Herc soloing Goetia is canon as far as I am concerned. :colbert:

:siren: Solomon spoilers!

Aaaaand done! My first girl Carmilla getting the killing blow with her NP was a nice way to round out that singularity. The final fight was nice, had great art, phenomenal music and the surprise Mash save/Fou monologue and sacrifice was a lovely capstone. I feared the conclusion would be overly sentimental and long-winded, but no, brief heartfelt and brought things full circle with Mash finally being able to see the sky from her own time.

Good game.

Oh hey 'sup Shinjuku.

There's this one person on my friend list with an NP5 Tamamo. I think that might be the first NP5 5* servant I've encountered in the "wild."

Gil quickly realizes that the MC is a literal magnet for adventure. You can not go ANYWHERE without tripping over the sort of poo poo he used to spend years questing to find.

Gil in this arc is pretty great. He just came by to visit the team dorm and is accompanying us to the next mission.

Ever since I found out Herc was capable of that way back around the time I started playing this game, I made it my mission to get him into proper shape for that fight. It worked wonders for me, and I'm glad it did the same for you.

The game is very self-aware about the player experience (in this case the fact that it's always annoying when there are multiple enemy classes and where bringing along a class strong against one makes them weak against the other).

lol Gil even complains about the obnoxious "always a crit" front-kick attack the Spriggans do.

And apparently Assassin Shiki is getting an "adjustment" to her NP and battle sprite animations?

I think I've seen that, it's basically just having the active MEoDP appear in her NP cut-in portrait?

So we are getting:
10 sq for the pre-release campaign
5 sq from the sakuracon presentation (given out tomorrow night after the day rollover)
7 sq for the 7 hour maintenance

22 more saint quartz will be nice.

This first Tiamat fight is kind of tough. I'm in the middle of it now, and from what I read online (since you're obviously not supposed to win) you have to last 15 turns. I'm already down to two servants on turn 8, lol. Probably going to either use command seals or do it again with a stalling team.

edit: Oh nm, it was wrong apparently, great! It ended on turn 8.

It makes me wonder if this is just them trying to sneak in the missing 10 SQ from April Fools.

well, there's not missing sq since we didn't have gutentag omen

otherwise this is a normal amount of quartz for campaign and maybe a bit light for a con, with some extra due to long maint

I'm in the same boat. My Tamamo is also 70 and my bride is 58 (though I actually have the mats to get her all the way to 90 once I get a chance to grind - Tamamo is missing chains*, I believe).

I technically have an incredibly great cast for the upcoming event, which is partly why I really want to finish in time to do most of it.

* Chains are quite possibly the most obnoxious mat I've encountered

Chains came out after Tamamo did, she doesn't need any.

Tamamo doesn't need any chains, she came out way too early for them. She does need a crapload of bones, though.

April Fool's passed and there was some kind event for it, wasn't there?

I'm not sure who the argument of "well, you didn't get a fun event so you shouldn't get quartz in this very stingy game either!" is supposed to be for the benefit of.

NA isn't 1:1 with JP so i feel like fixating on some small amount of "missed" quartz as if it's a slight against the players is a weird and unhealthy attitude
