    So basically, once you bring somebody that can easily remove its buffs you pretty much cheese the boss fight. Kenshin is probably great here, since it renders its attack buffs useless and it's not hard to make her spam her NP. Will try with another Servant though.

    Yeah, they all had the white square around them except for one which was a defensive buff which seemed to have the one time (as opposed to turn count) text beneath it. I assumed that was a damage cut of sorts, probably an actual skill instead of one of the boss fight's end of turn effects

    He auto-buffs 2T double Unremovable defense boosting skill before he attacks (and never counts towards his move counter). I'm assuming that it's either a Def Up + Damage Cut mixture or pure double Damage Cut, evidenced by how Merlin can't deal enough damage to go above zero yet my 3-turn-in Quick buffed Angra Mainyu can. On Break, he gains a 6-hit massive unremovable defense boost buff which I'm unsure of if it's % Def Up or just an insane Damage Cut but I'm assuming it's a % Def Up since Merlin + Maou Nobu Atk Up buffs with 200% Power Up CE is enough to deal moderately decent damage to him. He also has a skill that buffs himself a delayed activation effect which... I don't really know what it does because I wasn't paying too much attention. I assume it's probably his HP heal or something.

    So yeah, not really useful, specially since Medusa doesn't do much damage.

    In the end I went ahead and nuke it with Atalanta, pretty much the best solution in a lot of nodes.
    You can also utilize sacrificial taunts to reduce the amount it can heal.

    All my attackers died in the Challenge Quest shortly after the last bar break, Katsuie still had 1.3-1.4 million HP, and I was left with double Merlin and my backdrop CE-less Asterios...

    If it's all def buffs, wouldn't Sherlock trivialise it? Or does his NP not work on Damage Cuts?

    Retarded Shower Thoughts logic incoming:

    All of the summer freebies so far have been done by the top-dog artists of Type-Moon, right. (and of very popular female Servants to boot, too)

    Koyama w/Scat.
    Mori w/Ish.
    Takeuchi w/BJAlter.

    If trends keep, then maybe it'll be Wada's turn to do the freebie??? (Please be Melt, please be Melt, please be Melt).

    inb4 it's Takao because he's technically one of the artists w/seniority. :V
    McJon01: We all know that the real reason Archer would lose to Rider is because the events of his own Holy Grail War left him with a particular weakness toward "older sister" types.
    My Fanfics. Read 'em. Or not.

    OT
    That boss Hydra... you basically need mass Stuns to deal with its lifestealing attacks. Or just burst it with Skadi-powered Medusa

    I mean, that's one way of doing it. Pretty sure Damage Cut is considered as "Defense" anyway, as indicated by the shield icon.

    This anniversary will be a special anniversary featuring a full-fledged event. They did it for new year, they can do it for anniversary. And the freebie is Youjo Vinci.

    Ignoring gameplay value, Ryoma's nice. If you want to talk about gameplay value, nothing beats Skadi2 with Quick AOE or single target.
