That gacha cursed me.

The event was unkind in terms of getting Assassin or Berzerker choco so I missed out on them (Fran :() and Jeanne's choco. I hope we can get these again in the rerun next year because this was really rough. When's the bride umu rerun?

Nerofest Redux, which is late summer early fall. Probably around August, maybe September.

Each year just expands the servant gifts, so yes, they'll still be there.

I managed to clear the shop of everything but 300 and some change of mana prisms. Now to farm EXP cards for my many in-sudden-need-of-leveling Servants.

Well... make that NP2 Tamamo. The rate-up is a lie, but I haven't spent all the quartz I bought yet, so let's try again. Ooh, that's a gold Saber card! Hi Mordred... and yes, your father is here and sitting at NP3.

I didn't care for Bride Umu, but throw $80 dollars worth of Saint Quartz at the banner for her. I ended up with three of the five star CEs (that would have been helpful), a D'eon (now NP4), and Mordred (now NP2).

Guess I know who to blame for them showing up again, not that I mind.

Back during the Christmas gacha, I spent all my free quartz trying to roll Jack. I was only stopped from plunging into paid-gacha hell by the last minute appearance of the Saintess of Fiscal Probity and Good Life Decisions.

So then Valentine's rolls around and I decide to do a 10-roll on Jack's rate-up day. 60 quartz later, I see gold sparkles and... Mordred? What are you doing here? Your father is in another castle!

Now the cavalry gacha is taunting me. Someone help me. Or post a catalyst.

~Everybody wants to be a cat~
~Because a cat's the only cat~
~Who knows where its at~

I didn't know there was no rateup on the last day so I screwed myself out of clearing the Mana Cubes, so now I need 390 in 17 days or I miss LB'd Mona, and I also didn't get to farm up the feathers or the Berserker pieces I wanted. Stopping the class rotations a day early was dumb as heck, especially when the last two in a row were Knight rateups which were trash for chocolate farming by comparison.

Also Nero Bride denied me after more than 300 quartz and 15 tickets. This event will haunt me. I hope Jeanne Dark is kinder.

Asterios is kind of has a weird party niche, but he is absurdly useful in that niche and being level 90 just makes it even easier to abuse.

i will raise a very strong asterios because he is very into handholding but I'll wait until he gets his third skill.

If you can get two stacks of Asterios's debuffs on an enemy, you can make pretty much anything in the game do next to no damage. A lot of the "hard content with bronze servants" videos you see wind up buffing Asterios up and letting him solo the second half of the boss.

Yeah, the only real hard part of it is somehow feeding him NP gauge since despite his absurdly good support NP he's a your standard three-buster berzerker. You also need to somehow keep him alive long enough to get the NP chaining going which is the big thing grailing him helps with.

I takes over 163 million QP to level up the skills of 1 SSR.

So yep. QP is gonna be a decent roadblock in the future.

I definitely noticed that I had somehow lost some 100 million over the past couple of weeks, and as such figured I should spend my spare time going forward building that supply back up since we are likely to get plenty of gold XP in event shops.

Basically in this game you're desperate for xp until you get blocked by ascension items, then you're desperate for items until you get everybody ascended and can start working properly on their skills, then you're desperate for QP because leveling skills takes ungodly amounts of it. You'll have thought it was never a problem for the whole game, you had hundreds of millions, and then all of a sudden you'll have zero.

Not to say Ascension items aren't going to continue being a bugbear when levelling skills.

Say hi to the 180 Bones and 36 Claws of Chaos you'll need to level Rama's skills.

Fog. Pull for Jack on a day when it's foggy, preferably either before sunrise or after sunset.

If there is no naturally occurring fog within your area, consider taking a hot shower and getting the bathroom really steamed up instead.

Follow up: Hire a prostitute to do the pull for you. It absolutely won't be the weirdest thing a client has wanted her to do.

Bountiful Sea seems less bountiful than advertised regarding Yggdrasil seed drops I need for bride umu's final ascension. Although, you'd think it'd already be included as part of her dowry, right?

I don't need to farm QP yet, but definitely starting to run somewhat low.

Hooray, after a lot more runs than I wanted I finally got the last horseshoe I needed to get Marie's final ascension. Also got Nero's. Once again I need more exp, but thats fine. Also need to get a lot more gears and claws for March, since I'm now low on both of those.

And there's no guarantee that it's even a 50:50 split. It's interesting that out of the 625 gacha rolls recorded by reddit 6 were Nero Bride and 0 were other rate-ups; of course some unknown number of those rolls will have been on Bride's solo days, so it certainly doesn't prove anything.
