So it turns out I had enough mats to get Mecha Eli to 10/10/10 right off the bat.

Now to grail her to 90 so Operation gently caress Assassins can commence. :getin:

Sanzang, Melt and Mecha-Eli would be the ultimate Assassin Crushing Team, I think.

The catch is that I don't have Melt or Sanzang.

This way I can throw out double Merlin buffs and utterly delete some poor fool. Then when next year rolls around I can double Merlin one Mecha-Eli then plugsuit in a second if the boss happens to survive the first.

Do any of the missions involve having Mecha-Eli at a certain Ascension level?
I wanna make sure I'm not going to need embers for her before I start giving them to Princess Weeb or any of my other servants.

You need to get her to stage 3, so level 60 at the very least.

If you have nothing on hand you'll probably have to burn event embers + prism shop embers to get her there.

Yes, there is a quest to raise Mecha-Eli to her.... 2nd Ascension I think?

Ok, so the Reddit is now digging through shimosa to find other translation errors, and one they're talking about is really confusing me as someone who also plays JP. Amakusa mentions something about the roots of the fantasy in the JP version, where in NA he just says the sky is on fire. What the gently caress does "roots of the fantasy" mean, and what does it have to do with part 2? Reading it, I just assume it means that the world is falling apart, like in the translation we got, but some people saying it's some huge plot detail they got wrong.

The roots thing is what confuses me most, because it can't be talking about the trees right? Don't those only come out because of the alien god? Or does every world just have a tree now?

You can get her to 60 just off the EXP cards from the shop.

I was just surprised that this blatantly fake image from years ago turned out to be real.

Endorph posted:

The art looked exactly like Bsuke's. The card mockup was obviously faked but the art itself always seemed obviously real to me.
It looks fake because it was part of a set of three pics that were clearly part of the development process. (One each for bronze, silver and gold)
Probably reference pics or maybe final mockups.

It's entirely real. All of it. Including the wonky aspect ratio (the other two sample pics had that too).

I recall thinking waaaaaaaaaaaaay back then that it looked so obviously fake it was probably real (because an actual fake would try harder to look real) so I went around checking and found it within the apk.

So, my Nitocris Twins have been pulling their whole weight this event. Cas Nito can drat near chain NP under the right conditions which makes clearing assassin nodes a breeze, and Summer Nito's target focus and damage reduction can just nullify an attack round while charging up.

Best Pharoh.

in terms of SRW references in FGO:

Summer Saber Alter's Noble Phantasm is a reference to the Huckebein Gunner Frame.
Mecha Liz's NP is a reference to the Brasta.

I know parvati's NP is one too, but I forget which.

And next summer NA will get MHXX, Summer BB, and Summer Jeanne, who are all built out of nothing but mecha references.

He's talking about the trees. The trees only came because of the alien god, yes. It's foreshadowing.

Isn't the way the sword splits open to make an even bigger Beam Sword more of a reference to that guy from SRW J?
