Threw my last 30 Quartz after JAlter(EDIT: meant SAlter) and out pops a 5* Assassin. Good old Mysterious Heroine... Jack. A really pleasant surprise.
Also somehow got two of the Vacuum Tube CEs in the process but having so many of these 12 cost CEs isn't really viable.

Something is sometimes dropping Octuplet Crystals in the Scathach node and I'm really thankful for that. Farming those things for Mo has been hell.

Don't they lose the attack % after saber wars, meaning star is a 5* CE that just gives guts at 1hp and nothing else (aka a more terrible version of Nightless Rose)? I could see using MLB Purely Bloom because if you give it a few turns it's even stronger than Heaven's Feel but Star of Artoria seems straight up worthless outside of this event.

They pretty much are just worse versions of Nightless Rose and Heavens Feel yeah, but not everyone has NR and HF. NR and SoA are also the only free CEs that give access to guts, which enable some gimmicky stuff. They definitely aren't on the same level as Halloween Princess but they aren't completely worthless either

Sent you a request. My Okita should be able to carry you pretty far through it. I wouldn't worry a lot about fully completing this event, though. The rewards are nice, but unless you love Saber Lily you're not missing out on a lot as a new player.

Using a Support with MLB Star of Altria, my own MLB Star of Altria, an MLB Purely Bloom, and another Star of Altria I've been able to get UMU's attack bonus to 530%. But I never stopped to ask if I should.

UMU is out of control, it's taking over. Soon all will be UMU.

I only had 30 quartz after I pulled for Musashi and didn't get anything, so I expected nothing but:



also my first Caster Gilles somehow?

Hate-Senpai posted:

Got Xuanzang on my 1st 10-roll and despaired cause I thought I'd used up my luck.
Got Jack from my 3rd 10-roll off a Silver Assassin card and was besides myself with joy.
Got Jalter from my 5th and final 10-roll.

And the other 2 10-rolls gave me a lot of event CEs so they weren't a waste.

A good time was had.

Though I still don't have any SR+ Lancers or Berserkers or Riders, while having like 2 SSR Casters and Assassins and Extras each. Very lopsided.

Also I need a fuckton of Gears for Jalter and Jack and Okita's final ascension, so that's a major pain.





I am deeply triggered right now fwiw

360 quartz in and no Jalter :negative:

I mean my run of luck had to end sometime and I'm rolling deep with Caster Nero, NP2 Merlin for free, NP3 Passionlip, Jack, etc. but dammit, no Jalter as we get her best outfit :negative:

Yeah this is actually why I'm somewhat annoyed at pulling Tesla because boy am I gonna have to spend some quartz :v:

That said my general approach is that I'll pull until I get a 5* and, assuming no quartz left, call it. Ain't no way in hell I'm putting down the cash trying for more than one on a banner with these poo poo rates.

Yes, It was a plot thing on the original fate because since nobody realized King Arthur was a woman, Excalibur was the only identifying trait she had.

General rule of Servant battles is that you don't reveal your identity, as knowing your identity obviously lets the other side also know your capabilities and weaknesses. Excalibur, being instantly recognizable on sight, would kind of be a liability if she didn't have a way to hide it - in this case a minor passive Noble Phantasm called Invisible Air.

I'm still sad you can't have Saber with Invisible Air AND her armor on. Like, thats pretty much exactly what Saber SHOULD be.



Also annoying Arthur can only have Invisible Air with the hood up.
