I managed to get Melt, Passionlip, and Kiara with only a couple of ten-rolls and a lot of free tickets. My luck in English FGO will never be as good.

I have a NP5 Archer Arthuria. I'm going to miss her :(

okay, took too many rerolls (even after saying that I wasn't gonna do it lol) but I got Elizabeth Bathory and Hercules. Quick question, are Heaven's feel and Formal Craft good CEs?

Heaven's Feel is decent, Formal Craft is amazing. Maybe the best gacha CE to have for really hard content.

Yeah, thanks everyone.

So I did the first two 10x gachas and results are....mostly mediocore or weak Servants (my first 4* was Elizabeth) aaand..... I got Jeanne in my second gacha who is apparently 5* and a Ruler? I kinda wanted to reroll before, becouse I was really unimpressed by the Servants I got, but I dont mind Jeanne and there is snowball chance in hell I'll ever get her again if I rerolll so....
Is she good? Especially when starting out and being totally clueless about the game?

She's a defensive support, but she's very good. Basically every 5-star is, if only for their giant stack of stats.

Ok, so in the name of chasing my waifu (don't judge me), I am willing to trade my current Jeanne/Stheno roll for one with Altera (ie. Alien, female, flying Atilla the Hun). Any takers?

I posted one two days ago, nobody said anything, so maybe it's still there?

A lot of the common nicknames are pretty unhelpful to new players. Especially in this case, since the game is making at least a slight attempt to actively conceal his identity from casual players until he ascends.

I've still never bothered to figure out which of the dozen or so possible candidates "Sumanai" refers to.

Siegfried. No idea why or how

Gil basically does everything Attila or Arthuria do at their very best. Only he doesn't need to use any of his skills to do so. And his actual skills and passive and attack patterns allow him to be more than a wet noodle in between NP bursts, which also come much more frequent thanks to far more crits and base NP generation.
It doesn't help that there are dozens of Arthurias and Attilas out there. Like 90% of the knight class 5*s have that BBAAQ setup with buster NP and a short damage boost and all of them are mediocre, unless they do amazing poo poo outside of that burst, like Gil (or later Drake)

I totally understand completionism in games like this, and seeing their side stories and such, but those stats aren't really encouraging me to put time and effort into 2-star characters..

And then you see Asterios casually destroying some of the hardest boss fights in the game.

What I mean with that is that his skills are great and his NP is absolutely game-changing.

I had hoped we wouldn't get Kintoki for a while... Must stay strong and save all the quartz for Okita.

He's really good btw. Nobody brings the pain better than him (and nobody falls over to a stiff breeze like him) and he works really well with a bunch of free event CEs we'll be getting later on.

Also looking for cool friends for my cool account, since all my friends seem to have left the game :ohdear:

I can offer you a max level Fluffy and a whole bunch of midlevel bronze servants, which interestingly enough is also exactly what I'm looking for in my friends. Don't want none of that gold servant nonsense. I don't discriminate against silvers, give them to me too. Also Artoria Lily, who's an honorary silver anyway.

Caster Liz is superior simply because she can oneshot hands in ember dailies with her Buster Up + NP5. Lancer Liz can't, especially not at NP1.
Lancer Liz' support works well with Raikou and Jeanne Alter, since they are the two big female Buster damage dealer, with male servants she isn't nearly as good and with arts damage dealers I'd probably prefer Caster Liz, since those crits allow you to NP much more often.

I got bored so I did a guide on the upcoming Servants, featuring GudaGuda, Halloween, and the random Scathach banner. Please look forward to these things happening over the next couple of months.

Sounds about right, although I think Okita is slightly stronger than Scathach.

Orion is the only 5* Archer single target NP for a very, very, long time.

And she's still a good card overall, but she gets outclassed hard by Archer Artoria. Euryale can do her gimmick well enough that you can skip her without problems.

A starting account should be able to beat the first two singularities with just level-up AP, right? I'm sure I remember people doing that on day one.

Yeah, super easy stamina-wise. I even have 5 Apples and you get so much stamina with the 50% AP event, its just that the first few singularities aren't exactly high art

I'm gonna try to train myself to not spend Quartz every time I can by setting myself a goal of accumulating 300 Quartz and 50 Tickets before spending again. Wish me luck!

Don't spend Quartz until you have max ascended/leveled literally every servant in your box, then pull until you get something new, repeat.

Then spend it all on Okita anyway, because FGO life without her is no life at all.

Artoria Alter have worse skills, Instinct is lower, Charisma is at the lowest rank, Magic Resistance is lower, and have no passive Riding skill.
Excalibur Morgan have higher damage multiplier, but have worse secondary effect.


But in terms of corresponding rank at the time, Artoria was near the top at the time (seems to be around November 2015)



Thats JP though, I'm pretty sure max level servants were far more rare, which helps Artoria and Jeanne, since they get a giant sack of stats early. Waver didn't have his buffs and AoE NPs were the way to go since there were no actually hard boss fights.

Also I'm pretty sure these 5* rankings were always poo poo anyway.
