My postillion has been struck by lightning.
24 turns here, mostly with Jalter and double Merlin. Turns out you don't really need AoE when you can do half a million damage worth of crits in a turn.

After looking at the challenge quest I dumped all my EXP into Archuria, sorry Marie - Most likely you're now going to end up in a line behind Saber Fran, Caster Nero, and maybe Lancer Raikou.

After 21 turns, I whittled down the first boss boar and only then did I realize there was another 9 to go. I had a choice. Either:
a) quit and come back with something that isn't an arts/stall team
or
b) arts stall EVEN HARDER.

171 turns. At least it made for a good screenshot.

Would Jalter Merlin Tamamo be a viable option for this quest?

off the top of my head, i think the healing from single Merlin and Tamamo is too low on top of the fact that they don't give any team defense buffs. still probably worth a try

I did it in about 35 turns with Raikou/Merlin/Mash. Merlin & Mash at least are a strong enough combo of healing and damage reduction to outlast them, more or less.

Would you run Gorgon or Raikou given the choice?

Raikou has both a star gather and anti-demon, both of which last 3 turns and her NP does I think like 2x damage of Gorgon's at equivalent NP levels, it's really not a contest.

I wanted to run Raikou instead of Squirtoria but I figured the boars would burst her down.

Mash and Merlin are more than enough to keep her protected, especially if you give either a Prisma or decent NP gain up CEs; keep in mind that it's berserker vs. berserker which means there's really no inherit disadvantage for Raikou since the boars will deal the same damage to any class (except Mash).

The boars are berserkers themselves so either servant will take the same amount of damage. In addition all the big boars' attacks are AoE

I'm trying to save my grails to get Gorgon to 100, but I am seriously considering pumping Penny up to 90.

As someone who wasn’t around for this event last year, I'm very disappointed by its second half. Just a lack of effort all round compared to how fun the first half was. We don’t even get to see everyone leaving the island by whatever method you choose; it’s just “And so they all got home somehow I guess.”

I hate these little piggies so much, I'm glad Scathach genocides their entire society at the end. Last year I think I didn't mind them that much, and even found them funny at times, but the rerun has kind of frayed my patience I guess. Some of these nodes are just terrible to run with the bonus Servants they have.

The only thing I didn't like about summer event 1 was that the last level was "pick which waifu to build a giant statue memorial to before leaving the island"

and there wasn't a "don't" option

As the gang leave to go back to Chaldea, Scathach casts a spell that will slowly reverse the pig's intelligence and return them to a primitive state of existence and wipe out all traces of civilization on the island, which last year I thought was extremely horrifying and terrible, but this year I'm fine with it because seriously gently caress these pigs.

There's one more story-only segment after you get permanent Scathach, yes; they're talking about events in that. I don't remember when it unlocks, though; maybe after the last daily?

Second on the grailing her to 90. Her two buff skills just stack so well together and she does a massive amount of damage in the two turns she stays alive. I only wish I could get the gems to get her skills up where she should be.
