And many other fights too. She deserves only the best.
-
Shimosa done. Now for some free quest farming and JP reruns.
-
The Hell Riders will give people the most trouble. A Rider boss accompanied by double AOE NPs and charms every other turn is brutal.
-
Parvati is waifu < 3
-
Parvati is one of the best point servants for Quick after Dantes. Yes, second only to Dantes. She is an easy skip if you aren't rolling for Skadi, but if you are there is no reason not to.

Doesn't matter to me as long as it's all Sabers. Gil tears this up like he usually does.
-
Same, I've been pushing hard this event. Getting CE drops left and right and I'm over 60 boxes done at this point. Gonna keep going till I'm out of gold apples.
-
The opposite for me. Went from 10 to 50 boxes in a single farming session yesterday. Gil makes it super quick. Meanwhile in NA land:
-
Went with my gut and got Nursery Rhyme. 9/9/9 now, just need the Lores.
-
I have Lv 100 Artoria on JP. Void Shiki is on NA. Shiki is in the 19k area at 90 pre-Interlude. I don’t think she outdamages Saber Alter either. That is some cursed luck though, geez. Hope it gets better.

His character doesn't do him any favors, yeah. I have a Lancer Saberface Alter already. Taking Jailter off support list puts me in a situation I can't win. Also did you see my NP5 Daishouri Saber Alter hit Bond 10 a long time ago. I still use her for farming despite NP1 because I still don't have any AOE Saber that reliably hits harder than her. She's at 26,728 assuming no grails or fous so the difference is even bigger in practice. NP5 Nero swings for 19,559 on NP. If IP procs she hits for 28,165. NP4 Suzuka is 26,257...if I actually bothered leveling her skills. Saber Lily will eventually outdamage her post-NP strengthen at 27,987 but probably still loses to even grailed NP1. I'm torn because even if Wu is better, I like Nursery Rhyme and I've never pulled a copy of her. Edison manhandles full gauge Kama and is a lot of fun to use. He also has the most use as a support between those three so I think he wins. Barring any favoritism of course. Haven't seen you post in this thread for a while. Good to see you're back!

People thinking Fionn is bad in the year of our Lord 2019. Why?
-
Waffling between Wu, Alice, Saber Alter, and Emiya. Wu is the clear winner for gameplay while the other three are flavor. Saber Alter would give me NP2 while the other three would be NP1. What do?
-
BB with Merlin and a support Jeanne manhandled the Prototype Finale. No CS. Just ignore Altria and Medea and kill everyone else. Sure you have to go through 20 stacks of Guts at the end, but by that point the fight is already won.

Musashi's downside is that she can't crit. Ever. Outside of that she's great. She's not really a point servant for CQs--Hokusai is still better there. However her refund farm is fantastic. Ò̧̥̤͡k͍̝̖͉̗͙͕i̧̲̘͚͕͉̰ţ̬̲͢͜a͖͉̬̪̬͕̹̗-̱̮̠̳̥͇̖͟s͏̴̧̪̤̭ḁ̹̬̞̟͓n͔̘̤̺̖̦̖͜ ̧̲͙̟̪͔̟̥̕Ḓ̩̬̰̤̬͖͎À̸͇͙̗̀I̞̗͇̯̗̥̠S̷̳͇͖̤̻̬H̭̪͇͍̦͓͝O̶͙̯̦͎̰̲͍͜͞U̧̻͖̺R̻͔̟͚̣̞Í̶̭̟͎̯̀ Initially, I wrote her off almost immediately when I saw the stun demerit. Between her passives and Reines though, I think she's pretty good now. It's still very premature to rank the summer servants, but tentatively I would say: Musashi > Hokusai > Melt > Artoria > Okita > Osaka > Carmilla

Yagyu has a different use case than either of them. Hokusai and Lancelot are more useful for most content. Yagyu shines in ST fights where buff removal or pierce invuln are prominent. For example, Yagyu is way more powerful than either against Avenger Amakusa or Demonic Bodhisattva.
-
Horrible. Offensive buffs on a CE with 3,000 HP / 0 Atk spread. It's on par with Afternoon in the Citadel with how mind-bogglingly bad it is. She's one of the best refund farmers out there though. She also scales better with support than other Arts point servants do. I consider Hokusai a sidegrade to Lancelot at best. Her main lead is in NP damage, but Lancelot has more consistent criticals. Osakabehime has a better buff value than Qin Shi Huang and excellent NP gain for her deck--2.0 Arts card on a Caster deck is impressive. Really, her main weak point is her Charisma and NP. Otherwise a pretty good archer.

@YotsuMaboroshi Buff removal immunity is a filler skill effect. Instead of making a buff that is meaningful to the servant's usefulness, it's just been tacked on to servants that don't need it. You won't suddenly use Medea Lily now that she has her skill buff, nor does Nobu having it make her an option over other Buster AOEs. It doesn't help that buff removal is extremely rare, and when it does appear it can be played around.
-
So this happened. I am forever grateful that Charlotte did not end up as a gold servant.
-
This would be an amazing anniversary if not for the fact that Skadi is absent. Rerun banner when? Of the new bronze servants, Chen Gong is far and away the best one. He is too versatile.
-
Extremely easy CQ. First run was BB / Mash / Merlin. Took no damage from the boars and cleared in 45 turns. I tried it again earlier to see if double Merlin could just outheal the damage and facetank with no defense buffs whatsoever. Saber Alter for the DPS. These boars are super noodle-arm apparently. Towards the end I was 8% NP charge away from NP’ing for game, so I just plugsuited Saber out for BB and cinched it. 28 turns. If I bothered to optimize the turncount could be even lower, but I’m too lazy to do it again.
-
Summer Fran for sure. Neither Nobu nor Nitocris are particularly good NP1 pulls.
-
Oh, oops. And yes, Parvati is incredibly, utterly, ridiculously, stupidly broken. She came out before Skadi so she fell a bit flat at first, but now... If you consider all the factors (availability, relevance, strengths, investment), Parvati is about the only servant I’d give a perfect score. She is way too good. Also her art is immaculate don’t @ me

@QKumber Rider Mordred is great for farming the next Nero Fest. However, when it comes to refund farming we’re getting better options very soon—even among Arts servants. Arts looping is largely inferior to Quick looping overall due to lower NP damage and smaller margin of error—Quicks only need to refund 50% while Arts has to refill the entire gauge every time. -Signed by an actual JP player. @Glaceon Mage I was 5-6 turning the Cave node by overcharging Kintoki’s NP. Double Ozy for charging NP and a K-Scope AOE Rider for Wave 2. He does something like 238k at neutral. Absolutely disgusting. Then again my Black Grail is Lv 100.
-
I got Tamamo Lancer from GSSR. Going full circle from getting Caster in my first GSSR, huh. I’m considering rolling Parvati to NP2 later this year, but otherwise I’m not pulling for at least another year.
