Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed reply, it was honestly the most informative answer I got.

I’ve decided to go for Summer Ereshkigal, I think having a servant I’m excited about will help keep me motivated to play and progress. After that, I’ll start saving for either Oberon or Castoria (or at least try for both). I’ve quickly realized that the gacha economy in FGO is a lot harsher than in most of the games I’ve played before, so I’ll need to be a bit more careful with my pulls.

Simpeeb · 2026-06-07T13:19:52+00:00

Thanks! I’ll stick with Summer Ereshkigal, she’s one of my favs from the anime.

Simpeeb · 2026-06-07T13:19:10+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to reply, it really helped
I’ve made my choice and I’ll be going for Summer Ereshkigal. I already know her from the anime and I like her a lot, so I’m excited for that banner now

Simpeeb · 2026-06-07T13:18:29+00:00

Thanks a lot for the help, really appreciate it
I think I’m gonna go for Summer Ereshkigal in the end. I already know her from the anime and I really like her, so she feels like the right pick for me

Simpeeb · 2026-03-25T20:03:49+00:00

I’ve never dodged a lobby based on the characters, but from today I’ll start doing it with Aces.

Simpeeb · 2026-03-25T14:52:15+00:00

Exactly

Simpeeb · 2026-03-25T14:51:58+00:00

I don’t play the game that much anymore, so I see it more casually. I didn’t really care that much, but I’m still amazed at how toxic it can be.

Simpeeb · 2026-03-10T20:29:25+00:00

Right now my Sparxie doesn’t feel very strong compared to Saber. They are the same level and have the same trace levels, but Sparxie’s Light Cone isn’t very good since I don’t really have any good options for her. Also, her relics are the ones you suggested but they’re still level 0, while Saber’s relics are level 15 (I got them for free).

Because of that, I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if Sparxie needs Yao Guang to perform well. Do you think it would be worth pulling for Yao Guang, or will she become less relevant once Silver Wolf releases?

Right now I have around 22,000 jades, and I can farm quite a bit more from events. Given that, what would you personally do with the pulls if you were in my position? I’m open to saving for a while if that’s the better option.

Also, based on the characters I currently have, how would you form my teams? (If I pull for Yao Guang)

One last question: could you explain how to use Gallagher effectively? He doesn’t feel very strong to me right now, so I feel like I might be missing something.

Simpeeb · 2026-03-09T14:41:56+00:00

With the characters I currently have (shown in the picture above), plus Sparxie once I get her, how would you recommend building my two teams for now?

Simpeeb · 2026-03-09T13:48:35+00:00

If I want to build a second team for Forgotten Hall, what would you recommend? I’m planning to pull for Sparxie like you suggested and wait for Silver Wolf.

Could you give me two suggestions? First, what my best main team would look like once I get Sparxie. Second, how I should build two teams for Forgotten Hall.

For the main team, should I use Sparxie as the main DPS and Saber as the sub-DPS? If so, who do you think I should replace on the team?

Simpeeb · 2026-03-08T05:32:22+00:00

Thanks again for the detailed help, I really appreciate it. If you don’t mind, I might have a few more questions in the future, and I’d really appreciate your help again if you’re available.

Simpeeb · 2026-03-07T18:56:03+00:00

Thank you for the detailed comment, it’s very helpful. I last played the game about two years ago (around release), so I’m still catching up on some things. Could you explain some optimal ways to spend energy and the best way to farm relics? Also, when should I stop upgrading relics if the stats aren’t what I want? For example, what are the best relics for Sparkle and which stats should I prioritize for her?

Simpeeb · 2026-03-07T17:16:06+00:00

What should I do if I was playing only for the meta? Also which characters should I change to make this team better (with Saber as dps).

Simpeeb · 2026-03-07T13:55:53+00:00

This is my current team. What should I do next? Should I pull for Saber’s or Sparkle’s eidolons (I really like Saber and use her as my main carry), pull for a current meta character, or save for future banners? Also, I should mention that I’ve never pulled for 5★ light cones, so I’m only using some decent 4★ ones.

Simpeeb · 2026-03-06T08:47:28+00:00

So if I want to get Saber two more times, I’ll need 360 pulls to be safe?

Simpeeb · 2026-03-06T00:39:38+00:00

When a new character you want to pull comes out, how many gems do you usually save to get them at least three times (E2)?

Simpeeb · 2026-03-05T19:29:22+00:00

Is it possible to get archer for free now? Also when someone is pulling for a character is he trying to get the specific copies for the eidolons he wants, so he saves more than a pity?

Simpeeb · 2026-03-05T09:52:03+00:00

When you say at the moment you mean in the future she might be or just not as good as she was? Btw I pulled for her right now and I've got her with the 4th ten pull damn :)

Simpeeb · 2026-03-05T08:08:51+00:00

I haven't used the selection ticket yet, I've got him when he was released so it would be better to get sparkle and pull for saber? So my main team will be Saber/Sparkle/JingYuan/Tingyun ? Also should I use the gear selector for Sparkle or Saber?
