I knew my boy would be the welfare, pretty cool that they made him single target Arash. Can charge straight to 200% with a lored mana loading so he'll probably see quite a bit of use on 90++. EDIT: Actually, it seems early translations of the skill were wrong, it basically doubles his starting charge, which is a lot more reasonable than the initial numbers people were throwing around lol. Still pretty good though.

Aoko looks mechanically interesting but a bit wonky? I get the feeling she's kind of a test run for Olga and will probably get outclassed (as a DPS at least) as soon as she releases with a more finely tuned AOE gimmick. Definitely getting "early unit of its type with some design choices that'll get improved on as soon as they figure out what worked and what didn't" vibes. At least those are my first impressions so far, that could change after some labbing and people figure out how to properly use her and good team synergies. She looks fun anyway, it's just too bad that this isn't the kind of game that encourages units that stray too far from the cookie cutter looper jar.

I like Alice more so I'm waiting to see what her kit looks like before deciding how deep I'm willing to go for either. I will say they both have some of the best looking NPs in the entire game. Alice's look straight out of Mahoyo's VN, so cool.

Yay single-target Arash. Arash has easily been my most-used low rarity servant from how useful NP and dying is, so having a single-target version will be nice.

Everyone: Aoko, power creep, confusing kit etc etc

Me: why is her art so underwhelming? Lol

Tried a random multi-pull on the Castoria banner since I haven't summoned anything for a long time, got her NP2.
I think I won't tried my luck on anything else now until Anniversary, I would just waste SQ I feel.

Hm not sure who to get with the 4* ticket...

Saber Alter NP2, Yagyu NP1, berserkelot NP3 or Herc NP4? Or just another one that I'm missing?

Seems like intern-kun got deservedly scolded for the bonus enemy spawn nonsense. Latest JP 40AP event node is back to what you'd expect in 2024, with the 4th enemy appearing alongside the other 3. These bonus enemies tied to certain missions, so needing to choose between more optimal farming and mission completion was dumb.

It really is quite a shame we don't get more non-CQ content that breaks from AoE NP 3T farming. I like Aoko's kit a lot. I want bond points for her, so I have no issues with using her as a 3rd support for arts and quick teams.

I'm a fan of the theme for each of her ascensions, but the poses for asc1 and asc2 are pretty boring, and FA looks like it could be a non-FA art for a welfare.

I would strongly recommend against trying to get it all done at the last minute. Event progress is gated by point farming, and the early nodes all suck. And the last copy of the event CE (basically the Buster-farming CE) requires more than 2x the points as clearing the story (or a drop, but who wants to rely on a drop?).

lol thanks for the heads up. This is sort of making me not want to play the event at all now though XD

I wanna just so i can form an opinion, but it sounds like an vent to skip if any and I didn't like the last Learning with Manga related thing... so maybe it's for the best. sucks because i wanted to at least see Anning, but I got an event in Twisted to farm and I'm currently addicted to FFXIV

Got Yuyu. Got her in so few rolls that if I hadn't chased her during IS she would be tied for my cheapest rate-up SSR. Well, I can put any saltiness about those rolls behind me. The important thing is that she's in my Chaldea now and did no damage to my SQ reserves, having taken only a handful of tickets.

On the JP side, she hasn't had another rerun outside of GSSRs since this banner (and I don't like any of the GSSR banners she'll be on), so I really felt the need to take the shot at getting her.

Now I need to decide if I go for the mice, when I go for them if I do, and how far I'm willing to go for them. I definitely want them, but Yuyu was so nice that she gave me the chance to guarantee another SSR. I don't know how much of that I'm willing to spend on a Servant who, I must admit, wouldn't see any real use.

The animations definitely suck, but I'm not too bothered by the kits because I don't do CQs anymore. For story you can mostly use anyone and that's all I really care about.

It does make the gacha part a little dull though. There's still some classes I need to fill on JP and CEs I would like to get, but on NA I don't have much ambition to pull.

I am severely lacking in Lancers because I mostly roll for servants I like and I'm F2P except for GSSR banners, my only "usable" Lancer is a Lv100 NP2 Lartoria, I have no other SSR Lancer.

Speaking of Lancers, I think I'm going to get an extra copy of Barghest instead of Caenis, While I like Caenis I have no use for a 4* NP1 AoE Lancer with a mediocre kit, so It'd be straight to the second archive.... If I get another copy of Barghest from a banner or whatever I would be able to get her to 120 with 2 appends once she reaches bond 15.

Despite finding her latest buff in JP rather underwhelming, that + the animation update were still enough to push me to try nabbing an NP2 Jalter. Gave it an honest 30 pulls attempt and got nothing to show for it, and since I didn't want to go too deep this is it for now. Plenty of other Jalter rate-ups ahead and now is not the best time to be spending.

I also did 30 pulls for Crane, and actually managed to nab a copy of her! Been flirting with the idea of adding her to my roster for a long time so this was a nice lucksack. Between all 60-pulls, not a single Honey Lake to be found. I did get another origin bullet though lol

Going to give Sherlock a significant attempt at his next banner, so I might actually skip Arcueid after all. It's his last one and he'd be a much more significant addition to my roster than her, so I feel like I need to go for it. Really, really hoping he's generous enough to come cause I do still need some savings for S.Skadi.

Finished the event and I must say I cringed everytime Guda and Mash acted like sycophants to Super Bunyan, like my god she hasn't done anything to get that treatment, especially as she forces you to clean her messes and puts shitty statues of herself

It reached maximum leves of cringe during the fight against regular Bunyan and the cheers both gave to her

Ah shit

Only just finished Section 1 and didn't really like Super Bunyan, so this is disheartening to hear.

Might be another Summer Hokusai experience for me, lol

It sucks when the devs/writers' opinion of a character completely diverges from the players~

Does Habetrot ever get a rate up? I've been wanting to roll for her but dreading how much it'll take...

I'm pretty sure that nothing in the FP gacha ever gets a rate-up. Even during times like this, I don't think Anning is on rate-up, she just happens to be present in the gacha. Same with the EXP CEs.

There was a decent period of time during this event where I'd rolled more copies of Habetrot (I think I've gotten maybe three of her during this event) than I had the 3* gacha CE.

Alright I guess I'll try for it during this event since there's CE EXP cards dropping too. Need 4 copies hopefully it doesn't take too long for her to appear.

This account binding system can't come soon enough.... my Bluestacks refuses to open so I thought that's it for my jp account.... found the 50gig folder (no wonder my c drive kept running out of space) in programdata so hopefully I can just back that up before reinstalling (or it just uses that data anyway).

They've started to add 90 Star nodes to Ordeal Call which are a level above 90++ and they are 100% aimed at ST servants.

These nodes drop guaranteed gold mats as well so hopefully they keep rolling them out... i'll rather do these 3 times a day than do the egg node from lb4 15 times to get 1 egg.

Just because the kit seems stacked doesn't mean that's the reality.... you can probably ignore the farming and buster/extra card gimmick since best case use for Aoko right now seems to be as a replacement for Merlin/Lady Avalon in the invincible comps.... and I lucksacked Lady Avalon within ten singles last week.

Alice need to see damage and refund numbers but aside from being a farmer seems you can maybe run her with 5 supports against man trait cqs (since man trait dmg will get her closer to st output on her np) since you're invincible for 13 out of 26 turns.. but it's man trait... Morgan covers that.

Its less of a need and more of a want if that makes sense. There isn't any content hard enough to clear or farm but its more like, boy I wish Geronimo still wasn't trash in year 7 type of thing. Or yay new character has the kit of 5 others put together, but Iskander still has no NP charge. All things easily solved if they didn't treat buffs like content or cared about balance imo.

I really don't understand why they don't just buff older servants more often, It's dumb that there's still servants with regular old ass Charisma or 1 turn Mana Burst and no NP upgrade when some newer servants almost get a full kit of an older servants rolled into a single skill.

Some of the year 1 or 2 servants are absurdly power crept and could borderline be considered 4* at this point.

It is so dumb, the fact that even when Anniversary is a sure date to get upgrade they do the annoying thing of only upgrading 14

The worst is that they also waste slots buffing summer servants rather than buffing them when summer happens and even then "buff" skills on a way that doesn't do anything

I'm not sure who to use my ticket on. I have Saber Alter at NP4 and would kind of like to get her to NP5 and, with her being a story-locked Servant, she'll never spook me when I'm pulling for someone else. That being said, I don't have Nero at all and have a ton of her outfits from events, so...

The internal debate continues.

I know various Type-Moon related fandoms tend to bicker between themselves but sometimes i get the impression, that the supposed fans of say KNK or Melty Blood didn't really follower their favorite series that far along to get surprised by a not recent fact about it. I can expect Neko-Arc fans to be ignorant about anything really.
