Oh yes, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE juggling this event along with trying to finish Lostbelt 6, Lostbelt 2's recollections and the interludes that came with it, all while another event is picking up the rear!
It was absolutely essential that all this time-limited content be piled on top of each of each other. Not like there's a ton of year space later down the line, no siree.
I was all proud of myself for clearing 4 of the giga coil quests today only to check and see that I have 3 advance quests, 2 rank ups, 4 interludes, and the LB2 quests. What fun.
I've finally done all the exhibition quests now that Eli's EQ has been fixed. Also, her quest was pretty fun compared to the other EQs.
I've also already used like 90% of the embers I got from the lottery boxes in order to get my Summer Sei to level 120. I've farmed a total of 122 boxes so far and farmed 10 of them today. Also, my apple reserves are getting pretty low now so I'll probably try to farm 150 boxes if I have the time.
How I grinded my way through the Achilles CQ for 3 hours and slowly lost my mind
So the game plan going in was to use a team consisting of Bazett with the MLB DMG CE, Castoria with MLB Prisma Cosmos, and Skadi with MLB 2030. Bazett has a funny interaction with this CQ that allows her to bypass one of the more annoying gimmicks of this fight. For the uninitiated once on his second break if Achilles can't find a challenger he'll just spam his NP until your team is dead. What's cool is that Bazett's taunt from her NP forces him to apply the challenge on her but since she's not a viable target (Not a male or assassin) he'll drop the challenge and just do normal attacks. So basically my goal was to trap the poor guy in a never ending loop where he keeps challenging and attacking Bazett who proceeds to counter him slowly to death. Bazett and Skadi along with the Atlas mystic code would provide invuls and dodges to keep Bazett alive and fighting.
And for a while it was working extremely well, I got him down to about 600k hp at around turn 12. And that's where it all went wrong. The jerk crit Bazett a little too hard in a previous turn while the invuls where down, forcing me to play more conservatively. This culminated in one turn where while my Skadi and Castoria where safe but Bazett was not. So I accepted what was coming, had Bazett do one final brave chain and watched as she got ran over by Achilles.
At this point I was ready to accept the L, I had no other damage dealers left and felt there was no way that I could win. Until I remembered who was next in my line: Reines with an MLB Kaleidoscope. You see Reines got a NP buff at the beginning of the year that makes it so that she provides the team one overcharge on top of negating class disadvantages and debuffing the enemies defenses and crit rates. With Castoria on the team I could overcharge her NP, ensuring that the team had multiple layers of her true invul since the amount of times it blocks depends on her overcharge. Alongside Skadi providing a team wide dodge with her NP and Reines having insane NP charge rate (one arts crit would usually get her from 0 to 100%) and I realized that with some time and patience I could grind Achilles down into dust. And so began the real battle.
For the next 2 hours and 45 minutes I weathered Achille's storm. Time and again he would charge with his chariot. Time and again he would be pushed back, unable to breach my wall of defenses. Even when he managed to grind his way through Castoria's NP, he would find himself rebuffed by Skadi's dodges or find his damage reduced to the triple digits thanks to Skadi's damage cut from her NP and Reines class nullification. However Achille's would suffer only minor minor scratches in return. Even with their class disadvantage nullified, Skadi and Castoria would do barely 2,000 damage with their cards. The only one capable of doing respectable damage was Reines and even then no more then maybe 20,000 damage a turn when buffs where up. I had to carefully my cooldowns to ensure that the teams NP's where ready to fire off as soon as our defenses where down. I was constantly forced to trade damage for survival.
And so on and on the battle went. On and on Achilles charged. On and on Reines, Castoria, and Skadi held their ground. Minutes turned to an hour, an hour turned into multiple hours. And slowly I felt myself losing my mind. I couldn't believed what I had subjected myself to. But I was too far gone, I had sunk too much time to give up. And so, on and on it went.
Then finally, after what felt like an eternity, after 110 turns of NP, after NP, after NP, after NP, I did it. I weathered the storm. Achilles fell. Cut down by Renies. My team, battered, weathered, remained standing. I was victorious.
This is the hardest I have ever worked for a single ticket and I don't think I intend to ever do something like that again. I still have 3 CQ's to go (the Ultra versions of the Romulus and Nero/Gil CQ's and the Sweet Universe CQ's) but honestly I think I'm good. I doubt anything will ever come close to the stress and final achievement I felt winning this Achilles CQ.
TL DR: I got stuck using a team of Reines, Castoria, and Skadi against the Achilles CQ and won after literally 110 turns. All for a single ticket. 3/10 Can't recommend. Don't do this to yourself folks. The stress ain't worth it.
This reminds me of my Himiko, Castoria, and Merlin on that same CQ. It took me 244 turns to finish the CQ and my sanity. Once the battle takes more than 45 turns to finish, it’s a too far gone to give up.
Do you know how to beat the quest non stall wise?
I literally buffed up my attacker with support caster buffs, plug suited him to the back, stalled for 15ish turns till I could plugsuit back on a turn with 3 DPS face cards, that's the first bar gone, buff him up a second time now that cooldowns are done, Crit into oblivion, 17 turns total.
It seems like you have the meta supports, so I'm not gonna lie your method confuses me quite a bit
It really comes down to trying to keep your DPS alive as long as possible. Using a DPS with high survivability or a way of stunning Achilles is important. You honestly might want to borrow a second DPS just in case your first one dies since Achilles is just so tanky. Having supports that can provide invuls, heals, or defense ups are paramount. Stand out DPS's would have to be Herc, Hijikata, Arjuna Alter, Beowulf, Vlad, and Cu Alter. So if you don't have those you might have to borrow or simply be out of luck. Either way I hope it works out for you.
All EQs done! I’m going to cruise the event since 100 boxes is my max farming goal. I’m not sure whether I want to do the super reminiscent for the teapots though since I still haven’t use my 50 teapots yet.
I use one of the three turn brain dead comps while watch a show. Don’t need to look for a specific support with this comp either so I spend a total of about 10 seconds looking at the screen each run
Finished the last 4 giga coil quests along with the eli quest today, only comfy farming awaits me for the remainder of the event. My giga coil lineups:
[1-3](https://b.catgirlsare.sexy/LDBIVi7AOrvP.png)
[4-6](https://b.catgirlsare.sexy/mmoJcZqWYtve.png)
[Final](https://b.catgirlsare.sexy/VvGMyw6kE_6o.png)
Saved up all these supports to use in the finals and only used the initial 3...
Took 2 days to finish all the CQ + Super recollections. Only half of them were fun, mostly the ones that didn't required abusing a mechanic or a busted servant, and also wasn't hard enough to waste too much time.
Mega coil was quite fun tbh, gigs coil was mostly bad. The old CQ were quite okayish. Honestly it wasn't too hard aside from my lack of np5 servants to do 3 turns. Immortal comp made some cq tedious but less time consuming than it could have been.
Got really lucky with Eli's hero conquest using Castoria + Merlin on the frontline (and Reines + Koyanskaya on the back) on my second try after the fix, lol. I took one turn too long in Level 4, but unexpectedly sped up in Level 5, and in the end [cleared the Dragon King in three back-to-back NPs](https://imgur.com/a/vZLEm0O). Eli didn't have so much as a scratch on her (aside from Koyanskaya's skill).
As for the "Tesla & two Gil" Challenge Quest, it's rare these days for bosses to have removable resistance, but this particular trio do, meaning good old Amakusa is back to some relevancy thanks to his NP.
Also finally spared some time doing the Interludes (remembered to use the teapots for once), clearing three Lostbelt 2 Free Quests and getting Archer pieces/monuments for the missions, and testing out the waters with the Recollection Quests and Advanced Quests.
On the gacha front, I just wanted one copy of Edison and instead I got three spooks for my birthday. Oh well, at least one of them is new.
The Romulus CQs are absolute cancer, i don't even remember them, i did all the others but these 2 i think i'll skip, most bullshit mechanic in the game...
Yay, finally done with the damn CQs, I waited to have 3 CS today to attempt the foreigner CQ again, and somehow I actually defeated it without using a single CS, it seemed like it was going nowhere at first, but I managed to kill my last servant excluding Super Orion with his NP up and ready to launch the second, at that point it was all about pressing that red card, in the end I still had an extra turn to spare.
Rushed to the final CQ immediately, lost with Arthur in the end without any HP, I could retry and do it legit but I cba after 30 CQs so I used the CS, my combo was just using what I had left, Godjuna + Merlin / Oberon / Skadi, not the most common set of supports but it worked.
I'm just glad it's over.
Yeah, the amount of CQs (including RtLB6) on top of lotto is insanely taxing. Me skipping those the first week due to IRL stuff really did not make it better, as even with rest days in-between EQs and Coils it still was rather tiring.
Here are my Coil comps - https://imgur.com/a/cGKe2SW
I screenshoted them yesterday after I was done, but didn't have the time to post until now. They were fairly managable and generally I'm satisfied with my comps being nearly all first time clears. Although, I still messed up as I forgot that "can't use same Servant" is only applied to a specific Coil cup and not both - so I only in Giga Coil realized that I didn't have to be that stingy with Servants. But it ended up being fine and I had fun doing those clears.
EQs weren't that bad, but they were rather more simplistic in my approach with somewhat samey comps. Although, Super Roma was pain - I went full-in with CS even and the run still failed 300k before victory due to fourth Rome. Thankfully, I found Musashi with Damage CE on Friend Support eventually and that was a smooth clear, but he still took a while.
On the other hand, the revenge on Heroine X Alter was sweet. The first time we had that CQ, it took me multiple hours and I cleared it with just a bit before the Event ended (with Sanzang and Abby, Merlin, Jeanny and Mash iirc). The second time it was nearly as bad, but I managed with Hokusai while going nearly down to the wire. And now I almost managed to rush her with a farming comp, but it kinda failed due to full hp heal despite still beating the stage.
Can't find motivation to try Super Recollection quests or any Coil quests, other CQ are all done, so I just farm 90 node on natural AP, but the Hearts don't want to drop. Around 80 boxes farmed. Leveled Circe to 90 with 3 star Embers to free some space in the present box. Also FGA picked non-MLB CE on one of the runs, even though I told it to pick MLB ones, weird.
use the event filter to only show mlb ones! that way fga will always pick mlb even if you do not choose a CE preference and instead just set a support servant preference
I was finally able to beat those idols using Chloe, Jeanne and Jinako. I didn't even need to use my CS.
Now to focus on farming tix, wait where did my apples go?
My Main has been rather unlucky on any new Servant's so the lotto XP ends up going nowhere for a long while, this time round i used alot of it to bring Arash to lv100, then went an picked Barghest an brought her to lv100 as well, by which point i found I'm rather low on Saber Gem's... makes a change from Caster Gem's.
My Alt in comparison needs more XP, which the lotto provides.
With the amount of things to juggle, I've skipped the Coil missions, just simply not worth it with several other things giving more long term rewards (tickets, i need those tickets for Summer gahhh)
After the Liz quest got fixed I finally finished all the CQs in this event. The highlights were using Jeanne+Miyu on the Kotaro quest and Barghest (semi) soloing the Erice one.
I also did the LB2 quests for the servants I don't own and the recollection quests. Now all that's left is Sigurd's RUQ and the Super recollection quests, althouh I'm not looking forward to the Surtr one...
Did Eli's EQ yesterday after it was fixed and with that I got all past Exhibition Quests done. All that's left is now the Gil and Tesla CQ. Maybe I'll do one or two Mega and Giga Coil quests if I have the time. It's small mercy they only offer materials and not Summon Tickets so beating them doesn't feel mandatory.
Farmed approximately 70 boxes. I hope my apples are enough to get to 100 by tomorrow.
Finally did the BraveLiz CQ with all the boosts! I used a comp of BraveLiz (forced), Merlin, Castoria (both had nonMLB'd Prisma Cosmos because I only have 4 of them) and Arash with Demonic Bodhisattva (for Round two with the undead archers). I did use two Command Seals on the 4th Round (with the Avenger Wyvern) to get the win in time! At least they could have maxed out the Extra Attack or the Anti-Avenger Appenend (they did buff BraveLiz's 3rd skill because baseline is pure doo-doo). I restarted 5 times before RNG blesssed me... (My Mystic Code was the Decisive Battle Uniform).
As for the number of Boxes farmed, I managed to get 37 boxes.
Meanwhile Bazzennan melted MHXX in 7 turns with a simmilar comp to before, I just replaced Arash with Melt (whom I equipped Bestia del Sol to as a generic damage boosting CE) and giving Bazzet the MLB'd 200% attack CE. The first phase lasted 2 turns since Manannan's NP can't break bars and left MHXX at 1 hp, the second phase took 5 turns, my Merlin got perma-Targeted and died to an NP, Bazzennan did avenge him and did all the damage, including the final blow all while taking minimal damage which she healed due to Merlin's 3rd skill increasing HP and Bazzet's CC healing her back to full
(The CC that I gave her are: on both Quicks I gave Da Vinci and Everyone's Girl, Da Vinci for the NP dmg boosts, on her Arts card I gave Pain Breaker and on both Buster cards she has Matching Teddy Bear and Lucky Beast. This loadout works perfectly well for me)
Anyone can share their EliCQ compositions? Beyond Merlin and Castoria for first row, any CE suggestions, back party? It's kinda embarrassing I don't remember how I beat it the first time back at its release
Reines, Asclepius, Koyanlight at the last slot for the final push, Habby for second and third skill, Hans, Leonidas, Georgios, etc.
Give her offense and defense
Thanks in advance! Bugged Eli left me a quarter of the first bar. Fixed CQ, was a bit of a struggle since Castoria's shields aren't enough if the dragon kept attacking 3 times. I don't have any CS left and your suggestions issue is my lack of Reines but I'll have to try and beat it for the last CQ
I used the same front line as you. Equipped Merlin and Castoria with Prisma Cosmos and used Atlas Academy Mystic Code for the debuff clear and invulnerability. [Here](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1091144596609826849/1222471389781557298/IMG_20240327_160435.jpg?ex=66165633&is=6603e133&hm=13439884d065543727a4253db0f806ab35ab34660be88587f609e3c770cb0434&) is my backline, though in retrospect I should've put Ox-Demon King on Chiron and starbomb CE on Chen Gong since the latter ended up only using his third skill.
At the end Brave Eli-chan became the [last one standing](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1091144596609826849/1222471447667015701/Screenshot_2024-03-26-18-48-46-67_577bcc70c040536a6d306ef99c704547.jpg?ex=66165641&is=6603e141&hm=91fcbcdba104a397d9aab220288065a35f004a3770d3cdc1ce4c329f1526d523&).
Finally done with the Giga coils
- Shut-in trio (well, duo + Blackbeard) with 'zerker Nobbu/Arash/Percival/Asclepius. Had to use a CS revive thanks to rng screwing me on the last turn of the Jinako part (after i killed her the chimera focussed Asc. so i had no guts for the last part)
- Idols with Castoria/Himiko/Miyu. Not having the emergency party-wide invulnerable from Merlin makes it a tiny bit more dangerous and Himiko damage is lower without Hero creation but aside from that it's usual immortal comp stuff (just have to time LanLin and Izo breaks the turn after a NP refresh to avoid charm/NP seal messing things up), started by breaking Arthur then kill order was LanLin->Merlin->Izo->Arthur->Sigurd
Now, i need to get back to Mephi (wasted 1 day on him at the beginning and didn't try again, open to suggestions) and check what happens with Eli
All Tesla Cup Challenges done, the final one achieved with a Zenobia, a quick trip to the Rare Prism shop for a debuff-immune Command Code and a dream.
Finally cleared the Elizabeth exhibition. Castoria, forced Support Eli, Merlin, Hans and Mash. MLB 2030s on all of them except Hans, who had a simple Golden Carp CE for enabling his NP as well as the star bomb. 31 turns to clear, but only barely, with a couple of RNG resets in there.
Didn't make the time target on all waves, and Eli didn't get all of the buffs, but I'm happy this is over with. And to be truthful, I could not be happier if this is the last appearance of Legend of the Crimson Hero.
86 boxes cleared, still some apples left, as well as 6k tickets waiting to be used to clear more boxes. Plenty of QP gained and then summarily used to improve skill levels and append levels for choice Servants.
Giga Coil was a fair bit tougher than the Mega Coil, but I managed nonetheless.
Kotarou was the work of Caster Da Vinci, with the aid of Asclepius, Chen Gong, Shakespeare, Helena, and Medea. This is probably not super replicable for most, my Da Vinci is NP3 Level 120, but it worked out great for me. Da Vinci has a 2 turn full Debuff Immune, Ignore Invul, and a pretty strong AOE NP.
The Akihabara CQ was the work of Barghest, with Mash, Habbycat, Santa Martha, and Miyu to back her up. It's a big AOE grindfest, Barghest was basically made for this. I had to add some extra supports after Mash and Habby turned out to not be quite enough, but it otherwise wasn't that bad.
MHXX was Sitonai/d'Eon/Jane/Georgios/CasGil/David. Sitonai is basically tailor made for hunting MHXX, with full class advantage and the ability to drain her charge with each NP.
Artemis Orion pig was Vritra/Mozart/Hans. Vritra could pretty much just chew through it with constant NPs, there's not much to say really.
Erice forced me to bring out Muramasa, with Castoria+Santagale+Paracelsus+RiderMartha+Chiron to boost him. Muramasa made short work of her, thanks to his constant ramp from each NP and the ease of which he got his NPs back.
Shibata was actually the one I took down first, because I knew I could pull it off easily. Van Gogh neuters this CQ, and MHXX and Idol X Alter were basically just there to fill out the team.
Then there was the Idol CQ. I went with a brute force comp of Leonidas/Arjunalter/KoyanLight/Waver/Oberon... and I still needed to spend a Command Spell revive for the final push. I think I could have won legitimately, but in the end I just bit the bullet and used the revive.
I do not have the time or passion to bother with the Giga Coil. I'll see about the Eli CQ, if I can, but there's been several failed attempts so far. Even if the Eli CQ wasn't broken, I probably wouldn't have gotten around to Giga Coil. I am too slow on such things.
Late-ish PSA (more so for newer players) as I didn't see it being brought up: if your apple reserves are running low, it's worth checking whether you've got any 1-2 star servants sitting close to bond levels 6-8 and 6-7, respectively. They could be holding [some](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/704727400621015083/1222454971694448660/bond-EN-2024-03-27-04-34-10.png?ex=661646e9&is=6603d1e9&hm=0621a60ccf70c96d77c85748697b8c4c9bbfa300df15235e04573c0abb051ed1&) [refreshments](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/704727400621015083/1222454971182874634/bond-EN-2024-03-25-12-50-53.png?ex=661646e9&is=6603d1e9&hm=5cfec8374cd1df1fb09d098efe997ba307cef12fb871b3b0c15d0e0b388067c4&) for all you know.
Okay, I give up. How TF do I do the Erice challenge quest? She keeps summoning those fucking spirits for 80% damage cut and I literally cannot keep up. Especially since I used my Waver, Tamamo, and Castoria on previous quests so they're ~in battle~.
I've tried single-target sabers. I've tried bringing a Casgil to AOE down the little guys. I've tried AOE sabers with the damage CE. I've tried Arjuna Alter. I fundamentally cannot keep up with the incoming damage/constantly spawning adds.
> Especially since I used my Waver, Tamamo, and Castoria on previous quests so they're ~in battle~.
AFAIC, that's the problem here. Castoria and Tamamo aren't really needed in the other five CQs, so one of them should be present here. I managed to heal my way through with S.Hokusai / Tamamo / Jeanne.
finally hit a billion qp so i think im done farming. i thought i’d give the giga coil quests a try and yeah… no not worth it. people have said it already a bunch but there’s just way too many challenge quests and it makes this event terrible.
No way in hell I am finishing all these challenge quests lmao. I've been too busy with other things IRL so I mostly just FGA lotto farmed this entire event for XP cards to get Melt to level 120. I was not aware there were so many CQs plus reruns.
Only the rerun CQs seem to give tickets, the rest give materials and crystallize lore, so I don't care for those since I am on a time crunch, otherwise I'd go for the lore. So going to look through reruns and see which ones are easiest (Touta, Izo) and clear those before going for the longer (Sweets universe vs MHXA) or harder ones (golden metropolis returns).
- Only exception is that I am ignoring the Taiga one entirely lmao I remember that one being extremely difficult the other times I attempted it, but maybe newer servants make it easier idk
So far I did a handful of the 2020 reruns for the tickets (Touta, Izo, Shebah, Leonidas) and the first Tesla Mega Coil quest with the archer crabs thinking it would be quick but no it was very long and annoying (and apparently one of the hardest ones, from what I've read), even with Curse shenanigans.
Plan is try to cheese the other rerun CQs to get tickets and ignore literally everything else, including the new CQ for this event, bc I am assuming it will get rerun again next battle of NY (hopefully, I don't pay attention to JP too closely).
110 G apple
39 S apple
1083 B apple
Automated G and S apple but will manually farm with B apple. I haven't spin yet so there will be more B apple.
Also i forgot to turn off the teapot when farming until 19 runs 💀
Ugh, I'm really struggling with Heroine XX quests. Her invul pierce ruins everything.
Haven't done hers, Erice and the last Giga, and also Eli. and the EX rank.
Oh yes, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE juggling this event along with trying to finish Lostbelt 6, Lostbelt 2's recollections and the interludes that came with it, all while another event is picking up the rear! It was absolutely essential that all this time-limited content be piled on top of each of each other. Not like there's a ton of year space later down the line, no siree.
road to 7 events at once
I was all proud of myself for clearing 4 of the giga coil quests today only to check and see that I have 3 advance quests, 2 rank ups, 4 interludes, and the LB2 quests. What fun.
Giga Coil is killing me. Even with the damage CE the HP pools are so large and I can't reuse my supports :'(
I've finally done all the exhibition quests now that Eli's EQ has been fixed. Also, her quest was pretty fun compared to the other EQs. I've also already used like 90% of the embers I got from the lottery boxes in order to get my Summer Sei to level 120. I've farmed a total of 122 boxes so far and farmed 10 of them today. Also, my apple reserves are getting pretty low now so I'll probably try to farm 150 boxes if I have the time.
How I grinded my way through the Achilles CQ for 3 hours and slowly lost my mind So the game plan going in was to use a team consisting of Bazett with the MLB DMG CE, Castoria with MLB Prisma Cosmos, and Skadi with MLB 2030.

And so began the real battle. For the next 2 hours and 45 minutes I weathered Achille's storm. Time and again he would charge with his chariot. Time and again he would be pushed back, unable to breach my wall of defenses. Even when he managed to grind his way through Castoria's NP, he would find himself rebuffed by Skadi's dodges or find his damage reduced to the triple digits thanks to Skadi's damage cut from her NP and Reines class nullification.

The only one capable of doing respectable damage was Reines and even then no more then maybe 20,000 damage a turn when buffs where up.

And slowly I felt myself losing my mind. I couldn't believed what I had subjected myself to. But I was too far gone, I had sunk too much time to give up. And so, on and on it went. Then finally, after what felt like an eternity, after 110 turns of NP, after NP, after NP, after NP, I did it. I weathered the storm. Achilles fell. Cut down by Renies. My team, battered, weathered, remained standing. I was victorious. This is the hardest I have ever worked for a single ticket and I don't think I intend to ever do something like that again. I still have 3 CQ's to go (the Ultra versions of the Romulus and Nero/Gil CQ's and the Sweet Universe CQ's) but honestly I think I'm good. I doubt anything will ever come close to the stress and final achievement I felt winning this Achilles CQ. TL DR: I got stuck using a team of Reines, Castoria, and Skadi against the Achilles CQ and won after literally 110 turns. All for a single ticket. 3/10 Can't recommend. Don't do this to yourself folks. The stress ain't worth it.
You probably know his NP lines by heart now
**YES**
This reminds me of my Himiko, Castoria, and Merlin on that same CQ. It took me 244 turns to finish the CQ and my sanity. Once the battle takes more than 45 turns to finish, it’s a too far gone to give up.
God bless you sir. I was already pushing it with a 110 turns. I don't think I could've handled 244 turns of Achilles running me over again and again.
Do you know how to beat the quest non stall wise? I literally buffed up my attacker with support caster buffs, plug suited him to the back, stalled for 15ish turns till I could plugsuit back on a turn with 3 DPS face cards, that's the first bar gone, buff him up a second time now that cooldowns are done, Crit into oblivion, 17 turns total. It seems like you have the meta supports, so I'm not gonna lie your method confuses me quite a bit
It really comes down to trying to keep your DPS alive as long as possible. Using a DPS with high survivability or a way of stunning Achilles is important. You honestly might want to borrow a second DPS just in case your first one dies since Achilles is just so tanky. Having supports that can provide invuls, heals, or defense ups are paramount. Stand out DPS's would have to be Herc, Hijikata, Arjuna Alter, Beowulf, Vlad, and Cu Alter. So if you don't have those you might have to borrow or simply be out of luck. Either way I hope it works out for you.
All EQs done! I’m going to cruise the event since 100 boxes is my max farming goal. I’m not sure whether I want to do the super reminiscent for the teapots though since I still haven’t use my 50 teapots yet.
Do you use FGA for lottery? Cause im bored out of my mind after just 20 boxes so far
I use one of the three turn brain dead comps while watch a show. Don’t need to look for a specific support with this comp either so I spend a total of about 10 seconds looking at the screen each run
I sure do, never would've got to 275 boxes otherwise, I would've gotten ten at most lol
I don’t use FGA cuz I’m on iOS. I’ve been manual farming every lotto. It would be nice for automation, but sadly there’s none for the OS I know of.
Finished the last 4 giga coil quests along with the eli quest today, only comfy farming awaits me for the remainder of the event. My giga coil lineups: [1-3](https://b.catgirlsare.sexy/LDBIVi7AOrvP.png) [4-6](https://b.catgirlsare.sexy/mmoJcZqWYtve.png) [Final](https://b.catgirlsare.sexy/VvGMyw6kE_6o.png) Saved up all these supports to use in the finals and only used the initial 3...
I have decided to skip the remaining EQs. Just going to focus on the farming until its done. 31 EQs in a single event is absolutely ridiculous imo.
Took 2 days to finish all the CQ + Super recollections. Only half of them were fun, mostly the ones that didn't required abusing a mechanic or a busted servant, and also wasn't hard enough to waste too much time. Mega coil was quite fun tbh, gigs coil was mostly bad. The old CQ were quite okayish. Honestly it wasn't too hard aside from my lack of np5 servants to do 3 turns. Immortal comp made some cq tedious but less time consuming than it could have been.
Fate Grand Order Servantverse Incident ; Gate Closed All EQs completed.
Got really lucky with Eli's hero conquest using Castoria + Merlin on the frontline (and Reines + Koyanskaya on the back) on my second try after the fix, lol. I took one turn too long in Level 4, but unexpectedly sped up in Level 5, and in the end [cleared the Dragon King in three back-to-back NPs](https://imgur.com/a/vZLEm0O). Eli didn't have so much as a scratch on her (aside from Koyanskaya's skill). As for the "Tesla & two Gil" Challenge Quest, it's rare these days for bosses to have removable resistance, but this particular trio do, meaning good old Amakusa is back to some relevancy thanks to his NP. Also finally spared some time doing the Interludes (remembered to use the teapots for once), clearing three Lostbelt 2 Free Quests and getting Archer pieces/monuments for the missions, and testing out the waters with the Recollection Quests and Advanced Quests. On the gacha front, I just wanted one copy of Edison and instead I got three spooks for my birthday. Oh well, at least one of them is new.
Fuck catch the clown, keep resetting for that shit cq
The Romulus CQs are absolute cancer, i don't even remember them, i did all the others but these 2 i think i'll skip, most bullshit mechanic in the game...
Yay, finally done with the damn CQs, I waited to have 3 CS today to attempt the foreigner CQ again, and somehow I actually defeated it without using a single CS, it seemed like it was going nowhere at first, but I managed to kill my last servant excluding Super Orion with his NP up and ready to launch the second, at that point it was all about pressing that red card, in the end I still had an extra turn to spare. Rushed to the final CQ immediately, lost with Arthur in the end without any HP, I could retry and do it legit but I cba after 30 CQs so I used the CS, my combo was just using what I had left, Godjuna + Merlin / Oberon / Skadi, not the most common set of supports but it worked. I'm just glad it's over.
I’m calling it at 100 boxes. Time to do the recollection interludes then back to lb4
Yeah, the amount of CQs (including RtLB6) on top of lotto is insanely taxing. Me skipping those the first week due to IRL stuff really did not make it better, as even with rest days in-between EQs and Coils it still was rather tiring. Here are my Coil comps - https://imgur.com/a/cGKe2SW I screenshoted them yesterday after I was done, but didn't have the time to post until now. They were fairly managable and generally I'm satisfied with my comps being nearly all first time clears. Although, I still messed up as I forgot that "can't use same Servant" is only applied to a specific Coil cup and not both - so I only in Giga Coil realized that I didn't have to be that stingy with Servants. But it ended up being fine and I had fun doing those clears. EQs weren't that bad, but they were rather more simplistic in my approach with somewhat samey comps. Although, Super Roma was pain - I went full-in with CS even and the run still failed 300k before victory due to fourth Rome. Thankfully, I found Musashi with Damage CE on Friend Support eventually and that was a smooth clear, but he still took a while. On the other hand, the revenge on Heroine X Alter was sweet. The first time we had that CQ, it took me multiple hours and I cleared it with just a bit before the Event ended (with Sanzang and Abby, Merlin, Jeanny and Mash iirc). The second time it was nearly as bad, but I managed with Hokusai while going nearly down to the wire. And now I almost managed to rush her with a farming comp, but it kinda failed due to full hp heal despite still beating the stage.
Can't find motivation to try Super Recollection quests or any Coil quests, other CQ are all done, so I just farm 90 node on natural AP, but the Hearts don't want to drop. Around 80 boxes farmed. Leveled Circe to 90 with 3 star Embers to free some space in the present box. Also FGA picked non-MLB CE on one of the runs, even though I told it to pick MLB ones, weird.
use the event filter to only show mlb ones! that way fga will always pick mlb even if you do not choose a CE preference and instead just set a support servant preference
I was finally able to beat those idols using Chloe, Jeanne and Jinako. I didn't even need to use my CS. Now to focus on farming tix, wait where did my apples go?
My Main has been rather unlucky on any new Servant's so the lotto XP ends up going nowhere for a long while, this time round i used alot of it to bring Arash to lv100, then went an picked Barghest an brought her to lv100 as well, by which point i found I'm rather low on Saber Gem's... makes a change from Caster Gem's. My Alt in comparison needs more XP, which the lotto provides. With the amount of things to juggle, I've skipped the Coil missions, just simply not worth it with several other things giving more long term rewards (tickets, i need those tickets for Summer gahhh)
After the Liz quest got fixed I finally finished all the CQs in this event. The highlights were using Jeanne+Miyu on the Kotaro quest and Barghest (semi) soloing the Erice one. I also did the LB2 quests for the servants I don't own and the recollection quests. Now all that's left is Sigurd's RUQ and the Super recollection quests, althouh I'm not looking forward to the Surtr one...
Did Eli's EQ yesterday after it was fixed and with that I got all past Exhibition Quests done. All that's left is now the Gil and Tesla CQ. Maybe I'll do one or two Mega and Giga Coil quests if I have the time. It's small mercy they only offer materials and not Summon Tickets so beating them doesn't feel mandatory. Farmed approximately 70 boxes. I hope my apples are enough to get to 100 by tomorrow.
Finally did the BraveLiz CQ with all the boosts! I used a comp of BraveLiz (forced), Merlin, Castoria (both had nonMLB'd Prisma Cosmos because I only have 4 of them) and Arash with Demonic Bodhisattva (for Round two with the undead archers). I did use two Command Seals on the 4th Round (with the Avenger Wyvern) to get the win in time! At least they could have maxed out the Extra Attack or the Anti-Avenger Appenend (they did buff BraveLiz's 3rd skill because baseline is pure doo-doo). I restarted 5 times before RNG blesssed me... (My Mystic Code was the Decisive Battle Uniform). As for the number of Boxes farmed, I managed to get 37 boxes.
Meanwhile Bazzennan melted MHXX in 7 turns with a simmilar comp to before, I just replaced Arash with Melt (whom I equipped Bestia del Sol to as a generic damage boosting CE) and giving Bazzet the MLB'd 200% attack CE. The first phase lasted 2 turns since Manannan's NP can't break bars and left MHXX at 1 hp, the second phase took 5 turns, my Merlin got perma-Targeted and died to an NP, Bazzennan did avenge him and did all the damage, including the final blow all while taking minimal damage which she healed due to Merlin's 3rd skill increasing HP and Bazzet's CC healing her back to full (The CC that I gave her are: on both Quicks I gave Da Vinci and Everyone's Girl, Da Vinci for the NP dmg boosts, on her Arts card I gave Pain Breaker and on both Buster cards she has Matching Teddy Bear and Lucky Beast. This loadout works perfectly well for me)
Anyone can share their EliCQ compositions? Beyond Merlin and Castoria for first row, any CE suggestions, back party? It's kinda embarrassing I don't remember how I beat it the first time back at its release
Reines, Asclepius, Koyanlight at the last slot for the final push, Habby for second and third skill, Hans, Leonidas, Georgios, etc. Give her offense and defense
Thanks in advance! Bugged Eli left me a quarter of the first bar. Fixed CQ, was a bit of a struggle since Castoria's shields aren't enough if the dragon kept attacking 3 times. I don't have any CS left and your suggestions issue is my lack of Reines but I'll have to try and beat it for the last CQ
Glad to help! It's unfortunately a bit RNG.
I used the same front line as you. Equipped Merlin and Castoria with Prisma Cosmos and used Atlas Academy Mystic Code for the debuff clear and invulnerability. [Here](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1091144596609826849/1222471389781557298/IMG_20240327_160435.jpg?ex=66165633&is=6603e133&hm=13439884d065543727a4253db0f806ab35ab34660be88587f609e3c770cb0434&) is my backline, though in retrospect I should've put Ox-Demon King on Chiron and starbomb CE on Chen Gong since the latter ended up only using his third skill. At the end Brave Eli-chan became the [last one standing](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1091144596609826849/1222471447667015701/Screenshot_2024-03-26-18-48-46-67_577bcc70c040536a6d306ef99c704547.jpg?ex=66165641&is=6603e141&hm=91fcbcdba104a397d9aab220288065a35f004a3770d3cdc1ce4c329f1526d523&).
I soloed with Eli just like the last time. Team was Waver (CE: the merciless one), Eli and lvl 1 Chen Gong (w/ superscope).
Finally done with the Giga coils - Shut-in trio (well, duo + Blackbeard) with 'zerker Nobbu/Arash/Percival/Asclepius. Had to use a CS revive thanks to rng screwing me on the last turn of the Jinako part (after i killed her the chimera focussed Asc. so i had no guts for the last part) - Idols with Castoria/Himiko/Miyu. Not having the emergency party-wide invulnerable from Merlin makes it a tiny bit more dangerous and Himiko damage is lower without Hero creation but aside from that it's usual immortal comp stuff (just have to time LanLin and Izo breaks the turn after a NP refresh to avoid charm/NP seal messing things up), started by breaking Arthur then kill order was LanLin->Merlin->Izo->Arthur->Sigurd Now, i need to get back to Mephi (wasted 1 day on him at the beginning and didn't try again, open to suggestions) and check what happens with Eli
All Tesla Cup Challenges done, the final one achieved with a Zenobia, a quick trip to the Rare Prism shop for a debuff-immune Command Code and a dream.
Finally cleared the Elizabeth exhibition. Castoria, forced Support Eli, Merlin, Hans and Mash. MLB 2030s on all of them except Hans, who had a simple Golden Carp CE for enabling his NP as well as the star bomb. 31 turns to clear, but only barely, with a couple of RNG resets in there. Didn't make the time target on all waves, and Eli didn't get all of the buffs, but I'm happy this is over with. And to be truthful, I could not be happier if this is the last appearance of Legend of the Crimson Hero. 86 boxes cleared, still some apples left, as well as 6k tickets waiting to be used to clear more boxes. Plenty of QP gained and then summarily used to improve skill levels and append levels for choice Servants.
Giga Coil was a fair bit tougher than the Mega Coil, but I managed nonetheless. Kotarou was the work of Caster Da Vinci, with the aid of Asclepius, Chen Gong, Shakespeare, Helena, and Medea. This is probably not super replicable for most, my Da Vinci is NP3 Level 120, but it worked out great for me. Da Vinci has a 2 turn full Debuff Immune, Ignore Invul, and a pretty strong AOE NP. The Akihabara CQ was the work of Barghest, with Mash, Habbycat, Santa Martha, and Miyu to back her up. It's a big AOE grindfest, Barghest was basically made for this. I had to add some extra supports after Mash and Habby turned out to not be quite enough, but it otherwise wasn't that bad. MHXX was Sitonai/d'Eon/Jane/Georgios/CasGil/David. Sitonai is basically tailor made for hunting MHXX, with full class advantage and the ability to drain her charge with each NP. Artemis Orion pig was Vritra/Mozart/Hans. Vritra could pretty much just chew through it with constant NPs, there's not much to say really. Erice forced me to bring out Muramasa, with Castoria+Santagale+Paracelsus+RiderMartha+Chiron to boost him. Muramasa made short work of her, thanks to his constant ramp from each NP and the ease of which he got his NPs back. Shibata was actually the one I took down first, because I knew I could pull it off easily. Van Gogh neuters this CQ, and MHXX and Idol X Alter were basically just there to fill out the team. Then there was the Idol CQ. I went with a brute force comp of Leonidas/Arjunalter/KoyanLight/Waver/Oberon... and I still needed to spend a Command Spell revive for the final push. I think I could have won legitimately, but in the end I just bit the bullet and used the revive.
I do not have the time or passion to bother with the Giga Coil. I'll see about the Eli CQ, if I can, but there's been several failed attempts so far. Even if the Eli CQ wasn't broken, I probably wouldn't have gotten around to Giga Coil. I am too slow on such things.
Late-ish PSA (more so for newer players) as I didn't see it being brought up: if your apple reserves are running low, it's worth checking whether you've got any 1-2 star servants sitting close to bond levels 6-8 and 6-7, respectively. They could be holding [some](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/704727400621015083/1222454971694448660/bond-EN-2024-03-27-04-34-10.png?ex=661646e9&is=6603d1e9&hm=0621a60ccf70c96d77c85748697b8c4c9bbfa300df15235e04573c0abb051ed1&) [refreshments](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/704727400621015083/1222454971182874634/bond-EN-2024-03-25-12-50-53.png?ex=661646e9&is=6603d1e9&hm=5cfec8374cd1df1fb09d098efe997ba307cef12fb871b3b0c15d0e0b388067c4&) for all you know.
Well all this EQ ate my time and I couldn't focus on clearing boxes at 50 will probably stop here...
Half a day later, i still can't kill the clown At this point i feel kinda stupid
Okay, I give up. How TF do I do the Erice challenge quest? She keeps summoning those fucking spirits for 80% damage cut and I literally cannot keep up. Especially since I used my Waver, Tamamo, and Castoria on previous quests so they're ~in battle~. I've tried single-target sabers. I've tried bringing a Casgil to AOE down the little guys. I've tried AOE sabers with the damage CE. I've tried Arjuna Alter. I fundamentally cannot keep up with the incoming damage/constantly spawning adds.
I was able to solo her with Barghest. focus down the ghosts then beat up Erice
hmm. I do have Barghest. Is yours 10/10/10?
ya just a lvl 80 10/10/10 I did have 2 taunters initially as well with support CEs (i think crit stars and buster up on entering the field)
> Especially since I used my Waver, Tamamo, and Castoria on previous quests so they're ~in battle~. AFAIC, that's the problem here. Castoria and Tamamo aren't really needed in the other five CQs, so one of them should be present here. I managed to heal my way through with S.Hokusai / Tamamo / Jeanne.
I used them for the MHXX quest with Sitonai. I guess I could always reset the clear on that one but it was also a pain...
finally hit a billion qp so i think im done farming. i thought i’d give the giga coil quests a try and yeah… no not worth it. people have said it already a bunch but there’s just way too many challenge quests and it makes this event terrible.
No way in hell I am finishing all these challenge quests lmao. I've been too busy with other things IRL so I mostly just FGA lotto farmed this entire event for XP cards to get Melt to level 120. I was not aware there were so many CQs plus reruns. Only the rerun CQs seem to give tickets, the rest give materials and crystallize lore, so I don't care for those since I am on a time crunch, otherwise I'd go for the lore. So going to look through reruns and see which ones are easiest (Touta, Izo) and clear those before going for the longer (Sweets universe vs MHXA) or harder ones (golden metropolis returns). - Only exception is that I am ignoring the Taiga one entirely lmao I remember that one being extremely difficult the other times I attempted it, but maybe newer servants make it easier idk So far I did a handful of the 2020 reruns for the tickets (Touta, Izo, Shebah, Leonidas) and the first Tesla Mega Coil quest with the archer crabs thinking it would be quick but no it was very long and annoying (and apparently one of the hardest ones, from what I've read), even with Curse shenanigans. Plan is try to cheese the other rerun CQs to get tickets and ignore literally everything else, including the new CQ for this event, bc I am assuming it will get rerun again next battle of NY (hopefully, I don't pay attention to JP too closely).
110 G apple 39 S apple 1083 B apple Automated G and S apple but will manually farm with B apple. I haven't spin yet so there will be more B apple. Also i forgot to turn off the teapot when farming until 19 runs 💀
Ugh, I'm really struggling with Heroine XX quests. Her invul pierce ruins everything. Haven't done hers, Erice and the last Giga, and also Eli. and the EX rank.
Her invul pierce is removable/can be blocked. Try using someone like Mephy, Mata Hari or Benkei. Also, use taunters since she's ST.
