I raised you, and loved you, I've given you weapons, taught you techniques, endowed you with knowledge. There's nothing more for me to give you. All that's left for you to take is my life.

As a note, you COULD be funneling lotto embers into Arash to get him up to max level, and then start using him.


The only issue is I still need to do his Rank Up and that's AP that could be Socks.

Currently my line up is Assassin Shishou, Rider Kintoki, Support Waver, and Raikou sitting in the wings of someone drops. She's so close to m as x bond which is exciting and scary.

What if you bow to Spartacus and call him "my lord". Does he just kill himself?

Oct 10, 2012



Standard operating procedure, Arash NP, Shiki NP, Scathach NP, with waver providing fuel. I can only three turn if I get lucky crits, otherwise Santa Alter lives into the 4th turn. Maybe if I level Scathachs 3rd skill it’ll be more consistent. Oh well, good enough for me, while I hope for CE drops.

Spartacus is completely sane, just singlemindedly obsessed with overthrowing tyranny and oppression. He knows he, himself, is not an oppressor.

Spartacus is perfectly capable of distinguishing between oppressors or not.

'You who bear the manners of an oppressor yet hath never oppressed anyone' is how he refers to Gordolf.

Hmm. Is Jack actually doing anything in the comp? If not, could use the combat suit mystic code and swap her out for someone with a buff they can toss onto Scathach (preferably something stronger than Charisma, but even that might help) or a defense down debuff they can toss onto Santa, and then swap them in once Waver does his thing so there's more damage going out in the final round. Or start with whoever the buffer is and swap Waver in to finish the job if you're using his NP. Depending on who you have available it might not be worth the effort, but if an extra 10-20% damage can make it so you don't need crits then it's probably at least trying.

Hm, I tried that with swapping with Nero Bride, who can match the +50% boost of the default uniform, which would give me an additional +25% from the combat uniform, but that’s the still not enough for a critless 3 turn. I think I’ll stick with the default uniform since it’s less button pressing for about the same results.

Hey look who finally got off their rear end and wrote some new writeups for Mash and the 1* servants!

Also there's a new servant added in there, just fyi

EDIT: The servant animation list in the OP has been updated this time with notes to the side of each of when they happened in JP and when they should be expected to happen in NA unless something should change

Wanted to give Shirou a 10 roll shot. I see a gold archer card pop up and expect a dupe of Arjuna or Orion...

The new servant loading in always has an intrinsic delay, but you have to also tap the screen to skip through his death lines as he's fading out.

You are easily forgiven for thinking him insane. Between his flowery manner of speech and his obsession framing everything through a lense of tyranny and the war against it, he easily seems insane and might as well be.


That said it is good to see the oppressive boot of Baal’s former review lifted free from Spartacus’ neck. Welcome to the Rebellion, today we are all truly Spartacus. :v:

Battle sprites have the largest spritesheets (1024 x 1024 and sometimes even 2048 x 2048) and it's got to be loaded along with the sprites for the menu, the sprites for the battle cards and other assorted bits and bobs, pretty sure it's the biggest single data load in the entire game. (Aside from the one when you load the game itself, I guess)

Put another damage buff or 50% self charge servant in the back line and tag them in, you can wipe that last wave easily like that.
Wave 1: Arash NP
Wave 2: Shiki Skills + NP
Wave 3: Tag Shiki for Backline, All Buffs/NPs

Tons of people can work, I've used Atalante, Iskandar, Drake, and Chloe for some examples.
