Fate/Grand Order Gameplay Discussion (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

[Nikiri]

Um, I mean, I get what are you trying to say, but she is still a supporting unit. A tier below Tamamo, which sucks, but still a support

she sucks more in damage dealing than in supporting, imo

[R.Lock]

To reiterate.

Osakabehime is a worse support than Angra Mainyu.

[Nikiri]

yeah, I also thought about the solo thing, but eh

[Aozaki-desu]

Um, I mean, I get what are you trying to say, but she is still a supporting unit

no

A tier below Tamamo, which sucks, but still a support

if that was true, how could tier below one of the MVP of the game suck?

she sucks more in damage dealing than in supporting, imo

No, actually, nearly every unit in the game can produce OK-tier damage output in correct situation and with right amount of steroids
however, thats not the case with support role

[Nikiri]

if that was true, how could tier below one of the MVP of the game suck?

ok, two tiers, or three tiers, w/e

but two of her skills is to support others (and kinda herself, if she going to do dmg with def down on enemy), her NP boosts whole team, which for me is enough to be called "a support"

No, actually, nearly every unit in the game can produce OK-tier damage output in correct situation and with right amount of steroids

ok, you lost me, so Tamamo, Merlin and Waver cannot produce OK-tier damage? or are they also not supports

we have different view of supporting, so probably we won't be on the same wavelength

[Arha]

He's saying anyone can do damage with some effort (ie. that Mozart that critted for over a million against Dantes during prison tower rerun) but not everyone can work as support just cause you really try hard.

[R.Lock]

Nikiri, parse the sentence again, without 'no, actually.'

okay, that makes sense

so Hime-chan supporting is too weak to be considered as an actual supporting (and thus not classified as a support)

yeah, different view and definition

Aozaki won't call Boudicca a support, meanwhile I probably would call her a support (but she ultra sucks at it)

yeah, I get it

[Aozaki-desu]

Its not actually just about numerical values being low, its about how you play her
as i said, you cant just have her in your team and expect her to have her np up at least every 3 turns
because for her to use NP frequently you need critical brave chains which start from arts card which she has 2
and i mean you need to cap her cards with 100% crit chance
so you sort of expected to run 40+ stars each turn
which is not that difficult because she is an assassin
but you have to give priority to her cards
which means other 2 units get less cards played
which is exact opposite of how you play support

i'll refrain from commenting on boudica, call me up after she gets 1 or 2 str quests

[Nikiri]

I agree with what are you saying

at the same time, I have to test myself if she really needs her card to be prioritized making other two suffer from it, so the next event (and maybe challenge quest from Fake event) will be a good playground



but calling her an offensive assassin seems not to be quite right, and I don't have a better term than "support"

[Qinglong]

I can tell you right now anyone partnered with her without someone else doing the charging is going to suffer

[Nikiri]

I know!

half-support

like half-assed

this will work, Hime-chan is a half-support (shortened to h-support )

[R.Lock]

Hikkikomori should be called hikkikomori instead of half-assed terms.

[Nikiri]

it was just a joke

h-anime, h-manga

h-support

[R.Lock]

Tobias, stahp.

[Nikiri]

you love it

[Oz1337]

So if Osakabehime is not a good option, who do I replace her with? I will still try her later more times to see if she works well, only tested her once and it didn't seem like it went bad, though maybe Parvati helped a lot in this.

I wish there was a quest that can be used infinite times with no rewards to try your Servants, because I sure won't test it right now as long as I have Hokusai at less than 10.

[hinode]

IMO going for three Quick servants on a team is a mistake, outside of low difficulty quests where team comp doesn't really matter.

If you think about it, people don't use a "Buster team" consisting of something like Cu Alter - Musashi - Jeanne Alter. Instead, they use one of those three (or some other Buster DD) along with Merlin + Waver or double Merlin.

[Oz1337]

I know, but I still want to try making one, at least to experiment with new things, which sometimes ends up with interesting results. And the incoming Setsubun event seems like the best opportunity to try them if we're going to have a cooldown period for our Servants.

And I don't want to use Merlin at all, it makes the game too easy, which also means it makes it boring. I'm fine using him for farming events though, I'm not so stupid as to make the farming harder than it needs to be.

[Kromy]

Never understood this statement that Merlin make the game too easy, even with Merlin, i got my ass kicked in CQ and some hard quests as well, he's not a god, he's a servant like every other one.
