Right but this requires not using her in cowgirl form

This is why god invented the hard random ascension function

No matter what RNGsus gives you, you still win

(FWIW I think my favorite animations for her are Ashtart's, because they are just absolutely wildin fluid. But every single ascension has a selling point)
Shine on, you crazy diamond.

Oh, I just realized I forgot one of my actual favorite NPs because it's an enemy one.

LB5 spoilers: Grand Order: Anima Animusphere - Kirschtaria (specifically the invocation he uses in Atlantis)

put that on the list in the top 3 for sure, could even be #1.

So this may seem like a silly question but

Why were Onmui and her little brother wandering around alone 35 miles away from Muramasa's shack with all this bad shit going on in their world?!?!

I'm just thinking about this from the perspective of my enemies.

I just seem like a normal dude with slight magic power and a mere trifle for some of them to kill. But then the battle starts and suddenly I'm calling forth ancient heroes from the Age of Gods, Queens of Fairy legend and other monstrous opponents for them to fight.

And if they somehow clear the first wave of these people, at the very back of my lineup comes this big angry fucker straight from Greek mythology to hit them when they're tired.

More opponents should be scared of the Master of Chaldea.

He should 100% become an Avenger servant, especially after everything I've seen from the latest bit of content.

Also, Shimosa has SO MANY things that are referenced in Fate Samurai Remnant. I don't know if any of you have played that, but you all should. It's FANTASTIC, and you'll be going "OMG!" at a lot of the stuff that happens.

Okay so I'm finding that at NP1, Morgan is kind of just a glass cannon, and without her skills maxed she doesn't help the party nearly as much as I'd like. Not that I'm criticizing my wife or anything, I guess I should've just been more prepared.

I watched the Lore video for the Lostbelt prologue and LB1.

Holy SHIT I didn't realize how nuts this Lostbelt thing was. So for the entirety of part two are we just confined to that battle tank since they took Chaldea away from us???

It'd be spoilers to fully answer that, but... (spoilers up through where we are now in NA... so Tunguska)

At first Chaldea is indeed restricted to just that tank - for LB1 and LB2, IIRC. Around the time of LB3 they find another base from one of the more enigmatic branches of the Mage's Association that kind of dodged the bleaching by being in a pocket dimension or something and move in there. But later after Tunguska (so post-LB6) they lose that one too, but we've massively upgraded our ride in the meantime - we've got like an airship that can launch the tank if they want to provide air support or something.

I've seen enough from the ppl in Salem to think that the better approach here would've just been to come in and start laying the smack down on these people. None of this skirting around the edges pretending to be performers. This Hopkins guy needs the hell beaten out of him and to be thrown in that cell.

Yeah it's a combo of being very depowered + the servants are all weak fighters to begin with save Nezha + we're trying to save these people, not murder the shit out of them + if you die in the game you die for real. Makes combat a super unappealing proposition on every front.

Not sure if you noticed, but there's an event going on now.

There's also a new Servant in the FP gacha, so now's the best time to roll all your FP if you have any extra.

It was good. It felt slightly rushed. I felt like there should've been more Abby/Ritsuka interaction throughout the story to make the ending have a bit more gravity, but overall it was still very good. I like that Sanson got to keep his pre-Salem memories, also.

I got that Servant, and I'll go check out the All the Statesmen thing. Does this event drop any worthwhile rewards? coz I was gonna skip it due to not liking the art style at all.
