In the wrong hands, the stapler is a deadly weapon.

Did two free 10-rolls and used up over a dozen tickets and got zilch. Took a risk and bought some Saint Quartz to supplement the few left that I had and did one more 10-roll.

Got rewarded an Abby for my spendthrift ways. Honestly I just really wanted a Berserker counter and she fits the bill nicely. Though I wouldn't be surprised if I've used up my luck for a little while now.

Hokusai in less than a month, then MHXX on the second Summer 3 banner

that's it, only 3 so far and they're all limited servants

Hmmm...let me look up Hokusai then.

EDIT: Stat and skill wise, I like the evade, NP charge and buff/debuff, and though the anti-group NP wouldn't be as useful as a good ST for Berserker bosses it still has a place. Personally Hokusai's 'weird painter that becomes an ink demon' thing is less off-putting than 'Loli-Sothoth' wearing butterflies. So, guess I am waiting for less than a month!

st bosses are gonna be rarer going forward and some zerker ones are also stacked enough that they can shred foreigners anyway. it's not a class you roll or take just for the zerker resist.

they're better treated as all-purpose attackers, which is also why abby ends up losing out to hokusai. she's ST so in most cases you can take a counter-class for better damage/performance, whereas hokusai can fight equally against multiple bosses at once (something the main 6 classes will often struggle to do, due to common counter-classes). her unique defense debuff means she can drop some pretty nice card damage on single targets too.

Out of curiosity, without giving away too much, how close am I to the end of Salem? I don't think I've been rushing through it, but I'm only at Section 8 and it already seems like I'm getting near the finish line. Is that the case or do I still have a ways to go (like maybe I'm just halfway through or whatever)? Not that it matters much, just wondering.

The Smoldusa and Gorgon interludes were heartwarming. I'm glad Euryale and Stheno welcomed both Medusa variants into their dysfunctional family without batting an eye. :kimchi:

Part of their backstory was that they willingly let themselves be eaten by Medusa-Gorgon, so it only fits.

The new top 30-ish for me. Kinda surprised by some of the ones who dropped out from top 10-ish to not even in the top 30 this time, but otherwise, yeah, looks about right. On the other end of it, Fergus managed to beat out the Mephistopheles/Phantom tie for last place this time.

This seems like a tedious way to do something that you could easily decide yourself, unless you're just not sure who your favorite servants are. I'm sure that I'll put folks like Holmes, Dante, and Karna ahead of almost everyone but each other and that they'd end up at the top in the end as a result (Holmes would probably get top position since I love his art and he's a fun character too).

I think the point isn't much trying to figure out who your favorites/least favorites are, but rather seeing how the people in the middle compare to each other. For example, my top 10 ended up being the Tamamos, the Raikous, the Melts, and the Hokusais, in that order, which I knew to begin with, but while sorting I found myself putting William Tell and Arash above quite a few other Servants, simply because I realized I actually really like them while thinking it over.

Around the middle just I had a long list of ties, since I simply clicked tie for the Servants I didn't feel strongly for one way or the other.
