Fate/Grand Order General Discussion (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

[OnesFleetingGlory]

So Vlad got NP upgrade again. So happy since he's my first and only SSR Berserker, but it's gonna be a long wait.

No mention of Extra Class there, so no hope for Jeanne I suppose.

Hoping for Quetz for SSR Rider.

Day 7: 4* Lancer

The punchline is that this thing is starting with Vlad and ending with Vlad, isn't it?

I can totally see that.

Datamined content

• Rama and Yan Qing's NP animation modified.
• New buff that triggers quick resist down on attack.
• New attack buff applied only to Lawful allies.
• New debuff that drains NP gauge from demonic enemies.

Yan Qing is nice, but Rama? Really? Didn't he already get one in LB4? Guess we'll see.

Errata

Turns out "NP animation modified" doesn't necessarily means NP animation update. It can also mean one new fraction of second was added to fit in another buff. Meaning Rama's and Yan Qing's buffs are NP buffs and the rest should be Skill buffs.

Spoiler:

Yan Qing was expected. For Rama, I suppose Tsuna kinda powercreeped him with the Saber anti-Demonic gimmick, specially if he gets an NP upgrade one day (though it sucks that this didn't go to other Servants that haven't received one yet...)

[manafusion]

Wew, I knew that they'd do that sort of "second upgrade" situation. Thank god Vlad got it. Though, now he's probably better than Galatea. What's Galatea's merit again over Vlad?

- - - Updated - - -

The other Servants are
4 star Saber
1 star Assassin
5 star Rider
4 star Assassin
5 star Archer
4 star Lancer

My guesses:

4* Saber: Saber Alter
1* Assassin: Charlotte
5* Rider: Quetz/Ozy
4* Assassin: Yan Qing
5* Archer: Ishtar
4* Lancer: Vlad III

[Oz1337]

Galatea has much better survival skills, better passives, better NP effect for damage as her buff works on multiple waves and happens before damage. For deck type I prefer Vlad, but that's mainly because I prefer same type Brave chains with NP rather than only normal cards.

Edit: Though if the only thing you care about a Servant is NP spam with Castoria and nothing else matters then yeah, go with Vlad.

[Rafflesiac]

Sanson fans on suicide watch.

- - - Updated - - -

4* Saber: Rama Rama Rama RAMA RAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
1* Assassin: Not even DW is braindead enough to ignore Mata Hari here
5* Rider: Ozy's Charisma?
4* Assassin: Paisen NP upgrade
5* Archer: Orion's Whimsical Bond finally gets another use?
4* Lancer: Lancer Artoria Alter's Charisma

Spoiler:

[Rama and Shinsin likely the SR Saber and Assassin, respectively, there. The Quick Resist Down on Attack would probably go to Mata Hari or Kojirou to take care of the C Assassin. The Lawful-only Charisma could be Vlad (Extra)'s Tactics being upgraded since he's also Lawful and Tactics needs to be buffed in general. Just leaves us with who would get that NP drain from the SSR Archer or Rider.]

As for my guesses to which Servants are getting buffed:

• SR Saber = Rama's NP.
• C Assassin = Mata Hari's Espionage skill.
• SSR Rider = Ivan's 1st skill based on that one datamined debuff entry.
• SR Assassin = Shinsin's NP.
• SSR Archer = Just make it Arjuna so we can have another fully upgraded Servant. More seriously, Moriarty or Orion. If Moriarty, NP upgrade. If Orion, something to his Anti-Male skill.
• SR Lancer = Vlad (Extra)'s Tactics skill.

Galatea has Buff removal resist on skill, a 3 hit 100% damage cut and automatic debuff clear for the whole party at the end of the turn for three turns. She is much better than Vlad on the defense side.

I think you don't understand what Damage Cut is. It's a flat damage reduction. 100% damage cut is basically a myth. Because percentage isn't a flat number.

Now, 100% Def Up is possible and that's amazing.

[CO9p5JMGv!p9]

Spoiler:

NP animation tweaks mean that Rama and Yan Qing are pretty much confirmed. Lawful buff is probably Quetz, remember get gimmick in Babylonia? It's gonna upgrade her Charisma.

I wish SSR Archer to be Gil, but 98% sure it's not. What a shame.

Confrontational much? I have no patience today. PLONK.

About certain boss' gimmick

Wasn't her gimmick for Good instead of Lawful? Though I'm not complaining if DW went with that.

If I were to guess which Servant got which buff based on that datamine and their lores, then Rama's likely to get the Demonic NP drain one.

Edit: By the way, how's Vlad's refund now after this combined with his NP Gain Up buff? Is he easier to loop by himself?

[manafusion]

I was merely stating the facts. If it came out as confrontational, well... I'm sorry then. I clearly didn't mean it to be.

[Oz1337]

Galatea has 100% defense up for 2 hit/3 turn, which is like pseudo-invincibility if the enemy doesn't have attack up, and even if they have the heal she has and other ally buffs can easily make up for it.

[GDB]

5* Archer: Ishtar

Hopefully not. If she gets a second upgrade, an animation update, AND a costume before they even acknowledge Ereshkigal's existence again I'll be more than a little irate.

Also I doubt any limited units will be buffed here, since they'll get a rate up once their SQ hits.

[Rafflesiac]

How would they even buff Ishtar? Add a star bomb to her 3rd skill?
