(+) Yeah! (+)

Used a few apples. No HP. Sadness ;_;
---

Used around 6 or 7 apples so far exclusively trying to get the Princess

I still have like 40 apples but there's just no time. Should've started this earlier

Or maybe I shouldn't have even doing this grind for a couple of hours is sapping my will to live.
---

Beat the gauntlet. Was a fun challenge, especially trying to keep Kintoki alive as long as possible until the end. Medea still somehow managed to get a Rule Breaker off.
---

I was really close to leveling up, and didn't want to both level up right before and right after the event ended, so I appled til I leveled and then gave up. Concentrated grinding is definitely more soul-crushing.
---

The event was pretty fun but can't wait until I can grind for exp again. Got a bunch of Servants lining up to be ascended except for the ones I want. >_>

And I still need to finish Okeanos
---

Event sucked aside from the two boss fights at the end tbqh

I'm hoping at some point the paradigm evolves past this grindfest event stuff but I feel like it never will

Actually I guess the "story" for what it was was okay too. The silliness worked well enough. But yeah those two things combined were like 15% of the event

Also I wasted like 70 draws to get garbage. Never helps!
---

I was mostly cool with the event. Guerilla and Party Quests were cool for variety. If not for CE grinding it would've been pretty great I think.
---

Yeah that's true. Guerilla and Party Quests weren't awful. It gave the illusion that you weren't doing the same level over and over again. Though really you kinda were. Last few days are really what soured it most (other than the damn draws, anyway).
---

Don't grind for CEs
---

I think I spent about 14 apples to get Halloween princess. ( believe I started with either 17 or 18 apples and ended with 21), but I also started farming it about 5 days just doing it.

Well I wouldn't if I had any good ones!
---

Well now that Halloween is over I guess I can do the TamaCat interlude for some Claws. Can also get back to exp grinding Servants up to max level and then waiting ages before I have the materials to Ascend them woo

I wish I hadn't!

I don't think the future ones are supposed to be as useful, so hopefully they won't be as bad.
---

My TamaCat is fully Ascended now. That makes 3 total fully Ascended Servants for me now

Can she clear hand waves?
---

Just figured out you can go into the menu in battle and turn off skill confirmations. What a huge improvement!

Can she clear hand waves?

I will have to test her out. I'm assuming you mean with her NP since a chain of her regular attack should kill any single hand. I haven't boosted her stats with Fous. I should probably give those to Herc instead.

Is this circle with a sword an NP increase reward? It's what the picture shows for Ushiwakamaru's interlude.

Yeah. Makes it quite a bit more powerful. Emiya had the same.

Also feel free to boost Tamacat rather than Herc. Farming is pretty important. Also waifu factor of course
---

Speaking of waifu factor I didn't really care about Ushiwakamaru's design, but I just finished her Interlude and she's pretty adorable

Man I guess you basically get trash from any Interlude that doesn't belong to at least a 3* Servant. I guess 1 Quartz is nice, but Robin Hood gave me bronze level Archer exp which is worthless to me. I should probably clear out my stockpiled All types Gold exp cards since Mash probably isn't getting a level increase for a while and I'm running out of space with all these things and Fous taking up spots

Interludes are mainly done for the bonus quartz. There's basically no way to get it in the game by grinding, so you take what you can get.

And yeah, All type EXP is meant to be used on all Servants, not just non-main class Servants <_<

For the next event, these are the Servants with bonuses:

Okita Souji (+100%) (NPC support also grants bonus)
Oda Nobunaga (+60%)
EMIYA (+40%)
Cu Chulainn (+20%)
Medusa (+20%)
Mephistopheles (+20%)
Ushiwakamaru (+20%)
Musashibou Benkei (+20%)

Nobunaga's free like Halloween Liz, so you might want to try to have four of those at decent levels? I dunno if it's actually a good idea to run a full team of those Servants, but it's probably good to have at least a few of them.

Also cool drop chart for the dailies:




(mobile and desktop size)
---

I know it can be used on all types. I just figured it was best for Mash since there are no Shielder exp items and I can get tons of all the other types for Servants I have. I guess it doesn't really matter.

For the GUDAGUDA Servant list I have Emiya max Ascended, Cu at 3, Medusa at 2 I think, Mephistopheles at 1, Ushi at 3 and Benkei at 2 I think. Not too bad!

Ascended Medusa and Elisabeth Halloween again woo

Some interludes have guaranteed drops of rare materials the first time you do them, right? Is there a list somewhere of that?
---

Orion, Blackbeard, Tamamo Cat, Kintoki. That's all of them.
---

Orion has a guaranteed rare material huh

... well that's some consolation, at least...
---

GUDAGUDA coming November 8th
---

Whoa that's fast
---

Awesome! They must have seen all the complaints of people bored after the gap between Orion's event and Halloween and didn't want to leave us with nothing to really do for a long time.

this also means shishou will be around the end of the month I believe, since her banner showed up right at the end of GUDAGUDA

though apparently that only happened because gudaguda was extended due to maintenance, so maybe a week in between or something
---

GudaGuda probably goes until the 22nd. They can do Christmas in mid December and you have a window in between where you can have the Scathach banner.
---

The weird thing in the original was that the Scathach banner started during Honnoji originally. That was due to maintenance. I suspect we'll have Scat start immediately after Honnoji ends, which was likely the original plan. And then London after that, maybe? Could even do both London banners consecutively before Christmas.
---

London has to be after Christmas. Much like how Moonfest introduced Orion before Okeanos, Christmas introduced Jack and Nursery Rhyme prior to them being in London.
---

Hmm, I don't remember any reference to Moonfest in Okeanos.
---

Hope my tickets as Quartz will be enough to get Okita. Not counting on it or getting anything great in general off the banner, but we'll see

Guess i better step up my grinding
---

I wonder how much Quartz l'll need for the average amount needed to pull Okita. Got 17 tickets and 339 Quartz so far

That amount means you have an above average shot at her iirc
---

Or it might be closer to 50/50
---

What are the rates on on banner vs off banner 5* do we know that?
---

Well damn hopefully I get her and not more Emiya. If I'm looking at the right banner she would be the only featured Servant I don't have....that's pretty terrible because it means I would be pulling for literally 1 card. I heard she is like special banner only and can't otherwise be summoned though. I really wish her banner featured better stuff

its 70% chance of being rated up 5* or so I hear

but

yeah in JP she showed up here, the special new year banner (where you paid money for a guaranteed SSR, she was one of the possibilities), and didn't show up again until September this year

so she won't show up again for another 2 years after this basically
---

Hi Jeanne I don't need that sign to know this.

Random note I just saw that Scathach has Medea Lily on it as a 4* which is actually a 4* I wouldn't mind having unlike Tamamo Cat who I wouldn't care for.

I would be upset had I actually got any 4* or higher servants in my 70+ draws on that thing but whatever.
---

I need those EMIYAs
---

There's a chance to pull all the other 4*s in Okita's banner right? Could I possibly pull Saber Alter or Jeanne Alter on it? If not then yeesh I might have to reconsider pulling because chasing only a single card is usually a terrible idea in any of these

Jeanne Alter is 5*

And no you can't pull any Story Unlock Servants if they're not directly featured on the banner you need the generic story banner for those otherwise
---

This game's gacha just sounds worse the more I hear. Like literally the worst of any mobile game I've played or heard about :(

It pretty much is. The only reason I haven't dropped this game is I hardly want any of the 5* Servants anyway and it's fun with the 3*s and below.
