Support NeoGAF

[kitsunelaine]

See for FE: Heroes I can understand why someone may do that because of the added RNG of bane/boon. So when someone goes "Is my *5 Lucina with -ATK and +HP good" that is a legit question.

But for most other gacha if you get a 5* or multiple 5*s it is going to be good.

Unless you're in FFBE and you pull an off banner Dark Knight Cecil.

No I'm not bitter.

 

[A.J.]

Should I save my quartz right now for a better banner to pull from?

 

[Deadly]

I've managed a Jeanne and a Atria Saber so far but no Waver

Also since the choose-a-free 4* is a seperate thing, we technically should be aiming for Emiya/Berserker in the first 10-pull and get whoever we didn't get when they send out the free one right?

 

[OVDRobo]

The only banner at the minute is the ever-present default 'story' banner. Whatever events happen or don't happen, this one will always be available so hang onto your quartz until a servant you like gets a featured banner.

 

[Draxal]

I had no idea. I just always see it in the top 10 grossing on the JP app store and figured there must be a ton of gameplay there. I really like the part where you play it.

To be honest, alot of people like the story.

 

[MicH]

I think I got a good roll.

 

[Skyfireblaze]

To be honest, alot of people like the story.

I do, all this technobabble about time-travel, magic and technology gets me interested

And serious question since I'm only a gatcha-casual, since people say rolls aren't that important here, rerolling to get a 5* isn't that important here to the point I won't start to run into a difficulty-wall unlike Fire Emblem? (Without my 5* Lucina that game would have destroyed me...)

 

[Wyndstryker]

To be honest, alot of people like the story.

tbh the story is already better than 90% of whats out there from the prologue alone

 

[Uthred]

So no way to reroll quickly other than the marginal boost from linking an account to a second instance of the game?

The only positive point is that a Japanese person could see the shift from "sempai" to "master" and know what that entails. Instead, you've introduced a term that lacks relevance both culturally and from a story perspective when viewed from your target audience.

I think its unlikely that the target audience for this game wouldnt be familiar enough with the terms for it to have narrative relevance.

I've heard mixed things to be honest.

Azusa and others swear that all the story events are easy to clear, but others are telling me that there is a shit ton of grinding for ascension mats and other stuff.

For Fire emblem, there is arena and tempest meta which definitely needed as many good units as possible, much more then this game. But at the same time, one doesn't necessarily need to be the best in fire emblem arena or tempest as well.

There's no arena or anything like that in this game.

You will be fine. I'm playing on jp server and I skip all the story. I like the gameplay too.

You don't need any 5* of your own. However, they do make your life easier with powerful units like Jeanne/Waver but there are budget alternatives for those Servants (such as Andersen, one of the best low cost support units available alongside Mash). There are people who kill end-game bosses using full bronze or silver team without any problems as well..

Remember you can add friends and use their 5* if you need help.

 

[Foxy the Fox]

Is ok to use items to level up mashu and stuff like that?

I mean, i really like her but I dont know if she is actually usefull.

 

[xequalsy]

For Craft Essences, is there a list anywhere about which ones are useful? Should I be keeping all of the ones I get or can I use some for materials?

 

[Draggyrider]

Went thru the thread and added all the friend codes I could find. Name is DraggyGAF.

Kind of at a loss at what to do. Should I advance the story or do dailies? I used a few xp cards and can do the 20 AP daily with the help of a good supporter. But getting a master level jump each time kind of makes me feel like I'm at the wrong place. I'm still at Singularity F.

She will eventually become one of your best units.

Hmm I see, so I should be fine with 4*'s for the most part but might or might not run into trouble depending different factors. Well I did grab a 5* Saber as a friend so I have that covered so far and I'm soon at the point where I can make a second 10-pull so I might not reroll afterall. To be honest right-now I'm a bit miffed about FGO anyway since I have to play it on an emulator which kinda sucks the fun out of it. I hope someone finds a jailbreak bypass quick.

Oh and is there any occasion I should save these big EXP crystals for?

 

[Adeptrain]

Okay...my obsession with re-rolling have left me a few 5* spares. So, if anyone wants these, please PM me

5* Vlad account with 4* Herc (Taken)

5* Altera account w/ 4* Herc (Taken)

5* Artoria account w/ Kaleidoscope (Taken)

That was fast

 

[Hubb]

My friend ID is 423,534,505 if anyone has open slots. Thanks for the account Adeptrain, you're awesome.

 

[MMBosstones86]

First pulls got me Vlad. I think I'll stop and actually play.

 

[Kuro]

Guys should I reroll?

Spoiler

;_;

 

[Zafir]

On my 6th or so reroll I got Jeanne and some 5* essence (Heaven's Feel I think?). Don't think I'll bother re-rolling past that. 1% chance is pretty pathetic so I'm sure I could be rerolling hours/days for Waver. Frankly I'm surprised I found a 5* servant so soon.

 

[kayos90]

I just want to reiterate. At the current point right now, if you get a 5* there is no point in rerolling. All of them have their uses and will be good for many months to come.

 

[SliceSabre]

I'm just running with my Tamamo, EMIYA and Saber Lily. I'll be happy that I got a few 5* craft essences I got on my first real roll at the very least.


I love Artoria dearly but I'm not going to kill myself going for a 1% chance of getting her.

 

[commish]

Did some more rolls. Have an Altera + Emiya account available for someone. PM me

Edit: Gone!

 

[AkumaNiko]

Should I refill

 

[Rixa]

Crap. After nice first multi, second gave Caleidoscope but no other goodies.

Reolling continues :/

 

[XiaNaphryz]

I guess I'll jump in on this. The only Fate related stuff I've seen is Carnival Phantasm, lol.

ID is 200,690,009

My tutorial pull:

I'm assuming that's ok? Got a few 4*s in there.

 

[Venfayth]

Is it true you cannot get a 5 star with your initial 10 pull?

 

[leatherhat]

I got Saint Martha and Lancelot with my rolls, I'm gonna go with it.

Sumanai. None of those 4* are exceptionally good. I personally wouldn't worry about rerolling though.

As long as it's not completely terrible, I don't plan on rerolling. Looks like I'm ok in that regard.

I dunno, I still use my Tamacat for farming and mobbing.

D'eon is a half decent tank until

Spoiler

Mashu ranks up due to story reasons

.

Sumanai though? You can't have everything... :V

 

[kewlmyc]

Will download onto my iPad once I get home. How long is the rerolling process with iOS? Is it better to just run an android emulator and reroll that way?

 

[OVDRobo]

Should I refill

You got Heracles who is considered one of the best units out of those initially available. He can carry you through a decent chunk of the game if you invest in him. Nothing else of note, though. It's down to you if you think it's worth throwing away one good unit for potentially several equally as good units if you want to reroll.

That's a pretty ridiculous pull luck-wise. 4* servants are pretty rare so getting 3 out of 10 is pretty good. Unfortunately most of the 4*s you actually pulled aren't that great, but you could get a good unit on your first roll to make up for it. It's probably not worth rerolling if you like any of the characters and want to keep them because you'll probably have less luck next time.

Is it true you cannot get a 5 star with your initial 10 pull?

I'm pretty sure it's true. It draws from a tutorial-specific pool which guarantees 1 4* servant but I don't think it includes 5*s at all. If you want a 5* you have to reroll until you hit that 1% chance on the free 10-pull you get from gifts.

I did end up rerolling and got a 4s archer. i guess i'll just go with that. maybe i wont set up my account yet and do some rolls in my ipad

Edit-

Whelp after the archer refill, I decided to use the login bonus to roll again annnnnnnd

 

[sibarraz]

I downloaded the game, what is worth to reroll or keep?

 

[A.J.]

Is Mash not worth using until she ranks up?

 

[Kuro]

I got Emiya, Stheno, and a Kaleidoscope should I reroll?

 

[InsaneZero]

Servants on my JP account

The difference between my two accounts is like heaven and earth

 

[Baalzebup]

5* Vlad, and 5* Altera on the first proper pull. I guess I should count my lucky stars? The tutorial pull also included Carmilla, who is at least quite amusing.

 

[leatherhat]

Is there any point in saving friendship points or should you just use them to summon?

 

[kayos90]

I got Saint Martha and Lancelot with my rolls, I'm gonna go with it.

Wait... Lancelot is already in the gacha? the hell? Actually this is unsurprising since Benke was also in too.

 

[Ala Alba]

Well, finally rerolled Jeanne (also Siegfried and Marie).

Time to start!

 

[BaconHat]

Wait... Lancelot is already in the gacha? the hell? Actually this is unsurprising since Benke was also in too.

Yeah, managed to get him ealier in one of my rerolls.
I guess the characters lists is bigger than the one that was at the start of the JP release.

 

[InsaneZero]

Use them immediately in the early game. They are your most reliable source of exp and usable Servants right now.

Eventually you'll want to save points for event Craft Essences, but that's a far way coming.

Read the very last part of the OP!

Basically there's two ways to handle this. Since they're giving us a ton of free quartz and the reroll method is pretty painless on Android, you go for the second free roll and see if you have a five star.

Some people are settling just for the first roll, and banking the quartz for later on, If you're attached to this account you can always bind it and reroll and restoring this one later on.

 

[leatherhat]

Yeah Lancelot (berserker class if that matters) is in.

 

[Pureauthor]

Guys for the record, the Kaleidoscope Craft Essence is OP AS SHIT and should be considered easily on par with any actual 5* Servant.

 

[kayos90]

There might me be more 4* in the pool than I thought.
