brainwrinkle posted:Conversely to the opinion above, I thought this event was pretty well designed and mostly fun. The variety of 40AP quests dropping over time helped keep the grinding somewhat interesting. It actually takes some effort to clear out the good stuff from the shop, so you should be a little selective. Plus, there was nothing as terribly unfun as trying to get a Halloween Princess drop. I'm with you on this. I flatly don't believe you could have bought out the entire shop without a lot of apples/quartz spent or getting obscenely lucky but it's been fairly fun overall and, as long as you know what you want, fairly easy to focus and get what you want.

Stallion Cabana posted:I'm really glad that I have the knowledge that future events are less bad then this because if I didn't I think this event would have made me quit. The event gives you about 10 apples, which is more than enough to put a big dent in the shop. e: the Thanksgiving event will also give you 8 Apples for just 16 Mana Prisms. Go hog wild.

Please share the GUDAO CEs with the rest of the class. I've not gotten a single one to drop this whole time for some reason.

The only CE drops I've gotten have been Nobbus. Which is fine, I have not needed the extra point boosts.

Motto posted:Their name is uh *checks friend requests* Of the Sheffield Hoeslayers? Now that I'm over 1 million points and well on track to 1.5 I've just been using my real team frontline for the 40ap and so archers are getting appropriately toasted by level 90 vlad/kiyo. Funny how much easier the game is when I'm not stuck using underleveled servants I don't have synergy set up with  Also, some reddit dude posted some grind math if you wanna try to prioritise.

Holy crap I can't believe I almost forgot to do the daily 1AP quest lol. Good thing I checked this thread, otherwise I would have gone to bed happy go lucky. JP players, is it true that every lottery box gives you 40 4* ALL Exp Cards? Because that seems kind of too nuts, but that's what I've heard from browsing through reddit looking for Christmas shop material info.

You are going to need every last one of those cards, and you're going to want more no matter how many boxes you grind.

Yup, the 1st Christmas event is absurdly generous with it's lottery. Hence the common refrain of 'save apples for Christmas'

It's going to be hard to fight the urge to not level up most of my ascensions from GUDAGUDA and, well, I don't want to say because I know that just assures my failure. So maybe a good idea to spend the 1/2 AP dailies going after pieces/monuments/mats rather than gold XP cards? I know I need like two Phoenix Plumes so I might as well set up shop in the Saber 30AP for a day.

Yeah, this event has been a definite help for me. I need loads of Claws and Hearts for my characters, so this was just what the doctor ordered. I'm not close to clearing out the other upgrade materials, but every one I get here is one less I have to grind for later on. And as a bonus the 40AP Caster fight gave me enough Snake Jewels to finally evolve Carmilla. That said, I'm more or less at the point where I'm ready for this event to be over with so I can do other things.

They give 24k, 30k, and 40k Honnoji points respectively before bonuses, that is 94k, if you've got a +300% Bonus (easily done with support Okita, your own Nobu, and a few event servants/Gudao CEs) that is 94k*4=376k. You'll be fine. If you're really worried about points/bonus I've got my level 50 Okita equipped with an MLB'd Gudao for a +160% bonus by herself. I think you're already one my friend list, if not, list your friend code and I'll send an invite.

Hooray, the things I most wanted to clear out (hearts claws and shoes) I've finished with. Now I can focus on a few less important things like crystals and fous. Also third ascended Boudica. No regrets.

 Thanks Avici  (I could probably lower that a turn or two if I put Atalante before support Okita, but I didn't expect things to break that easily.)

40 AP boss rush thing is up and i have 34 AP right now. Any tips? Just bring my best Servants and...i dunno Jeanne? Waver? Just wing that sucker? I was thinking Tamamo, Vlad, +(friend's)Waver.

Main thing is that drake will gladly double kill waver and Tama if you let her. I recommend bringing george and Leonidas - even if they're low level, they can tank a round.

2 Zerkers + George, with priority on removing Mata Hari 1st.

ZiegeDame posted:So what's a good support if my plan is to tank hard and probably blow my command seals? A berserker of some sort? Either a strong ST damage dealer or a good wave-clearer would be ideal; I've been running Waver/Tamacat/Mash in my frontline and getting by pretty well by spamming Tamacat's NP as much as possible and tanking damage. The key targets to focus down in the wave phase are Mata Hari and Nobu, and then just making sure to keep the mega Nobbus alive as long as possible to prevent Okita from going wild with multiple actions per turn.

remember that poster girl gives a 3 turn taunt, so if you grab someone like jeanne she acts like a free george for the beginning. Of course this only matters if you have the damage to take advantage of the three free turns

George did great with Poster Girl and then his own taunt after it wore off, then Jeanne (also with pg) stepped in once he finally fell.

Okita/Saber Alter/Waver did the trick, with Jeanne/Vlad/Gil as backup (though the first team lasted until Okita). Had to use a seal to charge Saber Alter's NP at one point and Nobu was pretty scary since I had two Sabers in my team at that point, but luckily Waver was able to stun/drain that particular wave.

Trip Report: Kiyo, George, Herc, Emiya, Benkei, and Nobunaga made it all the way to Okita before I had to blow my command seals. Then Kiyo and Herc unleashed a buster NP chain and Okita loving melted. Actually she survived with ~10k and used her dodge, so George got to pop Ascalon on a Nobu to prove what a good, indestructible boy he is.

  Drake got pretty heavily trashed early on due to poster girl, I should've used Evade on her the first round or so to try to reduce the damage she'd take. Still I weathered through and Drake obliterated Gilles and Benkei and a Big Nobu with a Buster NP Brave Chain and then Nobu just hoovered up the stars next turn with Demonic King (level 8!) and obliterated Okita with her NP and Crits. Backup Robin was never even needed. No enemy got a NP off, in part thanks to Tamamo's Curse. Galaga Galaxian fucked around with this message at 06:22 on Nov 21, 2017 |

I accidentally brought my point farming team to the boss rush, whoops. Still, they got me to Okita without having to burn seals. And then people started dying.

Avici isn’t too difficult to farm with a couple of good multi target NP servants and Waver. I’ve cleared it 5 times now with Drake + Waver + Support Salter/Emiya/Hercules. Only had once close call that came down to Benkei vs Waver. With 3 Poster girls you pull in 62 tea things per run.

Herc + Lancelot + Waver + George + Support Archer can pretty reliably clear this. Guess this will do for finishing up Gumo farming.

Depending on what you have access to, Tamamo/Jeanne/whatever can mostly just zombie its way through Avici. Maybe toss a Berserker/Archer at the end of your back line to clean up Okita if needed.
