If you meet Cu Chulainn, one of three things will happen: you'll get drunk, you'll get hosed, or you'll get killed. At least one--two is definitely possible. If you get all three, it's an "Irish Hat Trick".

I'm kinda confused on how np overcharge works. So it only applies if you fully charge it at say 200%? What's the tip about chaining NP's then?

Consecutive NPs give overcharge to NPs later in the chain. +100% for the second, +200% for the third.

So to get the NP5 effect, I would need to chain 3 NP's and the np5 has to be charged to 200% and cast last?

Don't you think you should put more thought into your battleplan?!


No, it'd need to be charged to 300%. Also only the effects specifically marked are effected by overcharge.

For example, Waver's NP the overcharge only effects the chance to stun. The other effects, the Curse, NP charge reduction, and defense reduction are not effected by overcharge.

NP level is distinct from overcharge and you shouldn't confuse the two. To get 500% overcharge you have to have an NP5 card, which allows you to charge the gauge to 300%, and then put them last in the NP chain.

Okay so if I have a NP5 Robin, the damage part is just whenever he hits 100 and anything beyond doesn't help?

How are you supposed to charge to 300% in a normal battle? Are boss battles in the future like 2 hours long?

You use servants that increase NP gain, like Merlin, etc. and Arts chains.

you don't charge to 300% in a normal battle. that literally never happens. even 200% is incredibly rare. overcharge is an almost useless mechanic that only comes up when you're chaining NPs together.

From what I understand from discord and a few other things, later bosses can have multiple health bars and upwards of several million total HP.

It all sounds insane.

Not really. Later bosses have multiple healthbars but only like 300-500k per healthbar, and only like 2-3 healthbars. decent damaging nps do like 150k even before buffs of any sort.

One of the hardest fights so far was in the event where they had challenge quests that were retuned versions of the final fights from each singularity. The final one was vs Saber Alter from the prologue.

She had three health bars, going from ~600k to ~800k to her final health bar of over 1 million, IIRC.

That was, uh... pretty hard.

It's not like Super Mario Bros at all, I was pointing out the discrepancy. Just like you don't expect to see Sephiroth next to Waluigi, you have this undead knight clad in full fantasy power metal armor with spikes and skulls and poo poo on it in a setting that used to feature ditzy vampires, shirtless handsome crazy vampires, flat chested little sisters with weird brother issues, all people in regular normal clothes (except Ciel I guess when she changes into Battle Nun), and then you have motherfucking Skull Knight.

I did actually completely forget about Nero Chaos and Wallachia, point there, their designs are crazy too. I think this is a difference in perspective. I first got into this setting with playing and watching people play Melty Blood. Fate and everything else came much later.

What the gently caress does that mean? Are you seriously saying you can't see a weird whiplash between the design of, say, Akiha Tohno, and King Hassan, and that these two characters apparently exist in the same setting?

You got netflix? You should watch Unlimited Blade Works and Fate Zero. Death Skull Knight fits right into this setting, he's just a bit more dark and grim aesthetically.
