There are to banners this time: Sabers, Lancers, Archers, and Normal Jeanne on one, and Riders, Casters, Assassins, and Berserkers on the other. 9 servants on the knights banner, 10 on the cavalry banner.

My biggest gripe about the whole "needing to keep utility servants in the wings for tricksy content" thing is that Servants are so thirsty for XP. I mean, for 30-40 AP, you get 9 xp cards, you can give a servant up to 20 at a time, and then you factor in Ascensions and leveling skills, and even a 3* servant ends up being a pretty big investment. I'm fine with the idea of keeping useful servants around for strategy, but goddamn, I can only feed so many.

The trick is to level your favorites first and then utility Servants secondary. This trick also only works if you've been playing from the start, I suppose.

What else are you doing with your AP if it isn't hand farming? I've got nearly every 3* and below Lancer or Archer at whatever level cap they can reach without taking rare ascension mats. (David can stay at 60 I'm not giving him hearts.) Many other classes are in a similar boat. I've been playing since Halloween.

I just largely don't bother grinding EXP except when events are running, since you get a lot more XP for your time that way this may be related to why I consistently fail to succeed at high-level content

In general I'd say not everyone actively plays the game when there's not an event or new singularity out. Half off embers is generally the only thing that can really entice me during those periods.

Well I've been playing for 50 days so I don't think it's surprising that I don't have everything leveled up already, just four of my 5* servants, one of my 4* servants and Mash. Iskander still needs his last ascension and I have a bunch of other servants waiting in line at level 30-60 depending on what ascension mats I have available and how many exp cards I get.

There's nothing wrong with taking it easy! There is no time limit to most of the content that "matters" and anything you do miss will generally come back around anyway. It does a good job of getting its hooks into you for the general grinding loop unfortunately but having been at this for close to a year I can easily see why plenty of people would not want to go at it like crazy all the time. I'd think of it this way: there is only so many ways DW can make this sort of game challenging at this point, and not liable to simply be broken by having that one great support servant or one great DPS. It makes sense to me that every now and then they try to design content that really depends on having a lot of different pieces in a lot of different areas to get through it. So long as they don't gate major parts of the game's experience behind it I think that is a well enough way to go about it. In the case of Rashomon there's a reason why players need to have completed America, while the next event (JttW) only requires Fuyuki. Even just clearing the 2BP through the event is still going to net some decent rewards they would not have gotten otherwise.

I wish I could do a meaningful 3bp but I've only managed to do like ~2m damage while cuzilla/lancer cu stalling. It's kind of fun beating out the timer though.

Thanks to Clawtopsy's Marie getting me over the hump, and managing to get some of my own CEs, I'm doing way better and BP2 is super simple now, with Jack taking off 600kish with her NP, 900kish if it's a full quick combo + extra attack, which is easy enough to clean up with Altera without any issue. Though from what everyone else says, I'm assuming I'm nowhere near ready for BP3  What does MLBing the Uchi CE do? I'm not sure if I wanna clear the store to do so or just go for materials now.

I don't necessarily mind the playstyle change so much as no avenue being offered to more easily prep for it in the leadup.

The Ushiwakamaru CE should be MLB'd asap, it increases the damage modifier from 200% to 300%, which is a heck of a boost.

Thanks for the advice earlier, thread, I finally managed to clear the 3 BP node with Orion/Tamamo/Waver after having burned all 3 command seals on earlier attempts. Got good RNG so that I was able to control the fight well with NPs. It's a nice feeling of accomplishment!

Kild posted:which 3* stars do you not have levelled? Robin's still a few levels shy of maxed out, Hans about 10, George hasn't even hit 4th ascension yet, and neither have Cu or Caesar. Arash and Mozart are level 1. Mind that this is also the situation after putting every single ember from gourds + the mana prism ember sets to use (though some of those went to Carmilla and Ushi). I had straight up not invested in George at all, for instance. Of course all of those got used up without a single great or super success so the levelling was about as inefficient as it could get.

George can get away with not being maxed out. If anything you should keep a level 1 spare George around since he gets a little TOO tanky sometimes and you need him to die so your units can cycle in.

There are people who have managed to procc Shiki's insta-kill on her, but remember Servants are almost immune to it, so don't bank on it.

How does the formula work anyways? I feel like skeletons have a 75% chance of instadeath proccing or something.

Proving once again that the quickest way to solve a problem is to bitch about it on a forum, the next attempt after I made my last post, I fully cleared BP3 again. Feels good to wipe the hands out in one turn.Billzasilver posted:How does the formula work anyways? I feel like skeletons have a 75% chance of instadeath proccing or something. Generic skeleton enemies, as you noticed, normally have a 100% death rate. Most chapter end bosses and challenge quest bosses have a death rate of 0.2%.

Decided to do two more ten rolls for Shuten. First roll gave me NP2 Astolfo which I'm pretty happy about since I plan to grail him at some point. The second roll though, HOLY poo poo Not gonna lie, I lost my poo poo when the second golden Assassin card came up.

I think it's pretty badass and not bullshit at all that reviving through Guts doesn't do away with status effects. At the very least, the skill seal and stun didn't go anywhere on my Cu after he came back up. I had one turn left, and no way to pop protection from arrows. Thanks for teaching me this, game. I'm definitely not salty. Not a bit. Even a tad.
