Used Nursery Rhyme in my CQ run and she dominated. I sleep until Amazon dot com.
-
I got Arthur from NA GSSR. Ehhhhh JP on the other hand: 2019 was the Year of Quick Memes. I’m hype going in to the New Year.
-
Bored with NA and JP right now. I’m skipping the lotto event and have already done the CQ (BB < 3), so there’s only shop. LB5 is a lot easier compared to previous ones. Space Ishtar did basically all the work with some changes in select fights. Please rerun Kama for New Year’s.
-
Use her with Jeanne Ruler and Merlin. Laugh as the enemy is completely incapable of killing your team. It’s one of the most consistent stall teams you can run other than BB until Qin Shi Huang. lol Tamamo in anything remotely difficult next year.
-
I'll start grinding in earnest once the final node opens. I want to use all of my apples on lotto. I'm not going to talk about it.
-
I'm gonna take this event nice and chill. Almost done with my second box on AP regen. Once all the nodes open I'll grab the bare minimum from shop and use the remaining apples on lotto.

If your Waver buffs Quick cards, then I'll spam your support. Planning on Waver DSS with Space Ishtar for lotto farming--the usual. Just missing the two lotto CEs from shop. Because people are allergic to servants that need any level of investment beyond skills and ascension. They're not directly comparable due to having different roles. However, I would agree when you say Astolfo is overall better.
-
Yeah, that was me being very blunt. I just recently got access to one of the best farming teams in the game--Space Ishtar NP2, Waver and double Skadi. This team obsoletes the need for any other AOE NP5 Beatsticks when farming. For me, Nightingale would have to be good in a support role for me to use her. Really disappointed with how she turned out since I can't run a team where she is anything but suboptimal. Need to boost your damage? Chiron and Santa Altera are better. Need debuff clear or some other form of survival? Medea Lily, Asclepius, and even Martha are all better. And no I don't care that buff removal res is a bad effect. The emphasis on offensive buff removal is questionable. Really, make her debuff clear the standard or let her remove defensive buffs and she becomes significantly better. Looks like I was too harsh on Astolfo though. His neutral damage is really good and he can triloop with BG start too. The real question is how he compares to Kama.
-
Nah dude Oof, initial specs show Astolfo and Nightingale being pretty bad. They are poor loopers and no utility to show for it either. At least the Saber Astolfo meme is dead though?
-
NA is now the beta-testing server, it seems. JP got a QoL that prevents login streaks from breaking due to maintenance just recently. Let the salt flow.
-
Extremely disappointed that Nightingale is an archer. She'll need a very specific skillset or I won't have a use for her.
-
A blonde man with wings isn't a flying Eliwood. Can't wait for "late November" to just mean "November 30th". The most late November possible.
-
@redlight You only need 1 PG but you can shoot for 3 at most. You only get six slots on a team and one is taken by your damage-boosting CE. Wouldn’t be surprised if Astolfo was the SSR. Saber Astolfo was a servant datamined over two years ago and we’re finally starting to see more and more of them. Jane was the most recent one.
-
I just want JP to get the new Christmas event already. I need more lotto grinding. Just finished farming the NA event.
-
I just threw BB at this. Swapped in Medea with taunt CE to remove the Arts Resist after breaking the bar to save time.
-
I’m not aware of what happened but I hope you’re doing better as well @Caster
-
Login streak finally broken after 864 days. RIP
-
This has been my experience for the past year. Rolling for NP2 of an SR? Get NP1 anywhere between 300-700 quartz. Also have some SSR spooks too.
-
Santa Anastasia would be pretty cool. Also people are hating this new CQ in JP apparently. It's GilFest Sheba on steroids.
-
I just wish we'd stop getting mission events. Almost every event between both servers this year was mission-based.
-
Strange feeling when you finish an event in the first three days and spend the rest farming shop currency. Only have Wine left in the shop now at least.

In a game where Noble Phantasms are the favored source of damage, having a bad NP effect, damage, gain (or combination of the three) is damning. Nobu has a good deck for mindlessly carding down enemies. However it also gives NP gain issues and her steroids aren't good to make up for it. She is also a pre Interlude Buster AOE that always hits for neutral. Saber is a bad example for the comparison. For one, there are many, many SSRs I would consider bad before Artoria. Second, Artoria is actually an excellent farmer, with a post-Interlude NP, a 30% battery and even guaranteed refund for battery looping. She's not a CQ servant, but that's more because she is not as good of a neutral damage dealer as other options. In a Lancer CQ she would be my first pick after Void Shiki. Nobu, meanwhile, is both a bad farmer and a bad point servant. She can't crit without flooding the board, and she needs to swing against Divine for her damage to not be trash. I haven't even mentioned that I could have just used another Divine-slaying servant instead of her.
-
Or in present JP meta, if they hit her she dies anyway. Servants have been dying through massive defense buffs for over a year now. Bonus points if they are non crit hits. The servants that scale better with supports often don't have card buffs. Stacking Atk or NP is much better than stacking a card buff. See Dantes and Gilgamesh. She's not even good at looping because of her base gain anyway. You'll get more mileage out of changing her NP type to Buster and bruteforcing loops via batteries. Because one of them is the worst SSR in the game? NP charge goes a long way to making a servant good. Without it Ishtar's kit would be pretty bad. She's also not extremely niche like Nobu is, let alone being weak in that niche.
-
NEET just doesn't know what she wants to do. While her buff value is pretty good, she misses having NP charge making her worse than the Big Four supports. Her NP not being Arts also hurts NP consistency due to less Arts chaining. Especially if the DPS is not using an Arts NP. Most of the defense for her being good is based off of theorycrafting. She has done almost nothing of note in the two years since her release. Her one notable use was in GUDAGUDA 3 CQ as PG fodder and that's it.

I'm just glad the monotonous pattern of seasonal reruns is finally being broken with this new event. The complaints about no welfare are honestly being overblown. There is no obligation to give the players a free servant nor is there any guarantee that servant would be good. People just dislike the event because it's related to Saber Wars.
