    They put that in fast. Didn't JP have a bit of a gap where they couldn't get those shells after summer?

    Lancelot's sprite definitely looks better with the cape

    Without it he ends up looking kind of weird and gangly

    Rider daily is very nice on 1/2 AP. Farming up those blue/red gems with occasional fangs. Spent yesterday doing the dragon island in Okeanos instead of Berserker daily because I have so many gems of that class that it's not necessary. One more fang and I think I ought to be able to take Archtoria's 1 to max rank? Maybe?

    I'm finally getting around to working on Martha. She's not even fully ascended yet, but I'll be taking her to 90 eventually. Today I took her skills to 10/6/6, and I'll probably take them all to 10 as soon as I get the few gems that I'm missing.

    She also requires being ascended a couple times for quests and has a damage bonus inside the event itself.

    She's Emiya+++, but Single Target NP.

    I've decided to make an effort to max ascend all of my gold servants

    It's gonna take a while

    Kinda wish I had started earlier

    Eh, some of them aren't very good at their jobs and you can econ if you want. You still have to raise skills to get them useful, too...

    I've gotten plenty of use out of a lot of different servants on my JP account with their skills no higher than 4. Personally, I think it's worth it to level all gold servants to max, with a few minor exceptions (which would still be worth it if they are in a class you are weak on, or if you like the character).

  • vagrant_windsvagrant_winds Overworked Mysterious Eldritch Horror Hunter XX Registered User regular
    There's no way in hell I can level all my Gold Servants to max. I am not made of materials and QP.

    My gold is everyone Ascension 1 and Bond 5. Then 5* to max. Then select good 4* and under to max (a sizable number, but not even close to all). Maybe one day I'll get all my 4*s maxed, but I don't see it for a long time.

    I've got all my gold servants at max level (working on some recent additions, but they'll eventually get there), with the exception of Irisveil because I can't imagine ever using her (especially given that I have Medea Lily). All of my servants are at bond 5 (again, working on newcomers), with everyone having at least 1 ascension, and more if necessary for the sake of interludes (like Jekyll, for example).

    I never bothered with anything close to that on my JP account, but being able to do all the interludes I can is the top priority for me in the english version.

    So far I have 4 maxed 3*s (Ceasar, David. Boudica, and Media). 2 maxed 2*s (Georgious & Hans), and 3 maxed 1*s (Arash, Mozart, & Regend). There's some others I'm slowly working on. Euryale, Paracelsus, and Asterios are almost there.

    Cu's a secret 5* that's also maxed.

    The only silver/bronze servants that I've leveled to max on my NA account are Arash, Babbage, Proto Cu, Fergus, Medea, and Ushi. I feel kinda bad about leaving out a bunch of others (especially Robin Hood, obviously), but I'm just trying to avoid duplication with my JP account.

    Oh, I know

    And I don't actually intend to use most of them

    I just feel guilty every time I look at them

    I'm only raising the 1-3 Stars I actually use or will use, even if just backline.

    George and Boudica have gotten a lot of use from me. Mozart just got up so I'll probably start using him more, after/if I level his skills. Limited on Caster gems though, with higher priorities.

    Since I got Caster Marie I'm gonna work on her instead over him, probably. With Mozart and Boudica continuing to fill the 'budget support' role.

    I can't see any support working with Saber Lancelot (Support sadly) and Li Shuwen (if I had more Grails this guy would get 2 easily) more than Caster Marie. Just not sure who the best 3rd for them is between Archer Artoria, Waver, and Tamamo (Caster).

    Mehhhh. I need a saber and a caster who don't suck.

    More like if I hadn't spent 4 Grails on Cu and didn't have 3 single target lvl90 Lancers already, Li would be Grailed already. Dude is ridiculously good, Arts/Crit, and I have him at NP4.

    Shishou is probably my least used leveled Lancer. I keep using Bryn (hits almost as hard, better crit support), Cu (immortal), and Li (unavoidable damage and crits) way more often.

    And I have none of the AoE ones, unless you count Liz (I don't).

    Don't feel the need to use Chloe if you're already good on archers or plain don't like her. It's just awkward that there are some missions to ascend her, which is a bit wasteful if you don't wind up taking her to max.

    It's fine! Archer Anne is a gimicky, but strong, Buster Archer. Kuro is an Arts archer.

    Anne will burst harder. Kuro will get multiple NPs off of lesser value.

    I haaaaaaaate that I'm going to have to spend 100ish gold embers on Chloe, who I do not like

    Worth it for the lore, I guess.

  • ph blakeph blake Registered User regular
    Oh wait, I haven't bought embers from the shop this month.

    Cool, one super succ later and he's at 100, max fou'd, NP5, and, uh, 4/10/4 skills...

    Damn it I'm out of red archer gems. No, I don't know why I focused on his (currently) worst skill first. Well, at least it's ready for his next strengthening.

    I haven't ascended many of the welfares (just Nobu and Shiki), but I'm definitely going to max level Summer Sca

    She's my only gold AoE Assassin, and her Noble Phantasm animation is so cool

    Much cooler than regular Sca's, I think

  • vagrant_windsvagrant_winds Overworked Mysterious Eldritch Horror Hunter XX Registered User regular
    At least I was productive with Rider day.

    My Ozy will be 6/10/6 as soon as I have the EXP and QP to take him to 90... Which might be a bit. The other two skills hit the Chain Wall.

    Thankfully the Summer farm nodes dropped enough chains for him to at least max his best skill

    WARNING!

    If anyone was planning on buying any Fate/Grand Order Duel... Don't. Not unless you just want to buy packs for the figures.

    The "English" release of the card/board game is 100% untranslated and just all in Japanese. There's English how to play the 'simplified version only' rules on the official site, but no translations for all the Japanese status and skill cards or how to play the actual game.

    So yeah, only buy if you want to IRL Gacha the figures. Buying to actually play the game in English is not actually supported. Calling it an English release is a scam.

    What The Fuck Aniplex?

    My guess is that they (probably correctly) assumed the vast majority of buyers only wanted the figures and weren't interested in playing the game, and so decided not to pay for a translation.

    But in that case, just say you imported the figures. Don't call it an official English release.

    The secret here is to just not pull many 4/5 stars. I think I only have like two left to max ascend, not counting Stheno.

    Of course, lots of people in this thread don't have this...advantage...
