Board 8 > Fate/Grand Order Topic 6: Scathach Refused Your Call

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'd like to get Iskandar
---

Save 3 years for Semiramis.

But yeah, MHX/Saber Shiki is problematic, given how close together they are.

Might try hoarding tickets only for Cleo and SQ for Musashi, if I have 0 luck, I'll get at least 2 guaranteed 5s a year though!
---

Oh yeah I like Cleopatra too, if only because I like the art
---

Oh fuck, well i guess depending on my luck, shuten douji is also in play.
---

I just want Arturia and Jeanne. I have Nero and Mozart and David and anything else is gravy.
---

Only 5*s I want are

Altera x
Gilgamesh
Tamamo
Scathach x
Ilya
Rin

I'm just gonna blow all my savings on them as they come though-- not gonna super hoard for any cause none of em are way out and ahead higher priority. There are quite a few others I wouldn't mind getting or anything but I don't see myself drawing on any that aren't these.

And really Rin vs Gilgamesh is probably a race where if I get one I stop drawing for the other one cause I don't really need anymore Archers once I get one of the two. (And because I like Rider Rin well enough)
---

Also I think Ilya is the only one of the group that I'm going to prioritize getting more copies of if I get one

Not because she's my favorite exactly but because her gimmick seems so NP Centric that I feel like she really needs NP5 to get the full experience more than most.

Wow, this guy on the F/GO board bought 14 of the 140 packs chasing a dupe of Scathach. Literally like $1,500 what a moron >_>

I should say, thanks to EA, there's been a lot more awareness for this kind of stuff.

Apparently the state of Hawaii is trying to do something about these kinds of practices.

Though who knows if anything will come out of it.

Sounds like enough time to save up 500 Quartz and fail again!!

Oh yeah

KING HASSAN

That guy just looks awesome, I need him
---

Top of my want list is Nero Bride and Jeanne Alter. Bummer they're practically back-to-back.
---

For real though if I haven't pulled anything after the Swimsuit Artortia I'm just gonna quit since by then it will have been almost a year with 0 pulls I want

Man I wish Leonidas's 4th Ascension art had the helmet on.

Yes I know it's weird to talk about a Lancer when I just drew the #1 Lancer but I'm just looking at units that would synergize with Ilya if I got her and it's like "man he looks so badass in ascension stage 2 and then he takes the helmet off"

I wish this game had more options for the 4th Ascensions in general actually. Like I would almost certainly grail Medea to 90 for sure if I she had her hood on for her 4th art.
---

Holy moly, Lancelot got a pretty huge buff this patch that I haven't heard anyone mention. His +Atk buff applies at the start of his NP now instead of at the end like it's done since the game came out. Dude can flat out murder full teams now that used to take a good smack or two extra to down.
---

... are you sure? I don't remember it ever not doing that. Unless it was like glitched before?
---

Cu is my only good Lancer. At least he's fully Ascended I guess. Cu Prototype is probably second since he's been Ascended once or twice and then it's probably a lol 3way tie between Benkei, Romulus and Leonidas. I think that's all the Lancers I have so far

In all the time I've used him (since the first Gil banner) he never had the buff show at the start, you could always just hear the audio cue towards the end after the last shots were fired. It doesn't seem to be just a change of animation/audio either since he's actually killing things with just his NP that he couldn't before.
---

Also actually I feel like Cu is super weak. Maybe it's because I haven't put any Fou into him, but he doesn't hit very hard at all

Well he is a 3 Star

His strength is never dying and hitting hard with his NP, though Grailing or Fouing him would certainly help. I have a level 90 Cu friend and he hits like a truck
---

Is there any other source backing up this lancelot claim?

and Cu is a lifesaver, like Cu is a 3 star unit that I've felt is more useful than many 4* units.
---

He's been fully Ascended and has lower Attack than my 2 Ascension Cu Prototype though :(

I've been looking around and haven't seen anyone mention the change. One comment on his wiki page does mention the buff seeming to apply in the middle/end like it did for me though, while the wiki page itself says it's supposed to apply at the beginning.

Maybe my game's just been effed up, I don't know!

Yeah. Most consider Cu Proto to have better damage while Cu is better for survival in really hard missions.

That's pretty savage.

For the Scathach mini story, I'm not the only one who picked "YEAH!" every opportunity, am I?
---

I picked "YEAH!" every time because I was so hyped I got Scathach

In a different world, who knows
---

Pfft I'd take that Elisabeth over Sieg. Real hell is trying for that 5* and getting Sthenos and Siegs >_>

Oh on the story note I bet I'm the only one who picked to dodge Scat's pat. That little story didn't really make me care about her. I'd say Fergus was the highlight of it pretty easily unfortunately

---

XD
---

It's hilarious

And true for me. Only reason I hadn't leveled Cu up yet is because I hadn't ruled out lucking into Scathach.

Poor guy. Maybe someday.
---

Poor Cu always getting fucked over despite being one of the coolest Servants in the series :(

Cu is a champ. At the very least he'll never be useless in this game because he's basically immortal.
---

He is pretty great. I think the other thing is I didn't want to have too many F/SN servants on my main team or too many 3* or lower bases for grail concerns and I like a few of em (particularly relative to their class) more than him.

Eventually when I find myself wanting more than one good Lancer though I might level him up more.
---

My Cu dies fairly often, but that's due to classic swordz9 luck where I use his evasive skill only for it to all be used up in one turn because all the enemies attacked Cu >__>

I'm still contemplating who to grail first. It has to be a character I like, and probably not a 5*. I'd like to grail either George or Hassan I think
---

Lost a lot of time today to family stuff so I might not really bother using any golden apples. Just going to farm what I can. A shame too because I ranked up and then had stuff to do so I essentially gained no AP for several hours.

Event ends in 28 hours, right? Actually leveled up for the second time this event, which is cool. Boss Rush gives crazy XP <3
---

I thought it ended today
---

No, it's tomorrow.
---

Tomorrow is family day too really. I mean I could still play, but I've been burned out for a while with this event. I've gotten some nice drops and bought a fair amount of rare materials. Just going to have to hope I don't need many of the baby and gear with the Servants I have. I should be able to get the remaining Octuplet crystals and Chaos Claws at least

for this, I think it's just that it now makes the power up sound before he attacks. I think the effect was always there, it just didn't make the noise
---

Managed to choose the wrong team twice for the boss rush aww yeah. Second time wasn't too bad since I had Oda and Emiya in the back, but the first time I had 3 new Servants I just summoned in the back row. Managed to get two turns away from winning despite that though, which was pretty cool.
