Games Fate/Grand Order

[Jammin]

I did level my Carmila, but her skills are 1/1/1. Is yours maxed?

Not yet. Though with her you really only need the first skill maxed. Because that's her NP drain + NP gain skill. Her second skill is just a defense down. Her third is kind of useful for it's star generating but not absolutely necessary.

 

[Kato756]

Oh hey guess I have 3 quartz with the week missions

Lets do a roll

Sleepy (its 2 am here), clicks the button to summon

Oh shit this is not ishtar banner cmon

*golden sparks*

oh

*golden ruler card*

Oh (please dont be jeanne)

*Amakusa shirou*

OH

Hell yeah finally a new unit.
I really like his design, and now I guess I am on a mission to get the entire apocrypha cast. Also him + semiramis is best ship in that show.

Sure from what I read hes not the best unit, but he has a niche in Challenge Quests and I like that. I have enough big sticks (Raikou, Ozy, Mordred) as it is, having more specialitzion is good

 

[Jammin]

Nice. A ruler is never a bad thing. Plus stuns are always super handy to have around.

I got up to box 13 while watching football and seething as my beloved Steelers get jobbed by the refs. Still no CE drops, sadly.

 

[mr.potato here]

I'm on box #24. Can't get enough time grinding. Still managed to use up like 30 apples or more. I gave up on ishtar after shit rolls. Only gold servant i got is anne and mary. I'll probably go to 35 of max 40 lottery. I also got around 9 ce (5 ce drop) with one mlb. Now i start to realize where my luck is going. My fav quest is gil quest cos it takes me 5-6 turn with scathach brave chain. Sock collection quest is kinda boring but gives me around 20 more socks so worth it.

Damn Potato, I thought I was making great progress at box #22. Going to have to up my game tomorrow.

Still no CE drops for me though. I feel like this might be the price I pay for getting Ishtar. Which I'm fine with if it must be so. But I fully intend to go hard at this. I want a limit broken drunken Jalter CE and a skill maxed Ishtar and am going to go all out to make that happen.

 

[Kato756]

On 20th box
Kinda bored, but 10/10/10 iskandar was worth it
Lv 90 Amakusa
All the materials to turn 7/10/9 raikou into max (danm u QP) and ascend all of my servants that need Octuplet (the ones that have interludes/rank up quests)
3 CE drop
And max bond arash and very close raikou
This was very productive

Btw guys which servants do you guys have that are 10/10/10?
Mine are Cu,Tama,Mash, and Iskandar
Soon Raikou, and, if the days align, Ozy

 

[Jammin]

32 boxes cleared.

CE drops... 1

Ran out of podcasts and anime to watch from my backlog at about 26. Got so bored I actually tried to watch the new SAO show yet again. Beautiful animation but somehow I was more bored watching that and grinding than I was just grinding. Now though I've reached grinding nirvana and become a grinding sage. Boredom doesn't effect me anymore. I'm immune now.

It also helped when I realized I was basically just killing Fat Ceaser over and over again. Made it more fun. Suck it Ceaser!

Anyway, I've skill maxed 7.

• Mash
• Raikou
• Tamamo
  
• Jalter
  
• Martha Ruler
• Titoria Alter
  
• Ishtar.

I also have Mordred at 10/8/10 because her second skill is Instinct and largely unnecessary for her.

 

[Kato756]

Glad that everbody dropped the CE

 

[SirSamuel016]

I was too lazy to farm too much when the event started but I'm regretting that now haha. Been farming with distractions all day, and by my calculations I still need to get around 35 boxes for me to get enough Mana Prisms to land the remaining copies I need for the Chaldea Lunchtime CE. Counting around 6-8 hours of sleep and then 3 or so hours of stuff tomorrow morning I only have about 5 hours of farming to get the last 12 or so boxes I need to get done. Think this is a bit of an F haha...

Yikes, that's a tight window. Though doable if whatever your playing the game on loads the waves fast enough and have a streamlined enough farming team.

I tended to clear the sock farming mission in 5-7 turns with a team of Raikou, Arash, and an AOE assassin from support in the first row (Shuten or Scatach perform best). Then Carmilla, Shiki, and Mash.

The strategy I went with was having Arash Stella the first wave on turn 1. Then Carmilla comes in. Let them all take damage from the dragon to charge NP. Then use the Stun from the battle suit. Giving you 3 turns to kill the dragon and charge all the NPs. If all goes well you go into the next wave use all 3 NPs and then it's clear.

And so the annual great grinding marathon ends. How did everybody do?

Final count for me was 39 boxes.

26 boxes. I could´ve gone for more but I was
A)too tired
B)had all the materials I need for now
C)In peace with the fact that QP Hell is a reality, not a state
D)Wanted to save some apples to rush Babylonia (i just love reading the story as I play it)
E)Wanted to save some apples for trying to farm the end raid of the year, which will have my much needed PAGES with a good drop rate

How you guys enjoying Babylonia so far?

Spoiler: My opinions up to part Section 5

-Evil Roman at the end actually scared me up, as I was playing in the bed
-Wise King Gilgamesh is so..wholesome. I love these types of character development we can only get trough years of being with a character. Much like how Vegeta in DBS, we get to see a arrogant prick become a respected ruler/father
-I thought Ana was lolibait, but, danm, she is such a adorable daughter
-I also thought: Ugh, these low star servants in my final singularity? But danm are they enjoyable (Ushi and Benkei). Leonidas has and will always bea badass
-I like the dificult here. Its not SOLVE GIMMICK OR DIE from camelot, but also not a random cakewalk either. If you juts randomlly press the cards, you will die

--- Double Post Merged, Dec 6, 2018 ---

Just so you guys don´t have to change your parties everytime, I strongly recomend that you have a

1) Saber Party
2) Assasin Party
3) Caster Party

Spoiler: Its a bird, its a plane,

Its civilization!
Yeah I died from that one

 

[Jammin]

I just got past chapter 5. Really liking it so far. We'll see if it lives up to the greatness that was the finale of Camelot but so far I'm quite pleased.

Spoiler: More specific thoughts up to Chapter 5

- I like the foundation of the story. A clear objective with tons of fun and interesting characters.
- Jaguar Warrior is awesome. (Tiger has arrived!)
- Ishtar is hilarious.
- Merlin is scum. (In a good way)

I agree on that clear objective. Its the one thing I felt camelot lacked a bit. Here every fight put us closer to our goal, while some in camelot were just filler to strecht things out.

Also

Me before playing this: I dont get what all the fuss about ereshkigal is, its just a blond rin

*plays trough her part in Babylonia*

Me: TAKE MY FUCKING MONEY

This singularity is waifu packed for sure.

Also, I had heard of how OP Merlin is but there was one boss fight where I went in with Jalter, Tamamo, and him and...damn. It was ludicrous. It was one of those bosses where the regular attack hits all characters a bunch of times. So it set off this chain reaction where all three of them were doing there NP's every single turn. Which meant everybodies' skills where stacking on top themselves.

Still not going to roll for him but..holy crap.

The good thing is that he will be like waver.

Can we agree that Eresh is top 5 waifus of FGO?

Unsure about the placement of Quetz, I dont like that One-san vibe

Not sure. Top 10 for sure but Top 5 is difficult. Lets see...

1. Mordred
2. Jalter
3. Ishtar
4. Tamamo
5. Raikou

Who would we have to bump? Before you answer I veto bumping Mordred. Don't even suggest it. I mean Eresh is awesome and 100% a high grade waifu. I'd say right now for me she rounds out the top 10 with Scathach, Nero, Kiyohime, Sanzang.

Also Taiga is great. Best 3 star addition since Hassan of Serenity.

And so the annual great grinding marathon ends. How did everybody do?

Final count for me was 39 boxes.

Got 31 boxes out of the 33 I needed to get done, so I ended burning around 300K friend points to make up the mana prisms to complete the Chaldea Lunchtime CE's I needed. Sadly I rolled Angra Manju so I hope that hasn't scuffed my luck for Scathach next year haha.

Currently around section 17-18 of Babylonia and I have to say I've been loving it. Great cast, and a good ride so far. I'd of completed it now if it wasn't for Smash Ultimate launching xD

 

[Jammin]

@Kato756
I recant what I said. Having made it past section 14 Eresh is Top 5 for sure.

New ranking..

1. Mordred
2. Jalter
3. Ishtar
4. Eresh
5. Tamamo

Still pretty impressive grinding. Well done.

Got to hand it to this singularity it's the most waifu packed one yet and I feel like it's written more to get the player character involved. Camelot was more Mash's story. This is the Chaldea Master's harem adventures in history.

I truly regret that we can't get a Blackbeard appearance in this arc though.

Finished the story
Dunno how well this lends itself to the anime. Hope they don´t take those Uruk day to day missions and make it one entire, or, hell, even 2 episodes. Just a small music montage is ok

 

[Jammin]

I just finished it as well. I feel like it's the most easily adaptable to anime of all the singularities so I'm pretty optimistic about the anime's chances. A nice mix of humor and serious moments and packed with likable characters. And most importantly it has the crucial aspect of anime good anime...waifu's galore. Eresh and Ishtar are both pretty strong"best girl" candidates. Coatl too was pretty great with her oneesan vibes. Gorgon was solid too in her own way. And Taiga was hilarious.

Also appreciated that it was challenging without being quite as sadistic as Camelot was. It was a nice balance.

Overall, I'd say this was my new favorite Singularity. You can really tell that they were getting used to writing an effective story in this format around Camelot and to me Babylon felt like a refinement of that. I'm not sure the high points were quite as high as Camelots but it was a lot more solid and well paced.

Also finally got my first bond 10. Raikou is going to destroy Solomon.
