    NP3 Punch Saint, NP2 Sup Homies w/ DJ Crab, and NP1 Squirtoria. Gotta wait for Martha's solo rate up days later now to try for more.

    I have been waiting for this banner for months. I have no more -needs- until Summer Nero next year.

    Didn't prep for skills too much myself, but my EXP card and medal farming paid off.

    Preparation C- here.

    Debating what to do with the last 20 tickets/100 quartz banked. Go for higher NP on Archuria amd Martha whe n banners rotate, try to collect Mordred, or save for future banners...

    I'm probably not going to have any quartz left after Martha's banner is up. I can't think of any other banners I'd want to roll on until... maybe after Babylon? Unless I feel like doing some rolls on the Halloween events.

    It took 700+ quartz for one copy of Archtoria. It took 200< for NP4 Tamalancer. The Servant I wanted was off lost in the pantry somewhere while the Servant I never intended to go for just kept trying to catch my attention. So, I decided to see just how much she wanted to be in my Chaldea and threw in one final single to Summer 1 banner.

    ...Whelp, guess I really do have to level her up next now that she's my first 5* Servant at NP5.

    Wait wait wait, the JP summer welfare is Swimsuit Berserker Jalter?

    Wow, I was sure they'd put her in the gacha if they ever made her.

    I continue to kind of hate everyone else's SSR rate.

    700 SQ or so across two banners for 2 SSRs...thank god no spooks I guess.

    300/5* is the expected rate, but 1% means massive variance.

    I just realized I messed up basic math this morning too, because I went from 350+ to 100 and thats not 150 quartz.

    It's 300 for the rate up SSR, it's 220ish for ANY SSR.

    Thus far the trend has been to have the summer welfare be a 4* version of a popular 5* Limited servant. So Scathach, Ishtar, now Jeanne Alter.

    I used to think that the Santa trend was to have Alters, but it looks like they're just going for singularity "final bosses" - Saber Alter, Jeanne Alter, Altera (technically the final boss of Septem). The big confirmation will be if Medea (Lily or not) gets a Santa version this year.

    Halloween's welfare servant is just an increasing variety of Lizzes, of course (although presumably we'll get someone new this year), and that pretty much covers the seasonal welfares.

    I legit would pay $$$ for 3rd Anniv Carmilla in some form. As a skin for herself ala Shinjuku, as a new Servant, whatever.

    One pull, 8 tickets, no servants. I think Kiyohime is scaring them away. I will save my last pull and tickets for punch Saint's ratw up.

    *edit*
    Also, damn it, Lion King, my island, what did you do to my island! The Tamamo Statue, Marie Land, Mordred's disturbingly phallic and spikey fortress? You raging, top heavy twit!

    I just realized, the way she's dressed...she's not Summer Jalter or Swimsuit Jalter.

    She's Halter Jalter.

    The reason she's a Berserker is that she asked someone how she looked in her swimsuit and this was their response.

    Let Them Eat Cake (Summer Variety) responded to one of my tickets from the event side quests.

    I knew building Marie Land would pay off somehow.

    Squiroria's 2nd sprite is way better than her 3rd.

    I'm undecided between Martha's 3rd and 2nd. Gauntlets of Hopes and Prayers or spiffy jacket?

    I actually prefer the 1st for Martha. It's the classiest. I'm always biased towards sweet hats, though. Probably part of why I like Marie so much.

    Pulled Marie (NP2 at that) along with a bunch of CEs that should make farming a damn sight easier. Can't put up more quartz for Archtoria though, so RIP.

    I'm just the CE man. Every 10 pull or 2 I get a 5 star craft essence. But 5 star servants? I got 2 and one was from the guarantee Gacha.

    The secret is to try for CE's and the Servants will come. But it has to be genuine desire for the CE's and genuine disinterest in the Servants.

    Then you'll roll a NP2 5* Servant and not get the CE you really wanted.

    That would explain why I've gotten something like 20 Traces since I started playing.

    This is how it's happened to me, yes. I chase, I get wrecked. I don't chase, they force their way in.

    Yeah, part 2 of this event is pretty awful in terms of writing. The piglets aren’t funny, and the whole thing is just weird so far. The one bit I liked is (spoilers up through project 9 or so)
    Altria getting entirely too excited about Edison because she loves lions

    Anyway, I'm more and more convinced of the account seed theory. It's the only thing that explains why some people just consistently get better than average results banner after banner and some people just consistently get below. You shouldn't see multiple stock market picking monkeys stay alive long term...
