[EN] Lostbelt 5: Atlantis: Ancient Ocean of the Dreadnought Gods (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

[OnesFleetingGlory]

I see. Lets see how hard they are gonna be. This is my Chaldea atm. Ofc, I will 10/10/10 Ozy during lotto, add Good Wife Wise Fox CC on OG Nero, Jeanne Heal CC on Nero Caster and Critical CCs on Hercules. I also have Lobo, Circe and Salieri at 8/8/8 and Xuanzang at 5/1/5.

Nice. BCE Herc is a really good last-man-standing type of Servant. Ozy is a good pick for the Caster boss, and Caster Nero, Xuanzang, and Circe work for the Assassin one. Chloe is a really great ST Archer despite being a welfare. Bride and OG Nero are decent Sabers too. Lobo and Salieri will help for the Ruler fight.

Thanks! I forgot to mention that I also have Martha (Rider) NP3, Marie NP1 and Ushi NP1 for LB5.2. Basically next LB should be easy for me I believe.

[OnesFleetingGlory]

You're welcome. Things to watch out for are the debuffs and Evade/Invincible. Martha is good to cleanse the debuffs, and Circe too. Asclepius is a budget cleanser. Xuanzang also has Debuff Immunity to prevent the debuffs. And also, Sure Hit and Ignore Invul CEs for Servants who don't have those Skills.

Finally finished. While the story was aces, the battles themselves were a bit lacklustre. I breezed through the last few nodes, brute forcing the first with it's Invul, wrecking the second with Umu Caster and support Merlin, and taking down the final without even needing to rez like most Lostbelt finales. Poor Chiron, he thought killing Eresh was gonna help him, but it just brought out my maxed Scathach who was sitting in the back row farming bond points. I think the only time I had to redo a node was the stall fight with Achilles, and that was only because I didn't know they were stall fights, or that Chiron's NP pierces Invul.

Where was Europa though? She's on the banner, but doesn't even show up in the story? An Odyseus banner would make more sense rather than her.

[OnesFleetingGlory]

She's in Olympus. And Odysseus is planned to debut in White Day Event.

- - - Updated - - -

Maybe back in the day, they thought that two new Servants(SSR and R) aren't hype enough for a main story campaign, so they added Europa. Adding either Caenis and/or Dioscuri who's on the opposing side at the time wouldn't make sense since the conflict with them wasn't over yet in Atlantis, while Europa is a PHH Servant, so it's more logical for her to answer Chaldea's summoning. That's my guess though.

- - - Updated - - -

That said, this means next banner will be double SSR Riders, since she shares it with Achilles. That means Europa might spook people who aim for him.

[NeroFan]

As I said Europa will have a banner with Achilles.

[Mattias]

Yeah but why not put Odyseus on the second Atlantis Banner? It's not like every event needs a new SSR on the Banner, so the White Day/Aegean Sea events could still run with him. And as the main villain of the chapter it would be fitting to have him on the second banner, just like Ivan, Sig, QSH, and Altjuna. Heck that pattern was why I was expecting the Olympus Lancer to be a villain, before people corrected me.

I agree most battles were easy to win though their was one I don't think is possible if so I'd love to see a link. I did have to re battle the last one, though that was more just bad luck since I couldn't art chain Space Ishtra and Chiron kept using evade in the end 3 times in a row then used NP. I also only used CE that boost Bond, EXP or outfit gain.

Because reconfiguring the data to add a character who is 3 other new units ahead will be a bigger pain in the ass than just moving someone who is already in the data to banner two?

2 years ago people just assumed Odyseus wasnt finished in time for release. And that's also why you dont fight him in game.

[OnesFleetingGlory]

Man, just imagine how hype the battles climax story would've been if he's complete in Atlantis;

Spoiler:

He could've resorted to his mecha NP before dying, and have it on autopilot, of which LB Odysseus had gained from absorbing PHH version, as Storm Border's penultimate obstacle before dealing with Poseidon.

Could've been one heck of a battle.

DW is run by monkeys throwing buckets of water on the electrical fires of their servers, please understand.

Of course, but it probably stems from Atlantis not being a planned part of the story until quite late, unlike Olympus.

Now This, this makes sense.

[Lobo]

I remember Nasu saying LB5 was planned to be a two parter from the start though (can't remember if an interview or his blog), LB6&7 are the ones that the script is so big they decided later on to split their release into parts

[Comun]

That's true for 6, but we don't know about 7 yet.

[mami-kouga]

On one hand, I struggle to imagine Nasu showing restraint. On the other hand, it's Camelot so him going 1000000% on it was also not that much of a surprise.

[Mattias]

That's true for 6, but we don't know about 7 yet.

Is there an ETA yet for LB7? I assumed it would some time this month so they can do a wrap up story for new years, like Solomon or Prologue, but it's looking like there's going to be another year until the end of Part 2.

I think there was a stream that said it’d be some time next year.

[Mattias]

Yikes so unless they pull out a 7.5 or 8th LB, there may be only one story chapter next year?


I guess they could also time it to finish around the anniversary too.
