Board 8 > Fate/Grand Order Topic 4: Sailing the Seven Seas

(+) Yeah! (+)

I attended a Fate Fan Cafe today and it felt like the correct occasion to roll.
I got the Buster + Crit CE, Arts + Crit CE, and... My second SSR, Drake!

^5 Shadow Dino

^5 fellow EX Rank Lucker Raka

Beated the story stages of Okeanos.
Once again I had to use my Command Spell revive against the real boss of the area. I just dunno how you can kill those things otherwise with the damage they put out

Some news:




---

Easier to farm monuments and maybe some mats now
---

If it's the same as JP, hell yeah!
---

Got Drake to 2nd Ascension.

Her 3rd Ascension needs 24 Dragon Fangs.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
---

Good thing Okeanos has a better map for farming Fangs...
---

I got Anne and Mary from some tickets.
---

Have used all my Tickets and I think 60 (or maybe 90?) Quartz since the Gilgamesh Banner and haven't gotten any Gold Servants or 5* CEs since then...
---

Okeanos has been pretty decent story wise. Euryale is funny, Drake is great, kinda torn on Blackbeard's meme spouting nonsense.
---

Asterios is the real surprise. He's pretty fucking moe lol

Drake was alright. A little bit generic, but solid. I think Orleans was better, but this is a big improvement over Septem at least. Much more focused and consistent.
---

New Dailies up.

Also did Asterios's Interlude. Was super moe. So much hand-holding <3
---

Have an Orion and Medea Lily banner coming up. Runs alongside the Drake banner for a few days.
---

medea lily is p. adorable
---

Medea Lily will also be on the Scathach banner (that also has the 2030 CE which is pretttttty good) so unless you really want Orion or Herc probably better to hold out
---

Love these new daily stages. They should be permanent

Too bad they aren't...

...because they get improved down the line!
---

As long as some form of it is permanent I'll be happy! Getting way more materials this way

Yup. Worries about Monuments are basically a thing of the past now.
---

I've done the 40 ap mission a bunch and haven't seen a monument yet
---

...really? I think they have over a 60% chance to drop. I've seen pictures of people getting 3 at once!
---

I don't care much about monuments. I need Feathers and other materials. Monuments aren't very hard to come by and you can't even use most until you've ascended twice >_>

eh, I'm all out of Berserker Monuments. It depends on which Servants you get, really. I think Feathers are the main mats that benefit from this. Not sure if many others have their drop rates go up? 30AP is best for them btw.
---

I need some for Cu and Boudica. Need a lot more Chaos Claws than anything other than Dragon Fangs though.

Sadly Chaos Claw rates are still bad. Gonna have to wait for Halloween for those.
---

At least Halloween should be close. I have 8 Saber monuments since I finished Artoria not long ago and like 9 Berserker monuments. All my others are around 20-30. They would be lower if I wasn't hitting so many Feather, Claw and Octuplet hurdles

If anyone has Tamamo Cat: "Savescumming" her interlude can net you up to five chaos claws.

Edward Teach's Interlude also drops a ton of Forbidden Pages if you guys are blocked on that.

I COULD use some forbidden pages
---

got another Chaos Claw from the Chimera on today's Berserker 40 AP mission

neat!
---

Next daily looks like the Rider stage, so all the Dragon Fangs
---

Atalanta's shock at Artemis being, well, Artemis is pretty funny.

"Mash...you can stop joking around"
---

I actually got killed on the new 40AP Rider daily. Those dragons hit hard and then Marie just takes forever to kill. I've had 0 success with death triggering from NPs too. Seems like such a useless thing when the trigger rate feels below 1%

Yeah I came really close to losing that as well, although to be fair it wasn't with my A Team (but it WAS my anti-Rider team!)
---

Instant Death generally doesn't work against Servants, so it's not really worth trying. Works pretty well against Hands (and Doors?) in the Dailies though. Also more likely to work against certain enemy types, like Ghosts. You just have to figure out which enemies have death resist and which don't.

The Dragon is kinda painful with a Berserker team ;_;. But yeah, you'll want to pick the best anti-type Servant for each day. Carmilla is nice against Riders.
---

I always save NPs for bosses which are usually Servants, but I've never had it work against the gigantic dragon, daemon or any other such enemy. It does enough damage to regular enemies that it doesn't even need to trigger Instant Death so I dunno it just kinda seems like the worst bonus effect. Weird that it's more likely to work on ghosts who are already dead <_<

must be nice having a death NP that still does damage

stheno is my only servant not stuck at 60
---

Cu has instant death on his, though I'm not sure if it's ever activated for me.
---

Oh man a Serpent Eye for my first 40AP clear of Caster. I wonder if those have better drops on 30 or 40AP. Tried to check the daily quest in the opening post, but it told me the page was unavailable

The information's still being updated since the quests are all new. You can check out the drop table though.
---

I would try the drop table if it loaded good on my iPhone :(

don't feel bad I can barely run it on my laptop
---

solution to fighting everything so far seems to be "use what they're weak to."

enemy Rider? use a Caster.
enemy Assassin? use a Rider.

content is resolved real easily.
---

Hopefully I can get a bunch of hearts for EMIYA tomorrow. That's all I need to get his last ascension.
---

Using Casters against Riders and Riders against Assassins would actually be hard mode...

Also, most of us unfortunately don't have good Servants in every class, so things don't work out quite that well. I don't have any Gold Casters, for example, and my Medea's level isn't very high.

focus on mats this week I guess, since next week is XP/Mana Prism week
---

my assassins are lolstheno and a Jing Ke at like 40
---

bah, i got the triangle backwards there. though even 3* ones with 1-2 ascensions should work fine, most of them aren't that strong and they'll tank damage well.
---

Ugh Waver is annoying as usual. So much HP and he can cut your damage down to garbage. Haven't gotten another Serpent material yet. I need it for Medusa and Carmilla at least. I did Ascend Saber Lily who is one more away from max now
