Also, who here has 5*?

Me.

Gilgamesh is a great servant who I think is still entirely relevant to this day, so I'd recommend pulling/rerolling for him if you do not have a good servant. I'd certainly appreciate a good Gilgamesh support.

Oh man I just looked at the banner

Lancelot has a rate up as well as Fate Caster. Talk about luck seeing as that's almost all I cared about from my rerolled account that I don't have on this new one (as well as Fate Rider-- which again, will probably be achieved with friend draws eventually, if not a random 3*)

Keep in mind you get 10 Star Quartz and a bunch of other goodies if you started before 7/6, and the anime expo 20 Star Quartz also disappears at that point, so there is a good bit of a tax to rerolling for Gilgamesh.
---

yeah hoping I at least get Lancelot.

just got Medea from friend summons wanted Cu Chulainn rip (plus I have Waver so I'm not terribly starved for a caster).
---

I mostly just want Medea because it seems weird to have a team with Kojirou and not her on it. Also her NP is super easy to build which means easy overcharges to give away.

Well that and she's my favorite Caster till Prisma Ilya (maybe-- honestly animations and such will play a huge role in whether I'm down with that one)
---

I pulled both Cu Chulainn and Medea. Currenly working on both.

Also have Jeanne, marie, Heracles, and Siegfried.

Only need Waver or an archer to make it perfect but lol, no dice.
---

I already have Lancelot, and I'm not even using him because I also drew Tamamo for my berserker slot.
---

I have Tamano but despite liking Tamano Caster in Extra I'm not sold on the Berserker version. I actually have super Yandere Kiyohime as my Berserker right now but yeah I'd rather have Lancelot if possible cause Gatling Gun NP too good.

You finished Orleans already?
---

No. I drew her from FP summons.

She's an FP summon? Huh.
---

As I understand it you can get any non-time limited 3* servant from FP summons.

You can also get her from normal summons before completing Orleans as well, mind you.
---

I know, just that pulling a 3* from FP in any gacha game is rare.

I'll post my friend code when I get home.
---

Oh yes big sexy Gilgamesh is coming home soon

Really? I wonder why. It seems like it SHOULD be Artoria because that's way closer to Arthur than Altria

Nevermind the fact that Altria is literally the name of a tobacco corporation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altria

Altera is another odd one. This one is an Intel company.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altera

But that's what XSEED used in Extella.
---

Yeah I don't get why she's also called Altera when it states her name as Atilla in GO too.
---

Beat my first 40AP quest. Feels so good

http://fategrandorder.wikia.com/wiki/Ryougi_Shiki_(Assassin)

Oh my god what. When. This is my life.
---

Woo cleared every Daily Quest for today for the first time. Artoris (never calling her Altria) is so good

Got past Orleans. Onwards to Septem

Glad to see Nero is the same as ever
---

Everyone check dat news. That's a lot of shit!

No umu = literally hitler

93 minutes til maintenance (which should last about 3 hours) in case you want to use AP before then...
---

I did a 10 roll and got two Lancelots.
---

;,pasofjkgasdkfjasdfljas;fljas;dl

on top of already rolling jeanne and altera
i rolled gilgamesh on my 2nd 10x with my 60th out of 70 saved quartz

luckiest man NA
---

So who's better in the long run, Hercules or Emiya? I know Herc Berserk is the hot shit now, but Emiya is gonna get super buffed, right?

Emiya easily. Berserkers have trouble lasting long enough as enemies get stronger. Also, Emiya meshes with multiple team compositions.
---

So I take it Emiya is the best free 4* to nab in general then?
---

I nabbed Emiya and stashed him for the time being. Giving exp priority to Lancelot and Marie
---

....I haven't even used the 10x summon and I already got 5* Arturia and Gilgamesh from from 2 of the 3 free tickets...
---

First multi got me Gilgamesh and Emiya

welp time to save for Scathach

also I think I'll choose Carmilla with the freebie since I need a decent assassin
---

I havre to grind a bit for a 10 pull :/.
Also, all the tix were essences :P
---

also in battle is there a way to back out of the card selection phase once you click on it? like i want to go back and use skills that i forgot to use before taking my turn but i dont see a way to back out of the cards

Not that I noticed, but I've also been wondering this

this is also an issue I have

maybe it's so you can't see your star distribution ahead of time?
---

oh yeah that would make sense

unfortunate
---

picked EMIYA for my 4*

got nothing useful with the tickets, all 3*s
---

Dunno who to use my ticket on. I already have Emiya, Heracles and Carmilla. I could get s dupe to raise Emiya's NP, but I kinda want Tamamo Cat too

I went with Bartholdy because Archer and Lancer were my weakest classes and I'm not that into Emiya

Apparently this is either on purpose or still an issue in jp and it will not be changed

I'm torn between tomamo or emiya for my 4*
---

I have 8 summon tickets and 124 Quartz.
Debating if I want to try for Gilgamesh. I don't really like him as a character, but he seems decent in battle in this game

Judging by how good FSN Lancer is, I'd reckon any servant can be good with some effort. Hence one could opt to focus on waifus over strict min-maxing
---

hey man I focus on waifus and mozart thank you very much
---

Kinda garbage draws with 2x10 + 3 Tickets as far as rarity goes but got 2 Heaven's Feels and 2 Medusa Riders so I'm not too upset. Got a lot of quartz yet to harvest too.
---

Now for the freebie, I'm waffling between getting another Emiya to buff his NP, getting Herc, or getting Marie. I feel like Marie wouldn't be used much with Medusa and I'm not sure how much I really want Herc compared to Lancelot or even Kiyohime-- never was a huge fan of the guy.

I'm thinking Emiya's probably the smart choice in spite of already having him but I guess I'll probably wait to see what my remaining draws on this banner give me.
---

Whoa half AP for Daily Quests. That's pretty big. Too bad I don't really care for today's. Cool how that First Order quest gives you all those silver Pieces too.

NP is not tremendously useful to buff, if I am to be frank.

The way it works is that every dupe fed into it increases your NP bar by another 100%, but it doesn't double their damage. For EMIYA's case it raises it from 300% to 400% damage.

Yeah I know it would be a fairly small buff.

But well my options are:

1. Get Marie Antoinette who seems to be a fairly weak Rider and possibly weaker than Medusa despite being of higher rarity, and who I doubt I'd be using over Medusa most of the time even ignoring how good she is or isn't in game because despite doing well with what screentime she's had she's not Yuu Asakawa or a gorgon

2. Get Hercules when I'd rather be using Lancelot or maybe even Kiyohime

3. Get Emiya for a small buff to the NP on a servant who is my best Archer, and who I'd probably be using as my "main" Archer unless I got Gilgamesh or Ishtar-- however at this point using a composition without an Archer most of the time seems likely as it seems more useful to have a triangle generally so I'd probably wanna run Saber, Berserker, Assassin Triangle generally.

So really not many of these are terribly useful. I guess it boils down to how often you'd be running comps where you double or triple down on a type, or whether Marie provides much in the way of utility (healing NP seems okay but her skills seem weak)
---

Heracles is one of the best Berserkers even in the JP side of the game, personally going on a simply mechanical level I'd go with him. Which I did, going to be replacing out my EMIYA with him and stick him with my HF.

I hear carmilla is pretty good
---

Beat Orleans. That 2nd to last fight nearly wrecked me. I was down to half Hp Emiya and Heracles. Thank god Heracles is a fucking beast who regularly does like 10K damage or so. The final boss was a joke in comparison
