    Thankfully I drew Atalanta a couple days ago with a ticket, so I can maybe replace Emiya.

    Finally finished off the 4 Golem Stones I needed from Gaul, Cu Chulainn is now on his 3rd asension, his artwork is 100% awesome, and his 3rd skill is a self-heal / debuff cleanse.
    ...apparently I just missed on the thursday monster hunt for Phoenix Feathers. :( sadness.
    Still humming Princes of the Universe. How does this guy ever die?

    He pretty much doesn't. Especially when you level up his skills. The cooldown of skills is decreased by one at levels 6 and 10, so when his Protection from Arrows is at level 10, it's only got a 5-turn cooldown. Frequently he will still have a hit or two of evasion left when you are able to use it again.

    My disappointment of him only being a 3* didn't last for very long.

    He's a strong contender for consideration of my grails

    Not really gunning for any other Lancers though, short of lucksacking into a 5*

    Or maybe Jaguar Man

    The good news is that I only need 1 more reverse dragon scale.

    The bad news is that I still need 1 more reverse dragon scale...

    I'll settle for any saber other than Saber Lily at this point. Any saber at all.
    I have no regrets about burning my Master Recruitment ticket to get Tamamo Cat, since she was my main throughout Fate / Extra, but dang.
    I'd settle for a 2 or 1 star saber to raise at this point. As is, whenever I collect Saber embers, I use them on other classes pretty much as a guarantee, and just burn the silvers for mana prisms.

    Does anyone have any idea at all how long it will be until the new 5 Star Berserker is officially released? I know for a fact that I faced him during Thursdays dailies once or twice, and I think he is showing up as #51 on the Material List, I'm just confused as to if there has been any official news.

    There is no aspect, no facet, no moment of life, that cannot be improved with pizza.

    Figured show-only watchers who haven't read the books or looked him up wouldn't know by what's been shown on screen so far.

    Apparently in the servant status screen, Astolfo's gender is listed as "Secret"

    Kintoki was released after Orion, around two months after launch, in JP

    Is Eric Bloodaxe supposed to be that huge? Like, bench press Hercules huge? Or was that just some odd glitch with his shadow form in the trial?

    Sounds like a bug. Unless it was actually Darius, because that guy is pretty damn huge.

    So now that I got Arash to 80, would you guys prefer I give my kaleidoscope to him on my support list, or leave it on Vlad? Vlad is still generally stronger of course and can charge the rest of his NP instantly, but Stella will wipe out a full wave of enemies pretty much every time. Real nice when running dailies.

    FYI, been using your Arash a bunch when appropriate (pretty sure it's yours anyway, not a hell of a lot of people carry him). He consistently blows up the last wave if it's a non-single boss wave every time, pretty handy.

    Stella tends to do a good 30k damage to things that aren't Sabers or Berserkers. Not much surviving that right now.

    I'm really tempted to give my kaleidoscope to him, but I suspect more people are just using my Vlad.

  • MaddocMaddoc I'm Bobbin Threadbare, are you my mother? Registered User regular
    I just need one more Imaginary Element and I'll be able to fully uncap it and have essentially a second Kaleidoscope

    How the hell do you back out of the "select your card" part of a battle phase? Because plenty of times I have gone on to that phase then remembered I wanted to cast a spell first, but I couldn't find a way to remove the cards and select my skills/magic

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    I don't think you can, most likely to prevent checking the crit star distribution before deciding whether to use a skill.

    The sheer speed of it cracks me up every time.

    If you guys are using him, I'm more inclined to swap the kaleidoscope to him. Vlad with the 4* one would only need to charge another 15% or so to get his NP anyway.

    Edit: Figured the knights daily is the perfect opportunity to test the damage range of Arash's NP. This is without any buffs.

    I had enough for another pull and got Lancelot. Who is not a Lancer. I also have this Archer whose whole theme is swords. I don't understand this franchise at all.

    I'd recommend learning more about the series. Y going to the type-moon wiki, but

    Every time I go there I feel like I'm having a stroke

    I tried reading the plot for Fate/Extra CCC a few days back and afterwards I felt concussed

    The original Archer does a lot of fighting with shortswords. His noble phantasm involves lots and lots of swords flying through the air. That said, he does occasionally use a bow. To fire swords.

    The second archer class introduced also likes to fire swords as projectiles. His final noble phantasm is a sword, and he doesn't even throw it.

    That said, this is mainly a quirk of the archers, as all the other classes fight in the way their name suggests (slight exception for Rider, though her noble phantasm is appropriate).

    The most important thing to remember though is that Fate/ is anime as hell and relishes it.

    I watched the first four episodes of the anime at a con when it was brand new. Then I played the first 2/3 or so of the PSP game. That's my entire exposure to the series.

    Which anime?

    The original VN has had two series and at least that many OVAs by now I think, plus another OVA coming up, plus a prequel anime...

    F/SN Archer is -actually- a very, very good archer but through a very interesting series of events tends to fight with swords more because that's where most of his Super Special powers lie.

    Lancelot manifests as a Berserker due to his guilt over his betrayal of Arthur (Altria)

    Anyway I managed to have pretty good luck with class pieces today, and got enough spare Archer pieces that I felt good about ascending my new Jeanne

    Still don't know if she has any place on my support lineup though because currently I'm just not sure how useful she is

  • ReynoldsReynolds Gone Fishin'Registered User regular
    I watched the very first anime I believe? It was a long time ago. The main guy was the typical super boring pushover MC. I remember he had a weird fascination with this tube of rolled up metal sheeting. The fourth or fifth episode ended with the good guys running into the little girl with Berserker.

    Been getting pull anxiety just sitting here on all my Quartz for two months from now when Tamamo drops. Decided to do single ticket pulls every week at least to stave that off.

    So threw a ticket in immediately

    My favorite thing about Fate/Stay Night is how everything and everyone just SHITS on the MC Emiya

  • ReynoldsReynolds Gone Fishin'Registered User regular
    Yeah, I remember the show itself not even seeming to think too highly of him. What really stands out is that stupid tube they kept spending a lot of time focusing on and explaining.

    The prequel is pretty good.

    Infinite Blade works is OK but kinda sucks since there is so much focus on Archer and the guy MC, and they both suck eggs.

    I haven't seen the third animu.

    The weirdest thing about the series is that it started out as a Hentai Dating Game.

    That's honestly the part that makes the most sense.
