[FATE/GRAND ORDER] Success Rate Up is still a lie

Maddoc

Dumped my sq in, honestly just hoping for 3* story locked servants

Ended up with NP5 Jaguar Warrior and, womp womp, Caster Gilles

Ten tickets got me two 3* CEs, Jaguar NP2, and some actual real garbage!

I spent three hundred quartz failing to get Merlin, and then got Musashi in a yolo ticket. Randomness is very random, it turns out.

Note also that there are people who have spent thousands of dollars failing to get the Servant they wanted. Gambling's bad for your health.

I swear I have better luck with tickets than with quartz. Scathach, Mordred, and Shuten all were accidental ticket pulls.

vagrant_winds

It's single 10 pulls for me until Parvati now.

Madican

Did ten ticket pulls because I am pathologically incapable of holding on to the damn things and got one of each event CE, including Chocolate Orangette which I was kind of hoping for to stick on Archtoria (because her NP generation isn't stupid enough yet).

BugBoy

I love everything about the MHXA trial quest. More of that universe, please.

also c’mon, just put Agravain in as a servant already

I’d roll for him

Neveron

the Mysterious Heroines are great and I love every single time that they show up

vagrant_winds

I want a Servant Universe Event so badly.

Madican

Jalter's chocolate scene was great, and reading the description of the CE along with this event just confirms that Shakespeare is my favorite, along with Mephistopheles.

Polaritie

This rerun is so much easier to farm with the molds so I can run a team with class advantage without using berserkers.

And it let me use last years CEs for bonuses until I hit all five sweet crystals...

This shop also has a lot of mats I need... but chocolate CEs...

Edit: Void Shiki's is great, and makes me feel bad for not using her more. But NP3 Altera kind of covers that farming niche and I haven't tried to run her for tanky...

Madican

The molds really do make everything so much better. I made a team focusing entirely on getting Caster coins with a +28 modifier and I hauled in over 400 of that type plus the All coins and just regular chocolate. Considering each mold costs 10 chocolate to purchase and there's always a chance to get one as a drop it's going to make cleaning out the entire shop way simpler than I was initially dreading.

Which is good because with 74 chocolates to get and 74 chocolates to give that was a true hell I was about to walk into

Polaritie

Oh god, I'm not crazy enough to try for all the chocolates I could... Godspeed to the whales I guess?

Madican

I don't think I'm going to get all of them either, it'll just make the ones I do go for easier than last year where I was juggling specific time frames for a higher "chance" at certain classes of enemies without any of the really good options now available to mitigate any of the grind. It was a pain in the ass.

Mostly just want to clear the ascension stuff from the shop, aside from pieces/monuments.

Polaritie

Ahaha. Tamamo Lancer's is great too. Not really sure it was safe to drink that.
Edit: Punch Saint's is sweet.

Skeith

My first ten roll and a few summoning tickets got me spooked by Drake, which is a particularly sweet NP2.

Spectrum

Knocking out Sabers first. New ones from last year...

Eli Brave was cute.
Musashi just being Musashi.
Caesar's was surprisingly reasonable.
Gawain's was funny/fangirl bait.
Sumanai is just a dork and not even funny.
D'Eon was cute.
Gilles was also a dork but somehow foreshadows S.Jeanne so that is okay.
Fergus was...the implication.
Bedivere was a cute dork.
Lancelot up to all his old tricks.

I should add that the VA for Saber Gilles that was added in the JP version this year was spectacular.

vagrant_winds

Gil is maximum tsundere.
Kid Gil just wants a swimsuit wonderland.

Arjuna hands you a murder weapon.

Spectrum

New Archers...

S.Altria is food, of course, but lol
Chloe's is dangerous
Arash is a good boy
EMIYA is too much
Orion was surprisingly not terrible and funny
Kogil is the true wingman
David was educational but also...kinda racist? King of the Jews focuses on the commercialization aspects of the holiday and how that's a good thing? Really?
Billy was meh
Touta was a little silly but fine. He needs more characterization time.
Tesla was entirely goofy and ham, as usual
Robin's was fine, more of a backstory piece

Polaritie

Assassin Shiki is tsundere, which is an interesting contrast to Void.

Banana is cute.

Spectrum

New Lancers

Kiyo is fucking lol as always
Jaguar is still the Taiga comedy hour
Jailter...well, you tried.
Tama is as always (and Benienma foreshadowing)
Ana is too cute for words
Cu is a good dog
Proto Cu started off as a derp and then got super serial if you know Proto : (
Diarmuid is a dork
Fionn is an even bigger dork
Hektor is meh
Benkei is meh
Leonidas is meh
Romulus is more tiresome Rome zzzz

vagrant_winds

Just finally grabbed the event CEs. Anyone want me to change any CEs or Servants? Just let me know so I can adjust.

Up Job

Started playing about a week ago and my ID is 428,167,398. Don't got any good servants for support, but I've at least got an event CE on each.

Spectrum

New Riders...

Astolfo was...lol for the Kiyo scene (she's not wrong)
Chibixander was meh
Blackbeard was lol as expected
Ozy was pretty great
Georgios was a good boy
Kintoki was kinda lol

vagrant_winds

What other new players do we have? Can anyone not in the spreadsheet and new repost your friends codes? I wasn't updating it while i was gone for vacation then busy with work afterwards this last month.

Madican

Gave Cu Alter chocolate. Oh crap Prisma Illya is leaking.

Gave Berserkalot chocolate. He can speak! ...Kinda! Also was a nice nudge to his French origin.

Spectrum

New Casters...

Iri was wholesome
S. Marie was adorable as always
Paracelsus was informative for another source of that info but otherwise meh
Shakespeare was surprisingly untroublesome
CasGil was as expected
CasCu was meh
Geronimo was okay
Waver was eh
Babbage was meh
Hans was meh and a terrible gift
Mephistoles was lol?

Madican

Gilgamesh Archer was on point and it amused me with how aloof he was trying to be.

Angra Mainyu was much the same type of reception but dialed way back so that was nice.

Asthariel

I have no romance in my soul, so I only grabbed two valentines and focused on clearing the shop. I used 3-4 golden apples (I dont remember) today, I still have 10 left, and if my calculations are correct, just by using daily AP I should be able to buy from the shop everything except for class monuments and pieces (and maybe even some of them, if I decide to burn some apples after all).

Should I hoard my mana prisms? When will be a next time some really pricey CE like Chaldea Lunchtime becomes available?

Spectrum

New Assassins...

Shuten was Shuten. (The lines aren't the same without the voice)
Shishou was in her kuudere mode =D
Serenity is a woobie
Hundred Personas was lol
Shiki max tsun
Kerry was oof
REGEND was a cool guy
Sanson was okay
Cursed Arm was cute
Phantom was surprisingly okay
Fuuma...tried
Jekyll was wholesome

Butler For Life #1

Why does Serenity have to be so bad

The idea behind her character is good but sweet Christ let her do something other than mumble about her master

Butler For Life #1

Actually I think I know why Serenity irks me so much

She's just Sakura as a Hassan

Sakurassan

BugBoy

Hundred Personas wins Best Valentine since

Some of the personas suggest Saint Quartz, the best gift of all

Forget chocolates, acquire more summon fuel

vagrant_winds

I saw a little comic where Kiritsugu teams up with Hundred Personas and creates his Outer Haven army.

Spectrum

New Berserkers (farming these out sucks)

Banana was bullied
Ecchan was short, but cute
Fluffzerker was a good boy
Bloodaxe was strange
Caligula was meh until surprise Nightingale cameo (although if giving someone a thing of Nero back as a gift doesn't signify the mess that was Septem, I don't know what does)
Spartacus was Spartacus
Darius was eh
Beowulf was cool
Herc was fine
Berserkalot was short but amusing
Lu Bu was cool

And Extra

Jalter was hilarious
Martha was okay

Finally all done with Valentines. I'll slack the rest over the next week on natural AP and farm for the rest next weekend

Madican

For Berserker I'm taking the tack of three in the front are carrying the +2/+3 to all CE's so I can field units that destroy the Berserkers before they kill me, especially that chimera, and back row is three Berserkers with the other CE's.

Spectrum

I stopped bothering with Royal for Berserkers. The possibility of gallstones isn't worth the headache of the aoe killing my DPSers and then having to do the rest of the fight with a very weak low cost backline.

But I'm also not plugsuiting or bringing anyone else who can blow an NP to kill it and various other alterations.

Yeah, it's a lot easier if you have someone like Archuria. NP the big guy, then NP the boss, then NP what's left, then wonder what you're supposed to spend this full NP charge on.

AshtonDragon

I've been clearing the Berserkers by using Chloe to easily one-shot the boar and Nobu to one-shot the entire last wave. Thanks, Raikou, for having both of the traits that Nobu's NP gets boosted damage on.

Granted, I don't have enough gacha CEs to care about loading my team up on berserkers.

Spectrum

I swapped to Royal Casters now that I'm in slack, anyway. Always need Demon Hearts whereas Gallstones are a bit less in demand.
