I was weak and spent a bunch for Da Vinci Rider. I got her, so that'll be fun when we get Castoria I guess.
Anyway, yearly reminder to PUT YOUR PORTRAIT CES ON SUPPORT FOR THE NEXT WEEK OR TWO. It makes CE hunters very happy.
-
Did 376-ish runs of Barbatos. I have much QP now!
Anyway, for Mnemosyne, I decided to try and see how much I could stall her before she NP'd with Waver/Tamamo/Reines, the answer was 20 turns and 2 HP bars. Did the last bar by nuking with Gray's NP.
Spoiler
Either way, Gray's now lv 100. Shiny new support list officially ready.

I saved like, almost 500 rolls for Reines.
...I needed 20.
I kept going until I got MLB Whydunit though (Waver Waver Wave--) so in the end I spent ~470 quartz.
I also got NP3 Astrea, plus a Liz (now NP2), a Helena (now NP5, also my first np5 gacha gold on NA), an Anne and Mary (now NP3), and a Nezha (first copy)
Well, I'll consider that a win against the gacha.
I also got a second Waver off a ticket a few days ago, so that's neat.
-
I started English at its launch, but didn't play very much before the first CBC, when I rolled Waver. After that I got much more into the game.
It's kinda crazy how weird the entry curve is in this game. Getting things raised early is hard. But after a while of playing you have lots of excess. I'm ready to lv 100 and 10/10/10 both Reines and Gray as soon as I get them, which would sound insane to a newer player struggling to get mats and EXP.
My first rerun was the Halloween 1 rerun. It was neat, I guess.

I think that's part of the charm. ) : They're teens. What's wrong with it.
I mean yeah, but considering the end of the last book was Voldemort being back being accepted by the public at large, teen romance drama feels like a bit of a distraction. It's also just... not great teen romance drama either. At least that's what I remember thinking of it.
Whenever I reread HBP I'm mostly there for the Voldemort stuff.

As far as the movies go, my favorite and my least favorite are both PoA. I think the PoA movie did a very good job taking advantage of its medium to portray the world, there's lots of little things happening in the background that make it feel super alive, and in that sense it's my favorite of the movies. But it also kinda epically failed as an adaptation of the PoA book so it ends up as my least favorite in that regard.
HBP kinda... exists? I guess? Tbh I wasn't super impressed with either the book or the movie. The book involved an awful lot of teen romance drama, which kinda bogged down the actual plot a bit. But the movie also cut out most of the Voldemort backstory aside from the Slughorn thing so it's like, how does Harry know what he's supposed to look for for the Horcruxes?
Dumbledore dying was pretty well done though
-
Rin and Illya are more or less tied for best in SN for me.
I like Saber enough I guess
I do not like Sakura at all. And that's putting it mildly.
For the franchise as a whole my favorite female character is a toss up between Tine Chelk and Gray.

I got some free time today so I started the event, and got to where you get new Mystic Code skills. Those new skills are pretty good (mostly the Star bomb) but I feel I'm going to shoot myself in the foot if I keep using them for some reason.
I think this is the improved version of Ooku? It still feels like Unlimited Loading Works, even if the loading per node isn't super long. I do like that the nodes cost almost no AP, but you really need at least a couple of hours to deplete your AP bar
make it 3 hours with all the reading. Thank goodness I'll be totally free next week so I can binge the event.Late but don't worry about the bar. You can un and refill it as much as you like at the end of the event. Just sit back and enjoy the broken MC skills.
Having played Unlimited Loading Works this is better than the first run on JP, but it doesn't feel as smooth as the second run for some reason. IDK. It's definitely closer to run 2 than run 1 though. There was a patch to help fix the loading that came halfway through the first run (at which point I was already done with the event) so it's probably similar to the post patch version of that.

On the inverse, Fates has the lowest HP average in the series, which is pretty surprising, as Fateswakening is the go to example of stat inflation in my mind.
Tbh, this doesn't seem very surprising at all. Even a little bit of playing Fates and you'll notice that your HP stats seem to be trash near universally. When I played CQ hard I'm pretty sure only a couple of my units even broke 40. Units just can't take very many hits there.

So apparently there exists 3 wave farming nodes where the third wave can have 7 mooks in it. I wonder why I didn't remember that from the last time I did SE.RA.PH.
Is it because of the spawn bonus? IIRC, the type 1 spawn bonus (from the Hans CE) and the Shapeshifter and Eater bonuses (from the Rin and Rani and Gil CEs, respectively) are rolled separately, so the same Type 1 enemy can be duplicated by both CEs at the same time (thereby turning one enemy into three enemies).

CE drops have my great annoyance RN. This was my first drop this event. Took many apples.

I got Old Li but I don’t have Shikibu, I’m gonna put Old Li’s Valentine CE on my Assassin Support. Also, if it is like Semiramis’ last year, Shikibu’s Valentine CE will only be available after the final story chapter of the event.
Thanks! I got it.
I figured as much but it's still worth knowing if anyone here has her so I can quickly grab it once it's released.
-
Does anyone here have Assassin Li and/or Shikibu? I still need their Vday CEs in my SOL.
-
As with the past few years I'm once again voting for Wolt every day. My boy will get his OG version someday! i hope...
Interim results with Gatekeeper is honestly hilarious but it's not gonna change anything for me. I am pretty curious what IS will do if he actually wins though, far more than Chrom or Marth who can just get like, protagonisty things.

Yeah the 'you have to spend at least 4 days on this no matter what' mechanic is pretty annoying. (Also I wish it's more obvious which buildings unlocked more free quests, I think it's always the bottom 3, but you'd have to check on a wiki or something to learn that.)
On the plus side, it does also mean you get the best nodes like 3 days in rather than them being time locked, so that's nice. The NY2020 banners dropping the same CEs as the event is also pretty neat.
Edit: CQ was fun, in retrospect I should've brought some AoE servants, or at least more Buster Cards (Buster Lead is the same modifier as Card Type Mod when it comes to damage).
I knew it was Beni going in so it wasn't exactly a blind fight (meaning I brought Archer Artoria), but I didn't know that the monkeys would buff Benievery turn for free. The monkey buffs really made me regret focusing one monkey down at a time. RNG abuse let me keep Artoria alive until the end, though, and once it got down to Artoria only the fight was more or less unlosable thanks to her massive sustain and the fact that Beni isn't going to get another NP off between Artoria's massive damage & her NP's NP drain.
If I had to do it over I think I'd run Eresh and 1 or 2 Merlins in the front to clear the monkeys out slowly so all 3 die at the same time (2 Merlins + Eresh means the frontline only starts dying when Beni comes in, between the two invuls, Eresh's defense buff, and all the AoE heals from Merlin & Eresh), with the back line being Artoria & Artoria's supports.
Late since I had no PC access for the last while
On the nodes that unlock free quests, it said "tasks added" in the name, since that's what the event called it's free quests. I think the exception was the hot spring since you had to do that immortal Musashi mission first.

I'd trade you my +5 SR!Wolt if I could.
Not pulling on this banner but they did Aureola's animation justice.
I actually have a +10 Summer Wolt, lol. I just want to be able to max out OG too.
-
No Wolt again huh... At least I have the summer one...
I'm lowkey kinda disappointed in Merlinus. Merlinus in FE6/7 had a fairly unique function, but none of what made FE6/7 Merlinus what he was is really here. He's just a unit. Without his cart.

It's not like there's many people going into the room other than themselves... people can put posters of whatever they want up.

I've got Skadi, but I'm not sure. The HP totals are really inflated, which pretty much requires the damage CE, but that leaves you needing to find a way to get 100% charge on turn one somehow. I guess if you had a AoE Quick servant with a 50% battery, you could Waver plugsuit it, but I can't think of any offhand.
The only AoE Quick in English with a 50% battery is Astolfo... Who gets basically no refund and can only loop with a MLB Kscope and 3 50% charge supports (something anything with a 50% self battery can do, technically).
Later Voyager exists but he's not for another year and a half. Shame since he'd probably be a bonus servant this event if he was out since he's a shota.

This is my mind after every math class.
I mean this thread hasn't broken in a few years (when there was a massive IP Board upgrade to deal with a large amount of Korean spambots or something like that), so I think we're good here.
-
The trailer showed Roy who was basically in the same situation as Marth at the time, I was honestly kind of surprised FE1 was the only game announced considering that. I guess I could see FE3-6 happening at some point.
-
Spent like 900 quartz and got only 1 Sitonai, 3 Ibarakis, 1 Chiyome and a Herc to show for it, rather unlucky all things considered since the average for that should be 3 SSR and 9 SR. Oh well, at least I got one I guess.

I usually pick based on which design I prefer. If it's customizable, I'll usually look at the options ahead of time then pick off that. I was very disappointed in the male customization options when I played Pokémon XY (I wanted to run around in a nice tux), so since then it's been double check first before playing.

To be fair, Arts looping is already a thing with generally the same sorts of heavy requirements to work as Quick loops (MLB Kscopes, etc). Castoria just made it way more accessible for people who don't have her (as even one Castoria already lowers the bar for loops significantly, a Sieg with 50% charge CE/Paracelsus/Castoria team is able to 3 turn Assassin nodes as the most glaring example because that is a totally ftp comp), and ridiculously op for those that do have her (via black grail looping/looping off 0% charge event damage CE).
