PEPSI FOR TV-GAME

She has no resists but she has three different defense buffs; for redirecting a turn of fire, she is much more durable than any tank, including D'eon. I usually run her with Room Guarder since she also loves stars and that often ends up with her taking literally zero damage. Keep in mind defense scales to zeroing damage at 100%, not halving it, I'm pretty sure.

Passionlip is a monster. But in a good way! (mostly)

I’ll admit I never put a lot of effort into making her the focus of a team but idk, she just never stood out as a tank. Like sure she never took extra damage but like, I never used George against assassins either.

Her skills are only at 6 and maybe that means a lot for her? She just never stood out until post strengthening.

Yeah attack and defense buffs in this game are very simple.

A 10% Attack buff adds 10% damage an attack and a 10% defense buff takes away 10% damage from an attack.

So if you stack up 100% DEF you will take literally 0 damage.

This is pretty hard to do, it's arguably easier to do with a combination of Attack debuffs on the enemy though.

I dunno, I've been doing a pretty good job of it in Camelot by combining Mash's Defense buff skill and NP with Waver's Defense buff skill. But that's more down to having Mash's skill at 10 and having a friends list full of 10/10/10 Wavers. :getin:

Mash and Waver also have Damage Cut on their DEF buffs, which is a flat reduction of damage. Mash's is crazy strong with 1000 for one attack while Waver's is 500 over the three turns.

60% DEF total means that what little damage is done is often nulled out by the Damage Cut, especially for Mash's one time 1000 one.

Like most characters in this game, you get what you put in. It sounds like you got her, didn’t expect much, and didn’t do much; and that isn’t to blame you, because it’s really hard to go over literally every character with a fine tooth comb and figure out their ~optimal strats~. I played and loved CCC so I was super hype to have Good Girl Lip on a team, so I made it work and was extremely satisfied with the results, that’s all.

Honestly most characters in this game are way more credible than people give credit for because there’s so many ways to go about things that it’s easy to get stuck in a mindset, like “I must always have two supports” or “everyone on a team must do a specific thing, tank dps support, and that’s all” and such. Almost all of the characters are good if you just look at them the right way, and I don’t just mean for fan purposes.

Yeah I agree with you. I think this thread is a pretty uniquely good place for that, partially because the tone was set by Endorph and Baal, to showing all Servants are really good honestly. If you like a servant enough to make a team to support them it will do everything in the game no problem, it’s a huge part of why I love FGO.

Basically this game is good and this thread is good.

Actually Mash's damage cut is 2000, it's pretty nuts.

This is part of the reason why Tamamo and Waver are Bros for Life. You can stack Tamamo's DEF up with Waver's DEF up to make Tamamo virtually invincible.

Got Jack from the guaranteed pull. I mean, it's nice to have the best assassin period but I was hoping for maybe np2 ozzy or drake :frog:

Also got caster Giles so I guess I'll put him on the mantle next to Angry Mango

The Camelot 2 banner where she's the rate up SSR is coming up soon-ish, and after that there's the class based guaranteed SSR banner (probably in November-ish) where it's her, Karna and Enkidu.

That's why they come with a second layer of blind boxiness. You only get one of the servants three skill cards, at random, per box. Not an issue of you just want the toy, though
