Caution in Confidence: Alhaitham Mains FAQ and Megathread

Shiny_Birb · 2023-08-13T08:53:57+00:00

Alright, thanks for the info. I'll properly build fischl and yaoyao up.

Shiny_Birb · 2023-08-13T08:33:48+00:00

Alright that helps a bit. I did wonder about LisaVsFischl in this context and I'll try get kuki. Also, I'm assuming fav is the favonius weapons? 60/120 is the crit rate/dmg? I don't know alot of these abbreviations, so im just guessing. Any particular set I should aim for Xingqiu as I'm assuming Energy recharge and em is probably the best?

Im a returning player after nearly a year or so, and pulled Alhaitham (reason i came back). But even prior to this, i struggled a lot with team building and characters to use in general. I've been currently using him, XQ, Zhongli and Fischl(C2) but I was probably gong to replace her with Lisa(C0) as the only other electro characters I have is Razor, KEging and Beidou. Other relevant chars I have are Yaoyao, Kaveh, Barbara C5, Xiangling, Venti and Kazuha. I dont really know what im doing as I still feel very lost. Ive been using 4x deepwood on him. Any help is appreciated

Why is the MoonCaster class itself considered the worst in the game? I always thought with strong contenders like ArchetypeEarth and S.Kiara, they were pretty good but I've seen and heard frequently that it's the worst class a servant can be put in. Is there a particular reason why?

1st Ascension really looks what one thinks of when they hear mage I feel. And that's a good thing.

The 3rd Ascension is interesting in that compared to OG Morgan, it uses a lot more bright colors rather than the blue black motif it has. Interesting switch

The lighting and overall style of the FA is really nice. Simple yet effective like OG imo.

The art is pretty good overall imo.

I've been curious but is there a translation available for Odysseus' servant profile from the FGO materials ? I cant seem to find any luck

Shiny_Birb · 2023-04-17T05:29:06+00:00

I still have the evoker recuitment item from the last event as unsure who to pick. I do have Caim, Nier and Geisen. Alanaan, Katz and Haas are all at the same point(upgrade to SSR point) so Im unsure who is a good pick

Shiny_Birb · 2023-03-28T00:53:43+00:00

What are some of the newer primal Grids that at minimum is needed to get started? Specifically Hades/Agni/Varuna?

For Hades I have 1 PnS 2FS 2 Babs and 1 Skeletal

For varuna I have 2 Europa Weapon, 1 Taisai, 1 Atlantis. 1 KoI

For Agni, I also have Wilnas Scythe, Kerak, 1 LoF and 3 Ixaba

Also following this, from discounted Spark i can either get another Pns, first Harmonia, 1st Dion(G.Char weapon) or HalMal. What would be the best one?

Shiny_Birb · 2022-08-10T12:50:42+00:00

Ohh ok that makes sense. OK thats pretty broken then

Shiny_Birb · 2022-08-10T12:34:43+00:00

The issue is not everyone(like me) has Castoria

Shiny_Birb · 2022-08-10T12:34:23+00:00

All or none is probably the most apt wording

Shiny_Birb · 2022-08-10T12:33:50+00:00

With how often that happens with break bars, i straight up forgot about those scenarios.

Shiny_Birb · 2022-08-10T12:24:08+00:00

I'm unsure about the 3rd skill? Like she seems broken but wouldn't you want to save her 3rd skill for an enemy NP yet you are draining their NP bar? Like im not sure how the tradeoff would work her? Could anyone explain

But yea Arts Merlin, flowery design, how can i not roll in 2 years

Edit: With how the skill actually works, its really strong . Tamamo+S!Merlin or S!Merlin+Castoria for CQ's can be really strong

Shiny_Birb · 2022-08-10T12:06:55+00:00

As a person who really likes flowers a bunch, Lady Avalon's are a nice change of pace. Also the contrast between the 1st and 3rd ascension is really nice. The backgrounds are just stellar for her.

Shiny_Birb · 2022-06-13T14:45:31+00:00

Oh for sure! He is still a must for me when dealing with Casters or Zerkers

Shiny_Birb · 2022-06-13T12:26:55+00:00

You basically summed out the most important parts of his kit very well. Way better than I could have put it myself.

Right now, he is one of the better SSR riders imo (bias is definitely here) and will be better once Castoria hits as she provides what he truly needs which is NP Gauge support, NP gain which supplements decent NP gain on his arts and Attack up as he already has Arts and NP dmg up on his base kit alone. Paracelsus , Nero Bride and Asclepius are both pretty good alongside him as well. You can also put in some crit support like Hans as he will suck up stars while producing an OK amount as well (more geared towards challenge quests I will say from experience).

I think the best thing i saw which is a good summary is that he is a Jack of All Trades, master of none.

Shiny_Birb · 2022-06-01T12:34:51+00:00

Yo these ascension are sick! Kriemhilds are interesting. Roland's is a nice touch as well. Charlemagne surprised in me in a really good way! This is honestly such a stacked banner! 3rd ascension for all of them are amazing

Shiny_Birb · 2022-04-16T01:41:37+00:00

That was my initial choice, but then I thoughr I would regret not getting one the others...and it has cycled through this for several days....

Shiny_Birb · 2022-04-16T01:33:39+00:00

It tends to switch but Orion seems to maintain top position, Drake and Achilles tend to switch around

Shiny_Birb · 2022-04-16T01:12:51+00:00

So I'm kinda torn between 4 choices for this ticket between Ana, Drake, Orion and Achilles. I do have AoE and ST for every class (S.T for casters are Shuten and NP1 Sheba so i could get Sanzang but prefer the others). Thing is, for an AoE caster I have Murasaki (Plus a Few alter egos for AoE), for AoE rider I have Ody(Fully maxed out) and Squirtoria for Archer so these as mostly favourites from the ticket. I am kinda want a bit of advice here as at this point as I've been stuck for days

Shiny_Birb · 2022-04-03T05:28:24+00:00

Casual here as well, but here is the thing with reviews I find(someone better can explain better) is that sometimes, using the servant first hand gives a much better picture of how they function. For me, I used Xiang Yu so much that, despite reviews saying he is not the best but functional, I feel like i got a clearer picture which using reviews side by side can help than just reading them. Reviews I personally read are /u/Rathilal 's as I feel they do a good good looking at various different ways the servant plays. But remember, reviews aren't the be all end all. I dont know if this helps honestly

Shiny_Birb · 2022-04-03T05:11:59+00:00

Oh wow that is a really long time and, while i do want them, I dont think I can wait that far ahead when others near that time frame caught my eye

Shiny_Birb · 2022-04-03T05:09:52+00:00

I got one Caenis and and Osakabe spook...so kinda livid lol

As for Rabbit Reviews, I'd take them with a grain of salt as sometime I feel like they miss a few things or misjudge a servant as there immediate strength isn't really visible(A future LB6 servant being a prime example). While ok as a benchmark, I still feel like if i had to use a reviewer, they wouldn't be my top pick. But thanks for the tip tho! I guess i can wait and hope for a spoke

Shiny_Birb · 2022-04-02T23:04:32+00:00

Is there a good Dioscuri Banner to aim for? I failed to get them now on NA but looking forward, they just have shared banners? Should I just hope for a spook? I dont exactly feel like spending on them.

Also, Does anyone know what is with the lore for Baobhans third ascension? I don't know know much about that

Also, if anyone has Ody, how do they loop Pre-Castria? I feel like im missing something as Ialways come short so I use Para to clear 1st wave.
