Oh boy, actually paying attention to Nezha's skills and NP, she looks like an amazing farmer. NP charge, Buster boost and NP strength up, what's the catch?

The catch is that Santa Lily is much, much better at farming.

Even if Nezha's NP5 Santa Lily still does more damage.

my posts are as bad the Current Releases review of Gone Girl

Also random question as I'm coming back after a few months, I know that the EoR singularities aren't mandatory to access part 2, but is there an expectation of any kind of bonus for clearing them all before part 2 lands, like how having Babylon finished before Solomon meant you got 30 quartz? Because I really don't want to deal with agartha but am willing to just smash that skip button if having it done means some free tickets or whatever.

there will eventually be master missions that give 10 sq per EoR cleared but they're never required for any other sort of bonus

the 30 sq we get at the end of this year are only tied to completing the Part 2 Prologue before Jan 1, and you only need to complete Solomon to unlock the prologue.

Agartha isn't that bad save for a handful of cringey moments and the ending making GBS threads the bed. It's worth it for more Astolfo bantz, a pretty cool faux-Drake Alter character, and a great heel turn by a certain character towards the end.

Finally got off my butt and finished Shimousa. Real proud of getting Billy on the backline to fight Empireo blind... and having equipped him with Kayneth's CE. :getin:

Now, what's this about Salem. Ah, witches, superstition, Randolph Carter and Lavinia Whateley. Even if I weren't spoiled about Salem earlier, the namedrops were like "oh, that kind of story, huh."

EDIT: oh hey, a ticket got me Caster of Okeanos! First time I've gotten a servant pre-True Name reveal.

There's no need to rush to be an adult.


I cleared the 'real-world' Ghoul missions using Mash, Herc and a support Waver.

Let me tell you, nothing is more satisfying than seeing

'EFFECTIVE!!'
'0'

Through an entire match. Since the power-down doesnt affect skills, with a K-scope on Mash you can go 3 turns on Mash's buff, 3 turns on Waver, 3 on Camelot, then repeat. 15 turns where you just laugh at everything. I've yet to go over that limit and the most damage anything has done to me was, I think, 82.

Actually, now that I think about it, you could put the scope on Herc and just alternate the buffs, since at max they are both 6-turn cooldown.

Kouhai continues to deliver.

EDIT: Since I was stocking up, I gave a 10-pull to the Gacha Gods. Upped a Before Awakening with just one more for MLB, then fed the 3-star servants to my Mecha-Eli to boost her EXP a bit.

Waiting until I can roll the obvious new servants Sheba and Abigail.

If you’re dragging your feet on agartha, I’m sure there’ll be another 1/2 ap for EOR mainline event eventually. Just skip it all and think of it as quartz, farming locations, and a grail at the end.

Are Rank Up quests ever 1/2 AP? I know Interlude quests are occasionally, but I don't remember if Rank Up quests are included in those events.

So, they kinda spoiled who Tituba is in the very first play, huh?

Also, huge thanks to Wrinkle and Celeste for their Chaldea Lunch Waver teams. 3655 bond points per fight.

If anything, the play makes it even better. Now you're asking how the gently caress the Queen of Sheba got dragged into this mess and turned into a slave for Randolph Carter.

They occasionally get 1/2 AP. The Babylonia anime campaign gave half AP to all starring servants, for example.

They occasionally happen other times too, but Interludes and Rank Ups usually get 1/2 AP during a campaign dropping a bunch of them.

Welp, it begins. And there's a time lock on the cliffhanger. Motherfuckers.

Anyways what was the freaking point on Caster of Okeanos' true name lock? We go from the first on screen appearance to first name basis in 2 minutes top, 3 if you need to put down the tablet for any reason.

The most insulting thing is she never even uses "Caster of Okeanos", and even before her true name is revealed she has her NP with its true name!

Then for Lostbelt they just completely drop it and go back to new servants giving you their name off the bat.

Hell, I think Circe only gets a small handful of lines that actually change with her name reveal.

Keer-kay or seer-say, both are pretty much equally valid because dialects. Ditto like a dozen pronunciations for Cu and Scath.
