When I got there I was so surprised that Daybit actually liked Pepe back.

There are still other Servants whose skills I want to max out, but I'm out of Lores. Unless there's another way, I'm gonna have to wait till next Event for some. Bummer.
On the other side I have too many lore. Even after maxing out every SSR, even the ones I never use like Holmes, and all the lower rarity waifus I still have 50+.

Gray just needs one more of each gold Fou type to be 2k/2k. I could buy the two from the rare prism shop but I have 5 rare prisms and getting both gold Fous would cost 6 total. Guess I'm waiting for Christmas.
So I am dumb ass. I rolled 2 Skadi, while trying to get the 5 star ce cause I don't have one. Went ahead and fed my monthly XP to her, cause I want in on these Skadi quick memes meta, then I forget I started leveling her. Next day, continue to roll for the 5 star CE, GET ANOTHER SKADI, and spend my evening grinding XP to feed her. I leveled the new Lvl 1 one, forgetting I leveled my first one, and now I have a love 63 Skadi, Np 1, and a lvl 52 Np 2. I feel stupid...really I should have just stopped when I rolled the first Skadi with my 11 tickets...Sorry I wanted to brag about that after doing something quite dumb.
Is there any point to keeping a separate leveled support servant? Since I do have two that are kind of leveled now, I am wondering if I should just keep going and level both and just Skadi system without help from friends so I can use their DPS servants in place of mine. With the current XP Super and Great Success up, it would be easier.
I can count on my hand how many double Skadi I used since I don't have many/any quick loopers. Skadis NP did help me during the last Gil fest. Her anti death (this was to me her most helpful) with evade and defense used with Merlin or Tamamo for healing were very useful.
WTF, I'm down to 20 (with very few 10^3 Servants) and have been rationing the rest to make sure I have enough for future investments. I know I've missed a few from ladder events and such, but damn.

Some support Servants (Chen Gong comes to mind) benefit from keeping a level 1 copy around for when you just want them to drop buffs and die right away, but Skadi is not really one of them.

I somehow managed not to do all the CQs last GilFest. It was not a good time. First time since the first Moon Festival, I think, that I didn't complete everything.

The confrontation with Arjuna fell completely flat, like holy shit what a fail.
I'll admit that I have never been interested in the karjuna rivalry and haven't been too thrilled to watch it for like the third time, but even accounting for my disinterest, this is just bad.
Super Karna has to be the least cerimonial transformation I've ever seen. We literally just pause all tension and watch him get a thing from Rama on our way to the final boss, it doesn't even happen in any sort of climatic moment.
Then after their fight we have to watch Karna convince him that no, having every power of literally every god in their pantheon wasn't enough because......... points at selfinsert-kun
He doesn't have friends like we do! You can't be a god all alone!!
Fuck off, don't even try to shoehorn Ever Present Feeling into this scene.
Now that you point that out, it bugs me. The reason why Chaldea could beat Altjuna is due to figuring out the source of his power, which was tipped off by a third party. And the whole journey was basically degrading Altjuna as we upgrade Karna. Personally, would've been better if they instead point out that his way of achieving 'perfection' is false, and that even he himself is flawed, as proven by the outcome of the fight. Had he acknowledged it, Chaldea would've had worse chance on beating him.
And I headcanon that Karna was actually pointing to Jinako instead.
Okay, LB4 finished.
Overrall, not a lot of strong feeling about the story one way or another, save my hate for the karjuna fight and my love for everything Pepe. What a guy. I hope we get to see a lot more of him.
Nezha and her ganguro sister are completely forgettable. Tell was okay but really only had one good scene, same thing for Asclepius, Lakshmi Bai... a lot of one scene wonders in this one. Even Jinako was insufferable except for her one scene.
Rama got to show off though, I feel like I have a much better grasp of his character now.
Arjuna Alter is definitely the worst Lostbelt king by far. It's not even a contest. I was as bored as he is every time he showed up on screen.
Highlights of the chapter are the incredible duo of Pepe and Ash, Koyanskaya as always and the fucking Daybit cameo I'm still thinking about.
I gotta say that I miss having a compelling Lostbelt-local alongside us. Patxi and Gerda were pretty crucial in getting me to care about the people in the Lostbelt, and Patxi was specially great, but since then... SIN just didn't have any and Yuga Kshetra has the irrelevant little girl that I just don't care about.

The worst part is that this is kinda what Karna was getting at, but the argument started with the weak friendship stuff so I couldn't bring myself to care.
I don't know, I'd put less than good Godjuna over sleepy boy Ivan.
Thinking of it, was LB1 the only one that went right for the Crypters? Ana was influencing Ivan and without Chaldea, would have had control over the whole thing. LB2 had the Crypters servant out to destroy it, LB3 the Crypter didn't give a shit what happened to the world, and LB4 was pegged as unviable from pretty much the get go.

Really? Ivan doesn't do a lot throughout the story but I was wholly invested in his character by the end just because of the entire plot around him. The chapter did a good job of building up how scary he was and the amount of planning that went into Kadoc's betrayal really solidified him as a threat. His final stand against us was great too.
Arjuna on the other hand appears constantly but only to spew out reticences. The absurdidity of his powerlevel actually works against him because I know he can't actually come after us until we solve that so he ends up being the least threatening presence of his own Lostbelt. The poor dude doesn't get a single interesting line of dialogue.
Arjuna's definitely the weakest Lostbelt King and weakest link in LB4. I get the idea with all his divinity basically turning him into an empty shell, but as a result it meant he didn’t have a lot of presence or character. He was basically just a conflict, not so much a character.
On the other end of the spectrum, Jinako's big scene is a top 10 FGO scenes for me.
