Fate/Grand Order |OT2| That's Hell You're Walking Into

One of Alice Kunoji's NPs (from the JP collab) goes hard. It's the one Ploy of hers we never visually saw in Mahoyo (though she DID use it. If you read the VN, it was in the train station vs. Touko's doll army), Wandersnatch.



This event is totally Mahoyo 2, or references stuff from it that Nasu had planned out (Mahoyo was supposed to be a VN trilogy fyi)

I'm really impressed with the collab so far. On a surface level they look like ultra generic anime characters but each of them seem to have so many references and hidden things about them. Really cool stuff.
 
Okay so, since LB 6.5 Traum is coming up for NA peeps.

If you like Sherlock Holmes, I recommend reading at the very least "The Final Problem" story beforehand.

Moriarty the Patriot anime is unneeded but very good.

You guys rolling for Constantine? I like him and he looks like Super Georgios, seems good for CQ's. Still, I'm gonna pass and maybe get him on a rerun down the road. Too much to save for.

Man first ticket was gold Saber, I thought I lucked out and got Charlemagne immediately, I was ecstatic. Only to find out that there's a 4* Saber named Roland in this banner too. I had honestly never heard of him until tonight. Usual FGO summoning pain.

*edit*

Just gotta use the ol' "complain on GAF" trick.

My first 10 roll had Rolland too.

Got Rolland NP 4, new girl NP 2, and Charl NP 2.

Fell asleep before draining AP to wake up at 4am and saw maintenance SQ in the box and be all like

New ascension/skill materials tied to 6.5, fyi.

Obviously I'm many chapters behind. Do they ever address why Charlemagne looks like Ritsuka? I'm guessing not since all Gudako players would have to have a whole different conversation. Probably doesn't make sense to bring it up anyways since Charlemagne existed since the Extra universe (I think it was Extra).

Probably just an Arco art coincidence.

I threw some tickets and enough quartz for an 11-pull, only got Circe and Roland. Eh, fine.

My poor friend though, he had to hit pity to get Charlemagne.
Having to hit pity feels bad, man...

Probably gets explained since his final form is locked until you beat the newest chunk of story.

Story in 5 and 5.2 are pretty good. Good to tackle them while there's leyline stones active, like now. ;)

In section 8, Kadoc said Romani made an appearance with a warning. What section did he show up with that warning?

Just an art coincidence. He looks just like he did in Fate/Extella Link.

Damn, this is definitely what I'd call "male banner luck", where I don't particularly care for the 5* but end up getting multiple copies anyways. It was 2 rolls after that double Charlemagne. I was trying to get a copy of Don Quixote.

Me rolling more trying to get NP2 than it took to get NP1...

Edit: finally NP2 on a single yolo pull

Got through the first 2 levels of Grail Front without issue.

Been focusing on Traum.

FGO: Kill x enemies in x turns.

Me: *laughs in Space Ishtar*

FGO: You can't use dual castoria.

What's new over the last two years? Any must have banners coming up? Haven't played in awhile!
Not sure on must have banners coming up but you want to get castoria the next time she comes around if you don't already have her. Oberon and koyanskaya light/dark are good buffers too.

LB7 releasing soon possibly. New methods of powering up servant attack cards.

Some past events are available permanently now.

Gatcha now has a pity for the first copy of a 5* character.

If you're looking to get back in and do events, you'll want to start getting caught up on the story. Next event requires LB3 to be complete.

Major storyline involving who your avatar used to be in LB5.2

I'm probably on the exact same story chapter as I was when you left. So there's that.

Some nice QoL including """"pity"""" at 300 banner pulls for featured 5*, and you can make blue apples out of spare AP now if you can't play and don't want to waste it. Also fullscreen support on most phones now, a 60FPS mode and JP just added an Animeplex account binding option (still not in other servers yet).

Also you missed the best Halloween event yet with CinderElly.

Suprised they finally added a pity system. I figured they liked raking money off of whales. I guess they can bait more people into spending if there is something at 330 pulls for sure.

I have Castoria already at NP2. I got her prior to leaving last time. I am also on LB5 Olympus so it doesn't look like I am missing too much story. I thought they would have moved faster.

After Olympus, there's at least 4 more major story lines to get through. Completing Olympus changes part of the game's UI permanently.

That isn't counting the numerous limited time events so there's still been plenty of content.

We finally get Succubus Merlin in a couple months too.

Also, ....

Traum done. They are really leaving a lot of shit for LB7 to resolve. It better be good after all these years we've waited.
It is the final lost belt after all.

The game is still going in JP even though LB7 has finished over there so it must have been satisfying enough that enough players stuck around afterwards to keep the game going.

I've been avoiding spoilers so I don't have specifics on actual plot points.

Every damn one of them is filled with landmines for me except Assassin 2. I'd love extra NPs of the Koyans, but I dunno whiich one benefits more from NP2.

Me choosing which ones to avoid because of how many I have NP5...

For pure NP upgrade from NP1, I think berzerker 1 would be the best choice since it has 2 NP1 but they're units I rarely use.

That other chart has 3 NP1 on the last day.... choices....
 
Probably Berserker 2 for me. I'll either finally get Arjuna Alter or NP upgrades for Summer Musashi (currently NP1) and Morgan (currently NP2).

Berserker Musashi for me. Mine is lv102 with everything else maxed except stuck at NP4. I want to try for NP5.

I thought the banner that started a few days ago was finally Xu Fu only to find out it wasn't her at all. Then I looked up the new servant that dropped tonight on the wikia page. He looks amazing in the art but his model looks so clunky and weird. Also thought it was kinda funny that his NP is basically just unsuicidal Stella.

I think I'll pass on these two, I need to bulk up my Summer savings. Does this event have a welfare?
 
Finally done with the new event, now I can get back to Traum.

Well, the challenge quest unlocks tonight, but it should be easy with my Morgan/Merlin/Castoria team lol

I threw that on my Saber Alter as soon as I got it lol

Ironically, I got NP6 on Tamamo lancer's banner trying to NP2 Morgan...
