I'm actually out of Saber Monuments for Mordred's fourth ascension since I leveled up a bunch of Saber servants in preparation for Saber Wars, whoops. Also missing a Heart though, so I would have to wait until Saber Wars anyway.

By the way, with this update Jack and Tamamo are no longer limited and are in the general servant summoning pool. Also I guess Mash can actually be leveled up to 60 and not 50, because the 50->60 jump was due to an update rather than story unlock and they implemented it now rather than later.
That's good, always leaving Mash behind makes me feel a bit bad. If only her skills were easier to level.

I take it Lancer Alter is story locked just like normal Saber Alter unless it's on a banner? I sure could use a lancer that can actually do damage since I threw quartz at Scathach and she evaded all of it.

Yep, and if various tier lists are anything to go by she's one of the best 4* in the game so she might be worth some quartz if you don't have Scathach.

So after rolling Mordred on JP, I got her on NA as well.

Difference is, I did not want her on JP, I wanted Ereshkigal :(


Also, I just noticed she yells "Take that fiend" in english, is that a line from the legend or something?

From a gameplay standpoint, Modred and Fran are way worse than what's currently available.

Was it just my imagination, or did the first stage in-game for the combat suit mystic code show it was archer tendency instead of lancer/saber tendency? Maybe I should make sure I've had some coffee before playing, because I really thought it had shown archer.

Chaldea Combat Uniform allows you to swap in an ally, which is an amazing boon for your team compositions. Aside from that it has a guaranteed Stun skill and a partywide ATK boost. Of the three new Codes I'd say this is the best one.
Atlas Association Uniform has a focus on survivability, with a Debuff Clear, Invulnerability skill and a skill that cuts Skill Cooldowns on Allies. I believe it's the favoured Mystic Code for those doing solo runs.
Mage's Association has a Party Heal and a 20% NP Boost, making it really useful for farming.

People have already mentioned the skills, but also the outfit quests seem to have guaranteed drops including a heart, some crystals, and a handful of homonculus babies, so they're worth doing anyways for just the mats.

e: And I just got 4 Chaos Talons from the Atlas Uniform quest, so definitely do that one. :v:

Lasr round had an archer enemy with slightly more health. Sometimes I think tendency prioritizes "bosses" over the most common class.

Mordred 100% says "Take that you fiend!" in really bad Engrish on her Extra attack, you're not imagining things.

Taciturn Tactician posted:

Why does everyone hate instinct so much?

It's just very mediocre? It'd be one thing if it were a stronger effect, but it honestly doesn't give enough crit stars to make a difference most of the time. About the only way to make it even sort of useful is to combine it with another servant with a powerful star absorption skill, but even then you might as well just take servant with good stargen instead.

A GODDAMN TYPO posted:

I like the default uniform the best myself, but it's always worth doing the quests to pick up the new uniforms. They don't take up any space or anything, the quests aren't usually very hard or long, and you can sometimes find team comps or bosses where a certain niche outfit will use the best.

The Combat Uniform's stun is really powerful, and you can set up some nice tricks with the team composition. It doesn't have any defense other than the stun, though, so if you can't kill the boss, stun it again, or reduce it's gauge, then you'll have to rely on servant skills to evade their NP.

The Atlas outfit is kind of niche, but the skill cooldown is very powerful and can be used to do interesting stuff like buff stacking or spamming really useful skills in the right composition. It kind of depends on what servants you're using and how far you've developed their skills, because a lot of the time taking a skill from a 5 turn CD to 3 turns is better than a 9 to a 7.

I didn't use the mage outfit for the longest time, but it's NP charge is really useful on farming teams. It plus a waver can give a single servant 70% NP. Assuming you aren't a bourgeois with a million limit broken kaleidoscopes, it can be really helpful to get you 3 NPs right from the start to blow through 3 waves in succession. The same tactic can also be used for those boss fights where you don't get any preliminary waves of trash to build NP against. The shuffle is also kind of nice. In addition to giving you a second chance to make that arts or buster chain that you need, if you understand how the card deck works and remember your cards you can potentially use it to get more use out of a servant's 2-3 turn buffs.

Hearing some reports of people losing their CEs (not Second Archive, your actual main CE repository) after doing some actions such as starting a quest or fusing CEs together. Might be a good idea to re-up your transfer number just to be safe and if it does happen just try to remember/recreate the steps taken to cause it when you report it to their support.
