    Looks like Rashomon rerun in a few days, and then after that we should get Onigashima rerun

    Good news for anyone who wasn't around or missed it the first time around, one of the best 4* servants in the game for free

    Yep, and the rerun for KnK is next year probably... which is the other one. But don't miss Rider Kintoki if you don't have him.

    tfw your luck is so good that you can just hope and expect SSRs off only 1 10 roll

    I agreed with this. But got Okita in one roll at the start of the event and the monk in one roll today. So I dunno.

    And now whoever the Berserker in one, when I just wanted CEs. As long as I don't want the 5 stars, they all show up. Of course the second I save up some quartz or actually want a Servant this 'luck' will disappear...
    Humblebragging is against the Shinsengumi code

    Threw a ticket at Nero because why not and got Gawain. I've grown too powerful. I can't be stopped.

    Or I'll just get nothing at all during summer or whatever else I actually save for.

    I used like 90 SQ during the last event to try to get some Alter Egos for extra coverage. Nothing.

    Tossed one ticket at the banner today. And now I have Waver.

    I can just put the friend support in slot 6 and never even look at what I'm picking from now on, huh?

    The only thing better than Waver is Merlin and Waver. Or Merlin and Merlin.

    Yeah it's just going to be Jeanne/Merlin/Waver for 95% of all difficult content now, I suppose.

    And when Merlin is max bond soon enough I can rotate the new Caster into my farming teams.

    I don't know why you'd inflict that on yourself, but I like finishing fights in fewer than two hundred turns

  • Butler For Life #1Butler For Life #1 Twinning is WinningRegistered User regular
    Jalter, not Jeanne, I think

    Otherwise yeah, that would be brutal

  • AshtonDragonAshtonDragon AKA The Nix Registered User regular
    I think my choice for golden fous is between Babbage, Arash, and First Hassan. Arash certainly gets the most use out of the three (and out of every other servant), but he really only wants the attack ones, and I'd like to eventually fully max someone. Babbage is the unique option, and I actually do get some use out of the guy, but I also like the idea of maxing gramps and eventually rolling for NP upgrades for the guy. Decisions, decisions...

    This isn't as easy a choice as it was the first time around. Robin Hood was a no-brainer.

    I'm split between MHX, Nero, and Martha for my first set.

    But I'm also considering saving for MHXX or Illya.

    There's putting them on your best, or putting them on your favorite.

    Also, they might as well go on a lvl100 Servant.

    I wasn't really planning on making any level 100 servants on this account, but maybe I'll pull the trigger for whoever I'm using gold fous on.

    My Nightengale just hit 99 and is about to hit 100

    So I'll have to choose between her and my level 100 david

    I'm perpetually tempted to grail Gilgamesh

    Honestly I should at least grail my Lancelot to 90

    I think I'll probably just golden Fou my Herc? He's NP3 Bond 10, so the extra damage would be nice for those harder fights.

    Or I stick it on Gilgamesh because he's just generally useful, or Asterios because he's my OG Lv.90 fluffy boy, or... yeah, it's tough.

    Rashomon is Shuten. Raikou will return with Onigashima, which should be the event after Rashomon.

    And do roll for her, because she's great

  • IronKnuckle's GhostIronKnuckle's Ghost Registered User regular
    Ah, well then. I've rolled for her in the past. Maybe this time will work?

  • SpectrumSpectrum Archer of Inferno Chaldea Rec RoomRegistered User regular
    On my event page
    Waver has Carp
    Jack has Shana-oh

    But since this is still farm time
    Drake has Mona Lisa
    and S.Marie in All has Personal Lesson

  • AshtonDragonAshtonDragon AKA The Nix Registered User regular
    I'm so close to being able to reliably clear the 3m Ibaraki and hands in one turn. I'm a little disappointed! I had such confidence!

    I suspect I'll be able to do it when I get one more carp and can max the second copy, at least. Or if I bought enough copies of the Ushi CE to max a second copy, but I'm not gonna do that.

  • NeveronNeveron HellValleySkyTree SwedenRegistered User regular
    I can't do it in one turn yet for whatever reason (I seem to remember being able to last year?), but boy Merlin sure makes Gilgamesh just melt through the 6m Ibaraki, huh. I can two-turn her if I luck into getting an NPBB combo off, but that's as close as it gets.

    I'm still not entirely sure what backline support to swap in for max damage, though: right now I'm going with Mozart for those sweet 50 stars, but maybe I'd be better served by Shakespeare, Andersen, or Helena? And is it worth swapping out an event CE for something else, like a black grail or ox-king or... whatever?


    In any case, it's a far cry from struggling to survive fifteen turns in the beginning of the event last year. Grabbing a support Merlin for that AoE invincibility changes everything.

  • MadicanMadican No face Registered User regular
    It feels so good to be able to bully the banana this time. I can blow up 3BP in three turns, saving my rice balls for Heart day though.

    My setup is:
    MC Plugsuit
    1. Arash with gacha CE
    2. Jalter with MLB Tales
    3. Support Waver with MLB Carp
    4. Merlin with MLB Carp
    5. Waver with MLB Carp
    6. Asterios with gacha CE

    Face card first round, stun banana, buff with Support Waver, swap to my Waver and buff, Arash boom, buff Jalter with Merlin, annihilate banana

    Ah, so that's the recipe for it. Yeah, stealing that. No Merlin though, so I'm using Bride atm, which means I should probably use Archuria as damage and just loop her once for the kill.

    I've just been blowing up 2bp in one turn with AUO instead

    I don't have CEs yet though really because I totally skipped this event the first time

  • PolaritiePolaritie Sleepy Registered User regular
    Yeah, I don't have Gil, so I can't abuse Enuma Elish on this. I'm doing double Waver atm for the full 100% battery.

    I heard punch saint doesnt get to anti-demon Ibaraki or something too, which is no fun - She has enough of a battery to run Merlin.

    I'm going to throw exp cards at Rama, that should make it possible for me to bully the banana without much issue. I can nail her in one shot (1mil) with Shishou's NP and a limit broken Tales already though.

    Martha's anti demon buff doesn't count the boss? That would suck. I'm using her and support Casters. Buster cards for the hands, NP the boss. Five turns seems fine.

    Sort of. There are two different flags.
    Demonic
    Demon

    Martha's buff is Anti-Demon. Ibaraki-Doji is Demonic. The Hands are Demon. So the Martha buff works on the hands, but not Ibaraki herself. My guess is that in the original Japanese the flags were much more specific.

    The way the wiki puts it, there's Demon(悪魔) and Demonic(魔性). The first is akuma, which I'm pretty sure is used to refer to Christian demons and devils etc., while the latter is... I don't know Japanese, but futzing around with Google Translate I think it refers to having a devilish character to you? Or, well, a ma-nature of sorts. Demonic looks like a decent translation.

    The former trait covers two enemies: demons and gazers. The latter is much broader, including skeletons, werebeasts, goblins, sea demons, lamia, ghosts, boars, crabs, efreet, bicorns, all the Demon-trait enemies, soul eaters, all the Onigashima oni, Ibaraki's hands, Ushi Gozen and Beast III/R... and it actually includes Servants, too, although currently the list is literally just Shuten and Ibaraki. Y'know, the oni. (The next addition is, surprise surprise, another oni.)

    Looking at cirnopedia I guess "demon" might also cover hands, doors and Demon God Pillars, but it's still a very limited trait. Fortunately, though, the ones that target it don't just target it - Martha also hits the undead, for instance, which adds a bunch.


    Actually, funnily enough, Martha is the only character who cares about the distinction. Everyone else - Rama, Touta, Raiko, four future JP servants - just cares about the broader Demonic group. Chalk it up to her being Christian, I guess.
