Games Fate/Grand Order

GudaGuda is live. The story is short but hilarious. If I didn't want Nobu before I definitely do now.

Like the way the event is balanced too. In the Moongoddess event it was just farming the 10 AP. In the Halloween event it was pretty much just farming the 30 or 40 AP with bonus quests sprinkled in there. GudaGuda seems designed to make use of all of the levels to some degree.

Since the bonus quests are one day only. It incentivizes going for the Gudao point up craft essence from the shop first. So working the 10AP, then working the 20 AP, and then moving up to the 40AP. So you actually have to use all of them. Then doing the once a day missions for your points.

The point thing seemed daunting at first but then I looked it up and realized that those once a day quests are going to give us just an insane number of points as the event goes on. The final one giving 21,000 per drop(and enemies drop more than one). With the point up you could almost get all 5 Nobu's from that single mission alone. I don't know what the exact math is but you could almost certainly more than max out the points just from doing those single run bonus missions.

The most you can actually get from all extra/gold missions with 5 Guda-O CE's is 1.1 million, which leaves 400k it's pretty doable, but that's only if you get Okita and another Guda-o CE drop. Still you should get around 800k if you handle things in a smart way, and the rest can definitely be achieved through daily grinding. Definitely doable

And I agree that it has a nice balance. Kinda bummed that it lacks a special place like the Halloween castle, and the story is relatively short, but what we can get out of this event more than makes up for it. Both Okita and Nobu are really cool Servants

Actually rolled 3 times but only got the CEs, no Okita for me it seems. Now I'm going to focus on getting all those precious mats

Yeah, a special level set is nice but I feel like this works as a banner only thing. It has kind of a cheap offbeat tone to it even if the rewards are the best of any event so far. That's part of Okita and Nobu's charm.

I also enjoyed Gil complaining about his own summon rate.

My comment:
Welp... those are free tickets after all. The event helping CEs are good and all, but in the end they have no further use outside of the specific event, so I don't really care for them. Angel's Song is irrelevant as I have Heaven's Feel. I don't know what to think of Verdant Song of Destruction. Part of me is happy to finally have a Buster Card boosting CE, the other part is still salty for not getting Limited/Zero over.

Objective comment:
Well, anyone should be more than fine with such pulls. I got a 5* Servant, a good 4* Archer and Berserker Servant.

Subjective comment:
Jeanne is a dupe for me, my Gilgamesh is much better than Emiya and my Heracles is better than Lancelot. So, this is quite disappointing overall. No waifu, again. At least Lancelot is a Servant I like and I'm happy to have him in my team now. I'll try my luck with Moedred next time, maybe she will like to join my team unlike Nero, Salter and Okita.

Boy, that's a run to be conflicted about. On the one hand statistically that's a great run. On the other hand that's a lot of non-waifu's. And you already have Jeanne.

The silver lining I guess is that Emiya might be good as a backup archer even if you have Gil. Especially for late game Saber bosses. Or easy Saber farming. Similarly with Lancelot situationally 2 powerful Berserkers could be quite handy. That's how I'm justifying maxing out Kiyohime to myself, anyway. The problem is they are both dudes. That's harder to justify.

I mean, I'm just jealous just because you got both Ushi and Medea. Who RNG continues to deny me!

And I'm sure I'll be even more jealous when the time for the great Moedred pull comes and the game tries to drown me in fat ceasers. I will post my results when that happens so you can enjoy the comedy of it Because I won't be laughing.

Getting some good drops this event. Either the rates are higher or I'm getting lucky.

2 Chaos Talons

Yes, you might be right there. I haven't thought about that, probably because of my disappointment. Farming with Gil + Emiya or Heracles + Lancelot will save me a lot of time.

I mean, I'm just jealous just because you got both Ushi and Medea. Who RNG continues to deny me!

That's funny and unfortunate. Funny, because I had Ushi and Medea at NP Lv. 5 even before this event, unfortunate, because they avoid you for whatever reason.

And I'm sure I'll be even more jealous when the time for the great Moedred pull comes and the game tries to drown me in fat ceasers. I will post my results when that happens so you can enjoy the comedy of it Because I won't be laughing.

I don't know whether I will go all out during the Moedred pickup event or not. I'm sitting on 166 Quartz currently. I guess I will spend all my Quartz on Moedred if she gets a S rank rating from the Gamepress website. If not, I'll probably only do 3 multirolls. The next 5 pickup events after Moedred (going by the JPN schedule) are irrelevant for me. That's a lot of time to save Quartz and spend them on bride Nero.

Getting some good drops this event. Either the rates are higher or I'm getting lucky.

2 Chaos Talons

That sounds awesome! I'm still farming the 20 AP quests, so I can't give any information about lucky/unlucky drop rates.

A extra little wrinkle in that is going to be Nobu who may be better than Emiya, who I tend to like using a lot. You're going to be just insanely Archer rich after this event.

I managed to get her up to level 60 and she is just crazy strong. I was using her and a support lvl 80 Emiya she was doing more damage than he was. Mainly because of her crits and that every attack has so many hits. And, like Gil, she generates enough stars to feed herself. Combine her with a crit generator like Hassan or Jack and I have to imagine she is going to kick some major ass.

That's funny and unfortunate. Funny, because I had Ushi and Medea at NP Lv. 5 even before this event, unfortunate, because they avoid you for whatever reason.

It's not funny. And I hate you. My only solace is that boss at the end of the 40AP Saber farming mission is Fat Ceaser. So I can take my frustrations on out him. Over and over again.

That sounds awesome! I'm still farming the 20 AP quests, so I can't give any information about lucky/unlucky drop rates.

I had a lot of time to kill yesterday and this morning so I used up some goldy apples. So I'm a bit further along the farming path.

3/4 Gudao CEs from the store.(2/3rds of the way to the final one)
2/4 Golden Skulls
207k points.

 

[Nii]

Well you can count yourself rather lucky Jammin, at least with the Guda-O CE, the droprate for that one is really really low, like 1 or 2%. Didn't get a Reverse Scale either, but got 2 Chaos Talons myself How lucky that actually is besides the CE I can't say for sure, but it's certainly far from bad luck

Seems like people really farm the hell out of this, I know that Sky already got all 4 CEs yesterday, and now you're telling me you've farmed even more already Jammin, going by what you shared xD Will try to do some farming today, the earlier you have those CEs the better, especially for the gold quests.

Regarding Nobu, yeah she is a better Archer than Emiya for now. That's only going to change like 8 monts or so into the future, when Emiya gets some nice power-ups through Strenghtening quests, after that he supposedly is one of the best 4* Archer's in the game (additionally, his NP Lvl 2 already does as much damage as Nobu's NP Lvl 5, so that is something worth considering as well). Ofc for someone like syx they're not all that necessary, I mean he has Gilgamesh

Yeah, I'll probably aim to clean out everything this time. Since I didn't spend any goldy apples up until this point I have a ton of those things laying around(still have 25) and this seems like a good time to use some I'll probably burn through about 10 more.

The fact that we can farm these event items and points while getting a chance at chaos claws and dragon scales is huge because getting either of those normally is so damn difficult. And you can kind of pick whatever rare thing you want in a 40 AP and there will be a mission for it.

--- Double Post Merged, Nov 11, 2017, Original Post Date: Nov 10, 2017 ---

So in the 6 times I did the Saber 40 AP this evening. I managed to get two more Reverse Dragon Scales and another Gudao drop. Meaning I don't need to pick up the final store one.

Since I was on such a hotstreak I figured why not do one premuim roll since I am well above my 50 ticket and 300 SC goal for Moedred.

Spoiler: The result was...

All male servants...

Though now I can join Syx in being Archer rich and if I had to pick a favorite male servant it would be Emiya. And that's a solid buster CE. So pretty good.

--- Double Post Merged, Nov 15, 2017 ---

So how is everyone feeling about GudaGuda a week in? Are you progressing well?

 

[syx]

So how is everyone feeling about GudaGuda a week in? Are you progressing well?

It's not going good so far for me. I still need over 3.000 Hira-gumos to buy the rare materials (Heart of the Foreign God, Claw of Chaos, Eternal Gear, Homunculus Baby, Meteor Horseshoe). I just got my hands on the last Golden Skull. Not even gonna talk about the less rare materials which require the Yohen-tenmoku-chawns. xD

I already used a good amount of apples and don't see any progression at all unlike with the other events. I wanted to use all my apples this weekend, but I will refrain from doing so. It's painful to miss all the rare materials, but I came to conclusion that the trading system of this event is shit. It's been 7 days and I haven't even touched a single material. Moreover, I didn't get a single Poster Girl CE from my pulls and I can only farm the 40 AP Saber quest with Gilgamesh as a non-event Servant. The other - better - quests are not doable for me with my low level event Servants and even if I use a reliable non-event Servant team, it would take tons of rounds to clear the better quests. This event isn't in my favor. The 1.500.000 Honnoji points I will achieve though by the looks of it.

 

[Jammin]

I'm actually in a fairly similar position. My team is just not strong enough to clear anything but the 40 AP Saber reliably without burning command spells or taking far too long. And that's really because I managed to get my Nobu fully ascended and leveled to 70. Anything above that and I need at least one command spell to get it done.

So clearing the store probably isn't going happen. Even with the number of golden apples I'm using and a week to go in the event. There is just too much stuff and not enough drops on the missions i can do.

Though on the upside I'm still getting a crazy high drop rate on rares for some reason. I don't know about you but I've picked up 10ish reverse dragon scales and a second drop of GudaGuda CE from the Saber quest. With a current point total of about 800k. From the store I've got all the Hearts and about half the Chaos Talons. Because those are absolute must haves for me. I'm hoping to get the gears, pages, crystals, and horseshoes too but that may not be possible.

--- Double Post Merged, Nov 17, 2017, Original Post Date: Nov 16, 2017 ---

And FYI I just tried the relatively new Lancer 40 AP. That one's actually not to bad. For me it was the second easiest behind the Saber one.

I have no Sabers leveled at all. So I went in with my lvl 60 Lancer Cu and my lvl 80 Caster Liz along with a support lvl 80 Attila that had poster girl. It's definitely a lot easier to face Benkei as a boss than it is Frances Drake like in the Rider 40 AP. He doesn't do much damage. The only annoying thing is his NP leaves everybody stunned for a turn. But he can't shred low HP servants the way some of these bosses can and he doesn't have any pain in the ass abilities either.

It would probably be even easier for you since you've got Jeanne with her powerful defensive abilities. So, assuming you've got Lancer Cu and a friend with a strong saber you should be able to do that one easily.

 

[MotifSky]

NA version player here. FGO is actually the second mobile game I'm playing. It's awesome!

 

[Jammin]

Welcome Motif!

How are you enjoying the GudaGuda event?

--- Double Post Merged, Nov 19, 2017, Original Post Date: Nov 17, 2017 ---

And it looks like the English version of FGO is getting an event Japan never got.

It's going to be essentially the Scathatch mini event modified to include a bunch of other stuff and renamed the Thanksgiving event which is going to run from the 22nd to the 1st of next month. The biggest thing is probably a one time guaranteed 5 star banner for paid Quartz only featuring Artoria, Okita, Tamamo, Altera, Orion, Vlad III, Drake, Waver, and Jeanne. Like they one we were expecting for New Years. That's a little tempting.

It's kinda bullshit if you ask me... the earlier 5* guaranteed gacha lacks Moedred and Jack, compared to the JP version that came after new years. That honestly reduces it's value, which is pretty annoying. I already got Artoria, Orion, Tamamo and Jeanne, so it's almost 50/50 if I'm going to get a new Servant out of this. Not to mention none of those really interest me, besides Waver. And yet I guess I may just spend some paid gacha to get one of them, but I'm not quite sure atm

That thanksgiving campaign is bullshit too, a bit later the JP version had a Gacha with Scathach, Gil and Kintoki + Karna and Arjuna, I'm honestly not sure if that's coming after this changed gacha with Scat/Gil/Kintoki. And I don't see a second 5*guaranteed gacha coming on new years either, so we effectively get a gacha with less value. Pretty bummed out with all of this.

Well, just because we're getting a 5 Star gatcha now doesn't mean we won't get a new years one. Personally, I think we're going to get both. That just makes sense from a moneymaking standpoint. I'm totally free to play so far but I may pick up some paid Quartz for this. I've been kinda wanting to throw some money this games way anyhow. I feel like it's definitely earned it.

I actually think the overall event is smart. Because they obviously don't have thanksgiving over there. So they are essentially repurposing Scatach to be that with a few additions. Like a some tickets and free quartz.

Though I do agree that the 5 Star gatcha is less appealing without the London additions. Jack and Moedred are #1 and #2 for me. But there are some in here I certainly wouldn't mind getting as well. Artoria, Jeanne, Okita, and Drake. If I got Waver, Orion, or Vlad though I'd be super pissed off. Those are 3 units I don't like using.

Well they're moving the paid gacha up, you can almost count on there not being the same gacha again with just two additional units in less than 2 months. No way they're going to repeat it, the japanese gacha didn't have two, so we won't get a second one in such a short time span either. Sure many people would likely buy quartz again, but it's a very rare thing in the jap version too, I really don't see it happening. Color me surprised if it does happen, but I would say chances are very low.

And sure, the overall event is just fine if you, making it a special thanksgiving thing. It just bugs me that there's no chance to get Moedred or Jack, which just feels bad bc we're not getting the same treatment as the japs. Ofc if it does happen again shortly after New Years then all is fine, but I really don't think it's happening.

And well, you have none, so for you it's definitely worth it. For me there simply aren't that many appealing 5*, and if I get a copy of someone I already have it's going to feel like wasted money... then again better than getting nothing out of a 10-roll oh well, let's see how things turn out, this event can probably be judged better in hindsight.

 

[Jammin]

Yeah, we'll see how this whole thing shakes out but I suspect this is a thing that this isn't drawn from anywhere on the JP timeline. I still think everything in the JP timeline including the annual New Years 5 Star gatcha is still coming. I'd be with you in being disappointed if that wasn't the case but I really think it is. It makes so much business sense to do that.

It's not like a onetime guaranteed gatcha ruins the balance of the game or anything either. It would not surprise me a bit if they want to do these twice a year because of how much money they make from it.

 

[Nii]

Yeah, we will see. Wish I could be as opimistic as you, but gotta have some faith I guess

Anyway, the GudaGuda event is shaping up to be quite difficult in terms of getting all the mats. The points won't be a problem, I probably will reach the 1.5 million tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest. Still lacking a damn lot of mats though, buying all those CEs really hurt. Didn't help that one Guda-O CE dropped like on Friday or so, by then I already bought all four. Oh well, better late than never I guess, a fifth copy does help for the 1AP quest and is going to help for the eventual rerun. For now I think I will do some more heavy farming on Tuesday before the event ends, and see how many mats I can gather. Getting everything is going to be kind of impossible though xD

At least the drop rate has been rather nice to me Not as amazing as Jammin's I guess, but I got 4 or 5 claws, 3 scales and, most importantly, 2 heart drops today

 

[Jammin]

The drop rates I've been getting are straight up insane. I don't know what's going on but I'm not complaining.

I farmed the Saber 40. The Lancer 40, and now I'm doing the Caster 40. Which is oddly pretty easy. I suggest everyone try that caster one if you have a friend with Drake. I've been using her, Halloween Liz, and Cu and that mission isn't hard at all despite saying lvl 75. Easier than the Berserker one IMO

I've now gotten..

3 Guduo CE's
6-7 Reverse Dragon Scales
4 Chaos Claws
4 Hearts
2 Serpent Jewels

 

[Nii]

Well your CE droprate is pretty amazing, that's for sure Everything else does look somewhat close to my droprate, so either we're both lucky or this is actually somewhat close to the norm. Not like it matters, in terms of droprate I really can't complain about this event.

Also forgot that the event actually goes until Friday night, so there's more time to farm. Pretty happy about that, a few more days are going to help quite a bit
