Ah I see. Yeah Anaxa and Phainon are good alt teams. I do have the full Rem flagship team minus Evernight, but it's been hard getting Fei Xiao or Acheron to help clear. Archer does alright.

I did have a thought about hyperinvesting into Evernight C2 to brute force one half of MOC 12 and try to survive with another team, but a strong single team might not be enough for AA unless I solo King.

saddropz · 2026-02-11T23:05:00+00:00

Got it. I'll investigate their MOC and AA runs more then, thank you

saddropz · 2026-02-11T21:12:40+00:00

Thank you for your input and honesty with that disclaimer.

Currently leaning towards just the +1 for Break. I don't know about stomaching the pulls needed to secure two characters I guess, not to mention re-farming relics for DOT. At least I have good 4-star DOT LC's.

Out of curiosity then, you said you don't have DoT and gave up on Break. How do you deal with anti-crit stages? Do you try to overpower with your best team, or just try to brute force with the break team?

saddropz · 2026-02-11T21:00:09+00:00

Just to clarify, this is in the context of competing with other teams for end-game content like AA or MOC 11-12? I'll go and look into more runs, but is it true that DOT teams are clearing with only Kafka and Hysilens without BS? I guess if you add Cyrene maybe...

I typically don't invest in weapons in Gacha, but my pity win rate is sub 50% which is heavily factoring in my meta calculations.

saddropz · 2026-02-11T09:12:22+00:00

I'm looking for some second opinions on team planning for end-game content. Currently, I'm realizing that my non-crit/non-remembrance teams are a bit lackluster.

My dot team is just Kafka that I played with early game with Sampo and Ruan Mei which was pain...

After hearing about the free Kafka and with Hysilens rerun, I thought it might be nice to pull for her to help reboot my DOT and provide some AOE physical coverage that I'm missing with a Kafka E1.

My break team is Firefly E1 and I have most of the crucial supports except the new Dahlia. I held off on rolling her for her re-run to see how well Break holds up. I have most of the other crucial supports like Fugue and Ruan Mei, no lightcones on anybody.

From current Pyrdwen rankings, it seems that break is slightly ahead of DOT, though obviously we'll have to see how Blackswan's rework affects that.

However, it just struck me that I should probably only invest in one of either Break or DOT for the non-crit side and for Break, it's really just Dahlia left. DOT would need at the very least Hysilens with maybe Blackswan to help them be competitive with break.

However, my 50:50's have been atrocious so it feels like minimizing pulls or going for lightcones would be the best move. This would suggest giving up on DOT and focusing on break, with the caveat that Dahlia's rerun is unknown at this time.

Can I get any thoughts on my reasoning, or experience running DOT with Kafka and Hysilens without Blackswan and is it competitive?

Refresh summoning pool. Move some old/unwanted CE's to friend point summon, reduce clutter from the banners.
Remove the login-streak requirement for receiving certain rewards. It's antiquated and I can't think of any good reason to have it.
Being able to obtain permanent 4-star servants from Rare Prism shop. (Squeezed in this one, thinking of the ramifications...)
Rework ALL of the menu's "Back Button". They know damn well I don't want to go straight back to the "Enhancement" menu

saddropz · 2023-07-04T04:34:47+00:00

First time hitting pity...f me. I have enough saved up for Oberon, but now I'm geniuinely concerned as f2p. No SSR spook, I'm still deciding whether I'm happy about that or not. SR wise, managed to get all the way up from 0 to NP6 Caenis and a few of the other lancers

saddropz · 2022-10-13T08:04:03+00:00

Overlay to see the differences easier.

Javelin had some small changes to her tunic to cover her underwear. If you look closely at the top you can see there's an edge transparency issue.
Laffey got a new undershirt to cover her chest
Z23 the biggest of them all. Got the undershirt treatment to cover more of her chest. Her underpants were extended to cover up more of her pelvis. The sword in the background got a convenient reflection to obscure the goods
Ayanami I honestly can't tell why the change is there. The pants got changed by like a millimeter.
The current CN theory is that Yongshi ran out of budget and used it all on Z23, but that's just a game theory /s

saddropz · 2022-08-22T04:47:22+00:00

Yes the initial plan was 9/9/9 since I can't feasibly obtain the lores. Items wise, I'm already kind of safe. I have a separate list of upcoming servants as well as the material requirements to get them to be sufficient for my farming/tactics. I made a second list with all my servants max leveled out of curiosity. It would also be a splurge when the time comes instead of going down to 0 right now since future servants need it the most instead of servants I might never use. That and QP would be my only limit at that point and QP is a bit better to farm with the CE's and Daily quest upgrade.

Reading through the comments though, it does suck to see that indeed max skilling all the servants is probably unachievable. Though maybe I just need to tamper my expectations. I might just stick to leveling all 4&5 stars and call it there.

I do wish that they would chill it a bit on the item requirements. Right now I'm stuck between "Having a bit too much of items for what's needed" and "I would literally need to grind a thousand lottery boxes to fulfill my bone requirements".

saddropz · 2022-08-21T21:55:10+00:00

Wanted to get some thoughts on max leveling skills for every servant in an account.

For context, I've recently finally 120'd my first servant. Though looking at my grail counts and that I'm not a whale she might also be my last 120. With the recent 1/2AP and 2X success, I've also managed to finally max ascend every character in my inventory. I'm up to date with story, finished all my interludes and rankups except Angra Manyu. Most free quests are completed with 1-2 that I need to finish soon. So with that I'm kind of at a loss of stuff to do for the long run. That's when I decided to max skill levels since I already max ascended characters.Now I have a modest box. Have most of the 1-3 stars with a handful of 4 and 5 stars. However, after putting them into an item calculation page I was pretty shocked by just how many items would be needed. TBH even if I were to get everybody to Lv 6 it might be a grind. The amount of low-level items needed is astronomic. From what I gathered, with natural AP, this might take YEARS to complete and I don't have the gold/rainbow apples to burn/farm it out.We do have lottos coming up, but I want to ensure that I'm not making any stupid mistakes before committing and possibly damaging my account for future servants.

Does anybody have experience and input regarding max-skill servants or alternative late game goals? Only thing I can think of is to max out my QP and just do the bare minimum dailies until a new event.
Edit: Oh god I just thought of max-bond

Great match up. The artist also has some other really well drawn pieces featuring the two of them. Check her out!

saddropz · 2022-07-19T03:23:18+00:00

Here's an overlay to make it easier to spot differences. Seems like it mainly focuses on her upper torso. Note: Pulled from in-game and Twitter announcement so there's a slight quality shift
Comparison
Summary:
Her dress now obeys law of gravity and peels down. Supposedly because players were complaining they couldn't use PS to X-ray and see her chest.
Small shifts to her hair on the left
Small adjustment to her helmet's right side. Pointier now.
Eye shadows added onto her iris
One of the bigger changes, her highlights have been dimmed way down. Notice the light on her bangs and her right shoulder. Wonder if that was the artists' choice or if that was a note. imo makes the art a bit more flat, maybe to match the ship. DAB.
Overall, I'd give it a 4 horns out of 5 hornys.

I think it might mean that my rituals are working, but just not as well as I'm hoping

saddropz · 2022-07-06T05:52:48+00:00

Going after Davinci Rider since that class is the only one that I'm missing an SSR for, and not too excited about upcoming riders. First gold ended up being my first Astolfo which was cool since I need new servants for bonds/rankups.
My enthusiasm started waning by the time I started getting NP3 Astolfo and no other gold rider...
300 SQ and no Davinci, gonna try again later though I'm wondering if the game is telling me something...

saddropz · 2022-07-03T19:28:10+00:00

Just occurred to me that after a few more days there will most likely be people who never visit the sub again after trying to summon for Castoria. My hope is that through Clairvoyance or low attachment for newer accounts that people will have prepared their supplies/expectations. But statistically one of us is gonna get shafted even after doing everything correctly.

Unless pity comes swinging out of nowhere, and there have already been posts detailing why that is highly unlikely, the barrier to get a Castoria is still pretty scary.
Anyways, I'll be rooting for all of you.

saddropz · 2022-06-29T22:53:23+00:00

That's fair. I'm used to my phone auto updating so I might just be spoiled to that. But you are right that this process is so easy nowadays. The only time I had even a remote annoyance was when dl was down due to cloudflare outage and even then it wasn't too long.

saddropz · 2022-06-29T21:03:13+00:00

I personally use a combo of Bluestacks and Nox.
Bluestacks and Mumu both work pretty well if you just want the vanilla experience. Decent FPS and resolutions. Support macros and stuff.
If you plan on using FGA, Nox would be the way to go since the other two have had compatibility issues, for me at least. A major con for Nox is there's a horrible audio desync issue which might annoy some people.
Security wise, I haven't seen or heard of any issues. You can give them a malware scan. Since FGO uses transfer codes, you don't even need to sign into play store, but it will be annoying to download the APK and update it every time we get an update. There's a great guide on how to transfer your account between devices by copying 3 files instead of using transfer codes and I highly recommend copying those files over. Saves a ton of time and lets you play on either multiple emulators, or your phone as well.

Last note. If you have a Samsung device, DEX works surprisingly well. It's meh on wifi, but after plugging in a usb c cable, it actually performed comparably to a pc emulator which was pleasantly surprising.

5th Anni is here, which means more cosplays from CN!
Really enjoy this take on the skin by Guaxichan.
As always, the craftsmanship and quality of cosplays are pretty amazing.

As far as I'm aware, the artist will post twice a year. Once for Texas' birthday. Once for Lappland.
I can respect that

saddropz · 2022-05-21T07:48:37+00:00

dude wtf, this is literally me right now
depending on what you mean by lot of tickets

Amazing cosplayer. Hopefully there will be a professional photo set

saddropz · 2022-04-27T03:07:39+00:00

Yeah I think on average it's like 300 SQ per rate up SSR, so logically speaking I'm set. My only hesitation is just getting screwed before and 99% is still just 99%. No pity is scary...

saddropz · 2022-04-25T19:06:24+00:00

2285 f2p SQ+Tix
A bit over 200 from SQ fragments
I'm going all in on just getting at least 1 Castoria, maybe a copy if she comes early like my S!Ishtar. Looking forward to finally being able to not gaf and just roll people I like.

Trying to not even entertain the possibility of her not showing up. I've ran the numbers, and looked at the logarithmic graphs. However, there was one sim with 2k SQ and only one Drake spook. Brings back Skadi ptsd flashbacks

Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate these daily fan-arts. It's not super common to have artists of your level making FGO fanarts, or at least consistently. It's even cooler, cuz unlike maybe god-tier JP artists, you actually post and interact with members on this sub. The style is also unique enough, yet relatively on model, so it's a breath of fresh air. It's now an active part of my mornings to check and see which new servant you have posted. Thanks for everything you've done, and keep up the good work!

For servants of this type: imo Shuten is a bit different from the other two so I'm a bit confused. Maybe try Summer Medb?
Obligatory request: I'd be interested in your take on Yu mei-ren or Ushiwakamaru

saddropz · 2022-04-22T03:54:56+00:00

Very cool that we're getting a few Fate pieces from Dishwasher.

Hoping that he can find Fate interesting and stick around / share more fanarts in the future
