[FGO JP Event] Chaldea Faerie Knight Cup

[Laserman]

Britomart's ascensions

Spoiler:

They only keep the armor for one ascension? Boo

Well, at least they look nice I guess. And the armor itself is really cool.

[castor212]

Can farm and do the exhibition matches, can't read the story.

Wait that's actually not bad

[Oz1337]

So castor already mentioned this in the General thread, but apparently this event only lasts for two weeks instead of three, for some reason.

Can anyone check what the base drop count is on 90+ quest node? I see 90++ having 3 mats/tickets per drop.

[Aozaki-desu]

>843k orion in 90++ node
okay lol i guess oberon it is

- - - Updated - - -

okay 4t Arc strategy massively overkills Oberon, Morgan can sit this one out
and by sit this one out i mean she can chill in the backline while Arc does all the work
although i suppose thats not enough CE cost room, so i guess not
both Da Vinci and Morgan are out for this node

[manafusion]

I tried using Fionn and thought he might work but I didn't manage to get my loop off well since I don't have his 2nd Append and battery maxed. Tried using Hephaestion for W2 and I needed quite a bit more damage. NP3 Hephaestion wasn't cutting it. I'm sure I have other options I could run but those are in the same boat as Fionn where their battery and 2nd Append aren't leveled. Summer Tamamo is an option that I could run, if I bothered to level her 2nd Append.

[Aozaki-desu]

And Kiara can handle 90++ node as well. Sweet. I need that first CE though, i'm 2% short on refund.

[InsertNameHere]

Maybe they're trying to justify it being attributed to OG Britomart, not her. But since she's her daughter it means... yeah.

There was also that one time where Britomart had an affair with Amoret, but it apparently didn't count because they were both women (the stanza says they slept together, and IIRC the wording implies that it was sexual). Hooray for Elizabethan double standards, I guess?

[castor212]

was kinda scared to check the jp site main page, but this event, mechanic wise, is it literally just a standard lotto event? no weird shenanigans?

[Kamera]

It's not even a week and I already forgot Pretend Eliza exists. Makes the 90++ node more bearable, but still not worth it compared to just going full ticket CE in the 90+ node honestly.

Cant find any reference to britomart the 2nd nor cant find any mention of OG britomart having a child.

Anyone have any source?

F/GO:

[Hermitfold]

A big boobed elven knight?!

Horribly cliche of me I know, but thinking real hard about rolling for her when the time comes.

[Reign]

It's a bit crude but I'd be lying if I said that final ascension art wasn't basically drawn for me.

There is no source, it's straight up made up for FGO.

Furthermore, the knightess Britomart in the epic poem "The Faerie Queen" was a human until the very end, but in this work, the setting of Britomart is that she "gave herself over to the fairies at Fairy Queen Gloriana's behest after her adventures.
[...]
In other words, after her adventures, the knightess Britomart metamorphosed into a Fairy Knight, and she nurtured her love for her fated companion, Arthegall...and then, she gave birth to her fated, beloved children.
One was Aurelius Conanus, a future king of Britain in the "Historia Regum Britanniae".
The other shared the same name of Britomart. Born of a fairy mother, she was a Fairy Knight from birth.

Also her armor isn't taken from her greek counterpart through syncretism, it's the armor she gets in the poem, inherited from the saxon queen Angela, so it just looks mecha-like because cool.

Bond 1 profile says:

Source: The Faerie Queene, Fate/Grand Order, others.

Huh, of all the things to be namedropped in this event, I was not expecting a reference to the Lion's Whelp.

Certainly a curious choice to tie the Faerie Queene to the Historia Regum Britanniae.

[DrStein]

I'm incredibly curious *why* they made this character.

There's a million other options for characters they could spend resources on, even if they did specifically want a generic fantasy waifu for some reason.

She's literally just British Bradamante. It seems like they're not even bothering with syncretism shenanigans.

[Petrikow]

For some reason, the place where this Event takes place (the 'Athletic Zone') has this kanji ateji spelling. It's kinda kooky:
明日（アス/asu）霊（レ/re）血（チ/chi）古（ク/ku）・園（ゾーン/zone）
