    Bring on Shinjuku, I need the big angry dog

    If the Fancy Old Guy wants to come to Chaldea too that would also be nice

    So, are we basically done with reruns of events now? My Second Archive is full, and I'm considering just combining all the random CEs even if they don't get all four stars.

    Here's a rough list of events for the rest of the year, with reruns bolded:
    Shinjuku
    GUDAGUDA Honnouji Rerun
    GUDAGUDA Meiji Isshin
    CCC
    Rashomon Rerun
    Onigashima Rerun

    Agartha
    Summer Rerun
    Learn with Manga
    Summer 2019
    Halloween Rerun
    Shimosa
    Halloween 2019
    Christmas Rerun
    Salem
    Christmas 2019
    Part 2 Prologue

    So there's a bit more original content now, and I suppose the rerun events are the ones with welfare servants (and also the Ibaraki raid).

    Not to mention her animations. She gets an extra hit on every card! More NP and Star Gen!

    Finally sitting down with these challenge quests

    Gil just killed Altera in one hit

  • MadicanMadican No face Registered User regular
    I took Jalter into the Singularity F challenge quest because I'd beaten the others with her and I was going to finish the streak. Got her down to 500K on the final break bar before she finished me off, so I popped those 3 CS and blew her up one last time.

    Nah, I just can't seem to get him below 50k, and I'd really rather not burn seals.

    edit- cheesing with Jeanne did the trick, Herc survived with 1HP and one more charge of guts.

    addendum- Tiamat went much better, only needed 7 turns and none of my team went down. The stun from the plugsuit, Shishou and Enkidu (both level 2 NPs) kept her locked down from turn 4 on.

    Had to triple res seal for Salter grumble, took 27 turns with an Arts team.

    Got screwed with Defender timing as it let her just get straight into an NP that blew up my supports.

    Did a few pulls on the Babylonia banner because I still want NP2 Enkidu

    I'll have to settle for NP2 CasGil

  • vagrant_windsvagrant_winds Overworked Mysterious Eldritch Horror Hunter XX Registered User regular
    Did one each on Camelot and Bablyonia. Only NP2 Bedi and 4* CEs.

    I've only been logging in to organize and deposit all these CEs. I guess I should pick a 1-3 star Servant to max level, since my inventory and archive are both full of gold exp cards. And I've got 100 more in the mail.

    Shinjuku drops in 4 hours

    Get them evil servants ready, they get double Bond from the story quests there

  • MadicanMadican No face Registered User regular
    Shinjuku is now live and we got a bunch of goodies.

    Did a couple singles because new banner why not, and Assassin of Shinjuku pops out. He is easily the coolest person on this banner so I'm pretty happy.

  • SkeithSkeith Registered User regular
    Had 210 quartz and the event tickets to throw at Shinjuku pulls, and ended up with two Avengers and one Assassin of Shinjuku. I should be able to get through the singularity quick enough to have one more thirty pull, so I'll have one more crack at that Archer... after that I'm saving for Gozen.

    Emyia Alter's skin is lighter than normal Emiya's.
    His huge ass ridiculous lips are unchanged.
    He's refered to as looking like a 'dealer' in the story.

    I am more confused and mistified at their choice of what to change more than anything. I would have thought they would have edited the lips? Not sure what they were going for here. It's like they 'fixed' the part of his design that wasn't the problem but left all the actual problems.

    Again, not upset, just confused.

    I've already got all the servants on this banner on my other account, but... Shinjuku is going to make it very difficult to resist rolling for Archer. He's just so great.

    Cherish his NP lines before you learn his true name, because it'll never be the same afterward (until a future update adds the ability to "reset" the Epic of Remnant servants so that they use all of their initial lines).

    Most of the soundtracks in My Room cost pieces and monuments to unlock, so that's nice

  • NeveronNeveron HellValleySkyTree SwedenRegistered User regular
    It also gives an actual use for those excess pieces and monuments, which is nice. I literally just got done with final ascending every single Servant I own today, so they're not exactly doing much else for me right now.

    It's also really obvious when they started putting money into the Singularities when you look at it this way. Fuyuki to Okeanos literally just have a unique map theme, London gets the Solomon fight track but nothing beyond that, and then suddenly you have E Pluribus Unum with five tracks, Camelot with nine, Babylonia with eight, Solomon with 16 (one for each pillar, WTF, I didn't even realize that)...

    Also, of course, GUDAGUDA Honnoji's one track went on to be basically the default event battle theme, I think?

  • vagrant_windsvagrant_winds Overworked Mysterious Eldritch Horror Hunter XX Registered User regular
    The Pillar themes also play when you fight them in the individual singularities. I guess they put them all under Solomon for convince.

    On the new story, I kinda wish I didn't know who these servants were yet and had to guess and figure it out, just like when I read the VN for the first time. NA Clavoriance has some downsides. At least I've kept myself mostly unspoiled on actual story scenes.

    Archer is pretty Dandy. Raita knows how to make unique designs.

    I had enough quartz saved up for a 10 roll and I figured why not, let's add some cool stuff to my roster.

    Nothing. Boo!

    Well, I've got 5 tickets to spare, why not?

    Freelancer. Yeah, I'll keep going.
    Assassin of Shinjuku! Okay, keep pulling while I'm hot!
    Archer of Shinjuku! Nowhere to go but up!
    Kiyohime. You know what? I'm going to save that last ticket for later.

    And with a second archive stuffed full of archer embers, I've already got him leveled up to 70, Just need to grind the daily quest today for more assassin XP cards, and we'll see how high he can go too.

  • AstharielAsthariel The Book Eater Registered User regular
    i really like the design of Archer of Shinjuku, but considering that he is apparently pretty weak in comparison to other SSR Archers, and the fact that Im saving for GUDAGUDA banner (where I hope to get Okita and EMIYA, not to mention welfare Nobu), sadly I have to stop myself from rolling anything here. That said, I would be pretty happy if I will somehow get him during future GSSR banners.

    At the time GUDAGUDA starts, I should have at least 240 SQ and 28 tickets, which apparently means I have maybe 65 % of rolling SSR. If XCOM taught me anything, those are not good odds...

    66%, actually (Unless SSR servant isn't 1% anymore). Your expected value is a hair over 1 though, at least.

    With the bonus bond points for evil servants, I got Angra to Bond 10. All ready for his interlude.

    Now I can remove him from my teams. I've taken him to every battle except for challenge quests for months.

  • NeveronNeveron HellValleySkyTree SwedenRegistered User regular
    To be fair, he gives 4* quartz (2/level) while also having 2* cost. That's a hard deal to beat.

    It would be nice if he was actually useful for anything else, but I get why he isn't.

  • AshtonDragonAshtonDragon AKA The Nix Registered User regular
    Shinjuku is absolutely living up to hype and my memory. I just love these idiots so, so much.

    Also, shoutouts to Gramps, instakilling Rider of Shinjuku. With a regular attack.

    What the actual fuck is this Goetia fight? He just wipes half your party in the first turn, takes no damage from NPs, and has 1.5 million hit points. What?

    You have to survive first turn, (There are assorted strategies to accomplish this like having Guts on everyone or buff seal, NP seal, skill seal etc ) and then wait out his anti-NP buff if you want to damage him with NPs.
