got skadi YOSH!!

i decided to do a dumb and have a try on the other 2 swimsuit gacha, got 1 protomerlin and ibuki too!

me satisfied

Holy! That's big! Grats!

[Deathhappens]

I mean... you got all the SSR's, lol.

[Petrikow]

For the record, I managed to get every single summer Servant in the end. It took me less than 200 Quartz

[castor212]

Holy! That's big! Grats!

admittedly not to somebody's level here who i believe got much more with much less quartz?

- - - Updated - - -

but yeah, im super happy with this
averaging to 1 SSR per 300ish quartz, so i think i hit the statistic average?

- - - Updated - - -

oh its petrikow lmaooo

[manafusion]

I mean, at least it's better than me. I spent a total of 3 packs and like 660 SQ? Got 5 SSR spooks and 1 Proto Merlin from that.

[Oz1337]

Good luck to those rolling for Skadi, I can guarantee pity but I would rather use it on somebody I really want, and I'm sure I will not use her at all even if I get her.

Btw, CQ is available. They keep on insisting on adding gimmicks that only exist to prevent 3 turns. This time, they have done this by making the rest of the Servants in this fight not appear until you break a bar, and only one spawns at a time unless you reach the final bar for Valkyrie (the main boss). The fight is easy, but I find this way of handling min turns very lazy.

[castor212]

....does Ibuki actually nearly outperform summer Musashi in practically every aspect
even at differing NP level

[Oz1337]

Apparently yes, taking into account the amount of people writing threads and creating Youtube videos about this.

[Aozaki-desu]

the immense butthurt over musashi ibuki debacle is probably the best thing about this event

[AmADo VII]

there'd be rant everywhere if Ibuki perform less than Musashi.

[castor212]

jesus christ mate
am looking at her kits rn and she's overloaded as hell

[Aozaki-desu]

She is easily the best Arts farmer available RN

[Oz1337]

Honestly if I had Musashi and liked her I wouldn't even care that Ibuki was better. Same if Ibuki had been worse than Musashi on release.

If anything the war I would start is why Ibuki is a better waifu than Musashi LOL. But as a responsible adult I know not to start fights that will never end with somebody's victory, only with victims.

[manafusion]

Summer Musashi has some aspects that make her better than Summer Ibuki. But only in CQs. As a farming looper, Summer Ibuki dunks on Summer Musashi.

[Castellan]

I think it shows the difference between an Arts looper that wasn't designed with Castoria in mind and without a lot of Arts farming data to pull on (Musashi) vs. one that definitely was (Ibuki.)

Of course it's a single player game and the meta is fake so people getting up in arms about it are extremely funny.

[Aozaki-desu]

meta is only fake while you play manually
once you are tired of that making one-size-fits-all party is actually pretty important

I agree that people getting up in arms over meta is dumb. After all, the only "meta" that people need to worry about are their list of support options.

[Nikiri]

250 rolls to get Skadi (also NP3 Wu; also i hit my desk when Astraea appeared, never thought I would do that)
30 rolls for Altera and then in the next 10 roll got Ibuki, no Erice


so overall this summer 380 rolls for Skadi and Ibuki + 2 spooks (Altera, Tametomo); got 450sq left


i can feel summer kama banner coming right after this event

No, it's still fake. Once you've reached the efficiency threshold (i.e being able to use a reliable 3t farming setup) there's nowhere to go anymore. You can't hit past that efficiency ceiling.
And even then Ibuki isn't one-size-fits-all, she'll struggle on nodes with enemy counts below 3 unless you sandbag NP charges and if they're simultaneously of a class that's hard to loop on it'll become even more of a pain in the neck. In that case you'd be better off with a Buster team, but a Buster team (ironically for the damage-focused NP type) might often struggle with some of the damage caps that Arts characters can reach because of easy access to Black Grail.

If you want a one-size-fits-all team you're better off with Arc + double Vitch due to lacking that weakness of being locked out of using Black Grail, but even then you're dealing neutral damage rather than being able to utilize class advantage on damage, so it's still going to be somewhat scuffed.

And either way you can ignore both of them and grail Chen Gong and get a result that's pretty similar if you have the supports to pull it off and not be out however many hundreds of quartz you earmarked for Musashi or Ibuki.

"The meta" doesn't exist. It's induced FOMO in a game with an optimization ceiling as your only real hurdle to reach.

[Deathhappens]

She is easily the best Arts farmer available RN

AND apparently a very solid semi-support, to boot.

Targeted CDR+card buffs+AoE Charisma/Crit Strength/NP gain is strong, go figure.

The only winning move is not to play.
