In the Light Novel "Fate/Strange Fake" Alexander Dumas is a servant.

In Fate/GO, Dumas' arguably most famous character, Edmond Dantes, is a Servant.

So I think a Shakespeare character could easily become a Servant.

Oh really?  I'm not familiar with Strange Fake so I didn't know that.

I'd like to see that, because Shakespeare has a lot of good characters. There's a ton of possibility there.

I used some Summoning Tickets in hopes I would get some new Servants to play with. For 5 Tickets, I got some CE fodder, Darius, and Heracles! Getting Heracles on my last ticket was a pleasant surprise and made the experience worth it.

I'm not really interested in Okita and I plan on trying to save up my Quartz for Scathach. After her, I'm not quite sure who to save up for considering everyone is so spread apart. Maybe Brynhildr and Alter Jeanne?

Rate Up Calendar List - Reference

I'm a weirdo who's going to save up for someone that's already been released.  I'm not into min/maxing, so I'm just going to roll with whoever I get.  So far, so good!

Half-off interludes has netted me a good number of Saint Quartz, and quite a few laughs.  I have a new soft spot for Leonidas.

I have 40 SQ right now. I don't think I will scratch enough to pull more than 2x 10 (+5 Tickets from December) on the Scathach banner. On the other hand ...

We will probably get the same New Year 2016 pull like JP. I'm considering investing in that one since the pool is still small at that time and it would be an extra 10x Black Keys Summon for Scathach to whatever amount of F2P SQ there is.
Since only 'paid' SQ is eligible the least amount of €€€ would be 36,20€ (that's the 42+23 pack) it's going to be quite expensive and I could grab the wrong one. For me Zhuge Liang and Tamamo matter the most; the rest would be rather disappointing especially the Sabers, Orion, Drake or Jack. That's 2/11 against 7/11.

Hm, decisions, decisions.

I really wish they'd add something like that to FEH, the interludes in FGO are so great.

They're hit-or-miss IMO.  Some of them are really cool.  Others left me scratching my head.  Still others made me wonder why I kept that servant in the first place (MOZART I'M LOOKING AT YOU).

Same reason I did I imagine; to get the Quartz from his interlude :P:

You joke but I'm going to max out copies of the different colored keys. And eventually the Kirei essences. Out of bias.

Thanks, it feels sweeter after today treated my poorly emotionally. She'll be up to use eventually, I'm kinda dry on Saber pieces from Saber Alter and Nero.

Sorry not sorry.

I feel kinda bad reading the roll thread on reddit. Some guy spent more than 1000 Quartz and didn't get a single 5*, and I rolled her with the equivalent of $5 and a free sausage roll

Also, here's exactly 1000 words on Emiya
 

Spoiler

Without the completion of his multiple strengthening quests, Emiya suffers from the same problem that currently plagues Fionn mac Cumhaill; trying to do everything and, as a result, succeeding at nothing. Magecraft C- and his three Arts cards enables an exceedingly rapid NP gain and can open up the opportunity for NP same depending on his teammates, but the combination of an AoE Buster NP, a lack of any attack steroids beyond his Arts power up, and an inability to perform Buster Extra Chains resulted in his Noble Phantasm producing lacklustre damage. Furthermore, Clairvoyance is one of the worst skills in the game by itself, but putting it on a servant that only has a single Quick card means is so aggressively bad he might as well not have it at all. However, the numerous Strengthening Quests he has been given turned him from low-tier garbage into one of the best SR units in the game.

Despite what I outlined above, not everything was bad about Emiya. Leaving aside what was said above, his Eye of the Mind (True) combines a turn of evasion with a slight increase of defence, which serves to make him decently durable. However, the main benefit of this skill is that, unlike noteworthy powerhouse servants such as Scathach and Jeanne Alter, his immunity isn’t tied to one of his offensive steroids (Crit Damage/Absorbance up for Scathach, Buster Up for Jeanne Alter). This leaves aside the potential dilemma of needing to use the immunity part of the skill at a poor time to use the offensive part of the skill, leaving Emiya free to use it as a purely defensive skill.

Emiya’s first Strengthening Quest was to his third skill, Magecraft C-. While the 35% increase to his Arts card performance, combined with his BQAAA deck granted him an astounding NP generation rate, the fact that he had no steroid for his Noble Phantasm meant that the results of using his Noble Phantasm were very often lacklustre. The Strengthening Quest changed this skill to Projection Magecraft, which gives a spectacular 40% increase to all three card types. The impact of this was two-fold; first of all, it gave Emiya his much needed Noble Phantasm steroid and allowed him to put out acceptable damage. Secondly, it partially fixed the problem of his odd card deck and allowed him retain his fantastic NP generation, but also allowing him to do good damage and good star generation, turning him into the jack-of-all-trades he was meant to be as opposed to the master-of-none he previously was.

His second Strengthening Quest was for his Clairvoyance C, and was what changed him from the jack-of-all-trades to the master-of-all that people on the JP version of the game know and love. Previously, the 32% increase in star generation rate was utterly wasted on Emiya, as he had only a single quick card. While his star generation was still passable in an AQAEX chain, this was done despite the skill rather than because of it, and even when hitting a full wave of enemies with his 10-hit AoE Noble Phantasm the star generation was drastically underperforming.

However, the change of Clairvoyance C to Hawkeye B+ not only changed the increase of star generation from 32% to 100%, but also added a 100% increase to critical damage, both of which last for three turns. This ability not only fixed his last proper weakness, his poor star generation, and also gave him a secondary attack steroid which enables him to reach some truly amazing damage numbers, especially when combined with a support Waver or Merlin, both of whom provide additional means by which to increase his damage and aid in NP generation.

Interestingly, the thing that makes Emiya one of the most powerful SR units in the JP version of the game is the inverse of what makes him such an awful servant in the current NA version. That is to say, while in the NA version he tries to do a bit of everything and winds up succeeding at nothing as a result, in the JP version his skill-set and card deck enable him to do well at everything and, in some cases, outclass servants who are specialised into a niche. Hawkeye B+ in combination with his multi-hit attacks and 10-hit AoE Noble Phantasm provides fantastic star generation, while his Projection Magecraft and the 100% crit damage increase on Hawkeye B+ enables him to put out a lot of damage, and far more consistently than most servants considering that both the star generation and crit damage increases last for three turns and are both tied to the same skill, allowing him to accomplish with one skill what other servants require their entire kit to pull off. His Projection Magecraft acts as a steroid for his NP damage, NP generation, and Star generation, allowing him to do put out significant damage, NP generation, and star numbers without requiring a specialised card deck, and his Eye of the Mind (True) is a potent defensive skill that, due to not being tied to an offensive effect as is the case with many units, can be used whenever he needs it to defensively without having a detrimental effect on his damage output.

In conclusion, while Emiya is and will continue to be an aggressively mediocre servant until the release of his Strengthening Quests sometime next year, the buffs he gains from those Strengthening Quests not only make up for all the flaws in his base kit, but add new strengths and abilities to his kit that will make him one of the best SR units in the game. As such, Emiya should be considered similarly to a Magikarp; while he may be annoying to level up and use for the meantime, the fact that he becomes capable of performing in just about any role a team could need and sometimes outright exceeding other servants specialised in that role makes him well worth putting effort into despite his current inadequacies.

I don't know how much the translators deviated from the original script ... but boy is the dialogue hilarious. The amount of comical references, they included, was exquisite.

The bronze pot grind was pretty tame. Already done in 1 day. Though I think from the silver one onwards it's going to be hard due to not having the drop-boosting CEs and you will probably want to have a support Okita before taking someone with the CE (who has likely Gudao instead of the other two).
Do all Servants have the chance to drop the 5th copy of Gudao?

@Archer of Red
It's kinda sad that Chloe who is a free Servant will be better than him due to having a more focused role. Being still worse after 2 Strengthening Quests must really sting. #UBWshouldhavebeenArts
Though boosted Emiya is still very good.

Yeah, but Emiya's main problem is one that can't really be fixed. Namely, the combination of a BQAAA deck and an AoE Buster NP. It's the same reason I find Emiya Alter to be better, his skills, NP, and card deck actually match up. Of course, being worse than Chloe isn't really a bad thing, but still.

-Gilles Saber, Caesar, Lu Bu, Prototype Cu

-No Okita

 

fuckit, guess I'll just be happy with Nobu. Is there any hope of getting the max points in the event without emiya? someone on my friends list has a lvl 70 okita+the gudaguda ce that boosts the honnouji points so I'm safe there.

 

how bad of an idea is it to get exp cards during an event? bought a few for nobu to get her usable asap.

Exp cards are fine, but it’s best to get them last. Prioritize getting the GUDA-O CEs first, then grind whatever items you need from there.

I have ~330 sq but I don’t know if I should roll for Okita. I could spend all of it and get nothing pretty easily. And then I would have no real chance at getting Jeanne Alter later.

The obvious answer is to roll for Okita and whale for JAlter :P:

@JSND Alter Dragon Boner Self-restraint. Lots of self-restraint.

I spend one ticket a day and spam FP gacha but that’s about it. I’m pretty happy with what I have right now.

I mean i remember you blowed your quartz for Salter lol

How did you get 330 after that so far is the real question

Log in bonuses give a surprising amount of quartz. Bond, interlude, and quartz fragments add up too.
