Fate/Grand Order General Discussion (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

[TheMew]

his fists are like swords

He also fires beams which is a Saber requisite.

[astagadragon]

Vritra is really good, and based George finally has Bayard. Good event.

I like boxer Karna but what nakes him a Saber?

Its a Japanese pun.. apparently kenshi (swordsman) has another meaning as boxer

[Deathhappens]

he always was pretty decent

Not even remotely.

Trivia: we haven't gotten an Assassin since Okita J Souji

[Herod]

Trivia: we haven't gotten an Assassin since Okita J Souji

We only had 1 Caster, and our last offensive Caster was Chen Gong.

[OnesFleetingGlory]

Honestly, I'm dying to see someone test his buff out on Ibuki. That sweet, sweet double-trait advantage on Zerker... MHX against Saber Artoria came close second, but she hits neutrally Class-wise.

My wish comes true, but not with Ibuki fight.

Found the one with actual Ibuki fight.

[Kelp24]

Hah, good old George-Dragonslayer duo. If only he got some buff too.

[...]
- Flash Fists: A
This Karna has no spear. He swings only his fists.
But that doesn't mean his power level lowered.
As someone who trained every single martial art under his mentor Drona, he's used to fighting empty-handed as well.
If anything, recalling his past training martial arts along with his fellow students, like Arjuna and Ashwattaman, makes him fell renewed, and losing the weight of the spear makes his body much lighter.

At max speed, his sequence of punches can surpass the speed of light, and the opponent only sees the trails of the punch like a flash of light... maybe.
This looks similar to the glint of a sword, meaning his fists are akin to bare blades.
"This must be the reason why I'm now a Saber."
He tells sonorously in the cafeteria.
Ashwattaman was eating chicken behind him, with an "?" face throughout the whole speech.

To be completely honest, I learned a lot from watching Rome's divine ancestor. Yes, he taught me a man's fist carries infinite potential. This is why he is a Lancer, and I now became a Saber. He's someone I'd like to request a match against some day.

Side note: Sword and fist are both "ken".

[fumei]

For me, fate series has a huge opportunity to introduce players to a variety of important individuals within world cultures. For better or worse, thanks to fate, more people become interested in legends and history that they wouldn't otherwise experience. In that vein, it's dissappointing to see one region be overrepresented.

For reference, while this is very rough this is what the actual representation looks like, more or less.



This is not counting TM originals (which would most likely push Japan higher) or alts (which would most likely push England higher), so like I said, it's a rough count, but at least like this moving a couple servants here and there won't make a difference between the big slices.

[Rafflesiac]

literally just blue ibuki, huh

Rude, she looks way better.

- - - Updated - - -

So this is Karna's values (taken from Cold_Ay in Reddit):



First Servant to have an effect that only removes Guts.

Seems pretty good for what I see. No idea if he can loop though.

That is radical, Karna is feeding the people.

- - - Updated - - -

Rejoice to those who have Beowulf and have yet to complete LB 5.5. He can enjoy Berserker-double trait advantages against Ibuki-Douji.

It me.

Ascalon looks really cool now, Vritra looks solid but I will stay strong.

[Lobo]

This designs are so good, the artwork on this year christmas CEs is great all around

[Trubo]

Was about to mention Erice but then remembered, she's an exception due to having IK on NP.

If all Instant Kill rolls were made post-damage, both Nitocris would become some of the best looping Servants in the game.

[GDB]

Incidentally, doing very rough basic calculations, at NP2 Vritra's NP damage is pretty close to Erice's at NP5. Erice will hit harder on Servants, Vritra will hit harder on anything with Divinity. And she can loop whereas with Erice it's always risky.

I'd also add that, since she's not limited like so many other event 5-stars, she's practically guaranteed to get an NP upgrade in (relatively) short order to bring her NP damage in line with other Servants.

Just realized I've apparently been following this artist for over a year now on pixiv. Good for them!

[asterism42]

[Zork Knight]

Beowulf was sorely in need of such an upgrade but I wish Karna also got one. Either to make him draw stars or to make his damage buffs last longer

[good job]

wish he got an animation update too

[Reign]

They said a while ago they intend to update all the 1-3 star launch Servants but it is pretty slow going. I understand it takes time and effort and they aren't a priority over new Servants but still.

I'm still sour Ishtar got one that she absolutely did not need over Ushi, Benkei, and Leonidas.

[OnesFleetingGlory]

Hopefully Ushi and Benkei will get animation update along with the release of Yoshitsune, just like the case with Arjuna alongside other Indian Servants during LB4.

[Zork Knight]

Maybe Ushi upgrade will come with Yoshitsune
