You can run it as many times as you want, you just won't get the mana prism reward again until it refreshes the next day.

I don't think the artist is capable of drawing any face beside saberface with his obsession.

The whole idea behind Sakura Saber is that Takeuchi was supposed to introduce a new Servant but instead drew another version of Saber.

Suzuka Gozen, who was introduced with the CCC event, is now one of my favorite waifus. She's basically the Japanese equivalent of a valley girl and even sounds the part.

From testing today, Suzuka Gozen actually crits pretty drat hard if you manage to stack all your buffs right. Still doesn't really beat out Jeanne Alter, but eh, who does?

Well, I rerolled for a while once we got the convention 20 star quartz and now I'm kind of at an impasse. I barely know anything about the Fate series beyond how goofy and neat Unlimited Blade Works chant and look are, so my first account I kept once I got Emiya. It's now got Emiya, Tamamo, a Heaven's Feel CE and Kaleidoscope. Problem is my second account has Waver on it. I have Martha as well on that account and just drew a Kaleidoscope after I hit a 30 draw on it with grinded out star quartz. Both accounts have Robin Hood and Actual Cu Chulainn (not proto) too. I'm just not sure which one to keep... I think Waver is the better one, but I'm not sure. Or maybe I should just reroll for a better Waver account?

Basically I'm just not sure what to do. Emiya's UBW is the only thing I know from this whole series so I like him a lot, but I can tell Waver is amazing even now with barely any experience in this game. What do y'all think? Reroll for Waver+Emiya (which could take ages) or keep one of these?

IMO stick with Waver. Emiya is much easier to pick up eventually just through rolling for whatever waifu piques your interest down the road.

EDIT: oh yeah, the free 4* pick is a thing too.

Pierson posted:

yeah but did he get the drop

Question about Evade skills: The skill saying 'Times' rather than 'Turn' means (like for Caster Cu Chulainn) it'll only evade individual strikes, right? So an enemy that has a multi-hit attack can burn through the whole thing in like one Quick card animation?

It's actions, rather than attacks. A multi hit attack will still only count as a single action for the purposes of the dodge.

Motto posted:

And all the welfares are free, with event exchanges just being for boosting NP level? That's even better than I expected.

You have to do event stuff for the ascension items as well, which is more or less of a pain depending on the event. For example, BB from the CCC event requires ascension mats that were guaranteed drops from a set of dungeons after the "completion" of the event that I didn't have enough time to do in the end.

Welfare servant ascension mats are always a single special item per ascension, except for Saber Lily because she was the launch freebie.

I'm actually not 100% sure that will be the case. It seems like the reason JP players are swimming in apples is that they were a very common apology gift sent out in the early months of the game, and the NA version hasn't had anywhere near as many issues as the original so far.

Uh, no, I'm pretty sure the main reason I'm swimming in apples is that event quests hand them out like candy

I just finished grinding through the boar challenge with a stall team of Mash, Nightingale, and friend Merlin. Between Mash's defense ups and Nightingale and Merlin's NP heals, I could tank indefinitely.

Cleared it on like turn 170, after letting my front line die on purpose so my backline of heavy hitters could finish off the last two boars, just for style.

Grailed level stat growth is linear, previous stat curve is irrelevant. Herc would get the same amount of stats from grailing him up as any other 4*.

And yeah, lvl 80-90 is overkill for most things until way down the line in Camelot, so you might as well save your grails for those servants you love.

This is a basic, dumb question, but when / where can you apply those Fou cards to upgrade a character's numbers? I haven't been able to find when / where you can do that, and the internet is no help that I can find.

Feed them to a servant like you would exp.

Be aware that fous with a class can only be fed to servants of that class.
