

^^^Oh, hi there, fellow dupe Ozy receiver.

The paid banner was pretty mediocre for me. Got just one 5* who of course happened to be my second Ozy. It's my first dupe 5* though so I guess it would happen sooner or later.

Did one roll on the banner and got nothing except Leisure Stroll, which I won't complain about.

hmm yes, a normal reaction

I mean, when people are posting multiple 5* Servants on their paid rolls, getting two 5* CEs, ones it's debatable I'll ever use at that (can't think of any reason to start MLBing a second Heaven's Feel, and Ideal Holy King is really niche), isn't really what I want to get lucky on.

As for Drake... she's okay but honestly she was probably only sitting ahead of a Waver or Tamamo copy in terms who I would have liked for the guaranteed slot. Still decent, still probably going to be used once I actually get another good set of EXP cards, but not really one of the options I was particularly excited about on the PAID banner.

...I'll admit I was actually thinking of Golden Millenium Tree's effect when I saw it, so it's a fair bit better than I was first thinking - though it's still niche. A passive extra 1000 HP for the entire party from the back row is definitely potentially useful, though given its 5* cost it is still fairly hard to fit in.

Rolled on the Knight banner because honestly I was far more excited to get any of the servants on that than on Cavalry, where I already had best boy Waver, Iskander, and Vlad for 5-stars, and Jack has never interested me. Got a gold lancer card and was mentally preparing myself to live with NP 2 Scathach, but it turned out to be Lartoria. Also pulled a few decent CEs that I'm happy about.

Now to begin the grind...

I don't know why you would have thought you'd get a limited servant that's not in the summon.

The only servants I have from this banner is Vlad and Waver and I would even have been fine just getting NP2 for one of them even or literally anyone else than Medb.

Can't believe I paid money for this ugh...

On one hand, I guess it was nice to be absolutely guaranteed something new with the paid gacha since I didn't have anything on the cavalry banner, but on the other hand I paid $40 for a Vlad, a Meph, a Medea, and two Caster Cu's. So basically just Vlad, and Vlad sure as poo poo isn't worth $40. I'd say I won't roll on this the next time it comes around but I'm sure I will and I'm sure I'll end up complaining about the exact same thing. :rolldice:

Medb's a weird-rear end case in that while I do not have her I am 100% happy with getting NP2 Sanzang over her. Between Santa, Kintoki, Anne & Mary, Ozy, and Martha I am just kinda good on Riders and can't see ever finding a use for her. The same could I guess technically be said for Drake but I think she offers enough utility that I'd have been fine with her. Medb, not so much.

Drake is probably the best farming Rider around, so even with the riders you already have she would be a good pickup, Medb does not really bring anything special to the table gameplay wise so she's a pretty terrible pickup if you already have a good ST rider, and you certainly do have plenty in that category.

NP2 Sanzang. :toot: Not the best case for me (which would've been Tamamo, or maybe Cuzilla or Nightingale) but far better than the worst case of and NP3 Waver. She's got a pretty rare niche for the foreseeable future, so extra assassin murdering is nice. Got the 4* CE too, so eh, not the best banner but good enough.

She actually hits surprisingly hard for a caster at NP2, plus she gets an NP upgrade eventually so her NP damage will go from 800% at NP2 to 1000%, which is insanely high for an ST buster NP. All of that is further emphasized by the fact that she can NP spam like crazy with her insane NP gain, 3 arts cards and instant NP gain skill.

Got my NP4 Waver from the guaranteed gacha. Suffice to say, I'm not pleased with that outcome, with him being the only servant in the entire banner I didn't want to see...

Da Vinci came home though, and that helps dilute the salt. :shobon:

Apparently you can still do interludes even if you got rid of the servant.

I guess I will have to wait to get him back until the summer event, were I will spend all of my Friend Points in a failed attempt to get 5 copies of the 3 star CE.

Invincible is very rare on CEs (hence part of yhe reason everyone goes gaga for VH) . There's a White Day CE that grants it for 1 turn, and some Bond CEs like George's, IIRC.
