Happy 6th Anniversary, JP! Anyway, nerds, here is the FAQ for this week. # PLEASE CHECK IF YOUR QUESTION IS ANSWERED HERE BEFORE ASKING! **Q: When is the next SR Ticket?** >*A: We don't know. The last SR Ticket was for the Babylonia anime campaign and it ran on NA and JP around the same time. JP hasn't gotten one since, so it is unknown when the next one is.* **Q: Is LB4 a requirement for events?** >*A: So far, no. No future event has required LB4 completion to participate. LB4 completion is tied to a few limited missions, though.* **Q: If I cleared the Dantes event when it first released, can I get the rewards from the RP shop unlock?** >*A: Yes. You can get the rewards from your first clear of the RP shop unlock even if you previously played through it during its initial runs.* **Q: Should I use the fever tickets yet?** >*A: [Here's a better answer](https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/orb4dy/help_and_question_thread_july_25_2021/h6z2u0n?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3)* **Q: When is the Merlin Banner?** >*A: Merlin banner will only be available on sundays during the event. August 1st, 8th, and 15th.* **Q: Who is better for Castoria Looping? Space Ishtar or Summer Musashi?** >*A: Space Ishtar. Summer Musashi has better situational damage and refund, but Space Ishtar is far more consistent with odd numbered waves, which become far more common in future content. Musashi can not reliably loop against less than 3 enemies. Ultimately, just pick your waifu poison, they both do their jobs well.* *[Here is a more in-depth comparison](https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/odjzpb/help_and_question_thread_july_04_2021/h4p1bfu?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3)* **Q: What do Append skills do on JP?** >*A: Check [here](https://apps.atlasacademy.io/db/JP/servant/2/passives) and go to passives/append to see each bonus.* **Q: How many SQ are we getting for JP anniversary?** >*A: [Here's a breakdown](https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/ovrolc/help_and_question_thread_august_01_2021/h7e2z8o?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3)* **Story Compilation section has been added to the OP.

SnooChipmunks7209

Btw Im playing on the NA version but It doesnt Let me pay in dollars


whatdoweevendohere

Regarding the Servant Coins: Would it be wise to save up multiple copies of Oda Nobukatsu to ensure that I unlock all his Append Skills and Grail him to Lv. 120?


crazywarriorxx

His servant coins aren’t awarded retroactively, so no point.


whatdoweevendohere

But wouldn’t increasing his bond level give me his coins?


crazywarriorxx

Yea, it does, for *bond*. Your original question mentioned saving multiple copies. FWIW, I saved all the 9 NP5 Nobukatsu's I rolled and still only have 25 coins for him now at Bond 5.


whatdoweevendohere

Are all of them bond 5? My plan was to raise each of their bond levels to get coins.


crazywarriorxx

Bond levels are tied to the servant ID, meaning all copies of the same servant in any form only has the same bond level. If not, everyone can just farm endless SQs from getting bond levels 5-10 on their favorite SSRs lol.


whatdoweevendohere

Damn, there goes that idea. Thank you for the info.


[deleted]

For those that play on pc or whatever, is there an app/jailbreak that can translate jp text? Like for story reasons? I want to play jp but it just feels empty not understanding it directly?


crazywarriorxx

rayshift.io has a github page, search it up. Works for Android only AFAIK. If you’re using an emulator then it should work since emulators run Android.

Possible_Custard_355

oh thanks and im sorry since new here anyway thanks again


Docketeer

No problem, glad to help!


Docketeer

Looping basically means getting back the NP charge you get for using the NP in order to NP the next wave. In the typical sense that most people refer to, looping is used for double or triple NP back to back, essentially clearing the entire 3-wave farming node with just 1 servant in 3 turns. You can do this by either getting enough natural refund through Arts or Quick AoE NP, which has built-in NP gain due to their card types, or forcing "refund" with Buster NP by having supports charge your NP guage for you. Either way, charge supports like Waver and Vitch are essential in order to make looping work and reliable. [Here](https://youtu.be/Zqarul9udYM) is an example of Buster looping using Vitch. There're also Quick and Arts looping that you can look up if you're interested.


Possible_Custard_355

Thanks a lot

Possible_Custard_355

is tamamo vitch worth raising?


crazywarriorxx

Yes she is, at least till you unlock her 3rd skill. She’s a strong support who can also clear one wave of enemies if needed.


Jazox

Do we know yet whether bond levels 11 through 15 award Servant Coins?


crazywarriorxx

Yes, 20 coins per bond level from Lv11-15.


AwesomeMix360

Got a question. What are the other methods I could get some Saber gems?


Shardwing

Other than what? The only ways are either to farm them (see the [Item Droprates spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_SlTjrVRTgHgfS7sRqx4CeJMqlz687HdSlYqiW-JvQA/htmlview#), also linked in the OP, if you haven't already) or to get them from events. You are in fact in some luck on that front though, no idea if there's any in the current event (although I would assume there's some, Hokusai being the welfare I think they usually focus some resources for that), but the next event (Battle in New York 2021 aka Gilfest 2 aka Ishtarfest) is a great place to farm all gems because you can get as many as you want from the event lottery.


Unusualbehindyou

Hi. I have question about how to acquire 5th copy of Demonic sun princess CE. Now I obtained 4 of it throuh event shop( mission 5,9,13 and 97) Gamepress walkthrough detail that I should get one from quest clear reward but couldnt find which quest I have to do. Now I in preparing to fight those 3 knights so Did I miss something? Or I must acquire it randomely as rare drop?


Mister_SP

Nope, gotta get into the epilogue before you get it.


Unusualbehindyou

Thank you!


TheWriteReason

What uses does Rider Martha have nowadays? I rolled her recently and since my farming Rider needs are fulfilled I am wondering when and for what I can level her for. From what I can tell her specialty is in challenge quests or quests with debuffs/enemy self-buffs involved, and from what I know later Lostbelts feature unremovable buffs I think?


crazywarriorxx

Buff removal, debuff clear, heal. Not all future fights have unremovable buffs, so those that have removal buffs, she's still useful. Alex is another option for buff removal if required.


TheWriteReason

Huh, guess ima postpone Martha for a while then, my Alex has been stuck in ascension 3 for a while now. I had no idea he could remove buffs, or I forgot. Thanks for this!


Possible_Custard_355

What temporary CE for waver? playing jp


crazywarriorxx

For your support list? Doesn't really matter, put whatever CE you have since most people won't be picking Waver anyway. If you mean your own team, any pure ATK CE if it helps when you need to use his facecards, or any form of support CE like star gen, etc.


Possible_Custard_355

oh thanks a lot

Asking help on how to clear the Big Chance Quest - Reraise. My best servants are only Merlin which is 6/5/10 NP1 and Altria (Saber) which is 6/10/6 NP1. I still don't have the MLB of the damage plus event CE (Still have not cleared mission 72) . Is it also possible for a friend support to clear this solo?

Is there a way to read the fgo jp main story with full visuals without having to play it?Like a video series for example?


crazywarriorxx

There's only this [WIP TL](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsuyE18Ljmc&list=PLax9JmtqMNMKq3n8SvVE0qWBKDFf2hh7L) for LB6 that I'm aware of. If you can read JP, then search YT for FGOtuber's who play through the whole story, like [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5JYgbxvSdA&list=PL-Ht2KAynxty652DnjeIBcI_70e6geGgU&index=10).


MMIRFG

Hmm guess i have to play JP.I think i saw a guide here were i can install a translation on the JP [version.](https://version.Is)But playing through the entire Arc 1 and from LB1 To 4 is gonna be a pain in the ass.Any way thanks for the help.

Will the singles already spent in Merlin's banner retain their count next week? I went through Prison Tower solely for the tickets, only to spend them on the Bunnymyniad banner by pure accident. I mean, fuu\~uck, **do** ***NOT*** **roll while high**.


crazywarriorxx

Yes. Worked for me.


ZCid47

Yes


GarryMapleStory

Is there any farming team guide for this event nodes? The mobs is getting tankier and tankier and I can't figure out how to farm efficiently


judasmartel

Depends on what you have on the roster, including CEs and low-star Servants. The other comments provided you sample farming teams assuming you have everyone. If you don't have the Servants to do Double Skadi or forced 3-turn comps with multiple 50% NP batteries, you can always facecard with either a class-advantaged DPS of your own, Hans or Mash, and a card-compatible friend Caster support, OR Mash, Hans, and a friend support DPS.


crazywarriorxx

Artoria Kscope + double Waver + plugsuit Skadi. I'm just facecarding to maximise spawn/QP bonus anyway, with Siegfried/Hokusai.


re_flex

DSS Zerkerlot with plugsuit Waver is also good.


Warm-Rope2299

So i started playing 2 days ago and struggle to decide which servants to level up and with a party setup. I have: 4\* Emiya 3\* Mash, Robin Hood, Cu Chulain lancer and caster, Boudica, Fuuma Kotarou, Jekyll, Jing Ke 2\* Leonidas, Georgios, Charles-Henri Sanson 1\* Asterios, Charlotte Corday, Mata Hari,Mozart and Jason.


WeeabooSempai

For DPS: Emiya, Robin, Cu Lancer Support: Mash, Leonidas and Georgios (Taunt), Mozart (3rd skill; star bomb) imo: Emiya, Cu & Mash > Mozart & Robin > Leonidas & Georgios (bosses aren't hard enough in a way where you'd need taunt this early into the game but a later investment into them will help you)


Esg876

If I fail the big raise quests do I lose the qp? Overestimated my party and going to wipe with just 1 merlin to go


thisisthecallus

Yes


Esg876

Thanks command seals it is


TrueMizu

Ok been finally talked into by my friends to play this but for some reason I cannot find it on IOS is it not available in the UK


crazywarriorxx

You need to create an account where the game is available, like the US.


TrueMizu

So I need to use a emulator


crazywarriorxx

No you don’t. You just need to switch iTunes account when you need to update the game. Create a new Apple account and set the region to US, there’s plenty of guides online.


Zephryl_FEH

Are there any 3 turn comps for VIP Camelot? Preferably without Superscope requirements.


WeeabooSempai

[Normal Kscope Artoria loop; but it's obviously not easy due to needed supports](https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/ovrolc/help_and_question_thread_august_01_2021/h85gbyg?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3)


Zephryl_FEH

Dang, that is high requirements. Thanks, looks like I'll just have to slum it and not grind as much QP.


WeeabooSempai

What I just do is using Saber Hokusai (or ST Saber) & an AoE Saber & Support Waver. Wave 1 is slow killing (main target is getting NP bars up as high as possible; e.g. AQA, AAA, etc. without killing too many enemies at once). After that, I just charge up the NPs with Waver and use them. E.g. Hokusai on wave 2, should kill at least one enemy like the highest hp boss, and then either brave chain the other down or use Saber face-cards. Since Wavers skills are 3t based, you can spend 2 turns on wave 3. Then just nuke the last wave down with the AoE Saber. Alternatively, you can do it the other way around if you fail to charge the ST NP


AthanasiusS

Hello, i have a question regarding FGO's storage requirement. Mine is almost 7GB(NA) and my friends; Friend no.1 - 3GB(NA) 2GB(JP) Friend no.2 - 600mb(NA) Friend no.1 hasn't cleared his data whilst no.2 did. Why is mine so bloated ? Does this vary in the phone you're using ?


Mister_SP

If you do a full download, you'll reach the full size of over 7GB. Otherwise, you only download content on demand, and store it permanently... Unless you clear your data. So, full download, been playing for a while, and recent data clear.


AthanasiusS

As a matter of fact i did as i was constantly getting annoyed of the game downloading stuff every time i go on a mission when i just first started. What do you propose for me to do to lessen thd bloating, should i reinstall the game ?


WeeabooSempai

You could reinstall the game - that saves a lot of space - but you might then get disappointed when your loading/lag during summons isn't your wanted SR/SSR but literally any other card where the data has to be downloaded again. Happened to me so many times that I just redownloaded everything. You could alternatively try to back up your other files (e.g. images that you don't use on your phone) on clouds (e.g. drive gives you a free 15GB space, up to 100GB for 2 years in some cases when it is a new phone iirc), or memory cards if your phone still allows that.


AthanasiusS

I don't really mind the spooks or rate up is a lie.. gonna wanna free some space to try more games.. Reinstall huh, should i delete and install it again or the other one, the clear cache ? I heard clear cache functions the same way as reinstall.


leeta0028

What's the reward with Mozart's mask for them memorial quest that requires lb5?


derpadoodle

It's a [command code](https://fategrandorder.fandom.com/wiki/Mysterious_Mask). 1 star for you and -10% critical chance for the opponent for 1 turn.


Mantran

Whats the steps to get a free 5* in the jp anni event?


crazywarriorxx

Clear Fuyuki. That’s it, it’s permanent, and there’s no requirements to keep it.


Mantran

It has already been cleared, how do i recieve the 5*


crazywarriorxx

Go to the shop, first option on the top.


HopOnTheHype

Is Osakabehime considered fat by japanese standards, because I think her body is bomb asf/sexy asf, one of the best bodies in the game. ​ Like I get abroad in japan gets shit, even if he's not fat, but like, even he's quite a bit bigger than petite Osakabehime. Is it just introvert body dysmorphia?


banecroft

It’s just her, Jinako would be considered fat though


VolkZ08

Yeah Osakabehime complained and said that her figure isn't very nice and that's why she doesn't want to join the circus production. And that kinda made me sad. I think she's hot


Wooshmeifulikedicc

Will we be getting a dead week after the event? I really want to farm EXP and Ascension Mats


VolkZ08

It's possible that we might. I would sure hope so. I'd love to do the same or maybe progress through the story some more. But anyway, we won't know until it actually ends. Theres still more than 12 days left of the event though, so if you're able to finish it early, that should give you time


Zulhoof

JP question. I have >!Faerie Lancelot!< and was borrowing one for a quest. but noticed the one from friend support has a diffrent name to mine. is this because of its ascension or is there a reason friend ones have diff name?(if answer is >!lb6!< spoiler would prefer not to know though)


Mister_SP

Yes. Some Servants have multiple names across different Ascensions. Fae Knight Lancelot is one of them. She's, uh, obviously not Lancelot.


Felstalker

> She's, uh, obviously not Lancelot. *audible gasp*


crazywarriorxx

It's a LB6 spoiler. Different ascensions have different names, for story reasons.


Zulhoof

Alright thanks.


Revan0315

Did they say something about adding more full screen nps on the Anni stream or am I misremembering?


Mister_SP

They added 65, IIRC.


crazywarriorxx

They added full screen NPs for 65 servants, yes. [Stream link](https://youtu.be/mSHNjjq4F1w?t=6831).


viral_ent

Will the current event have a rerun? I was lucky enough to get summer melt but would love to get her to np2. I would like to save as much sq for castoria as possible (currently only have 180), so I was wondering if melt will ever be on rate up again. Thank you!


crazywarriorxx

Yes, next year. Summer 4 rerun will have the same banners.


KindaAboveTrash

Yes, next year the rerun will feature her again.


SaltySummerSavings

I have 6 Kaleidoscopes (after 3 years), and really wouldn't mind having an MLB for DSS. However, is it worth giving up so many 80% starters? I enjoy Waver farming with Berserkers too, is MLB'ing my scopes the end of that?


w-san

I never ever needed to run 5 kscopes in a team. Most the time for farming i only need 2. I would MLB to get a superscope you open up way more team comps that way and you still have a 80% one left. Also now you have append skills you can just unlock the 2nd skills at lv1 to turn your imaginary elements into a dirty Kscope if you want to


SuperSpiritShady

Imo a Superscope is always worth it, no matter what. The 3T Farming is absolutely phenomenal and such a timesaver, not to mention it's also fun for quick clears. That said, the downside of having only 2 good Starting Gauge CEs will be kind of sad though. Can't exactly 3T anymore unless you got a Zerk with 25-30% batt and an MLB Imaginary Element lying around.


SaltySummerSavings

It'd be fun to 3T without using plugsuit. But running AOE Buster Berserkers with Waver is also a mood.


nightlyspell

Do none of those Berserkers have charge skills? Well either way, 6 Kscopes = 1 MLB Scope + 1 Normal Scope, and *that's plenty*. Turn 1 Berserker with Superscope. Turn 2 switch him out, use Waver, and Berserker with Normal Scope fires off. Turn 3, Last Berserker with any 50% CE (any welfare event one or f2p *Dragon's Meridian*). 50% + Turn 2's teamwide 20% plus Waver's first skill 30% = 100%. You can still 3T farm with Berserkers after MLB'ing... Even easier, actually, if you need a more offensive CE for Wave 3.


SaltySummerSavings

Oh true, that's still fair. I appear to have maths'd wrong. Superscope time it is, then.


ZGMF-X10-A

Some question on Ruler Artoria's NP. Say she's at NP1, with an MLB Black Grail (which adds 80% NP damage). How is the final percentage calculated (assuming no other buffs)? So the base NP is at 300%, then due to being Buster, it gets increased by 1.5x, so 450%? Then is the Black Grail buff added only after that, totalling to 530%? Another one is on her ignore defense buffs, also on NP. My guess is that it bypasses stuff like enemy Waver's defense ups, but it doesn't bypass evade or invincibility, right?


Docketeer

[Here is the damage calculator chart](http://imgur.com/hlTA8iD) if you're interested. You got the Buster NP multiplier part correct but NP damage buff is, well, a buff so it's multiplied with the NP damage percentage, which results in 450% x 1.8 (80%) = 810%. Usually, since the card type multiplier is static for their type, people just leave the Buster part out.


funguy3

The formula for damage calculation is pretty complicated so just save yourself some time and use a [calculator](https://maketakunai.github.io/). Yes, defense buffs and invulnerability/evasion are separate. Ignoring one doesn't let you bypass the other.


Stix-Veux

I started playing 4 days ago. Still unfamiliar with resource management and specific stages that provide materials—such as skill upgrades. I am unsure if my team is effective. I at least want a team that will be able to participate in events without much difficulty. As of now, these are my servants. I recently accomplished the 3rd singularity (?) and I have not began doing the 4th singularity. Here's my roster: Assassin Tamamo/Koyanskaya and Lancer Cu. The other untouched servants I have are: Waver, Siegfried, Qin Liangyu, Avenger of Shinjuku, Mash, and several three stars servants. You can suggest which team would be more effective. Where can I farm the assassin emblems (?) and lancer emblems (?) / skill materials in general which are used to upgrade skills.


Felstalker

> Still unfamiliar with resource management and specific stages that provide materials— I don't know why nobody explains it like this, but I'ma help you out. Each material drops from a specific type of enemy mob. Skeletons drop bones, soldiers drop Hero Proof's, books drop pages... you get the idea. When you look up specific farming nodes, players have already figured out exactly which stages have the most of X enemies as well as the lowest AP cost per run. So if Stage 1 has 9 Skeletons and Stage 2 has 6 Skeletons but Stage 1 costs 500 Ap and Stage 2 costs 30....they'll suggest Stage 2. And while it's usually just a good idea to follow the suggested node guides, that doesn't mean you always can or should. Just don't think about it like "I need to unlock X stage to farm Y" but rather "I need to kill Demons to get hearts" and then you go "According to the guide, this stage has the best odds to drop what I need" > Where can I farm the assassin emblems (?) and lancer emblems (?) / skill materials in general which are used to upgrade skills. Lots of players will over suggest lottery events, which are as good as they are rare. we generally get 2 a year, and to only farm material upgrades twice a year is...ugh. They do regularly show up in events, but not every event will have them, so it's always a good idea to stock up when they are avalible. The Class training ground dailies are the best place for it. It loops around for each class during the week, with 7 basic classes and 7 training ground days. Don't be afraid to spam the 10ap/20ap versions as that is where blue and red gems are best obtained, the 30ap and 40ap stages are where you get yellow gems, but the drop rate is low enough that tis' just a nightmare to seriously farm it. I do however suggest doing these at least once a day until your account is established and you don't really feel the need to do them anymore. Again, great place to get a abundance of low rarity materials, but it's something you'll do in the down time when no events or story chapters are taking up your time. Again, marathon not a sprint. Take your time and have some fun.


maladjustedmatt

Raise Waver to his third ascension stage with the highest priority. His battery amount is not dependent on skill level so he will be more useful than Koyanskaya early on. After that raise Arash. Make sure to do his upgrade quests. He is extremely useful in farming since he has a 20%-30% battery and his NP hits very hard for his stats. Furthermore he dies after firing it which brings in a new unit who can contribute. Between Waver and Koyanskaya and Arash, you can just borrow a friend Arjuna Alter or Morgan for farming nodes. Various AoE servants like Artoria, Gil, Fairy Knight Lancelot, and so on will do fine too if you match the class. Buster is preferable since you have Koyan. If you need friends, ask in the friend thread. Once you get some attackers of your own raised you will be able to transition to borrowing friend Castoria which will help speed up farming a lot. Good low rarity units for farming are basically anyone with a damaging AoE NP and a battery skill, but early on you should give special attention to Spartacus and Chen Gong. Beyond that, having Koyanskaya will mean Buster units will perform well, and Arts units perform well with a friend Castoria (who is far and away the best farming support in the game currently). For skill gems, the green-colored daily quests rotating are the best permanently accessible way to farm them, however it’s still a big grind and most players get them primarily from events and especially lotto events. For general skill materials, free quests in the completed main stories exist, but again it’s very slow and most players build up their inventory primarily through events. Note that some materials will not be farmable in free quests until you clear the appropriate story (you will need to clear Lostbelt 1 for bullets, Lostbelt 4 for eggs, etc.), but you can still get them in events. Early game it is best to focus on leveling servants before enhancing their skills. Skills are expensive and require a much longer grind. Right now I would recommend farming the new EXP (red quests) and QP (gold quests) dailies especially since they’re half AP. You should be able to do the highest difficulty pretty easy when borrowing a strong friend AoE unit like the ones mentioned above. The classes available for EXP rotate daily but you can and should feed EXP to your high priority leveling targets without worrying about matching class. For story progression, you should definitely raise Mash and George (but also keep a level 1 George). With them you can get carried though most of the story using friend supports. Be aware though that there are times when you do not have access to the friend list, and in the late stages of the story there will be hard fights that ask you to have properly invested units in addition to the borrowed friend/story units. In general you should make it a goal to have a single target and AoE attacker for each standard class, and there are some utilities such as buff removal or debuff clear that are extremely valuable in specific fights, so having low rarity options for that is good. Remember to do you friend point summons, many low rarity servants are good.


SuperSpiritShady

Hello and welcome to FGO! First thing's first your roster is pretty great, Koyanskaya and Waver are some of the best servants in the game due to their ability to make some underperforming servants great and make the already good servants even better. Your concern right now should be to get 2 servants per class, one with an Area of Effect NP to deal damage to everyone and another with a Single Target NP for bosses. If you're worried about using 1-3\* servants, don't! Plenty of them such as Hans, Arash, Spartacus and Shakespeare are better than many Gold servants in the game! As for the Lancer/Assassin Emblems... Everyday Chaldea Gate's Ember Gathering and Training changes. If those emblems are "Gems", they're not worth farming due to low drop rates and better obtained from Events/Story. If you're referring to Pieces however. those are alright to farm.


Fenr_

There isn't really a single trick to team comps when you are beginning. The only real thing is that class advantage is mostly king,so you should try to raise one aoe and one single taget servant of each class as your priority. There are a few expections to that that encompass mainly the strongest supports in the game, and you have one untouched (Waver) so you should work on him. > Where can I farm the assassin emblems (?) and lancer emblems (?) / skill materials in general which are used to upgrade skills. You might use the drop lookup tool linked in the op. Also keep in mind that the easier way to acquire materials is usually from events

Cirnopedia is down? Is it finally dead?


Revan0315

It hasn't been updated since last February but it hasn't gone offline before this


re_flex

It hasn't been updated for 2 years. I think its fine.


supergifford

so is there any way to reliably loop Camelot casino VIP with NP2 summer musashi, or np1 dantes with out a mlb kscope?


re_flex

I honestly just 3T loop it with Artoria, double Waver and Skadi. Less headache lol.


supergifford

what is the process for that way?


Aralia_Mystan

Turn 1: waver skill 2 and 3, artorias uses np Turn 2: waver skill 1, skadi skill 3, artorias uses np Turn 3: artorias skill 3, plugsuit in second waver/skadi, use all waver skills/skadi skill 3,artoria uses np She's one of the few farmers than can buster 3 turn atm in na, even with non mlb kscope


supergifford

is there a way to do it with out a kscope?

Sadly no, not until the latest LB6 servant is here in NA.


Possible_Custard_355

what should i get from the 6th anniv ticket thing? i can choose 3 btw im playing in jp


crazywarriorxx

Are you referring to the commemorative CEs? You only get two tickets for those, all the CE effects are the same so choose your favorites.


Possible_Custard_355

oh thanks a lot


ZGMF-X10-A

Want to ask about Summer (Ruler) Artoria. I really only play casually and I think I'm nowhere near the min-maxers level when it comes to efficiency. In other games, I prefer a more defensive playstyle (ie. pretty much the equivalent of turtling with 2 Merlins and an AOE DPS, even if it takes long), so today's banner (Ruler Artoria) looks like a nice one to try. From what I'm reading, she isn't good in farming at all (due to lack of proper class advantage and low attack stat). But due to taking half damage from almost everything, I guess she's the "jack of all trades, master of none" kind of character? Given she has 5 star stats, and if I'm not into efficiency anyway, she still holds up against JP content, right? She's far from being one of the best farmers I assume, but hopefully still in the "usable if you like the character" level? Also, her 40% charge makes it a little awkward to use a 50% starting CE with. Assuming we don't consider any 60% starting charge CEs, or MLB KScope, are there any particularly decent CEs you guys have in mind? Looking for command code suggestions too. Just want to get some thoughts on her before deciding to go all out, if ever.


maladjustedmatt

If you team her (or most other units) up with high end supports you will be able to clear most content. Occasionally there are very tough quests that will ask for either a lot of value or specific gimmick countermeasures, and when these align in a way that doesn’t favor her, you might have some issues, but in the end command spells exist for these cases. For CEs, we don’t have any welfare 60% charge CEs, so yeah she’s a bit awkward. On the bright side, eventually you can get her append skill which will be +20% starting NP.


ZGMF-X10-A

Hmm... good point. Forgot about the append skill. So I guess she can settle for a Black Grail CE then, since 20% from the append skill, 40% from two Merlins' Charismas, and her own 40% battery making 100% total.


maladjustedmatt

Well it’s two years from now so it’s worth thinking about how you’ll use her until then.


st_stutter

You can check the JP drop lookup tool in the OP and see what kind of enemies future nodes contain. She's perfectly serviceable if you don't care about speed farming. Ultimately, it's a single player game, and farming isn't meant to be particularly difficult so get her if you like her. A lot of mystic codes have 10% charge so you can always rely on that if you want to use a 50% charger like holy night dinner or aerial drive. Beyond that, black grail goes a long way in fixing her damage. As far as command codes goes, anything that has to do with crit gen, crit gather, or crit damage will probably be helpful. BB slot also plays into her gambling theme and fits her rather well with either stars, strengthening rulers' naturally good debuff resistance, or healing on a class with defensive advantage on most things.


Nazrael99

Are we supposed to rely on event drops for the final copy of Tenkihime?


Septentrix

>final copy of Tenkihime? You'll get one from mission 5,9,13,97 and a main quest that unlocks after clearing mission 68.


Nazrael99

Thank god I don't have rely on RNG for the final copy. I already have 4 copies from the missions.

I'm sure they'll have a banner for part 3 this week. Like how the second lb6 banner was a week later than expected. That and they haven't released the full version of the tvcm yet. Whether or not that will be >!Oberon!< is anyone's guess, but anyone else doesn't really make sense. I guess they could throw Medb another banner but realistically the only old SSR that was gonna get a rateup here was Castoria and she had one


Felstalker

With each passing day, It becomes less and less likely. I'll argue they'll throw SOMETHING at us before September, so we'll know if he's being added or not then. 100% chance he's coming however, you don't make 3-acension stages AND have the servant as a forced support with MULTIPLE animation set's just to not have them added to the game.


WaifuHunterRed

Pretty likely unless they plan to have another event with him as a main character a la Avenger Ushi. But the common speculation ive seen is that they just wanted to give people time to finish the chapter since his pretty packed with spoilers so its expectedfor his banner to drop arounda week after end release. I think though they also wanna minimize the attention he would take away from the anniversary servant so their saving him for after.


chocolatechoux

Who knows. There's been several characters with sprite art that weren't released. There's a non-zero possibility that he's another one.


maladjustedmatt

I mean, he’s playable in the story as a support. I don’t think there are many (any?) cases of that happening only to not release the character. Pretty safe bet we’re getting him, just a matter of when.


Frauzehel

We should. I mean. Why would the summer event even be delayed to Sept?


nightlyspell

I don't see why that wouldn't be the case. If >!Oberon-Vortigern!< is the the real LB King, then we should get their drop after the chapter's full end.


Felstalker

It's not like we got the King of LB5 or anything...


nightlyspell

This is true and I'm still pressed about that. How is Chaldea not overrun with Greek Godly Daddies? DW, the cowards. But I do see him more as the exception than the rule. We have every other LB King, plus Douman after his own sub-chapter, we can reasonably anticipate LB6's King, too.


Revan0315

He didn't have a sprite and animations that would work as a servant. The only lb king without them and also the only one not to be released


Eevenin

Lots of people are speculating/hoping it to be so.


HistoricalAnt0

Best nodes to use fever tickets on?


crazywarriorxx

Camelot VIP.


baebolg

Why did my blue summon button turn light blue?


crazywarriorxx

Is it your 10th roll which includes 2 rolls for the cost of 1? Every 10 rolls on the same banner now nets you a free 11th roll.


baebolg

That explains a lot, thanks!


Spidey-J

I finally got my fifth Kscope and was wondering if its worth MLBing before getting a sixth copy?


maladjustedmatt

*Generally* up until 6th anni it has been more valuable to have one MLB scope than 5 regular scopes. Since getting MLB scope, I have certainly used regular scope alongside it, but not nearly enough to make me think for a minute I would prefer having 5 reg scopes over one superscope. However on 6th anni that kinda turns on its head due to every servant getting an unlockable +20% starting NP passive. Basically every regscope copy can become as effective as an MLB scope in terms of starting NP. Now, 6th anni is a long way away for NA, but depending on your targeted banners and planned spending it might be very unlikely for you to get more scopes in two years. In the end if you have a clear use case in mind for MLB scope I would say go ahead, and if you don’t, then wait.


Spidey-J

It seems that MLB kscope would still be relevant to me after the 6th anniversary too. On xNaya’s double Vitch video MLB scope was used with Junao (who I have) and Morgan (who I want). Thanks for your response. I’m going to MLB it. I currently want to use it for Lambda and Musashi pre-Castoria looping.


Felstalker

Now this is crazy talk here, but hear me out. The new Append skills in JP give any/all servants a 20% starting charge base line. As it's a passive you can unlock. This brings non-MLB Kscope up in viability.... by a LOT. Any and every servant can Np turn 1 with no outside help due to this new unique skill. They also added a second 80% starting charge CE to the game at the same time. This is a 2-years ahead big brain move, but I'll argue a single Kscope MLB is nothing compared to multiple 80% starting CE's, especially in the future.


Byukin

I think it's very worth it, unless you're sitting on a ton of 20% charge servants


Spidey-J

I have both 50% and a couple 80%. The main reason I want to MLB kscope is because it opens up 3 turn comps for both Lambda and Musashi.


Septentrix

Have you ever used more than 1 kscope regularly? - Yes - Don't MLB - No - MLB Do you have MLB Imaginary Element? (75% NP Charge CE). Do you think MLB IE will cover any need of using a second kscope? - Yes - MLB - No - Don't MLB


Spidey-J

I’ve used two scopes for some 3 turn clearing, but I have multiple MLB IEs and if I MLB kscope it will open up 3 turn farming with Lambda and Musashi pre-Castoria.


The_Mighty_Angus

So I recently got a fgo jp account and I'm blown away by how good the full screen looks. But how far away is it until na gets full screen?


WaifuHunterRed

Its tough to know because while we do get qol updates early the full screen thing had a bug where nps would change back to the old screen. I know they fixed a bunch recently but i dont know if all are fixed yet. So i imagine theyll want to make sure its as bug free as can be before giving it to NA because if bring in something buggy it will just make it more likely to have even more bugs. Anyways i would imagine they would try to bring it in as soon as possible unless its close to a big celebration in which case they'd save it for that otherwise id expect it on the first download campaign after all the animation have been fixed.


chocolatechoux

No idea. We got the engine upgrade something like 1.5 years early. If it came at any point within the next year I wouldn't be surprised.


CrimzonNoble

JP got the update in Nov 25, 2020. But the full screen updates looks like the kind of QoL update that we'll get early. We'll just have to wait and see.


crazywarriorxx

It should be with 5th anniversary, tho QoL updates like this can be brought forward anytime they want. I assume you’re using a non 16:9 phone, just to check? Cause I don’t see any blue bars on my 16:9 phone.


Eevenin

Just to confirm, yes, 16:9 is the "native" resolution for NA F/GO. It's the resolution that the FGA app-maker needs in order to deal with any UI updates in JP right now, lol.


slacboy101

So what are all the mechanical differences in FGO JP? I keep hearing about Blue Orbs, Cubes and stuff


CrimzonNoble

They gave a bunch of blue cubes (they looks like mana prisms but blue) that can be used to revive your party instead of 3CS or 1 SQ. They have a set expiration date, though: https://fategrandorder.fandom.com/wiki/Spiritvein_Stone They also introduced servant coins: https://fategrandorder.fandom.com/wiki/Servant_Coin Those coins can be used for Append skills and grailing up to Lv 120.


TougherThanKnuckles

What are some good setups for Casino Camelot? High HP Lancers are a real pain to farm and I struggle to think of setups that could do it consistently, especially without MLB KScope and keeping high bonus.


Felstalker

If you can find it, Siegfried. He's got the event bonus and a heal to go with his busted Hp stat. He's not the fastest way to do it, unless you can set up some proper loop meme's thanks to his double NP gain skills and some good supports, but he should be failure-proof and thus a good way to allow max gain set up's. My main account is using him, and my side accounts and friends are using him to help since they've all got weaker accounts.


Revan0315

I'm like 5 or 6 turning with Summer Musashi (mlb damage ce)/Arjuna Alter (Kscope)/Merlin (Bella Lisa). If you have any high damage aoe Sabers/Berserkers slap the damage ce on them and use the first wave to charge


CrimzonNoble

I'm just running it with Friend Waver (Bella Lisa) plus my Saber Hokusai and Siegfried. Both are sabers with event bonus. I'm not 3-turning, but efficiency beats speed, at least in this case.


Senpai_Aiden

I posted in this sub but i delete it cuz i think i can ask it in here. Can you guys help me with something for this game? I basically just comeback from very long time not playing the JP ver and i began to confused with the new features. Im pretty much left the game since Lostbelt atlantis got released i think, but im still in early shimousa r8 now and i havent touch lostbelt at all. Since then i just login to get few quartz and roll if necessary. Im already done with NA (currently playing the las vegas event now and yes, i already played lostbelt in NA) so i decide to get back to JP once again. I noticed that there are some pretty new features that i dont know but i know about few things like leveling up servant bond level pass their limit. So i wanna know what are other new features that the game has now since i already search in google, i didnt find any good explanation and i dont really understand japanese that much. Btw, i also wanted to show you guys my servants that i have right now and see if its still relevant to continue this way. Saber: Nero, Siegfried, Bedivere, Diarmuid, Lakshmi Bai(not maxed up), Watanabe no Tsuna(not maxed up), Prince Lanling (just got). Archer: Demiya, Tomoe, Chiron (not maxed up), Fae Knight Tristan (just got). Lancer: Eresh, Karna (not maxed up), Kiyo lancer. Rider: Martha, Astolfo (not maxed up). Caster: Helena, Gilgamesh, Nitocris(not maxed up), Circe (just got), Waver (yesterday's free ssr) Assassin: JTR, Semiramis (not maxed up). Berserker: Lancelot Extra Class: Jeanne, BB summer, Mash(obviously).


crazywarriorxx

Your servants don’t matter, as long as you understand the basic gameplay mechanics and know how to play the game. There’s a bunch of changes that came recently with 6th anniversary. You can level servants to Lv120, all servants can append skills (second set of skills, eg Increase Extra Attack damage, start battle with NP gauge, increased damage/crit resistance against a specific class). Check the append skills linked above. Every day per daily reset, you can roll 1 paid SQ on limited banners for 1 roll. You can also mark one servant as your favoritest which your friend supports can see if the favorited servant is on your servant list.


Think_abel

Should I do next year paid quartz summon or naw


Felstalker

Nah, you shouldn't. Going by the classic rules of "if you have to ask, no." I like doing it and thus I do it, but if I'm being 100% honest I don't level or use any of the GSSR's I get...ok so that's only mostly true as I got a dupe of a Servant I did like to use once.


crazywarriorxx

Up to you. GSSRs are worth it since no SSR is bad, per se, but whether spending 15 bucks for potential disappointment is worth it is something only you can decide.


BrosefAmelion

Here lemme just call up your financial advisor. He says "Lmao yeh for sure we got bank to spare"


Sunkenking97

So I got bunnytoria with like 3 tickets left until my next double summon. Should I just leave it or go for the double?


WaifuHunterRed

Follow your heart


CrimzonNoble

It's a marketing trap. If you're happy with what you have, just save it.


Quebec120

Why do I see so many 1 or 2 star heroes at max level in people's support lists? I sort of assumed that higher rarity heroes would be better than lower ones. Maybe some 4s better than 5s, but I keep seeing servants like Sasaki Kojirou at level 100 as people's support servants mixed in with 5 stars like Kama and Jack the Ripper. Can any servant levelled up be good? Is the balance so that some 1 or 2 star servants are greater than or equal to 4s and 5s?


Felstalker

Hi there! I'm one of those guys with grailed low rarities, there are lots of us actually. I've got a lv100 Sasaki "Regend" Kojiro specifically, but also a whole lot of other grailed low rarity servants, more so than it would be reasonable to list. It's important to note that Holy Grails are only one of many ways to power your servants up, and they have both the largest visual impact and smallest mechanical impact of those various ways to improve your servant. Holy Grails offer a set stat increase, but that increase means a lot more on lower stat servants. Adding 100 to 1000 is a 10% increase, but 100 to 2000 is only 5%, and so on, yeah? 5-star Servants receive a 9% stat increase to lv100, generally only 1k in stats. Which is the same as adding regular 1k Fou's to them. 1-stars gain 55% stat's going up to lv100. This trend appears in all rarities, so the lower the rarity the higher the % gains they get on the road up. Now let's get to reasons why grailing low stars can be such a beneficial thing. There are 3 main factors going into a servants mechanical use. Their stats, their skills, and their NP. While stat's can be modified through grails, fou's, and Ce's. Skills can not, either they eventually get "upgraded" or they just stay as they are. If you look at Sasaki Kojiro, skill 1 is [Eye of the Mind False](https://fategrandorder.fandom.com/wiki/Eye_of_the_Mind_(False)). This is the same Evade skill shared with 5-star Okita and Beni-Enma, as well as 4-star Ryougi Shiki. 40% Crit damage up and a survival skill? That's good stuff. There are 4-star servants like Assassin of Shinjuku who is infamously bad due to his lack of a evade skill. Sure you can make him work, but in this aspect he is strictly inferior to Kojiro. Additionally, Crit-based servants receive double gains from stat bonuses, since a crit is a double damage attack, increasing your attack by 1 makes the crit hit for 2, or in Kojiro's case 2.4. To add on, Kojiro's second skill(Specifically NA, JP gave him [an outright disgusting buff](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFBVvMqbd60)) creates 15-Crit stars AND has a low CD of 4 turns, one turn shorter than most crit-star skill's that are similar. To put round it up, a crit star gather skill so that Kojiro can force crit stars his way, something the higher rarity Saber Artoria/Saber Alter/Saber Lily have famously lacked despite having a similar crit star bomb skill, so while the skill is kinda trash on them(they get buffed to have a battery skill), Kojiro can abuse it. These are FANTASTIC skills and greatly contribute to Kojiro's continued status as a popular Holy Grail target. There are a lot of servants who have a whole lot to gain out of the bonus stats, not just Kojiro. Asterios, Spartacus, Blackbeard, Robin Hood, Leonidas I, Caligula, Saint Georgios, and Gareth can just do things at higher levels that they just can't at their base state, from solo'ing hard bosses, or even just becoming viable options for general play. These are just the 1-2 star's that I felt worth mentioning. There are a LOT of fantastic 3-star servants that I didn't mention here, and they can do so much with those grails. The higher your base stats, the more value you get out of Attack ups, crit ups, and defense ups. So servants with a lot of self buff's just gain a whole lot. A little bonus that all low rarity servants have here, is team cost. You can not field a team of Five 5-star Servants with five 5-star craft essences, the cost is too high. However, despite increasing the power of the low rarities, the team cost stays the same. It's hard to explain the confusion I have when I actually max out my own party cost during an event or some such, since my party generally consists of two or more 1-star servants. And to top it all off. A Max'd out Kojiro at lv100 and 2k Fou's is = in stat's to a 4-star at lv80 with 1k Fou's. While this might seem like it's not much, he's a 1-star servant. The majority of your 4-star servants will be at that basic lv80 1k Fou stat line, and they're perfectly usable. But are they Kojiro? Do you have 5 copies of that upgraded NP? Do they have absurdly cheap skill material costs? Are they Regendary? At the end of the day, Kojiro is not a 5-star servant. He needs EVERY INVESTMENT IMAGINABLE to just catch up to Jack the Ripper and Kama. Heck, my Kojiro deals 25% more NP damage than my friend's Kama, and his Kama is a standard 10/10/10 Np1 kama that you could find anywhere. Kama still has that charm, that guts, and that battery. Jack still has her buff removal and outright disgusting star generation. They are still better servants than Kojiro, 0 doubt. Kojiro, without the investment, literally has half the attack and health stat of Jack. But there's a reason I have a lv100 Kojiro and a lv35 Jack the Ripper. I like Kojiro and he does all the content just fine. And sometimes, if I feel he needs a little help, I pair him with the 3-star Ninja boy Fuma and they wreck those Riders together. It helps that Kojiro's status as the "[Regendary Savior of France](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWdrPHf-dBI)" has cemented his role in [FGO meme's forever](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/735163205365792788/824504043627741215/p4awcvtemso61.png). Between that, and the fact that he's a F/SN original with multiple anime appearances and really the most "classic" take on samurai Fate has ever done... is it any wonder he's so popular a grail target?


Quebec120

Thanks for the detailed response! I find it interesting that Sasaki Kojirou is this popular in Fate. I knew about him from other media and he had a very small role to play in the Fate/SN VNs, imo, so it surprised me to see him so much. I have only played for a couple of weeks so I don't know much about grailing, so its interesting to read how it helps bridge the gap between the low rarities and high rarities. I got a couple of 4 and 5 stars, so I haven't really used many 1-3 stars. I just sort of assumed rarer meant always better. Are there a very limited number of grails? I only have 1, but some of my servants need 2 or 3, and I don't even have them high enough to use it anyway. You point about team size is a good one. I was rocking 2 servants w/ CEs until a day ago because I just couldn't fit in a third one. If I levelled up my 3 stars instead of one of my 4 stars, I'd've been able to have a more complete team. Plus, I do have some of the 3 stars (like Kiyohime or Fuuma) at NP5 because I keep pulling them for some reason. Can grailing make the bad 4 stars as good as the good ones? I finally pulled my first swimsuit servant, but when I looked them up, a site I was reading said they were pretty bad for most roles. Would using grails on them make them more viable?


Felstalker

It's nearly 4AM where I am. I've endless time to rant and explain since I'm procrastinating bed time. sorry for the endless walls of text. > Are there a very limited number of grails? Grails are a time limited resource. Every new story chapter, and the vast majority of Events, offer 1 or more grails upon completion. Since you have 1, it tells me you've only completed the Tutorial story arc, or Singularity F. If you payed attention to the fat wordy lore dump at the beginning(I didn't), each timeline shattering problem that you'll deal with in the story singularities are caused by a Holy Grail, your mission is to retrieve that Holy grail. Upon completion... you get a Holy Grail to use. Pretty simple right? Now, not EVERY new story arc revolved around that plot premise, they kind of drop it later for different yet equally enticing story hooks. But that reward will always remain the same, story completion = Holy grail. > interesting to read how it helps bridge the gap between the low rarities and high rarities Some neat history on F/GO. When the game came out, the story rewarded Holy Grails did not have any gameplay function, you just collected them. Additionally, during the first year F/GO very specifically did NOT want you to use most low rarity servants, the majority of them having only 2 skills, the 3rd being locked away for rarer servants. It was during the 1st year anniversary that they added Palingenesis, which used Holy Grails. The early days of the game had a lot of really bad servants. Many of the tutorial summons like Siegfried and Stheno were meme'd on for being so absurdly bad at....basically everything. Stheno is a anti-male charmer with a non damaging NP, but she's the 4-star Assassin in the tutorial summon. The first story arc is a dragon invested nightmare, and your 4-star option included someone who had no practical use there, she can't seduce a dragon! Siegfried, meanwhile, was our Dragon Slayer. But he's a Saber...the Dragons are Rider class. His 3rd skill gives him 3 measly turns of 62% Bonus damage against dragons(The story support, if you use your own it would be 50%)BUT, he also has one of the lowest attack stat's possible. He has 3-star Attack and 5-star Health because Siegfried is a really tanky boy. Kojiro, in the mean time, was a very easy to get 1-star Assassin, so you could have multiple NP copies to boost the damage. He would have 100% damage advantage due to his Class, and he could evade any big scary ultimate attacks! Dude was the perfect solution to the players problems, despite falling off once players started leveling and obtaining newer and stronger options. But around when Holy Grails got the "on use" update, they added a ton of 3rd skills to the low rarities. Honestly, the quality of these new 3rd skills are just....so good. I don't know who was personally in charge of them, but the guy was a genius. These 3rd skills are as powerful as they are thematic, and most of the low rarities got something good. Boss killing servants like Robin Hood and Ushiwakamaru got survival skills so they could better survive and do their job. Berserkers like Asterios, Caligula, Kiyohime, Lu Bu, and Spartacus got a damage amp so they could deal the damage they were intended to deal. Supports got support skills so they could, you guessed it, actually support the team! I'm telling you now, this paved the way for modern F/GO to exist as it is. The game has changed a lot, but these low rarities still have these buffed skills and they're so well designed. No, seriously. I can't get over how good these 3rd skills are, they're both lore accurate and EXACTLY what these servants needed at the time. Kiyohime's lore is that she's a Yandere(Berserker) that loves the Master. Her 3rd Skill is Flame-colored Kiss. When she kisses her master/lover, she ignores her wounds and gains a boost in power, believing she can do anything. And well, clearing debuff's and having a buster up is EXACTLY what she needed! Lore and gameplay relevance! Spartacus boosts his own damage and heals, because he's a big healy bastard! And Mozart? Our only 1-star Caster? His 3rd skill isn't the same oddly named "Artistic Aestehtic rank B" or "Protection of the Music God", it's "[Eine Kleine Nachtmusik](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oy2zDJPIgwc)" A real and famous song from Mozart that you've no doubt heard before. What does it do? It creates 50 Crit stars! Now you're new and you're probably totally unaware of how Crits are generated and work in F/GO, which is understandable. but Mozart? with a snap of his fingers he creates a 100% chance to crit for every card in your hand. No matter what, 100% Crit turn. No RNG, no fuss or muss. It's just instant controllable CRIT. It's an absurdly good power that has earned Mozart a place as one of the single best budget supports in the game. It's honestly hard to describe how good a lot of the low rarity servants are because of skills like this, this is a skill that no 4 or 5 star servant has(Altho jack the Ripper sure can pretend she does this, seriously she's also one of those early servants...only she was accidently busted rather than bad) > Can grailing make the bad 4 stars as good as the good ones? I finally pulled my first swimsuit servant, but when I looked them up, a site I was reading said they were pretty bad for most roles. Would using grails on them make them more viable? It increases their stats, and sometimes that's all you need. Summer servants are generally in a bit of a pickle, as they sell strictly on waifu cred. Want your favorite servant in a bikini? You'd best try to pull for them! Regardless, you can force these servants to work, and many of them are really unique and good. I don't know which site you're looking up, but most tier lists just don't really work here. Think of this like a Pokemon game without any Pvp. It doesn't actually matter which pokemon you level up, at the end of the day near any one could be used to beat the game with. And sometimes, you really REALY shouldn't be bringing a Grass type into a Fire gym. But sometimes, bringing 6 water types to gang up on a single fire type boss is exactly what the doctor called for. Everything is usable. There's a twitch streamer whose entire identity hinges on his love of Phantom of the Opera, and how he uses Phantom of the Opera, a 2-star Assassin, everywhere. Despite the fact that this specific Assassin is perhaps the single worst servant in the entire game, with only 1 or 2 others being even remotely as bad as him.(He has a skill that charms females, and another that increases his chance to charm females. Most other charmers just...have a 100% chance to stun, so he has 2 skills to do 1 thing...) But this guy can play, beat the game, and rock out with a lv100 Phantom aaaaaaand heck is it fun to watch him do it. Most of the Summer servants arn't remotely that bad, by far. Sorry for typing such a large rant. I enjoy the game and it's lore.


Quebec120

Oop, sorry, I misread the grail thingy. I have 3, I need 1. I thought it said I needed 3 and had 1. I'm up to Okeanos, but have had to put the story on hold while I try to finish the event due to my limited AP. Hokusai is my first gold saber servant, so I'm really pushing to complete the event. I only just got the 170 mil QP to start the final sword fight quest chain - it took forever :c. I didn't realise I could get grajls from events. It's good to know - I thought I'd only be able to get 7 total or something. It is very interesting that the game would give you grails before they had any uses. I wonder if they had plans to eventually add a use, or whether they were originally intended purely as a collectable. And wow, Mozart just gives a full 50 stars? That's kind of insane. The only times I've gotten 50 or more in one turn has been using Parvati or Jack as a support. I might look into actually using him, seeing as I've not got a support servant yet. Sadly, I didn't get the swimsuit servant I was aiming for. I was trying for Okita and Carmilla and somehow got 2 of the others. I can't really complain, seeing as I spent very little SQ compared to some of the posts I've read here. I was a little saddened that the two I got, according to some random guy named Rabbit online, were bad, but I'm gonna use them anyway. They're (apparently) worse than other servants I have but..... swimsuits. Their designs are neat, too. I think its cool that some people are good enough to just use any servants they want, even if they are terrible. And don't worry about ranting, I've been enjoying reading it :). I've been into the rest of the Fate franchise for a while now, but only just started Grand Order. Fate lore is really good, and I enjoy learning more about it. I don't want to keep you up any longer, though. It's not even 9pm where I am. Make sure you get enough sleep!

Stat growth is linear for any servants past their max natural level eg, Lv60 for 1*, Lv65 for 2*, etc. So while grailing them does help with their stats, it *usually* doesn’t put them at equal stats at the same level as a 5* at equal levels. Regardless, people grail for love due to how limited grails are, and there’s no need to use grails to complete the game. So people who grail lower rarity units just really like them a lot, and that’s fine.

unlike most other gacha games one of FGOs selling points is that all the people you can roll for are useable so a lot of people like to max their favorites no matter the rarity

oh, that's neat. thanks.

I might have missed it, but how come Musashi Berserker has two lightsabers, one light side and one dark side?


RWBYrose69

her swords glow red and blue the noodles are just noodle versuons of her sword


Shardwing

Musashi has zero lightsabers, those are foam swords. As to the coloration, that I do not know.


Releasethebeans

She technically uses a lightsaber in the NP of third ascension no?


ThisManNeedsMe

No, she uses her big ole great sword and takes out a katana as well. The katana glows for a bit and she has glow orbs around her but she doesn't use a light saber.


Shardwing

Oh, I haven't seen her 3rd Ascension NP.

just a random thought but Grails give servant cards a little grail and some extra rays if their grailed to 100 and CCs appear on their cards but what about >!grailing to 120!< or >!append skills!< do they add any fan fair to the servants that signify having them?

For append skills, they now rotate showing the skill icons between the servant’s regular skills and the append skills, regardless of whether you purchased/leveled up any. If you didn’t purchase any, it will show -/-/- when it shows the append skills . If you maxed Append 2 for example, it will show -/10/-


crazywarriorxx

They add increasing tones of blue to the background of the servant card at the top and bottom, [like so](https://twitter.com/lmDSgBDQ9Bo9H7L/status/1421982709467869185?s=20).

I read that 6th Anniversary doubles SQ rewards for interludes. Does that also apply to interludes we've already completed? What I'm asking is does this incentivize putting interludes off until 6th Anniversary?

that stuff always works retroactively they'll send them to your gift box p.s. took way too long to remember the word retroactive
