Fate/Grand Order General Discussion (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

Can't believe we actually played Town of Salem in the new Advanced Quest. Had to check how to beat it, the mechanics were kind of confusing.

[Nanaya]

Or did i imagine that

I believe it was mentioned in GoA regarding island nations.

shit never noticed that

I remember that being brought up regarding a possible connection to Nanaya and divine body.

Finally did the Super Cerberus fight. Was hoping to reuse my Chiyome team but nope, kept falling apart during Wave 1 because off-kilter NPs + that eye buff block constantly or due to constant NP seal in Wave 2 from the Cerberus. Eventually settled on the following but replacing Oberon and Skadi (Ruler) with Waver (mostly because nothing better for that spot) and Bride (star gen since none of the supports I had that were useful had instant stars), respectively.

T'was fun though, trying to manage the enemy kill rate so you won't lose all your units too fast.

Old Man Shuwen is surprisingly useful vs. Cerberus

Even as someone who likes gimmicks, this werewolf game quest is the absolute worst thing I've ever fucking seen.

[manafusion]

Was it? After understanding the rules, it's actually fun. There's a couple of outs that can happen such as using Oberon to perma-sleep someone and using Servants who has non-offensive NPs to avoid killing too much in one turn.

[Petrikow]

The rules are like pages and pages long, and it basically boils down to just killing the alter egos and not killing the normal classes.

In terms of actual gameplay its super simple, despite the mechanics being so intricate. What was even the point?

You also can't kill a lot of them or you'll lose too many units too fast. Meanwhile, you'd wanna speed up with a certain "Good Wolf?" around so you can get rid of as many Bad Wolf without getting IK-ed. There's a small bit of nuance to it. Hence why you could do some silly things like running Oberon and Summer BB so you can stall the battle for long enough to have a decent safety net. Or run full support so you can use their NP and avoid killing the enemy when the certain "Good Wolf?" isn't out.

The werewolf game has been the worst thing in FGO everytime it came up in the story. Guess that reputation held up in the advance quest.

[Rafflesiac]

If you bring Matt, does she stun your team for you?

[Oz1337]

They should have made it so you can only kill one enemy per turn, and build the mechanic with this in mind to completely remove the card RNG from the minigame. I had to bring Ruler Artoria and the Mystic Code that reshuffles the deck because of that.

I assume it takes more to code an attack stop mechanic. But it would be a fun alternative, yeah.

Olympus video:



Something was wrong with my copy-paste on phone, had to edit the shit for the right video to show.


EDIT: Huh, Machi Asobi 25 is soon. No game news for it's upcoming livestream though.

There was a mention of raising bond levels in a recent stream with Two, yeah? Wonder if we're getting something like Part 1's Salomon where higher bond level = Power Up bonus.

[Delastogos]

Wasn't that just him mentioning we should start getting Bond CEs from our favorite units? In reference to the rework those are getting.

It also won't be streamed online.

I didn't know they were planning to make improvements to bond 10 CEs, did they say anything specific?

It was in the Famitsu magazine interview. The Famitsu guy asked if there's any plans to improve bond CEs and 2-san said that they can't go into details rn but he recommends to unlock as many bond CEs as we can.

EDIT: Source:

- interviewer asks if they can increase stats on bond CEs, to which he says he can't go into details but that you should make sure to get bond CEs in the future because you'll probably want to use them
