Board 8 > So I started Fate/Grand Order Pt 3... ExTha in the Lostbelt

(+) Yeah! (+)

I was going to skip this banner for the other 2 but since I am in stupid good shape right now and still had a bunch of tickets to burn - upon realizing summer gareth had a doggo i felt compelled to roll for doggo.

22 tickets got me Chiyome, Proto Merlin, and Summer Gareth.

the sense of impending doom grows. i can't keep getting away with this. is this what extha feels on every banner? (jk)

Was also going to skip, rolled, and got both Lady Avalon and Gareth in one multi. Hopefully I can still get Skadi and NP2+ Ibuki.

hey I whiffed really badly on Bazette!

Oddly enough haven't felt like playing hardly at all lately. I need to do the event stuff but my heart just hasn't been in it. Maybe this weekend.

If nothing else it's worth getting through the story because it unlocks some facilities that passively give you QP, EXP, and mats over time. Mostly for the first two - the mats so far aren't anything special. But a later one gives Pages so that's better.

I dunno about everyone else, but I need the Lanugos pretty badly (and I imagine ExTha will too, having pulled LA.)

The one tonight is dust which is obviously the most-needed. And personally I need a lot of ice as well

You're saying for Extha, right? Surely you don't actually still need pages? I have like 1000 of those things and we started at the same time.

For ExTha, yeah.

I'm pretty good on basically all mats (except Ashes from Traum, just emptied myself out finishing maxing Kriemhild's skills) because I am a crazy person who plans these things out by seeing what my future Servant targets need and maintaining a stockpile.

edit: and oh yeah dust is always a need lol

I do that and still have huge needs even accounting for what I'm going to get from future events (including lotto boxes and the upcoming Gudaguda grind). Only 8 mats I don't need at all and 11 others that I will get enough of from events. Granted that includes a lot of servants I wanted to get but didn't, and might never catch up on.

Actually that future thinking kinda screwed me in a way, saw we were getting tons of eggs later and used a bunch only to be short for Lady Avalon and Skadi now.

Part of me doesn't want to pull for Skadi just because pulling Lady Avalon has already sentenced me to egg farming hell, and I'm not sure I want to make it that much worse.

(Imagine saving pure prisms, and not spending them wildly irresponsibly.)

I think the best node drops Eggs, so that might help

Oh, nice. Guess I'll be running that even after clearing everything, then.

(Thank god for Kintoki.)

20 multis got me Ibuki NP2, Erice NP5, plus a third Percival and a 2nd Astraea, both great spooks. (My first Xu Fu, too.) I'm happy.

Should have at least 12 multis to throw at Skadi.

40 Tickets got me NP2 Erice and I'm happy with that.

50 tickets and 630 quartz for NP4 Ibuki and NP5 (+3) Erice. That and the easy Lady Avalon makes up for the bad Arcueid luck. Stopping there because it's enough for 120 without much bond and I still want Skadi. Although chances aren't great for her now, maybe 60/40 at best if I do Traum, Ooku and my remaining interludes before the end of her banner.

Also got my passive dust to lv10 already, can never get enough dust.

NP1 Ibuki secured won't go further.
Now guaranteed to get Ruler Skadi.

So it's p much time to hoard for next year as Kukulkan/Tiamat/Draco is gonna exhaust my resources

My history of pulling for meta support characters

Caster Skadi - 3 multis
Koyanskaya - 1/7 chance in a GSSR
Oberon - 2 multis
Castoria - 2 multis
Summer Skadi - 2 multis.

The game knows exactly what it wants me to have, and I appreciate it.

Pity on Koyanskaya, Oberon and Ruler Skadi.
Without pity I would have quit this game by now.

Hit Skadi in 2 multis, took about 300 quartz to nab Girlin afterward.

Now to save for NP2 Junao

Skadi (and NP2 Wu) in 30 Tickets + 60 SQ.

Absolutely insane Anniversary + Summer luck. I'm stunned. Next up, I face my past trauma and once more roll for Van Gogh (but this time there's pity and because of said luck I can avoid the disaster from last time)

I got Skadi in one ticket.

Got Skadi in 127 quartz, with only 14 paid and 10 free left. So basically it took just slightly more rolls to get Lady Avalon + NP4 Ibuki + Skadi than it did to get NP1 Arcueid and a Drake spook. That's just how this game is.

Damn and here I thought my luck on the supports was good. I don't remember exact figures but I remember Tamamo was less than 40 pulls, Merlin was like 16-19, Caster Skadi was the only kinda bad one 100-150, Castoria was around 70, Koyan was around 60 and Oberon was 20.

I'm just so glad I don't have to spend money until November now. I got NP3 Arc, NP1 Lady Avalon and NP1 Skadi. I'm good.

Which valk are you all nabbing?

I went Ortlinde.

Hildr

Hildr. Would have rather had Geirskogul for my second but I don't really care for Ortlinde.

ortlinde gang rise up

Hildr

Poor Thrun.

I'm also going Hildr tho

I like Thrud but her FA is kinda bad compared to the other two and Rindr is the only one of the six whose voice I don't like

I like them all tbh, but bubbly pink haired is an almost unbeatable combo imo

Yayyyy free NP2 EMIYA soon

np1 saber for me

waiting for the mad lads who pick REGEND

Not being able to choose Gil is so unfortunate, considering he's my most wanted (currently available) servant.

Artoria's nice, and I'll be glad to have her, but I already picked Mordred over her when I started the game, and have her at 10/10/10 with a 10 append.

Do not let me change my mind on this. I know Artoria is one of the best itg, but I am really solid on AoE buster servants, and EMIYA is my favorite char in the franchise.

Yeah, if Gil had been on this ticket he'd be the easy pick for me. One of my misses early on in my account.

Picking EMIYA over NP2 Gil would be insanity but I'd still have to do it.

NP8 or NP9 now being required to fully max out a servant is a little absurd

How much for 7200 SQ again?

Was no one gonna tell me that we had an Ereshkigal banner coming up this weekend? Shit.

We all already have our Ereshes!

I need to get her to like... NP3, but it ain't happening here.

also Xuxon, your Ibuki-Douji Saber has hard carried me through the 90++ node lol

It's FSN selector time.

Remember, choosing Kojirou is the only correct moral choice.

picked saber. her and herc are the ones i don't have

I'm honestly a bit surprised. I feel like Hokusai would have been better for you. You have Lady Avalon and Castoria but no Merlin or Koyanskaya, right?

I just got Lady Avalon, but didn't have her fully ascended because I didn't get enough of those fruits until late on in proceedings, also her skills are still level one.

Castoria/Oberon/Ibuki Saber was able to reliably 5 or 6 turn the 90++ node for me.

As someone who's both LGBT+ and autistic, I wish I knew something... why isn't ExTha as hated as a homophobe? He literally uses autistic as an insult, and LGBTphobia and ableism bother me on a personal level.
