The Rhinegold in F/GO is just...a pile of cursed gold? By Seigfried's time it was supposed to have been forged into The One Ring, one ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all, and in the darkness...bind them. This is really disappointing. Everything about Siegfried sucks again.

What's a Sitonai though

Sitonai is an obscure Ainu myth (as in, obscure even for Ainu folklore in general) about (going off memory because I can't find the translator's post and there's literally no english source for it) a kamuiy (IIRC) that terrorized a small village, until one girl goes off with her dog companion to kill it (and succeeds).

That's why she's got Dragonslaying attributes (kamuiy are similed to both gods and dragons (Kanna from Maid Dragon is a Kamuiy, hence her surname)) and why she summoned Herk during LB2. It was her Illya part influencing Sitonai's animal companion ability..

We are expecting an overload of Golden Kamuiy jokes.

Do Redrop even have an actual servant or are they just tagged in for the year's horny Halloween CE (and oni events, I guess)?

Redrop has not designed a servant, but they are called in to do CEs randomly. Halloween is the most consistent event they've been on (Every CE they've done becomes a meme, even Halloween Princess was for a bit), but they've done CEs for Valentine's, Nerofest, Ibaraki, and Summer before, they also did the Reika CE that gives you extra healing.

Oh here it is. Man I got a lot of things wrong.

quote:

The only descriptions of Sitonai legend I managed to found are Japanese. Like http://ryujin.metasato.com/ryujin/092_otaru_temiya/ryujinDetail.html

Quite interesting legend - starting as typical story about village sacrificing maidens to monster (giant snake here) every year, but here instead of hero coming and saving everyone, Sitonai (youngest daughter of village headman) volunteered to be next sacrifice, went to snake's cave with her dog, set a trap for snake, killed it, and after that buried remains of previous sacrifices and lamented that girls before her were so weak that they was eaten by mere snake.

Sitonai is badass.

I can see why she got picked for FSN Illya.

It's also halfway the same legend as Yamato Orochi (Maidens get sacrificed to giant snake, hero saves the day with big sword), and Yamato Orochi is Shuten's father, so that's why Sitonai's being added in this event.

her bear is named shirou

She should have/get also a second one called Heracles.

Actually, she should get a strengthening where randomly in her NP we get EMIYA or Heracles as the bear.
And an interlude where she horribly mauls Chloe (the latter will bounce back and try even harder later on)

What I'm saying is that it's good she's far away because I'm already tempted to actually whale for her and I'm strictly F2P.

YAMI WO KIRISAKU
OH DESIRE


Something occurred to me watching Sitonai's NP. She uses both a bow and a big (at least relatively) sword. The two classes called out as Herc's actual best options are Archer and Saber. If it's indicative of the rest of her animations, we might have Ilya fighting kind of like a non-Berserker Herc presumably would (except with more bears) and I really like that.

Also until it's explicitly denied, I'm 100% going with the assumption that the Shirou in her NP is literally the poor guy's soul shoved into a polar bear.

She does have a history of shoving his soul into a teddy bear, this is just the same thing scaled up somewhat.

This can almost certainly be thrown on the pile of "who cares" in terms of understanding the technical aspects and meta of this dumb game, but because I like getting into the weeds, I've been spending a lot of time over the past few weeks looking through the appmedia skill recommendations and something stood out to me a bit.

Okita, Orion, Kuro, and Shiki all have Mind's Eye (False) which boosts crit strength along with an evade. Same CD, just has the crit boost vary. Orion and Shiki have recommendations for getting it into 9, while the rest claim they don't need to go to 6, and I'm not sure why. I figured that with Skadi especially Okita's crit boosts would be given additional scrutiny. And if Orion has it at 9 because of her Archer weight, then why not Kuro as well? What about Shiki's kit makes hers desirable to boost all the way?
