Well, I pulled Nito, Serenity, Ozy, and Karn. The last two came off two summon tickets in a row, at that. My gacha luck sure has changed...now I just need to scrape up EXP from somewhere, since I've already blown through all my event embers. As the content gets tougher, it gets more and more expensive to raise new servants to a usable level.

On the plus side, with that group, farming mats will be a breeze and Ozy can take care of the tricky stuff. Nice pulls!

I believe it's been stated already but there is a strong possibility that when the Anniversary hits we will get 1/2 AP dailies (so, get XP then) and triple great/super success boosts (so, level up folks then).

Wait, I don't understand. How can Sherlock Holmes be here if he wasn't sent by either Merlin or Chaldea? The only remaining choice is the Grail did it, but Sherlock mentions coming himself as a favor to Babbage in London, which would imply that he somehow just transported himself here.

Well, I did a ten-pull just to have something to whine about and actually got Saberlot. That didn't give me anything to whine about so I had to pull again and got NP2 Saberlot. Desire sensor confirmed?

Are there any benefits from doing Interlude missions, aside from the Quartz you get as a reward? I can probably get Robin Hood ascended, but I do not really need to, and I have a feeling I should not go out of my way at this point to do so.

Yeah. It'll be a different kind of boost to the NP effect itself.

Interludes are also nice if you like a servant or want to see more of them, since you go off on a little short side story with them. And some of them have some rewards of their own; for example, Teach's interlude famously gives a bunch of Forbidden Pages, and Robin Hood's first interlude level drops some EXP embers.

Many of them also lead to upgrades for the Servant the interlude is about.

Not Robin Hood though.

You can tell if there's an NP or skill upgrade for the interlude by checking the reward box. If it's a medal looking thing it's a skill upgrade, if it's a sword it's an NP upgrade.

Yes, for example Euryale's NP goes from 900% damage to 1200%, Gilgamesh's goes from 300%(NP1) to 400% and gains a 30% NP damage buff that activities before the NP deals it's damage boosting the effective damage to 520%.

Yes, it absolutely is, and in some cases it adds an effect or boosts something besides the damage. Euryale's interlude boosts her bonus damage to males, D'eon's makes their debuffs last an extra turn, etc. if you're using a servant, do their interlude as soon as possible if it gives any kind of gameplay boost. You can tell which ones actually have a gameplay effect by waiting on the menu and seeing if it's just a quartz icon or if it fades out of the quartz icon to shows another kind of icon. Sword is an NP boost, shield is some kind of skill boost or new skill.

Uh, Endorph? That's not what Euryale's NP interlude does - it boosts her base damage against all targets from 900% to 1200%. Her bonus damage vs. males is purely affected by NP level.

It also increases her bonus damage to males by NP level. It goes from 150% to 250% at NP 5, so its a pretty significant increase.

Yeah but they are talking about the Interlude for her NP, that only increases the base damage from 900% to 1200%, the bonus damage to males is the same before and after the Interlude.

Some dudes just can do that. (His profile has a bit of an implication on how but I don't recall there being any sort of confirmation)

Huh, Cirnopedia lists that her original Anti-Male damage is 130% to 150% depending on NP level, and that after interlude it increases to 150% to 250%. The official wiki lists her Anti-Male damage as 150% to 250% even before the interlude. Guess one of the wikis screwed up?

Cirnopedia is randomly wrong on some stuff, and atwiki also says that only the base modifier got bumped, so I would go with that being correct.

What should I do with Extra Servant copies once I maxed their NP? I am guessing that if they are 3 stars to just burn them for the Mana, but what about those lower? Worth using as XP fodder?
