Fate/Grand Order General Discussion (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

[Pendant]

Happy with how this Anniversary turned out tbh. But is it just me or did it feel to anyone else like they were stingy with the quartz this year?

Disregard this. I didn't notice there were all those SQ fragments in the present box at the time of writing that.

[Oz1337]

Wow, the double buff thing with EMIYA's projection looks really awful with the double arrows. They should have changed the colors instead to represent it got a second buff.

[Deathhappens]

GBF has the absolute stupid levels of grind and disgusting individual SSR rates to make up for their generosity. Sparks are cute, but Baha, Lucifer, Belial and Primals are unsparkable, and they're players' gameplay goals for grid progression.

Roulettes should be athing in FGO, too, tho. Imagine Gachapon in FGO.

FGO already produces new Servants at a disgusting rate, no thanks.

I'd take a sparking system instead, that would actually work with FGO's model. Maybe even a flash/legfest equivalent with old limiteds (like Scathach and Gil) if we're being greedy.

- - - Updated - - -

Rolled in the GSSR 2015 hoping for Shiki or Iskandar, got NP2 Scathach instead.

Got 1 Castoria, though it took all the free quartz + 1 pack

I need 3k MP to get all copy of Merlin furry CE. And my QP is well below 1M.

sounds like my day #sorry

[GDB]

Speaking of sparking, they didn't update the gacha in any way this year did they?

[Zork Knight]

Can you test it with Salieri please?

Ok, Salieri seems to work too, maybe not with *every* 50% charge CE depending on circumstance I think, might have to bring a 10% charge Mystic Code

But really, what I can say with confidence is Caster Artoria is the most busted support we have for NP looping

4* Servant guarantee in paid gacha.

So I went to the Barbatos fight and used CG for easy solo with Heracles, so I could try his Guts.

- First of all his Guts stacks with his Bond CE which is amazing to see after so many years not happening.
- The Guts from his skill is used first so yeah you don't use it from his Bond CE.
- Every Guts that is triggered, causes his skill to put a 20% Buster Up on Heracles.
- With the cooldown reduction of the Guts and the Mystic Code that reduces cooldown, I had another extra stack of Guts ready.

Perfectly balanced.

And yeah, I soloed that fight with Heracles because I just ended up doing so much damage Barbatos couldn't do a thing at all.

[VendingMachine]

Does Herc's new buff stack with Guts given by others? Like Iri or Quetz?

[Oz1337]

Going to try it, but I bet it does. There's nothing that says it's not possible.

Also soloed Solomon because of course I did. Easy 80% Buster Up, there we go.

[Zork Knight]

So uh

Who's the prime Servant to test for Single Target NP Looping

Cause it might be doable now?

[AmADo VII]

triple Artoria

one Archer two Casters

[Skittles]

wdym now
but yes 2x castoria+summer artoria (archer) for funtimes

[Zork Knight]

As in, solely from the NP?

Too bad I don't have Squirtoria

[Oz1337]

So I tried it, and it stacks. And the Buster Up on Guts trigger works on every single one of them, it doesn't care who applied it or where it comes from. Naturally you can't use any Guts CE if you do so as only the one from the skill stacks, so I wouldn't recommend it.

But yeah, Heracles has reached levels of broken tbh, it's even harder to lose with him now.

Ok, Salieri seems to work too, maybe not with *every* 50% charge CE depending on circumstance I think, might have to bring a 10% charge Mystic Code

But really, what I can say with confidence is Caster Artoria is the most busted support we have for NP looping

Thanks. Guess I still have quartz to use when the daily rewards arrive, maybe a miracle happens.

[Ratman]

Got her in 20 rolls. After all the work I've just put into the free Tamamo, too.

Merlin outdated, Skadi belated, Tamamo overrated, Avalon activated.

[AmADo VII]

Herk is still weak to enemy gimmicks, though that can be said to other servants as well.

[Oz1337]

Herk is still weak to enemy gimmicks, though that can be said to other servants as well.

You can put Invincibility Pierce and No Miss CCs on his Buster cards which I did to avoid dodge or Invincibility spam shenanigans, and the cleanse CE on the rest to avoid DoT damage.

Even if his dodge is pierced you only lose two turns (and you still have his crit up from that skill), and now you get a lot of damage after many Guts have triggered so it's easier to kill the enemy before it kills you. And since his Guts from Bond CE can't be removed, you still have some leeway in case the enemy removes your buffs.

Sure, he may be weak to enemy gimmicks like many other Servants, but there's not that many gimmicks that can truly stop his last man standing potential.

[R.Lock]

I gotta say, Artoria's defense buff going up to 5 at 500% OC is funny to see.

[VendingMachine]

Yeah, but my man is even better at his schtick, which is "last man standing wins the day".

[Sandstorm77]

Well, guess my NP2 berserker musashi is gonna have a lot of usage from this point on.
