Board 8 > Fate/Grand Order Topic 7: Santa Alter is Super Early

(+) Yeah! (+)

Don't know much about him, but EMIYA Alter looks incredible
---

---

....why does THE Artoria give such low bonuses? :/

Does that stack if I have multiple people?
---

Also no Jeanne bonus! I know she isn't a Saber but neither is MHX
---

MHX claims to be the definitive saber though and wants to wipe out the rest which is why she's boosted (also being the new servant if you have the more cynical view)
---

Well jeanne is the definitive saberface
---

but it's about being in the Saber class
---

The event's not about being Saberface. It's about being Artoria herself.

The bonuses are based on the summon banner. MHX, Nero, and Alter get the biggest bonuses because they're on the Saber Wars banner. Next is all the Gold Servants, then the Silver ones. They want to incentivize people to summon here and hopefully get more money. That's the way it is for most event bonus characters: the ones on the banner get the biggest bonuses.
---

Then what the HECK is Gilles or Ceasar doing there
---

They are in the bottom tier because they're the most common, like I said...
---

I really hope I don't pull another Altera. If I get trolled by her card a second time I will probably just delete her >_>

Yeah, but Artoria is the Saberface origin and she barely provides a better boost than garbage guys like Gilles and ugly Caesar. There are literally 4 5*s there (one of which is way way harder to find on a banner) that barely provide better boosts than those losers >_>

So even after explaining all that you still don't get it? Are you really that slow?
---

I get that they want people to spend money, but uh every character has been featured a couple times at least aside from MHX so people would probably mostly be spending for her. It's kinda shitty to people who spent on Okita and such too if they're barely worth more than a Caesar, but that's how gacha games go unfortunately. I'm glad I'm not one of the suckers spending tons of cash on these things.
This and Dokkan were in the top 5 money making mobile games of the year in Japan, but Fate somehow had way more money spent than even something as huge as DBZ

Uh people don't roll for Okita just in hope to get bonus during Saber Wars, or at least I don't think so...
---

Yeah, Okita got her bonus in Gudaguda.

FGO made something like $900M in Japan alone last year, so yeah, it's pretty ridiculous.
---

There are so many whales in Japan. There's a Dokkan guy who quit recently and he was spending like $40,000 a month on the game. $900M and they can't even do better than garbage tier pull rates. I mean I don't blame them for not doing it since fools are clearly paying like crazy. This game is sucking so many Waifu fans dry

What happens to these people when the games get shut down someday? Do they shut down, too?
---

they're invited to a private resort
---

They get to fondly look back on the tons of money they spent and realize they could've bought mansions, fancy cars and harems instead of digital cards they can never use again because the servers are dead

They find another game to whale on. That's really the reality of it. Some people do spend for the thrill of the pulls.
---

I want to roll in JP but surprisingly enough there's no banner yet...maybe because the New Year's Paid Gacha is coming really soon but still.
---

I'd imagine the current story in JP has something to do with the lack of a banner.
---

Oh right. That thing. v_v
---

What's a good stage for ghost enemies?

I've bought plenty of games I've never gone back to and don't regret the buy. I guess being able to is cool but the reality is most of my games aren't too different than a shut down gacha would be.

Granted I don't pay thousands of bucks on a game-- but I don't on gachas either. If I did though I probably wouldn't regret it unless I was overextending myself to do so. Like that fake Brave Exvius Reddit poster.
---

Yeah, that Exvius post is annoying, given that some whales have gone through real problems.
---

Finally going through London and oh yes a Mash upgrade. Gotta level her up some when I can

As far as I can tell Mordred sadly has no special My Room lines. Was hoping there would be something if you managed to summon her and Artoria :(

http://fate-go.us/news/?category=NEWS&article=/iframe/2018/0101_newyear_cp/

new year presents. 18 quartz, 18 apples, 3 summon tickets, 18 exp cards
---

Woo more resources towards Saber Wars.

rolled with a free ticket before the new year.

Karna.
so now i've two 5* Lancers too.
---

'Grats!
I still need a Gold Lancer...

Got nothing from the Quartzes and tickets in NA and JP. But on the positive side, I can focus on the servants I have now.
---

Think I'm a little over halfway through London now. I just finished Chapter/Section 8 or whatever you want to call them

Since people like talking about them some times, here's an early 2016 jp tier list


---

Arturia seems too high
---

why
---

I have none of those :(
---

I can see Artoria being pretty high because she's one of the best group destroyers in the game.

she's alright right now because no one has gotten their interludes to strengthen nps and skills, etc.

not that tier lists matter, but Artoria is the lowest ranked servant of ALL 5*s in current JP.



it is fun to see what people thought before though. and again tier lists are just for fun anyway.
---

Characters change and content changes over time. Tier lists are relevant to their time.
---

Guessing Drake ranked high more for her wave clearing abilities.

She's not too strong against some of the harder content. I didn't realise Gilgamesh started off so poorly back then.

It's not that

It's that Drake has a double buff that means even the shittest AoE NP is gonna hit like a truck if you have her. She also generates a shitload of stars that she then uses to blow you up. Very self-sufficient Servant that's never really bad.
---

Anybody know if I need to be done with London to do Saber Wars? There were a couple things in the past that had clearing the latest story section as a requirement

man I still haven't finished Okeanos
---

Damn still have another day before Berserker mat farming. Once I get those 2 Octuplet Crystals I will only need exp for Mordred since I have all her final Ascension stuff.

---

Oh my god I'm missing a heart and didn't realize it. That's 2 days I gotta wait now :(

There are Hearts in Saber Wars, so it's probably better to get them from that...
