The stuff that dreams are made of.
I'm getting it done using Mozart with Ox-king, Herc with Golden Sumo, friend Waver with another Ox-king or his bond CE and Anniversary Blonde. Herc NPBB will almost kill Barbatos even through a Buster down.

I doubt im gonna make it home in time to hit the barbatos pinata more than once or twice, so it's there a spreadsheet somewhere that breaks down what the other pillars drop?

Here's an infograph from Reddit with the classes, support effects and drops for all the pillars.

And another with the rates.

Hmm, an hour to go and I only got 81 runs done. Got far fewer hearts than I wanted too at only 6.

About an hour left in Barbatos I reckon. After this, where is everyone gonna go? I'm going to Amon for those sweet sweet chains. A 90+ drop chance for chains is too good to pass up, considering everyone who needs them needs an infinite amount of them.

I'm planning to go for Amon and Sabnock. I need Knight Medals and Gallstones.

Probably Sabnock and Forneus for me. Seeds have been an issue lately, MHXA wants gallstones, and feathers are always in high demand.

In the wrong hands, the stapler is a deadly weapon.

After three 10-rolls and 16 tickets of utter crap (except I was able to NP4 Lancer Liz), Merlin dropped for me in my fourth and last 10-roll. It's my first-ever 5* Caster too, so that's an extra bonus.

And thanks to being away all day, I got way too few runs at Barbatos. Oh, well!

I'm an occult nerd and I just love reading all the name sof these demons from the Goetia.

A surprisingly huge number of JRPGs uses them. Aside from the obvious SHin Megami Tensei series, there's the Ogre series which has a ton of characters named after Goetic demons. Barbatos was the genocidal leader of one of the factions in Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together.

You know you're of questionable character when a demon pillar singles you (i.e. Blackbeard) out to interrupt your super-awesome intro speech.

So with Barbatos down is there any feasible way to farm more Demon Hearts for Merlin's skills? A good way to get pages would be nice, too - I don't mind leaving him at 4/4/10 for a while if I have to, but it'd be nice to max the other skills too.

Not really right now. The Caster daily is always a source, but that's really unreliable. The Moon Fest rerun, which should be a couple weeks away, will have 10 in the shop and have a node that can drop them, though you probably shouldn't expect a great drop rate out of it.

It'll take 3 months, but Shinjuku will finally make it possible to farm Hearts outside of events, which is nice.

Hearts can drop from Friday's Training Grounds... At like 600AP pet drop, so don't bother.

Upcoming Moonfest Rerun has a Heart node, which is not very good but better than nothing.

Shinjuku release finally gives a permanent Heart node... At like 160ap per drop.

I’m curious, are there any comprehensive LPs of the English version on YouTube or twitch or wherever by people that aren’t unbearable? I’m vaguely curious about the English translation but not enough to play through the game a second time.

I've got lancer vlad, stheno and sword Lancelot from this, which is ok since I was lacking a decent lancer and Lancelot also seems good.

Re the guaranteed paid summon, is that only valid if you do a 30-pull? And it has to be 30 paid quartz in total, the bonus quartz from paid packs don't count? I have enough google play credit to buy... 5 quartz lol. Doubt I'll be going for that.

Saberlot is an insanely good single target burst saber that, from what I understand, matches up against multiple 5-star sabers in that regard.

Yes, the guaranteed gacha is only with actual bought quartz, quest quartz and bonus quartz from purchases doesn't count, unfortunately. On that subject - what are the pools for each class again?
