Board 8 > Fate/Grand Order Topic 3: Umu.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Scale is the prize there. CE is straight garbage.

Also, Grand Finals are up. Second stage is a boss rush.
---

2 more serpent jewels pls so i can take best girl medusa to the top
---

Wew, got very close with the 40 AP one, only got Nero left but got wiped out.
---

40AP one is really hard. I got down to just Nero and used my command spells to win. I used Artoria/Herc/Lancelot/Tamamo/Emiya/Cu. The first part is so easy you don't even get your NPs charged even with Kaleidoscope. Not sure I can beat the stage without my Command Spells

beat it without command spells thanks to an altera friend with kaleidoscope, but it was a tad bit dicey

mainly cause I let Nero buff herself like 4 times while I was trying to rebuild my NPs
---

Wasn't too bad with Jeanne/Herc/Zhuge. Had Herc die on the second last turn but that was it. Beat it on turn 11. Try focusing your attacks on single enemies in the first round so they stay alive longer and you can build more NP.
---

I, uh, lucksacked into Altera + Lancelot that both have Kscopes, so all I need is a Waver friend and I can breeze through it. *cough*
---

I guess I can do that. The Servants after are still pretty tough. I focused on Carmilla first since her NP would happen first. Of course that meant Cu Prototype used his evade move. He was alive with Nero at the end whoops. I tried to focus on the bigger dangers like the Berserkers, Gilgamesh and ones with 3 NP charge.

Incidentally, when exactly does the event end? 36.5 hours from now?
---

you gotta make sure you kill Gil ASAP when he comes out. dude just hits too hard.

thats what it looks like to me, though the shop will remain open for longer
---

Beat the finals easily but I had a Level 90 Saber friend with Kaleidoscope that was able to Excalibur the first 3 down and my Jeanne was able to Luminosité Eternelle to tank Enuma Elish to buy time for Kojirou to OHKO Gilgamesh with Tsubame Gaeshi since OP Saber was not useful against him-- probably couldn't do it without the Saber or command spells. Maybe if I was able to go back to the damn ember gathering after actually getting awakening materials I could.
---

Hope I have enough time to earn 59 more gold medals so I can get the last material I need. The 40AP one seems better for gold medals, but the 30AP one is easier to do.

Grand Finals is actually a lot of fun! Definitely the kind of challenge I was hoping to see. I can just barely squeak by, it came down to my cleanup Herc 1 v 1ing Nero both times I did it. >_>
---

I definitely wanna try Grand Finals without using the OP Saber just to see if I can do it. My team is so underleveled due to being choked by Ascension materials before this week though.
---

If only I got 2 more Saber monuments sooner. I'll just get them after Nero Fest, but it would've been nice to have a 3rd Ascension Artoria right now.

i squeak by Grand Finals with Emiya for last.
---

I still need those dragon fangs, the 10 ap event stage hasn't give any yet.
---

I got Artoria to bond lv6 and it takes 300,000 to reach lv7. This is the real grind right here

is there even a benefit beyond 5?
---

I got 2 or 3 Quartz hitting lv6 with her. You get a craft essence for the characters at bond lv10 too.

Level 10 gives you a special craft essence (which you will probably never use due to low STATZ)

Not sure on Level 7-9 but I know Level 6 Kojirou gave me a Golden Apple, Medusa gave me 1 Star Quartz, and Altera gave me 3 Star Quartz, so there's probably some sorta loot formula based on rarity for raising em that high.
---

well there goes my excuse not to do that I guess
---

http://fategrandorder.wikia.com/wiki/Bond_Points

Looks like you get that each bond tier. That's kinda cool. You get 12 Star Quartz for fully raising a 5*!
---

You also get a CE that gives bonuses when equipped to that particular servant
---

I wonder what Artoria's max bond level craft essence is

I think all but two or three of them are worthless. Hers increases attack for all allies by 15% when she's on the field. Generally they're considered to be bad because their stat boosts are really low compared to other CEs.
---

15% well damn guess I will just keep Kaleidoscope on

Bought every item. Enough Jewels for Gil stage 3. Enough scales for Gil stage 4.

I am free.

What day is archer monument day again?
---

literally in the opening post of the topic...
---

Yeah but I thought there were different odds an Saturdays and Tuesdays for certain ones.
---

Drop table I put up in the third post has drop rates and days to find each item.~
---

Oh, well that I missed. Way to fuck it up Maaaaaaaac.
---

I mean monuments right now are literally the same either day. it's only in JP where day matters
---

damn, got my first death to the lvl 40 quest. had to use the command spells for the first time.
feels bad man :(

They're not.

I didn't, dipshit.
---

You didn't put it in the OP.

Fucked uuuuuup.
---

Officially done with Nero Fest oh ya. Looks like I have to wait a day for Saber monuments. Maybe I'll try getting some other ones while I wait or go back to farming some exp.

Damn, still need 200+ Gold medals to clear the store. I tried 20 and 30 AP and it still seems 30 AP one is more effective...
---

With the right team, 30AP is easier than 20AP, and the exp gain is more efficient, so at least there's that.
---

30 is much better for Gold medals. 40 is best if you can do it.
---

40... might get me to the third crystalized lore. gives 10-15 medals. i gotta do the bronze ones too.
---

Yeah, gonna stick with 30 I think. Thanks!
---

4 nightless roses have dropped for me.

The hell do I do with these
---

Give me one please.
---

My goal on this banner was to get Nero. Since then, rolling has gotten me:

-2nd KScope
-Jeanne
-Waver

I apologize for nothing!
---

Speaking of Jeane.

What exactly is the Ruler class?

Looking at the Class s/w chart, it's not on there.

Saber beats Lancer
Lancer beats Archer
Archer beats Saber

Caster beats Assassin
Assassin beats Rider
Rider beats Caster

Shielder beats and is beaten by no one.
Berserker beats and is beaten by everyone.


What does Ruler do? I don't have Jeane, and afaik, she's also the only Ruler Class.
---

Takes reduced damage from at least all the main classes.

Is it offset by any weakness?
---

It's not strong against any class (except Berserker CMIIW).
