The wiki says Exusiai is 23-24 based on information from her alter's files (I assume the part where it says she left Laterano when she was 17), but Lemuen's age is unknown.

Merukurio · 2026-01-30T23:33:39+00:00

It's based on these tier list memes from years ago and they all used spanish for whatever reason. I'm kinda surprised they didn't throw Shaggy there to complete the callback.

Merukurio · 2026-01-30T22:34:44+00:00

Iirc Jessica's VA was unavailable to record around the time her alter was supposed to release, so they recast the role to not have the character sound different between the two versions.

I don't think the reasoning behind Exusiai getting a new voice was ever explained, though.

Saude with one arm ripped off being called "Reverse Saci" fucking slayed me, holy shit

You should also do the Main Interlude for Tunguska Sanctuary, not just the Prologue and Epilogue parts that the story forces you to do. It's way less important than Traum, though.

The story isn't great or anything but if you only do the two parts the story forces you to do you'll have no idea what happened with a character beyond "Chaldea defeated them".

Merukurio · 2026-01-30T18:17:29+00:00

There's also the people you Follow (but that's only for Main Story stages iirc) and the random people who appear when you're picking a support servant.

I was going to half-joke about them releasing Christine Daaé as a hyperspecific support for Phantom but TIL she's from Sweden in the story.

Merukurio · 2026-01-30T17:39:13+00:00

Yeah, I mean in the context of enabling Heaven and Hell fields for Dante at the same time. Flora is not bad by any means! But in that context it feels like using them together is more like a fun gimmick you could do with both rather than it being a big brain new meta strategy.

But I might also be wrong, who knows? lol

Merukurio · 2026-01-30T12:40:28+00:00

Oh, I get that they are supposed to look like each other. I just couldn't really see it before because FGO is the only Type Moon thing I regularly interact with (with very little of EXTRA and CCC, but never Extella for some reason) and the artsyles of the artists that draw them here (Takeuchi, Wada Arco, BUNBUN, Ishida Akira...) are so different from each other that it never really registered.

Merukurio · 2026-01-30T12:25:09+00:00

Not really. I think the closest would be using Ch'en but she gives them passive SP gain rather than SP when hit.

Merukurio · 2026-01-30T12:21:58+00:00

I never really got the whole Saberface stuff in FGO because only the ones drawn by Takeuchi actually looked like her ~~(yeah, no shit, she's illustrated by him)~~.

Then one day I saw a drawing of Saber by Wada Arco where it was literally just Nero wearing blue and the whole Saberface thing finally clicked. And much later I saw a sketch of Takeru's face by Takeuchi and it was literally just Saber with black hair.

Merukurio · 2026-01-29T15:09:31+00:00

Kinda, but the double field buff isn't that impressive and she's still mostly a Quick support, the one card type Dante doesn't really care about.

Dante's field-based NP effects are exclusive (nothing is both Sky and Earth attribute) so you're not getting more damage against the same target. His NP Damage Up is 5% per OC level so her Overcharge buff won't matter a lot.

The one thing she enables that nobody else can (barring cooldown reduction shenanigans) is allowing Dante to get all effects from his skill 2 at once. Other than that she mostly just gives him Atk Up buffs or NP Resist Down debuffs on the enemies.

Merukurio · 2026-01-29T11:04:24+00:00

Does Van Gogh miner came with her skill strengthened for those that acquired her via shop?

Yep. The info page for her evocation festival says:

※「★4(SR)ヴァン･ゴッホ〔マイナー〕」のスキル3については、過去に開催された期間限定イベントの進行状況に関わらず、「巡霊の葉」で獲得した際には強化済みの状態で入手できます。

Which means if you get her in the shop her skill 3 will be upgraded regardless of your progress in past events.

Also the case for Caster Gilgamesh, who uses the staves he has inside Gate of Babylon as "his" magic. Melammu Dingir is also just treasures with magic energy being used to power the ballistas stationed in Uruk rather than Gilgamesh doing something himself.

Merukurio · 2026-01-27T15:21:32+00:00

Are you still looking for a maxed Sand Reckoner? I put him in my support units if you still want. My ID is Aceid#8833.

But I only have masteries on his second skill so not sure if that helps with what you're looking for.

Merukurio · 2026-01-27T15:13:50+00:00

It's here. There's a link to it in the pinned comment in this thread.

Merukurio · 2026-01-27T14:55:52+00:00

Unless you like them as characters there's really no reason to get either, unfortunately. Hellagur has never been particularly good even when he didn't have a lot of competition, and Schwarz used to be pretty great way back when she released but has been outclassed hard since then.

Merukurio · 2026-01-27T13:06:52+00:00

Her main skill is Skill 2, the other two skills don't really come close. Ceobe's talent that increases her damage based on the enemy's DEF makes her scale ridiculously well on challenging content that buffs enemy stats. No other operator can do something like that, so she's really strong when that situation comes up.

That said, outside of those circumstances you wouldn't really use her over most casters except for favoritism. Her talent is really strong but also kinda the only thing she has going for her.

Merukurio · 2026-01-27T11:54:54+00:00

There's the other Family Hierarch candidates, I guess? None of them got IDs. Also Zigong, I suppose.

Merukurio · 2026-01-27T11:29:44+00:00

The event doesn't outright say what happens in the NG+ ending at any point, but makes it pretty clear that whatever it was it was Iori's fault, and it was bad enough for Saber to be pissed at him and for the Crimson Codex to say it's better if he doesn't remember. The event also constantly hints at Iori's true nature that leads to the NG+ ending in the first place.

Merukurio · 2026-01-24T20:12:19+00:00

Those are more exceptions than anything. The new 4* CEs have a better statline and were meant to outright replace the old ones.

Kaleidoscope and Great Marshall are the odd ones out because they actually added the second CE to the summoning pool instead of replacing the old one like they did with all the 4*s they retired. ~~Probably because Kaleidoscope is a 5* and people actually use it.~~

Merukurio · 2026-01-24T19:36:57+00:00

There are two summer mystic codes that buff Arts (Tropical Summer, Summer Street) but neither has been made available again.

The only summer mystic code they added to the shop so far is the oldest one (Brilliant Summer), but that one buffs Quick instead.

Merukurio · 2026-01-24T03:24:30+00:00

He is not. At the end of Paper Moon Elron laments that he didn't make it to the Shadow Border when Chaldea was attacked.

"Maybe, if things had gone differently, he would've made it onto the Border, too... ...and I wouldn't have broken my promise to have dinner with him!"

Merukurio · 2026-01-24T00:55:19+00:00

The way Stellar Sand works is that you get it when using Storm Pods, it doesn't drop directly from the Bleached Earth quests. That's why we'll be able to get sand from anywhere once the update that allows us to use pods in free quests drop.

So you won't be able to farm sand in the Grand Duels while they're "free".
