Is there a node somewhere where I can beat up Roman Servants relatively easy? It's like the only one of this week's Master objectives that I haven't gotten through repeatedly doing lotto boxes.

Bleah. Gilgamesh fight wasn't hard, just miserable. Given how difficult it is to get debuff immune on a decent damaging Lancer you'd have thought they wouldn't go out of their way to have him bypass it, but no, they did.

I had no gold Lancers, so I ended up borrowing someone's lvl 100 summer Tamamo. My goal was to equip as many crit star generating CEs and just shoveling them to my Cu Chulainn and Tamamo. Took two tries, but another challenge done! So have faith if you don't have ideal team comp. :shobon:

Not to past self: Gil's NP down debuff is not removable, so taking the Atlas MC is going to be a literal waste of time/resources.

Eh, I took it for Invincible+CD down to support a friend Scath, and it was real helpful there.

I just beat the Tawara challenge quest, and I'm still not 100% percent sure how everything worked. Like, his attacks will seal a character's command cards, but when the seal debuff wears off it gives a powerful buff in its place. You get a stacking debuff to max hp, but his attacks increase your max hp, something like that?

All I know is that Tamamo kicked him in the dick a couple times for 1,000,000+ damage.

Release the hounds. Cu Chulainn and Cu Alter shred him. Shishou is good too, even if her NP doesn't do much damage it can still stun and she has an Evade to help her dodge Enema Alice.

This doesn't matter since you beat it, but in case you want to know the gimmick.

Tawara will cycle through lock debuffs depending on the turn and he will apply them with his buster attack (The rice bag toss). Turn 1 is buster, 2 is arts, 3 is quick, etc from then on. Every time a character attacks with a card that isn't sealed it lowers the turn counter on the seal by 1 and when the seal removes itself you get a buff in its place, the buff is actually set and not random despite how much is thrown at you constantly and any of the buffs applied to you last for like 20 turns or until an attack is used by the character. So ideally, you want to remove a ton of poo poo from one character, use np, and do 69 million damage to him. There's also a thing he throws on all of your characters where when they hit a critical amount of HP their NP charge will shoot up to 300% and the Nero CE applies a guts to your character, so you're meant to use that for the fight to guarantee more damage and a dying gasp NP.

There's a few other things factored into the fight, but they're not as important as those and the other things are actually RNG, but once you understand the fight and what's happening to you it's a pretty fun gimmick and a cool thing to give to this dude who has gently caress all in this game for being shown off.

Is this Lalter or the 5* variant? If it's the former I would build a star-gen team (ideal support would be a Waver with a 2030) and try to crit him down in a burst with the Anniversary Blonde MC. One of the Cu's and/or Herc can be in the backline just in case.

Alternatively, the fight makes a lot more sense if you think about what the effects mean in-fiction. His Buster attacks lock out attack types because you're busy eating the sack of food he threw at you. You get a buff because it's good food. You lose health because you're hungry. You regain health because he's still throwing giant sacks of food at you. It's still a big pile of mechanics, but they're mechanics that make more sense once you realize why they're there.

Your gacha-bragging struck a nerve and accidentally set off my self-defense instincts. Sorry about that.
Is it just me or does the new bronze medal node barely drop any medals? I've played through it a few times and average only 4-5 medals a run (plus the bonus from a full stack of Caligula), but I seem to remember a ton of them dropping on the original node.

Caesar was the first emperor, he'll always be a politician.

Imagine walking down the streets of New York, say, W 57th Street and and 8th Ave, and Julius Caesar himself is passing you, although of course you won't know it. That's one opportunity I wish T-M would go for more often, having these legendary figures out of myth and legends walking around and interacting with the modern world.

That was a hell of a fight. My first attempt was a mess and it was a minor miracle I made it far enough for bond CE Herc to lose the cockroach duel against Umu. Second one went much smoother thanks to subbing in Rider Martha to remove the poison and buff chance debuff + purge Ozy's initial buff so I could kill him before he had the chance to start throwing his mass NP charge around. Really, looking back, her ability to just remove the dick move boss debuff of the day has made her a low-key MVP for about half of these exhibition matches. Truly the best saint.
