New Servants
Begins tomorrow.
I wish the best of luck to all ye EN people.
And also, please post your salt from fighting the bosses.
That's it for the new Servants? They're forgetting someone.
Though I suppose it's too spoiler-ish.
That's banner 2, they never real banner 2 early.

If I end up wrecking it with just my normal crew I'll be really disappointed.

I forgot Musashi was there and never helped us. Instead saying she would aid us at Olympus.
There's our in-game excuse for the forced support gimmick.
Pretty intense prologue, and now not only Nemo, but also Da Vinci are out of commission. Swell.
Wow I got the second Talos fight down to 20k before it killed me.
Get a defensive support for one turn, stun him in the next and then get Musashi's NP up for when she swallows his buffs in the third
I cheesed out Talos + Dioscuri with True Orion. Boy am I grateful for being able to nab him.
On another note, Demeter down. And yep, the fight is as absurd as people claimed it to be. took me many retries to beat her without CS.
So my setup is Skadi, Ushiwakamaru, Caenis(duh), Santagale, Ryouma, and Paracelsus. For those who have Ridertoki, this might be less hard.
-The key here is to equip two specific CCs on your frontline Rider DPS, namely; Law of Creation and Disciple's Command Seal. Demeter tend to cast double DEF Up a few times during the fight, which reduces your damage to zero, so those two CCs help removing them before you use NP or critting. I put them on Ushi.
-Next up, party-wide Buff Removal and Buff Block on first break. Santagale is my solution to that gimmick. I had her second Skill maxed out to counter the Buff Removal so Ushi still keeps her buffs, and her first Skill helps cleanse the Buff Block.
-Ryouma is the unexpected MVP in my setup. His NP is strong, loopable with face cards, and it often reduces Demeter's NP to keep her from using it.
-Caenis doesn't do much, but her third skill could debuff Demeter with ATK Down, so it helps the team surviving somewhat, as long as Demeter's Debuff Immunity isn't up.
All in all, it was a fairly good run. Ushi's NP comes out more often than expected, and it could close to entirely break Demeter's bar without Skadi's Quick buff, so I saved it until Ushi's current buffs wear off to prolong the offense.
I like Adele's design a lot.
Ushiwakamaru is indeed very good for Demeter. IIRC, she's the Servant almost inevitably used for every low-rarity run of that boss.
Maifrendo is a decent option as well, but mine is underleveled.
Day One thoughts:
-Thank god the normal soldiers don't all have break bars. After the second one I was expecting the last node on that chapter to be three soldiers with high HP and break bars. Just normal guy + Orb was so much easier than expected.
-When you heard the rumbling start, did anyone else start humming Attack on Titan's 1st OP? Yang and Tamamo did pretty well against it though. Lead to a pretty funny "You burned me? Well, I'll burn you" trade off in the second break bar. Did that defence buff disappear once the first bar breaks? Because Yang went from doing 89k to 250k from on NP to the next. Do more burns mean more damage? Do Tamamo or Yang have a Buff Clear ability I've never noticed?

No, it's just a yes/no check on "is it burning?".
Yuyu deals increased damage to burned enemies.
Okay... wasn't expecting to run into Koyanskaya this early into the story. I thought 'that fight' would happen at least after dealing with Aphrodite. So, strategy-sharing time.
surprise boss
Aphrodite down. Thankfully, Friend Supports are available, making this much more manageable than with Demeter. Just fields all-Caster team with Friend Waver, and Asclepius is crucial for tanking her debuffs. My DPSs were Circe and Nero, with Nero survived until the very end. Basically, I usedto take downNeroVenus.AphroditeVenus
Imagining Ushiwaka fighting Demeter like her Tiamat fight in the anime, parkouring and flash stepping all over the city.
That's a pretty cool imagery ngl. We could see Caenis doing just that in the trailer.
So we fought Dioscuri yet again, right after Aphrodite. Talos isn't with them this time, instead they're accompanied with many mobs. It's way easier without worrying about Burn status. My NP2 Napoleon works nicely against Dioscuri, beating them in just two turns and then focusing on the remaining mobs.
Unrelated to the fight. Can't help but think that other than being native allies in Olympus, Macarios and Adele also serve as foils to the Dioscuri, as the temperamental brother and level-headed sister twins. Wouldn't be surprising if they're also voiced by the Uchida siblings, which is even more fitting since they have exact same relationship as them, with the older one is the sister.
