E Pluribus is fond in my memory because it's the last time I felt anywhere close to obligation to use story supports exclusively during main story chapters. Once I hit Camelot, my criteria was always "Whatever wins me the fight".

Rejoice. In Babylonia you can do both.

Also there's a few later Arts damage dealers too iirc; the best damage dealer is a 4 Star I think?

The best arts damage dealer is and will forever be the one who shoots Excalibur blasts with water pistols.

I don't get why you would go for Rama over Okita, like ever. I mean, unless you go for cute, in which case Rama is basically mandatory.
How many situations are out there where you need Ramas impressive burst? How many bosses exist that don't get instantly deleted by Okitas NP brave chain anyway? Meanwhile Okita does stuff outside that one burst window, thanks to far better cards and far better stats. She also doesn't need Hans and Leonidas to hold her hand to do poo poo.

Medb's gimmick is anti male and bryhilder basically gets a damage boosts against all males.

Medb's gimmick is being anti-Merlin for the eventual Merlin boss fight.

Repeatedly kicking Merlin in the balls is a gimmick I fully support.

If I'm looking to run a Waver/Vlad/Tamamo team, I'm not wrong that I should grail Vlad over Waver, right? (before grailing good girl Medea, that is)

Grailing Waver does nothing but give you more FP.


Tae posted:

Grailing a 5 star is nothing but who is your favorite character.

Grailing 4 and below is actual improvement, especially 2 stars like Hans who need the HP boost.

My lvl100 Okita is on her way to 16000 ATK, if thats wrong I don't wanna be right.

Summer Arthoria is the King of the batch, she's the Arts DD every team wants and needs.
If you happen to NP2 her, because she really really wants NP2 to be fully functional.
Seriously though, great skills, perfect passives, great NP, great stats.

Tamamo is a powerful anti-male Lancer (which is great because 110% of all Archer enemies are Gil), with some non-synergistic passives and quirky skills with demerits. Still very powerful skills, but not as fire and forget as most others.
Kiyo is similar, her lower 4* ATK is somewhat offset by her Madness Enhancement, sadly her NP only offers skill-seal and burn as secondary effects, which isn't nearly as good as extra damage against males.

I do have a NP3 Marie, but I never once used her, since she's an offensive caster in a game where Nitocris exists, who is both better at being cute and clearing out trash. Looking at her skillset though, she's an offensive caster that offers both buffs and an AoE NP for killing trash, kinda like Helena, only much harder to put down, thanks to Marie's signature invulnerability.

TheFireMagi posted:

Mordred's quite strong, actually, after they apparently buffed her NP gain to be Not poo poo. Against three enemies she gets a significant amount of NP refund, and can chain it back to back to back with some Mikon~ aid in the right scenario. For an example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvdN0OPQEmc&t=1s (minor spoilers for Halloween 3's challenge quest, if people care). This is obviously an ideal scenario, but even with less setup, getting two NPs off in 3-turns is pretty simple, so she has some good value.


TheFireMagi posted:

She's good. Ruler defenses with 11k HP means she's pretty tanky, and she's on the higher end for 4* ATK thanks to Rulers having 1.1x atk mod. Triple buster deck means big, consistent damage, but both her NP gain and her stargen on her single Arts & Quick are both surprisingly good. Her third skill gives her +50-100% damage against Divine/Demon/Undead for one turn, with Divine making up a huge chunk of the Servant cast, so that's a good plus. And of course, ST Buster NP with a Def Debuff before the damage applies is a cherry on top.

I'd say Ruler only having offensive advantage against literally one Servant (plus Zerks), as well as her first two skills being good but not amazing, keeps her from being great, but she's worth the roll besides being cool as hell.

Were quick cards 75/90/105% at JP launch by any chance? The 80/96/112% spread does look odd compared to the other two.

Quick cards were definitely significantly buffed somewhere early in JPs life, but I don't know how exactly.

Hans is a great card in itself, but his biggest boost is how perfectly he works with 2030. The HP boost makes up for his squishy 2* stats, he doesn't need the arts boost of other CEs for NP gain thanks to high-speed incantation and the stars combined with his third skill are almost enough to feed a high star attraction Dps, something both Tamamo and Waver struggle with.

Squirtoria is an easy 8/10 when NP1 compared to other NP1 5*, but at NP2+, even compared to other NP2+ servants, she is basically the best there is.
She just scales so extremely well with NP levels, from her rapid-fire NP to how her self-heal works, she might as well be called King of Whales.

Would Ozymandias, Hans and Mephisto work as a team? Because I'm on team Koyasu.

Mozart is a potato, but then Ozy and Hans are so good that the third guy honestly doesnt matter. And I guess Mozart can setup some insane burst once in a blue moon, not that Ozy needs anymore stars than Hans with a 2030 can provide on his own.
