What's the most useful servant to put my event CE on for friends? Gilgamesh, Vlad, or Altera all at 80?
 
Isn't it kind of a waste to get the CE from the gacha? Or does the extra drop thing apply to all events?

No, extra drops for event CEs only apply to the event the CE came from.

So in this case rolling for the CEs is a waste because the combat effects are pretty bad. But in future events there will be event-limited gacha CEs where both the combat effect and the event drop effect are good.

This is the first time I've done one of these events. Is there anything interesting in it? What's the point of the dumplings? I ran the first mission, but not sure what the point of it is.

5AP is basically Saber enemies so stick it on Vlad or Gilgamesh depending on who has the higher attack. Also put them in your all slot if you're looking for FP.

Oh weird, so at least for this one it's just spoiling the drop table.

Most people will be grinding the 5 AP, so I don't think it really matters among those three at lvl 80.
Why the 5 AP quest? It has the best returns?

Actually, no.

Any event CE in the gacha can't drop, and any event CE that drops isn't in the gacha. That should remain true for all future events.

And the sole event CE here that drops (Moonlight Fest) is the one that's actually not bad for combat.

I want to ask the same question lol.
Unless he's a massive whale and "only" has those after a million pulls then yeah. Else, I can't tell if he's actually being serious >_>.

You have 13 SSRs after 1 year of play and you're complaining? I mean, do you spend money for quartz or w/e?

I only paid for guaranteed gacha last week. Just asked because I have more 1% rate characters in other game in just 2 months compare to this.

The special dumplings unlock more story quests, which in turn unlock more of the free quests. Those quests all have their own reward for beating them once (summon tickets, gems, materials). You can also trade in dumplings in the shop for various items (CEs, ascension materials, Fou cards, etc).

Is it more efficient to run 5AP or 30AP if you only have the Automata?

Someone posted earlier it would be better to run the 30AP once you get it unlocked (grind 5 AP before that) if you just have the initial Automata, and once you have enough to get the first CE in the shop it's better to grind 5 AP at that point forward.

5* CE Luck: EX
5* Servant Luck: E

Oh well least this event will be a breeze now.

I've heard from places like Reddit that Japan's servers were, and can still be, far worse than NAs. Apparently they were showered with apology quartz (and apples), more than enough to offset original cost of summons.
 
Until recently, ranking in the top tier was the only way to get Goddess' Love, which was the only way to upgrade the UR Mystic Artes. Now you can earn one every Soul Arena by getting 800k mana. I would consider that pretty significant since having a UR++ Mystic Arte is pretty much mandatory for a lot of the harder events.

I suppose so, but you really only need 2 of them, and it's insanely easy to rank in the top 500/1000 because of how few people play the game. After you get one UR++ you don't really need any more; I've been using the same Edna MA since her arena came out and have about 14 of those Goddess' Love just taking space in my inventory
 
Does it yield more dango to use a support with Moonlight Fest, or with Moon Goddess' Bath?

It depends. In the 5 AP on average you get about 3-4 Dango drops of, say, 1 Dango, so +3 with Fest it becomes +9 or +12, and *2 with Bath becomes +3-+3, so it's better to use Fest.

In the 40 AP (I just completed it, so I'm using it as reference), I got a single 25 Drop. With Fest it would be +3 so it becomes 28 Dango, but with Bath it becomes +25, so it ends up being 50 Dango.

In practice, unless you're farming for Hearts, I think you'll get way more per AP in the 5 AP with at least two Fest, plus some Automaton.

I think you can only trade rare for normal after event end?

You can trade them for regular Dango since the event started. Although I think it's only worth it once you've unlocked all free missions.

I know the rate is low but I just want to know the average number of servant one would have after around a year of playing.



I've been playing for a year and this is all I have. I wonder if my luck in this game is just low. I've been playing a different game with the 4 star characters have same rate as 5 star in this game (1%) for only 2 months and have gotten more than 16 of those.
It hurts not being able to get the servants I want.

Wtf? 13 SSRs and you're complaining about no luck?

You gotta be trolling.

I've only been playing off and on, mostly just getting the login bonus and not really grinding for anything. Used the quartz I had saved up and I got this, not too bad.

Congrats, great pull!

Enjoy that Oppai-on.

Used one last ticket, because dat luck.

Got Bath.

Well, I can max it after the event now I suppose.
That. Luck. Stahp. Jack is coming!

Has anyone doing the 30AP had a heart drop yet? It seems like the rate is terrible so not sure I'll bother once I get the CE. I'll probs just clear out the shop instead.
No joke, I got a heart drop on the first 30 AP run I did. I'm pretty sure that's the only one I'll receive for the entire event.

5AP is basically Saber enemies so stick it on Vlad or Gilgamesh depending on who has the higher attack. Also put them in your all slot if you're looking for FP.
This is my plan, just need to buy the event CE first. Waver ain't pulling in the FP, so need to switch things up.

Having some luck with heart drops, I've got 2 so far. No caster gems yet though.

Making up for my inability to pull Ninian in FEH at least.

Well I burned 6 tickets on the gacha, and got the 5* CE and the 4* CE and the 3* CE, then 2 3* servants, then the 3*CE again.

Pretty cool, but man I was hoping for a 4* servant I didn't already have, like Emiya or something. Ah well, should be able to clear out the store now at least.

Man, the localization job on this event is superb. If this is what we should expect for the future, I'm happy (though I didn't overly mind most the mistakes in the past).

Now if only "Orion" didn't use the default archer animations...

She'll get new animations and a new interlude once we get the re-run of this event.

Feel like they should've just bundled it into this, if that's possible. I mean I know we're behind and all but the animation updates shouldn't be difficult, surely. It looks a bit bleh that the new servant has default animation.

Eh whatever, minor quibble. Not like I'll get her anyway (beside three summon tickets, not trying anyway).

Yeah, the translation for the event story was great. If this is what we have to look forward to, we have some interesting times ahead.

Just realized that I still need 1 caster gem and 2 assassin gems for the weekly... guess I'll need to do the friday daily for the caster gem :(
 
I tried the Moon Goddess Event for a bit and was kinda lost on the story. I'm assuming it'd make more sense had I gone further on the Story Missions (just arrived in Orleans).

The interactions between the first trio make some more sense after you finish Orleans, but for the most part its just comedy.
 
Did one 10-roll for the hell of it. I know I shouldn't be too picky, but feels pretty bad to get another Heaven's Feel when I would want literally any other 5* CE. At least I got plenty of extra event CEs out of it.

Uh, grinding 5ap quest is so boring. I'm changing my strategy to only farming 5ap when I have time or mood, otherwise just do several 30ap runs and let it recharge.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
Finally have MoonFes on Gilly.

Now go forth and bring me FP.

Finished the event story, really liked it. Localization seemed a lot better too.

But we'll see how I feel after a few days of 5AP grinding...

Will this be worth it? Almost a week of playing nothing but the exact same easy fight, over 50 times per day, all just to get some of the materials needed to ascend classes I don't even have 4*s for at the moment?

It's worth it, nothing else to spend your AP on anyway. You might as well get some guaranteed pieces/monuments for future Servants, as well as a couple additional items such as event-exclusive CE.
