Alexmender Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Well...that was something. After grinding some hands for Iri I decided to throw one ticket at the F/Z banner because why not, the CE are pretty nice after all. I didn't get that, I got a spook Arjuna! What a pleasant surprise.

What a pleasant surprise. better start farming god hearts lol. Arjuna's pretty handy. He might be the worst SSR archer, but you need all you can get when you're starting out! Besides, his NP should come in handy soon. Anti-Divine AoE is nice to have. Got Hans skills levelled a bit and maxed his level out. I'll probably be using him more often soon enough. I'll try to max fou his HP for future content. Got Nightingale max fou'd in both hp/att. She's gonna need it considering her role is primarily support. Sometime soon, I'll get her angels cry skill maxed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 8 hours ago, MrSmokestack said: @eclipse MHX Uses Galaxy Meteor Sword then NPQQ ‘s the 69k HP mob. What is the turncount? If no one has died then the deck resets every third turn, meaning Lancelot just uses Eternal Arms Mastership to delete the 82k mob with one brave chain or Tesla gets Arts crits with Galvanism, using Pioneer of the Stars to build up NP and mop the floor anyway. 8 hours ago, Czarpy said: Plugsuit attack boost then NPQQ brave chain the 69k np one then the 45k hp one. Tesla uses his second and third skills. Then next turn, you have lancelot absorb the stars and go buster berserker crit. Both of you got the first move right. . .but on the wrong target. Here's what I did: Turn 1: Use Buff All Allies, MHX NPQQ on the 82K golem. Her NP does a bit over 100K damage, meaning that it'll kill it outright. Her next two cards and extra attack will bounce over to the 69K golem, which dropped it to something like 45K. Turn 2: Stun one of the golems using the plugsuit, pray for a buster card. Instead, I pulled a buster chain out of my deck, with 60+ crit stars to my name. That's enough to kill the non-stunned golem and drop the other down to something manageable. Turn 3: Take out the broom and sweep up whatever's left of the final golem. If I hadn't pulled a buster card on turn 2, I would've been forced to use Tesla's NP (this is why I maxed out Pioneer of the Stars). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you really like him I would recommend to save your SQ because as an Arts Assassin I see Shiki as the superior choice. He is more suited as Arts Support because of his higher Star gen and the targetable taunt but his damage and NP are quite lacking. Plus didn't you say that you want Li Shuwen? The guy is on rate-up next alongside Xuanzang, better save for him then, no? --- Finished the main event. Considering Fate/Zero was my introduction to the series, I don't have to elaborate why I loved this event just like the KnK one. Story-wise I'm a bit skeptical that this was written by Urobuchi. Like considering every story the man touches turns into some dark stuff this one was surprisingly positive all the way to the end. Certain characters got a happier ending than in the source material. Especially Kayneth's character surprised me a lot in that regard. And the music! "Dogfight" as the boss theme is amazing. Got shivers when "The Battle Ts To The Strong" and "Point Zero" played in their respective battles. Despite the good time; the event is way too long. I would argue that this event is easily manageable within 2 weeks. I'm not going to complain about it too much because it means we got ourselves superior farming nodes for 2 more weeks.

Kotarou Fuuma's an AoE assassin (so's summer shishou), so that knocks shuten off the priority list for now... Li Shu Wen is desired solely due to arts team shenanigans. Same with saberlot. everything else is waifu. I'll probably break open my wallet for the summer gacha. I'm probably not gonna roll on the Prisma Illya banner.

Sire Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 37 minutes ago, MrSmokestack said: And Rider is the best for grinding QP, correct? We have 3 bonus unit assassins. Assassins (Arm Hassan, Hundred Hassan, Kerry) and Casters (Waver, Caster Giles, Welfare) are good due to their bonus unit counts. So, farming Rider and Assassin seals are probably worthwhile. Apparently farming the Residential District (Assassin Node) is the best spot for QP farming, but sources differ. There is also the Samurai Residence (Rider Node) which is also a viable option and may be easier to reliably farm. Some also may farm for Feathers on top of QP, and the nodes for that are..."Regarding Feather farming: Samurai Residence A has the best rate but low QP, Wharf EX has the second best rate with higher QP, and Samurai Residence EX has the lowest rate but also drops Chaos Claws."
