There are many good things to be found in this awful game, but Jalter's troll faces are the greatest treasure of them all.

EDIT: In other news, the next JP live broadcast about the Apocrypha event has Achilles' VA attending, which is a pretty good indication he's getting added. I hope you all have your Penthesileas at NP level 5 ready.

Saber node seems a lot simpler than the Assassin or Archer nodes, thankfully. Robin makes the Spriggan pretty easy, Nobu and support Gil don't have any trouble with the last wave. Even if the All node turns out to be a nightmare farming manuscripts on this one shouldn't be too bad.

I would hope Achilles is added considering he and Chiron are literally the only ones for apoc.

My question is how the banner will be.

It's not too bad but the Mona Lisa drops are pretty miserable. Got my own CE and one on Support but that's it. Almost tempted to backtrack to the previous Mona Lisa node.

As in, Scholars of Chaldea? Rolling out 5 is going to be way better than a single MLBed one. It's +10/+10 vs. +/3/+3.

E: Oh lottery CE as in the CEs you get from the lottery, yeah MLB the poo poo out of those.

Some people like to use multiple copies of Empieta/Merciless One when running a multi-tank team, but outside of that niche yes; even if you were going to use them this event you would want them MLB'd.

Ughhh, only getting 40ish currency per node into a shop requiring a combined 11k, gently caress. Just to make sure, if I'm only concerned about emptying the shop (I already have loads of hearts), the 3 I want are Saber, Lancer and (ugh) Assassin, right?

Yes, though Rider is also very very good and likely a lot easier for gold/Mona Lisa farming. I only beat Saber once because I had already finished all ML farming beforehand there.

Yes. Note that unless you're going after Angra or got Edison and Helena you don't need Black Beast Grease because the next servant to come out who needs a bunch of it is MHX Alter. Likewise the only servant to need Spirit Roots right now is Rama, so unless you're really hungry for Raikou or think of Irisviel as your waifu and want to max her out asap, you can pretty safely skip those as well. That should save you a solid chunk of farming time since it's 1400 less currency to farm if you don't need either one.

Yes, though if you have an excellent stable of Lancers and no gacha CEs you could consider the Archer node; it's slightly less good overall, but might be worth it if you find it much easier to run.

Turns out running two 2030's on two Wavers with a Nursery Rhyme as DPS helps out a ton on the Assassin node. I had to sacrifice +2 drops to do it, but it's so, so worth it to cut down on the BS.

My question is how the banner will be.

Come to think of it, you're right. I hadn't realized they were the only two left now that they added Semiramis and Avicebron.

On a related note, my biggest surprise out of Anastasia so far (like 3/4 of the way through?) is how much my impression of Avicebron changed. He went from "uhh wasn't he a bad guy in apocrypha i don't really remember" to the chillest and most reliable of buddies who I want to follow me everywhere. Avicebron? More like Avicebro.

The whole lead-up to (mild JP spoilers) the scene where you summon him is amazing, how they actually view the summoning from an outsider's perspective and treat it like a proper piece of magic, a crazy otherworldly ritual that calls upon a superhuman being that you're in awe of being in the same room with. Up till then you'd only had lovely support servants and had to hide from all the enemies, and after that you can trample over everything like normal. It was the first time in a looooong time that this game gave me the same feel as Stay Night or Zero did.

I've heard some interesting theories on why he showed up when he did, too. They're maybe a bit spoilery for this thread, though.

Also: his sprite is hilariously small. He's like the same size as little girl servants like Abigail.

that's because he's actually that short, going by his official height. iirc there's some random description of the actual historical figure that describes him as fairly short? so

Avicebron is a very small man at like 5' 4'' so that's not too surprising. He looks way bigger than he actually is due to the swagcape and barbarian hair. It's nice to hear he got redeemed so hard from barely existing in Apocrypha. Who wrote the Anastasia singularity, anyway?

Unknown, and likely to remain that way. All we know about the part 2 writers is that it's the same as the EoR team and Nasu. I haven't finished LB1 yet, but if I had to guess it feels like Higashide was in charge of this one.

e: the more I read and think about it actually, the more certain I am that it's Higashide.

I really wish they'd do what they did with the last major event and scale it up based on the activity instead of just tossing three out and calling it a day.

Huh, apparently the event runs to the 10th of May, meaning we're getting the extension that JP got due to server issues. Should be relatively leisurely then since that's just extra for us.
