e: tho seriously I get thinking they lay it on too thick in this particular event, but generally they keep her pretty light and funny and give her actual dynamics with
other characters like Tamamo & Hime, Liz, the gag with Raikou and Serenity, etc to keep her from being too one-note

I really hope Japanese fanart hasn't inflated my expectations for Yokai Girls comedy hijinks once Osakabehime rounds out the cast, but I'm afraid it has

Last night I topped up my quartz supply in the hope of getting some event CEs and got me a Summer Tamamo on my first and only +10 pull, which is as :krad: as you can get!

Also my Bunyan is at :siren: level 90 :siren: and will be level 100 sooner or later. Her skills are also at 10/5/8. She's a farming queen and I have over 30 friend slots available so add me if you want help 3-turning your daily farming missions!

Kiyo has some issues.

I mean, yeah, that's like her whole thing, from start to finish. It's why people like her.

Also, god help me, I like Raikou. I could do without the extra-gratuitous jiggling, but she's really no worse than half the other characters in that respect, so I can't be too mad. She for sure is just a carbon-copy of one of the three possible characters that Raita is able to draw, though, with Shuten Douji being one of the other two.

So it sounds like in JP that from now on the first copy of a Servant you get will autolock. This is a good change that would have saved me the heartache of accidentally burning my Summer Anne & Mary last night.

Reached out to Support, they told me to suck it. So be careful guys and don't be a dingus like me because Support won't reverse any mistakes like that no matter what, it seems.

Is Kintoki or Moriarty the third one? How does the fanbook art of Sherlock, Moriarty & Jack fit into this three class system?

Hey, I like how utterly absurd Raikou's tits are. It's like Raita's trying to take his fetish as close to 11 as the game's age rating allows, and that's guddamn hilarious to me. It's also underscored by him then turning around and making a design as unironically and genuinely fantastic as Moriarty. It's like, we all know he can do good designs with proper anatomy but gently caress that here have some weather balloons attached to a telephone pole.

CEs that have an inherit "Damage Plus" like Volumen or servants passives like Core of the Goddess. Angra's NP also completely bypasses all defenses and resists so it's arguably the one time he's truly able to shine. And yeah buster chains.

Final wave is a 50k crab at 99% damage reduction if not higher. A buster chain is like 7k in fixed damage.

E: yeah now how to make Angra deal 50k damage. I do have Kiritsugu for taunt shenanigans.

Angra at 100 with normal Fous is about 12K HP. Slap on a level 80 Golden Millennium Tree for another 5K HP (2K base + 3K after 10 turns), double Merlin for another 6K HP for a grand total of 23K HP.

At NP5 he deals triple HP lost, so if you can bring him down to 1HP exactly he'll be able to deal 60K damage.

Poison/Curse/Burn also work, so if you have someone who applies that on their NP and can loop decently (Serenity is decent) they can go through them pretty fast. Insta-kills work too, I'm pretty sure.

The 4* CE Covering Fire has one of the highest flat damage boosts in the game and almost everyone should have 1 or 2 lying around that they've never used. It's the best CE to use for the crabs.

Big thank you and shout out to Thinking, who I do know is a goon, for keeping their MLB Kaleidoscope on Scat. It is an enormous help with the Gazer boss on the Cavern node for farming iron. Unfortunately I don't think our times usually sync up, cus I almost never see you on my Friends list, but still, it's appreciated.

EDIT: Is there a way to hide the UI? Since this is the last time this event is going to be run, I want to take a picture of my big dumb Simulated City for posterity, but the HUD is getting in the way of Marie's glorious 50 foot tall statue.

The fact that the stupid crab can no-sell the DEF-ignoring NPs and requiring Buster chains of regular attacks to damage it quickly enough is a wonderful, yet annoying, trick and I applaud DW for doing it. The Fou's still mine, though. gently caress that crab.
