Chances of Nerofest actually happening at this point seem pretty unlikely. This event lasts till the 19th, and they still have Halloween 2017 rerun to do before Halloween 2018. Halloween rerun's gonna take up anywhere from late September to mid October, leaving Halloween 2018 to run from mid~late October to late October~early November. The purpose of Nerofest is primarily to just buy for time until new content is being created and give a break to the devs after packed June~August time period, and Fate/Zero collab rerun already fills that purpose so... TT_TT Hopefully they sneak it in there. I'd take Nerofest over the Halloween rerun, and I didn't even get Mecha Liz last year. Well, yeah, he's pretty good. Still not touching his rate-up with a 10-foot pole. |

What I got from that video was, if you have Okita saber diarmuid will not add much to your team. And judging by the conversation here, quick based servants aren't really anymore broken than the others even with Skadi. Basically, no point to roll for him specifically. But no harm if he shows up out of the blue too unless you were targeting something else. I know I won't bother rolling for him; unless I never get Waver by the time of the rerun in NA I will not roll on FZ banner in general. |

i mean dude isn't limited so he will forever have the chance to spook you anyways his first skill has the same problem as jack, cept worst stats, but a general attack up tho second skill is ok, third would have been better if it was actually a focking np charge instead of generation rate up when he has one focking arts card still, tho 4 hits on those quick damn np is shite >removing def buffs after damage, cause fck you |

@mira-pyon Arts cards, are the only cards that can do both high damage w/ crits and gen a lot of NP. The point was that Quicks can natively do this thanks to them generating their own stars. Arts need to rely on CasGil and/or plenty of 2030s to be able to consistently crit. Crit cards don't come with a Skadi on default. Only with Skadi can they do what you described, but even then Quick cards don't have good NP gen on most Servants that aren't Jack and Summer Fran. Neither do most Arts, to be honest. Very few Arts can consistently spam their NPs. If we don't count Tamamo and Skadi, the likes of Archoria and Jack are the exceptions to their card niches. Saying that most Quicks can't do this without Skadi is the same as saying that most Arts can't spam without Tamamo/Merlin. Which... yeah, I don't disagree. People got too used to using Tamamo and Merlin, they forgot that most Arts Servants are kinda crappy at what they're supposed to do best without the support. Quick cards aren't any more affected by RNG than any other cards, so giving us a Servant that eliminates RNG will just make them all rise by equal amounts. The limitation of Quicks is that the payoff is always on the next turn. Next turn you'll get the chance to do more damage and get more NP, but for now, you'll deal 0.8x the damage and gen squat NP. Also, that crit potential and all the Skadi buffs are likely to be wasted on cards and Servants that wouldn't benefit from it on that next turn. This RNG of the card's actual basic function isn't there for the two other cards. With Arts and Busters, the benefit is immediate, regardless of BB's presence. In Arts chains, you get to keep the charge on all the Servants in the chain for whenever you see fit to use. Even if you don't get the chain again next turn, you already got the reward from that turn. In Buster chains, the damage multiplier increase is in the chain itself. Even if you don't get the chain again next turn, you already got a guaranteed turn of perfect damage buffs. This is why I say BB helps with Quicks immensely. All the stars and crit potential you worked on with the perfect combination of Quick cards are there for you to reap right now. Exactly. Only 3 turns. That is not putting Quicks on equal footing to Busters and you know that. Being able to burst damage for only 3 turns, and not having any reliable form of defense and sustain is going to be really bad for any quest that's not a farming quest. With Skadi's buffs and BB locking the perfect conditions for Quicks down for 3 turns, it's more than enough for the vast majority of quests in the game. With a Skadi team, you could be standing on thin ice for a long while. Quick Servants with 3 Quick cards should accelerate that period at the start. I indeed saw how Kuro was a pain to use with BB thanks to her 2 Arts cards. It's very much a problem with Skadi's kit having zero defense or healing support, but I think that it's easy to mitigate with the right DPS choice in the party. But even after you get the right cards, the critting still has RNG tagged right on it at least for the first turn(which is still a huge 1/3 of the whole thing) - without a Quick Servant like Deermud who actually has star absorb, and without something like Golden Carp(which still only works on the first turn, so if RNG fails you then you'll have wasted 20 stars), you won't know if your Servant is going to crit like you want them to and actually make that difference. If that one card refuses to crit and you still have an enemy left on that round, your whole plan will be in shambles. That's not an issue at all, actually. A stable element of this strategy is to have a Skadi with a Golden Carp and leave BB in the back with another Golden Carp and only switch her in when the cards are right. If your hand is right in the first turn, you get 40 stars. If not, your Quick Servant should be able to get his own stars until the time is right + the 20 stars from when BB jumps in. You're assuming we have Double Skadi AND our own BB here. That's ridiculous. In the any given account, Quicks are still largely useless and BB's miracles are locked to them. That's the crux of this whole thing, though. With double Skadi + BB you get results that you CANNOT get from a double Merlin + BB (because you can't do multiple Buster NP chains that allow target switching in a row) or a double Tamamo + BB (because of the lower damage ceiling due to the lack of good crit Arts support). Is that team easy to assemble? Of course not and that was never the point. The point was that, in case you actually got a good Quick with double Skadi and BB, you get a one in a kind team that can deal the absolute best with waves, which is the current trend of quests in the game.

Well, fan favoritism aside, it's always good to have more options. No, you don't explicitly need him if you have Okita, but sometimes you need to cut that cost by a few points to fit that one CE in and would think "if only I had that cheaper Servant who can do the thing I wanna do". It's not exactly going to be a frequent case or anything, but it has happened to me more than a few times. Though my advice is always to save for your favorites, and that's why you'll never see me wasting my quarts on him, and I don't even have a single Quick Saber. > And judging by the conversation here, quick based servants aren't really anymore broken than the others even with Skadi. Broken with Skadi? No. Useful for farming? Yes. Broken with double Skadi + BB? OH, YES.

astroprogs said: The point was that Quicks can natively do this thanks to them generating their own stars. Arts need to rely on CasGil and/or plenty of 2030s to be able to consistently crit. Eh, not really. Quicks themselves give stars, but Quick Servants need some sort of star absorb AND good star gen to even hit their own niche. Quick Servants that aren't Assassins are usually bad at star gen anyway, hence why the BBQQA deck of Lancers is seen as such a curse. Very few Arts can consistently spam their NPs. We're not talking about NP spam here. Having good NP gen =/= needing to have NP spam. Most Arts Servants are Casters, most Casters have some form of NP gauge up; most Arts Servants therefore have much better NP gen by default than most Quicks w/o even including the innate NP gen advantage of Arts cards. If we don't count Tamamo and Skadi, the likes of Archoria and Jack are the exceptions to their card niches. Saying that most Quicks can't do this without Skadi is the same as saying that most Arts can't spam without Tamamo/Merlin. Which... yeah, I don't disagree. Except the thing is: you can get a fully-working Arts spam w/ just Tamamo, but require double Skadi AND Nyaruko to get the same effect w/ Quick. People got too used to using Tamamo and Merlin, they forgot that most Arts Servants are kinda crappy at what they're supposed to do best without the support. As someone who didn't have Tamamo for almost 3 years, and who doesn't generally use Merlin w/ Arts Servants, I can tell you that most Arts Servants can indeed do what they do best w/o the support. I'm genuinely having a hard time finding Arts Servants who have bad NP gen. This is why I say BB helps with Quicks immensely. All the stars and crit potential you worked on with the perfect combination of Quick cards are there for you to reap right now. Still relies heavily on RNG. The card freeze straight-up requires you to both have crit stars from the previous turns AND to have the perfect deck on the next turn. As I said, you're only actually reaping those benefits for 2 turns as the turn before the first could leave you with bad resources With Skadi's buffs and BB locking the perfect conditions for Quicks down for 3 turns, it's more than enough for the vast majority of quests in the game. Well, yeah, the vast majority of quests are some sort of farming. You're just repeating my point. But, I repeat, that's 3 turns + whatever amount of turns it took you to get to the perfect set of cards. That's a whole lot of turns wasted and way less efficient than just using an Arts or Buster team, hence not equal standing. Quick Servants with 3 Quick cards should accelerate that period at the start. I indeed saw how Kuro was a pain to use with BB thanks to her 2 Arts cards. The majority of Quick Servants that have 3 Quick cards are Assassins. Skadi is a Caster. I'm sure I don't need to spell out the kinds of problem one could face in those prep turns. Also finding a Quick Servant w/ 3 Quicks who isn't an Assassin is hard. Most of them have a mix with Arts to help NP gain or Buster to help damage. Heck, a lot of our good Assassins don't have a QQQ deck - they normally have a mix of Quicks and Arts, or the rare Buster in KH and Semi's cases. Imo, the devs themselves made it harder to resurrect Quicks by straight-up not making alot of Quick Servants who can fully stand as Quick Servants. It's very much a problem with Skadi's kit having zero defense or healing support, but I think that it's easy to mitigate with the right DPS choice in the party. Exactly. Right DPS. You're being forced to choose a good DPS, which you might not even have, in addition to your own Skadi, your own BB, and a friend's Skadi. All to make Quick as viable as Arts and Busters. It's not equal standing at all. That's not an issue at all, actually. A stable element of this strategy is to have a Skadi with a Golden Carp and leave BB in the back with another Golden Carp and only switch her in when the cards are right. If your hand is right in the first turn, you get 40 stars. If not, your Quick Servant should be able to get his own stars until the time is right + the 20 stars from when BB jumps in. What if the turn before you get perfect cards you get a bunch of Arts/Buster cards? Then you won't have enough stars to bump up your amount of crits stars to eliminate RNG. It's especially worse if you get Arts cards. And that's actually really likely, considering most Quick Servants have 2 Arts or Buster cards. Next, even if you manage to secure a Quick chain the round before, you're very likely to not gen enough stars to add on to the 20 and eliminate RNG. Assume you're on round 2 of the 3-round deck shuffle and you get your perfect cards. This means you have at least 2 Quick cards of your Quick Servant in that round. If they have 3 Quicks in their deck(which is highly unlikely), this means the Servant will have used their 3rd Quick in the round before, or would use it in the 3rd round had the freeze not happened, or might even have said 3rd Quick card in the current round. There's a similar idea with the round 3 - your Servant will have likely used their 3rd Quick card(if they have one) in rounds 1 or 2. This means that actually securing that Quick chain + stars in the round before relies on your 2 Skadis getting the right cards in the round before. In total, the Skadis will have 4 Quick cards. That is, enough for one chain. 4 Quick cards split between 3 rounds is a very low number to put your hopes in - it relies heavily on RNG to actually allow you to get that Quick chain the round before. But even if you get that chain, Skadi's star gen sucks. You'll be getting 10 quaranteed stars and give or take 10 more depending on things like whether they crit, and whether your Quick Servant a) has good star gen b) has a 3rd Quick card c) has said 3rd Quick card in that round. That still only means you have 40 - maybe up to 45, but I'm not seeing 50. In the best of situations you still have not eliminated the possibility of your Quick Servant's cards a) not getting 100% and b) not critting even if they get 90%. That's genuinely such a huge risk, considering how much work you will have put in to get it to such a perfect state. To me, that does not look like equal footing w/ Arts and Busters at all. That's the crux of this whole thing, though. With double Skadi + BB you get results that you CANNOT get from a double Merlin + BB (because you can't do multiple Buster NP chains that allow target switching in a row) or a double Tamamo + BB (because of the lower damage ceiling due to the lack of good crit Arts support). I was never comparing Double Skadi + BB to Double Merlin/Tamamo + BB, tho. I was saying that BB still doesn't give Quick cards an equal footing as Buster and Arts cards. Because it doesn't. Having BB still means we need Double Skadi in the team to make Quick mega broken. And there's still a lot of RNG even in the 'mega-broken' team itself. Even the best Quick team has a crapton of RNG and restrictions. I cannot possibly see tha as having an 'equal footing' with Busters and Arts. But fair enough, I can see what you mean now when you say that BB helps Quick teams more than the other two cards. Well, until my Caster Artoria comes in w/ her 3-turn 50% Arts up/100% crit up, ofc. I don't have Skadi nor BB, so I still don't care tho, lol....*silent cri* Of course not and that was never the point. Hey, as long as I can easily assemble broken Arts teams and broken Buster teams but not broken Quick teams, Quick teams aren't on equal footing. The point was that, in case you actually got a good Quick with double Skadi and BB, you get a one in a kind team that can deal the absolute best with waves, which is the current trend of quests in the game. Well no. The current trend is CQs + breakbars(which your 'absolute best with waves' team doesn't mesh well with). Waves are just an innate thing. Also, as I said earlier, your team needs 3 turns + however many turns it takes to set up. That's minus points when it comes to wave clearing, which you'll want to take as little time as possible. |

@mira-pyon I feel that there's something I had to make clear from the start. When I talk about the good choices yo use with Skadi, I'm talking about the above average units as a bare minimum. I don't expect Skadi to make Wu Zetian a wave-cleaning NP-spamming all-day-critting machine, just like I don't expect Tamamo to hand Fionn a squirt gun. I'm not gonna pair Tamamo with non-spammers and I'm not gonna pair Skadi with below average Quicks. > Except the thing is: you can get a fully-working Arts spam w/ just Tamamo, but require double Skadi AND Nyaruko to get the same effect w/ Quick. Define "fully-working". Pretty sure a Tamamo + Assassin Nitocris party performs about as well as a Skadi + Lolidusa party. > I'm genuinely having a hard time finding Arts Servants who have bad NP gen. Hm. Well, let's do a quick headcount. The "One NP every 8~12 turns. Maybe." gang: Fionn - Assassin Nitocris - Kerry - Nightingale. On the "One NP every 6~8 turns. Ganbaremashu!" gang: Mashu- Saber Shiki - Archer Helena - Ryouma - Marie Caster - Scheh - Ruler Jeanne. Iri, CasGil, and Caster Tamamo are also notably lacking in NP gen, but, for these ones, it's more than understandable, so that's fine. The first category would certainly never be my first choice as partners for Tamamo. The second category will only be used if I absolutely had no other choice. The issue IMO with Skadi's expected companions is that below average Quicks happen to outnumber the below average Arts spammers. This doesn't mean that there are no good and usable Quicks that can do with a single Skadi what a single Tamamo can do with usable Arts. I also feel that DW is now designing Quicks with Skadi in mind, just look at Summer Ushi and Saber Diarmuid, so I think it's safe to expect the average number of good Quicks to rise gradually. > Still relies heavily on RNG. The card freeze straight-up requires you to both have crit stars from the previous turns AND to have the perfect deck on the next turn. As I said, you're only actually reaping those benefits for 2 turns as the turn before the first could leave you with bad resources Waiting for the perfect hand is unavoidable in the game for all the cards. The best use of Merlin with BB is a Buster Brave Chain and the best use of Tamamo is an Arts Brave chain. > In the best of situations you still have not eliminated the possibility of your Quick Servant's cards a) not getting 100% and b) not critting even if they get 90%. As for securing the stars if the turn before the perfect hand had a lot of non-Quick cards, you're absolutely right about that. There's no sure way to guarantee a crit, even on great Quick Servants. This is the reason why I say that using a suitable DPS to help mitigate this is essential. There's no getting around Quick's shortcoming for the time before BB gets her time to shine, that's undeniable. > Exactly. Right DPS. You're being forced to choose a good DPS, which you might not even have, Like how you should use a good spammer with Tamamo, which you also might not have. Not everyone has Archoria or Jack, Summer Jeanne or Parvati, Lancelot or Summer Fran. The thing Arts have over Quicks is that they have a larger collection of good-to-great Arts spammers, as opposed to the number of good-to-great Quicks critters, which is not just always subject to change, it doesn't mean much when what you get is based on your money luck. There are also welfares, where you have a case like the best Quick (Kintoki) being better than the best Arts spammer (Kuro). > in addition to your own Skadi, your own BB, and a friend's Skadi. All to make Quick as viable as Arts and Busters. It's not equal standing at all. No no, a double Skadi with BB doesn't make Quick viable (again, with the right DPS), it has the potential to make them utterly broken in a way never seen in the game before. Matter of fact is, there isn't a single Arts spammer that can do what Saber Diarmuid did in that previous video, no matter the preparations. Not one. Not even the best Arts DPS spammer in the game with the best support you can think of. There's no way you can look at Diarmuid's and Archoria's kits side to side and ever say that his is better than hers. But then, here we are. This is what a double Skadi + BB do to an above average Quick. > Hey, as long as I can easily assemble broken Arts teams and broken Buster teams but not broken Quick teams, Quick teams aren't on equal footing. There's "Broken" and then there's "B R O K E N" lol. A double Merlin is the former, while a double Skadi + BB is the latter. Seriously though, not being able to form a team doesn't reflect on the team when its performance speaks for itself. Summer BB is broken as all hell, but you won't see me denying that because I don't have her, am very likely never to able to in the future and not able to use that double Skadi combo with her. I'll also say that BB is on equal footing as Merlin, Waver, Tamamo and Skadi as a support, even when her best use case is along other very rare SSRs and SRs. > Well no. The current trend is CQs + breakbars(which your 'absolute best with waves' team doesn't mesh well with). Sorry, that was a brainfart on my part. Though, this team can deal just fine with CQs. But yeah, Waves and breakbars are the domain of AoE spammers. > Also, as I said earlier, your team needs 3 turns + however many turns it takes to set up. That's minus points when it comes to wave clearing, which you'll want to take as little time as possible. That's the downside. The upside is the numbers this team can produce, as opposed to other well known broken teams. You also wouldn't normally use BB is normal wave clear when a double Skadi on it own would suffice and get results in just 3 turns. BB is used when you want to clear waves with highly tanky enemies that just the NP alone won't be enough and you need other guaranteed cards on a chain for maximum output.

@astroprogs I genuinely sort of lost interest in the discussion after a while, so I'll just pick the points I really want to talk about: >Define "fully-working". Pretty sure a Tamamo + Assassin Nitocris party performs about as well as a Skadi + Lolidusa party. I assumed it was common knowledge that you needed Double Skadi for her to actually be good help. Also, yeah, no, Assassin Nito team would definitely perform better. Better damage, better overall NP gen when including her 3rd skil, Extra Attack(vs Ana's), better survivability overall(which Skadi doesn't help for in Ana's case)e.t.c e.t.c Tho it's still a very unfair comparison, considering there're many variables like AoE vs ST, both of them straight-up having different purposes, Tama being in an awkward class advantage area, e.t.c e.t.c >I'm not gonna pair Tamamo with non-spammers and I'm not gonna pair Skadi with below average Quicks. It's not the same tho? An Arts Servant can both be a non-spammer and still be good, whereas you're just looking for above-average Quicks. The pool of Servants we have does certainly affect how good a team comp is - if it didn't, I could just say Arts >>>> Quick because of the inevitable 3-turn 50% Arts/100% crit up skill we'll have in the future. >where you have a case like the best Quick (Kintoki) being better than the best Arts spammer (Kuro). Heeeeeeeeeeey, you finally admitted it! :DDD >The best use of Merlin with BB is a Buster Brave Chain and the best use of Tamamo is an Arts Brave chain. Well yeah, the best use. But even then, Merlin's own singular Buster card is broken af when it's buffed in a Double Merlin scenario. I'm sure I don't need to explain how much better he performs even when RNG isn't on his side. As for Tamamo, she has a much higher chance of actually securing that 'best use' due to her 3 Arts cards, Arts NP, and her worth as an NP spammer is further increased by her NP's 20% AoE NP gauge up. With Tama, a Servant w/ BQQAA can work just as well as one with BQAAA. Heck, I'm pretty sure most of our Arts spammers have only 2 Arts, and the teams still work swimmingly. Comparatively, Skadi really really needs that 3rd Quick for that team to spam well the majority of times. >There's "Broken" and then there's "B R O K E N" lol. A double Merlin is the former, while a double Skadi + BB is the latter. Urr, I think you might've forgotten Merlin's ridiculous achievements in your fanboying of that team. Come back to me when Skadi's DPS can crit 1 mill+ on a single card in a non-Power up event, lol. Skadi fundamentally cannot do plugsuit memes due to lack of sustain, and the team w/ BB can't either. That's a huge disadvantage. >there isn't a single Arts spammer that can do what Saber Diarmuid did in that previous video Yup, totally. Tooooooooooooooooootally doesn't exist: Also, there was that one vid w/ Lancelot Saber and Double BB... I would make one myself, but alas no Waver, no Skadi, no BB. Seriously, that's a pretty ridiculous claim. Arts spammers have been able to do that for literal years. They're Arts spammers; that's what they do. >I'll also say that BB is on equal footing as Merlin, Waver, Tamamo and Skadi as a support, Urr, to put BB who is only good as a Support for her 3rd skill alongside the guy that can make you practically immortal and the other guy that can full-on stop your enemy from firing their NP.... Well, agree to disagree. |

@mira-pyon lol Can't blame ya, this got a little dragged on. > I assumed it was common knowledge that you needed Double Skadi for her to actually be good help. That's not true at all. A single Skadi is already pretty good to use on her own. > An Arts Servant can both be a non-spammer and still be good, Unless I'm overlooking someone, these are support Servants that aren't primarily used as DPS, like CasGil and Iri, so they're not relevant to this debate about who can do more damage. Unless I'm missing something. > if it didn't, I could just say Arts >>>> Quick because of the inevitable 3-turn 50% Arts/100% crit up skill we'll have in the future. Well, this is getting into subjective territory, since I think that it's way less probable for DW to release an Arts crit support due to the ease of abuse than us having better Quicks in the future, but hey, it's not impossible, so who knows. > Heeeeeeeeeeey, you finally admitted it! :DDD lol Did I ever say otherwise before? > Merlin vs Tamamo vs Skadi Sure, I don't disagree. You know how I feel about Skadi being an overall inferior support than Merlin and Tamamo due to her short burst kit and her ability to Arts chain with her NP which is just crappy for a Quick support. I just think that when the stars don't align for Skadi, she's pretty underwhelming, but when they do, she allows for some insane shit that can potentially surpass Merlin in sheer numbers in a Blitzkrieg scenario, so it balances out. It's pretty clear that the points of concession are the reliance on RNG and questioning if a double Skadi can even outdamage a double Merlin. As for the first, yeah, Skadi isn't equipped to deal with RNG (thank god for BB), so I agree on this. As for the second, I find Skadi's ability to allow for both NP spam and Quick card performance would help her net value against Merlin's primary reliance on the performance of buffed normal Buster cards. It's hard to directly compare the two with numbers without cherrypicking Servants, so I'll just leave it at that. > Come back to me when Skadi's DPS can crit 1 mill+ on a single card in a non-Power up event, lol. > Skadi fundamentally cannot do plugsuit memes due to lack of sustain, and the team w/ BB can't either. That's a huge disadvantage. Skadi can do plugsuit shinanigans with the right setup. Not as well as Merlin and Tamamo due to lack of healing or defensive buffs, as you said, but it's doable with a defense support like Mashu or Waver. Here's a plugsuit meme party with Fran allowing her NP to deal 2 mil+ damage. There's also Jack doing a 1.3 mil in the video above on Alter, and that's without the plugsuit being used on her. Imagine if this was a Servant that's strong to these enemies. Wire talking ~4 mil damage on her NP, theoretically. > Mordred video OH MY GOD, THAT'S AWESOME!!! Gonna try replicating that with Jeanne at some point. Well, I could've made that clearer, but I meant using ST spammers. This is why I pointed at Archoria in particular. But yeah, your point still stands, there are no Quick Servants that can do... whatever madness Mordred does in that video. > Urr, to put BB who is only good as a Support for her 3rd skill alongside the guy that can make you practically immortal and the other guy that can full-on stop your enemy from firing their NP.... Well, agree to disagree. Well, BB can literally pause the game for 3 turns on your absolute perfect conditions. With BB, I feel like I'm using a cheat code (which appropriate for the character lol). To me, that's on par with what the best Merlin and Waver can do. But yeah, that's how I personally feel. |

@astroprogs > I assumed it was common knowledge that you needed Double Skadi for her to actually be good help. That's not true at all. A single Skadi is already pretty good to use on her own. Yeah, but she can't do much beyond her 1st and 3rd skills, is what I mean. I wouldn't actively choose to put a Skadi on my team for anything more than a easy Quick boost and sweet NP gen. Comparatively, the other 3 supports are really useful all-round when on their own. Unless I'm overlooking someone, these are support Servants that aren't primarily used as DPS, like CasGil and Iri, so they're not relevant to this debate about who can do more damage. Unless I'm missing something. I mean that in the sense that I wouldn't call most Arts Servants 'spammers'. Also, Servants like Scheh are more valuable for OHKO NPs than spammability. Frankly speaking, you wouldn't use her outside of her niche, whereas someone like Medulily doesn't have a niche she shines greatly in. I mean, I personally see AssNito, Ryouma and Kerry as good Servants despite their NPs being hard to spam as they make up for it in other ways - meanwhile Fionn, Marie and Helena are the small 3 out of our numerous Arts Servants. Can't say the same for Quick - we have much more Quick Servants who are either bad at star gen or NP gen, and who overall deal less damage due to 80% multiplier. Well, this is getting into subjective territory, since I think that it's way less probable for DW to release an Arts crit support due to the ease of abuse than us having better Quicks in the future, but hey, it's not impossible, so who knows. I mean, then it just wouldn't be fair. >3> > Heeeeeeeeeeey, you finally admitted it! :DDD lol Did I ever say otherwise before? Well I roughly remember an opinion like that when we were talking about Servants to grail. I just think that when the stars don't align for Skadi Heh, I see what you did there. can potentially surpass Merlin in sheer numbers in a Blitzkrieg scenario, so it balances out. You see, I still can't see that. At least not with our current Quick Servants. Logically speaking, Merlin team will always deal more damage due to natural Buster advantage. When it comes to pure damage, Merlin will always win. If we have a wave of 3 super-high HP enemies, a double Merlin DPS can clear it in one turn. On the other hand, Skadi works far better when we have 2+ waves of enemies w/ smaller HP. Put simply: they have slightly different uses. It's like ST Servants vs AoE imo. Skadi can do plugsuit shinanigans with the right setup. Not as well as Merlin and Tamamo due to lack of healing or defensive buffs, as you said, but it's doable with a defense support like Mashu or Waver. Here's a plugsuit meme party with Fran allowing her NP to deal 2 mil+.. There's also Jack doing a 1.3 mil in the video above on Alter, and that's without the plugsuit being used on her. Imagine if this was a Servant that's strong to these enemies. Wire talking ~4 mil damage on her NP, theoretically. I know that. Maybe I should've made that clearer - by 'card' I meant non-NP card. Servants in Merlin Buster memes can easily do up to 6mill on their NPs(I'm currently on my phone so I can't really search efficiently, but I'll try to look for some vids when I get home and to ny laptop). This is why I pointed at Archoria in particular. But...she can? I'll have to run some numbers/team comps to see if she can do the same damage on the crits, but she can do 3-turn spam even w/o BB(it's even easier when it's a solo). God knows how scary it'll be if it were to last longer. Being unable to do a potential 10-turn Artoria-only spam w/ double BB is one of the reasons why I was so annoyed I couldn't get her. I'll find that Saberlot vid when I get home too. Well, BB can literally pause the game for 3 turns on your absolute perfect conditions. With BB, I feel like I'm using a cheat code (which appropriate for the character lol). To me, that's on par with what the best Merlin and Waver can do. That makes her broken overall, not particularly as a support. Also, it's not pausing the game -it's pausing your cards. BB pausing you cards isn't going to heal you. It won't protect you from NPs. It won't increase you defense, won't increase your attack, won't stun the enemy, e.t.c e.t.c I'd only ever use her like I use Lancer Raikou or Atalanya - for a specific easy thing they can do for me such as creating stars and giving card boosts. That's not a support. That's not even a semi-support. Hence, not comparable to Merlin and friends. She's still damn broken overall tho. But that's just how I personally feel. :P |

Alrighty, I found the Lancelot one: The setup is different, but the general idea is the same. The 6 mill one I'd probably lose my sanity trying to find but, iirc it was Bryn + Sigurd combi. The 1 mill crit: |

In light of the new challenge quest, Skadi and Quick still needs more buffing. Not enough people respect Quick and Skadi needs to show she deserves to be ranked with Merlin, Waver and Tamamo. She is still unfortunately a joke and ridiculed. I used a friend's Skadi with her bond ce with mine and Lancelot NP'd right into 100% WITHOUT chaining. That is pathetic, it should be 200% or something. :^) |

right, since FGO NA is in maintenance hell rn , i thought i would ask the jp players , if (and i assume there actually was) there is a 24 hr maintenance , would your daily log in streak be reset, like if you were on your 6th day, after the maintenance would you still get the ticket, and would it add a day to the consecutive log in , or is that just forever 1-2 day behind now |
It's good that Slop leveling won the CR awards with such a power gap, Gaijin Weebs don't deserve good anime. Not after what they did to frieren, kusuriya, and many others |

Me: *Glances at FL filled w/ NP+ Artorias* *Glances at gacha* Well 2 tickets won't ultimately make much of a difference to what I'm saving for, so might as well use em now to make myself feel better... 1st ticket, 3* Event CE 2nd ticket.... SHE CAME SHE ACTUALLY FUCKING CAME FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH In other news, it took the combined effort of 14 mill DLs and Accel Zero to clear the last level, but I finally maxed the Summer MC: Honestly a really useful MC. The 3rd skill in particular for Fran and Artoria Archer. |

Congrats! I also maxed Summer MC while farming the event. Also managed to 10/10/10 a certain Sigurd obsessed waifu which will replace Enkidu. Still working on Skadi. |

Considering how long the maintenance was, that's pretty normal. A true authentic Japanese server experience. |
