Salem Spoilers:
The way Raum/Carter explains Sheba's summoning makes it sound like she is a "counter-force" eligible servant. Honestly I could even see her as a Grand Caster, just her passive powers alone are crazy.

She's even half-demon like a certain other Grand Caster...

Finally her clairvoyance... As depicted here in Salem, is on such a level that even speaking of the future she observers may passively solidify it as fact.

This little snippet from her bio seems to insist her clairvoyance was on the level of even Solomon: "It's implied that her meeting with Solomon in the legends was actually an intense mentally draining Clairvoyance vs Clairvoyance battle, where they would go through the three enigmas adapting to what was becoming settled as the future and the past. "

Just being a plain 'ol SR, almost seems insulting. But I guess it's one of those things where you have separate rarity from in-universe power?

I thought
the explanation was that she was summoned in an incomplete state, and yet she was still that powerful despite being weakened. Which is kind of a non-answer given they have her spirit origin

I went ahead and reinstalled FGO on my 6S and transferred my account back from the 11. I guess I'll be keeping the 6S as a secondary device for a while longer, I'm just glad I didn't sell it right away. It's now my dedicated FGO device, since all of my other apps are fine playing with my new phone. At least now I don't need to deal with all of the lag and can (hopefully) enjoy playing through Salem, which I'll start later this evening. With Christmas coming up, and the number of boxes I'm sure I'll end up farming, I wanted to lessen the headache as much as I could.

For the first time since in several years, my mobile phone no longer has FGO installed on it. I miss the icon being there (I had it placed first, before all of the other gacha games I play). It's a very strange feeling.

On the brightside, that other phone can always be on FGO now, so you don't need to switch to other apps.

This is why humans were given two hands, I am sure of it. I can now grind the Christmas event in FGO with my right hand, and the Christmas event in Magia Record with my left.

I mean caster Gil is also a grand servant candidate just due to clairvoyance and he's also just an Sr.

I can't wait tbh. Pretty much the only reason I won't grail Summer Nobu or Amazoness CEO.

I feel so bad her dream drove her to this. I am very curious how it's handled in FGO.

That Atalante and Achilles fight was super hyped but slightly ruined by how dumb her hatred of Jeanne was and turning herself into that.

The fight wasn't against Achilles but he is the one who ended it.

She was no match for Jeanne and knew it, partaking of the Calydonian boar seemed her only option.

I don't think it's stupid at all. It's really sad she was drove to this. :(

Atalanta has a beautiful wish to save all the children, and she is truly at wits end at this point in the books. Having to witness the insides of Jack, and all the cruelty therein, broke her.

"you... someone like you... I won't let you get in the way!
I have fought so that unloved children could be even slightly happy!
Even if not perfect, I felt like I had accomplished something!
But how were things when I came to this era? Children's misfortune continues!
I did not fight to create a future like this!
And you killed such Children! (Jeanne is the one which finishes Jack in Apocrypha.)
Averting your eyes from that sadness, that pain!
They could have been saved!
Tauropolos!"

In all the Nasuverse, her wish is one of the few non-selfish ones.

It's stupid because her character really didn't have much development except save the children. Which is a cool wish and would've been fulfilled through amakusa anyway if the right team won. Her problem is that she had a good wish but handled the Jack situation in a dumb way because from the viewers pov, Jeanne was clearly in the right handling Jack and Atalanta nonsense would just hurt more people and hurt the children themselves.

I thought she had ample characterization in the books, but the anime skimps on character stuff all around to save time and cramp it all into 26 eps.

In-fac the books have quite a few differences to the anime including the stuff we're talking about right now, so if you've only seen the anime, I guess I could see where you're coming from.

I'm currently in Osaka and couldn't help myself when walking pass capsule machines with FGO so I tried and got these 2 keychains:

Yeah I heard that the anime skipped quite a bit. Really wish they had official novel translations. I hope when they adapt strange Fake in 20 years that they bother giving enough episodes.

Yeah the whole 'Rwar u killed murder child, i angry' thing wasn't really compelling in the anime.

That said I'll probably use the next Sr ticket on her, despite the trash konoe art, I'm a sucker for angry beastmode people.

That's pretty cool. My sister came back from Japan a few weeks ago and got me Demonslayer keychains. Might have to take one off cuz its kinda bulky going into my pocket.

I almost forgot about FGO arcade. I went to an arcade nearby and played about an hour and just got back with about 30 cards. No 5* servants, but here's the best I got:

I love how every time CometDance posts on the reddit, all the people who have never heard of them get confused how they have been able to save so much quartz. XD There's always a ton of "Who are you saving for?" posts. XD

Who the fuck is CometDance
A player who uses exclusively bronze (and Angra) servants to complete all the main content in FGO (they use welfares sometimes for farming htough). They have never rolled the quartz gacha banners except for the tutorial roll, and they are basically who I use as a reference for when I say people can beat the main content with non SSR servants. XD

CometDance also has a youtube channel (Of the same name.) where they post all of the fights they have completed with their servants, and some of the strategies they come up with are crazy.

Honestly, they have taught me a lot about how to use my bronze servants better, and even inspired me to create the strategy I use for raid teams (using taunters/arash and plug suit to bring in even more support to buff the DPS)

Chen Gong is possibly better than every 3 star, so in 2 year we can say the no 3 star rule is rubbish xd

You can say that now, considering how you can beat most CQ and boss fights with 1* and 2* as long as you use the right strategies and servants.

CometDance can't reliably beat Nerofest CQs a lot of the time, but they have been able to do just about everything else. XD

Oh, come on! Not only are they spending time doing the damage challenge from the FGOUSA tour, but it's obviously pre-recorded! The NPs don't have subtitles!

Oyo? They're calling Santa Altera "Attila"? I didn't expect that.

E: I might have pressed submit one second too soon.

E2: Tch, event starts on the 16th. I was hoping there would be a surprise maintenance tonight.

E3: We're getting 10 SQ for the stream (13 counting the pre-stream campaign).

Now if only they'd enable a toggle to skip the animation entirely.

Wait, Lancer Raikou's re-run comes BEFORE Skadi? Damn it all, now I don't know what to do. I really want Lancer Raikou as I missed out on her last Christmas, and this will be my last time to get her. On the other hand...Skadi, and knowing she'll only get one other re-run (so far) which is in basically two years...

I was hoping to spend what I need to for Skadi and then spend whatever was left out for Raikou (assuming she didn't drain me completely). Well there goes that plan.
