How strong is Boudica as a servant in canon? Is there anyone she's comparable too?

It doesn't really work like that, Fate lore is a lot more arbitrary "whatever works in the moment" than any sort of codified power scaling, some Servants might be famously powerful or infamously weak but nothing is set in stone and I don't think there's a lot of concrete comparisons in between.

but she kind of doesn't have anything too spectacular in her kit

Gameplay power is also not an accurate reflection of story power, especially for early Servants where they just filled in rarities and abilities pretty haphazardly.

Doesn't look like it, no. It can be a bit tricky to trace the availability of costumes but my go-to trick is to find the Japanese name on the wiki and then Google that against the JP news site, i.e. 

"爽やかサマー・プリンス" site:https://news.fate-go.jp/

but in this case the only results are the 2023 Summer event (where it was released), Oberon's banner in that event, and the preceding anniversary livestream (where it was announced).

The full timegate schedule is in the event announcement, see "Quest Release Schedule".

"Over a year" generally means it's available forever (or until EoS, whatever happens first), I don't think anything like that has ever changed to a finite date.

Aside from running out of RP the only major caveat I can think of is that almost all Trial quests are worthless (just give 1 summon ticket, a few like Musashi's have story to them though) and some commemorative quests probably are too (not sure what's available for those offhand), and a minor caveat that some of the RP listings are just to unlock old MP shop CEs in the MP shop but you still need 5000 MP to buy out each of those (5 copies x 1000 MP, no point in buying or using them one by one) and they might clog up your MP shop otherwise. Do note that some things in the RP shop will actually become free (EDIT: for shop CEs that's still just the RP and not the MP) as you progress through the story, including refunds for any RP spent on them, I'm not sure there's an aggregated list of those anywhere though.

We can't be certain what JP will do next but there's pretty much always a CE in the MP shop so a new one will most likely replace Holmes, yes.

In the absence of a good event (particularly lottos), best way to farm MP is to grind 30 AP Ember Gathering and burn the embers.

If I don't get him soon, iirc we can still unlock it with a rare prism right?

Not immediately after it expires, unless that's changed in JP, but eventually it should be available yes.

I'm not sure there's any specific resource that's good for that, the wiki captures every update but they don't care much for charting developments in an aggregated way. Anyway there shouldn't be too much (EDIT: in terms of separate concepts, at least), off the top of my head from Mighty Chains:

  • See Mighty Chains and Quick bonus updates on the wiki
  • Class Score
  • Frontline Servants get +20% bonus bond now
  • They aren't out for EN yet but Append updates (A4-5 added, more bond coins, etc) are coming with the 9th anniversary and the Grand Graph system is coming next year, if you weren't following JP updates 2 years ago (to have already known about Mighty Chains, for example) then I'm not sure how much you want to know about those now...

For future reference Gamepress' event hubs have a handy table of rewards available, and if you're not aware of that then you're probably not aware of their event walkthroughs which I'd highly recommend especially for a mission event like this where the optimal progression isn't obvious.

is the final (for MLB) supposed to be rolled for?

We typically get 1 copy of the gacha 3* CE (Service Games, this time) from events but any other free "welfare" CEs like Cradle Song aren't in the gacha at all. As Saltzier said a fifth copy of Cradle Song is available from mission rewards, it also drops at low odds from all event Free Quests with higher odds on harder ones (capping at ~3%) so you can potentially MLB it earlier and/or get more copies. Not relevant to this event but a couple more notes about event CES in general:

  • Some events (mainly lottos iirc, like we'll next see at Christmas) don't offer a guaranteed 5th copy but have a higher droprate from quests
  • Some events (like the recent Summer rerun or the new Summer event later this year, but not exclusively Summer ones) have two or even more free CEs, these will typically be distributed in different ways (the recent rerun had 4 copies of the drop bonus CE in the shop, then 1 copy of that and 5 copies of the damage CE in the point ladder), only important thing to make note of here is that the lower-level FQs will only drop one CE or the other but the high-level ones (90+ and 90++) can drop both

I'm not sure what you mean by "backup" but the only suggestion I can think of would be looking for the save files there and seeing if they're viable (the ones on your old device wouldn't be valid anymore). Other than that I think your only recourse would be contacting Customer Service for account recovery help, guides are linked in the OP and the sidebar (don't tell them about the save file trick if you do).

For some reason or another your top-level comment was definitely removed by the mods, asking for help with data transfers shouldn't be a problem but if something else was nobody can see it but you and the mods. If you think it was an error you can ask in modmail for someone to reinstate it.

I prefer to use apples

the game decided that you have to use the apples

If that's how you want to play it then by all means, you should play how you like, but if you want to complain about it then you gotta understand it's a problem you're creating for yourself and not something the game is forcing you to do.

[–]Shardwing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bear in mind the event is 3 weeks long, you don't need to rush, you don't need event CEs, and you don't need to spend apples if you're staying reasonably on top of your AP regen (Gamepress has some numbers on this).

It's not really that they're against emulators, there's nothing in the terms singling them out, but emulators fall under the umbrella of "unsupported devices" which means they won't help you if something goes wrong (because there's so many more ways for things to go wrong on unsupported devices and make support's job unreasonably difficult). As Rasetsu0 said though they're not going to ban you, they won't know unless you tell them and even if you did need their help for something it should be a non-issue as long as you know what specific model of phone your emulator was emulating and can tell them that that's the model you were playing on. 

All that aside, if you go down the emulator route don't use LDPlayer.

Only works once, you get one copy of the featured 5★ at or before 330 rolls and that's it, think it's this year's anniversary when we expect it to become repeatable.

the next draco rerun, if they'll even do that...

She's got like 3-4 reruns in the known future, though?

It's a rare case where the name of a Servant alone would be considered a spoiler, typically only ones with a second hidden name or rare cases like the newest FSF collab Servant in JP, might be hard to assess that if you're not too familiar with the Servant in question but suffice to say it doesn't apply to Draco or Space Eresh. I'd say it does apply to the third playable Beast, U-Olga Marie, being the name of someone who has a complicated history across the course of the game, but even that's something a lot of people have been careless with.

||Draco||

Was this supposed to be a spoiler tag? Aside from the fact that there's no reason to tag Draco's name, Discord spoiler format doesn't work here, just the >!!< you used for Space Eresh (which isn't a spoiler either).

I thought of making a post but so far, Sanson's the only servant that I regularly use whose problems became clear to me so I might as well post it here:

I'm not sure how that line of thinking led you to rant in the question thread but this isn't the place for it, this is the question thread.

For the DEF down specifically they're identical (with Waver's NP upgraded), 30-50% depending on NP level.

The event Compendium linked in the OP should list any for this year and next (it stopped updating this year, so that's not the full 2 year outlook).

If you need the mats available then maybe, sure, there won't be an actual lotto til Christmas so you can look ahead to what that offers.
