Fate/Grand Order General Discussion (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

[astagadragon]

Challenge is up
The enemies are Jalter, Assassin Arjuna and Caster Arash (last one is zerk Byrn)

[Pendant]

Challenge could have been a little tougher. Probably saving it for the upcoming high difficulty event.

[R.Lock]

Passionlip's doing better than BB. Good stalker-Kouhai.

[castor212]

isnt that the old challenge

wait nvm

The main problem in this fight is JAlter crits and Arjuna's NP, both because he can easily use it due to having 3 bars and because it may trigger instant death (fortunately if you don't bring Servants with Divinity the chance is very low). Also Arjuna is the one who contributes to increasing the crit rate and damage of JAlter, so you have even more reasons to kill him first.

[Arha]

Saber manuscript drop rate seems on par with Rider area and probably easier to clear.

[R.Lock]

Since when 100k AoE damage per enemy is an easy requirement without Gil/Ishtar?

[Oz1337]

I'm just going to go full crit party with Tomoe, Tristan and Merlin. It will still take some time, but I'm not bringing Arjuna in this node.

I didn't even know it was him that was the one who was doing it when I did the fighting but I just naturally zeroed in on him because he has a 3-tick AOE NP. Reason enough to want to get rid off him. Jalter is ST and Arash just kills himself so you don't even need to worry about him.

[Arha]

Oh right. I forgot they had that much HP. My mind just went 'Kuro can take Spriggan, good Archer can take boss and loser mooks don't matter.'

That being said, I don't think the Rider area is much better, is it? AoE Assassin options kinda suck and Lip/Berserkers have gorilla decks and therefore NP charge issues.

[AmADo VII]

BHG Tesla is too good even when his NP buff failed he can wipe 3rd wave.

Summer Scathach wipes the third wave clean. Just needs an additional ST NP to kick Orion/Mary&Ann's ass.

Cleo with Merlin can wipe the third wave by herself.

Second wave is Shiki's responsibility.

First wave is whatever.

And on the Archer node, I see Nobus again...

On one hand, I want to farm them. On the other hand, I want to do it just once since Nobus are really, really cute.

I went with the former, forgive me, chibi!Nobus.

I want to change my phone during the next week, can you give me suggestions? ASUS doesn't work to my tastes since it updates frequently. Thinking of O plus Ultra Lite since their last model catered to my needs last time even though its RAM is 1 GB.

[Pendant]

It's a personal decision and one heavily dependent on your budget.

[Arha]

It seems hypocritical to use a strategy based on Cleo and Merlin but say using Ishtar/Gil/Tesla is too much to ask. And while I haven't run the numbers I do know that you'd definitely need BHG to do that as well as probably being NP2, which is even more of a whale strat. Even then I'm not sure it'd work. And it sounds like you're dropping a fair amount of drop bonuses that way.

As far as phones go, if you're using it for FGO 2GB is going to be required soon.

[R.Lock]

Cleo+Merlin is just a side-comment. Main meat is that you can do Rider node with free units + Waver/Merlin/Helena/Ozy. You can't do the same with Saber node.

Yeah, that's why I'm asking for suggestions. If only there's someone Filipino here who can suggest me those phones for easier scouting. So far, all I have scouted are both O plus models with 2 GB of RAM, both have Mediatek 6582 processors, but I don't know if the CPUs are ARM Cortex R7. O plus 360 HD checked out on 2 requirements, RAM memory is not one of them.

[Oz1337]

And so, it's finally over. Saber Lancelot is at Bond 10. Now it's Ryuutan's turn.

[Qinglong]

First round took arts team and turn 6 AoE DD dies and ended up taking 24 turns with only stallers left

second round BHG Chacha wiped out most of the CQ in 9 turns with Merlin being the only one who died

[Oz1337]

Well that was a nice start to the challenge quest. All the goddamn Servants got a crit in the first two turns, wiping out my front party like it's nothing. That was record time in losing.

Le sigh. I hate when they rely on crits for artificial challenge.

Edit: Done. Gotta love making them do 0 damage with Ryuutan.
