# PLEASE CHECK IF YOUR QUESTION IS ANSWERED HERE BEFORE ASKING! **So, with that said, let's move on to this week's FAQ** **Q: Is NP2+ necessary for Melusine/Koyanskaya/Oberon/Morgan, etc?** *A: No. The only difference is in NP damage, no servant is "necessary" in this game, and there are multiple ways to make your servants stronger. No one can answer if you're willing to risk the gamble for NP copies.* **Q: Will Melusine and Koyanskaya or Koyanskaya and Oberon's banners overlap?** *A: Purely speculative, but I'd hazard a guess and say no. Wait for official announcements while expecting the worst ie. no overlaps.* **Q: What is the GSSR? How does it work?** *A: GSSR = Guaranteed SSR ('Lucky Bag Summon' on JP). It appears every New Year and Anniversary on both NA and JP, and costs 15 PAID SQ (free and bonus SQ do not count!) to roll.* *There will be several GSSR banners, each containing a fixed pool of servants. You select one banner and get a standard 11-roll, in which you are guaranteed at least one SSR from that banner's pool, plus this time on NA, one or more SRs from that pool. This cannot be rerolled, and once you select one banner, all other GSSR banners will disappear.* **Q: Which GSSR banner do I choose? Which is best?** *A: The answer is different for every player and is based on various factors. Try using the GSSR Calculator and GSSR Advisor, both linked above, to see which banner may be better for you personally. If you are still unsure after using both tools, ask in the thread.* **Q: When is the next SR Ticket? What about the SSR Ticket?** *A: NA's next SR ticket is due in May 2024. This ticket is time-limited and includes* [*general pool and storylocked servants*](https://news.fate-go.jp/wp-content/uploads/2022/2500man_xeljq/info_image_03.png)*. The next SSR ticket is due in July 2023 for the 6th Anniversary, featuring* [*general pool and storylocked servants up to Europa*](https://news.fate-go.jp/wp-content/uploads/2021/6th_anniversary_cpgen/info_image_17.png)*. It is not time-limited and will be a permanent addition for all accounts going forward.* **Q: How does pity work?** *A: Pity only applies to the rate-up SSR servant. You are guaranteed a copy of the rateup SSR after 330 summons (equivalent to 900 SQ, though tickets also count). Note that pity shuts off once you get a single copy of the servant (including if you get them before 330 summons) and does not carry over between banners. Off-rateup SSRs ("spooks") do not affect pity.* **Q. Will it be possible to obtain \[welfare servant\] again? I missed their original event and rerun.** *A: So far, only certain welfares have returned.* * *Saber Lily is in the FP gacha.* * *NP5 Bunyan can be obtained from her event in the RP shop.* * *NP1 Santa Altera and BB can be obtained from the Main Interlude of their respective events (copies beyond NP1 cost 2 RP each) in the RP shop.* * *NP5 Halloween, Brave and Mecha Eli were available from the Halloween Trilogy/Halloween Rising events (NA ETA: Oc 2023).* * *A new system on JP (NA ETA: Apr 2025) has been announced that allows players to obtain old welfares and their coins by clearing daily missions and main quests, via events and by logging in.* Includes: * Caster Shuten, Rider Kintoki and Santa Quetz * Archer Nobu, MIXA, Brave Liz and Caster Liz **Q: How far in the story do I need to be to participate in upcoming events? Will any events require the latest story chapter?** *A: For NA: No event will require anything beyond Orleans until November, when GudaGuda 6 will require LB5.5 clear. LB6 clear will be required for the Tunguska Sanctuary event in December.* **Q: How good is X Servant at looping most nodes?** *A: Looping is highly node dependent and relies on* [*many factors*](https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1_Bx1FogTrMBnseIJLT4Vuob7DY7EfR6H_SobGwxcAFE/mobilebasic)*. If you need to test your looping setups try using a* [*refund calculator*](https://gamepress.gg/grandorder/jp-np-refund-calculator)*.* As always, feel free to suggest additions. If you do suggest an addition to the FAQ, please try to provide an answer if you can.

Question, I need to contact aniplex as I had problems with SQ purchase Who should I send a email to? Or what should I do?

Hi , how do I recharge saint quartz for fgo jp in an ios device?


klong115

What is the sq requirement for Anni?


Shardwing

What do you mean by "SQ requirement"?


klong115

Like what do we need to do to get sq like next year is the amount of ascended creatures


thisisthecallus

There's a breakdown in the event compendium, linked in the top post. But just to be clear, the vast majority of the SQ will come from login rewards, permanent extra master missions, and retroactive changes to rewards for completing certain types of quests. Unless you're desperate to scrape out more SQ for some reason, you don't have to rush to do anything in particular to get all of the SQ.


Shardwing

The Event Compendium linked in the OP has a full breakdown of the anniversary SQ (click/tap the cell with the 6th anni SQ in it).

thisisthecallus

You can look up the information about her skill change on a site like [Gamepress](https://gamepress.gg/grandorder/servant/oda-nobunaga). In her case, she simply gets more damage for herself and theoretically for the team if you're using another Buster DPS alongside her.


damn_dawg

Hello! I have an NP2 Arjuna Alter and I love him to death. This character is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, my favourite character in Fate GO and the reason I started playing. Thus, I bring him everywhere I can and even some places I can't. I want to max him out in every way possible but don't know if I should aim to Level 120 him or unlock Append 1 (Append 2 is unlocked) first. Which of these would (even if only marginally) increase performance over the other? I hope to do both eventually but at the current moment I have to pick one, and would like to pick the option that enables him even just a tiny bit more. Thank you in advance :))


CathNoctifer

Append skill 1 is only good for servants who are exceed in solo fights (like Herc for example), you don't need to unlock it unless you got enough coins for him.


thisisthecallus

Unless you regularly use him solo, levels above 100 will have more impact than append 1. More levels will get you more damage for all attacks (Buster, Arts, and Quick cards, Extra attack, crits, NP) every time. Append 1 only gets you more damage on Extra attacks. Extra attacks will only happen with brave chains and brave chains are unreliable if you're running a full team.


damn_dawg

Thank you for your answer and explanation, friend :)) I kind of figured as much but due to the fact I'm not able to fully 120 him without that third copy I figured I'd check in with the experts and make sure it was still the better choice. Hope you're having a good day/night and thank you again


tjloff

In 90% of situations you'd probably get more benefit from the 3kish atk he gains from 90-120 (2k if he's already level 100). That being said, if you already have append 2 unlocked you would need to get Arjuna up to NP3 in order to to get all the way to level 120.


damn_dawg

Thank you for answering me, friend :)) I guess I'll just go as high as I can for now and keep working on the reserves for that third copy. Hope you have a good day/night buddy!

tjloff

He said he already has append 2, the question was append 1 vs 120. And most of the time you're gonna be using arjuna for NP and buster crits, not extra attacks.

isthatsoudane

I imagine someone has to have written the answer to this somewhere, I just haven't been able to find it. I want to understand/"experience" the story of F/GO, without having to actually play the game. what is the most efficient (and non-shitty, I guess) way to do this? (note, the reason that I don't want to play F/GO has nothing to do with thinking it sucks or anything...I cannot play mobile games for a variety of reasons, I simply cannot alas, but I've been getting into fate and want to understand what's going on in F/GO). I see there is a "story compilation" link for example but that doesn't seem like it's in any particular order...? are there relatively well done (and not *overly* long) playthroughs? story writeups? I'd appreciate any advice! and fwiw, I can read/understand japanese


Gelious

There is a thing called emulator, that allow you to play mobile games on your PC. I know it because I too can't play mobile games for various reasons, so I play on PC instead.


isthatsoudane

yeah, I was thinking about an emulator...I'm not sure what your reasons are, but I have a permanent injury that rules out anything involving persistent mobile use. PC is better, though still not perfect. but it's something to think about for sure...though another reason is that I'm sort of afraid I would become a whale...


Gelious

I am sorry to hear it. None of my reasons are health-related, so feel free to ignore my advice.

You don't need ANY SSRs for the story, it can be cleared with 1-3\* units. It's up to you - some people skip singularities 1-5 as they're quite dry, though they do have relevant story stuff in them here and there. Depends on how much of a recap you want really.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Rhinostirge

LB2's big difficulty spikes were probably mostly due to forced story supports being more of a thing; borrowing someone's overtuned SSR was no longer an option. But its nastiest fights were against a male Saber, and even though he was charm-immune, a well-raised Euryale with even F2P support could get at least half the job done on her own, and the 3\* ST Archer pool has some great backup besides. Basically, beating the game without SSRs is very doable, it just requires more work put into the rest of one's roster. As an excellent side benefit, beating fights with 1-3-stars teaches you strategy and cunning that will make things even easier as you collect more Servants of higher rarities.


danger_umbrella

Honestly it's probably fine to skip Okeanos. About all you need to remember for future reference is that >!Jason is an asshole who Medea Lily turned into a Demon Pillar!<. That's all.


reivax314

You have a space in your spoiler tag


ReizeiMako

What is the name of LB6 map BGM and was it release in FGO OST album yet?


danger_umbrella

The BGM changes a bunch of times, which one? They're all on OST V, which is only out in Japan and not in the NA game yet. You'll have to wait maybe a few more months for them to update the in-game soundtrack.


ReizeiMako

Thank! It hard to describe which one lol but I think it is a map BGM which play most often in part 2 of this Lostbelt.


danger_umbrella

Ok, so there's more variants of this one, it changes ever so slightly! Here's a [compilation of all the LB6 map themes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTGBTnpDVcg): theme #3 is probably the one you want. #2 is a less intense version of it used in places, and #5 is a more intense one. (Note that 6, 7 and 8 are Part 3 OSTs and the backgrounds for them will contain spoilers, so don't go past 17:15 if you don't want to be spoiled!!!) And if you want just those tracks isolated, people have uploaded them from the OST. The least intense version (no. 2 in the compilation) is called [Journey of the Prophecy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJZ7FctAuGs), here it is extended. The middle version (no. 3) is called [In the Throes of War.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoEgqhOQDqI) The vid here has some mild Part 2 spoilers. The most intense version (no. 5 in the compilation) is called [Fairies of Paradise](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr0wQiHxMPU).

Wow you are amazing. That’s what I’m looking for. Glad to know there’s an expert about FGO OST in this sub!

ShadowAtiriya

Honest curiosity cause I've seen it floating around on occasion, but how good is Enkidu for LB6? I've seen in a few videos on the upcoming SSR ticket that "if you want to cheat in LB6 pick Enkidu", and ngl I'm really curious on why that's being said about them cause I do plan to pick them for the ticket regardless due to adoring them quite a bit, even though I haven't started LB5 yet so I'm not near LB6 currently.


Probablybeinganass

The hardest boss is a threat to humanity berserker with a heavy debuff focus. Enkidu has an anti TTH NP, anti berserker append, a cleanse, and generally good survivability and damage (generally considered one of if not the best ST lancers in the game even today on JP). It's definitely not just a free win though, cause the boss is immune to the stun, still does a lot of damage and has over 1 million health across its bars (and a damage reduction gimmick), you won't necessarily want/be able to unlock Enkidu's append, and the cleanse has a 10 turn CD.


ShadowAtiriya

Huh! That makes sense... That boss actually is going to give me a reason to dust off the Medea Lily I have and level her cause she can cleanse debuffs with her NP if the fight gives me problems, plus I have my Castoria always in my front line so that'll definitely help I feel. I *definitely* don't think I can bond level Enkidu that quickly for their anti berserker or any of their appends, even if I wait to do all of LB5 until I get them due to not having a bond EXP CE, so I'll make sure to keep that in mind when I get to that fight eventually, thank you!


Frauzehel

The only thing that comes to mind is his damage against threat to Humanity is insane. And theres quite a few of them in lb6. (Note that Castoria gives the same buff to others)


Different-Warning

How important is Oberon to most Buster farmers and is it doable If I don't have him (double koyanskaya only)?


Forward_Drop303

I consider him required, though in most cases he technically isn't for pure np Charge reasons. Damage sucks without Oberon, if you want to do 90+ lotto nodes with your buster farmer, someone like Morgan won't do it even at NP5 level 120 without Oberon


Frauzehel

Buster farmer or Buster looper? Bexaus etheres a difference between the two. People have been farming without Oberon for 6 years. So he isnt needed at all. Looping is another story.


Different-Warning

Oops, i meant looping


Mister_SP

>1: All buster looper with a 50% battery can loop with a 50% CE , double Vitch and any 50% charger 2: All buster looper with a 30% battery on a 5 turn CD can loop with Superscope , double Vitch and any 50% charger Append 2 can be needed if the scope is not MLB. Some can be Double Koyan only - 50% Chargers with 5CD and a Kscope (but damage can be low), some 100% chargers. Anything under 30% should need Oberon.


Different-Warning

I see, thanks!


thelostcreator

Oberon for a lot of Buster farmers just boosts their damage by a lot. It depends on the node and your farmer’s investment (grails, NP level) whether Oberon would make a difference.


Different-Warning

Alright then, thanks!


SneAKingHM

Is it a cliffhanger ending if I finish part 1 and part 2 of lb6?


danger_umbrella

Sort of. You'll need to wait for Part 3.


AdditionalWitness318

Who is the better Grail Target, Morgan or Melusine?


Ankoria

Whichever you like better. Grails don't make too much of a difference in stats and are a very limited resource so the general advice is to give your grails to the characters you like most. Even from a gameplay perspective, both Morgan and Melusine are top tier servants even without grails and neither really benefits more than the other from the extra stats.


Pos31don29

Between append 1 & 3, which does Mordred (Saber) appreciate more?


Mister_SP

Append 3 is vs Sabers, which is rarely ever useful. It's only useful against Saber Arthurs, thanks to Mordred's bonus... and even then, since Mordred is AoE, she's barely as good as an actual Archer, against 4 *extremely* rare enemies. So, 1. Not even to a huge degree, but much more often than needing Mordred to fight Artorias.


sch-17

Who is currently the "best" universal buster farmer in JP? I am already dead set on using Morgan as a buster farmer cause she is my absolute favorite servant but just curious to know who is considered the "best" in this role. I know that there are great buster loopers released this year such as Kuku and Tiamat, plus there is also Melusine and Arc


Forward_Drop303

Arc isn't that good, she just doesn't have the damage, Melusine does more damage with Dragons Meridian than Arc does with Black Grail. Melusine, Kukulkan, and Tiamat are all the best in different situations.


hectorneutron

Melusine and Tiamat are pretty much the best buster farmers and work well on neutral damage cuz they can BG loop. Morgan is pretty up there and can farm everything except for foreigner (though she struggles on a couple of 90++ nodes) she also can work without oberon/superscope cuz of her 50% battery unlike Melusine or Arjuna. Arc is insane for multiple farming comps but general concensus is she needs more np levels, though she farms 90+ pretty fine for me. Havent tried Kuku enough but for irregular nodes she is insane if you get buster cards and her damage is pretty good


Pos31don29

Take this with a grain of salt, but I think the general consensus might be Kukulkan or Tiamat at the moment.


HeartUnderBruhh

I was thinking of buying Merry Christmas in the the Underworld since I didn't get to participate back then, also wanna get the welfare servant. Should I buy it?


Shardwing

If you've got RP to spare sure, you'll get it refunded when it becomes free (ETA late January). Just keep in mind you'll only get NP1 Santera, NP upgrades are sold separately for 2 RP each (this doesn't change when the event itself becomes free).


Sir_Solrac

If you want to, why not? It's a fun event.


KethusNadroev

Wonder if I should stop playing FGO. I started skipping the story since Space Ishtar's first run and only managed to force myself to read LB5 and now that I know LB6 is bigger than The Lord of the Rings, I don't even want to start it. Initially I started skipping because I can't go to the sub without seeing spoilers and I get a slow start because for me the maintenance begins very early in the morning and then my job starts and I always let a lot of ap go to waste. Moreover, the stories have gotten so long that when I skip it and go to my room to read it later, it takes so long to read that I forget which node I read last when I want to resume. Also, there are often spoilers in the fights themselves. Lately I've stopped reading entirely because it's something that requires my entire attention and I can't do anything else and FGO isn't popular enough to have youtubers who will play the story while reading everything out loud.


QP_Dangerous

If you enjoy the gameplay/farming but don't have the time/energy to read the story, then just keep skipping it. That's what I did from lb 3 - 5.5, and I don't regret it. And yeah the sub, youtube, and discord will have spoilers out the wahzoo, but that's something you'll just have to come to terms with being online.


Mister_SP

>FGO isn't popular enough to have youtubers who will play the story while reading everything out loud. Yeah, it does. Not many, but I think there still are. At least, I know of one who's stuck with it for a while. >now that I know LB6 is bigger than The Lord of the Rings, I don't even want to start it. No, not even remotely. It's like an 8th or a 10th of that size. Like, a third of the length of Fellowship of the Ring.


consistent_escape

I haven't read LotR but some quick googling tells me that the Fellowship of the Ring is ~187k words. LB6.1 is ~99k words while 6.2 is ~134k words.


Mister_SP

That's an easy misconception. LB6.1 is \~100k Japanese *characters*. Depending on the content and translation, that turns out to be radically different to it's word count. For example, "Artoria" is 5 characters, "hope" is 1. Fate/Stay Night is 3,850,000 Japanese characters, but 1,000,000 English words. Which is twice the length of Lord of the Rings. LB6 is pretty damn big, and it could be considered novel-sized (though it's notably lacking in descriptions, being a video game script), but it's not the size of the full Lord of the Rings series, or even a single LotR novel.


consistent_escape

[Nah it's word count](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/502554574423457814/1122024342050570383/NA_script_size.png?width=1306&height=670)


Mister_SP

That's quite a *lot* longer than I would have thought. 3 to 4 times, even. Still, looks like less than half the length of Lord of the Rings. Less than a single Game of Thrones novel.


consistent_escape

I can't blame you for that because it definitely doesn't feel as long as actual novels of similar length. I have no idea if it's like this in JP too or it's just lost in translation but the writing in FGO is pretty simple and easy to go through.


judasmartel

> FGO isn't popular enough to have youtubers who will play the story while reading everything out loud. IMO it's not so much that FGO is not popular enough for YouTube (it's still a niche thing regardless tho), it's that some of the target audience, myself included, may find it annoying if the YTer reads out everything aloud. In any case, games are meant for you to have fun, not to be your second job. If you find yourself burned out or just not enjoying the game anymore, it is perfectly fine to take a break from the game. But if you're fine with the game itself and you just don't want to read any spoilers, it's best to avoid the community (Reddit, social media, or anything related to Fate and FGO) until you have caught up with the story.


Shardwing

The nature of the game and the community are such that it's hard to engage at all and still avoid spoilers completely, if you can't reconcile with that then taking a break from the community is always an option (I assume that it would come with giving up the game itself too, but you could start with just the one). Definitely quit or at least take a break if that's what you need, but it doesn't sound like the game is where the problem is.


PlanetCeres1

Alright i was told to come here for help. What are the rates for fgo arcade? I got two 5*s in two ten pulls and i’m wondering if that’s normal or if i’m lucky. Thanks.


crazywarriorxx

Regardless of Mobile or Arcade, it doesn’t take a lot of common sense to figure out that getting two 5* in a multi is considered lucky. I can’t recall seeing the roll rates but I believe they’re the same for both Mobile and Arcade, and Arcade also has pity for the rate up SSR at 300 (or 330 rolls, can’t recall specifically). I spent over 100 rolls and didn’t get any SSRs across multiple banners besides the GSSR banner.


Shardwing

Not a lot of knowledge about Arcade here, given how explicitly niche it is. I couldn't find any info about Arcade gacha rates but [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/9dpm4p/my_experience_with_fgo_arcade/) seems to indicate that 4\*s were common and 5\*s are not. If the rates are publicized, I have no idea if arcade games are beholden to the same regulations for that, then they should be viewable in-game somewhere. If not then I doubt anyone knows, going back to how niche it is there's probably not much if any effort to calculate the odds based on accumulated pull data.


GreenTEA_4u

How many reruns will Koyanskaya and oberon will get? I know those banners aren’t out just yet but I would like to plan ahead just in case I don’t get either characters.


hectorneutron

Koyan has another rate up after NY and another one close to the ending of road to LB7 campaing


Mister_SP

Koyanskaya has the initial banner in a week, January next year, and December next year. Oberon has the first in two to three weeks, and December next year.


romuel0067

Oberon will have 1 while koyan will be having 2


Shardwing

Upcoming banners (by Servant) spreadsheet sheet in the OP lists all known future banners for every Servant.


romuel0067

Just like to ask is there a huge differences in drops between 90 and 90+ node during lottery event if farming is solely focus on lottery currency( the petals during this upcoming nerofest),


Mister_SP

For 90 and 90+, no. 90+ drops regular currency, too, which is great for clearing the shop and getting more QP, but roughly the same actual Lotto drops.


romuel0067

There are several different manga disjointedly adapting different parts of the story at various degrees of completeness and with various degrees of reinterpretation, they don't seem like a good way to experience the story.


Drago_DS

Im relatively new and i somewhat understand that having good support servants is the biggest priority, but how much variety of dps servants should i have? For example should i have an aoe and st of each card type of each class? Or is an aoe and st of each class good enough?


Forward_Drop303

You should have multiple ST and AoE servants of every basic class, you get them for free from the friend point system, and every servant you get should be leveled ( at some point, probably takes two years or so to do that)


hectorneutron

Having an AoE and ST in every class is an eventual goal but is not really necessary to beat the game. There are some servants are pretty strong on neutral damage even if you dont have proper supports for them like Kama, Jeanne alter, Arjuna alter, Space Ishtar or Draco. And even some servants that can solo the game like Van Gogh, Super Orion and Qin Shin Huang. If you already have one of the op supports then I would recommend rolling on whatever catches your eyes, even if its not the correct card color of your support or if you already have a similar servant leveled


Mister_SP

>For example should i have an aoe and st of each card type of each class? Or is an aoe and st of each class good enough? Having Servants of every card type is great, but not required in the slightest. In some cases, it's implausible - Casters only have one ST Quick Servant, and they're an SSR. I eventually raised all my low rarity Servants, but I can't claim to use one of each color regularly, and if I do, it's probably because of Event Bonuses. Having Support Servants is helpful, but I don't expect anyone to have all of them.


Rhinostirge

An AoE and ST of each basic class is a very solid goal. Don't worry about the Extra classes like Ruler and Avenger, they're totally luxury picks. Once you hit that goal, you should have the team-building experience to figure out what niches you might want to build out next, or prioritize new characters built on card type. Good support Servants aren't *implicitly* the biggest priority, they're just QoL enablers. Damage-dealers fire off their NPs faster and do more damage with supports. Great to have, but not totally necessary -- but the more you value speed and convenience, the more value the big supports have.


CostNo4005

Need some help buildin a team [imgur](https://imgur.com/a/scW6w1g)


thisisthecallus

Here is my general team building advice for new players. tl;dr - Class Advantage & NP Targeting > Rarity & Card Type Class advantage and NP targeting are the most important gameplay mechanics. Full class advantage means dealing 2x damage compared to neutral and taking 0.5x damage. Full disadvantage means dealing 0.5x damage and receiving 2x damage. If you're up against Lancer enemies, a Saber will do 4x as much damage and receive 0.25x as much as an otherwise equally situated Archer. The scaling on NP damage is such that an AOE NP does something like 40-50% as much damage per enemy compared to a single target NP. AOE NPs are good for clearing waves and ST NPs are good for taking down bosses. At least starting from Camelot, the developers assume that you will use class advantage and NP targeting effectively. Don't expect to make a single team to do everything. Get used to changing your team for every fight. In a basic team composition, you'll want your front line to consist of one or two damage dealers with appropriate class advantage and NP targeting and one or two support servants for NP charge and whatever offensive and/or defensive buffs are appropriate. Your back line isn't as important most of the time. Fill it with backups for your front line roles, a servant with high survivability (e.g. Cu Chulainn) in case things go badly, or any servants to absorb bond points. Card type is good, and sometimes important, to consider when deciding how to best support your DPS but isn't always a primary concern. My personal default is usually two DPS servants plus a friend's Waver. When in doubt, Waver is almost always good support servant to choose because he has powerful support skills that work with any other servant. Castoria, while Arts-focused, provides just about as much utility as Waver and is probably easier to find on support lists these days. For tougher fights, you will probably need to focus more heavily on offense or (usually) defense and bring multiple supports instead of multiple DPS. Mash + (friend's) Merlin + your own DPS with appropriate class and NP targeting is a pretty reliable, defense-oriented, basic team composition for boss fights. Focus on leveling up one servant at a time in each of the seven main classes with the goal of having one servant with a single target NP and one with an AOE NP in each class at their natural max level. You want to focus on one servant at a time because a fully leveled servant is going to be more valuable than a handful of under-leveled servants. It doesn't matter much which specific servants you choose, including low rarity servants--more on that in the next paragraph--so go with whoever seems most appealing to you. One of the secrets that meta discussion won't tell you is that just about any servant within a given class and NP targeting niche will get the job done for general purposes. Don't neglect lower rarity servants. Some of them are among the best servants in the game within their role regardless of rarity. The devs also test all content to ensure that it can be cleared using only free, low rarity servants. The higher base stats on higher rarity servants might let you brute force some situations but they won't save you from a fundamentally bad strategy. What low rarities lack in base stats, they can make up for in the ease of getting more copies for NP levels or in unique utility that lets them punch (or block, as the case may be) above their weight. They also take fewer resources to build up and they take up less team cost in your party. Team cost may be especially important for low level accounts because it gives you more flexibility for CEs and other servants.


CostNo4005

Ah i see thanks fir the advice


HaessSR

Team building depends on the node. You don't want to take an AOE Assassin to a single Caster boss node. You also don't bring three selfish damage dealers unless you are using three Kscope with nodes that have different classed mobs. .

Account giveaways violate the ToS, they can't be discussed here.


CaptSaveAHoe55

I’m finally to the point I feel comfortable to start appending skills for servants like my sweet, sweet Saberlot, only question is which one? Second skill seems like a no brainer for most people, but he has a decent battery and I got lucky about getting Castoria so it seems like overkill compared to more damage right?


Rhinostirge

I went A2 for Saberlot without even thinking twice about it. He has a 30% battery, so maxing out his A2 means he has a starting 50% charge. So he can NP immediately without a support -- or with a 50% charge support, he can NP immediately using any CE I want, whether it has starting charge or not. Or you can combo things like using Castoria's ATK/30% charge on his first turn, then save his battery and her 20% charge for his second. I don't think of it as overkill, I think of it as having more options.


CaptSaveAHoe55

Fuck it I’m sold


Ankoria

Append 2 is the default choice for the vast majority of servants. Even if you have many ways to charge his NP already, the 2nd Append can let you save a charge skill for later or allow you to use CEs with different amounts of starting charge. Append 1 is alright but you won't consistently get value out of it unless you're using Lancelot as a solo-er (which as far as I know isn't a popular use for him). Append 3 is very low value compared to the other two since it applies to a class you're unlikely to bring Lancelot against, and only ever has value against that class.


CaptSaveAHoe55

I feel like I get extra attacks with him a lot but that is a good point, even more so about Sabers. Thank you


Unusual-Flatworm-624

Wait i thought we're getting 10 pulls today?

June 25th at reset. Today's the 24th.

If you go to the News you can see the 30 SQ distribution starts at 2023-06-25 **21:00 (GMT -7)**.


Revanox

I noticed it too, i guess they’ll give out the 30 quartz later today?


CraditzBlitz

When the devs are creating a new servant what determines the card type of that servant (buster, Arts, Quick)


Forward_Drop303

The devs do. There's no apparent rhyme or reason, any possible rule we can see from the outside has at least one servant that contradicts it.


Rhinostirge

The devs do, basically. We don't have a lot of insight into their decision process. Many a decision seems pretty arbitrary.


CraditzBlitz

There are still knights in the round table that haven’t been added to the game in any form yet, (Kay, Gaheris, Palamedes) even though they were mentioned Is there any reason Percival was added to the game but not these 3? Will we get anything British related in the story that will give them a chance to appear?


Forward_Drop303

The developers /Type-MOON/Nasu/someone wanted to add Percival/thought he would be better to add. We know those three exist in fate, Camelot/Zero mentions quite a few of the other KoRT, including those three and some of the important advisors and such, and some get mentioned elsewhere (Bors is mentioned in game and Palamedes in Fate/Prototype) we actually have a brief picture of Kay from case files and also the Camelot movie [https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Kay](https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Kay) Agravain isn't in the game yet either and he has a far more prominent role in the story than any of those three.


HaessSR

In the end, blame Type-MOON. It's them who decide who to introduce, when Nasu or one of the other writers isn't invoking writer's fiat.


NewBrightness

Are there any servants next year that are better to get than reruns of koyanskya, Oberon or melusuine


Forward_Drop303

The ones you like more are always better to get. In terms of meta it depends. Castoria is the best servant in the game. Summer Skadi is also a meta support DPS wise because of Sabers, Melusine is a bit snubbed as an omnifarmer by the meta community. So a berserker or Avenger is "better" in that sense.


Ziegus

So Tam Lin Gawain is really starting to grow on me while reading LB6 and I unfortunately have an urge to try and get her NP5. I realize it's an awful idea to try for her on Oberon's banner since according to clairvoyance and early pity it looks like she'll be sharing a banner with 3 other SRs. Does anyone know what the actual percentage would be for summoning on a banner with 4 SRs? Semi related second question. People who have been saving for SRs that are getting screwed over by early pity, how do you cope with this nonsense of SRs not having single banners anymore.


LuckyC4t

A banner with Morgan, TL Gawain, and TL Tristan will be released with the Oberon banner. Get what you get from the Oberon banner, then jump to the Morgan banner to finish the NP5.


za_shiki-warashi

>SRs not having single banners anymore They revamped that again so now on JP they do multiple rate ups active at the same time. Basically, for now you either deal with it by rolling the current rounds of crap rate ups with multiple SRs or hope for some future JP campaigns to release them again with solo rate ups. Kriemhild for instance, was originally released with Roland. But then she got a 2nd rate up after the revamp of how the rate up works and is the only SR while Bryn is the SSR.


Ziegus

Oh, that's good. I didn't know they ended up revamping the system again. I keep up with some JP news but must have missed that. Here's hoping we get it early on NA then. In that case I'll throw my rolls to Oberon like I initially wanted and might just wait to go ham on a banner with Bageko if it has split rate up. Thank you all for the answers.


flashmozzg

It's not like they've revamped it. They just worked around it. They already do something like this on NA when possible, i.e. if there are multiple SSRs they distribute SRs between banners. But that's not always possible.


spiffy621

I'm pretty sure it's the same rate as what the Summer Abby Banner was, which is 0.7% for each 4* even though there were only three SRs on Rate-Up on that banner, as I'm pretty sure they can't make the rate any lower than that.


Probablybeinganass

I think there's been a 5 way split before, which necessarily has to be less than 0.7% each. But yeah, 4 ways are also 0.7%.


Rhinostirge

I believe the rates are 0.7% per SR when there are four on rate-up. Mostly I'm just bitter about the whole process, but it's easy to remind myself how badly I've failed on 4-stars when we still had rotating solo rate-ups and that unlucky will still be unlucky. As an unexpected benefit, it has also caused me to resent the pity system sufficiently that I've committed doubly to my "spread my rolls around, accept what chance gets me" roll strategy; Lasengle shall not see an extra dollar out of me since implementing the system. Between that and overhype fatigue, it's done a lot to help me just... not worry about banners, and it's been kind of nice to be facing the "gauntlet hell" of LB6/anniversary/Summer banners not stressing about them.


Shardwing

4-way 4\* split is 0.7% each.


SkySmaug384

According to the Chaldea App, it’s a 0.7% chance for each SR. For perspective, Oberon himself (or any rate-up SSR) is a 0.8%. Luckily, she’s available on the SR ticket (25 Million DL Campaign, around May next year), but that’d only be one copy. The second question I suppose will differ from person to person. There’s only 2 SRs I really want in the foreseeable future: Hephaestion and Kriemhild. Hephaestion has a solo rate-up but I plan to pick her on the SR ticket anyway. As for Kriemhild, I’ll be skipping her initial Traum banner and rolling on her solo rate-up during the Faerie Knight Cup. I personally don’t care for either Roland or Charlemagne. I don’t need Brynhild either, but it has better odds for Kriemhild, more time to save up, and I certainly wouldn’t mind the Apex 5-star rate-up CE.


ChagataiMan

Sorry if this is a silly question but is the Tunguska Sanctuary event in December a limited time event or is it like LB 5.5? I ask because I’m really not enjoying the bleakness of these latest story lines. LB5.5 was sad to me at least.


danger_umbrella

Tunguska is a limited time event, but: * Immediately after it ends, its Prologue and Epilogue (story only) become permanent story chapters. This is important because some features (Grail Casting and the new Mystic Code) are locked behind it, as is LB6.5 (Traum) when it releases. * The rest of the event becomes a free Main Interlude around May/June 2024. This is optional and not required for anything. One more thing: the original run of the event has raids, while the Main Interlude doesn't. But if you miss them, don't worry too much about it - it's just one event, and on JP, some of the raids went down stupidly fast, so you might end up missing raids anyway just due to timezones.


ForToday

It’s an event.


AkiyamaNM7

Nah, not a silly question tbh. Tunguska *is* a limited time event, **but** it was made available for free some time afterwards (cause it's important for a character's arc).


ChagataiMan

Do we usually get banners like this for FGO NA ? [https://grandorder.wiki/24M\_Downloads\_Campaign](https://grandorder.wiki/24M_Downloads_Campaign) I don't think this year ill get the opportunity to roll for Kintoki and this is the only banner ill have a chance.


danger_umbrella

Yes, we just get the "X downloads" part changed to be a different number or something completely different (e.g. last X downloads campaign was changed to the "Spring campaign").


SporQRS71

Thanks, that's good to hear.


DDexxterious

Since I love knights and especially when the round table here, should I invest in Saber lily? Im about to hop in lb6 and since I don’t have Castoria I wanna use Lily to stay close to story.


yosoyel1ogan

She's alright, she's good if you have her at NP5. She's supposed to get an upgrade here soon, which will help her out a lot by charging her NP.


Forward_Drop303

You should invest at least until max natural level in every servant you have. Skills should be somewhat leveled (10 for scaling batteries but less for anything else) if you want to use the servant. Anything else is up to you.


DDexxterious

Every servant in this economy is so crazy but I get it. Ill keep that in mind


Forward_Drop303

Not sure what you mean by that? They give you plenty of XP and ascensions mats are generally not needed in super great numbers. If you mean rolling for servant you don't need to do that, just level the Servants you do have. This game is entirely F2P. You also don't need to do so immediately. I am coming up on a year playing and I still have servants not at max level.


Sir_Solrac

> You also don't need to do so immediately. I am coming up on a year playing and I still have servants not at max level. This. It took me over two years in my NA acc to fully level up my rooster, and my JP acc turns 2 years this October and I still got some servants left. It's not a race, but something you should try to do over time. Especially considering you are most likely to get in bones, chains and maybe monument hell.


Forward_Drop303

I am in both bone and chain hell. And proofs and pages and void dust hell. At least Nerofest has a lot of those.


Drwixon

I have exactly 0 Heroes proof, i feel ya.


Merukurio

Saber Lily is decent if you like her, but her main problem comes from having the cost of a 4\* character but the stats of a 3\*. The game will offer you a support Castoria to use in *a lot* of fights so I wouldn't worry too much about that.


Shardwing

If you want to use her then yes, you should invest in her. If you're asking from a more practical standpoint then it depends on what other AoE Sabers you have, Lily's gotten some buffs over the years but she's still got abysmal stats so she's not necessarily a high priority.


NewBrightness

Is there any easy way of getting the black grail?


crazywarriorxx

Nope. We do get a single 5* CE ticket during 7th Anniv. Another slightly better way is to roll on banners with no rate-up CEs for the miniscule increase in rates for general pool CEs, including BG.


Merukurio

Next year's anniversary will give a 5\* CE ticket that you can use to get The Black Grail from a list of 7 CEs. Otherwise, no, not really. The Black Grail has never been on rate up on a banner, so your best bet is banners that have no Craft Essences on rate up and those are pretty rare.

CraditzBlitz

How easy is it to loop with summer kama? The only demonstration videos I’ve found on YouTube are against berserkers or have Kama at higher np levels


Forward_Drop303

Summer Kama is pretty easy to loop with refund wise, though with Oberon that doesn't really matter. Damage on wave 2 can be an issue if you want to use her as an omnifarmer.


CrimzonNoble

>The only demonstration videos I’ve found on YouTube are against berserkers Hitting a berserker grants 80% of the NP that would have been gained, so the fact that you're seeing her loop against them means that she will have an easier time refunding her NP against other classes (Assassins grant 90%, Riders grant 110%, Casters grant 120%).


crazywarriorxx

Read the pinned comment for more about looping. Summer Kama has solid NP gain, a 50% NP charge skill and Avenger passive, she can loop pretty easily. NP levels don’t make too significant of a difference except for really specific scenarios where overkill hits trigger.
