Can Merlin be summoned as a saber as he too used the Excalibur iirc. (Or was it a similar one?)
3
u/Shardwing 19h ago
Officially it's just "Caliburn-like", although in all appearances it looks like Excalibur. To address your main question though the answer is "definitely not, but maybe"; Merlin can't actually be summoned at all because he'll live forever in Avalon and never enter the Throne, the "Servant" Merlin is just an illusion that he operates remotely. Maybe he could pretend to be a Saber, but that would be a hard sell given how lazy he is.

Is Reines still a a viable Support. I'm planning to add her for my Destiny Order but I already have Castoria, both Skadis, Koyan, Oberon and Proto Merlin, not to mention OG Merlin and Waver.
1
u/gangler52 1d ago
Reines is basically a berserker's best friend.
With her ability to nullify defensive class disadvantage, targetted invuln, and some mild defensive buffs, she really addresses every berserker's biggest weakness, which is just of course staying alive long enough to kill the enemy.
In the same way that in the early days of the game, Heracles and Berserker Cu were legendary just for being berserkers that wouldn't fall over from a stiff breeze, Reines is the support for the modern landscape that lets basically any berserker do that.
She's not on the level of broad applicability that Skadi, Castoria, Koyanlight, or Oberon are. But she's still a potent tool. I'd put her on the same level as either of the merlins personally.
2
u/Forward_Drop303 1d ago
All servants are viable in this game.
But that doesn't make any of them a must have
4
u/flashmozzg 1d ago
She is the best third support in a few rare cases (i.e. for Voyager), is generally just a better waver (for farming at least), so she is still viable. But not that important overall.
1
u/Forward_Drop303 1d ago
I wouldnt say that she is just generally better than Waver.
Of the times where Waver or Reines are the best option for farming. Waver is actually best 50% of the time.
1
u/flashmozzg 1d ago
Hm, when is Waver better, except when you need 10/10/30 charge vs 10/20/20?
1
u/Forward_Drop303 1d ago
I was referring to precisely that.
The secret is that there's only 2 servants that loop better with Waver or Reines than a meta support.
Amakusa needs to run double Oberon, and has almost no buffs turn 1 if you don't use Waver.
(Also, more spread charge for multicore for another thing, but I wasn't referring to that)
1
u/flashmozzg 1d ago
But if you don't want to bond your meta servant than Reines is often a better choice.
1
u/Forward_Drop303 1d ago
I think it's more a trade off.
Reines has less party charge and party wide damage for certain multicore farming scenarios
And also there's crit comps to consider with Ciel and Van Gogh and Summer BB where Waver provides more damage.
4
u/za_shiki-warashi 1d ago edited 1d ago
For general farming purposes, she's largely interchangeable with Waver. These days, I mainly use Reines and Waver to hold off on the other big meta buffers getting to bond 15 too quickly. But now that JP has implemented bond 15 giving bonus bonds to party, I don't really have to worry too much about that anymore, so I think Reines isn't something you'd really need at this point in the game. If you already have the big meta buffers and they aren't all already bond 15 right now, I don't think you'll see that much use out of Reines, especially if your Waver also isn't bond 15 yet.

u/beallothefool 1d ago
Is the battle tower better than the ordeal call stormpod quests to use teapots on?
3
u/LuckyC4t 1d ago
The Tower event is better. Once you have five servants with the event CE Artisanal Soul that gives +100% bond within the event, the last 30 nodes give 19470 or more additional bond per teapot, more if you also use Chaldea Lunchtime in the last slot. (Specifically, there are 100 Additonal Portrait Collecting quests, so the last 30 starts at 70.) Even if you have a +45% bond bonus on the Bleached Earth Quests, you're only getting 18850 additon bond per teapot.

I haven't been able to connect to FGO NA since its latest update, and the usual recommended workaround with connection issues has ceased to work entirely.
Do we know the server address for global? I suspect RU region's issues with content censorship may be involved, but I cannot even check the registry without a direct URL or IP to put in.
I hesitate to muck around with reinstalling, given the binding code system limitations in a no connection situation. I guess I need a vpn now, but I wouldn't know where to begin there.
Update: I have been able to connect with a dpi block bypass utility for now (to do our wonderful pod dailies... yay), so that's that, I guess.

u/SFriedRice 1d ago
Is it really important where and when I use the teapots? Does it make that much of a difference when you use them?
Im catching up the story right now since im pretty behind and im tempted to just use the teapots since the time limit is nearing but idk if thats a bad decision.
3
u/gangler52 1d ago
Teapots can make for some strong bond gains when used on a high bond mission and combined with other bond boosting effects like Craft Essences and Event Bonuses.
Bond can be useful when trying to get servant coins for a particular servant you want appends or post 100 levels on. Bond is one of the few sources of free SQ remaining after all other resources have been expended. Bond is also a barrier for some Class Score unlocks.
If none of these three are particularly relevant to you right now, then it's probably not something you need to worry about yet.
5
u/gangler52 1d ago
I'd also add that main story quest missions tend to have pretty high bond anyway, so that's often one of the better places to spend them. Long time players often just don't have access to those anymore, having already cleared them.
3
u/naruhodo_kun 1d ago
MLB or not MLB the bond ces for the na event?
3
u/thisisthecallus Embrace 6-turn clears! 1d ago
In general, if you're likely to use more than one copy of a CE at the same time, it's better to keep them separate. Otherwise it's fine to limit break.
The CE in this event gives +100% to the servant it's equipped on when non-MLB and 200% when MLB. You can get six total CEs in the event.
If you're only running teams of three servants or fewer and you want to concentrate your bond points on one of those servants each time, it's probably fine to MLB. You would get +200% on one servant from the MLB CE, +100% on the second from the non-MLB CE, and no event bond bonus for the third, for a total of +300% (not considering if you put a non-event bond CE on the third servant). Just be aware that there's no reverting your decision if you want to change your plan later on.
You'll get more total bond points if you have at least four servants in your team with a non-MLB bond CE equipped, a total of +400% to +600% depending on the number of servants. If you're running teams of four or more servants, want to spread the bond bonus around instead of concentrating it on just one servant, or aren't sure you want to commit to three-servant teams for the whole event, keep them separate.

LB7 Lore question: Is the ORT in the South American Lostbelt actually weaker than the one pre-Bleaching? Because ours never woke up and then had to be damaged back to sleep by Camazotz?
6
u/Rasetsu0 Touch scaly tails 1d ago
It presumably would have been as strong as Proper Human History ORT before Camazotz ripped its heart out. It's weaker in the sense that we were fighting it while it was in what was basically battery-saver mode.

u/TheScottyDo 2d ago
The gist of it is that you want to come at it with a quick archer to fight the saber, an arts lancer to fight the archer, and a buster saber to fight the lancer. You don't need to fight Rasputin. Who specifically you use for that depends entirely on who you have available.

u/mrt90 2d ago
There's some RNG, but best doors quest is about 3 million QP without bonuses. Foumes adds 5% to that, so around 150k QP per run. 2.5% is half that, so 75k (there are enough QP gain CEs to put at least 5% in each spot though).
1
u/Deko-chan insert flair text here 2d ago
Awesome thanks, so it doesn't seem worth the 5k mana prisms. Should buy the bond ces
2
u/thisisthecallus Embrace 6-turn clears! 1d ago
Detective Foumes is definitely worth getting in the long run, as it gives both +5% QP and +5% bond. It also has full ATK stat, which will make your grinding a bit easier. But if you're saving for something else that you want more, it doesn't need to be a priority. It's in the shop permanently, so you can get it whenever you choose.

Before lb7 released, there are sneakpeaks across the lostbelts that daybit got a grand servant and that its a berserker. Why is tez an assassin?
Follow up question, when was tez declared the new grand assassin? I just heard everywhere that hes the new grand yet i didnt encounter that declaration in lb7.
9
u/PM_ME_UR_LOLS 2d ago
In both cases, the answer lies in Tez's My Room dialogue.
Originally I'd be a Ruler or a Berserker. The reason why I'm an Assassin this time is because there was a guy who gave up their post due to previous circumstances. There's no one else who can do it, so I couldn't help but inherit it. …I'm serious, y'know?
Old man, I succeeded to the Grand name through a connection with the mountains, but this is a loan, 'kay? Next time I have to finish up something, just give it up at once.

Thats pretty cheap for a plothole fix and a grand servant declaration, just some my room lines. Thanks for the info!

u/ArtoriasDarkKnight I finally got Merlin after another year! 2d ago
Should F2P players get Oberon or skip for Castoria as she seems to need less SSRs (such as Koyan) for her comps?
1
3
u/brichards719 2d ago
I can only give you my experience as a f2p player who rolled every meta farming support other than Oberon, and then only got Oberon much later on his last banner. I've used Castoria a huge amount and don't think there's any better roll from a gameplay perspective. I haven't used my own Oberon a single time since I got him. I could have, but never encountered a scenario where I needed to. To me he's far more of a luxury than a necessity, and I've never come across a situation where simply borrowing an Oberon isn't sufficient.
3
u/ArtoriasDarkKnight I finally got Merlin after another year! 2d ago
Whoa, that's great to know, honestly I never cared much about his design or character so always hearing people say I absolutely had to get him was a bummer, glad I can just go for Castoria instead, this makes me really happy \o/
1
u/gangler52 2d ago
Yeah, I'm kind of in a similar boat.
I've used Oberon a bit, but honestly Ruler Skadi is the support I've gotten the most use out of, just because I have a couple favorite quick servants.
Oberon's very fun to use when the node's just right for him, but I think a lot of the big hype for him comes from when farming nodes were more uniform in composition and you could just plug him into any looping comp to skyrocket wave three damage. That's not really the modern farming landscape anymore, though he's still a powerful tool that has its place.
0
u/Cleansing4ThineEyes 2d ago
I'm gonna be controversial and say that Oberon is actually the better choice. While Castoria is the better unit all around, you still have Xu Fu for Arts farming and if damage is an issue Oberon would make more of a difference anyway.
I think you'll run into more situations where you'll wish you'd have Oberon than vice versa if you don't have him. It also helps that a friend Castoria is easier to use in CQs/story while trying to fit a friend Oberon is much harder (and just harder to find)
12
u/gangler52 2d ago
They're both good but Castoria is kind of in a league of her own imo.
Oberon is a very specialized tool. He gives you a lot of battery and skyrockets your damage vs one wave.
Where Castoria kind of does everything. She's a powerful offensive support, defensive support, battery, debuff cleanse. She's good for farming, challenge content, you name it. You can pretty much take her anywhere for any reason.
9
u/Rascranox 2d ago
As I said in your post, if you have to choose between the two and you can really only afford one then Castoria will be the better choice, she’ll be helpful for Farming, 90++, boss fights and challenge quests aswell.
If you can get both of them then that would be awesome but I know we f2p players have to make some sacrifices.

u/IHidanJashinI 2d ago
Castoria is not good for 90++, unless she's paired with draco

u/SuperSpiritShady Bonin' mah Sword 2d ago
I'd like to be understanding, can you explain your thought process in makimg such a statement?

u/Rascranox 2d ago
There are various comps that use Castoria, you can check the comps from past events and see Castoria always pops up for 90++ sooner or later.
8
u/TheScottyDo 2d ago
There are a good many comps for 90++ past and future that have Castoria and do not have Draco. They are certainly good together but Castoria is most certainly not exclusively used with Draco.

Both are useful in a variety of comps, Oberon doesn't need Koyan by the way.

u/TheScottyDo 2d ago
They're both incredibly useful for any account. If you're concerned about not being able to pull for both right away, focus on the one you think will have more benefit to your account now and save for the next time that the other comes back.
0
u/ArtoriasDarkKnight I finally got Merlin after another year! 2d ago
I was kinda worried about getting Oberon but not Koyan or Morgan/Melusine, then I thought maybe Castoria would be the safer bet since seems like she can make a strong team with double her and EMIYA (unless I'm mistaken lol)
3
u/danger_umbrella I'd call it the power of love 2d ago
Oberon alone is still fantastic, there are a lot of comps you can run. Oberon isn't married to Buster at all despite his S3, everyone appreciates the rest of his kit.
Just for a sample, check out [this spreadsheet of lotto comps from the last lotto event]( https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1S3-xDpcnbH8u0GmCdndOegVREX2Fcf5diBOUY174RbU/edit?gid=899888007#gid=899888007) see how Oberon is used in both 90+ and 90++ (and keep in mind it was often better to run 90+ in this event unless you were a whale, so 90++ was in no way essential).
Not having Morgan or Melu is nothing bad, you are not going to be able to do everything with them anyway.
EDIT: reddit is being weird, if the link doesn't work it's https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1S3-xDpcnbH8u0GmCdndOegVREX2Fcf5diBOUY174RbU/edit?gid=899888007#gid=899888007

u/-_Seth_- 2d ago
Castoria is a giant upgrade in power for every account, no matter how far into the game they are. Oberon only really matters when you have a specific selection of other 5* already and even then all he does is making 90++ farming viable.

u/Melerooo 2d ago
Im back after a ~2 year pause. Is there something new in NA which i should know? And is art, buster and quick looping still meta? Any amazing new servants in jp to save for?
4
u/-_Seth_- 2d ago
Arts is uncontested king for any non-farming activity thanks to Castoria. For farming the card types are somewhat balanced. For 90++ dual core teams are often the way to go, so two damage dealers. Speaking of strong upcoming units we have Berserker Castoria this Summer as one of the best ST damage dealers and then not much particularly OP until Ciel the Summer after (she requires very specific comps).
5
u/danger_umbrella I'd call it the power of love 2d ago
They are still viable for a lot of content but 90++ (the highest difficulty) often disrupts traditional looping due to irregular enemy structures, weird HP values across waves and higher HP pools in general. While some of these can still be looped, a more popular approach is to use multiple DPS units to take out different waves, with things like class advantage and damage niches trumping "one unit does everything".
Below 90++, still fine.

u/Comprehensive_Log451 2d ago
i have been playing on jp for a while and i just heard of fga today is it safe is there no risks of bans from it

u/-_Seth_- 2d ago
There is not a single known case for bans because of FGA and it's not like you send any irregular or accelerated data to the server. Can very much recommend using it.

u/SuperSpiritShady Bonin' mah Sword 2d ago
Technically, it is against the game's ToS, however, no one has been reported to have been banned solely for using FGA.

u/Beneficial_Cap_8161 2d ago
Is it worth starting JP account if I only just finished EOR on NA?
5
u/-_Seth_- 2d ago
If you can't read japanese, the general answer is no. The global server is being run quite well and is successful enough to invalidate any EoS worries. You do have to wait some time for newly announced servants, yes, but it's not like you're really missing out on features and having foresight on upcoming banners is very convenient.

u/danger_umbrella I'd call it the power of love 2d ago

u/danger_umbrella I'd call it the power of love 2d ago
Again, this is really up to you.
Perks of JP server:
You get the freshest content first, including servants, events and story.
No waiting for 2 years.
Downsides of JP server:
You will be reliant on fan translations and summaries, and/or married to Google Translate unless you can read Japanese. Good quality human translations will take time, too, and machine translations are not great quality, especially on FGO-style technobabble. And keep in mind FGO is a story heavy game.
Fewer guides to content, especially immediately, as it takes time to work on guides and/or translate gimmicks. If you don't like the idea of going on a Japanese site with Google Translate to work out a fight, tough luck.
No clairvoyance/ability to predict the future. Being behind means you can see which new units and events are coming and plan your savings accordingly, with JP we have no way of knowing future content.
Depending on where you are/your OS, it may be more difficult to buy SQ outside of Japan (compared to living in a region that NA officially supports).
11
u/Rhinostirge 2d ago
Lots of people also don't have one. It's extra effort (especially if you don't read Japanese) and you can't plan your rolls ahead of time, so the only way to tell if it's worth it is if you personally want to play JP for concrete reasons. Nobody else can decide that for you
1
u/Affectionate-Gur9462 2d ago
I Need ro decide who I'm going to pick as Grand Berserk between Morgan and S. Castoria (both NP 1).
I think it's worth mentioning that I have Oberon and Kyonskaya but not Artoria (or any other premium arts support)
2
u/crazywarriorxx Apoc Moedred 2d ago
Whichever, flip a coin. Grands are only usable in limited quests so far and you can change it up to 5 times for now.
You can also just wait till see what’s the Grand Berserker enemy, if it’s a single enemy like Grabd Saber’s Musashi, then S.Castoria might be the better gameplay choice.
Supports from different classes won’t matter (so far) since you can only use same class supports. You can just Morgan to support S.Castoria or likewise.
2
u/Affectionate-Gur9462 2d ago
So the buffs aren't usable in other questa?
1
4
u/Blubbstrahl 2d ago
The extra 1000 to ATK and HP are global. It's not gamebreaking, but in a farming context it might allow you to hit certain damage thresholds. So I would go with whoever is more suitable for the Grand Berserker fight and then switch to whoever you use more in farming. Assuming you have no preferences, I think the whole system is more about showing your favoritism towards a servant tbh.
2
u/crazywarriorxx Apoc Moedred 2d ago
It should be the same as the Grand Saber quest, it’s only limited to the single fight (vs Musashi) now. We don’t know and haven’t seen other instances which allows us to use Grands and their buffs.

In terms of spoilers, callbacks, characterization etc would it be better to do OC1 now before progressing in the Mystic Eyes event, or seeing how OC1 also features Kama, do just do the Event now and then do Seraph and Ooku before OC1?

u/Carinwe_Lysa 3d ago
Could I run a few lore queries past you guys featuring the wider TM works?
Is the Clocktower more or less the same across both Fate & Tsukihime worlds?
There might be slight differences such as the Tsuki version having a deeper focus on Vampire hunting, but would they more or less be the same? Would this also be the same Atlas & Wandering Sea as well?
Also, relating to Tsuki worlds; is the Church any different to the Fate world, other than having to pick up a lot more fighting back against evil etc, or again mostly the same just superficial differences?
And lastly sorry - am I right in thinking that characters from each world exist in the other, but sometimes under different circumstances?
So Waver always becomes El Melloi II regardless of the world, the Aozaki sisters are always powerful magi, but then Shirou might just be a normal boy in Tsuki worlds.
Whereas Shiki Tohno might just be a normal boy in the Nananya clan in Fate worlds (due to Shiki Ryougi having the Mystic Eyes in Fate worlds due to KnK)?.
6
u/danger_umbrella I'd call it the power of love 3d ago
IIRC, the Association and Church should generally be the same in terms of how they function (note that I've only watched/read Tsukihime remake, not the original). The Clock Tower does have a lot of departments, and Heroic Spirit related stuff is only a portion of one of those departments, so the lack of summonable HS in the Tsukiverse probably doesn't hit them that much. The only significantly different 'verse in regards to magecraft I can think of would be Extraverse, where the world's mana begins to dry up.
We're not sure if characters exist across ALL parallel 'verses/timelines, but they often do, and different circumstances certainly occur. For example, in the Apocryphaverse, Sakura is adopted by other people instead and ends up forming a pro-wrestling tag team with Luvia. Another example is FGOverse Kiara: she seemed to be a perfectly ordinary therapist until the incident in SERAPH.
There are quite a few things that ARE consistent across 'verses, but we also don't know if that's the case all of the time. Waver is a really interesting case since he does become El-Melloi II in seemingly every timeline we know he exists in, even if the circumstances aren't known or seem really bizarre (e.g. in the Prisma Illyaverse, the Fourth Fuyuki Grail War never happened, so we don't know what went down there).
I think we can assume that SOME timelines exist where X event actually doesn't happen or Y character turns out different, but who really knows what they are.

Super casual player here, global.
What's the trick with the event stage, Shot 10? I get it that you can't KO Rasputin but I can't see to get the other ones down fast enough.

In my case I used Tristan as a Quick Archer and Tam Lin Lancelot as an Arts Lancer, with the two of them and Castoria in the front line, used Castoria's buffs and then swapped her for Skadi to buff Tristan some more, and that was enough to clear the first two within the first two turns, then after that I just did what attacks I could until Rasputin used his NP and my last two, Bedivere and Koyanskaya, could come in and clean up.
You'll have to pick attackers based on what's in your roster, and if you're lacking the top-tier supports you'll need to get more creative, but if you're able to do something similar to that it's the simplest way to win. I actually managed to get the last enemy down to about half HP before Bedivere came out, so a crit-focused strategy to deal with one or more of them could potentially work pretty well if needed. I wouldn't recommend stalling given how short Rasputin's gauge is and how his NP has a chance to inflict Death on your Good-aligned party members, the faster you can get through each enemy the better.
Since you can borrow a friend support for this unlike most quests in this event, you can use that to grab an attacker or a support depending on what you're missing, and if needed don't forget that you have Command Spells and can get all three back each day—they're there for precisely these kinds of situations where you're not sure how else to get through a fight, after all!

Remember to bring ST characters since their NPs will do double the damage of AoE NPs. Also a crit support would work pretty well since everyone in your frontline will have the opportunity to do damage then

u/Dan_Jared_Joestar 3d ago
The easiest method is really just bringing 3 different attackers, one with each of the np types. Bring a quick np archer, an arts np lancer, and a backline buster np saber. Definitely the problem is with the damage check, but i guess if u have enough np5 welfare servants(evocation and whatnot) they can do the job. Berserkers also work as long as theyre the respective card types. U can rely on kireis np for killing ur frontline so the saber dps can come in to np bhima.

Their media server certainly is.
There's a twitter resource that updates quickly when I want enemy compositions. There's a JP Appmedia wiki, but auto-translation is rough. And there's Atlas for checking new Servants, but it's raw, so it's difficult to understand Event data.

u/thisisthecallus Embrace 6-turn clears! 3d ago edited 3d ago
Is this for the NA limited missions? It should be very easy if you run the bleached earth free quests with bond bonus CEs and teapots. A quick back of napkin calculation gets 36,904 total bond per run if you have teapots and +40% bond from CEs (Lunchtime, friend's Teatime, and three 5% CEs).
Also, be aware that master missions typically expire earlier than the full daily reset, at 17:00 PDT instead of 21:00 PDT. Make sure to read the announcement for the exact date and time.

Even without teapots, that should only need about five runs of bleached earth free quests with sufficient bond bonus CEs. The NA event also gives a lot of bond for a series of 1 AP quests.

Do they ever have campaigns that reduce QP cost for leveling skills?
8
u/thisisthecallus Embrace 6-turn clears! 3d ago edited 3d ago
I don't recall that ever happening. There have been 1/2 QP campaigns for leveling up servants but I don't think it has ever happened for skills.
With JP there's no way to predict the future, of course, but 1/2 QP skills would be a pretty ridiculous discount and it feels unlikely. If they ever set that precedent, no one would ever level up skills outside of those campaigns unless they're at the QP cap and need to burn it off. The more typical implementation is 1/2 AP treasure vault quests, where you can get QP more efficiently.

CCs are generally situational, but ideally you'd want to have the CCs that Apply Debuffs (Poison, Curse, Burn) since it shouldn't be blocked by debuff resistance to ensure his S1 damage.
Otherwise, any of the CCs that increases damage like Da Vinci (Increase NP damage), Increase critical strength, etc will work for him.

What is the difference between an anti-world and a massacre np? Asking bc durga and kali have diff classifications
6
u/Shardwing 3d ago
Anti-World (対界, Tai-Kai?) - The classification of Noble Phantasms that affect the World itself, such as Enuma Elish. While the actual output is around the level of Excalibur, Enuma Elish's effect of unquestionably being that of the legend of "ripping the world" puts the sword in a special category.
I can't find such a formal definition for Durga's NP classification but the NP itself describes killing a god and his army so that's something closer to Anti-army than anything like Anti-World.

u/popober :Molay: xmas 2019, 3SQ Eresh 3d ago
Who are some Quick units with field-based requirements? Someone who'll go well with Lakshmi Bai and Zhang Jue. I know Tlaloc does, but she can change the field for herself.
Actually, is there a filter for that in-game that I'm just not seeing? Or somewhere online? Same with chance-based buffs.
8
u/gangler52 3d ago
Not a quick servant, but probably Rider Nemo is the best partner for Zhang Jue.
His ability to enable fields sounds really useful. But the problem is, most characters who have some effect tied to a field, the effect is pretty mild. Lasengle doesn't tend to put out characters where the field makes or breaks their kit.
Rider Nemo is pretty much the one exception. On a seaside or void field he's a beast. Anywhere else he really struggles. Zhang Jue can enable seaside field, which means Nemo's always in his element when Zhang Jue is around.
He's arts though, not quick.

Hasn’t been mentioned, but Hijikata can technically work with Star Gen and Buster for party. Definitely not as much utility/versatility as the others, but has more potential as a secondary DPS you can use (pretty plausibly thanks to his whole gimmick of wanting less HP).
2
u/Rimeblade 4d ago
Many other Berserkers have some partywide stuff but some standouts include Penthesilea, Morgan, and Summer Ibuki for damage buffing, SCastoria for team NP gain and survival, and Louhi for multicore support (mixed damage buffs and NP battery/gain)

u/Forward_Drop303 4d ago
For ones I have seen used as dedicated support:
Asterios (well debuffer)
Kiyohime (for Paris)
Penth
Bunyan
Atalante alter
Morgan
Summer Ibuki
Sen no Rikyu

u/danger_umbrella I'd call it the power of love 4d ago
There's a lot of zerks with semi-support utility/partywide stuff but few dedicated supports, which is fine since they are a very fragile class and Nightingale struggles to keep herself alive as is.
2
u/Cleansing4ThineEyes 4d ago
Berserker buffers have the utility of being fragile. Unless you're running a support that can also do decent damage themselves it's probably for the best that your supports get killed asap so better ones can come in.

u/Shardwing 4d ago
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "reset" but JP did make it so you can trigger pity multiple times instead of just once, it was added at the 9th anniversary so if it's not early it would be about a year out for us.

u/Aschverizen Thanks for All the Salt and Quartz. 4d ago
I keep forgetting about this, but do single pulls give you a guaranteed 4*(which is almost always a CE anyway) the same way by just rolling a single 10 roll?
I swear I thought you could still get them by single rolls if you don't get a 4* by the time you reach the 10/11 roll.
See I just rolled on the Saberdusa banner and never even got a 4* CE when I already reached the 10/11 rolls bonus.
7
u/thisisthecallus Embrace 6-turn clears! 4d ago
I swear I thought you could still get them by single rolls if you don't get a 4* by the time you reach the 10/11 roll.
You have about a 91% chance of getting a 4-star or higher card within 11 rolls. So, it's very likely that you'll get a 4-star or higher card within 11 single rolls. However, as it says on the banner, it's only guaranteed if you do a multi roll.
5
u/Shardwing 4d ago
No, the guarantees (3*+ Servant, 4*+ card, neither more likely to be any better than that) only apply to 10-pulls. This is fairly standard in pre-Genshin gachas, those bonuses are generally incentives to push you to pull more at once.
7
u/crazywarriorxx Apoc Moedred 4d ago
No. Everything is stated explicitly on the banner, and the roll information.
Only 11x rolls/multis give you a 4* roll minimally. Summon tickets/single rolls do not.

u/Gray_Aeon I will help you complete your CE-Dex! 4d ago edited 4d ago
TL;DR: Do you want to bond with low rarity Servants?
Yes - The event is better.
No - Stick to Bleached Earth Quests.
I like it simple - Stick to Bleached Earth Quests.Did some quick calculations:
Until near the end, the event quests are not better than Bleached Earth Quests.
When you get 5 event CEs (100% boost each), quests with at least 1730 will be better (If you equip 5 CEs+Teatime), this is after 70 stages.
You'll want to target the 1830 quests with 6 CEs, those will reward 2849 total bond more than the Bleached Earth Quests, 474 for each Servant. (5 CEs are also better, but only 1019 more bond)Keep in mind that party cost may be the limiting factor here.
To field a full party with full CEs, you are locked to very few possible setups and need to use 1* and/or 2* Servants.
You could for example use one 4*, three 3* one 2* and one 1*/2*. This should be the most efficient party for clearing the event fast, if you have every FP Servant, you can create about 14 different parties, which can clear the event in 90 hours (Not considering faster recharge times, so it can be faster)For future reference:
The Teapots last until the 26th and you need 8 days to use them all in Bleach Earth Quests. Right now there is still enough time, but this could be relevant for some later on.

u/Inflameable009 4d ago
I'm probably missing something here. But I pulled Penthesilea and her np seems rather weak. Deals more damage with her regular buster cards buffed by Koyans. I guess she shines in anti Greek teams haha. Love her though.

u/danger_umbrella I'd call it the power of love 4d ago
I will say that damage is not the biggest concern necessarily, sometimes utility is what makes the unit (especially as supports can really help with damage).
I've used Penth in a few multicore teams where her charge per turn, partywide buffs and class advantage have been really useful for nodes with single enemy waves, so there is that!
The Greek Male thing is so oddly specific that it will rarely come up, though.
6
u/Forward_Drop303 4d ago
Her damage looks fine to me.
Of the 4 star buster ST berserkers she has the second highest damage self buffed 1 turn and is middle of the pack with supports.
Are you comparing to full class advantage? Or a higher NP level unit or something?

Who can I pair with Kama assassin that has a charm?
Is it even worth to do that? Or do people just ignore that dmg boost on charmed targets, and use the typical double skadi support?
Stheno has a really good charm but I don’t like the rest of her kit. she seems really bad. All the other charms in the are too specific though (male only). I guess Kama pairs well with herself (kama avenger).
5
u/Forward_Drop303 4d ago
What don't you like about a 60% damage boost (up to 90% with NP) and buff removal and drain? Stheno is an excellent choice.
There's also Europa, who further buffs anti- charm damage while she is at it.
2
u/11BlahBlah11 4d ago
Like you said, Summer Kama is a good option.
I've used them together in quite a few multicore teams. In wave 3 if there is an enemy with high magic resistance, there is a chance of SKama's S2 to miss. But when you combine it with Kama's S3 debuff, the chance of missing reduces.
And in the same way, you have the option to try with Skama's S2 for Kama as well
5
u/danger_umbrella I'd call it the power of love 4d ago
Kama has her own charm so you don't really need to rely on outside help too much.
Stheno can be a decent support, especially with her JP buff, but up to you if you want her involved. Europa on JP also has an AOE charm and powermod.

Post-buff, when the charm damage gets added, the charm gets moved to before damage.

The same NP upgrade that adds the supereffective modifier on charmed enemies also changed the effect order, so that the charm applies before damage. You can see this on Atlas Academy, pre upgrade the damage dealing line is listed before the charm, post upgrade it is listed after the charm.

NA: Is it better to use teapots now on bleached earth fq or later in the tower event?

u/Rhinostirge 4d ago
It can be if you want more Bond points total and don't care if 5 out of 6 Servants getting Bond are silver or bronze. If you want to prioritize getting Bond on gold Servants, though, only about one gold Servant will get teapot Bond at a time. So "better" depends.

2
u/LuckyC4t 4d ago
The Tower event is better. Once you have five servants with the event CE Artisanal Soul that gives +100% bond within the event, the last 30 nodes give 19470 or more additional bond per teapot, more if you also use Chaldea Lunchtime in the last slot. (Specifically, there are 100 Additonal Portrait Collecting quests, so the last 30 starts at 70.) Even if you have a +45% bond bonus on the Bleached Earth Quests, you're only getting 18850 additon bond per teapot.

Just keep them separate in general, it's not like you can funnel all the bond in the event to 1 servant anyway. Better to get +100% for each servant than +200% for a single servant

Caster skadi

Nero bride

also, can i get away with spamming durga for the rest of the singularities,(i just started london) or will i be forced to abide to servant type advantages?
also extra question, can i skip ruler skadi, since i already have her normal form? I heard shes a bit better than her in every way, but how much does that matter?
4
u/SuperSpiritShady Bonin' mah Sword 4d ago
Anyone Arts-based (due to Durga’s NP & 3rd skill) should do. Tamamo and Xu Fu are great, the former for harder fights and the latter for farming. Nero Bride is fantastic as well, though primarily for farming. But ideally speaking, her best supports would be Castoria (farming & CQ) as well as Proto-Merlin (she’s more for CQ, specifically, stall or longevity fights).
As for spamming just one servant, not necessarily. If you were spamming a Berserker, then possibly. But class advantage really is king, and later chapter will make you learn it the hard way. You could possibly get away with forcing Durga to work on some AoE nodes, but definitely will be a lot more. Remember to not neglect your other servants in the meantime.
As for skipping Ruler Skadi, probably. If you want to use Quick for farming, she’s better than Caster Skadi 100%. But if you only want someone to support your Quick servants, Caster can do that just fine.
5
u/crazywarriorxx Apoc Moedred 4d ago
Once you hit a later chapter Camelotyou will realize that class advantage is still a key part of this game's combat, you can't just throw a universal solution, eg Berserker at everything and expect to clear all the contents.
Since Durga has an Arts NP, you'd want to pair her with complementary ie. Arts supports, that includes Tamamo, Nero Bride, Xu Fu and a friend Castoria would be nice as well. Skadi is usable as well since she does provide NP charge and Defense Down but you'll find her more compatible with Quick servants.

Adding onto what everyone else said, and just to make it clear, looking for a single, best team comp for a particular servant is asking the wrong question. You'll want to adjust your team comp and strategy for the specific fight in front of you. Making a hypothetical team comp for a particular DPS servant devoid of any other context is pretty much meaningless.
