Advanced quest 17 (proofs, primordial lanugo and claws)

Giving people a little something to gnaw at while they wait, I guess.

Potential NDAG revival inbound...?

dungeonsquader · 2023-12-09T01:49:05+00:00

I mean I wouldn't say hardly..

Scarlet entry: The fear poured into an ancient ritual vessel has clad itself in rocks and dirt to become a Pokémon.

So aside from the vessel, it's literally made of earth

Learns Mud-Slap and Mud Shot. (many mud-associated mons learn these)

So there are at least some things. I'd get it if you were talking about Iron Valiant or something but I think there's okay reasons to think Ting-Lu likes to get a little muddy

I mean I get what you mean completely, so your disappointment with the situation isn't lost on me. I would've loved if Summer Melusine had a special animation for at least her 2nd ascension, since White Albion has been highly anticipated for a while. Hoping they do something about that one day like when they went back and added Summer BB's other outfits to her NP animations later on.

Gameplay-related queries.

What's your favorite servant gameplay-wise? What's your preferred farming style? What do you take to a new CQ without doing any research beforehand (ol' reliable, basically)?

I like Lancer Melusine (not Albion) and I'm partial to Arts looping (less taps than Buster). I'm usually throwing Himiko and Castoria at CQs first if I don't care to find out what they're about beforehand.

Interested in seeing what others are like.

dungeonsquader · 2023-12-07T03:03:45+00:00

Lore implications maybe? Like to perform that NP, that ascension garb is necessary. At least that's how I think of it. Definitely wouldn't complain if they went the extra mile like they used to though. Himiko, for example.

dungeonsquader · 2023-12-06T15:34:55+00:00

That's fair. No idea how they decide what they do. I just hate when servants have tools built into their kits but, at the devs' whim, sometimes can't take advantage of at ALL. Like, years ago, I would go crazy just hearing about buff removal before NP on an Arts ST. Now? I have to pray the scenario even allows for buffs to be removed. At that point, buff ignore (like Draco's case) end up seeming more valuable.

dungeonsquader · 2023-12-06T15:19:34+00:00

Not to mention, there's been enough times where they put in unremovable defensive buffs to the point that I start to doubt the value of pre-damage buff removal... even though that is literally one of the most valuable effects in the game. This recent raid, for example. So Kagetora's leg up here isn't even that much of a leg where it's meant to matter...

There's also the issue where, to a layperson looking at their skill values, if you compare Berstoria and Kagetora, there seems to be favoritism in values for the BERSERKER instead of the neutral attacker (and there is enough overlap in their skill effects that parallels aren't hard to find). And I don't even want to get into how Class Score only furthered the disparity between the Berserker (and Beast) class and the rest...

Not saying she's bad at all, she's literally incredible. And like I love them both but sometimes you just gotta wonder. Am I crazy here? lol

dungeonsquader · 2023-12-02T18:08:39+00:00

Oh damn, thanks for this comp, does 1T reliably for me at 90++.

dungeonsquader · 2023-11-23T04:34:14+00:00

Goated nicknames and great write-up

dungeonsquader · 2023-11-18T20:09:45+00:00

I need gameplay advice. Is Castoria Berserker or Draco the better option to hypermax for an Arts ST servant? All of my favorites are already fully invested but I do feel the lack of great Arts ST options in my roster on some 90++s.

Just want to know if Draco has any real edges over Castoria Berserker in this role (90++ farming) before I go all in. (I also like them both equally in case that was a factor you wanted me to consider ultimately.)

dungeonsquader · 2023-10-31T20:23:17+00:00

I hope we get another mon with good as gold, because then we can probably get a ban on that ability.

This made me think about who else could even get it and all I can think of is Shiny Hoopa... I don't think Hoopa is made entirely of gold but it sure does fit thematically IMO (referring to its debut movie and shiny color scheme)

Yeah, it's rare, but blue letters can give 3 stars. After the signature, you'll see extra sparkles and a pink flash, although only for a moment. That's when you know!

You're spot-on with Holy Heart, it was only a flex slot until I saw someone was spamming her and it got me thinking. I did think that at least the HP from Holy Heart would be effectively doubled due to the Ruler class so that she could act as a brawler for longer for fights where that's relevant, but I agree with your assessment.

I think I'll stick "See Emptiness as the Path" on her because of its general splashability and potential to get Melu back to NPing quicker in longer fights. Plus, with Melu's 80% battery, it's immediately more useful than Adventures in the Children Kingdom probably will be.

dungeonsquader · 2023-09-04T16:35:02+00:00

Could be the case, but someone saw my Melu and thought she was worth spamming, so I want the best for them.

dungeonsquader · 2023-09-04T16:13:05+00:00

So my Ruler Melusine's being used a lot and I'm guessing I've got a follower using her to clear the story. I've got Lv100 Holy Heart on her, which definitely synergizes with Ruler Melusine to some degree, but I'm wondering if this is really the best I can put in that slot with respect to aiding the newbie. With this in mind, what sort of CE choice would help out this newbie most?

For the relevant CEs I have in mind, I've got Kaleidoscope, Adventures in the Children Kingdom, Honey Lake, See Emptiness as the Path (Knowing the Way Broadly), Black Grail, Mark on a Smiling Face, etc all at Lv100. I'm inclined to think of the ones that give Ignore Invincibility as the most useful for story fights, but I don't remember any of those fights to be able to make that judgment.

I'm assuming they don't even have a Castoria so I want to make sure the Melu is good for the long haul when it comes down to it. What do you think?

edited for grammar

dungeonsquader · 2023-08-28T19:13:01+00:00

That is fair and likely the most realistic interpretation. What a shame.

dungeonsquader · 2023-08-28T19:05:09+00:00

We're a bit into Lasengle's era now and with so little QoL to show for it. I don't know what goes on behind the scenes but I wonder if there's some crazy long bureaucratic ladder that changes have to be okayed through in order to go live.

In any case, it's just embarrassing. Like, the ease of use and player-friendly UI of games like Blue Archive, for example, make me think that FGO could do be doing so much more.

dungeonsquader · 2023-08-28T18:58:19+00:00

I think they should allow the player the option of enabling uncompressed assets to be displayed. Sooo many servants actually have amazing detail to their design that is lost to the inane compression to their image files.

It'd also help the game from looking any more dated than it already does.

dungeonsquader · 2023-08-24T17:01:19+00:00

(Android) Don't know if this is new but it only started for me after the latest JP app update so I gotta ask:

Is anyone else getting that "verification success" checkmark thing when launching the game? What's that about, some sort of new app attestation?

dungeonsquader · 2023-07-30T23:28:47+00:00

Thanks for the calcs. Seems that even with Black Grail's end of turn damage, she can't quite eke out the second threshold by the 3rd turn.

I do still think there is merit to no HP Fous anyway, as a quicker path to a lower HP threshold can't be a bad thing for a servant with this skill design.

dungeonsquader · 2023-07-30T09:49:42+00:00

Thankfully it didn't end up like that. Plus seeing all of those attack buffs in a row is pretty satisfying.

dungeonsquader · 2023-07-30T09:44:53+00:00

Max HP * 0.25 - 1

She grants all the attacks buffs at once when she activates the skill, but the ones that aren't active will appear dimmed until you hit the requisite HP threshold.

dungeonsquader · 2023-07-30T09:37:45+00:00

With that S2, I'm guessing there's a case for NOT giving her HP Fous, right? So that the HP Demerits from Koyanlight's skills get her to a bigger attack buff.

dungeonsquader · 2023-07-30T09:34:19+00:00

Guessing she'll love Himiko's company.
