People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.
Yea, it's the real Quetz. She's just taking the appearance of a human woman.

The Quetz in Babylon is real, divinity and all. And anyone we meet anywhere can be recorded by the chaldea systems to be summoned later.

In that case, where is my Tiamat Servant DW? :argh:

Scathach Summer (Trash Cleanup)

Honorable Mentions
Hercules (Last Resort)
Tamamo (Final Battle Support)
Mata Hari (Low-cost Def Debuff Support)
Altera (Wave Clearer)
Medb (Undying Thot)

I would say that Kuro, Nero Bride, and Scathassin carried me through over 3/4 of Babylon while Jalter and Scathach would come in for boss fights. Only had to burn one single command seal to pump up an NP the entire singularity.

Good singularity.

They changed Tamamo Cat’s NP timing too. She doesn’t say GOOD MORNING at the end if you have the game set to 2x speed.

Literally unplayable.

I'm happy that Fields of Reed is pretty consistent about dropping stingers, because every Servant who needs them needs like 500 of them.

So what's the explanation for being able to summon Quetzalcoatl? Did we summon not the real Quetz, but a luchadore impersonating Quetz?

IIRC the canon explanation is that Mesoamerican gods "transferred" from one human to another like bacteria or microorganisms, and what we summoned was a woman who Quetzalcoatl had been at one point. I guess because they were attaching themselves to specific humans it's enough of an excuse to get around the old "no summoning actual gods as servants" rule that we break at least once a week.

The reason for this weird setup is supposedly that the gods of the region are special in that they were influenced by a foreign astronomical object. It's a little unclear whether this is referring to the asteroid that hit the Yucatan peninsula, or if it's a veiled reference to ORT.

As for why she's into Lucha, at some point she was summoned somewhere and happened to see a match, and she liked it so much it got reflected on her main body on the throne of Gods. That's it, she just happens to be a pro wrestling fan.

Nero's NP sounds different too. I couldn't place it. Her lines are different from what I have in my head and I couldn't place it. I wonder if it'd be fixed if I went back to normal speed.

Sorry, I thought it was okay since it doesn't show anything of the actual game and simply uses a voice line in japanese with no subtitles.

Nero used to interrupt herself, but it was in such a way that it sounded like a proper line (at least to us who don't speak the moontongue).

I can't remember why I was listening to her NP lines in the voice section, but hey.

We're always hiring!

So, a thought just occurred to me.
Spoilers for the final Babylon fight:
Before the very last round, Merlin is trying to talk Fou into teleporting him for whatever reason, and Fou decides to dropkick him instead. Mash points out that Merlin is now out of the fight. And yet, during the final fight, I was still getting healed every turn by his Mage of Flowers ability. I thought with him being KO'd or whatever that meant I was gonna have to do the fight the old-fashioned way, without 4k HP regen every turn.

So, did I luck out and get a glitch? Or did I just misread the text leading up to it?

You misread. The spell was still active, it was just justification for no longer being a support option.

It was also justification for 'we need to end the fight NOW before the flower spell wears off' and Gilgamesh showing up with his glowstick.

if that fight had chaos tide without the support spell it would've been an actual slog. for a little bit i thought they might actually do that to pump difficulty though

Also if I remember right about that fight, That's the fight where the heal doesn't actually outpace the chaos tide, so you're taking 4000 damage each turn and healing 4000 damage each turn.

Correct. That's the point that the two opposing effects cancel each other out. Then it's just a matter of balancing your HP pools so that the pre-turn tide doesn't kill your servants.
