Oh I read all of the first book story bits, but when time was closing in on me and I just wanted to finish, I skipped the 2nd books from the dog club and the medical club. I spot read a few lines while skipping, didn't look like anything particularly fun or funny. I still question their decision to act out that whole play as a "dubbed" dog movie where the was no actual dub. Like who would actually want to sit there through something like that? I'd rather a 2nd part about Alter Idol doing cosplay.

Yea I got that too I think, his dark hoodie look?

I'm bummed that we didn't get Barghest's actual swimsuit as a costume. All of her outfits are kinda out there. I ended up getting like 11 copies of her before I quit rolling.

I think it was the dark hoodie. Barg didn't like me that much and only got her to NP2.

I want the alternate castoria we saw only the one time in the event.

Spoiler

At least we got the Skath ruler one though.

The first medical book, their measurements were based on Altria castor and used her as a unit. Something weighed 1.2 Alria castors, etc. Then they had their "conversion chart" in the appendix so people would know what one "Altria" was. She did not like it.

Jesus fuck, that new fight was insane. My immortal team on the boss kept getting wiped, finally RNG was on my side where I avoided the 3-turn NP Seal. Thank fuck they let you retry from the current Battle and don't make you start all over.

I used Auto Select for the rest, but made sure to use Morgan/Castoria/Merlin for the final.

 

[Pejo]

Quick question - Are these locked to Ordeal Call? I couldn't find any info on how to complete these.

Yeah, the Bleached Earth free quests unlock after you finish LB7 and the Ordeal Call prologue.

I haven't tried that 1 yet...

I did get the other challenge quest done without using any command spells.

 

[Pejo]

So those quests have me working through LB6 (part 2) again.

I just whooped Baobhan Sith and Beryl at the ball with NPC Castoria - How much do I have left before the end?

 

[Pejo]

Well gents, I finally did it. Holy shit that was a long as fuck chapter.

Really hype though, great story. I felt like the last sections were really rushed feeling, but still a nice ending and a good tie-in with the main plot. They also focused on Aurora a bit much, IMO.

Also, poor Baobhan Sith, Cnoc, and Melusine. That was some feel-bad comedy/tragedy with their stories. I didn't find too many of the fights challenging. Mostly the ones that you're forced into shitty NPC party formations. I had a bit of a hard time with Barghest, and Cerunnos would have been a pain, but I made my team comp specifically in mind to beat him by using a leyline stone, so that one was actually pretty easy. It was nice to be able to use my foreigners that usually gather dust. Yang Guiffei was the MVP for the most part. Strong vs. Berserkers and Pretenders.

But yea, now I understand more references from the recent Summer event.

Hey deanote666 - I still don't understand what your profile pic guy did. As far as I read/remember, he was just one of those faeries from the village in the woods. I kept waiting for him to come back and do something plot relevant or actually be someone else in disguise, but it never happened. You're going to have to explain like I'm 5, what did you like about him?

Anyways, I also unlocked that 2nd swap Mystic Code, feels good.

 

[The Sum of Zero]

Congrats. Now, you just have Tunguska, Traum, and LB7 to go before you get to Ordeal Call lol.

Tunguska and Traum aren't very long. LB7 is decently but nowhere near as long as LB6.

The game actually let me skip Tunguska and Traum, I can go directly to LB7 if I want. But yea I'm not in a rush, I'll just keep chipping away. I did the Tunguska prologue/epilogue so I spoiled myself accidentally that we kill Koyanskaya and she lets us go afterwards instead of taking us down with her. I'll probably go through both of them before I start LB7.

I have more stuff to say/ask about LB6, but I'm too exhausted right now. Time for bed lol.

You could go directly to LB7, but the first scene is a direct continuation of the last scene of Traum, so I'd recommend doing it first. But yeah, get some rest lol.

I mostly did it on a whim. No real reason. I played it up a bit to try and encourage you to keep playing.

I would strongly recommend doing Tunguska and Traum first.

There there's some references to Tunguska in LB7 but aren't Earth shattering. The main thing is the event that occurs right at the end of Tunguska.

LB7 picks up immediately at the end of Traum so you won't know what's going on if you don't do it. Plus there's a big revelation for one of the main cast in Traum.

 

[deanote666]

I had a decent time with this quest. Only 1 character got knocked out in an earlier round.

Didn't get any NP seal like The Sum of Zero mentioned and just spammed NP.

Used a command seal on the last turn to cheese it though.

 

[The Sum of Zero]

FINALLY pulled Caster Illya, after all these years.

2026 NA server banner map. I know it's early, but I just repost these, so I post it when I see it. Click to embiggen.

 

[Pejo]

To be honest, I don't know a lot of the servants on this list. I didn't pay attention to JP the year that all of this stuff released, so I don't even know who they are. Definitely need that Ushi Gozen though. Might try for more copies of Beast Nero too, on her rerun. I ended up using her a lot more than I expected to.

 

[deanote666]

But did you do it again to get rid of the red ! mark?

Also, Sitonai has a debuff block skill so that might have helped?

 

[Pejo]

I saw JP is having a Habbycat FP rate up in a new event. Have I already missed one of those in NA version? After I beat LB6 I spent about 800k FP and only got 1 additional copy (still no 2nd copy of Angry Manju either).

I was surprised she had a damaging NP. If I recall, the story variant was a buffing NP.

 

[Pejo]

Nice. First 11x pull. Went from disappointed to "oh, ok cool" to "hell yea!" as I was watching the gacha animations.

Single target Quick Foreigner... Hmm... As much as I like her design and all 3 ascensions, I think I'll take my good luck this time and bow out without going for NP2. I need to stop wasting Quartz/money going for stuff I'll never really use.

I actually had no idea she was going to be a playable servant after the Summer event. Pretty cool honestly, to take a minor character with a few minutes of screen time and give her a follow-up event from a limited time summer event.

Oh, I realized what it was. It was one of her skills.

Spoiler

Unparalleled (Fire Shard): Increase own Critical Rate by 10% (2 turns). Inflict NP Seal for all Saber, Archer, Lancer, Caster, Ruler, Avenger, or Pretender enemies (2 turns). Decrease Healing Received by 100% for all enemies (1 turn). Inflict Burn on all enemies (Removable, 500 dmg/turn).

The game did warn some classes would be at a disadvantage.

I think I got inflicted with burn the first time.

Did she have resistance towards burned enemies or was that a different wave or mission?

 

[deanote666]

Did I miss something in the new TOS/EULA regarding the possible end of the game?

Never had so few support servants with event CE...

Managed to get air girl NP2 with relatively few pulls.

This is the first event I have had to turn off event CE support because there aren't any...

I think Anni/Summer ruined most people's savings, so this is mostly a save/skip period. Hell I only have a handful of the 3* CEs from the FP summons (Habetrot NP3 now).

New 3000 day stuff going on, lots of rewards and there will be a 4* selector ticket that you can use on anyone (even limited characters) up until this most recent summer banner. I'm not entirely sure who I'm going to pick.

Full list is on this page:

*edit*

Nevermind, looks like anything from the end of 2024 backwards. I noticed Tlaloc isn't there either.

Ok after looking at the list compared to what I have, here's my dilemma.

My only NP1 servants in the list that I'd possibly pick are Bryn (Summer), Kiyo (Summer), and somehow Lalter. I could have sworn I had her at higher NP levels. Hope I didn't accidentally burn a NP5 copy down the road at some point.

Then NP2 Would be Yu (not very good), Nito (Summer), Anastasia (Summer), Illya (Summer), Fujino, Anne & Mary (Summer).

Outside of that, the only ones I use that I would consider higher than NP2 are Gorgon, Nagiko (Summer), Carmilla (Summer), Batty (Summer), Fran (Summer) at NP3 currently, and Corday (Summer), Mordred (Summer), Murasaki (Summer), Martha (Summer) at NP4 that I would consider maxing out. I would say Hephaiston too, but she's general pool so I'll get spooked by her eventually. I wanna stick with limited.

I realize nobody cares about my thoughts on this, but it seems a good a place as any to get it out of my head so I can review it.

As of now, I think Summer Kiyo or Summer Anne & Mary, but we'll see how I feel with the ticket in hand.

It feels like the servants locked to the story summon are more rare than the limited banner servants but I could be wrong.

Good to see you're a person of culture from that list.

Not sure who I'll go for. Possibly one of the saber alters due to their rare banner appearances. Mordred summer and Kiyo Summer have a special place for me as being part of the first summer banner where I didn't get either 4* or the 5* on that banner the first time and then getting NP6 Tamamo summer before Mordred Summer NP2 on the rerun.

Out of your list, I'd say I use Batty Summer the most since she seemed to get a lot of event damage bonuses.

 

[The Sum of Zero]

I'm going for Kriemhild. Purely for waifu reasons.

Quoting one of my discords.

THEY HAVE BROKEN SOMETHING,
Do not make your SR ticket Servant permanent (if they're a new one). It blackscreens you forcing you to close the game, and then you can't log back in.

It happened to me after the battle where I got Kriemhild to bond 3 (Bond 3 and Ascension 1 are needed to make them permanent). I was wondering what the hell had happened. Closed the game and reopened it, every time after clicking the title screen I'd be stuck on a white screen.

Ended up having to uninstall and reinstall, thankfully I had my transfer code handy.

Good reminder to always have a transfer code.

I generate a new one as soon as I use the current one.

deanote666 Pejo Issue is fixed. Lol, Pejo being behind helped here won't have access to these quests until you clear LB7 and the Ordeal Call Prologue, anyway.

We have confirmed an issue where the game may freeze on a white screen after you clear a quest on the Bleached Earth with the ★4 Servant you exchanged for through the 3000 Days Anniversary Celebration Campaign in your party before they have officially joined.

And a measly Golden Fruit is gonna be given out as compensation.
