So right now I'm just focusing on candles and cupcakes to clear out the shop, what's the ideal efficient CE set up to farm that? I've been looking at some guides, but they aren't real specific. Right now I'm currently doing 2x Halloween Princess and 4x Mais for 30AP/Party, and 3x Little Halloween Devil and 3x Maid for Guerilla. Don't know if that's efficient or not, just what someone listed at another site.

BTW, first time posting here, but been playing since launch if y'all want some friend support: 815,444,398

What exactly is the level that lancelot starts getting decent? Level 60? Do you usually blast his NP on wave 1 or 2 and clean on 3?

Managed to get Tesla with 60 quartz (when I really wanted to aim for is LAlter) which certainly beats the dupe Orion I got with my summon ticket earlier.

And definitely will blow my hundreds of quartz to roll for MHX even though she's garbage gameplay-wise.

I barely have any drat gems, if they were easier to get maybe they'd be a bit more leveled up on mine. :(
Also if they're going to make me spend ascension materials i usually just hold off since those can always be better used on ascending servants.

I'm sort of glad I overdid the Christmas event because I still have gems left over from that event. Wanted to hit box #50 back then but can only tolerate up to #43. I don't know how many lotto boxes I'll do with this one though.

All the servants I do want to level need so many pages however. (Et tu, Jalter?)

The disappointment of not getting her wore off pretty quick after I borrowed one and used her NP. It's not just the bad grammar, the pronunciation is hilariously bad. Hell, regular Jeanne has no problem saying Luminosité Eternelle correctly. Just another sign she's a poor counterfeit.
Also she's kinda fragile. The bicorn in the Lancer node took down a max level one to death pretty easily in a single turn.

She doesn't reach game-breaking status until like a year from now anyways.

Huh, is it really that bad? I'm using Mordred/Nero(lvl. 60)/B.Nero support usually and have yet to have any of them die. Backline is Mash, Jack and Ushi just for more Fake drops.

I have a harder time if my team comp doesn't synergize well. I use Jalter and S.Alter as my frontline and which Saber support has the MLB CE. My runs are much easier with buster supports like Altera and Artoria than with Okita or B.Nero. By much easier I mean bicorn dying in 1-2 turns vs 3 or more.

One Uchi + support Uchi does make BP2 into a faceroll. Using Waver/Tamamo/Orion setup at the moment, and only rarely does one of the frontline wipe, and then I have a level 100 Jalter waiting to bat cleanup.

Noob post: So, I've been loving around idly with this game for a little while and I suspect I'm playing it wrong. I'm still making my way through the story -- I'm probably about halfway through Orleans at the moment, most of my Servants are at about level 20 -- and AFAICT the only way I can get Saint Quartz is by doing story quests (usually requiring between 3 and 5 3-stage battles for one quartz), doing Free Quests on the side (which are pretty much the same), and doing Master Missions (which give me a quartz every once in a while). And daily login bonuses, I guess.

But as far as I can tell the only way to reliably get Servants is by doing Grand Summons, and I am accumulating quartz so slowly that I'm rarely ever able to do one of those. Is there something else I should be doing to pull in some extra quartz on the side? I have literally no Sabers and it's driving me nuts.

Also I recently decided to level up a Caster out of my big pile of unused Servants, to help with all the Assassin enemies I'm seeing all the time, and selected Babbage for robot reasons, and he appears to deal absolute poo poo damage. Am I like using him wrong, or did I just pick the wrong Caster? The ones I have are him, Geronimo, Cu Chulainn (who I've been avoiding using because I do not like his weird goth tubetop), the worst possible demon Mephistopheles, Bill Shakespeare, Hans Christian Andersen, and Mozart.

FGO is one of the stingiest games regarding gacha rate. You get 3* servants for completing the stories and 4* servants for completing certain events (there's a good 4* Rider coming up in a summer event). Also, keep an eye out for the paid lottery that will be coming up soon. Requires spending :20bux: for a 30 quartz roll, but you'll be guaranteed a 5* servant (and believe me you will want to do this if you intend to keep playing).

Waver/Tamamo/Orion's been carrying me so far in 3BP and by far I mean stalling just long enough for her to pop a single NP by the end of turn 15. So glad it's single target.

Waver/Tamamo/Orion continues to be easy mode. Between constant NP drains, Orion's crit reduction, and Tamamo's party heal and Fox Wedding, I have yet to wipe since the event started and with MLB Ushi on Orion, very rarely don't kill.

I was undecided on what to put for the backline, but decided on another Waver for easy 50% NP gain and Cu for his survivability in case the frontline does fall.

Rogue 7 posted:

I'm still unsure how to handle the 6M HP Ibaraki. I'm not going to try today, since I'm running the standard Orion/Tamamo/Waver frontline and the hands having advantage on Orion is probably too much, but even without that, Ibaraki will still deal like 4000 HP a hit, and my healing can't really keep up. I'm at the point where 1M HP is a cakewalk- if I fully buff Orion, Tri-Star at the end of the NP chain deals about 1.2 million- but I can't see charging up enough NP to consistently outheal the damage she puts out.

I switched from Orion/Tamamo/Waver to Nero/Tamamo/Waver + plugsuit with Orion in the backline (though any AoE Saber should do). Nero kills the hands then let Orion take care of Ibaraki.

My strategy before was keeping Orion and Tamamo alive (let Waver be the sacrificial lamb), kill the hand with the 3-turn NP charge as soon as possible (for me it's easier to juggle NP charges with just the other hand + Ibaraki), and the usual arts chaining and Fox Wedding shenanigans. I do use Atlas over Plugsuit however. The 2-turn cooldown is usually for when Waver's about to croak and I need his buffs before he dies (or when I need Tamamo's NP drain + Fox Wedding) and the invincibility skill for Tamamo for whenever Ibaraki actually fires her NP.

My CEs are MLB Ushi on Orion, 2x MLB Carps (one from support), and an extra Carp.

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

I do the opposite because mat drop rates are pretty bad outside events and usually I'm not hurting with gems or monuments since I tend to clear the shops. Plus I like that feeling of a servant being leveled up. :v:

I'll probably roll in the Knights banner. The only one I really want on the Cavalry banner is Jack or Ozzy and there's too many chances of dupes. Plus I'm missing a 5* Saber even if the ones available are pretty meh. And I wouldn't mind getting NP2 Jeanne (since the defense buff goes from 5% to 15%).
