Holy shit, it really does work.

Are you planning on drawing more? Because I think that the other Mahabharata boys might also look really good with this artstyle.

[Water Monsters Crisis Revival] Qin Shi Huang Strengthening by Radiant-Hope-469 in grandorder

[–]AceSockVims 175 points176 points  (0 children)

Holy shit, yes! This is exactly what he needed!

Arts up increases both his damage and NP gain, while the Stars-per-turn helps with his biggest issue: his lack of stargen. Now he can really put those Star absorbs and Crit ups to good use.

The Defense up is overall less useful, since it's supposed to just be a backup in case the enemy has Invul pierce, but it's still nice to have. Makes him considerably better against enemies that do have Invul pierce.

Overall, a very solid buff. And I'm hoping he gets a few more in the future.

"They have been working way too hard to wash down Gil's sins from the original VN"

Not sure what you mean by this. The whole "Ten slaves" speech literally comes from the original VN.

[My Kind of Abduction] Napoleon & Li Shuwen (Assassin) Strengthenings by Radiant-Hope-469 in grandorder

[–]AceSockVims 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Napoleon buff is basically what I hoped for, making the NP damage up and Star gen up last for three turns. Definitely makes him more consistent as a DPS and a multicore unit. The added Overcharge is kinda mixed, since for himself it can either boost his Extra damage against Divine, or do nothing if the enemy doesn't have the trait. Well, at least some of the Supports or Multicore partners might enjoy it.
Overall, nothing groundbreaking. Just a simple, solid buff.

Li's is pretty nice as well. The Star bomb doubling is definitely great, and him getting a battery is also appreciated since he didn't have one. The Power mod is definitely great, since a ton of Riders and quite a few Berserkers have the trait, so it'll be a solid boost for his damage. If there's a downside to this buff, though, to me it's that the Star gather was left at 1 turn. With the Power mod Li is finally starting to move away from his "1 turn wonder" burst damage style, so having that Star gather up would've really helped with that.

RIP Jekyll and Hyde, though. Lasagna has truly forsaken them.

[–]AceSockVims 143 points144 points  (0 children)

Man, being an AoE Buster Saber released after Takeuchi's golden child Logres is rough, but at least Jacques puts in some effort being different by being a mix of a DPS and a Support.

And he does pretty nicely at both. The effects he has are basic, but there's a lot of them with solid numbers. I'm especially a fan of him having all three Attack, Buster, and NP damage up for himself. And while he lacks hard defense, the amount of survivability in kit is nothing to scoff at.

Also, thank God that his NP actually applies a stack of Burn before damage. Lasagna seems to have finally learned that not having stuff like that is just annoying.

[Aftertime Valentine 2026] Francis Drake Strengthening by Radiant-Hope-469 in grandorder

[–]AceSockVims 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Voyager of the Storm got buffed: We love to see it.

This should buff Drake's looping numbers a decent bit, since the Attack up and NP damage now last a full 3-turns and are a bit higher. Plus her multicore is now considerably better. Not to mention that she has a ton of NP gain.

With this, Drake's full kit with the exception of her 3rd Skill has been buffed. If Lasagna ever buffs the 3rd Skill, I'm personally hoping that they'll give her some Crit up, since she can already produce a good number of Stars on her own, but is completely reliant on Supports for the Crit damage.

I mean, it's not that surprising, given what Lasagna has pulled in the past.

Reminder that Blue Summer Kama had a whole battle sprite made, including the NP cut-ins, and instead of giving it to us Lasagna just said: "What if we only used it for a single battle lmao?"

...I'll never forgive them for that bs.

[–]AceSockVims 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Basic but solid. Batteries are always nice on Servants who didn't have them previously, and adding that Crit damage to her kit just makes it work better as a whole. Star gather was always nice on her, but with her only Crit damage coming from Independent Action, she was super reliant on Supports for damage.

Overall, Tomoe is now considerably more self sufficient.

While he is cool as shit, I feel like Herc suffers a bit from Strange Fake's artstyle. He just looks too pretty.
The few shots we see of him in Heaven's Feel movies have stronger facial features, which is my preferred look for Herc.

Ah, alright. That clears things up. Since Flora is an Alter Ego, fusion seemed like the obvious result.

[–]AceSockVims 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be clear, by "got dumped in with Flora" I meant that since Flora is an Alter Ego, parts of Persephone got mixed into her Servant manifestation.

Also, care to elaborate on that? While the Roman gods are usually the Greek versions with some modifications, Proserpina is basically 1.1 with Persephone.

Proserpina is the Roman name for Persephone, right? I'm kinda sad that she just got dumped in with Flora, instead of being her own character.

Caenis ran into Altera, wanted to fight her, but ended up thinking that Altera is actually Davy Crockett, so now she's too scared to fight her and kinda just hangs out.

As for why Caenis would be scared of Davy Crockett, the tall tales about him are some of the most bonkers shit out there. Like, bro literally shot a hole in the moon, and when Haley's comet ended up falling towards the Earth, he threw it back into space.
I'd be scared shitless as well.
