    My late thoughts about this.
  2. Shiki
    Rider node had me waste 160 AP which equals 80 lost Hiragumos. Ouch. Drake's Voyager of the Storm makes the goons actually dangerous and one-shot Herc with a crit. Doesn't help that Drake has insane damage output herself. I've now scrapped by max. Honnouji point and use Mash, Herc, Support Kintoki (+Hiragumo CE), Emiya, Nobunaga and Cu. My 4th loss came with this team though because Drake critted Kintoki to death ... while he had his NP ready. Got the 3rd Nobunaga now with today's golden mission.

    He is still better than trash Sanaki or Lilina though who are only good for 1-hit Blade tome builds ... which are god awful in the current meta. Sophia kinda suffers the same problem since Red is the worst color for TA+Raven build. I would rather take him over them for his ability to potentially triple-ploy in case he doesn't have any favorable match-up. Still worse than the 'good' Redblade users like Tharja or Katarina or Ragnarok!Celica but that's pretty decent all things considered.

    Kinda agree. I thought this would be far harder but switching out the under-leveled Medusa for my Hercules pretty much did the trick for the Rider quest. Since the 5* CE has taunt he will never get killed in the first wave and the 2nd can be cleared 1-2 rounds. The last one is NP/Buster Chain spam until everything dies. But boy do I hate NP gain skills on enemy servants. If I didn't pop Evasion on Herc and Cu I would have to spent Command Seals because Drake's NP was charged.

    Just a fair bit of warning; The enemies on that stage are centaurs which can take a lot of punishment. It might be a good idea to switch the line-up a bit so you can focus more on clearing that stage instead of optimal Honnouji setup. Doesn't help that there are only 2 good Assassins out there.

    Honnouji Rewards. They give out Golden Apples, too. After watching Apocrypha, I kinda wonder when the rest of the roster will be added. Though class-wise we can't be sure what they will be. Vlad was a Lancer in Apocrypha but became a Berserker in FGO.

    Gudao drop get! Apparently Caesar had enough and wanted to parley with me ... Unfortunately that won't stop me from UBWing the 40 AP Saber stage with double Emiya ( @The Geek's one, thank you btw.) and Nobunaga. Problem is that I won't be able to actually run all 5 copies of it since I lack the capacity for it. The most I can get with my current level is: - Emiya - Oda Nobunaga - Cu Chulainn (FSN) - Ushiwakamaru - Medusa - 3x Gudao CE With Support Okita that will put me at 380% multiplier. If I get another Level I could run a 4th one for 410%. Argh, it's so tempting to buy Ascension materials before the CE or Skulls. I already spent 120 Hiragumos for 3 Talons (because best dog), so I need to restrain myself.

    Do not expect to get the Servant you want (especially not time-limited). Do not expect that you will ever have time for anything but grinding. Do not expect that you will have enough Saint Quarz).

    Spent around ~60 Orbs on the Long-Hair Banner. How the hell did I pull that off? Notable Pulls: - Sophia (Neutral) - 2x Hinatas (1x 3*, 1x 4*) - Takumi (+Spd, -Res) Only picked red and colorless Orbs. It is ironic that I got Takumi at all because all the pulls before had no colorless Orbs and I was at 4.00% pity rate. However the red Orbs gave me some Fury fodder to work with. Camus has finally been released from Fury 2 and Innes shed Fortress Res for carnage. Sophia is notable because I sent away the one we got from Sacred Seals quests. I did have another one but she wasn't neutral and I developed the good habit to actually train these free units, even if I don't promote them from 3*. Now only neutral Est, Donnel, Barst and Niles are missing. This Takumi is really good. Probably his best combination. With him I have now all Fates Royals at 5* rarity. For some reason Kagero still evades me from the 4* pool.

    You should do the 10 and 20 AP ones until you get enough stuff for the shop, so you can buy the Gudao CE and the ascension material for Nobunaga. Afterwards you go for the 40 AP ones to clear the shop. I think the Rider one is the best one(?) for farming the CE and Ascension material because it only drops Hiragumos, not the other event items. 30 AP is never worth farming since it has the lowest count per drop.
  11. Shiki
    The good thing is that the 40 AP Quests are class-specific; that means you could just use 1-2 Servants that is effective against them. Only exception is the Berserker (the current one) but that gives the least amount of Hiragumos from the 40 AP pool (still more than the 30 AP though) and tomorrow there will be another one available. Btw. who dropped the CE? I didn't read anywhere who drops it. Is it only Servants from the last wave again or could any Servant drop it?
  12. Shiki
    It might seem hopeless but there's something the game doesn't tell you about the Hiragumo drops. Like the Honnouji points, later 40 AP quests have higher counts for each drop. Right now I have seen 1, 3 and 5 drops. This eventually goes up to potential 10 Hiragumos in a single drop (though there are still lower counts like 4 mixed in that pool). I don't know how exactly the progression is but the later quests will drop more Hiragumos for 40 AP, so it is probably intended that you should clear the bronze and silver shop first before jumping into Hiragumos. It will be harder than the Pumpkins in Halloween but it should still be doable without apples.
  13. Shiki
    I read in reddit that certain 40 AP quests are better sources for Hiragumos. Not all of them though and if they follow the same scedule we're getting a new one tomorrow.

    I don't know how much the translators deviated from the original script ... but boy is the dialogue hilarious. The amount of comical references, they included, was exquisite. The bronze pot grind was pretty tame. Already done in 1 day. Though I think from the silver one onwards it's going to be hard due to not having the drop-boosting CEs and you will probably want to have a support Okita before taking someone with the CE (who has likely Gudao instead of the other two). Do all Servants have the chance to drop the 5th copy of Gudao? @Archer of Red It's kinda sad that Chloe who is a free Servant will be better than him due to having a more focused role. Being still worse after 2 Strengthening Quests must really sting. #UBWshouldhavebeenArts Though boosted Emiya is still very good.

    Stat's alone don't matter that much, especially since this is a Ryoma without his A passive. Fury will lessen the difference quite a bit (and give Ryoma a +4 Atk over Ayra) or Life and Death puts them at the same Spd while Ryoma trades Def for a significant Atk lead. The only thing that makes a difference is that weapon effect but even that can be replicated by using Steady Breath. Sure, he will be quite a bit slower but will have the same endurance and can potentially fire the Special off during the counter. That is arguably better. Ryoma is just far more flexible because of his free choice in the A passive. Ayra needs to take DC to match him and surpassing him in close range doesn't accomplish anything in comparision.

    Since she is never mentioned again in the Epilogue we don't know if McGilles did anything with her or what even her fate is considering her situation. Kinda odd since the majority of the cast has a spotlight there and a certain child popped up. I see that General Discussion is pretty much a spam thread. Talking about glorious IBO.

    I have 40 SQ right now. I don't think I will scratch enough to pull more than 2x 10 (+5 Tickets from December) on the Scathach banner. On the other hand ... We will probably get the same New Year 2016 pull like JP. I'm considering investing in that one since the pool is still small at that time and it would be an extra 10x Black Keys Summon for Scathach to whatever amount of F2P SQ there is. Since only 'paid' SQ is eligible the least amount of €€€ would be 36,20€ (that's the 42+23 pack) it's going to be quite expensive and I could grab the wrong one. For me Zhuge Liang and Tamamo matter the most; the rest would be rather disappointing especially the Sabers, Orion, Drake or Jack. That's 2/11 against 7/11. Hm, decisions, decisions.
  18. Shiki
    Um, that's McGillis. Also known as the true pedo-Char.
  19. Shiki
    Eh, I would still argue that Ryoma is ceiling. Ayra with DC may match him (or surpass him since she technically has +5 Spd & +4 Def lead without skills at +Spd/-Res) but he has the edge in terms of flexibility regarding with his A passive. Also Brave Roy is still the best player-phase sword for now. He has more movement range than Ayra and horse buffs make him match her offense. Both have the similar effects with their weapons, too.

    I'm looking forward to play as Seto Kaiba Zeke ... if that is possible.

    You know that this is a double standard, right? You can't accept "power creep" on weaker units and criticize it if someone stronger gets the same treatment. But even then, Red itself is in a really bad state. Lucina herself isn't impressive anymore and falls right there in being another red unit. Ayra being better doesn't make Lucina less relevant because she was irrelevant in the first place. BST is a pretty limiting factor. I agree that of all people Ayra does not deserve that favoritism (especially before the 2nd places of CYL). However, as I showed in my example, the boost doesn't matter that much. They could have min-maxed Ayra without the 5 points and people would still cry about "power-creep". Though I completely agree with exclusive skills. Especially Regnal Astra since that Astra is a million times better than its regular line. People can complain that older units are getting outclassed but that's how they sell these characters. Otherwise you're ending up with dozen of clone characters that have roughly the same stats (see Lance Cavaliers) and that causes stagnation. It really seems like people don't understand that this is something all Gacha games have to do. Just because FEH spoiled us within its 9 months doesn't mean they don't follow the progression of a standard gacha game. Inevitably we will end up with a situation where all characters are supplanted by better ones (ok, maybe not Reinhardt because Brave Tome).

    Lukas is better than Oboro. Introduced way back in April. Leon is better than Gordin. Innes is better than Niles. All the Brave Heroes are better than anyone that can be remotely compared to them (Cain <-> Roy, Sharena <-> Lucina, Bartre <-> Ike). To have some examples. Didn't hear the complaints back then. They very nature of a gacha game dictates that even within set limitations better optimized characters will appear at some point. Let's assume that Ayra gets a -5 BST to make her equal to Lucina. If IS decided to take it away just from Res then Ayra is still better than her despite having the same BST. Considering this powercreep is something you better get used to. Older characters will be worse than new ones, IS has to sell these Heroes after all. The only real way to gauge powercreep in a gacha game like this is the ceiling. Brave Lyn is the only one after SI Reinhardt that introduced a whole new level of threat to be prepared about. She literally forced people to build counters for her and and Reinhardt. Raven Tome + TA + Bowbreaker suddenly became quite relevant compared to their previously niche status. These kind of things forces people to adapt or they sink with it. That is powercreep. I would rather consider Sigurd to be powercreep than Ayra because he throws a wrench in the whole ORKO meta (like the man is indestructible, I swear). Against her you only need to use the counters that are already established, so she doesn't affect the game as a whole.

    Purged my friend list of traitors. Yes, traitors. Getting a weaponless Wrys from your friend list is sabotage. Team Katarina ID: 9398786336 Lead is Nohr!Azura. Need to post this again since my friend list is now only providing a Tiki who doesn't mesh well with Katarina in terms of color. I can provide other units like Nino/Soren, Hector TA+Bowbreaker Cecilia etc.
  24. Shiki
    The pain, if you forget to complete that 1 Master mission before the reset. That's 1 Quartz less (4 fragments to be more precise) for Scathach. At the beginning, not really. While higher levels grant better Hp/Atk, getting to a relevant level costs a lot of Exp and Qp. If you only care about the effect, you can safely ignore leveling up your CEs and only use it for MLBing. However, FP summons give you tons of 1*-2* CEs you can burn to level up a CE. Getting to the first 20 Level is not that hard.
  25. Shiki
    Some people really don't get it that you should set up a unit with a different color as your lead. Fighting a Delthea with Katarina (mine), Tiki and a 4* Corrin is not fun. Still won though (somehow). If anyone sees an Nohr!Azura with WoM and Moonbow, may she serve you well. But as predicted ranking in Katarina's side is super easy. Easy 2100~2500 feathers.
