(+) Yeah! (+)

I 3-4 turn it. Chloe/Lartoria/Helena/Waver team. First turn Helena buffs and swaps to Waver, and then I use most of my other buffs if I have a Chloe and Lartoria Buster card since they can wipe with regular cards, or save the buffs for next turn if I'm missing the Busters. Chloe oneshots Spriggan and other guy gets killed easily, Lartoria kills Arjuna and leaves Karna either dead or with <15000 HP so he dies too.

Lartoria uses WRP, rest of team all has JR. Could three turn it if I switched in Arash with KScope, but eh.
---

I guess it's worth noting my 5-6 turn kill is with full event CEs. I guess if I could probably optimize to 4 turns with non-event CEs but 5-6 (depends on card luck a bit) doesn't seem too bad either way so whatever. You get a fair amount more petals with full petal CEs cause of all the drops.

Course maxing out Chloe is bad news too so I don't think I'd be receptive regardless.
---

Full JR team would be interesting, though I'm currently using all of mine (I have two MLB'd right now). With a +8 bonus, boxes cost 117 AP, taking into account the 30 you get back from Bronze Apples. If I upped that to +9, that'd go down to 106 AP. A somewhat substantial difference, I guess, but I dunno how worth it that'd be.
---

Technically it's only 4x JRs I guess since yeah MLB White Rose is too good not to use for reducing headaches. Point is I'm not using any kscopes (lmao having kscopes) or whatever. Was mostly meant as a contrast to newbie's post more than yours.
---

Final quest was pretty darn intense.
---

Final quest wasn't too bad once I absorbed the gimmick. If you have a way to stall her or tank her NP leaving Lalter alive helps a lot. I have Jeanne so yeah not too stressful to get her NP up every few turns

Once I did that l won first try with Jeanne Martha (Miracle debuff removal so useful for this event in general) Kojirou Medea Orion FriendJalter. Took 3 tries overall though.

Overall I dug this event just for the 7 boss fights. They all had really fun gimmicks and were reasonably difficult. Hope we start getting more events with some legit battles.
---

umu
---

This final stage seems easier to farm efficiently. Usually do it in 4 with Scathach, CAT, and Waver unless card luck is really bad. CAT's NP can wipe the final wave with primordial rune active and has a quick animation to boot.

If I had a trained Arash I could probably 3 round but I'm not sure how worth it is.
---

saw my whale friend put WRP on his NP5 MHX so I decided to take her for a spin for the final stage

beat it without command spells, not too bad. fun and challenging though
---

I still have most of the challenge stages to do. I wonder if I even have the roster of characters needed to complete them.
---

you have Cu Alter so you can do a majority of them I'd say

Unfortunately this seems like the hardest events in a while. You have setsubun to look forward to though! (FATIGUE)

Yeah, you're probably right.
---

So I got a new phone and downloaded FGO onto it. Is there I way to speed up battles that I'm missing? Because the game seems be slower now.
---

Play the game at 2x speed?
---

I forgot the button for speed is in the menus where you pick attack cards, not in the main battle menu before it.
---

I have four copies of the main CEs @_@
---

I got 15, if you're talking about Joint Recital.
---

I did end up spending many apples, though I still have 30 gold apples for later lottos. I'm about to clear the 50th box, which should do it. Half EXP gathering is significantly more efficient for those purposes than boxes, so I'll probably be doing that tomorrow. Hope the Jalter/2x success banner shows up soon though.
---

Well if you're doing the max difficulty stage you can clean out a box in 4-5 runs. Closer to 4 if you're running at least +6 petals. It's 200 AP to do that, rounding up.

A box gives you 25 gold embers and 25 silvers.

10 runs of the exp stage will give you 80 golds and like 10 silvers or so.

It's close to 3x as efficient for pure EXP but I would say the other stuff, particularly the QP, make the boxes way,better long run. Only one more day of boxes anyway so I'd keep farming those. Can always do half embers the remaining 6 days

I did some math here if you're curious, Lopen.

With the XP from Nerofest I managed to final ascend all my bronzes and max level all my Golds other than Fionn. Just 10 Silver left to max ascend, too.
---

Ah it's only 150 or 180 I guess I should've not been overly conservative with my estimate there.

But yeah you may not think you need QP now but just trust me you'll need QP. The rest of the goodies are less certain, but still, go with the boxes.
---

Opened 100 Boxes and have 450M QP now. Is nice. Starved for a bunch of other mats though...
---

Holy crapola that last battle was ridiculous. Kind of amazed I managed to beat it, that's a really nice feeling.~
---

It was a nice test.
---

The important part of what made that last battle cool is it was not just a stat check. The battle plays out very differently based on what you prioritize killing first so strategy matters, and the strategy isn't always the same based on what strengths and weaknesses your servants personally have.

Really shows you that there is a lot of potential for the battle system to have a lot of depth if they put effort in. This event as a whole was that way in a lot of ways, but that last battle in particular was really very good.
---

I didnt do them all, but what challenge battles I did try were pretty cool.
---

I think every event from now on has at least one Challenge Quest, so that's cool at least. The reruns don't at first, but I believe they're eventually added?
---

I am ready for more event imo

New Halloween event feat. Brave Liz should be right after. I'm just happy I can fucking finally get a MLB Halloween Princess. X_X
---

liz has kinda grown on me and is a fave of wifebolo so I am up for double liz
---

I don't mind Liz. One Liz. I'm annoyed she has so many alts
---

Finally, Chaldea Lunchtime is in the store!
---

there will never be too many liz

until they outnumber saberfaces at least
---

Not a fan of any of the Liz alts other than Mecha Liz. They lack the bite of the original character. Like, what character traits does Caster Liz even have?
---

Caster Liz is normal Liz wearing a witch costume. Not really an entirely fair complaint anyway. Caster Cu isn't really different from normal Cu aside from complaining about being summoned as a Caster either. It's mostly just the Alters that end up being distinct.
---

Well sure, but there are usually slight differences, like how Archuria is somewhat more fun-spirited than vanilla version. Caster Liz is kinda the same, where she loses all of Elizabeth's evil traits and becomes vanilla happy funtimes bad singing idol.
---

I don't really think Archuria is anything different. She just magnifies Saber's love for food at the expense of her other traits, mostly. This is an improvement but it doesn't really add a dimension to the character. It's pretty identical to Caster Liz magnifying Liz's idol traits at the expense of the other ones.

Time to take another swing at Tamamo

Tribute to the Elder Gods gives

Halloween Arrangement
Storch Ritter
Lu Bu Fengxian
Paracelsus von Honenheim
Jing Ke
Battle of Camlann

Just like the good old days

At least arrangement gives me a MLB one off my 4 from last year I guess?
---

I don't think I could care less about this rerun Halloween event.
---

I used all my quartz yesterday to see if I could get Laltria or Ozzy, over 100 quartz lost, but managed to snag in the last summon a saberlot. So kinda happy.

I don't think I could care less about this rerun Halloween event.

Yeah I believe the story and format are a straight rerun from doing the first few stages? That's kinda disappointing. Nerofest was way different and better so I had high expectations for this one.
---

eh it'll let me mlb the CE so I'm not too bummed
---

It's for people who missed it last year. We're getting a new Halloween event afterwards.

Nerofest didn't even have a story tied to it the first time around, so it'd make sense that they would try to change it up. It's not a map event either.
---

Getting the Lores and that's it
---

I'm glad to have a chance to get all the Servants, at least. The shop is pretty weak, but it's something to do.
---

Yeah honestly if you did the event last year, you could have already cleared out everything worth getting from the shop. >_>

Funny to see how far events have come! Makes me even more excited for the real Halloween event coming up next. Anywho, bones are at 45% on the 10 AP node so if you're crazy enough to grind that hard then that's something good to do. Honestly I'll probably just continue farming embers. >_>
---

You can clear all the mats from the shop just doing the Party + Surprise Quests, so yeah, stick to those. I'm mostly running 10AP for Bones <_<.
---

My friend set up an auto clicker to run 10 AP for him (though he does need to start the quests manually) and he said it's working really nicely. I might give that a try!
