Re: Fate/Grand Order - Are you my Master?
kiyohime is pretty solid at it though her stats are a bit lower the buster nature of her NP helps make up for it. lancelot on the other hand is lacking any inherent ability to boost his np's damage. and for the stun, a lot of farming won't need her to act immediately.
Edit: besides would you really deny tamamo cat the calling that lets her hunt all the delicious beef?Last edited by NeoPhoenix0; 2018-06-06 at 03:02 PM.

Re: Fate/Grand Order - Are you my Master?
I think I have every Assassin...*checks*...yep, every Assassin except MHX and Shuten Doji, so I'm wonderfully spoiled for choice there.
But all of the above is correct. Carmilla was my first 4* servant (since I started again after not getting into it at launch, and thus missed out on Saber Lily back then) and she's pretty dang solid. Though she's outshined by Jack and Shiki now."And if you don't, the consequences will be dire!"

Re: Fate/Grand Order - Are you my Master?
I am rediculously spoiled on assassins. I only have 3 SR+ but they are Jack, who is Jack, shiki for my artspam, and shuten for arts stall/farming. Still never got the fox dream CE that I was looking for but I'll take shuten for just tickets.
Also been looking at the sabers I have and there aren't a ton of boss fight ready sabers are there.Extended signature (Includes Giantitp regulars as... links, avatar showcase, homebrew, and other stuff.)

Re: Fate/Grand Order - Are you my Master?
For boss fights without AoE, I find d'Eon to be pretty useful. They can taunt, and with Mash and the original mystic code, can be invincible for three whole turns. Rare are the fights where you have to worry about sure shot or remove invincibility, so you can generally eat a single-target NP without a scratch.

Re: Fate/Grand Order - Are you my Master?
oddly enough i find that nero does a ton of work if you have her NP to lv 2 or higher despite being AoE. Then again i have the perfect team mates and CEs to maximise her damage if i need. even though the game gives me other powerful servants occasionally it really does want me to be a dedicated arts user. I have pretty much every arts stall servant in the game minus Medea lily.

Re: Fate/Grand Order - Are you my Master?
Yeah, Jack is far and away the best assassin right now but by all accounts I've heard is if you NP5 Carmilla she'll outshine Shiki. Welfares don't have the best stats for their rarity sadly.
EDIT: Siegfried actually will put in some serious work in the next story chapter considering the main villain (Who I will not spoil) has the Dragon trait and is a lancer.
In other words, his ideal prey.Last edited by Callos_DeTerran; 2018-06-06 at 08:45 PM.

I went ahead and grabbed the free Martha, durable healing is not something I have much access to after all.

Re: Fate/Grand Order - Are you my Master?
I strongly considered getting Heracles, as he is said to be the absolute best berserker in the game. I really did, and I probably should have, but I already have two high-ranked berserkers in Beowulf (ora ora boy) and Nightingale (She will heal me even if she kills me). In the end, I decided to plug up a hole I had and choose a servant type I did not have a good one of. As far as assassins go, I only had Jekyll and Hassan of the hundred personas, so I decided to pick up Carmilla.

I went with Elizabeth Bathory. Because I didn't have her already and I like her. Don't judge me. >_>

Re: Fate/Grand Order - Are you my Master?
At this point, I'm on the fence between Siegfried and
Royd'Eon. On the one hand, as Callos mentions, Siegfried is good against Dragons and Servants with the Dragon trait. On the other, aside from that, he's pretty ineffectual, and for me, France is over and done with. And while d'Eon is also pretty ineffectual, d'Eon is a tank; you don't need power, you need effectiveness. And there's the added bonus of being immune to anything that targets Male or Female.
Then there's even the question of whether to even bother with another Saber. Fact is, Lily is terrible stat-wise; d'Eon or Siegfried would be a strict upgrade. But in terms of utility, Lily's NP does decent damage, especially when paired with her Mana Burst. It's worth noting that her NP is level 5, which gives it a base modifier of 700%; Siegfried's base modifier at NP1 is 300%. Even after Strengthening, and against Dragons, it's 550%. Moreover, Lily's Journey of the Flowers skill is useful to the entire party.
I feel like, she may not be great, but she's consistently applicable in her role, you know?My headache medicine has a little "Ex" inscribed on the pill. It's not a brand name; it's an indicator that it works inside an Anti-Magic Field.

Re: Fate/Grand Order - Are you my Master?
As d'Eon was my first 4 stars (on my first free roll too to boot), I'm biased towards them. They've accompanied me as my main servant, even more than Mash did, by tanking like a boss (as I said earlier, three turns of invincibility kicks ass). But that was when I started playing about two months ago, and I was doing the campaigns at a fairly low level. For a high level player with lots of high level servants, they may not be that useful of an addition to an existing team.
Objectively, if you have no need for a main tank, you should choose a more universally useful servant, I think.

Re: Fate/Grand Order - Are you my Master?
I mean, my usual strategy involves using Mash as main tank, frankly. Combining her on-command Invincibility with her Taunt got me through the worst of Ibaraki. And Mash has additional party buffs, and is free, to boot. Sure, having her and another tank to take the heat off of Heracles might be nice, but it would also dramatically reduce my damage output. Or increase my party cost.
When it comes to "universally useful," though, there's the rub. Because out of all of these freebies, the only ones I don't have are Sumanai and d'Eon, Marie, Tamamog, and Liz. Tamamog is the closest thing to "universal," because Berserker, but I have Heracles for that, and he can go offroad. I don't know that I'd classify any of them as "universally useful."
I suppose I could just grab one to fill out the roster. Or grab one for the Interlude SQ - Marie and Siegfried both get two Interludes that drop SQ, everyone else only gets one SQ from Interludes. Or I could check which ones get bonuses in upcoming events... Hmm...
EDIT: So I decided to do some research. Here are several upcoming events, and which Servants from this freebie batch get bonuses:- Onigashima: EMIYA
- Prisma Causeway: d'Eon, Elizabeth, Marie, Martha, Carmilla, Stheno, Tamamog
- Christmas Re-Run: Marie, Martha
- Christmas: EMIYA
So, not a lot of events that I could see for the rest of the year involving Servant-based bonuses. EMIYA is always a safe choice, as apparently are Marie and Martha.
I might end up going with Marie, then, just for the SQ and bonuses. Huh.Last edited by Red Fel; 2018-06-07 at 01:22 PM.

Re: Fate/Grand Order - Are you my Master?
For the first couple of campaigns, I actually used D'Eon and Mash together. I very much took a defensive playstyle, especially with Jeanne as my campaign support. It made for a very defensive team, thanks to d'Eon's evade (didn't have their taunt yet), Mash's invincibility and Jeanne's NP. It was actually really thrilling to fight the dragon or Jalter with that kind of team, as it was a race to get Jeanne's NP up before the enemy did.
I was not the best player ever, obviously.

Re: Fate/Grand Order - Are you my Master?
Chevalier d'Eon: I have a ton of Sabers (including Void Shiki), so he/she was out of the question.
Siegfried: He silver-to-gold card shift-spooked me during Guda Guda (as Emiya below), TWICE. So, well, I won't be needing him anyway. I have most sabers. But I like his design, so he won't become gold blocks.
Marie Antoniette/Martha: I already have Marie Antoniette, so I'd not pick her again norDON'T SAY THAT NAMEMartha.
Heracles: I proudly own a NP2 Heracles, so I'm not in need of the overcharge effect.
Stheno: Nope.
Emiya: He spooked me twice during the Okita banner last year, I won't be needing to buff his NP, and as much as I like him, Nobu does a better job as a damage dealer than him. Even so, I'll use him for most events where he's featured (most japanese-themed events do so).
Elizabeth Bathory: She was one of my first 4*s from gacha, but I have LAlter, so I have little use for her, at least up until her strengthening quest, where she becomes a fairly decent waifu-support.
Tamamo Cat: I don't like her. Uh... That's it.
I decided to go for Carmilla, as she'll get outstanding bonuses vs women, when her interlude hits. I do have MHX, but I already had most freebies. Also, have you seen her animations she'll get?! Those are awesome!
Edit: By the way, is anyone saving quartz for upcoming banners? I'm at 200+ waiting for that Ruler Martha~Last edited by Yael; 2018-06-07 at 02:45 PM.

Re: Fate/Grand Order - Are you my Master?
I'm saving for... Camelot banner, maybe? Or a banner with Astolfo, whenever that'll be Husbando~
Did anybody get anything fun with the bulk Friend Point buy? I got a Saber!... Gilles. Who has an NP that... I might never use, ever. Wow. But at least I finally had Lotuses to buy Crystals to ascend Feargus! Woooooo. So now I have to wait a week until I have AP to farm for XP. *sigh*
Also got a couple of Hassans so now have Cursed Arm Zabaniya at level 3, which is nice. And some CEs, so I'm closer to MLBing my Parted Sea. Love me some Evasion.
Honestly though, pretty happy right now. Got me an Emiya, probably won't be able to max out the ascension mats from event store unless I eat an orchardful of golden apples, but I'll get enough to keep me going for a while.

There's an Archer Artoria? Mind blown!Last edited by Rusty Spoon; 2018-06-07 at 07:46 PM.

Re: Fate/Grand Order - Are you my Master?
I want archer artoria, since my rare archer collection consists of Nobu, who is great and mighty, but i would like some variety. Also it is artoria... wait are we getting artoria this summer?
Edit: ah, someone seems to have change the layout for the database i use for this event to be laid out stupid. anyway i will unfortunatly be spending all my saint quartz failing to get beach tamamo and won't get a chance at archer artoria. at least i will get inverse beach Anne and Mary probably, and i certainly won't say no to beach Mo boy, and kiyo. honestly the only one in the other banner i really really want is archer Artoria and she is a 5 star and Tamamo no Mae takes precedent.Last edited by NeoPhoenix0; 2018-06-07 at 10:15 PM.

Re: Fate/Grand Order - Are you my Master?
Welcome to Fate/Grand Order.
A 'down' week when you can do free quests is usually whenever a new chapter comes out (they usually give us a week or so of no events when a new Singularity comes out) and events where you don't actually do anything, its just putting out Strengthening quests or some such. Otherwise they try to do back to back events to keep players...well...playing! Next year though, once we start getting re-run events, you can start to take things a bit easy though.Warriors & Wuxia: A community world-building project focused on low-magic wuxia/kung-fu action using ToB.
