The joke is someone who raised their fan favorites from the other stuff and neglected their roster is poo poo out of luck. Which I have not, electing to raise at least 3 of every class in the game for just this kind of restriction, but still, getting to the select screen and seeing the majority of my go to's blanked out was a reality check. Yes, that even includes Artoria, I use her a lot because of the NP3 spooks.

Nightingale has been really useful throughout this event and I'm glad I rushed her leveling with the rateup on special successes and the Nerofest XP. I'm still dead on seeds, though.

It's also a sign that I probably rely on Waver too much, tbh. The final FGO Only node took the longest by far of any of them, 12 turns instead of 3-4.

I pretty much only use him if I'm stuck on a node as a last resort.

The finale of the challenge quests with Cu, Emiya, and Artoria vs. Newcomers was something I barely clutched through by spending a command seal to let Beowulf do back-to-back NPs so that I could delete Artoria and then hit Cu through his Protection from Arrows. It's tricky.

Elidrum is right there, trying to get your attention. No one's fault but your own if you didn't feed the 100 embers from this event to her.:v:

It looks like you rerolled mid-year, so I guess you don't actually have Lily too?

My problem with that node was Emiya spamming evade and critting everyone to death.

Oh that was sarcasm and re-reading their post I missed the point.

JAlter is never leaving my team unless there are missions that restrict using her. She's in my top 2 characters in FGO

If you’re grinding the pyramid node, it’s totally worth it to level Hero Eli. She absolutely mulches the knights with her 100% damage bonus and class advantage.

'cause this thread is for both JP and NA and we were hoping to keep some of the trolls hidden from NA so they'd have their full impact two years down the line?

I didn't think I'd want Cleo, but that changed. And sadly I'd have to buy Quartz to even attempt the great lie known as rate-up, so it's not meant to be.

One look at the anime threads for Jojo's should kill any notion of that ever fully working out. That this thread manages to not be full of main singularity spoilers is a legitimate miracle.

I like to use Jack for the Sphinx. The Sphinx in the Pyramid node counts as female, and Jack turbo fucks it with her NP.

JP players have been pretty good about not spoiling things here since part 2 started imo, and it would be nice for things to stay that way with events as well.

"*character* shows up in *holiday event*" is not even on the same planet as actually spoiling Lostbelt 2.

Indeed, that specific version of the Sphinx enemy has the Female tag, so any and all Anti-Female Noble Phantasms will work against it.

Regular sphinxes are also Male for whenever that's relevant (Medb I guess). They're one of the few large monster types with a gender.

It would still be nice not to spoil it after DW has spent months saying otherwise about that character. Preserve the experience, y'know?

Also, please join the discord, you can talk all the spoilers you want in the jp-discussion channel.

my posts are as bad the Current Releases review of Gone Girl

So is there gonna be later opportunities to pick up copies of Liz Brave or is she done after this Halloween? Would like to NP5 her due to a lack of decent sabers, but since I'm less than two weeks into a fresh reroll I simply don't have the roster needed to clear some of these nodes without getting real stupid.

All DW said was that no more Halloween events would be entirely about Liz. Knowing that she still shows up in events is not some ~experience destroying~ knowledge.

Where was this when we talked about summer, Gudaguda, Valentine's, Christmas, or every single other JP event, let alone when the Part 1.5 and Lostbelt promo videos get posted in here?

It's not some principled stand, it's just a consensus that the jp-discussion channel in discord arrived at for this particular event. I realize we can't expect thread-only goons to follow that.

Credit where it's due: People have been good about not spoiling the big Summer 2018 twists in this thread, and aside from a few boss screenshots the EoR and Lostbelt spoilers have all been well-marked. Those are all things that could have gone a lot worse.
