Games Fate/Grand Order

[Jammin]

I'm of the opinion that the best Berserker is now and forever Minamoto no Raikou. (Though Ibaraki owns the title of the cutest)




Herc's big claim to fame is that he's got more survivability than most and one of the only good bond CEs. Cu Alt shares that defensive niche. But I feel like if you have a Berserker out there and your tanking with it your already screwed. I want my Berserkers to do damage. As much damage as possible to as many things as possible. She NP's whole waves to dust. Then take the crit stars she produces and annihilate whatever unfortunate soul is left standing.

Though there are so many great berserkers I feel like she gets buried in the conversation of just incredibly good servants. The same thing happens a bit with the Saber and Lancer classes where almost everything is strong. I played all the singularities up until London with almost nothing but Liz Lancer, Mash, and Kiyohime. So you really can use pretty much whatever for a while.

The only real crucial bit of advice I've got for new players are as follows

- Level Mash's Skills ASAP.
Our beloved shielder may not have much in the way of damage but her skills will protect the people who can do that damage extremely effectively.

- Be on the lookout for the following low rarity servants in the friend point gatcha. Almost all of these will be useful to you at some point due to how the cost point system works. And some because they are just really good at specific things that they do.

Lancers: Cu Chulainn (There is prototype version too, which is good but not quite as good.)
Archers: Arjuna, David, Robin Hood, Eurayle
Riders: Medusa, Ushiwakamru
Casters: Hans Christian Anderson, Shakespeare, Medea.
Berserker: Kiyohime (Lu Bu is actually better but like Herc he has not an ounce of cuteness in his entire body.)

Its almost time!
Gudaguda 3 Special site: https://fate-go.us/gudaguda_capital/

I'll do my best to skip this event's banner so I actually save for Skadi, but good luck to the people I know are rolling, namely @Belserion @syx @Nii and @Sky . Good luck to everyone else too though!

For those who aren't sure of if they should roll, here is the banner and I'll do my best to give my constructive 2 cents on the servants:

Okita Alter (Alterego): By far the biggest attraction on the banner and rightfully so, Okita Alter is a nice servant to have in your ranks. Her kit comprises of 2 Buster Cards, 1 Arts card and 2 quick cards with an AoE Buster Noble Phantasm, making her a handy servant to have for farming. She's also good to use in a crit team so definitely a handy servant to have if you can spare the quartz (I say this as there are more important servants in the pipeline very soon like Skadi).
Li Shuwen (Lancer): Don't sleep on Li! He's a handy arts Lancer to have, and can fit an Arts Crit team very nicely! Good arts lancers are also rare, so it's important to keep him around! He will need some help with star generating, so supports like Assassin Shiki, Tamamo Caster or even Mozart are nice team members to use with him.
Emiya (Archer): Emiya has his roles in the game but I don't rate him incredibly highly. Important to note his NP is great as it ignores defense so that's something that goes for him, but all in all he's solid and can serve the role of an archer servant well.
Okada Izo (Assassin): Okada is an interesting 3 star Assassin, and a limited time servant (this banner is the only time you can get him currently!) so he's a rare addition to your ranks. He's not that great a servant if compared to 4 star and 5 stars which can range from good to broken, but he's a nice addition to have and servicable.
Medusa (Rider): Easily accessible rider who if you're in the early stages of FGO can be serviceable until you obtain better riders in the future. She's a quick servant so if you do get her but don't have a better rider, you could pair her with Skadi who is in a month or two.

Conclusion: Should you roll? Yes! This is the only time we get this event and this banner, so it is the only time to get Okada Izo! Okita Alter will come around again in the future but this is one of a few chances to get her, the only chance to get Izo, and one of a few chances to get Li Shuwen. If you're in need of any of their roles, or just want them to fill up your pokedex then go for it! Be mindful that right after this will be the Summer 2 Rerun, and we all know who that brings about again...

I'll go into these more when the time comes but you definitely want some SQ for these banners!

Raikou has her uses but I definitely disagree with her being the best. For now she's the best AoE Berserker but I think that ST Berserkers like Kintoki are also vitally important in places, and have retain relevancy as things go on. Next year we'll get a special berserker servant (5 star) who you may be aware of, but it's suffice to say they make Raikou irrelevant as their AoE Noble Phantasm at NP1 hits harder than Raikou's at NP5.

Well that's not quite how Raikou works. Her NP is for farming and clearing waves sure but it's also to set up her first and third skills which do more damage than the NP does by far. You hit wave 2 with that and have it generate a ton of stars. After that she works more or less like Jalter. Absorb all the stars activate the damage buffs and she does massive single target damage and just keeps going because her damage and crit buffs all last for 3 turns. Even more when she gets her strengthening quest which is going to tack on a 60% crit damage buff to her crit absorb. At which point she is going to be just insane.

The things she can't do, like turn 1 nuking, in most circumstances your better off not using a berserker for that anyway. Since they only get half class advantage. So Berserkers can't usually out damage a single target Lancer against an Archer (such as Lancer Raikou).

That said I don't think any servant is irrelevant, but if I had to give one the crown I'd give it to her no hesitation.

 

[Belserion]

@SirSamuel016 thank you. Just got a 10 summon tickets reward and gonna farm my stray 60 SQ today to go with the 70 I already have. Since Okita didn't want to come home I think I'm triggered enough that I should be able to summon her alter.

Aye let that icky feeling be your catalyst for summoning her alter! Here's hoping you'll get her!

 

[Jammin]

@syx, @Nii, I think my luck is back.

I was like, syx likes her so much and he's got good taste so there must be something too this. And I'm in a pretty good place with my quartz savings so why not throw the tickets out there? Won't get her but might get that limited assassin and maybe some CEs that will make farming easier. That seemed to make sense to me. 17 of 22 tickets later I've got her.

Hope your rolling went as good as mine.

 

[Asako]

I almost want to roll for her right now, but I gotta resist, everything to maximize my chance of getting BB chan

 

[Belserion]

Aye let that icky feeling be your catalyst for summoning her alter! Here's hoping you'll get her!

I got an alter but it was Atalanta Will try again tomorrow.

 

[Asako]

Fuck, I can't access the event because it's only available after the final singularity
Damn it, I gotta get that free servant
How far is the final singularity ?

 

[Belserion]

Where are you now Asako?? You have about a week to catch up I think.

 

[Asako]

singularity 1
if i knew it was locked i could have rushed and ignore the ember dailies

 

[SirSamuel016]

I got an alter but it was Atalanta Will try again tomorrow.

Atalante Alter is still a good pickup, especially if you can net Skadi in the future! Hope you get your Okitan when you roll next!

 

[Jammin]

singularity 1

You wouldn't have made it anyway.

I honestly don't know how far it is. Probably over a hundred hours if you read the story. Solomon is singularity 9. If you skipped everything and REALLY rushed you'd probably get to singularity 7 and then hit the brick wall that is Camelot. Because at that point there is an unreasonably difficulty spike that makes it necessary to build servants specifically to overcome it.

--- Double Post Merged, Jun 3, 2020, Original Post Date: Jun 3, 2020 ---

Though on the plus side, all that unfinished story is going to net you a metric ton of Saint Quartz for your BB pulls. Couple hundred, i would think.

 

[Nii]

Well @Jammin I've used 300 Quartz and I got another copy of Tamamo and Mordred... with the latter being nice and all (please don't kill me) but not what I wanted. It feels pretty bad tbh, because I thought "This has to be her" and then it wasn't twice

Will prolly use what little bit of Quartz I have left and try again later today, but if not then oh well, gotta deal with it

It'll be a hard task to get there in a week, but there should be a re-run next year?
You've got Singularity F > Singularity 1 Orleans > Singularity 2 Septem > Singularity 3 Okeanos > Singularity 4 London > Singularity 5 America > Singularity 6 Camelot > Singularity 7 Babylonia > Solomon. Almost an impossible task to get there in this amount of time, but that doesn't mean you can't experience it if it pops up next year. Definitely start trying to go through the story though as for this year's Summer 3 event you need to have beaten Lostbelt iirc, so once you hit a nice level for your servants you can start to work through it.

If you want me to add you I can, I've got some neat servants that can help you breeze through things like my Berserker Kintoki and Saber Musashi to name a couple :P Just chuck us your friend code and I'll add you right away

That's the worst feeling, was there many a time with my years of hunting for Scathach. She'll come home sometime my dude, hang tough!

That is disappointing. Sorry man, spooks are very rarely welcome even as good ones as Tamamo and Moedred.

I would honestly say the silverlining to cling to there is the Tamamo spook though. She benifits a ton from NP levels. Even so, wish you got what you wanted.

 

[Asako]

How sad and depressing, so I won't make it either way even if I rush
Yea jammin, im one that read the story while going, don't like skipping considering I know I be lazy to reread them if I do skip them
But I considering skipping, tho it seems even if I do I won't make it from your wrong so I avoid it (doesn't help that I'm playing MG right now so cant really focuse on rushing FGO while playing)
How good is sakamoto ryoma either way ?
Hope I'm not missing out and sth powerful

Unfortunately for you Ryoma is a very good 4 star servant, welfare or not who is great arts support. You've got a year to wait for the re-run so you can pick him up then!

And adding you now!

He's fine but nothing you need to be too sad about. He's a supportive arts crit servant but he's not the best at it. There are some amazing event servants in this game but he's honestly not one of them, IMO.

And before you worry about it, the Summer event only requires clearing the first singularity, so you'll be able to get Jalter Berserker no problem. They just lock the harder events for some unknown reason.

 

[Rikudou King]

Well was rolling for the event CEs to farm easier, but fail to get the 5 star one after four 10-rolls.... Did manage to get get both Izo and Okita Alter, and a bunch of the 4 star one, so can't complain.
