Spartacus only needs a lore if you don't have access to Waver/Helena/Ozy otherwise you can get away with level 6 on Unyielding Will, or without them level 9 with MLB Imaginary Element. Once he gets his NP buff, he can easily handle waves of 30-40k hp enemies with level 6 Return.

Interesting. My current farming set up is Fran w/ Kaleidoscope , Waver , Friend Lancelot /w Kaleidoscope, My Lancelot w/ Kaleidoscope in the back row. First turn, Waver powers up Fran and friend Lancelot and they each take a turn taking a wave down with their NP. For the final wave, I sub in my Lancelot. The final wave is where I'm tripping up a bit since usually two of the hands barely survive Lancelot's attack.

Try a friend Raikou with Kaleido and use her for the final wave instead of Lance. Or use your friend's Lancelot instead of your own for the final wave, if he has a higher NP level than yours. NP2 or higher Lance should always one-shot a wave of hands.

DEMAGLIO!
If you're plugsuiting, use the attack buff and see if that helps, if you haven't done that already and if there's only two hands barely surviving then set it up so waver and the other lancelot can finish them in that wave.

I like tama but that was probably the shittiest outcome for that roll :D

Is there anyway to make the instakill on MissLord Nito's NP actually hit consistently other than maxing out her skill 1(if that even helps)? I'm trying her out with hand farming but she's not really living up to her rep as a wave clearer atm

Yes, you want to max out skill 1 to get the most out of her NP.

Pairing her with an Edison can be a huge help since death rate increases with overcharge, too.

Nothing but maxing her out! It kinda matters a lot, she only really needs that one skill maxed so just eat the bone cost.

Got Tamamo in the paid banner. Must be the Tamamocat I picked as my free 4* that acted as the catalyst.

But now I understand. Wanting to pull on the Caster Banner for the next paid gatcha greatly terrifies me now, but Waver is still worth it, and now at least I've got the most crucial member of all arts meme teams. Didn't really understand how to use Tamamo until Rashomon. Cooldown Reduction, NP Gain, Heal, Arts Boost and NP Reduction so amazing for challenge fights.

Too bad we'll never ever get a ticket for a free 5*, even if just for the launch SSRs.

Also, now with 3 Kscopes, I can finally efficiently farm. Long gone are my salad days of using Herc's NPBB brave chain to only kill two hands out of three. Having lots of fun seeing what teams of 3* servants I can set up to farm XP and bond points (SQ). Blackbeard, Hohenheim, Hector and Fergus are surprising good for this, not to mention Kiyohime, Spartacus, Arash, and Saber Lily. Now I can save all the SR bonding for hard content.

And while I'm at it, PSA to set aside 264 Gold Assassin XP cards for the next welfare servant.

A tad late, but I'm fairly sure a BB NP chain from Heracles kills a full hand wave.
The first two B kill the first hand, target switch for the NP and second dead hand, target switch for the extra. Worst case scenario it's still two dead hands because the extra card off a brave chain hits about as hard as an AoE NP.

Fair warning I did some back of the envelope calculations and it's borderline with a lvl 80 Herc. Herakles' own attack buff at level 1 should be enough though. Stack another atk up and/or a buster up for safety.

I'd like a support that can re-shuffel cards with a skill. Maybe draw only the target servant's cards at lvl 10. Always irritated me that I have skills running 3 turns but only enough cards for one turn of buster brave chains unless I'm really lucky.

With a plugsuit, support waver, and enough scopes, 3-turning embers is not hard, but it feels like a waste to do it that way for me atm because I maxed the plug suit a little while back. So I'm trying to see if I can get it done with folks with their own NP charge like Mordred or Arash.

Today I learned that, because Earth or Sky Servants are extremely popular, and Gawain specifically has that trait, that Raikou still hits like an absolute monster against him. So I can still three turn knights with a support Raikou, but her skills have to be decently leveled, preferably maxed.

Is summer Scathach any good? I still have a stack of ALL xp cards from the last event, so I should be covered. It'd be nice to have another 4* Assassin that can deal damage with their NP. (Looking at you, NP2 Stheno :argh:)

So if I'm reading the JPN timeline, we start the summer event but a second part opens up when there is about a week left for us to scramble through those quests? Hopefully it isn't as rough as it sounds.

She is a non-bronze AoE Assassin which up until now was only occupied by Fuuma and Shuten (and the bronze is Phantom, soo...) which is potentially useful but she's apparently not very useful outside of nuking the enemy once thanks to long skill CDs and a general grabbag of only vaguely useful skills outside of her Quick buff.

That said I don't believe you actually need to level her during Summer 1 to get through the event.

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.

This was the fear if I had done cavalry, so NP2 mordred isnt the worst thing since at least I didnt get Medb.
