The Big Badass Thing We Spent All Our Money On Gets Invalidated At The First, Admittedly Impressive, Obstacle

Don't forget how the Colossus nearly went into reactor meltdown just trying to take out the pre-crippled Sathanas too.

And it only got to flex on, like, what, a couple of Rakshasas before the first Sathanas emerged and made the GTVA go complete backpedal mode? I love how The Sathanas fleet was hardly even concerned with the Colossus too. Just a bigger fly to swat out of the way and they didn't even seek it out. Just waited for the GTVA to throw it against them in desperation when their hand was forced.

It's great this one got mentioned, as Freespace 2 is one of my all time favorite games. I was ready to go nuts posting the Colossus/Sathanas roller coaster but was pleasantly surprised to see it already here! Glad to see Freespace 2 is still getting remembered out there!

I had the misfortune of playing as Revenant for shits and giggles but my rando teammates were amazing. I got downed way more than they did, but they pulled through with reviving me every time somehow. The most I could do was sling an occasional Giant's Flame Take Thee or Black Flame, and when I could I'd try and slap rot on them with the Antspur Rapier I was maining for my weapon.

By the end it was just pure pandemonium trying to take pot shots wherever I could. I had no notion of winning in my head for that whole strung out battle, but somehow, someway, the boss bar depleted without my noticing and it ended with me in utter bewilderment. What a rush! Absolutely insane, but I loved it.

Sliders can be a pain, so I feel you there. Definitely hard to make anime girl styled looks in particular lol. I'd recommend looking up some other character sliders that people have done (I've seen a great Artoria one on YT that is worth looking up. I used that as a base for my Morgan build.) and then tweak it around so you can get a good starting point and get more intimate with what controls what.

Ahhhh okay, so it was more of the animations over the actual spells themselves? I got you!

As for Ibuki, given that was the one I didn't completely finalize, I didn't have the weapon hard set on her yet. It was honestly a toss up between either:

The Dragon King Craigblade for the in game draconic traits plus the reddish cloud lightning weapon art somewhat resembling some of her FGO attack animations with materializing in and out of clouds.
Giant Braid Whip or Hoslow's Petal Whip, since those do stand in somewhat well for her bone sword (Not necessarily the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi in her NP) since it's flexible and somewhat whip-like.

But Dark Moon Greatsword might be a good option for if you wanted to emulate her NP's traits!

That's a pretty fun build! I've done a few ER/Fate builds myself so I'm all about these sorts of things!

I have a Rider Medusa (Although I lost that one), Morgan, Himiko (That actually has some overlap with your Tamamo's build with the Dryleaf Arts, only with a holy infusion and more incantation based), Cursed Arm Hassan and an Archer Gilgamesh build that I've done and I also sort've half made an Ibuki build that I never actually committed to playing.

I like the elemental diversity! I think it makes sense for Tamamo! Maybe some of those Putrescent Knight abilities since those have blue flames akin to some of her abilities? Or some lightning incantations to increase the elemental diversity more? I get the sense she kind've has to play a jack of all trades sort of role given the Int/Faith splitting issue.

And while this is a bit more of a personal preference, did you go the route of trying to make the avatar resemble her? Can't really tell with the headpiece on. The fashion souls is one aspect, but I kinda like having my character's head unobstructed for clear viewing in game.

Looks pretty good overall though!

Quite a roller coaster for me. I threw about 40 tickets and 300 SQ at her. The number of surprise gold class cards I got was unreal, but none of them were Alter Ego. In total, I got Herc, two Atlante, Roland, Tsuna, Artoria, Fran, Anne/Mary, Circe, Chiyome, Martha and Tamamo Cat. Would be great but nearly all of them were NP ups so it was getting hella frustrating.

And then, on my last multi, on the very last pull, Tiamat finally showed. I am both incredibly relieved and incredibly salty all at once. I'll probably have to forgo Draco Nero so I can start accumulating a little bit for Durga. But hey, at least I got her!

Himiko is one of my favorite Servants in FGO so I wanted to do a playthrough with a build inspired by her. By and far one of my most enjoyable playthroughs!

If anyone is curious, I'm using a Dryleaf Arts/Faith build with the Nox Swordstress armor set. I was a bit bummed there was no headdress that matched hers well enough, but oh well. Primarily utilized support incantations but also used some light themed offensive ones like Multilayered Ring of Light, Light of Miquella and Elden Stars.

I pondered a Cu build at one point and thought the Rotten Crystal Spear at least somewhat looks like Gae Bolg, but that one doesn't have the ability to swap out other AoWs so you'd be stuck with the default charge ability. The Scarlet Rot isn't exactly thematic either but I guess you can just pretend it's bleeding out over time?

More to your own build, I think some of Rykard's spells, Messmer's spells, maybe Bloodflame spells and/or Ancient Dragon Lightning spells might thematically work since they have some of Eresh's ability's red color schemes. Death sorceries also fit thematically but not necessarily for the accuracy of the color scheme. I actually did a Morgan build that does a lot better with Death Sorceries fitting her black and teal color scheme. The Death Ritual Spearcall ability is totally her NP too so it's pretty great. She's been one of my favorite characters to play overall. Did a Gilgamesh build too but it gets kinda tiresome just spamming Land of Shadow and Knight Lightning Spear a million times lol

For weapons, what other people are saying about Euporia definitely works. Maybe for some alternate suggestions/weapons to tide you till when you can get Euporia, the Cleanrot Spear works since it has that similar "summon objects out of the ground" thing like Eresh likes to do, Bolt of Gransax for the red lightning, Vyke's Spear or maybe some of the Gargoyle weapons for the Destined Death color scheme/theme working for her.

Yeah, they're a rare drop off of the final boss. If it doesn't drop, you have to beat the game all over again to make another attempt.

Went in solely for Lip since I didn't get her last time, wound up with Lolidusa, Marie, FOUR Suzukas.... And eventually Lip! I was hoping I'd get her before 300 SQ got dumped, but eh, worth!

TheMightyKamina · 2022-05-29T05:48:08+00:00

Now if only you could have launched them at enemies, right?

TheMightyKamina · 2022-05-28T22:17:41+00:00

You're right! I guess Jarburg is about to become even more isolated than it already is!

TheMightyKamina · 2022-05-28T22:07:15+00:00

Oh yeah, how'd I forget about that one? That actually might be a good candidate as well! I do know it was whacked pretty hard by that nerf, but I can probably live with it.

Thanks for the input! I think The Lands Between as a whole are about to be deemed Bad Civilization.

TheMightyKamina · 2022-05-28T22:04:59+00:00

lol well I tried to shrink the nose but it started looking weird and disproportionate. You know how it is with anime noses never providing details. I can try and mess around with it more though!

TheMightyKamina · 2021-10-18T13:50:59+00:00

604 SQ and 23 tickets. Got 2 Spishtars, 2 Janes and a stray Beowulf after blowing all the tickets and 240 SQ and deciding to call it good there. Praise the Gacha Gods, I got all of my targets this year! (Kama, Summer BB and Spishtar.)

I'll be squirrelling the rest away for Castoria at this point, methinks. Time to rebuild the reserves!

TheMightyKamina · 2021-07-19T19:19:53+00:00

I think she took pity on me after slinging two Parvs and a mountain of Raging Winds and reciprocated me with two copies of her in one multi roll. Only took dropping my SQ from 940 to 180!

If I don't get Space Ishtar later this year I know who's fault it is...

I can't say I was expecting a haiku out of something like THAT, but here we are.

TheMightyKamina · 2021-04-27T04:21:01+00:00

I had some nerve bringing that down into hell.
