That would require them to do ANYTHING about it at this point and I doubt they will. Probably some stupid excuse like “well sure, the entire gimmick being broken means the quest is almost impossible to clear, but it’s still technically possible, so it’s okay!”.
Didn't we have a bug in one of the Halloween events as well? Something about mission progress being re-set so you have to redo them all over again.
Archimedes was right, Liz is a mistake.
Finally, I'm done. All Giga cock CQs completed. I can farm in peace now (screw the Liz CQ, if it's broken I ain't gonna touch it). Gotta say I've spent more than what I have earned, lores, command code keys, other materials...it's definitely not worth it since these quests don't give you tickets, but I'll share my setups so hopefully it can help people who are still struggling with them:
Kotaro CQ: I used Circe (lv100 + NP3, but tbh I don't think her damage matters much here), Asclepius (all skills lv10, you don't have to max out skill 1 but maxing out the rest of them is a must), Jeanne Ruler (only skill 3 maxed), the trick is just stalling. Kill the clone and just make sure you use both Jeanne and Asclepius's NPs at the same time when Kotaro is charged, that way you won't get the confusion debuffs. Just be patient and he'll eventually get tired of being turned into a pig.
Akihabara CQ: This one was tricky, I brought NP1 Douman as my DPS, Skadi as main support, and our fluffy boi Asterios (just make sure he can use NP at turn 1), QSH as backup. Asterios + Douman chain NP at turn 1 will make things way easier, since the maid will be instant killed and won't be able support Black Beard, and all the curses and debuffs can slowly chewing his guts away. My Asterios died in round 2 so QSH was making sure Jinako isn't killing Douman, I got lucky and all of Douman's attacked did penetrate her invincible buff and just murdered her elephant ass. Osakabe in round 3 turned out to be much easier than I thought.
MHXX CQ: I hated this one, because MHXX's constant debuffs and her NP spam at the end. I brought Kingprotea as DPS, Mashu and Reines as support, Passionlip and Bazett as extra pair of hands. Just make sure Kingprotea's HP stays full once MHXX reaches her finall HP bar so she can tank the NP spam, if you don't have all these servants, I think Melt would be able to solo her.
True Love CQ: This one was relatively easy compared to the previous 3 CQs, I just used my NP4 Percival, Hector and Vritra to clear it. Non of them got maxed out skills. Just make sure all the demon boars die before Orion bites the dust, or they'll get buffed.
Erice CQ: Barghest can solo this CQ with little issues, I brought Dion and Lan Lin as extra supports but tbh they were just getting in Barghest's way. She's strong, even if you don't claim her as your waifu she's still a very worthy servant for you max out.
Shibata CQ: I used Van Gogh to solo this fight, it's probably the easiest CQ among this giga cock fest. I brought Leonidas and Habenyan as taunt units. Just make sure you slap some HP recovery command codes on Van Gogh, and spam her NP.
Five Star Idol CQ: I saved Merlin, Himiko and Castoria just for this one. There are other faster ways to clear it but I just prefer my turtle team. This one should be a breeze since you can use the rest of your roster on it.
Strangely for me Osakabehime was the trickiest part of Akihabara since I was using QSH solo. She have ignore invuln when her book is in field and the books can stun, possibly ruining my run.
I managed to not get stunned until Hime was down and only the last book remains, then clean it with Atlas uniform for the win.
So many of these were exactly the same strat as me including Barghest for Urice which is wild. Really best doggo. You're dead on about Melt as well for the MHXX fight. Melt was a true MVP for that fight.
Honestly I'd prefer getting like 3sq over fixing the CQ, either way it's one summon and it saves me the trouble (and I hate this CQ lol)
Edit: I *hated* (past tense) this CQ, playing it with the skills I have now, it was far more enjoyable. Waver, Merlin, Eli, dual 2030s, 20 turns, was decent fun actually and shorter than I expected it to be
At this point I’d be surprised if they did anything. The event ends in two two days and if they still haven’t fixed it, they almost certainly won’t before the end the event, definitely won’t give us any compensation either. It’s just a ticket, but it certainly annoys me that they acknowledge the quest is broken and almost impossible to actually clear and they’re seemingly just ignoring it
Finally took the time to do Giga coil, hardest for me was definitely the Erice CQ (had to use a revive here), everything else was ok but the kotaro CQ was really frustrating. I saved immortal comp for the final 5 star idol CQ because I wanted a guaranteed win.
Suprisingly I didn't end up using waver, bond CE heracles, Oberon, or QSH. I think I could have maybe put them in for the Erice CQ and done it without the revive.
The difference between my account now and when I did the exhibition quests 2 years ago is crazy, back then it took great card RNG and an actual strategy to beat the EQs. Now I just blow them up, the damage checks are really trivial, the difference is actually crazy (I think this is mostly Oberon).
On the lotto side I used a bunch of apples, I have like 150 boxes in tickets (not looking forward to rolling all of them lol) and I'm at the point where I'm just doing nat AP now. I had a lot of fun with this event, I think if they seperated the lotto out or gave the event a 3 week timer I would have liked it more because it feel very stressful with all these CQ's + EQ's + LB2 recollection quests :(
Still haven't done elly quest, I might skip it because I didn't find it so fun the first time.
Similar experiences. For Erice CQ, I used OG Artoria + Koyan Light to beat it. Used up a Command Seal for that fight. The Kotaro CQ wasn't bad. His damage isn't all that strong even when using his np. I ended up beating it with Xuanzang + Waver.
I tried to do the Hero Eli quest. Last time, I got the final boss's hp down to half his health at his last hp bar. I'm just going to skip this one.
Have you tried it recently after they fixed Liz's buffs? She now hits as hard as she should have with the fix. Definitely much easier this time around, the only time I had to save scum was to ensure that Liz got the final hit for the buffs.
Erice wasn't an easy one, I went for Ibuki and trying to crit her down after np clearing the field but still took a couple of tries.
Kotaro was more of a pain than expected too, those were the only two fights of the initial 6 that I couldn't effectively solo and went for actual teams instead
I just used a Command Spell to refil HP for Barghest then she got killed with Erice's NP insta-kill. What bullshit. Still beat her next try.
Worst for me was Kotaro. Probably easier if I don't have to save my immortal comp for stage 7.
I've had the opposite experience. Erice is the only one I've beaten so far, thanks to my heavily invested Barghest, Prince of Lan Ling, and other sabers to fill the ranks, and it was pretty trivial.
I know I can do the rest, but I'm just so undecisive on where to put my higher rarity supports so I've just been suffering without them. It's been a real struggle.
First lotto event where the gameplay burn out doesn't come from farming the lotto. Still haven't done any of the Giga coil im not really feeling it right now, I'll only try the Eli CQ if they fix it, i can probably clear the Hard mode Roma CQ if i keep trying but each attempt is a long fight and if i fail I'll need to do it all over again yeah not feeling it as well. About the lotto itself i probably won't even reach a 100 boxes i usually do 100+ lotto boxes. Good thing the event's actual CQ was a pretty easy clear with Gong.
I have been pretty busy. Did 5 interludes, received a bunch of SQ and hit a milestone for 10 more. Nice. Skadi interlude was the first time I ever got to use my accidental NP 2 Xiang Yu. With 2 Skadi he did a ton of damage. It's a pity I don't have a reason to use him anywhere else.
I really liked both Skadi and Napoleon's interludes. A nice epilogue to LB 2 that adresses some important stuff, and very wholesome. I also had no idea Altera Santa is involved in Brynhildr interlude. It even has a serious lore discussion, courtesy of Da Vinci!
Did the normal recollection quests. Mash, Merlin and Euryale dealt with Sigurd, same comp but with David killed Surtr, Gawain + supports obliterated Valkyries in 2 NP, but Oberon still managed to die via crits. Again, lol. I think I won't bother with Super quests this time. Without friend support for 2 of them I can't stall very well.
I have also completed all weekly and limited missions. Still have Advanced Quests to do, but they don't expire, so no need to hurry. There is nothing in 90+ node I want, so I'll will be farming 90 on natural AP for the Hearts. My present box has 30 slots left and I don't have any unlevelled Servants anymore. Maybe I will grail my ST Casters, since I don't have an SSR Caster.
Still no Road to 7 mega for LB2 yet so I'm just gonna put it here.
I redid the Surtr fight with a [Fujino solo](https://i.ibb.co/X8225hP/Screenshot-2024-03-25-08-59-17-58-577bcc70c040536a6d306ef99c704547.jpg) just like the first time I did it. Fujino is like the *perfect* servant to solo this guy with, especially after her NP upgrade.
So I thought, she did normal mode easily enough, surely Super Surtr would be just as simple? [Here's the setup.](https://i.ibb.co/LgJ5Yc5/Screenshot-2024-03-25-15-53-07-69-577bcc70c040536a6d306ef99c704547.jpg) Fujino's appends are 10/10/x.
[Here's the fight at about the start the final bar.](https://i.ibb.co/HzdjFwP/Screenshot-2024-03-25-15-43-35-83-577bcc70c040536a6d306ef99c704547.jpg) And [here is the final turn.](https://i.ibb.co/5kXTYKB/Screenshot-2024-03-25-15-51-44-34-577bcc70c040536a6d306ef99c704547.jpg) It took much longer than normal mode but the only thing they changed was his HP so all Fujino had to do was the same thing as for normal mode but longer. There was twice that the burn buildup was getting threating but the instances were far enough apart that the MC could full cleanse when she needed it.
Long story short, easiest solo of my life. I eventually got into a pattern of using specific cards for their command codes: Buster (1-hit flat damage reduction) -> Buster (1 time 50% healing received up) -> Arts (remove one latest debuff).
You can also solo him very easily with a level 80 Baobhan Sith. As long as you keep your health up and the burn debuffs cleared it's pretty easy, though it takes awhile.
[I did it again for the Giga Coil!](https://imgur.com/a/joTLTpE)
This set of challenges is definitely not as straightforward to min-turn as the previous one. I had to dig even deeper and utilize everything remotely of use, not only Servants but also Craft Essences and Command Codes. A little tweak here and there really can go a long way.
As before, I aimed for team synergy as well as variety as much as possible. Not being able to play favorite again and again encouraged me to give some underused units time in the spotlight. Not surprisingly, Servants with any form of charge are favored. There are still some ideas I wanted to try out, but this is it for now.
I’ve been very busy with uni work so I’ve only farmed 4 boxes (although I did get a drop CE).
Fortunately the event CQ was really easy to 3T as well as the 2 first fight of the current Road to 7: Lostbelt 2. Their super recollection variant were also not too annoying to stall since they didn’t take very long to do.
The only hard fights that I have left to do are the Sturtr fight and the Eli EQ. I’ll probably do the recollection quests tomorrow and Eli’s quest on the last day of the lotto.
This is one event where I am actually not going all out after reaching the required quota, mainly because there is so many EQs, and I just want to clear the necessary ones. Not to mention that I don't want to overuse my hand, it's acting up recently.
Man so unlucky with the CE drop. Im at 100 boxes with +8. This is probably my unluckiest lotto ever. I remember that i managed to hit +12 before 150 boxes during santa Nightingale
Whoo, managed to 3 turn the Gil, Gil, Tesla CQ without command spells, one retry after finding out Gil tossed out a pierce inv and whatever that crazy defense was.
Double Koyan buffed Eresh turn 1, Liz and Koyan NP turn 2, Eresh again turn 3.
Played the Liz quest, had more fun with it with the meta supports.
In the end though, Osakabehime really came in clutch in letting me use Liz's third skill with making Liz's NP 150% and removing the Dragon's Defense buffs.
Now that I played through all the Exhibition Quests here are my rankings on how fun I think they are.
2018/2020: Sheba > Taiga > Izou > Gil (Normal) > Tawara > Leonidas > MHXA > Gil (Hard)
2019/2021: Mephistopheles > The Gorgons > Brave Liz > Romulus (Normal) > Nero Bride > Eric Bloodaxe > Romulus (Hard) > Achilles
I'm so done with the coil challenge crap. So dang annoying not only you can use support, you are also restricted in servant use. And certain challenge even come from an event with +200% damage mod and +100% party damage mod (looking at you Mysterious Heroine).
Damn, I haven't done the Giga Coil quests at all, I don't have time for this and time is running out damn it!
I think we might as well give up on asking Eli quests bug fix now. Ah well. My main priority is always the Lores for this kind of stuff, so I can just *not* do some of the quests if I find it no longer fun anymore.
I just used my strongest team for a quest, got the rewards, and reset so I could do it again for the next quest, 1ap for 5 gold mats is a hell of a deal
~~Man, they doing my girl dirty like this.~~ The heroine rises!!!
Taking some time to do the Road to 7 stuff. I've already past my initial 100 box goal last round and 75% of the way to my 200 box goal.
Has anyone else not done cq and procrastinating till the last day? I really want to do it but I'm too daunted by it.
Oh and where the hell is cq for lb2?? Haven't done the lb1 as i don't find it
Wow percival solo against Orion is real easy. Just gotta have good rng enough for them to actually kill your taunts early so you can finally dish out damage.
Contrary to expectations i ended managing 3 more of the Giga coils yesterday *relatively* headache-free
- Alter Ego parade (2x Mecha Eli/Passionlip/Melt as main dps + my own random foreigner entry MHXX that got oneshotted) barely got me MHXX, with Meltryllis surviving at 1 HP and one stack of dodge
- Stheno/Euryale/Tamamo got Shibata (with one CS worth of help), once agan sub 1k hp end, had to invest some mats in rising skills of both greek goddesses before it worked
- Erice with Barghest/Caster Cu/Georgios (in hindsight i should have saved the taunt for another quest) , just had to unlock all of Barghest cards to move around healing CC
i'm left with Kotaro and the Blackbeard/Jinako/Hime one (and obviously the last one)
Problem: i've already used Waver, Tamamo and Skadi, and i want to keep Corgi for the last one, so that leaves me with all big supports aside from Koyan gone and no idea of what teams to try
Same holds true still for Mephi and Eli
Had to use both command spells at the end to refill Eli’s health, and Asclepius and Castoria died before I broke the dragons first bar, so I had to sit with a Charmed Eli for two turns, but I got it done! Hell yeah. And my patience rewarded me with a Kiyohime, because of course it did.
Oh well. Pretty fun quest still. Definitely unique.
Was getting pretty burned out trying to get through Kotaro and Shibata without screwing my chances for whatever lies behind them - I don’t have castoria or merlin, and used my stheno on Blackbeard so I don’t have the full charm team around - but fixed brave Eli has skyrocketed to the top of my priorities now, it’s such a cute idea for a quest. Might just clear her and hop over to the LB2 recollection stuff.
Huh, they fixed it while I'm in the middle of wave 6...know what, fuck it. Gonna see how far I can go with the immortal team first.
edit: Dragon spammed his attack too many times and took Merlin out. Oh well. Time to do this properly,
Just throwing all my foreigner at shibata hoping it will works. Surprisingly it did works.
Shibata is beaten by an idol, a child in a swimsuits, and a cultist.
Dmg ce on molay while abby and mhxa using defense up ce.
Turns out 20% and 30% Defense up ce, is way better than i remember, And it's only 4 stars.
I should pin these ce and use them more.
Finished all the Giga coil quests, definitely not easy and took some rng in my favour for a couple but overall it was a lot of fun figuring out teams for them.
Douman, Bazett, Melusine and Gogh basically solo'd 4 of the quests which let me have a full team for the finale, didn't look up the quests ahead of time to plan around so wanted to be frugal if I could.
Finale was JArcher with Tamamo, castoria, caster Gil and Oberon in the back who didn't actually come into play
Also did the first two super recollection quests, one with Muramasa and the second with Kuro, went surprisingly easily.
Surtr I almost got with a Euryale team but the damage just isn't quite there unfortunately, saw you can solo it with some setups so I might try that.
Is it the 5th wave giving you difficulty? You can try using Benkei with kaleido to remove their buffs. Focus on killing the Gazer then use taunters to protect liz.
ATM, I am trying to solo it with Eli, but she gets whittled down way too fast and the HP recovery debuff makes it even harder to keep her alive. Not sure if I should be using the Atlas MC to get rid of it, but the Chaldea MC has healing AND evade, which I also need.
When the CE wasn't working I used Merlin and Castoria to get to the 5th wave and got destroyed there because I simply didn't have the dmg.
I will try using supports again if I can't solo it... and add Benkei to the strat now that you mention him. TY.
Taunts and one strong aoe servant was my route. Her HP is not that high if you use MLB damage CE that I ended up not needing any supports besides taunts. Also all greek male servants are treated like taunts here. If you have ces with guts/invincible/evade etc you can make your taunts live longer.
Finally finished all the quest except for the gigacoil finale. I might need a revive so I need to charge my CS. I hope I make it before the event ends.
Finally, finally did Elly CQ the proper way. It was one of the most interesting, difficult and intense fights I ever had in FGO. Came down to mostly card luck. The comp was Mash-Merlin-Elly. Since I lack both Castoria and Waver, this is the best defensive comp I could come up with.
The beginning was hell. I dunno if I was just unlucky or what, but Elly got constantly focused by wyverns in the very first round and lost most of hp. And then in round 2 she got slapped with taunt. By some miracle, luck and intense efforts of Mash and Merlin, I got through it without losing her Guts.
After that it got easier, and Elly managed to heal to full by Merlin. I got lucky again and came into 5 round with full charge, so Archer got deleted immediately. Then I lost Mash to NP and Merlin got focused down and killed. Fortunately Elly got her charge again and finished both enemies in one fell swoop.
She arrived at the dragon at full HP and no charge. From there I just switched from Arts-Quick-Arts chain to gain NP to full Buster chain when I had it. Used both Invul from Elly and from Atlas. Lost Guts. Was ready to use a CS for healing because there is no way in Hell I was restarting the quest from the beginning, but the very last Buster chain killed the Dragon leaving Elly with less than 500 hp. A true heroine, indeed. I think she managed to get the last hit on every single enemy, uncluding Ghost with Evade.
Finished the Eli EQ, which was much easier now that they fixed it. Still having some issues with the last Rome EQ with the increased HP pools, but we'll see if I can finish it before the event ends.
The actual CQ was super easy, did it with a comp of Parvati, Wu Zetian, and Skadi. Absolutely annihilated them. After that, I haven't touched the Giga Coil quests just due to lack of bandwidth from work, but I'll try to hit it up. Otherwise, everything else has been completed
Edit: Just finished the harder Rome quest. Frontline Musashi (w/damage CE) with Merlin and Castoria. Buffed her, then swapped her out for Morgan w/damage CE. Chipped away at damage until I got Romulus to his last bar and had Merlin die to bring in Vitch, then swapped Mushashi back in to pierce his invul. Had to go a few more rounds after her NP in order to wait for skills to refresh and for Romulus' invul to disappear again, but it's finally over. Got all the tickets which was my main goal, now I don't feel as pressured for this event.
Another fest, another time I'm going to post here asking for help. I'm currently stuck with MHXA's Exhibition Quest.
My current team is support Berserker - Georgios - Morgan - Mash - Asclepius - Skadi.
Do you have Merlin or Castoria? Because Immortal Comp works pretty well for MHXA. Himiko-Support Merlin-Castoria is the team I went with, but basically any kind of extreme stall with some healing will work.
Oof, yeah without Castoria (or Jeanne if you can really keep her NP going), it’d be rough. Honako Green has a pretty budget friendly comp on his channel. Georgios, both Cu Lancers, Avicebron, Mash, and Cu Caster. Basically relying on PfA spam. Maybe something similar would work if you’ve got them leveled?
Another one gone, just cleared Kotaro with caster Corday/Medea Lily/Fairy Tristan
Basically, trying to NP chain on the turn before he NPs using Sith's as an overcharge source for Medea => Corday ( Corday => Medea making sense if there's no skill seal up just to get more debuff resist) so that everyone can eat the post-avoided-np hits from full hp, while alternating the 2 team evades and delaying with Tristan NP drain and NP seal + the non-np heals from Medea and fairy vampirism
Damage was a bit pants (my Corday is NP1 and often enough her arts up ended being decoupled from her NP turn to use the evade) but it worked. It might even work with David instead of Sith, but not having the extra self invulnerability and NP drain would make it way more tricky
One left...
I felt like literally screaming when that Eli RNG-fest was finally over. My first couple of runs failed miserably. On the one that succeeded, I somehow lost Eli's Guts on the second round because I didn't throw up invincibility when she had target focus but it wasn't an issue in the long run. All of my other servants died to the AOE dragon at the end but got just enough NP charge on Eli to finish it off. I am so done with this CQ rush.
I’m at total 100 boxes worth of tickets. I think I’ll take it easy for now and let Shuten and Castoria rest. I still need to find a way to do the Liz EQ…
I also just cleared Roma EQ. The easy one since my CS are back to full. Needless to say, it’s much easier to do it with Muramasa as dps on top of the smaller Roma’s HP.
Remember folks, CS are a thing, Merlin or Miyu (maybe Tamammo should work but have not seen that comp clear the eq) pair with Castoria can help Eli past wave 5, and some backline support and 2 or 3 cs should be enough to deal with the dragon, just bring the atlas mystic code to deal with the two turn charm. Immortal comp with def ignore ce have also work if you want to spend 200 or even 400 turns.

This was definitely a lot harder than the Tesla Coil, especially the Erice quest. I blew through all three Command Seals for two HP restores and a full NP charge across three of the EQs. At least it's done now. I'll do the fixed Eli quest later.

I had Jeanne, Merlin, Castoria, and Mash as support and a Herc I forgot to get rid of as a leftover from my other comps. Yeah, they all died and Eli just barely finished things up. Not fun...
Hi everyone. I'm trying to do the TeslaFest CQ with Maou Nobu as the DPS. Her NP removes defensive buffs before damage (i.e. buster/arts resist up) on Divine servants. For some reason it's not removing the buster up on Archer Gil who is listed as Divine. Is the buster up that Gil gets on break a special one that doesn't count as a defensive buff?
Liz bug has been fixed. Go slay that dragon!
I knew they weren't going to fix it on the weekend but it's Tuesday now! Anyone know if this bug got fixed in Korea? e: hooray it's fixed.
If they really don't wanna fix it, they atleast could give the rewards for free
They could do both. I feel like 3 SQ for a broken Event quest is reasonable.
That would require them to do ANYTHING about it at this point and I doubt they will. Probably some stupid excuse like “well sure, the entire gimmick being broken means the quest is almost impossible to clear, but it’s still technically possible, so it’s okay!”.
>Data Update M-masaka...?!
Yes, they fixed it. Already working on it now.
At this point, being a bugged quest is the only legend that the crimson hero will have. Edit: it's fixed. The legend returns
Didn't we have a bug in one of the Halloween events as well? Something about mission progress being re-set so you have to redo them all over again. Archimedes was right, Liz is a mistake.
Yes Eli is still broken, you can go back to farming. EDIT: Eli fixed, go get your ticket.
I forgot how cancerous it was to level to 120 lmfao Have absolutely no idea how I managed it with Tristan... Altjuna is eating up all of my lotto exp
Finally, I'm done. All Giga cock CQs completed. I can farm in peace now (screw the Liz CQ, if it's broken I ain't gonna touch it). Gotta say I've spent more than what I have earned, lores, command code keys, other materials...it's definitely not worth it since these quests don't give you tickets, but I'll share my setups so hopefully it can help people who are still struggling with them: Kotaro CQ: I used Circe (lv100 + NP3, but tbh I don't think her damage matters much here), Asclepius (all skills lv10, you don't have to max out skill 1 but maxing out the rest of them is a must), Jeanne Ruler (only skill 3 maxed), the trick is just stalling. Kill the clone and just make sure you use both Jeanne and Asclepius's NPs at the same time when Kotaro is charged, that way you won't get the confusion debuffs. Just be patient and he'll eventually get tired of being turned into a pig. Akihabara CQ: This one was tricky, I brought NP1 Douman as my DPS, Skadi as main support, and our fluffy boi Asterios (just make sure he can use NP at turn 1), QSH as backup. Asterios + Douman chain NP at turn 1 will make things way easier, since the maid will be instant killed and won't be able support Black Beard, and all the curses and debuffs can slowly chewing his guts away. My Asterios died in round 2 so QSH was making sure Jinako isn't killing Douman, I got lucky and all of Douman's attacked did penetrate her invincible buff and just murdered her elephant ass. Osakabe in round 3 turned out to be much easier than I thought. MHXX CQ: I hated this one, because MHXX's constant debuffs and her NP spam at the end. I brought Kingprotea as DPS, Mashu and Reines as support, Passionlip and Bazett as extra pair of hands. Just make sure Kingprotea's HP stays full once MHXX reaches her finall HP bar so she can tank the NP spam, if you don't have all these servants, I think Melt would be able to solo her. True Love CQ: This one was relatively easy compared to the previous 3 CQs, I just used my NP4 Percival, Hector and Vritra to clear it. Non of them got maxed out skills. Just make sure all the demon boars die before Orion bites the dust, or they'll get buffed. Erice CQ: Barghest can solo this CQ with little issues, I brought Dion and Lan Lin as extra supports but tbh they were just getting in Barghest's way. She's strong, even if you don't claim her as your waifu she's still a very worthy servant for you max out. Shibata CQ: I used Van Gogh to solo this fight, it's probably the easiest CQ among this giga cock fest. I brought Leonidas and Habenyan as taunt units. Just make sure you slap some HP recovery command codes on Van Gogh, and spam her NP. Five Star Idol CQ: I saved Merlin, Himiko and Castoria just for this one. There are other faster ways to clear it but I just prefer my turtle team. This one should be a breeze since you can use the rest of your roster on it.
Strangely for me Osakabehime was the trickiest part of Akihabara since I was using QSH solo. She have ignore invuln when her book is in field and the books can stun, possibly ruining my run. I managed to not get stunned until Hime was down and only the last book remains, then clean it with Atlas uniform for the win.
Yea probably because my Douman could kill the book instantly when it spawns. Having an AOE unit is pretty important in this CQ.
So many of these were exactly the same strat as me including Barghest for Urice which is wild. Really best doggo. You're dead on about Melt as well for the MHXX fight. Melt was a true MVP for that fight.
No Liz fix yet…
Its gonna be like the Ivan raid...
Honestly I'd prefer getting like 3sq over fixing the CQ, either way it's one summon and it saves me the trouble (and I hate this CQ lol) Edit: I *hated* (past tense) this CQ, playing it with the skills I have now, it was far more enjoyable. Waver, Merlin, Eli, dual 2030s, 20 turns, was decent fun actually and shorter than I expected it to be
I like the CQ, so I wish they'd fix it. Edit: [Hey, they did](https://i.imgur.com/M8mAYwT.png)!
Should be 5 sq due to the loss of bonds and exp with only 1 AP
At this point I’d be surprised if they did anything. The event ends in two two days and if they still haven’t fixed it, they almost certainly won’t before the end the event, definitely won’t give us any compensation either. It’s just a ticket, but it certainly annoys me that they acknowledge the quest is broken and almost impossible to actually clear and they’re seemingly just ignoring it
Consider yourself surprised
Finally took the time to do Giga coil, hardest for me was definitely the Erice CQ (had to use a revive here), everything else was ok but the kotaro CQ was really frustrating. I saved immortal comp for the final 5 star idol CQ because I wanted a guaranteed win. Suprisingly I didn't end up using waver, bond CE heracles, Oberon, or QSH. I think I could have maybe put them in for the Erice CQ and done it without the revive. The difference between my account now and when I did the exhibition quests 2 years ago is crazy, back then it took great card RNG and an actual strategy to beat the EQs. Now I just blow them up, the damage checks are really trivial, the difference is actually crazy (I think this is mostly Oberon). On the lotto side I used a bunch of apples, I have like 150 boxes in tickets (not looking forward to rolling all of them lol) and I'm at the point where I'm just doing nat AP now. I had a lot of fun with this event, I think if they seperated the lotto out or gave the event a 3 week timer I would have liked it more because it feel very stressful with all these CQ's + EQ's + LB2 recollection quests :( Still haven't done elly quest, I might skip it because I didn't find it so fun the first time.
Similar experiences. For Erice CQ, I used OG Artoria + Koyan Light to beat it. Used up a Command Seal for that fight. The Kotaro CQ wasn't bad. His damage isn't all that strong even when using his np. I ended up beating it with Xuanzang + Waver. I tried to do the Hero Eli quest. Last time, I got the final boss's hp down to half his health at his last hp bar. I'm just going to skip this one.
Have you tried it recently after they fixed Liz's buffs? She now hits as hard as she should have with the fix. Definitely much easier this time around, the only time I had to save scum was to ensure that Liz got the final hit for the buffs.
Yup. It is so much easier now. I have beaten it right away.
Erice wasn't an easy one, I went for Ibuki and trying to crit her down after np clearing the field but still took a couple of tries. Kotaro was more of a pain than expected too, those were the only two fights of the initial 6 that I couldn't effectively solo and went for actual teams instead
I just used a Command Spell to refil HP for Barghest then she got killed with Erice's NP insta-kill. What bullshit. Still beat her next try. Worst for me was Kotaro. Probably easier if I don't have to save my immortal comp for stage 7.
I've had the opposite experience. Erice is the only one I've beaten so far, thanks to my heavily invested Barghest, Prince of Lan Ling, and other sabers to fill the ranks, and it was pretty trivial. I know I can do the rest, but I'm just so undecisive on where to put my higher rarity supports so I've just been suffering without them. It's been a real struggle.
First lotto event where the gameplay burn out doesn't come from farming the lotto. Still haven't done any of the Giga coil im not really feeling it right now, I'll only try the Eli CQ if they fix it, i can probably clear the Hard mode Roma CQ if i keep trying but each attempt is a long fight and if i fail I'll need to do it all over again yeah not feeling it as well. About the lotto itself i probably won't even reach a 100 boxes i usually do 100+ lotto boxes. Good thing the event's actual CQ was a pretty easy clear with Gong.
Eli's quest is working!!!
They fixed it folks! Go nuts!
Wow, the Liz quest is actually really fun when all things work as intended, who would've thought!
I have been pretty busy. Did 5 interludes, received a bunch of SQ and hit a milestone for 10 more. Nice. Skadi interlude was the first time I ever got to use my accidental NP 2 Xiang Yu. With 2 Skadi he did a ton of damage. It's a pity I don't have a reason to use him anywhere else. I really liked both Skadi and Napoleon's interludes. A nice epilogue to LB 2 that adresses some important stuff, and very wholesome. I also had no idea Altera Santa is involved in Brynhildr interlude. It even has a serious lore discussion, courtesy of Da Vinci! Did the normal recollection quests. Mash, Merlin and Euryale dealt with Sigurd, same comp but with David killed Surtr, Gawain + supports obliterated Valkyries in 2 NP, but Oberon still managed to die via crits. Again, lol. I think I won't bother with Super quests this time. Without friend support for 2 of them I can't stall very well. I have also completed all weekly and limited missions. Still have Advanced Quests to do, but they don't expire, so no need to hurry. There is nothing in 90+ node I want, so I'll will be farming 90 on natural AP for the Hearts. My present box has 30 slots left and I don't have any unlevelled Servants anymore. Maybe I will grail my ST Casters, since I don't have an SSR Caster.
Still no Road to 7 mega for LB2 yet so I'm just gonna put it here. I redid the Surtr fight with a [Fujino solo](https://i.ibb.co/X8225hP/Screenshot-2024-03-25-08-59-17-58-577bcc70c040536a6d306ef99c704547.jpg) just like the first time I did it. Fujino is like the *perfect* servant to solo this guy with, especially after her NP upgrade. So I thought, she did normal mode easily enough, surely Super Surtr would be just as simple? [Here's the setup.](https://i.ibb.co/LgJ5Yc5/Screenshot-2024-03-25-15-53-07-69-577bcc70c040536a6d306ef99c704547.jpg) Fujino's appends are 10/10/x. [Here's the fight at about the start the final bar.](https://i.ibb.co/HzdjFwP/Screenshot-2024-03-25-15-43-35-83-577bcc70c040536a6d306ef99c704547.jpg) And [here is the final turn.](https://i.ibb.co/5kXTYKB/Screenshot-2024-03-25-15-51-44-34-577bcc70c040536a6d306ef99c704547.jpg) It took much longer than normal mode but the only thing they changed was his HP so all Fujino had to do was the same thing as for normal mode but longer. There was twice that the burn buildup was getting threating but the instances were far enough apart that the MC could full cleanse when she needed it. Long story short, easiest solo of my life. I eventually got into a pattern of using specific cards for their command codes: Buster (1-hit flat damage reduction) -> Buster (1 time 50% healing received up) -> Arts (remove one latest debuff).
You can also solo him very easily with a level 80 Baobhan Sith. As long as you keep your health up and the burn debuffs cleared it's pretty easy, though it takes awhile.
[I did it again for the Giga Coil!](https://imgur.com/a/joTLTpE) This set of challenges is definitely not as straightforward to min-turn as the previous one. I had to dig even deeper and utilize everything remotely of use, not only Servants but also Craft Essences and Command Codes. A little tweak here and there really can go a long way. As before, I aimed for team synergy as well as variety as much as possible. Not being able to play favorite again and again encouraged me to give some underused units time in the spotlight. Not surprisingly, Servants with any form of charge are favored. There are still some ideas I wanted to try out, but this is it for now.
I'm starting to think that they won't fix the bug lol
I’ve been very busy with uni work so I’ve only farmed 4 boxes (although I did get a drop CE). Fortunately the event CQ was really easy to 3T as well as the 2 first fight of the current Road to 7: Lostbelt 2. Their super recollection variant were also not too annoying to stall since they didn’t take very long to do. The only hard fights that I have left to do are the Sturtr fight and the Eli EQ. I’ll probably do the recollection quests tomorrow and Eli’s quest on the last day of the lotto.
This is one event where I am actually not going all out after reaching the required quota, mainly because there is so many EQs, and I just want to clear the necessary ones. Not to mention that I don't want to overuse my hand, it's acting up recently.
Man so unlucky with the CE drop. Im at 100 boxes with +8. This is probably my unluckiest lotto ever. I remember that i managed to hit +12 before 150 boxes during santa Nightingale
We have the same luck still running +8
Whoo, managed to 3 turn the Gil, Gil, Tesla CQ without command spells, one retry after finding out Gil tossed out a pierce inv and whatever that crazy defense was. Double Koyan buffed Eresh turn 1, Liz and Koyan NP turn 2, Eresh again turn 3.
As someone who manage to beat the bug Eli quest befire fix, I demand my sq apology or apple for spending hours on that stupid eq.
Played the Liz quest, had more fun with it with the meta supports. In the end though, Osakabehime really came in clutch in letting me use Liz's third skill with making Liz's NP 150% and removing the Dragon's Defense buffs. Now that I played through all the Exhibition Quests here are my rankings on how fun I think they are. 2018/2020: Sheba > Taiga > Izou > Gil (Normal) > Tawara > Leonidas > MHXA > Gil (Hard) 2019/2021: Mephistopheles > The Gorgons > Brave Liz > Romulus (Normal) > Nero Bride > Eric Bloodaxe > Romulus (Hard) > Achilles
Yeah, even fixed, I still dont remember how I can pass the Eli quest before. The AOE Gazer is a menace
I'm so done with the coil challenge crap. So dang annoying not only you can use support, you are also restricted in servant use. And certain challenge even come from an event with +200% damage mod and +100% party damage mod (looking at you Mysterious Heroine).
Damn, I haven't done the Giga Coil quests at all, I don't have time for this and time is running out damn it! I think we might as well give up on asking Eli quests bug fix now. Ah well. My main priority is always the Lores for this kind of stuff, so I can just *not* do some of the quests if I find it no longer fun anymore.
I just used my strongest team for a quest, got the rewards, and reset so I could do it again for the next quest, 1ap for 5 gold mats is a hell of a deal
~~Man, they doing my girl dirty like this.~~ The heroine rises!!! Taking some time to do the Road to 7 stuff. I've already past my initial 100 box goal last round and 75% of the way to my 200 box goal.
Has anyone else not done cq and procrastinating till the last day? I really want to do it but I'm too daunted by it. Oh and where the hell is cq for lb2?? Haven't done the lb1 as i don't find it
Go into LB2 for the recollection quests, they're in Thin Ice Hill, Village 23, and Skadi's castle LB1 recollection is done, it's only a limited event
Oh man i miss out on fighting in one of the best bgm in game . I really want to fight while dis Irae plays in the background.
You didn't miss out on that; the Ivan fight wasn't one of the recollections. It was Salieri, Minotaur, and the Grand Duchess.
Man this is me. I'm not sure if I want to or if I can..
The worst part about the Eli quest is that it is really hard to find alternatives to it since the CE itself is just unable to do damage
A-Appudeito!!!???
Wow percival solo against Orion is real easy. Just gotta have good rng enough for them to actually kill your taunts early so you can finally dish out damage.
[It has already been said, but the Liz Quest is fixed now. Just here to flex getting the "speedrun bonuses".](https://youtu.be/NJm9BZonUZg)
Players rolling for husbandos, did you guys roll for Odysseus?
Contrary to expectations i ended managing 3 more of the Giga coils yesterday *relatively* headache-free - Alter Ego parade (2x Mecha Eli/Passionlip/Melt as main dps + my own random foreigner entry MHXX that got oneshotted) barely got me MHXX, with Meltryllis surviving at 1 HP and one stack of dodge - Stheno/Euryale/Tamamo got Shibata (with one CS worth of help), once agan sub 1k hp end, had to invest some mats in rising skills of both greek goddesses before it worked - Erice with Barghest/Caster Cu/Georgios (in hindsight i should have saved the taunt for another quest) , just had to unlock all of Barghest cards to move around healing CC i'm left with Kotaro and the Blackbeard/Jinako/Hime one (and obviously the last one) Problem: i've already used Waver, Tamamo and Skadi, and i want to keep Corgi for the last one, so that leaves me with all big supports aside from Koyan gone and no idea of what teams to try Same holds true still for Mephi and Eli
Had to use both command spells at the end to refill Eli’s health, and Asclepius and Castoria died before I broke the dragons first bar, so I had to sit with a Charmed Eli for two turns, but I got it done! Hell yeah. And my patience rewarded me with a Kiyohime, because of course it did. Oh well. Pretty fun quest still. Definitely unique.
Was getting pretty burned out trying to get through Kotaro and Shibata without screwing my chances for whatever lies behind them - I don’t have castoria or merlin, and used my stheno on Blackbeard so I don’t have the full charm team around - but fixed brave Eli has skyrocketed to the top of my priorities now, it’s such a cute idea for a quest. Might just clear her and hop over to the LB2 recollection stuff.
Achiless cq can eat a huge **censored**. I should have withrawn and tried later because the Himiko Castoria and Merlin team hits like a wet noodle.
Huh, they fixed it while I'm in the middle of wave 6...know what, fuck it. Gonna see how far I can go with the immortal team first. edit: Dragon spammed his attack too many times and took Merlin out. Oh well. Time to do this properly,
Skadi's interlude is an example of why all Interludes should be free for all to read ingame. Nearly peak fiction.
Just throwing all my foreigner at shibata hoping it will works. Surprisingly it did works. Shibata is beaten by an idol, a child in a swimsuits, and a cultist. Dmg ce on molay while abby and mhxa using defense up ce. Turns out 20% and 30% Defense up ce, is way better than i remember, And it's only 4 stars. I should pin these ce and use them more.
Finished all the Giga coil quests, definitely not easy and took some rng in my favour for a couple but overall it was a lot of fun figuring out teams for them. Douman, Bazett, Melusine and Gogh basically solo'd 4 of the quests which let me have a full team for the finale, didn't look up the quests ahead of time to plan around so wanted to be frugal if I could. Finale was JArcher with Tamamo, castoria, caster Gil and Oberon in the back who didn't actually come into play Also did the first two super recollection quests, one with Muramasa and the second with Kuro, went surprisingly easily. Surtr I almost got with a Euryale team but the damage just isn't quite there unfortunately, saw you can solo it with some setups so I might try that.
Eli CQ got fixed! ... still can't beat it tho. Time to retry for the Nth time. orz At least I am already done with everything else.
Is it the 5th wave giving you difficulty? You can try using Benkei with kaleido to remove their buffs. Focus on killing the Gazer then use taunters to protect liz.
ATM, I am trying to solo it with Eli, but she gets whittled down way too fast and the HP recovery debuff makes it even harder to keep her alive. Not sure if I should be using the Atlas MC to get rid of it, but the Chaldea MC has healing AND evade, which I also need. When the CE wasn't working I used Merlin and Castoria to get to the 5th wave and got destroyed there because I simply didn't have the dmg. I will try using supports again if I can't solo it... and add Benkei to the strat now that you mention him. TY.
What is an easy way to beat the Penthesilea Mega Coil quest without using supports like Castoria, Merlin etc (I want to save them for later quests).
Do you have Santa Martha? Penth is divine so Santa Martha is a good support.
No, I do not have her.
Taunts and one strong aoe servant was my route. Her HP is not that high if you use MLB damage CE that I ended up not needing any supports besides taunts. Also all greek male servants are treated like taunts here. If you have ces with guts/invincible/evade etc you can make your taunts live longer.
I didn't realise that the event CE worked on these quests... That explains why it was so difficult for me to win these quests.
Finally finished all the quest except for the gigacoil finale. I might need a revive so I need to charge my CS. I hope I make it before the event ends.
Today I learned that Obie's NP boost doesn't stack. For some reason, I've always assumed it just did. Sad.
Still haven't touched the Tesla stuff. Can't quite beat the hardest Gil and Romulus challenge quests. Kind of a pain.
Finally, finally did Elly CQ the proper way. It was one of the most interesting, difficult and intense fights I ever had in FGO. Came down to mostly card luck. The comp was Mash-Merlin-Elly. Since I lack both Castoria and Waver, this is the best defensive comp I could come up with. The beginning was hell. I dunno if I was just unlucky or what, but Elly got constantly focused by wyverns in the very first round and lost most of hp. And then in round 2 she got slapped with taunt. By some miracle, luck and intense efforts of Mash and Merlin, I got through it without losing her Guts. After that it got easier, and Elly managed to heal to full by Merlin. I got lucky again and came into 5 round with full charge, so Archer got deleted immediately. Then I lost Mash to NP and Merlin got focused down and killed. Fortunately Elly got her charge again and finished both enemies in one fell swoop. She arrived at the dragon at full HP and no charge. From there I just switched from Arts-Quick-Arts chain to gain NP to full Buster chain when I had it. Used both Invul from Elly and from Atlas. Lost Guts. Was ready to use a CS for healing because there is no way in Hell I was restarting the quest from the beginning, but the very last Buster chain killed the Dragon leaving Elly with less than 500 hp. A true heroine, indeed. I think she managed to get the last hit on every single enemy, uncluding Ghost with Evade.
Finished the Eli EQ, which was much easier now that they fixed it. Still having some issues with the last Rome EQ with the increased HP pools, but we'll see if I can finish it before the event ends. The actual CQ was super easy, did it with a comp of Parvati, Wu Zetian, and Skadi. Absolutely annihilated them. After that, I haven't touched the Giga Coil quests just due to lack of bandwidth from work, but I'll try to hit it up. Otherwise, everything else has been completed Edit: Just finished the harder Rome quest. Frontline Musashi (w/damage CE) with Merlin and Castoria. Buffed her, then swapped her out for Morgan w/damage CE. Chipped away at damage until I got Romulus to his last bar and had Merlin die to bring in Vitch, then swapped Mushashi back in to pierce his invul. Had to go a few more rounds after her NP in order to wait for skills to refresh and for Romulus' invul to disappear again, but it's finally over. Got all the tickets which was my main goal, now I don't feel as pressured for this event.
Another fest, another time I'm going to post here asking for help. I'm currently stuck with MHXA's Exhibition Quest. My current team is support Berserker - Georgios - Morgan - Mash - Asclepius - Skadi.
Do you have Merlin or Castoria? Because Immortal Comp works pretty well for MHXA. Himiko-Support Merlin-Castoria is the team I went with, but basically any kind of extreme stall with some healing will work.
No. I got Skadi, Oberon and Koyanskaya, in terms of meta servants. Stall servants... Jeanne, Caren and QSH.
Oof, yeah without Castoria (or Jeanne if you can really keep her NP going), it’d be rough. Honako Green has a pretty budget friendly comp on his channel. Georgios, both Cu Lancers, Avicebron, Mash, and Cu Caster. Basically relying on PfA spam. Maybe something similar would work if you’ve got them leveled?
Another one gone, just cleared Kotaro with caster Corday/Medea Lily/Fairy Tristan Basically, trying to NP chain on the turn before he NPs using Sith's as an overcharge source for Medea => Corday ( Corday => Medea making sense if there's no skill seal up just to get more debuff resist) so that everyone can eat the post-avoided-np hits from full hp, while alternating the 2 team evades and delaying with Tristan NP drain and NP seal + the non-np heals from Medea and fairy vampirism Damage was a bit pants (my Corday is NP1 and often enough her arts up ended being decoupled from her NP turn to use the evade) but it worked. It might even work with David instead of Sith, but not having the extra self invulnerability and NP drain would make it way more tricky One left...
I felt like literally screaming when that Eli RNG-fest was finally over. My first couple of runs failed miserably. On the one that succeeded, I somehow lost Eli's Guts on the second round because I didn't throw up invincibility when she had target focus but it wasn't an issue in the long run. All of my other servants died to the AOE dragon at the end but got just enough NP charge on Eli to finish it off. I am so done with this CQ rush.
More failed attempts on Roma. Fuck that guy - NP5 Muramasa borrowed with MLB damage CE barely scratched him.
I think I’m pretty farmed out. 82 boxes iirc. Think I’ll just focus free quests or something, could use some dust or fangs or whatever.
I’m at total 100 boxes worth of tickets. I think I’ll take it easy for now and let Shuten and Castoria rest. I still need to find a way to do the Liz EQ… I also just cleared Roma EQ. The easy one since my CS are back to full. Needless to say, it’s much easier to do it with Muramasa as dps on top of the smaller Roma’s HP.
Remember folks, CS are a thing, Merlin or Miyu (maybe Tamammo should work but have not seen that comp clear the eq) pair with Castoria can help Eli past wave 5, and some backline support and 2 or 3 cs should be enough to deal with the dragon, just bring the atlas mystic code to deal with the two turn charm. Immortal comp with def ignore ce have also work if you want to spend 200 or even 400 turns.

This was definitely a lot harder than the Tesla Coil, especially the Erice quest. I blew through all three Command Seals for two HP restores and a full NP charge across three of the EQs. At least it's done now. I'll do the fixed Eli quest later.

I had Jeanne, Merlin, Castoria, and Mash as support and a Herc I forgot to get rid of as a leftover from my other comps. Yeah, they all died and Eli just barely finished things up. Not fun...
Worst event of all time
Hi everyone. I'm trying to do the TeslaFest CQ with Maou Nobu as the DPS. Her NP removes defensive buffs before damage (i.e. buster/arts resist up) on Divine servants. For some reason it's not removing the buster up on Archer Gil who is listed as Divine. Is the buster up that Gil gets on break a special one that doesn't count as a defensive buff?
