    She's also very good in hard enemy Servant challenge fights.

    The Tamamo/Jeanne Zombie Stall team is capable of beating almost every fight in the game... if you're willing to spend hundreds of turns chipping away with little-to-no damage.

    She doesn't get really strong until her NP interlude removes the self-stun effect, although that's probably scheduled for May.

    Got my Book to 80, no leveled skills though. So I have a weakly skilled Helena, Book, and Medea Lily ready for the event. And 200 Archer EXP + Event EXP for Kuro.

    I might do a token roll for Illya for hopes of a Happy Emiya Family. :(

    Who are the bonus servants this time around? It's starting to sound like I might actually have a useful support team... if I could get them leveled. :bigfrown:

    +100% Damage for Mash, Chloe/Kuro (the welfare), and Illya (event Gacha 5*)
    +50% Damage for Medb, Medea Lily, Helena, and Nursery Rhyme.

    Then there's +50% Damage CEs that also have either a Buster up or an Arts up that only buff Female servants.

    That lineup makes sense, given the theme. Don't have Lily, but since both Mash and Nursery Rhyme are maxed out, better focus on Medb and Helena.

    I almost have Martha finished up, but I am suddenly broke. Just 10 mil left. Can't even max one skill now. Huh. The cost to level gets nuts, and I wasn't expecting a cost for each grail, too.

    Yeah, leveling skills is the number 1 QP sink by miles.

    Maxing Waver's last skill nearly bankrupted me. I did screw up and burn too many feathers on it too and now I can't ascend Tamamo until the event shop comes around probably.

    If you need feathers, the upcoming Prisma event will have a node that has a 90% chance to drop feathers, going off the infographic I saw on Reddit.

    Yeah, I'll be hitting it up. I just wanted to get summer tamamo up so I don't have to rely on friends list to deal with archers.

    I decided to just grind the 4 out, so I’ve got my first 10/10/10

    And I’ve still got a bit of QP left!

    @Tcheldor I see your lvl90 Grail'd Summer Anne. You should have showed that off. I can see myself using them a lot for saber nodes.

    It explains why you were sad at my earlier Chloe comment but...

    Anne is the Buster/Crit meta. Pair her with Nightengale or wait for Merlin and see those low HP Buster NPs. :biggrin:

    Went from “Yup, I have a lot of Rider gems” to “Wow, I have no rider gems!” in a 45 second burst of getting Ozymandias and Summer Mordred partially skilled up

    It'll definitely help, but F/0 was special with just how much QP I was able to amass, and I didn't go all out on it.

    Yeah, I am hovering just above 0QP and grinding what I need for ascensions and skills.

    I can't to my high level skill upgrades until we get a massive QP infusion.

    There's Ishtar for free next year at least, and then Fran for Saber and the Best Summer Servant for Berserker

    (Medb, Ishtar, Jalter are my intended picks. Nero can also sub in for Marie also but I legitimately am unsure I'll be able to roll her with how hard Bride and normal have evaded me so far.)

    I wish I could get regular Berserker Fran, but when I tried-in the very first instance of me saving up more than 3 quartz at a time-Siegfried came home instead.

    Nearly quit the game right there!

    Dare I ask how many pulls and cash it took to get there.

    Either you guys have insane luck, or are like stocking up once a year with the freebies, or I'm totally underestimating how much quartz this game throws around.

    The game isn't terrible about free quartz and tickets, even though the rates are dogshit

    I ended up with every summer servant except Marie this time, but I think I made it way outside of statistical norms this time around

    I felt the urge that comes every once in a while. So I twirled over to Story banner, tossed in a ticket, and rainbow sparks? Gold Berserker?! Could this be...Cu Alter?!

    Nope, Vlad NP2. I'll take it!

    Feels good to finally be able to use these grails. I keep a constant projection out to JP for who I want so I knew I would be sitting for awhile ever since the start of the game.

    My updated plans:
    5 Complete:
    Assassin Shiki
    Assassin Scathach
    Ruler Martha
    Caster Marie
    Lancer Kiyo

    2 Waifu:
    Tomoe
    Danzou (possible hard decision coming soon here as she's admittedly a little redundant)

    3 Class Coverage:
    BB
    Mecha Eli
    Gorgon

    4 Theme:
    Rider Ishtar
    Berserker Jalter
    Foreigner MHX (and class coverage)
    Saber Medb

    Outside Looking In:
    Chloe
    Suzuka
    Asagami
    As can be seen, current JP summer REALLY threw me for a loop in a good/bad way, so I ended up moving some plans around...

    I’d like to be able to complete Nero Squad too, but we’ll see how lucky I get next summer. It’s going to hurt me not to pull for that year’s anniversary servant, but that’s how it goes.

    Tried to take a screenshot and it somehow failed. But, got Martha up to 10/10/10 and installed her on my Support page. Also went through and swapped around everyone's sprites and stuff, just for fun.

    Now I guess I farm for QP endlessly, since I've got like 100k after that.

    I don't know why I'm grinding embers just to take a 4* Ruler to the max, but I am. Oh wait, I remember, it's because it's the NP that's the most fun to watch in the entire game.
