I ain't got any 4/5 star lancers, casters, or avengers, so any recommendations on who to pick?
Lancers Lalter is easier plug and play with a very strong Buster AoE NP with two additional effects and a strong skill-focused skillset. Li Shuwen is a single targe Arts/crit servant who is for Arts-looping with arts/crit supports and does unavoidable damage (pierces invincibility, doge, and all defense buffs). Of the two, LAlter is easier plug and play but both are really good.
Casters Helena is a strong budget-Waver. Casgil is one of the best Arts/Crit support casters in the game. Nitocris is mostly only for farming, but is a super super super good at being a farmer. Even the other three pickable casters have their appeal. You can't go wrong here.
Avengers Gorgon is a Buster/Crit Avenger with an AoE NP. Her only weakness is basically needing a Star Absorb CE until a much later Rank Up Quest. And the fact that you're not often fighting groups of Rulers (though sometimes you fight them in a party with other characters). Hessian Lobo is a Quick/Crit Avenger with a Single-Target NP and Buff Removal. He'll be much stronger once Skadi comes out. Until then he's good, but lacks strong support.
Both have two Arts cards. Gorgon has better NP gain off her Arts cards. Lobo has better NP gain off of everything else.
I know this doesn't narrow it down much but there's not a lot of bad picks.
Being out of the country (I'll do an F/GO Arcade post later when I have time) has meant I have not done any Nerofest, which is kind of ok since there's not much to be had aside from skill mats and a billion embers, but also means I miss out on Nero's unique costume.
Course, I don't even have Nero so it's kind of moot.
But I could grab her from the upcoming 4* thing. I do not need a Saber but it's either her or Artoria Alter.
I wonder if Kotarou, Tomoe, and Amakusa are gonna get shown in any flashbacks in the anime since they all died off-screen before we get there in the game.
Also, is everyone prepared for the Fate/Granblue/Azure Lane anime wars? All have a show this upcoming season.
Remember, if you want one of these otherwise then you'll need to wait for their rate-up (or roll on the story banner, you absolute madman). Luckily singularity banners are pretty common.

Definitely grabbing myself an avenger. Still can't decide which one, but that means I'll have every class covered until foreigners come out.
I'm not really sure what to pick. Do I go for Li Shuwen to actually have a ST Lancer who isn't Cu Chulainn? CasGil for the arts crit? Nero to finish off my list of launch 4*s?
Or do I just pick Herc to get him to NP5 and call it a day? Or do the same for Stheno?
Merlin's gonna be the solo rateup for a full week until the banner starts rotating. Gonna have to wait a week till I get to try and fail at LArtoria and LAlter again. Might wait to spend my ticket and see if I get lucky there.
(I'm not going to get lucky.)
I guess thats the end of Nerofest for me, 33 boxes opened, 60 more will be opened next week. I finished all challenge quests from Revival, but only 3 new ones - without Waver and Merlin of my own I just couldn't do much. Also, gimmicks were just irritating me, and I didn't want to waste even more time for 4 tickets and 2 lores.
And tommorow is a big day, as it's Merlin, Salter and Lalter banner. My warchest is ready....
I am now completely out of quartz, experience cards, and caster skill gems, but I did manage to get Merlin and another copy of Lobo. Is this karma for the hundreds of quartz I spent last christmas?
Could be. I pulled Lalter from this banner, so I'll be grabbing Nito with the guaranteed ticket. Won't be able to throw more quartz at Merlin until the 20th, but it's just as well.
I slacked a bit these past couple of days and didn't quite hit my 10 daily box quota, but after all's said and done it looks like I'll be opening about halfway through Box 143.
As a tradeoff I passed up around six tickets but to me those materials are well worth it. I go hard on the lottos so I can relax the rest of the time and the next one isn't until Christmas.
I basically had 3T 5CFM teams set up a week in advance for all three rounds, so it didn't take nearly as much effort as you might think. If I'd gone super hard I could have cleared 300 easy. Especially with the Surfing Mordred comp in Round 3

I thought I was half assing it with only ten lottos done. Just wanted the golden fous and done.
I tried to fool my desire sensor by focusing on getting Saber Alter (so I would get Merlin accidentally while failing to get her).
In the end I spent 107 tickets and 390 SQ, which got me:
3x Ideal Holy King
2x Origin Bullet
1x Victor of the Moon
1x Devilish Bodhisattva
1x Before Awakening
1x Kaleidoscope (!) (it's my first one)
3x Imaginary Element (I just need one more to MLB it)
2x Saber Alter
1x Ibaraki (NP2)
1x Merlin (! ! !)
aaaaaaaand
5x Lancer Altria Alter
Guess desire sensor managed to play a joke on me anyway!
Please, more jokes like that.

Am I blind? I received the SR ticket from the box and now I don't know where to use it?
EDIT: completely missed on the news page that you can't exchange it until 9-15

Lol, I was throwing the summon tickets they put up in Da Vinci's store at the Merlin banner and got Lalter so now I gotta figure out another SR to use my ticket on
Im really happy that I've got Lancer Artoria during my first GSSR in January, she was irreplacable during my Nerofest farming.
And now, with all the spoils that came out of it, I can finally 10/10/10 her. Im already giving her Golden Fous, I wonder if I should grail her at some point. I did not use any of collected Grails yet...
Didn't have any quartz left after rolling for Bryn, but I spent the five tickets in hopes of getting an Alter. Immediately got spooked by Fionn, and then got... Merlin.
Sure, okay.

I would have laughed so hard if I got Merlin for a third time, considering how largely useless NP levels are for him
I am so happy that the 2x super/great chance was immediately after Nerofest this year. I don't have to do any mailbox management, just stuff 250 gold in the Second Archive then Accept All as I force feed embers into everyone

I think, with a little rate up luck, by the end of the week every servant will be max level.
We're always QP Poor. Grinding out some bones to ascend one more of my gold servants and then it'll be the QP mines for me. I wanna max Sherlock and Jeanne's skills and then build a stockpile.
Nerofest was good to me. My goal was Shop Clear + 60 boxes. I hit Shop Clear + 85 boxes in the end. And I still don't have enough skill gems for some classes. At this point though I've max leveled everyone I'm not material blocked on Bones, Seeds, and Crystals. I also need at least 100 more damn Shells for skills for some key servants now.
Hopefully everyone who wanted Brynhildr got her, as she's super good as that was the 2nd of the only 3 rate ups she's ever had in the game so far and your next chance isn't until next year.

Helena has a party NP gauge up, which is always nice. Also an AoE NP, if you don't even have Halloween Lis.
Also your signature is very sad now @Butler For Life #1.
Course, I don't even have Nero so it's kind of moot.
But I could grab her from the upcoming 4* thing. I do not need a Saber but it's either her or Artoria Alter.

Oh I guess it's a hosting issue?
...I set this signature years ago. Not sure if I still have the file, even. Hm.

Somewhat considering taking Saber Alter just because I like her and oddly don't have her on either account.
Or do I just pick Herc to get him to NP5 and call it a day? Or do the same for Stheno?

I will have the strongest MHX out there. Roar. Bring me a Skadi.

Now the tough decisions
I have every 4* except... Salter, Nero, Gawain, Suzuka, Demiya, Nursery Rhyme, Assassin of the Nightless City, and Berserker of El Dorado
So some pretty cool options, not a lot of actual strong options mechanically
I could always just NP level someone also
Sure, okay.
