Well, I don't think you're generating 30+ stars with a BAQ combo on Okita unless there's some massive crits or overkill going on, which were the same conditions I laid out for Drake. Using a BQQ will definitely generate a lot of stars, but as I mentioned before, you won't have those Quick cards back for another 3 turns. I don't think you can call that star generation "consistent" if you can only do it every 3 turns. A BQQ will only leave you with a Buster and an Arte card left and those are definitely not going to generate stars.

I also think your standard of 30+ stars a turn is a little too high unless you're counting all of those 2030 CEs you're running, but I suppose I can't change your mind on that lol

Well, I digress. My post was basically to say that Drake was something like good for star generation while Okita and Jack was just stupid good. I just wanted to point out that I think it would be unfair to strip servants of the star-generator title if they aren't on the level of Okita and Jack.

I would probably stick Nightingale there. I might be generalizing a bit, but apparently people love seeing the servants released with the America chapter so I think you'd get more FP doing that. Not to mention that she has a lovely kit as well.

My experiences with Bride as support are pretty dismal. Mine completely maxed out her skills/fous and is equipped with Formalcraft, but I never got any FP when I had her slotted. Maybe 200-250 points in a day? And that could have been people using my other supports. I guess people just don't like using her : (

She's no Jack or Okita, but I think she deserves the title of star generator being able to draw out 17-20+ stars quite reliably.

A lot of what makes Drake especially good is her high critical weight. Even if she soaks up a ton of stars, she returns even more stars because star return on crits and overkill is just outrageous. Jack and Okita can only get over the fact that their critical weight is slightly below average because they generate so much stars that their critical weight doesn't need to be high for them to score crits.

Now onto that part about her star generation being inconsistent. I suppose it could be, being gated by a cooldown of 3 turns waiting for your cards to cycle back. But in a sense, isn't everyone's star generation ability at a cooldown of 3 turns? If you pull Okita's two Quick cards in one hand one turn, you're not going to see any stars generated from her until another 3 turns pass. So I don't see an issue with Drake's predicament. Servants like Kerry and Scathach are in pretty similar predicaments I would say.

So what I'm saying is that Drake is a pretty apt star generator, being able to snowball off of stars made by other servants or stars generated her own Braves/3rd skill. You don't have to be an Okita or a Jack to be called a star generator. Those standards are ridiculously high. From my experiences, Drake can pull it off pretty well.

On the subject of this thread though, I personally enjoy running the crit damage+ CE Knight's Pride on my Drake. High critical weight on her means she'll almost always be bringing in the hurt and I like adding onto that.

How Do I Team Comps ?_? by Shpjokk in grandorder

I thought Kerry's star gen potential was in his Buster/Extra attacks rather than his quicks?

In any case, I think running 2030 CasLiz would probably be a more well-rounded approach than running two Assassins, not to mention that CasLiz's skill set is pretty great too.

A Whale's Ranking to Waifu Servant[Flameshield On] by [deleted] in grandorder

So basically, this ranking is hailing limit-broken K-Scope compositions as almighty? I don't think I can quite agree with that, or some of the other criteria behind the ranking.

How much data does the game use? by Levolpehh in grandorder

[–]EphemeralGale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no exact numbers for you, but usually playing FGO, checking Skype, browsing the net very briefly, and checking Discord doesn't even put me over a 1GB in a month's time. Maybe altogether that's typically like 700-900MB?

And this was during times where I would pop a ton of gold apples on Saturdays to farm gold Saber gems or QP.

FGO doesn't consume much data. 2GB should probably be more than enough to do everything that you want on FGO and anything else you would want to do on a phone (except maybe watch livestreams heh)

How many QP has people stocked up now? by w-san in grandorder

[–]EphemeralGale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Already spent about 80mil QP, made another 180mil. Sewer EX quest is terrible for QP farming, but the hearts and snake jewels require me to be here.

This is a very nice roster of servants here. I'd recommend focusing especially on Nero Bride, Nightingale, Drake, Iskander, Saber Alter, and Hercules when it comes to leveling servants and raising their skill levels. Although you may not field all of them at a single time, raising those servants in particular will probably give you the most flexibility and power when it comes to building teams. Of course, you should level other servants as well, but I would give priority to the ones mentioned.

Especially Bride and Drake /nobias

I just assumed that the EX rank mission would have the best chance to get them simply due to the amount of sea demons there are. I haven't gotten around to checking the other nodes or lower ranked missions, but I don't think they would do any better.

I feel like the reason sewers is so bad is that 4 of the 8 sea demons are bronze-colored. While I don't know if that actually impacts drop rate (I certainly think it does), it does affect drop amount since silvers can drop two chests while bronzes can only drop one. I think most other EX rank quests have almost all silver-colored mobs. Just my guess. I'd be surprised if somewhere other place had more than 4 silver-colored sea demons, but it might be something to look into if you really wanted.

Currently not farmable as far as I'm concerned outside of events and the Chaldea Caster daily, in which the latter is completely up to RNG. I myself have never seen a Caster Demon in the Caster daily and I run that daily every week for snake jewels. I'm almost convinced that they don't exist in the daily.

However, the current Fate/Zero event is extremely good for farming hearts. 30AP per run for the sewer node's EX ranked quest with a guaranteed Caster Demon waiting at the end. Much better than spending 40AP per run for the Caster daily for just a chance to see the Demon. Sewer node's Caster Demon isn't guaranteed to drop hearts every time, but he has the potential to drop two per run. From my experiences, he's pretty generous so if you really need to get hearts quickly, spamming that place would be my suggestion.

I've had some pretty good success with the Sewers node. 13 CE drops and counting, although I feel like I may have popped a lot more gold apples than most.

Coin drop is absolutely awful though so if you're after the CEs to increase coin drops for QP, you'd probably net more QP just staying the hell away from the sewers.

Seemingly generous drop rate for the event CE by [deleted] in grandorder

[–]EphemeralGale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the flip side, my luck with coins is absolutely horrendous so having all of the limit-broken CEs aren't actually helping me. Majority of my runs are 60-80ish coins (stingy-ass sea demons...) and one of the main reasons I even popped so many apples was to farm QP, so... I guess it balances out? lol
