I just hit Level 70 and I've been consistently able to take on Jeanne by grinding her down since she doesn't deal much damage and then piling on with Vlad in my backline. Anything above that is a crapshoot. Chevalier D'Eon has been doing good work, they've been a powerhouse for me ever since I pulled them. I like Siegfried, but...he's kinda rear end.

I had some quartz so I did some ten pulls.

I got 2* darius and then 18 CEs :negative:

Something that I learned today: if you tap the screen once during a summon it will skip ahead to the next gold card if there is one in the ten roll. Always thought it skipped everything outright.

It skips to the next 4* or above or any new card. Double tap will skip to the end

hello
I made the mistake of thinking I could take on MHX and her 1 million hp with my Altrium farm team. Altera and 2 Lilies in the front with level 1 Gilles, Ceaser and Fergus in the back. Blew my Command Seal and still lost.

Went in with a real team and cleaned it up, but it seems like farming the last quest will be tough.

If you're playing from day 1 and spend like an apple a day, you don't really need all slots filled with bonus units since it's like Guda and gives special bonus artorium.

I'm finding the key to a happy relationship with this game is not wanting any servant in particular. MHX's sweet hat and tracksuit threw me for a loop.

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

Did one free 10-roll. Got nothing worthwhile in the way of servants (which was my fate during London as well), but I did get the Crimson Lotus and Bride Training CEs, so I can't complain.

2; Become better at playing Tabletop, both as a player and as a GM/ST/W/E

3; Get rid of this goddamn avatar.
Alter. Bigger Altrium Bonus, more efficient farmer with her NP, etc. Means she can probably put out more damage then Okita.

So uh, what are the odds I can clear the 3 million HP Lalter at the end of the event with 60 d'Eon, 60 Caesar, and the best support I can find, while my back line is level 1 Lily, Fergus, and Gilles?

A friend Okita with a MLB'd Purely Bloom and some Stars of Artoria on your backline could maybe do it? Caesar can probably chunk her for big damage as well.

Okay serious post for a sec. As much fun as I've had I'm done with this game.

I've been anxious to roll for MHX since december. However, on reflection I think this is in serious danger of turning into a gambling problem. I've found I'm spending more and more each month. I know myself well enough to know that my self control has lasted as long as it can and I need to quit now before this becomes a problem.

On the bright side does anyone want my account? I fear if I keep it I'm just gonna come back. I don't have the patience to redo all the grinding so this will eliminate the temptation for me. At the same time I'd like someone to get the benefit. Heres my notable servants:

All the 5* Sabers except Mordred
Caster Liz, Nobunaga and Santa alter
Tamamo
Kintoki (level 90 max atk fous with a limit broken halloween princess)
Drake
A craptonne of 4*'s.

I'm guessing I just need to post my transfer number right? If this is correct let me know.

Just so someone says it, this is a very wise decision. Games like these are carefully designed to prey on certain people, and if you're vulnerable to that sort of thing then it can be extremely hard to step away. Take pride in your self-control and don't have second thoughts.

Oddly enough I dumped shittons of cash into Avengers Academy and Future Fight but the only money I've spent on FGO so far has been for the 5 star gacha. maybe being unemployed has something to do with it, idk

I know we joke all the time about the gacha, but good job getting out of it before things get more risky. I'm currently sick at home with a nasty bug and jealous of the whales on my friends list. There were thoughts of spending the Christmas money I got just to roll some more, but yea, if 500+ quartz didn't get me what I want, it's time to call quits on this banner. I'm going to save up and pray for the summer Archer/Altria Pendragon in the meanwhile.

(The bright side is, I can still remind myself that I have statues of MHX. Can still pretend she's on my support lineup :unsmith:)

Congrats. I'm glad you have enough control over yourself that you can quit before it becomes a problem. Some people aren't able to, and this kind of game preys upon them.

I liked how like two episodes later she shows how cool Excalibur is and he's all grumpy about it and decides to prove his point by fighting her because he feels just by looking at it as a symbol of her philosophies that he has no longer won the argument.

Out of the 3 Kings, Iskander was clearly the best.
Plus, if you really think about it, Waver was probably the only real winner of the Grail War. I mean, other than Kotomine and Gilgamesh, everyone involved dies - usually tragically - before it's all over.

I mean, not the best KING, what with the tyranny and the succession wars and whatnot. But he is pretty great.

Considering that Iskander's example basically inspired Waver to become a new Iskander within the hierarchy of the Clock Tower, he sort of won, if not the Grail War, at least the philosophical battle among the three kings. His philosophy of inspiring his followers through his example triumphed in the end despite his defeat. In fact you could argue his defeat was really REQUIRED for his philosophy to triumph, so in a way Gil didn't even win when he won. Sasuga King of Jobbers.

As an aisde, I love the tidbit that despite having rising to tremendous power and prestige by inspiring loyalty among a generation of geniuses, to the point where the Clock Tower's greatest dare not threaten him, Waver is still super grumpy that he's not all that good at magic and probably never will be. Meaning Kayneth was right about him all along.
