Didn't they change it on the rerun to be less grindy?

The Go West event was fine in NA. In JP DW had created it early on in FGO's life-cycle when they didn't know what they were doing but in NA the CEs gave a ton more currency drops. I didn't find it any more grindy than other events and the lite version will be even less grindy.

After mostly finishing the event in Girls Frontline I figured I should really get around to finishing Shimousa, so just finished off the Rider/Zerker fight. Burned my Command seals, as I figured I would, but its done. The rest of the chapter looks a lot easier, Just throw Riders at the caster, ST Archers at the Saber and probably BB/Tamamo/Waver at the Avenger to just NP spam him to death. Am I missing a lot here? Because things look rather more simple from here on.

This Christmas CM is extremely comfy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vy20w72P_ek I had a hard time recognizing that thing Jalter is on until I realized that that's Darius, which is the first time I've seen Darius since Accel Zero Order.

Speaking of Jalter, I've been playing with the summon simulator and I think I might have a decent chance of getting her in January or whenever she's next rate up with 300 sq and 50 tix

This is totally how dumb random luck works.

From what I can see so far it should be decent, two arts and quick cards with 3 hits each and a .52% NP gain should give pretty good NP gain. I haven't been able to see his skills yet though, so it might be better than I think.

W.T. Fits
Apr 21, 2010

Ready to Poyozo Dance all over your face.
Apparently, his first skill is a 3-turn NP charge that gives 10% per turn at level 1, and caps out at 20% per turn at level 10, so between 30-60% over three turns. 7/6/5 turn cooldown, and it also removes any debuffs he has when you use it.

Astolfos NP gain is so bad that he’s at serious risk of not working with Skadi without life support and ending up unviable. He has advantages that MHXA, Diarmuid & Okita don’t have, but they also have real card performance.

There’s a chance he can find a way to sneak into viability but it’s looking like he’s nothing special, someone you should get just because you like Astolfo. Which isn’t a terrible thing, most servants fall into the “not special but worth it if you like them” category.

Point two Skadi at your Skadi-Compatiable™ servant, load up on buffs and get them to 100% NP charge (via Kaleidoscope, usually) then NP. Refill them back up to 100% with a Skadi charge and repeat until all waves are dead.
That's it for wave farming, the only tricky part is learning the Skadi-Compatiable™ servants and what their minimum requirements are.

For boss killing there's a lot more leeway because brave chains give a lot more NP refund (which is why it's so sad that Astolfo still has trouble refunding in this enviroment) so you have more choice of CEs and support servants.

I'm thinking of getting the Astolfo uniform that is now for sale using mana prisms. It'll mostly exhaust my remaining mana prisms, but I'm already pretty good on Fous (all my 5*s and most of my 4*'s and a couple good 3*'s are fully Fou'd) and my Astolfo is my only non-welfare NP5 SR so they beg to be used. Don't NP5 SR NPs generally do more damage than an equivalent NP1 SSR NP?

Oh, I was referring to the new Saber Astolfo there.

Rider Astolfo works fine with the Skadi system, but he's kind of a hassle because he only works with a MLB Kaleidoscope and swapping in Waver which means it takes a lot more time to execute (and requires a lot more resources on your part). Rider Astolfo is just a useful farming rider in general though because he has a 50% charge so you don't even need Double Skadi to get use out of him.

There seems to be a setup with Summer BB that works, using NPQA chains to hit 80% and then his delayed battery rolls him over to 100%, while generating enough stars to crit even with the third card as Arts. The margins are awfully thin (the video's using Cute Orangette and dumping the Skadi batteries into him to get him started) and it requires a bit of card luck and setup, but it does work. I think people were trying to Quick Brave Chain and coming up short, but third card Arts crit is a pretty good amount of gauge for him. Since all his buffs last the full three turns, he has some pretty high potential output as long as he can hit Overgauge or something. Do have to be careful to generate enough stars though since his third skill increases his Buster starpull (and only his Buster starpull) for some ungodly reason.
