It's ridiculous that a 1* Servant is somehow also my most powerful Servant.

Yeah, F/GO seriously makes sub 4 stars somewhat good. Leonidas for example can solo some events,Cu solos like half of them and if you buff-stack Arash enough he oneshots everything. EVERYTHING. Can do up to 4 million damage.

Kintoki's pretty absurdly good at this stage in the game. He's basically capable of oneshotting everyone if you have a waver on the frontline since he can get up to +50% NP instantly and comes inbuilt with an attack buff.

This is one thing to keep in mind if we do any Bleach mercs too.

Unless you're already dead, theyre completely invisible and inaudible, which should probably be factored into their value.

Or you just state that everyone can see them and hear them. Honestly though most bleach characters would be like 6-8/week sort of area.

Fiiiiiine

I can dream

Maybe I should start on that Wolverine build then

Just do a PS build. Pennywise is 10/10 for that, honestly. We need more PS which aren't just buff/ability.

Johnbobb posted...

I think having matches with him able to take the forms of the enemy's fears could potentially be really cool

There's a lot of things I think could be really cool. Like having Accelerator from A Certain Magical Index in this could be cool. But he's broken and borked in such a way that it's really impossible to properly put him into a game like Mercenaries without either breaking him or breaking the game.

Pennywise is such the sort of thing where it's either "Is the mercenary fearless, if yes win if no lose" (or if they're a robot, etc), he's both a infinity/week and a 0/week because of this dichotomy.

Johnbobb posted...

ok so I really want to make a Pennywise build

Just make him a PS that can torment and draw astray one mercenary. No need to have him be a fully fledged mercenary

KommunistKoala posted...

but he's objectively a bad servant lore-wise

Nah, Kojiro's basically a swordgod. Even Gilgamesh wouldn't fight him in CQC. The only factor he's really gimped by is his sword, which isn't anything special.

However when supported by Caster, Kojirou even managed to repel Heracles in F/SN, for a limited time.

Kojirou is a great servant but one that needs back-up to truly shine. Unlike other servants he's not a mana drain and his NP is completely without cost to the servant or the master, making him one of the most efficient servants around. Couple that with his inherent abilities to hide his nature as a servant, his ability for an enemy never to gain an advantage over him and otherwise, Kojirou's a great servant. Just against someone like Karna, the real A+++ servants that could be summoned there's nothing he can really do.

But those servants also come at a major, major cost, one that might be even worse than Kojirou's downsides.

Johnbobb posted...

Rick I actually have as a 5.

Considering that write-up, I'd personally make him a 6/week with Keep Summer Safe making him a 7.

Johnbobb posted...

HIM

Johnbobb posted...

Blue Eyes White Dragon

Do these two have enough feats to really make a merc of?

Johnbobb posted...

Rick Sanchez

This one's an interesting choice for 4/week. To me Rick would go from 1/week to 7/week depending on what he has on hand. What's his write-up?

Why don't you just make him old man logan wolverine?

swordz9 posted...

I might be alone in this, but I don't care about any of the 1-2* Servants really. Caligula was pretty amusing during the Orion event, but I don't care enough about any of them to ever consider using them

Arash has a hilariously strong Noble Phantasm, which is kinda broken really. Leonidas with proper builds turn into a forever-tank that can never die ( ) and there's a bunch of other interesting things you can do with them too.

But yeah, I must admit I'm not too inspired with them either.

Tom Bombadil posted...

I remember somebody a while back saying that ascension items stop being a bottleneck at some point.

Basically all of the items you can get in the ascension item quest become things you can specifically grind for in lower AP places. For example in London there's easy Gears grind locations.

GANON1025 posted...

An .8% chance to specifically get Cooler is better a 1% chance to have a 60% chance at getting the banner SSR here.

See, I totally disagree here. In Dokkan you need a Cooler to make any of your PHY Extreme units even worthwhile for current events. If you don't have that leader that entire type of unit basically gets thrown into the trash. It's not a 1% chance for 0.8% chance for cooler, it's a 0.8% chance to have any of the PHY units you ever pull not be shit. On top of that, in Dokkan you not only need that 0.8% lead, you either need to spend months grinding for LRs or Strikes to make a worthwhile team or whale for a good pullable team to even be able to attempt a new event.

You simply cannot field a UR/LR lead with Ns and expect to win a new Dokkan event, especially on Super difficulty. Neither could you expect to do with a single N unit soloing the event. In F/GO, you can not only win the entire game with 1*s, there are several events you can outright solo with them. Couple that with servants like Robin, Cu and Arash who have ludicrous abilities that make them situationally as good as any 4 or 5 star unit.

And personally, I think F/GO is also more generous. Regardless of events, login-campaigns or story/interlude grinding you get 15 free pulls a month. It's been awhile since I've played Dokkan, but goddamn if their login bonuses were worthless.

Tamamo's 3rd Ascension is an apron with her ass hanging out because it's too short >_>

No, that's a naked apron. It's meant to be like that.

Do we get animation as well?

Lopen posted...

Actually looking into her a bit I guess her special CE looks surprisingly unique compared to others I've seen and her NP actually does higher damage than the usual Buster AOE NPs (including Saber classic), so there's that.

She gets quite the animation upgrade soon too.

Xiahou Shake posted...

I certainly wouldn't mind getting Orion, but yeah the rest of that banner is pretty blargh

Orion's a 100% awful and niche servant too, though. She's solely based on fighting males, so 50% of fights she's basically useless.

FINALLY ASCENDED FUCKING WAVER TO 3RD! FINALLY!

NOW I ONLY HAVE FEATHERS AND MONUMENTS UNTIL I FINISH HIM OFF! SOOOOOoooooooooonnn!

Raka_Putra posted...

Also, do any events give out monuments?

The Chaldea Green missions give monuments on Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Tue/Sun being Saber, Lancer, Archer Piece and Monuments while Wed/Sun being Rider, Caster, Assassin, Berserker Piece and Monuments.

All other days give ascension materials and skill-up materials.

KommunistKoala posted...

upcoming banner was the 6th banner for JP

God I hate having to wait for the 16th banner.

LapisLazuli posted...

I mean, if I got the medals, I'm not gonna just not spend them. Unless they carry over later into another event.

KommunistKoala posted...

well the event is eventually rerun iirc (and much harder the next time) though I don't know if the medals carry over

From what I know they're converted into QP upon the end of the event

swordz9 posted...

Oh yes for a Nightless Rose drop. Now my silver medals are going to the material item instead

Nightless Rose is not a good CE. You shouldn't be buying any of them, to be perfectly honest.

StealThisSheen posted...

Diablo basically gets two free shots on Dizzy, though.

Not really, no. It says refuses to fight until she's attacked. This doesn't mean "until damage is dealt", this means until she thinks she's under attack. Which will be pretty clear and considering her agility it wouldn't be surprising if Diablo didn't hit at all.

StealThisSheen posted...

Does Alany always vote how Kanz does

No, there's been several exceptions.

Lopen posted...

Even if Raiden was immune to lightning (he's not) red lightning hose would deal fire damage to him anyway

Yeah, but as seen with the armstrong boss battle he's pretty resilient to flames and explosions.

Drakeryn posted...

That part I don't buy

Like, just because Kefka uses Firaga doesn't mean he's immune (or even resistant) to fire

Unless we are going full Pokemon and theorizing that Raiden is an electric-type

Electric metal type huh? Wonder if we should get a trainer support character who can apply types to people hue

DoomTheGyarados posted...

Lightning pierces armor, learn to lightning tbh

https://youtu.be/eJ8E76DIYto?t=1m42s
I think Raiden already did.

Hell, considering this scene he's probably immune as fuck to lightning.

DoomTheGyarados posted...

but raiden/lightning especially they are not 'eat shit for days' style tanks.

Isn't that literally what Armstrong did to him? He literally had him stunned and placed into the ground for more than 5 seconds after wailing on him for an entire fight beforehand. Then he literally did it into the back of Metal Gear Excel until it exploded.

And Raiden was fine.

Is that not a feat of tanking or is armstrong a basic bitch jobber now?

DoomTheGyarados posted...

I have long held that something like RLH/Ultima etc nukes the hell out of Raiden. He's just made out of cyborg parts, which works in his universe but against RLH he is, drum roll please, hosed.

Damus maybe, in fairness. Big maybe for me, but Raiden is fucked.

So considering someone like Lightning fights things like the prime evil in his peak in her own universe surely she could tank it with no issue, right?

DoomTheGyarados posted...

Not sure the premise of 'Diablo is kitable' when 'RLH is a pretty big cone in a small arena'

Also the 3.5 second thing is silly. If you cripple someone who is defenseless in 3.5 seconds even if they aren't dead they are crippled. FMV people, not turn based jrpg. They aren't at 20% health. They have internal injuries or missing parts.

Damus is a sentient being of Phazon, Raiden is a full body cyborg and Lightning is a goddess. All of these are candidates for "Can operate while severely injured". Lightning less so, but Damus and Raiden would be the ones on the frontlines while Lightning heals herself up.

DoomTheGyarados posted...

Also it isn't as if when they are unstunned they would be fully functional, Drak. They would be eating a RLH from a knocked out state. Like I think one thing to 'consider' is say they are alive... are they in great shape? Diablo is a legit threat and if they are badly wounded he'd probably finish them easily.

Finish 3 people who have self-healing options in an area where this easily kiteable opponent is?

Like, seriously? Damus even flies, Diablo doesn't really have a counter to that.

Would RLH literally cover every single combatant considering the distance and AoE? Would it even be 5 seconds of Hose considering he has to actually decide to use it and gather the situation?

I got a nightless rose drop! Lucky! Grabbed all of my ascension materials, now I'm going to be grabbing as many crystallized lore as I possibly can.

Hope my phone arrives today! Lost two login days, so hopefully I can actually get in some time on the first round of Nerofest

Wanglicious posted...

10 pull.
got Waver.

well this event's 10/10 for me.

Congrats, you got the best servant in the game at the minute.

Umu umu! Hopefully my phone arrives in time for me to grind!

LapisLazuli posted...

If you're Android maybe you can install Bluestacks to your PC and login? Might not work if the phone is already gone, though.

F/GO is actively anti-emulation unfortunately. Got a million and one methods of dealing with emulated stuff.

Really annoying. I'm out a smart phone for a few days as my new one won't arrive until the 25th

KanzarisKelshen posted...

So the question is - guys, assume invisibility for Ryu3 doesn't matter here. Who wins that clash, and why?

W100 by far, honestly. I don't respect Lilith much, but I'm sure her +100% parameters will be more than enough to keep her alive considering her abilities. Cloud is strong and I certainly see him fighting the W100 on equal terms (until he's swarmed or defeated by attrition) until Zeratul backstabs him. Terra is a good support, but the overwhelming enemies means her staying alive is very, very doubtful.

Ryu3 is the one who tips that, in my head.

Ryu

Gatarix made my point for me.

Arwings are honestly pretty useless here.

Besides, I pulled 3 of these 4 5*s and 3 of these 4 4*s!

Take a picture. Lemme evaluate.

You're lacking the true money man Waver, so if you are going to sell the account I'd recommend doing it quickly as the future JP meta is already infesting the market.

I read somewhere that you can max the ATK/HP bonus (990) by buying the Fou sets from Mana Prism store. Since one of them gives 50 HP/ATK and there are 20 of each, that means you need to buy all 40 of them to max the stat bonus, right? Which means spending (40 * 40) = 1600 Mana Prisms per month?

You can also pull Fou's from the FP gacha too.

Mac Arrowny posted...

Once you NP5 a 3* Servant, you might as well burn them for MP, right? I have more NP5 3*s than 2*s, which feels weird...

Burn or use them for XP, yeah. Pretttty sure.

swordz9 posted...

I've seen people beat the Super Saiyan 4 bosses with f2p teams aka cards everybody can get without needing super lucky pulls.

Except even those cards require some 1% chance pulls and a lot of pulls to get, specific items, strategies and on top of that it's not even a fair fight. You essentially have to bow to the RNGods and pray for luck.

In F/GO at least 3* and below challenges are still a thing. Hell, there's even Cu solo shit.

swordz9 posted...

virtually every SR aka 4* is worthless these days

Not "virtually", every single SR is worthless and if your team isn't UR/LRs (and even then you need the right leader and all of the new cards to beat the new bosses) then you're going to get fucked out of the events.
