Necromancy CE is a cheaper alternative (as long as you don't completely depend on it since it's essentially a coin flip every time it triggers)

IIRC Necromancy will keep you from using a Guts if you already have one, since you're permenantly loaded up with the '50% chance of triggering' Guts. It's probably not the best use of a CE slot to put one on Cu Alter.

Sanzang got her wish from Camelot and was summoned in my Chaldea from paid gacha. :3:

I am perfectly happy, becouse Sanzang is fun and my best offensive Casters were traitor witch and dragon trash idol in Halloween cosplay.

people say she's not actually that squishy if you use her second skill but eh. her art sucks and I don't really use buster comps so her third skill kinda sucks for me. I guess she'll make a good friend for Jeanne Alter and Hans though.

I've only used her a few times but she's a lot of fun. I tragically had to stop putting too many resources into her because other zerkers took precedence wrt skill gems but if I ever get a chance to revisit her I definitely will.

As I understand, decent Caster AOE damage (with a NP charge skill) but otherwise not super notable. However she's also cute and obv a pretty important character in the main story.

You don't want the story banner though, you want the one that says FGO Summer Festival 2018 with a red "Limited Time" rather than blue "Story". Da Vinci is limited so she would not appear in the story gacha.

Well then I’m sorry for my statement; I didn’t intend my original comment to be any kind of meaningful insight, which is why it was one throwaway line added to a post that was mainly to clarify a gameplay point. When I got a big response especially after specifically, if sarcastically, saying not to, on the internet, I assumed someone had a bone to pick because that’s usually how the internet is.

FWIW I like Arjuna better for his arts setup because most support casters also run three arts cards, letting him secure arts chains across his team more easily and keep up their usually key support NPs while also moving towards more NP spam himself. He also sustains better and works better in a complimentary position, and I don’t tend to mind his lack of NP B B chains because post-Observer, the HP breakpoints often mean that the buster crits are often wasted on securing a tiny amount of damage or even totally unnecessary; though that’s across all buster meme servants, not just Gil.

I know she wouldn't be on there. I meant more like should I take a chance at the story banner even though it is a Really Bad Idea with a limited success to get anything I want. The answer is no, probably.

Raikou, Nightingale, Ozymandias, Vlad (twice), Sanzang (guaranteed), and now Jack. That's not even counting my NP2 Saberlot, my Ibaraki Douji, or Nitocris and now saddad!

I've been led to believe that they also got a SQ back for every pull they did once it went down to 3, though I'd like confirmation of that. Kinda makes or breaks my opinion on the matter, though I'm still gonna be a bit sour either way due to the aforementioned "did a 10-roll for Bedis expecting to get the quartz back" thing.

Though that's ultimately still my own fault since this isn't my first gacha game and I'm more than well acquainted with NA getting the shaft in regards to rewards in every game at this point.

I'm pretty certain there were no quartz given back on JP, otherwise all of the various NA vs. JP analysis's that were posted a while back would make no sense.

What JP did do is award players who bought Mona Lisa with extra prisms when it came back into the shop, because it was originally a lot more expensive to MLB it.
