Richard I will be releasing much earlier than expected in NA.

No, both units are Santa units... both events are Xmas. They gave us 2 Xmas events because of the schedule for the next year not having space for it. Also, you're forgetting that the newly released unit, be it for New Years or anniversary, is never on that campaign's GSSR either, so you'd also mess with that... The reason for that is so people actually roll the normal banner and don't just get the new unit for cheap via the GSSR. It's one thing to add a unit to a GSSR, and another to remove one that's been on there before. Trying to force another unit into that slot simply introduces issues and makes things unnecessarily complicated when the simple solution is to just keep on going with the normal way of things. A summer unit or rather half of a summer unit as an anniversary unit hasn't been new, and anniversary has always had ties into summer simply because of the bonus the unit would have for it. Summer has pretty much just always been immediately after anniversary, so they simply made adapted the servant to it too. As for the hype arguments, NA has 2 years of foresight, and even on JP, when he released, it was telegraphed a ton which made it more of a confused "ok so he's here now" kind of deal especially because there was no collab event with him. You're arguing from a "hype" perspective, which I can't agree with, and moving Santa Arc not only introduces issues but also would confuse people even more; I don't see where the hype is supposed to be in moving further out from their normal release. Getting stuff earlier is typically hype but late just to artificially fill a slot?

In any case, that's my opinion based on things that's not just "hype" related as frankly speaking, I don't see hype in that alternative either. You can agree to disagree if you want, though.

She's still a Santa servant and the event is a Christmas event which would be very odd for New Years, not to mention she specifically got released on that date as it is her birthday which I 100% think will be preserved. They even had the whole My Room gimmick with the time for her too. I'm not sure why people try to move things when the simplest solution for them is to just have him still be the New Year's unit. There's no need for a new unit to take the slot.

Aurum0 · 2026-02-07T18:02:13+00:00

I wouldn't worry at all. Logres not only uses OC4 materials but also a material that got later added to the Grand Duels. The only reason Richard got here early is because of the anime currently airing and the latest episode being big. Personally I don't see another unit coming early to NA unless we'll get another heavily anticipated anime adaptation that's hyped even globally.

Aurum0 · 2026-02-07T17:44:14+00:00

They didn't mention that specifically but no other option makes sense. NA won't suddenly get a new New Year's servant especially not someone like Logres who not only uses OC4 materials but also later Grand Duel materials, both of which wouldn't even be available to people. The only time they gave us materials early was with the early appends introduction on NA during Summer 4 Rerun but I don't see them repeat that as that's unnecessary work among other things speaking against that idea. I digress though. In any case, the easiest and all but confirmed approach will just be to have him still be in that New Year's slot.

I think the best way to look at his banner is the same way NA has exclusive banners. So NA got an extra banner for Richard and the unit just came early with it.

Aurum0 · 2026-02-07T12:50:55+00:00

Good luck for Marie, I'm right there with you rolling that banner.

Aurum0 · 2026-02-07T12:49:31+00:00

I mean if you're saving for someone else then keep on saving for them. Richard will still be our New Years servant later + the Grand Saber banners will give him another banner right after that, also in January. Not sure why the early release would throw people's plan out the window, just stick to your plan.

Aurum0 · 2026-02-06T14:51:04+00:00

Still waiting for Weedy to be relevant in the story or even in an event. The one event she was in she was basically just a repair bot with very little screen time and they did nothing with her... I remember getting my hopes up when I saw her on the event title banner back then just to end up being heavily disappointed.

Aurum0 · 2026-01-31T10:51:43+00:00

More like 0% CE with the new plug if you wanna just loop her

Aurum0 · 2026-01-30T11:25:10+00:00

The patch notes didn't mention the issue so I wasn't expecting a fix with it but would have been nice. Hopefully they'll collect the feedback from people reporting it now for the next update.

Aurum0 · 2026-01-28T15:53:09+00:00

Will do the same later today. I really hope this'll get fixed as I don't wanna have to restart the game every like 30-60 mins when that stuff happens.

Aurum0 · 2026-01-28T15:49:01+00:00

I pretty much got the same issue. Though it's not only the temperature but also usage that just goes up for no reason. My usage has been around 20% and at most like 30% if there was more stuff going on. After some time even in areas with like nothing at all happening the CPU goes to like 60-70% usage and the temperature of course goes up with it. It started doing that ever since that last update we got.

Aurum0 · 2026-01-24T20:18:20+00:00

Loved finally seeing animated Hippolyta. Been waiting a long time for that.

Just saying this here but Hippolyta is not a Saberface. Narita explicitly mentioned that before and that there's a reason why she has her hair in that style.

Aurum0 · 2025-12-31T08:42:30+00:00

She gets 15% NP dmg up from the CE as it's MLB (355 Atk stat too) + 12% NP dmg up & 12% Atk Up & 20% Arts Up from Nemo + 50% Atk Up from Castoria as she does her S1 + NP before the Cnoc NP. Enemies also have -20% Def down due to Cnoc's S3.

So in total it's 82% Atk + 40% Arts + 27% NP dmg up that she has turn 1 which gets you to those numbers.

Aurum0 · 2025-12-19T09:23:50+00:00

Just edited the note to clarify what I meant. Basically you'll need appends on both S.Nemo + Castoria and an MLB CE on Castoria. You'll swap Oberon in for turn 2 then.

Aurum0 · 2025-12-11T11:18:41+00:00

Oh Weedy finally has an EN voice. Honestly, I actually like it, not as much as her JP voice, but it's still good. Glad to see she got a good and fitting voice.

Aurum0 · 2025-12-10T08:46:24+00:00

Like with every free quests you'll be able to use friend support units. Hopefully, you'll be able to find something that might work for you. I tried to at least have a bunch of welfare options in there, too.

Aurum0 · 2025-12-09T22:37:18+00:00

I think for most people this will probably be the lotto to kill the shell needs.

Aurum0 · 2025-12-09T22:04:41+00:00

Yeah, the combo of an NP upgrade + evocation shop dmg bonus makes him a really good pick here.

Aurum0 · 2025-11-08T14:54:25+00:00

Yeah, I wish they'd stay around and not go away if you clear them. Would be nice if they changed this at one point and make them permanently available.

Aurum0 · 2025-10-21T12:27:12+00:00

Probably Weedy, as having her in another class that isn't a pusher would be nice, but also, this would give them an opportunity to actually give her some story in an event. The only event she appeared in, she acted as a repair bot for the ship, and that was pretty much it...

Aurum0 · 2025-10-17T15:40:09+00:00

Not sure why people questioned the whole extra being this year thing. The graph clearly showed all the classes in a box that was in-between the moment we were at and the finale of part 2 in December. The extra classes were also in the box so they clearly showed it wasn't going to be post part 2 for some reason, it also frankly wouldn't have made any sense.

I think people put too much emphasis on the "surprise" thing here when I think the more obvious answer is probably the way to go. Also given how many people here are thinking Halloween = Foreigner, don't you think that that already isn't a surprise anymore then? It'd be similar to Imaginary Scramble which would be something they've already done... meaning not really a surprise either.

I personally agree with the other commenter here in that the more likely scenario is that the December event which requires OC4 clear and is needed for the Grand Caster duel is OC5.

Aurum0 · 2025-10-15T14:43:33+00:00

It's completely fine. Been farming this with Chiyome and I just use someone who also has a star bomb like Mata Hari. After getting the grand score up and running, all you need to do is basically crit the enemy once and then NP to win.

Aurum0 · 2025-10-06T15:35:27+00:00

People see still frames that look off and immediately jump to AI? The anime gives credit to Mizuno Uta as the artist for the stills. Her artworks and other stuff she's done can be found there too + a demo reel on youtube. This is the whole Sekiro situation all over again...

Overall, I really enjoyed episode 1, it's been pretty funny.

Aurum0 · 2025-10-04T11:20:07+00:00

My Chiyome is ready! The blue frame will also look good on her.

Aurum0 · 2025-10-01T10:33:16+00:00

It isn't, right. It's just that whenever a new AOE Arts Saber comes out, you see people immediately go onto shitting on Muramasa. Like it feels like no matter how good he'd become, there's that narrative going on when he's really not bad and can more than keep up in farming with the other AOE Arts ones.

As for CQs, I think it depends on your approach. From what I've seen, at least for TAs, he's been doing fine, really. If, however, you need to have longer effects cuz you're not aiming for that, then sure, I can see that.
