On one hand, I think that Cu being a 3* is bullshit. On the other, it means that every player gets the greatness that is Cu. Question time, I'm drowning in lance experience as I have no gold lancers beyond Cu (he's gold in our hearths, where it counts). Maxed Cu and Leonidas, any other useful silver/bronze lancers or can I force feed those lances to other people? Any interesting golds if I get spooked? I could grail Cu I guess but that's an important step; gotta decide between him, Medusa or Medea. I'll probably wait until the end of the year to decide on this. Bonus rant: 24 loving chains for Nito 3rd ascension are you loving kidding me?  Oh and of course she wants hearts, who doesn't?

It's also worth remembering most of the antagonist servants in the singularities are being influenced or manipulated by Grand Caster. So non-singularity Medb might not be quite as nasty.

Proto Cu is basically 'Cu but slightly worse.' If you really want an AOE Lancer I'd recommend Romulus over Hektor just due to the damage boost to all allies on Roma's NP, though neither of them are going to accomplish much besides 'lancer AOE NP,' and we'll be getting Santa Jeanne this christmas to fill that role. In terms of stuff not added yet: Extra Vlad's probably the best of the non-storylocked/limited 4* Lancers, when he gets added. Kinda basic skillset but decent NP gain and Stargen, and a 1-turn Taunt for some mild utility. Really strong NP, too, since it just deals extra damage to [Evil], which isnt exactly an uncommon thing for bosses. Combine that with his Protection of the Faith just being a smorgasboard of good effects on a really short cooldown and he's pretty solid, if unexciting. Jaguarman is amazing, one of the best crit servants in the game even without her Forest conditional activating and absolutely bonkers when it does, but she's a storylocked 3* with a weak NP. Though at least her NP being the worst thing about her means you don't really care if she's NP1, unlike Bedi. It'll be like, another year until he's in, but Inshun is a really neat servant who can pull off some wacky solos due to his NP, though he isnt going to be setting the world on fire and isnt really general use. At least he's a new 3* who isn't storylocked. Endorph fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Jul 9, 2018 |

So non-singularity Medb might not be quite as nasty. Her core trait is the desire for domination, physical, mental and sexual. She wants everything and gives nothing. That's why she hates and thirsts after Cu, he refused to bend to her will or even pay much attention to her.

Man I'm still pretty bummed out by that roll. I really just have no interest in Medb aesthetically, story-wise or gameplay-wise. If it had been a normal roll then, yeah sure I would probably check out her interludes or whatever at some point and been happy with that. It's the "waste" of a GSSR roll (and to a lesser degree waste of money I guess) that really stings. With regards to the anniversary, is this the same as it was for the jp server? They have been so good at making each event feel special with story stuff, special music and so on and then for something as landmark-y as a 1-year anniversary it's just 5 completely forgettable fights and and a kinda different icon on the Chaldea Gate button? Seems pretty bare bones.

Medb is cute/good and I'm glad I was able to roll her on JP since I might never get her on NA Too bad her alternate costume doesn't have the jacket though, that was a bit of a disappointment for me

To be honest, OG Cu's level of survivability is unnecessary for the vast majority of content. For general use, Proto Cu loses out on 200 attack vs OG Cu, but has +45% crit damage for 3-turns, +500% star absorb for 3-turns after Skill Strengthening, and +50-100% damage against Beasts for 3-turns. While the last one is rather niche, it does work against enemies such as Chimeras and Boars, who do show their heads more often than not. But even putting aside the Beast niche, Proto Cu has better damage output in general thanks to his crit skills, while still keeping the Protection from Arrows that makes Cu so damned good. If I'm going into a Challenge Quest, I'd want OG Cu, but for day to day use, Proto Cu is going to be better most of the time. or you can just use both, cu is a handsome boy

Omobono posted:On one hand, I think that Cu being a 3* is bullshit. My understanding is that star rating (in-universe) reflects the difficulty of summoning them as well as their strength. The weaker they are, and the more willing they are to be summoned, the lower their star value. It's why the 1* Servants are uniformly Good Civilization, because they actively seek out Chaldea in order to help you despite being on the weaker side. Meanwhile, turds like Gilles de Rais (Caster) are 3* despite being weak as hell because they're not interested in saving the world and have to be coaxed into Chaldea like cats in a hole. Cu has the strength in-universe of a 4 or 5*, but he's so into fighting that he made himself easier to summon. This is why he's one of the strongest 3*.

genericnick posted:I'd like a support that can re-shuffel cards with a skill. Maybe draw only the target servant's cards at lvl 10. Always irritated me that I have skills running 3 turns but only enough cards for one turn of buster brave chains unless I'm really lucky. Poor Mage's Association Uniform.  That said, are you saying it's something like once you've used (for example) Jalter's two buster cards they won't show up again until the other 13 cards have? I could have sworn I've had that happen.

It'd be nice to have another 4* Assassin that can deal damage with their NP.

Rarity is a gameplay/marketing thing, it's not meant to have any real correlation to their lore capabilities. Plenty of free servants get portrayed as imposing threats, while Okita being a 5* is played as a gag.

Tired Moritz posted:Is there a deadline for the survey The news says 7/17 20:59 pst so you have time. After playing JP for the last several months, I found myself being attracted to rare/unpopular servants even if they aren’t high on the tier lists. Because of that I find myself rolling for bryn, medb and da vinci over raikou and ozy (even though his VA is amazing). I just wish I rolled for mhx as well since I like her animations/voice acting. Also Summer Scathach may have a terrible skillset but I pick her as support to farm rider nodes whenever I can in JP bc her np animation is bonkers.

Cuntellectual posted:Medb is described as being a loving but slightly rabid poodle, and that's basically accurate. Sanzang says in her event that she deliberately ignored the summons from Chaldea before because she figured "gently caress it, I've hit enlightenment, this isn't my concern." Granted, the whole event, if I'm recalling correctly, is her realizing that was a mistake on her part. But still, I stand by the point I think I was trying to imply. And Angry Mango might be 0, but, I don't think that implies ease of summons. I mean, he's literally an anomaly that shouldn't be in the Grail at all - and wouldn't have been if the Einzberns hadn't tried to cheat in that particular manner - So the 0 is more of an "It shouldn't be difficult or easy, it shouldn't even be possible. It's literally a glitch."
