Games Fate/Grand Order

[Kato756]

Yeah, I similarly am making Tamo skill leveling my next priority. I feel like I've undervalued how effective her 1 & 2 skills are. Curse isn't a very sexy skill but when you see one of the big enemy NP's coming you really appreciate that thing. And that defense up on a quick cooldown is also pretty nice.

Martha is a lot easier to skill level though so I'm prioritizing her first.

A neat thing I've noticed about her skills if you guys are ever using her. As you may know her self heal has an 1 time debuff immunity one each cast. Well that thing actually has no time limit and stacks. So if you use it consecutively you can build up multiple debuff immunities on top of one another. Which isn't a huge deal but a cool feature all the same.

I used her and I dunno, I am so accostumed to arts now that it felt a bit strange using a buster servant.

I mean ozy kinda is but I put him on arts to spam his NP fast.

I have to say that all of the summee servants, ann and mary are the worsr in terms of gameplay to me.

If I had to make a top gameplay

1) Archuria
2) Mordred
3) Tamamo (love how synergetic her charm is with her regular version curse, also it can charm anything)
4) Shishou is very niche
5) Martha
6) Marie
7) ann

 

[Jammin]

That makes sense. Arts teams are some of the most fun because of all the flashy NP usage.

I have a blast with Martha but her role isn't very flashy. She's a rock. You set her out there and hope the enemies foolishly attack her as she heals herself and laughs in their face. She's also quite useful when your plan goes wrong. Her neutral damage and 1.1x modifier makes it so, while she's not generally the unit you want to taking down enemies, she can usually get the job done.

I'd probably go

1. Squirtoria
2. Martha
3. Kiyohime
   
4. Tamamo
5. Scathach
6. Marie
   
7. Moerdred (this kills me)
8. Ann

Like you I just don't like the way Ann plays. That guts reliant playstyle where to do the best damage you need to get her HP low... I find it too stressful.

Moedred is just not my style. She just doesn't do enough damage for me. I get that she's an NP spammer but her NP is so weak. Especially when I'm used to her Saber version with a buster NP.

I actually like Marie but her problem is that there are so many casters are insanely good. So standing out in that class is tough. Her art is fantastic though and I get a huge kick out of the beach ball.

Scathach, I think is awesome but she's an assassin and that .9x multiplier is always unfortunate. She is there for punishing riders for their crime of existing. If only she had Carmilla's NP gain or had an evade attached to that taunt.

Tamamo and Kiyo are odd. Tamamo is strong as hell, and her NP animations are the best, but also somebody you have to think about skill usage with. Kiyo is the opposite with her "Turn your brain off and pick the red card" playstyle. You want NP? Arts+Buster+Buster. You want stars? Quick+Buster+Buster. That's why I find Kiyo more fun.

Squirtoria is just ridiculous. Thankfully we'll all have someone almost as good soon .

However, that also means we will all go to jail.

Jail is just a room.

Man it really feels like they dropped the ball with part 2

Part 1 cutscenes were great, p2 is just generic banter from the servants and random stuff from the piglets

 

[SirSamuel016]

That sucks. Getting spooked by male servants is the absolute worst.

I sort of figured the Austrailia server and the US server were different. If we can add each other my ID is 440,571,890. Username is, as you would expect, Jammin.

I need to sort out who I have on my friends list and who I don't. Lost track of that long ago. Kato is @Kato756 . So he's on there. rahul is @mr.potato here here right? Enryu is you @syx right?

So what are @niichan and @Belserion's usernames?

Added you haha, IGN is The Sir. My code is 554,745,265 if you guys want to add me @Kato756 @syx and anyone else here, just shout at me if you're adding so I know who is who :P

You can tell the whoever was writing it completely ran out of either time or ideas by the beginning of part 2.

To be fair though, they wrote the hell out of part 1. Doubling that would have been pretty crazy.

 

[Kato756]

So with this event comming to a close, what do you guys make of it?

I enjoyed it a lot, and the first part alone might stand itself as my favorite event, even more so than the F/Zero one.
I really enjoyed the sense of customization with the Island

However, by the second part I had a strong feeling of burnout (with the poor writing making it worse), and just barely managed to make it trough everything that I wanted: specific materials, the Mana prims, and the Lores.

Overall, I´d give the first part a 9/10, but if we take it as a whole, this event is a 7/10 for me, also because I got the servant I wanted + the top tier one. If not, this would´ve been a 6 XD

PS: In case I wanted to max all skills to level 10 of my summer servants, I will be missing around 10 shells. Tho, ofc, this was never my plan, it still leaves me a bit salty.

Rip 10/10/10 Kiyo

 

[Jammin]

I would give it like an 8. Now that I'm done with it and have cleared the shop.

The first half was hilarious. It was very playful and had fun with all the servants. It was just a good time all around. Any event having it's own map and it's own music is a huge plus as well. Giving us a free Scathach is a huge plus as well. As is the huge influx of great gatcha servants.

That being said it had some problems. Like you said, part 2 felt noticeably thin and seemed like pretty much just a resource grind, though the real issue for me was something else. Namely the 5 drop types for each part of it for 10 total. That's just too many resources. When you combine that with pretty much every servant getting a drop bonus, it turned team construction into a nightmare where your constantly glancing at the Wikia. As a result I felt like it was unnecessarily confusing. And it also overstayed it's welcome a bit with part 2.

Even having said all that though it's high on my list of favorite events because of how funny the story was.

will add you.

A thought that I saw on Reddit that I will bring here.

Will you guys roll for Merlin?
Since there are a lot of people that are going to have him...
Like
I´d like to have a waver? Yes
But do I really need one, since I have max lv 10/10/10 ones from the friendslist? No

The same train of thought applies to Merlin

--- Double Post Merged, Aug 16, 2018, Original Post Date: Aug 16, 2018 ---

Spoiler: Skill that a New Servant in JP has (I won´t say who it is)

50% NP, 3000 Heal, 20% Buster (3 turns), 50% NP Dmg (3 Turns), 1 time evade (3 turns. It works like Lancer Cu but only once). 7 Turn cooldown. Those are the stats of the skill at Level 10, WHAT THE FUCK is DW Smoking

 

[Jammin]

I won't be rolling for Merlin.

Which is not to say there aren't clear advantages to having him even if there is a 10/10/10 one in your supports. Because like Waiver to really break the game you need 2 of them because then you can buffstack like a maniac. The thing for me is that it doesn't match my playstyle. I like to only have one of each unit. I actively dislike using duplicates and I prefer to keep an all female team for the most part. So using multiple Merlins and Waivers does not appeal to me at all.

Much more interesting to me are other servants dropping around the same time too. Specifically, Ishtar and Gorgon. Also Musashi and Old Man Hassan. Those banners are all going to be clustered in a 2 month period. And as a result you really have to pick which of those suits you the most.

Which for me is Ishtar. Not only is she a Rin, my weakest position right now is Archer. So she's the obvious choice for me.

I agree
But I thought of this

2 merlins
1 lancer kiyo

Well if you really want to break the game. Consider Raikou + Merlin + Merlin

He comes with a Buster buff of 50%, Crit Damage buff of 100%, and Attack Buff of 20% (which is multiplicative with the buster buff.) And he generates crit stars his NP which could be combined with 2030(of which I have 3) to generate even more. Now take all that x2.

Now when you consider Raikou, with just her own buffs, already crits for about 50-70k per Buster card The result would likely be pretty close to a million damage. If not considerably more than that. And that's on single buster card. A whole brave chain would be absurd. And Berserkers are effective against every class so it would always work.

Still not the way I want to play though.

Also, one thing Merlin can never do is join my ultimate dream team.

Raikou, BB, and Gorgon. I call it "the oppai squad."

The thing I like about Merlin is that he makes everyone viable
However I really want another assasin other than Carmilla

I am feeling a bit burnt out but everything that I want in this event is on one currency only: Seeds, Chains, Xp and Fous

It's funny I was feeling that way before summer but now I'm ready to go. Bring on the grind!

You have Scathach right? Between her and Shiki it feels like we really got stacked at Assassin via free units. Old Man Hassan and Cleo will both be great though. The strange part about the assassin class right now is I actually think I prefer the 4 stars to the 5 stars at assassin.

Jack is great at star gen but her HP is low and, aside from her NP her damage, she doesn't hit very hard due to the assassin .9 multiplier and the quick card .9 multiplier.
Mysterious Heroine X is an anti-Saberface assassin. Which makes effective against Moedred Rider, Christmas Salter, and Summer Salter and that's it.
Shuten Doji is moderately good. With great debuffing solid damage but her NP gain is nowhere near Carmilla's.

I think Kotarou is highly underrated. He generates so much crit stars. I want to do a Raikou Koutarou LancerTama team

As expected, the Prisma Codes event is dropping Thursday. The loli invasion begins.


I'm assuming nobody here is rolling for Illya. On account of the summer event draining everybody's quartz supply and/or wallets. Still, it's awesome that we'll all be getting essentially Squritoria-lite. A powerful Arts based Archer with a 50% NP charge and an evade.

I won't be rolling but I'll be doing the event haha. I could use a gold archer who isn't Tristan, and on top of that I think(?) the event has medals and I need them as I need 200+ for skill enhancement, ascensions etc. haha. As for banners at this point I should really start saving for Scathach.
