(+) Yeah! (+)

If you have the event item ces, those should be priorit for the appropriate quests (10 ap for gudaguda order, 40ap for Poster Girl, etc)

The Gudaos are only if you can afford to have them, and for the golden quest
---

I only have 1 Poster Girl so hopefully that grind doesn't suck

better than 0 poster girls! I wish I had one for dat medusa
---

I'd be far happier with your Okita than my Poster Girl that I didn't even want at all...

I'd be happier with a Poster Girl than the Kiyohime I got with the one ticket I spent on this banner but what can you do.
---

I am so tempted to pay the quartz for new year.

I feel like vlad or orion are an inevitable outcome for me though.
---

I wasn't happy with Kiyohime either because she was already NP5 on Gilg's shitty banner pulls I had! Really though I would gladly trade all 14 multis and 23~ tickets worth of my Okita pulls for 1 Okita because all 160+ of those cards combined have less value to me

I'm definitely looking forward to supporting this game with a bit of money to get a second Orion. I'll have a NP2 Orion at level 1 instead of a NP1 Orion at level 1.
---

For all my failure at pulling Okita I did at least pull a full set of every pullable event CE, including Poster Girl. Grinding things besides points shouldn't be too bad at least, plus Poster Girl seems like it'd be a really solid CE if I max break it after the event!
---

Nobody answered my question from the other day so I decided to check myself. Da Vinci gives 9 Mana Prisms and 5 Rare Prisms for a 5* Servant. Unfortunately I don't think there is a single thing in the Rare Prism shop yet

If we stick to the Japan schedule, there's something like 16 Quartz and 7 tickets to be gotten for that period. Hopefully more for us if they try to push some more goodies to get people to try the game out.
---

Rare Prisms look kinda worthless based on the Shop Exchange results I found while searching. Guess there's basically no upside to pulling a 5* you didn't want/don't need unless you happen to do it enough times for that one Servant exchange thing, but lmao that would only happen for whales who are stupid putting any money into these awful rates anyways

At least those two benefit from having their NPs powered up. Imagine getting a second Jeanne. Like, what is even the point? Literally just increases the defense bonus from 5% to 15%. She's pretty much the only one I'd fear getting there.

Still gonna do the paid quartz roll though <_< I'll probably roll once or twice for Jack and Mordred, but probably won't get them, and I'd be pretty happy with most anyone there. Hard for me to even rank them, since they're all so good! Vlad, Tamamo, Zhuge, Jack, Drake, Orion, Mordred, and Altera would all make me pretty happy. Even Artoria wouldn't be too bad. Orion's not my favorite of the bunch either, but I really love her voice acting, so it'd be cool to get her just for that.
---

I actually like having the second Jeanne I got for overcharge and meter storing purposes since she's got the kinda NP that you're not literally spamming off CD.

I'm only going to be disappointed once I get a 4th and 5th.
---

I'd love to get Drake, Waver, Tamamo, Okita or Mordred.

But I'm getting Jeanne or Orion or something that even if good, isn't getting me pumped up.

Like Jack is a fucking amazing Quick assassin, but she's not the one I want to build my team around
---

How much do they want people to pay for that banner summon? If it's less than $50 I will be shocked

Yeah, it'd definitely be useful against enemies that drain NP. It's just...every offensive NP benefits from being NP2 more than it, pretty much <_<
---

For Japan at least, it cost 40 saint quartz that you buy through the store

so not 50 dollars
---

I mean would I rather have a second Jeanne or a second Altera. Altera's is obviously more useful to level but I do use Jeanne a lot more and being able to get higher overcharges on it is actually kinda nice as the regen is pretty cool.

I guess it's still Altera but not by a ton or anything.

Orion (or any Servant I don't want to use ever) singles vs Jeanne dupes though? Easily Jeanne.
---

It'll be 30SQ here, like it's been in all the paid summons since the summon cost was decreased.
---

so like $24 to get that much SQ from the shop (you'll have a little extra as well)
---

Hmm right now there isn't a 40 Quartz option, but the 36 one is almost $25 and the next one up is $40. That's probably way less than people have to spend on average for the 5* they want.

Damn slow phone typing. Do people even get to pick the Servant they want from it?

It's gacha roll, this is why we all joke about getting dupes.
---

Knowing my "amazing" luck I'd get a 3rd Altera though $24 is about $24 more than I'd be willing to pay on this game anyways. Wonder how much Quartz I can save up for Mordred. If she's part of this banner then probably not much sadly :(

What other welfare Servants are there? I've seen a mecha Elisabeth, but I hope there are more who aren't her because Elisabeth is whatever.

Elisabeth Halloween
Oda
????
2017 mecha Elisabeth

Not sure what else exists up to the mecha

EDIT - think I found them. I care about Santa Alter. Also seeing a Shiki, Scathach, Chloe, Irisviel and Jeanne Alter Lily I might care about

There's a Rider Gintoki and a Rider Ishtar. Next Halloween also has a Saber Liz
---

I'm not too crazy about Halloween Liz, but Nobunaga is cool and I can see myself really using her.

Here are some reviews of the other free units:

And reviews of Halloween, GUDAGUDA, and Scathatch servants for good measure:

Why so many Elisabeth? I guess it's great for whatever fans she has, but meh I don't really care about her at all. I don't want Ishtar, but Gintoki might be nice.

Also it's a shame the Santa Artoria and Jeanne apparently suck because they're the two I was most interested in. Guess they don't want to be giving away any actual GOOD Saberface :(

free Shiki all you need

also Kintoki

though of course I'll get them all
---

Never seen KnK, but I like her design more than any of the other Assassin cards I have so she would be the one I use unless by some RNG miracle I end up with Jack

the 40 AP Quest has updated to the Saber version

as well as another gold mat gudao in the shop. I dont have the team cost to use 5 gudaos sadly so not necessary for me (or maybe thats for the best so i can go buy ascension/skill mats instead)
---

I haven't even done the 40AP one yet

Huh? Are you sure?
---

Yeah compared to other games, the free units in this are pretty good.

Kintoki is cool anyway!
---

There were always 2 Gudaos available from the gold mats. Also 2 Skulls.
---

I'm just here for dumb meta-jokes really
---

I'm already at over 100,000 points and just need the gold skull to move on to the 40 AP stages.
---

Hm maybe there was two I dunno, guess I didn't notice/care because I had one drop already and I can't afford the team cost for a 5th one. oh well
---

Got my 2nd Skull so I guess I can do 40AP. Gotta clear both at least once for the reward, but after that which one do I stick with for grinding?

I believe the Saber one is supposed to drop more gold mats though I haven't confirmed it, and since you have a 4th ascended emiya it's probably a pretty good deal for you to do that one

also Nobunaga completely destroys it due to Caesar having riding skill and being divine I believe
---

So far for the 10-20 AP ones Emiya just destroys everybody in 1 turn with his NP. Nobody else has really been all that useful

Quite a few of you guys got Okita huh...must be nice

Oh the 40AP Saber one killed me. Guess Emiya can't carry hard enough. Cu is literally worthless for it, but still my best alternative. Big dragon killed Ushi and Okita since Emiya wasn't getting enough cards to take care of him and Nobu isn't leveled at all since I have no exp cards so she was even more dead weight than Cu. Medusa didn't really get to do anything either. Beat it with a Command continue, but it looks pretty bad for farming unless I can level up Nobu I guess. I guess I can switch some CEs since I don't think the 40AP drops other stuff anyways so that might help too

It drops some points, but the only CE you really NEED equipped is Poster Girl, if you can't do it with Gudaos equipped then yeah switch CEs. Of course the Berserker one is probably easier and I don't think there's a big enough disparity in mat drops between these two.

The later 40 AP ones do have better drop rates though and get harder depending on class advantages
---

Gotta keep ascending nobu to murder all those sabers
---

I'd be having an easier time if I didn't "have" to use event CEs and Servants. That was the only one even remotely close being anything other than super easy though so it's not like they've been hard. Kinda weird how Okita gives the highest bonus and the only stage with Lancers is the 30AP one nobody says to grind lmao

There's a 40 AP one with Lancers only coming, though it's not the last/hardest one
---

I figured as much. So far most of these Servants have no advantage in this event which is pretty bad especially when 2 are literally useless altogether aside from special ones without Saber class enemies. Meph doesn't even seem worth using at all either lol
