Makes sense - Protection of the Faith as a skill is based on your own personal level of belief rather than any external factors. If you have a truly intense level of faith, that's more powerful than physically having the relevant religious factor literally standing in front of you and only having a normal or even relatively high degree of faith.

Protection of the Faith strikes me as more fanaticism than anything. So it makes sense that Martha, despite not being the prim and proper saint she pretends to be, doesn't reach that high of rank in that skill.

Just finished Camelot. Bedivere needs so many hugs.  I could swear there was supposed to be more about the whole Fake Richard the Lionheart/Knights of the Round backstory in game, but I guess not? I'm assuming Fake Richard is going to be a thing at some point, because Nasu, but I'm curious who he really is and how he'll be relevant. I hate to admit it but I snorted when Gawain snapped at the group about how the Knights would never lose to a bunch of grave robbers like the Crusaders. Uh dude, you were losing, that's why Gareth suicided in order to pin Fake Richard down long enough for you to kill him! Love how even though the world is going to end and Agravain knows it's going to end, he still takes time out to fleece the merchants' guild for some extra pocket cash. Agravain: I have no fear of death. Death is inevitable. Soldier: Oh poo poo, Serenity's using her NP! Agravain: *disappears like the Road Runner* I'm pretty sure Nasu said that Agravain is one of the few people who knew that Artoria was actually a woman, so nice to see the little pause before "man" during his little misogynist rant. And based off what he said, it sounds like he's also aware that the Fall of Britain is a Quantum Time Lock, and inevitable, but he was desperately trying to stop it anyway? Agravain, you are a broken, broken man, but you're kind of interesting. Nasu's Camelot/Zero summary and the knights' dialogue both make it sound like it was their decision to follow the Lion King that (oh no) doomed them to rejection by the Lance. But considering that Rhongomyniad would only select people that "do the right thing no matter what" to the point it was rejecting children, the Knights were never going to picked anyway. So I don't understand why that was even brought up. Plus at that point they were Heroic Spirits and not humans anyway, so they wouldn't have been chosen simply based on that. So what was the point? Gawain, don't you dare put the blame on Bedi for YOUR decision to become a murderous rear end in a top hat.  And then Bedivere saying he's right to despise him.  Speaking of Gawain: does he have an interlude, or, well, anything that addresses how his massive guilt complex over Artoria has a nasty habit of making him a threat to the entire known world? I'm serious. In Extra, he was Leo's Servant, and while Leo was a good kid, if he had won the Moon Cell Grail War, the world would have gone into stagnation. Which not only would have been extremely bad for humanity, it would have led to that iteration of the world becoming a pruned timeline. Gawain knew this, and also knew that Leo could never be the "true" king he was hoping to serve as atonement because Leo had never known defeat, and never really could, because in the Moon Cell defeat=death. But he kept on anyway. Then Camelot showed that he's ready to throw away all scruples, commit mass murder of innocents and destroy the world if King Arthur says so, even if the king is no longer "King Arthur" but an inhuman goddess-monster instead. I have to admit, I find Gawain's character pretty aggravating, because it does seem, from both Extra and Camelot, that he's half-aware that what he's doing is Wrong and will in fact make things much worse for both himself and literally everyone else on the planet. But then he keeps on doing the stupid over and over again and not learning from his mistakes. Come on, even Mordred realized that she needed to change, you have no excuse. Hundred Personas and Cursed Arm were so drat great.  I know Tristan's actually one of the least guilty of the knights (aside from being guilty of following the Lion King in the first place) due to literally being brain-washed but it was very satisfying to see Tristan think he won and then, whoops, not only did Cursed Arm survive, he gets to go live a normal life with his son because the Cursed Arm went to Tristan.OTOH, Serenity. I never liked Serenity in Prototype/Fragments but at least there she had a character and something approaching development. Then FGO throws all that out the window because FGO Serenity explicitly isn't Fragments Serenity, turns her into "Kiyohime but shy" and...that's it.

Liffrea posted:
quote:Garden of Avalon recounts the battle against Vortigern from Gawain's perspective. While Arthur was called a perfect and invincible king, the battle against Vortigern was one where defeat was very possible. Having cornered him in his citadel while fending off the foreigners, Artoria, Gawain, and her other elite troop made their way to the throne room where Vortigern was barricaded alone. Believing the battle to be won, they let their guard down and were overwhelmed by a single attack in their hesitation. It incinerated the troops, destroyed Gawain's morale, and took the light away from both Excalibur and Excalibur Galatine. Gawain could only watch as Artoria fought with Excalibur's faint light, never giving up even though she was fighting against Britain itself in the form of a dragon. The reasons he winds up taking the 'wrong' actions like that also get a fair amount of elaboration in CCC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAoBxmsPp-Q&t=466s Gilgamesh posted:Betrayal is when two people agree to walk the same path, then one stabs the other in the back. If the paths are different from the beginning - then inevitably one will devour the other... the "ideal" king people wish for is something that no human being is fit to be. I imagine that is why your king pitifully self-destructed from betrayal. Gawain posted:You're wrong. My king did not err. The failure was mine, and mine alone. As for his chance to be hero for a day, he does get that in the CCC event.

Nakar posted:The Demon God was supposed to be Sabnock, and there's data and a sprite in game for it. However it doesn't actually show up anywhere in Babylonia, because at no point does anyone who possesses the grail see any reason to turn into a pillar. It will reappear in the final singularity, as one of the raid bosses, but it's a different version of Sabnock there. He went to Dragalia during the last event there

Any advice on taking out Super Snek in Babylonia? I tend to look at numbers and then worry myself, despite having more than enough ways to deal with it. I mean, I'm pretty sure Jack could take off over 100k with an NP, And bond CE Herc could be clutch, but I still worry sometimes about what I should do to keep things under control.

It's not that hard, and the boss's attacks fill up your servants' NP bars really quickly (provided they survive the hit). I did Vlad/Herc/Friend Jack with Jalter and Chloe in the backline and did fine.

Do you have any Anti-Divine ST like Scathach or Ruler Martha? Just whoever your best ST DPS should be fine. Support 10/10/10 Waver to cycle NP as fast as possible. A healer would be nice, but doesn't really matter, any support would do. Medea Lily is ideal, her debuff removal is clutch. Without her, Iri will do too. Or even a secondary DPS I just bided my time until I had a NPBB chain before I fully buffed Martha to burst atk. Only needed to NP 2-3 times to win. But yeah, just finished Babylonia. Feeling like I finished watching a whole season of an anime.

For those sorts of big bosses that hit the whole party with big multi-hit attacks, you might try using NPs that buff your defense and debuff the enemy's attack. Those big attacks charge your NP really quick, so you can stack the buffs/debuffs and reduce the damage to zero while continuing to charge a bunch of NP. Mashu and Asterios might be good budget choices to try. Maybe fit in either a healer or a damage dealer in the third slot. Failing that, if you're really super stuck, there's always the option of waiting six months when we get a welfare servant with advantage against avengers

Liffrea posted:Just finished Camelot. The reason Gawain is the way he is is because the last time he chose doing what he felt was right over loyalty, it led to them losing Camlann and both he and Artoria being killed. Basically, he directly disobeys Artoria's order to let Lancelot go without punishment when he returns to France and goes to fight him(which is totally fair, Lancelot basically slaughtered his entire family on the way out the door)which results in the guy who can't be been beaten under the sunlight and the guy who can't be beaten period fighting until night, at which point Lancelot injures him and he leaves. Then, during Camlann, Lancelot comes to try and assist, but Gawain refuses his help and tells him to go home; again, it's hard to blame the guy for having a grudge against him for murdering his family, but Lancelot was strong enough that him beating Mordred and her entire army by himself wouldn't even be a little inconsistent with how he was generally written, so rejecting his help was a bad idea. Then, he's still too injured from the fight to beat Mordred himself, so they lose and his King dies. Basically, he just doesn't trust himself to make decisions because he feels too guilty to do so, so he'd rather just do literally anything whoever is in charge of him says, or things will probably end up worse.
