With this, I'll be able to make the ultimate pie!
Lancer Altria Alter, Jeanne Alter and Ishtar all to 100.

Before Ishtar, those last few grails were either going to Cu Alter or Jeanne. (Since she spooked me to NP5 despite me never rolling for her.) But then Rin forced my hand, and after NP2 within 3 tickets and a multi, she continued showing up while rolling for Xmas CEs, and within 450 SQ was NP5.

Next possible targets are Cu Alter or Jeanne once again, Meltryllis, Holmes, or Ereshkigal... though having two grailed AoE Lancers might dissuade me from that, unless she decides to pull an Ishtar on me.

I grailed original and Berserker Cu to 100, but lost steam. I might grail the other two, eventually, but I'm starting to think about grailing some of my other favorites - Medea, Okita, and Edmond, in particular. When Orion hits NP5, there's a pretty good chance they'll get grailed to 100.

I grailed Cu Alter to 100 because he was my first SSR.

He's also good mechanically but I grailed him for being the first SSR I got.

I also grailed FSN Cu to 80, Saberlot to 90, and am currently grailing LAlter up to 100.

Tamamo is good. Can't wait for tamamo assassin in NA.

I know Mata Hari is never going to be good, but as one of four people who grailed her I'm obliged to hope her first skill becomes something useful.

Speaking of grails, how do you people tend to use them?

I generally use them to raise 4* (and maybe 3*) servants that I like to 90. On my JP account I grailed Saber Lancelot, Berserker Lancelot, Lancer Cu, Ibaraki Douji, and someone else I forget to 90.

dogsicle posted:

np! i shamelessly stole it from here https://youtu.be/nT3K1AURjWw

it can also be tweaked a bit in terms of cost/order/CE. e.g. i'm running Arash with MLB Element and firing his NP with no buffs, using the followup cards to finish Mata Hari. then the Waver buffs can be saved for Chloe since mine doesn't have a maxed battery. this also allows me to run Fran as the aoe zerker since she has less trouble hitting the damage threshold needed.



Wait, you're able to beat the final mission with that team? Does Fran actually do ~50k with her NP?

I've had really bad luck with getting CEs that boost starting NP. I've only gotten one Imaginary Element CE, and the only other 4 or 5* CE I've gotten that gives +NP% is this 5* one that gives +60%.

well, it's interluded NP4 Fran and I pop her skills + plugsuit atk buff, but she does drop 200k on Drake's entire wave.

Grailed:
- Medea Lily
- Medusa Lily
- Heracles

Will be grailed (once I have rebuilt exp and qp stores, currently taking a breather from farming):
- First Hassan
- Anne & Mary (Archer)

There's several others I'd like to grail now, but I want to save some in case I get some future servants I really want and would definitely grail (Holmes and Hokusai for sure, maybe some others).

Can attest that an NP2 post-Interlude Fran with a level 20 Kaleidoscope and Overload at 6 does about 50K without any other damage buffs active. Been running an Ishtar/Spartacus/Fran frontline with the Mage's Association outfit and she's consistently been wiping 2/3 of the first wave and leaving Caesar barely clinging to life for normal cards to handle.

Yu is okay. she's set up to be entirely self-sufficient by healing herself and charging her NP, but this is offset by having very low atk for her rarity and an NP demerit that removes all her buffs, stopping her self-sufficiency gimmick dead in its tracks. she can avoid her NP demerit once every 5 turns by using her skills smartly, but if you want/need her to NP more often you'll need to run her with one of the few supports that offers buff removal resistance like Murasaki Shikibu or Semiramis. maybe it's damning that you "need" a limited SSR to enable a character like Yu but those two do at least synergize quite well in terms of role and you'd probably be taking at least Semiramis to the same fights so it's not a wild mismatch like say...running Yu with Benienma.

as a farming servant she can clear a wave for you, and that's probably most of her use. she won't stack up to units like Summer Scath (who is a free NP5) in terms of damage, or Cleopatra who is more oriented towards challenge content but that's fine if you like using her.

Saber Alter to 90 and Jing Ke to 90. I... don't know if I'll grail anything else, honestly. I'm always running out of XP cards as is.

Also, my Lancelot/Darius III/Arash/Support Merlin/Nobu/some 3* bonus dork with the Quick suit works alright. It "helps" that I have just a single Poster Girl, which goes in the back row to load up on Kaleidos. :haw:

Fun fact Fran actually has the single strongest NP damage of any AOE Berserker.

THAT'S SPECTACULAR.
I haven't grailed anyone yet because I'm still fairly new to this game. I'll probably get Waver to level 100 though. I know it's not "optimal" to grail a support caster but, gently caress that, Waver's been the bro-est of bruhz for me and he deserves it.

After that, probably Jaguar Man because she has the unique distinction of being the only character from the franchise that I had both heard of AND knew enough about to actually like.

on jp i grailed taiga to 100 and am mostly just grailing random servants i like to 90. so far ive grailed saber medb, rider anne mary, billy, jing ke, ibaraki, bedi, hans, and asterios. if i get sitonai ill grail her to 100 too so i can have the tiger dojo. im also considering getting consort yu with the next 4* pick ticket and grailing her and xiang yu to 100.

on na im intentionally grailing the worst servants in the game, but ive fallen off playing through the story/through events to get the grails i need. my current plan is

all: siegfried (I don't think he's that bad but he's the meme bad servant and I like him)
Saber: Gilles
Archer: Tawara (hes also not that bad but there aren't any bad archers)
Lancer: Diarmuid
Caster: Geronimo
Rider: Boudica
Assassin: Sanson
Berserker: Caligula.
Extra: Unsure, maybe mecha liz (Also not that bad but I'm struggling to think of a bad extra class)

Jalter Zerker's really good. She wishes she had a star weight or crit damage skill but as far as a ST berserker who hits stuff hard she does everything you'd want besides that, and even has an NP charge skill so she can actually get to her NP. And since she has free NP5 her NP hits hard.

she's pretty much top of the heap for ST zerker damage due to being NP5, though MHXA can outdo her at NP1 against sabers and same for Penth against the 8 Greek men that exist. other than that she's got a small NP battery and a unique 3-turn evade skill that can help her outlast your average berserker who has no or only a single turn dodge. outside of the dodge i wouldn't be surprised if she died to one or two hits but you can get plenty of good use bringing her in as cleanup crew on a single boss.

e: whoops, forgot Hijikata who can probably outdamage her at NP1 as well if you manage to make his low hp gimmick work. he definitely can if you slap him with a 1hp guts and he survives.

Yu's damage isn't great but the real problem is that she has amazing NP generation but her NP punishes her for using it frequently. Without that demerit on her NP she would be a respectable B-tier bad assassin instead of a joke.


Her real value is in being extremely cute & cool. I didn't plan to at all but she charmed me and now I have her grailed to 100 along with both BBs.

Knowledge is pain plus observation.


Back when I played on JP I had Cu, Ushi, and Medea grailed to 90 since I had no 5* in their class for the longest time. (I didn't have any Lancer or Caster 5* period before NA FGO got announced and I dropped JP)

On NA I grailed Angra to 100 on a mix of a whim and a plan to make him an incredibly janky tank (Level 100 w/ full Fous + MLB Golden Millennium Tree combined with his upgraded 3) and I'm planning on grailing Melt provided I can roll her when CCC hits.
