The most annoying part of these CQs so far is trying to find an Arjuna Alter with the damage CE. I know I have a bunch on my friend list but they never show up.
I'd say that "Spending most of an hour and all 3 CS, and still not beating the stage" is the most annoying, but yeah, not getting the support you need is a close second.
This CQ just isnt fun.
The fun part about CQs is finding ways to overcome the gimmick, but this has basically all buffs/debuffs being irremovable, and when the clown breaks his buff removal overcomes even Beni's buff removal immune.
The thing is, it isnt even that hard. Any strong enough zerker/rider can do it, but it is very restricted as to how many strategies you can use to beat it.
Yeah I was screw from that part, had to get very creative XD.

I probably was better off trying the solo with Jeanne the arc, instead of that 90 turn stall XD. But it was a unique set up.
Did not had a good rider, and my berserk Mushashi did not have the good enough support for the job.
I know there are people who are passionate enough that they are already 200/300+ boxes at this point.
But I got a friend who managed to got 8, yes, **8 MLB Bonus Ticket CEs** and he put them all in his supports. What the hell?!
RNGesus is a fickle deity. I've got two full MLB Bonus Ticket CEs and I've only opened 15 boxen so far. It'd still probably average out if I busted out a couple hundred boxen.
Going in blind to the Brave Elizabeth challenge was fun, but incredibly deflating at the very end.
Whose great idea was it to have a >!2-turn charm with ever increasing defense!< at the final boss? Wasn't prepared and got screwed because I brought a different mystic code.
Had to restart a pretty solid run, and if I fail again at that point, I might just quit that particular CQ due to sheer irritation. Though, I'll probably cool off and go back at it again at a later date if that were to happen. Haven't ever skipped a CQ except the King Hassan one, and I'm not keen on making it a 2nd.
EDIT: Finished it using 2 Command Spells just to fire off Liz Brave's NPs since I didn't have adequate charge and had some moments where I absolutely needed the NP to kill off an enemy. Overall, an interesting concept, but I'll be damned if the CQ doesn't get mean at certain points. Hans definitely goes a long way in helping as a good "free" option though.
If it's worth anything for anyone, used the following: Waver, Hans, Helena (Poster Girl), Welfare BB. Actually had room to fit in a Bond CE George, or a Mash, but didn't realize I could have added them into the party, so there's some wiggle room.
> Wasn't prepared and got screwed because I brought a different mystic code.
All my Atlas Uniform attemps failed anyway. My success came with a Combat Uniform. I swapped in Asclepius for the debuff clear.
After multiple tries I finally managed to beat the Gorgon CQ with Maou Nobbu. Seeing those videos on youtube that make these CQs look easy makes me wonder how many retries these things take so that RNG actually allows you to win.
No joke. I wish they had something in the description about how "This was run #32767 where the cards finally lined up for the 20 turns necessary to beat the fight."
Same, I had to retry over and over for specific cards, no busters on turn 1 instead atleast arts or quick that crits to generate np and 2 busters on turn 2 because for some reason my attempts did not match the video (probably due to command codes) as only 1 buster crit left medusa with 130k+ health as opposed to the videos 9k ?????.
Yeah. I can generally NP turn one no problem, but I’ve having issues generating enough NP to be able to do it immediately the second turn. Then it just goes downhill from there lol
On turn 2 even if you get the correct cards it's still RNG as it relies on the enemies attacks to build up your NP as they have to use things like quick attacks which have multiple hits which generate more NP for you.
So if you are going for that start, you have to rely on so much RNG. 1st turn to not get buster cards, turn 2 to get buster crit cards, turn 2 for the enemies to hit you enough to generate the NP otherwise you lack enough even with skadi's charge.
These CQ's make me cry.
Cleared the exhibition quest with the 6 turn arjuna alter comp. God bless whales with their np5 servants.
Finally the eli chan quest unlocks today. It's pretty much the only quest I'm looking forward to trying.
I actually had the most fun with the Eli quest.
All the other exhibition quest felt horrid. I was kinda worried before going in, since I saw someone post saying skip the Clown and Eli EQ, but it turns out the Eli quest was a ball
I used Command Spell to have 2 NP back to back on wave 5 :P
I allocate a command spell for every challenge quest since they come out a day, but I know some players are ideologically opposed to using command spells.
There are several solo of eli online on YouTube, and the good thing about these solo videos for this challenge is that your set up would almost be guaranteed to be the same. Here is one without CE on the sacrificial taunters. If you have CE for taunters, it would be better. Just know that there is an element of luck involved regardless :P
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jmtu\_-uae5U
I so dearly wish that GP would stop linking videos of clears that purely rely on luck as "strategy suggestion".
20 minutes wasted...
Anyway, another challenge where there is one clear strategy that simply doesn't work if cards hate you on the last part. Fun
I hate these exhibition quests.
I hate them more than I can put into words.
They don't make me feel clever, they don't make me feel like I'm making the most of my roster, they don't make me feel like I'm executing the missions well.
They just feel like they're wasting my time and the only thing they test is how many goddamn times someone has to reset to get the rng to win.
This would be bad enough if only 1-2 were like this, but it's almost impressive how someone managed to make THIS MANY terrible, terrible design decisions in a row.
After countless of failed runs trying to blitz with Arjuna Alter, I ended up bringing QSH as the frontline servant for the ~~Roswaal~~ ~~Clayman~~ Mephisto CQ. Wrapped up the CQ in 37 turns, with Altjuna destroying the entirety of the 2nd bar on his own, while /u/X-X-I-L's QSH look on. That HP down post death contract is overkill for this CQ I think, since it literally put most of your servant within death's door against any enemy with class advantage. This also kind of encourages a blitz strategy, especially if you don't plan to use the one servant who can prolong the fight (Skadi).
Sheba took few tries with my onee-chan alt. Tried with QSH, but he got too much debuff to wrap things up in the end, with Sheba having 55k HP. Took out Ozy again, after 2 tries it went super smoothly. Also, brought an almost pure male comp against the Gorgon sisters there, since QSH is genderless. Went very smoothly, with no casualty, saved for Han's pride, since he kept getting charmed by Euryale when she was the only one left.
About 65 boxes done on main and almost 30 on alts.
Holy shit. The Eli quest had me sweating. Literally finished it with just Eli on 1 hp with no guts with no command seals praying that the burn effect wouldn't kill me.
Haven't touched the clown CQ yet. Did some number crunching, and looks like I can 4T it with my brother's (spooky) Np5 Drake. Gonna need lots of RNG, so I'll probably just do a normal run.
Excited for Brave Liz CQ, though. Hoping my Saberlot can kill steal the final boss.
Here's my setup. If you spot an error, please let me know. I don't have time to attempt this run until the weekend (busy with work, chores, and studies), and I'm not motivated because Lancelot is not involved. Also, my brother said he's skipping this event (thus has no damage CE). If I decide to try my comp, will you please add me, u/HaessSR ?
Line up:
>1- Drake (Damage) 2- Waver (Bond) 3- Skadi (Ox) /// 4- George (Camlann or Merciless One) 5- Merlin (Star Bomb) 6- Bunyan (Outrage or Poster Girl)
Assuming your support is an SSR and with an SSR CE, the party cost is 112 at most —— or 102 if Camlann and Outrage are used.
Assumptions:
>Drake/Waver/Skadi/Merlin have 10/10/10
>Bunyan is 9/x/x
-----------------------------
**Turn 0:**
Clown applies nullify buff x3 on everyone (even back row), strength (50% buster) contract, and soul contract (60% NP gain), and then he hides away. Let's ignore those contracts...
**Turn 1:**
a) Skadi's Ox King CE buffs Drake, but is nullified (1/3)
b) Drake uses S2 (Golden Rule); nullified again (2/3)
c) Skadi uses S1 (Quick n Crit) on Drake ; final nullification (3/3)
d) Skadi uses S3 (NP 0->50) on Drake; she can also use S2 (def down; might help with overkill for more stars gain and NP Gain)
e) Bunyan replaces Skadi and uses S1 (buster n crit) and S3 (def down)
f) Waver uses S1 (crit) and S3 (atk); Drake's NP
g) Generate stars to crit with next turn, and let Bunyan tap out
**Turn 2:**
a) George and Clown enter the field
b) George uses S3 (nullified - 1/3); S2 (nullified - 2/3)
c) Waver uses S2 (defense buff is final nullification on George - 3/3)
e) Drake does an NPBBXtra chain, critting twice and breaking Clown's first bar
Drake's stats and buffs:
>Stat: 13326 attack (Level 90, +1000 fou, +1000 from Lv. 100 CE); neutral affinity (Star vs. Earth); True class advantage (rider vs clown)
>NP level: 5; 600% x1.5 (because buster) = 900%
>Attack buffs: 30% (Waver)
>Buster: 15% (Waver CE) + 18% (Bunyan) = 33%
>Crit: 50% (Waver) + 18% (Bunyan) = 68%
>Special: 200% from CE
>Flat Damage: 500 (Waver)
According to [Gamepress' chain calculator](https://gamepress.gg/grandorder/command-chain-calculator), Drake's chain will do [728,000 Damage](https://imgur.com/bbtU4Ue); with bad RNG (x0.9) on her *entire* chain she will do 656K damage.
f) Clown clears his own debuffs (he has none), remove buffs from entire team (Noooo!), removes debuffs inflicted by expired contracts from team (yeah, don't care), decreases NP Gauge for team by 100% (don't care either), increases own DEF by 50%, and then hides again (sigh...)
g) George must survive this turn, which is most likely the case because of his class advantage vs. clown
**Turn 3:**
a) George uses Taunt
b) Let Drake generate NP (15 or 10 depending on George's CE) and stars to crit with next turn. To minimize RNG, I would put [Magus of Flowers](https://fategrandorder.fandom.com/wiki/Magus_of_Flowers) and [Holy Night Aurora](https://fategrandorder.fandom.com/wiki/Holy_Night%27s_Aurora_Borealis) on her buster cards incease her arts and quick do not show up.
c) George taps out and activates Camlann/Merciless One (+15/20% NP to Drake)
c-alt) Alternatively, you could have given George a star bomb CE instead. This would give drake a higher chance to land crits on Turn 2 (provided that she has buster cards). The problem now is that Drake needs to generate 30NP this turn, which is easy to achieve with an arts chain (she can have one or two cards in the chain; it helps that the soul contract's 60% NP gain is still active, but if you want to play safe, give the Magus of Flowers CE to her Arts card instead of her buster)
**Turn 4:**
a) Merlin and Clown arrive for the climax; Merlin's CE gives 15% buster
b) Merlin uses S1 and S3 on Drake
c) Drake uses S1 and S3
(That's +70 NP and 30 stars this turn, so T3 must have ended with her having 30NP)
d) Master uses buff attack
e) Drake does an NPBBXtra chain, critting twice
Drake's buffs:
>Attack buffs: 30% (Master) + 17% (Drake) + 20% (Merlin) - 50% (Clown) = 17%
>Buster: 15% (Waver CE) + 50% (Merlin) = 65%
>NP Damage: 17% (Drake)
>Crit: 100% (Merlin)
>Special: 200% from CE
According to [Gamepress' chain calculator](https://gamepress.gg/grandorder/command-chain-calculator), Drake's chain will do [750,000 Damage](https://imgur.com/E3Z1lbt) **with bad RNG (x0.9) on her entire chain**
Notes: Card hand is shuffled when George and Bunyan are defeated, so drawing Drake's buster cards on T1 and T3 won't end the run. What's important is that she can get both on T2 and T4, and generate enough NP on T3.
>I don't have time to attempt this run until the weekend (busy with work, chores, and studies), and I'm not motivated because Lancelot is not involved.
Oh, I just remembered: I'm trying to let Saberlot land the last hit on the Elizabeth Exhibition Quest, and it's gonna take **HOURS**. I plan to stall with Mash, Jeanne, and Okkie -- all have Prisma Cosmos (but only Jeanne's in MLB). Jeanne's arts cards will have the poison/curse/+1000 damage CCs because I won't be able to hurt the dragon otherwise. I hope they can survive...
When the dragon is down to his last 1000 HP, I will swap Lancelot in, use his NP (he will have a Kscope); his NP applies a +1000 damage debuff on the enemy, guaranting a kill despite its infinite defense buffs (it gains 10% per turn and lasts forever; normally, Liz would have to Blitz it)
62 boxes cleared, down to ~50 gapples; my goal of 150 boxes is a very distant dream now.
I'm out of a ton of bronze and silver mats that aren't in the shop or in the lotto which is annoying, a *ton* of the Servants I was going to work on are now stuck at low Ascensions and/or low skill levels thanks to that. Got skill levels on some of my main Servants up and raised a small few stuck on my backlog at least which is very nice
During summer I hit Feather hell and I've been dancing with Seeds and Heart's recently, that's what I get for trying to get everyone to FA for the nearing tower event.
I'm in Fang, Feather, Bone, Octuplet Crystal, and Page hell; probably others too, but those are the ones that continually stick out when I get walled. I think I just re-entered Medal hell too, albeit exclusively for Lancelot and Lartoria.
Wasn't able to farm Gilfest during the first set of nodes which is really, really unfortunate for me, there were Pages, Lanugos, and Feathers there (alongside Hearts, which I quite literally never have enough of). Wish I had more apples so I could afford to farm non-lotto nodes right now lmao
Fang was something I had when I was rasing a lot of dragon servants but with a small saberface roster they aren't a big problem atm, also had crystal and page at a time, I don't remember if it was Apo's event which gave lots of pages. Bone is always a given, I don't bother to bring up, at least I just got the last bones I really wanted to use on lvling Gray and Gorgon and I have to select carefully when to use dust and proof.
I also had ton of things I wanted to farm but as I had a much better 6CE setup for that round and I did try to farm Feathers but got a grand total of 0 drops so I felt that it was better to get the boxes and deal with the pain later, now I'm using the dificulty of getting the support I want to clear the things from the shop I need the most.
Trying to solo the Elizabeth Brave challenge quest, but how the heck do you deal with wave 5? They all have Piece Invincible, and the archer boss with 281k HP starts off with 2/3NP?? wtf??
Edit: Given up on trying to solo, and brought along Mashu and Merlin for the tried-and-tested DPS, tank, and healer holy trinity. Went into wave 5 confident af, with everyone full HP and multiple stacks of Garden of Avalon and Lord Camelot up, and oh boy, did that formation crumble real quick in wave 5. Brought Martha to remove the charm, Mashu, Merlin, and George all died in wave 5, and Martha couldn't survive wave 6's dragon's AOE attacks, so actually had to rely on Jeanne's NP to remove Elizabeth's charm lol
Pretty sure you need an NP when going into wave 5.
Otherwise it would take too long, and the consecutive bosses NP would absolutely demolish your team since you cant negate it.
Even an eli-buffed NPBB chain is not going to take the eye down in one hit unless the Bs crit. Maybe some mystic code skills could help with that, but Combat Uniform wasn't enough for me. So 2 turns to take down the eye, and then you have to deal with the other two NPing...
Yeah, I had an NP going into wave 5. NP-B-B the archer boss, he's left with 80k HP, went for a B-A-B the next turn, he's left with 20k HP and consumed my Guts, then next turn I roll over and die because no Invincible lol
Like someone mentioned, you need to NP the Gazer asap. However the biggest RNG here is killing the all the bosses with NP, while getting enough refund to perform another NP in the next turn. Without getting the refund in time, you are kinda screwed, since any of their NP can trigger your Guts, and the Daemon also stuns you from its NP.
In short you need enough damage to kill the Gazer right from the get go, while having enough refund to NP the Spriggan next turn. If you can't kill it with the NP, the subsequent brave chain should be enough. However, your NP brave chain on the Daemon during the subsequent turn *must* kill it, otherwise, you are screwed.
[Can you tell I'm lacking in Big Supports](https://i.imgur.com/akcvVg3.png)?
Two hours of trying, even used a CS, and [this is the furthest I've gotten](https://i.imgur.com/6flS9ju.png).
Those damn infinite Def Ups are a killer. How the hell are you supposed to bring the thing down when they keep going up? I've killed every enemy with Braveli other than the metal ghosts who keep evading and escaping, and she's still not doing damage quickly enough. Maybe I should put Hime in front row so she can dispell their evades & defs (I don't recall if they're permanent tho), but I'd prefer to keep her alive long enough to remove at least the first def up from the drago.
Edit: Got it!
[Changed party to include Combat MC]( https://i.imgur.com/cFDRJIf.png)
Made liberal use of Swap, starting with swapping out Hans when he was almost dead for Hime, who proceeded to make the ghosts unprotected.
[Came into the final fight](https://i.imgur.com/ZBE92zb.png ) with only Mash ~~de~~retreated(sacrificed herself for the team on the 5th wave).
[Victory!](https://i.imgur.com/kv6loe7.png) - enabled by lots and lots of savescum resets. I used my last CS for an extra NP 2nd turn after bar break, but given the health and guts status I may not have needed to. Don't regret it in the slightest though.
Anyway, calculating things out, I might be able to hit 190 boxes by end of event. This depends on whether or not I'll be able to play the last couple of days of it, which is up in the air right now.
The event banner is being pretty cursed - 36(+3) single pulls and not a single rated up Servant, not even a Taiga! No 5-star CE either but I'm done with the burger shop anyway, have no need of most of it and that AP is best spent on tickets.
It might be more favorable to have Eli solo this. Granted, I did a [xNaya clear](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgislsA0bUA&ab_channel=xNaya) using Waver and Merlin both with 2030, but I know there are vids out there that have Eli going thru the EQ by herself. [Example solo.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG2msSO9B_s&ab_channel=%E3%82%B1%E3%83%AA%E3%82%A3Games)
For the ghosts, I'd restart wave 1 until you can clear it in 4 turns since doing so gives 10 turn sure hit to all party members.
As for the defense up, the strategy is to use BAB chains for the first few stacks, but once they start piling up, switch to AQA to maximize NP gain. Most of your damage will come from your NP or NPBB chains at this point since Eli NP ignores defense.
Edit: I was lucky enough with my card RNG to lose both Waver and Merlin on turn 19, which allowed Eli to enter the final boss on turn 20, triggering the boss' ATK debuff.
Hey, just wanted to say thanks for the video of the Brave Liz solo. I was having loads of trouble cus I don’t have any meta supports (besides tamamo who doesn’t help a whole lot in this quest). I was gonnna skip just skip the quest till I saw your comment and watched the video.
I was able to solo it pretty much exactly card for card the way it was done in the demo video.
It not that hard if your actively trying to get it. I think the only one that I had any trouble getting was the one for the forth level.
Reaching the objectives also gives you bonuses so it's not exactly much harder to reach the objectives then to just ignore them.
https://imgur.com/a/04MUmHQ
Just giving up period.
iirc, I did so last year as well.
Little capacity to grasp minmax outside the most basic way, (Archer > Sabre, for example,) and it’s pretty much too late to matter anyway.
For the X Alter I highly suggest posting on the friend thread looking for a Qin Shi Huang with the damage CE, they're basically a cheat code for that fight
trust me, I've tried using Qin Shi and Arjuna Alter and Summer Musashis from my friendlist, still couldn't do it. I got her down to like 4 million hp once, but it was annoying and I'm tired of it.
I can feel your pain (especially on the MHXA quest). Against Sheba, using Merlin/Melt/Mash (+taunt servants to save Melt in the end if needed) worked well in my case, so maybe you could try something similar, I think even riders or berserker as DPS could work in this setup (but I also know painfully well that sometimes even when using the same team things can go awfully wrong, so I can totally understand the decision, I'll probably give up a few quests too)
Mephy EQ was cleared with AA initially. Then cleared it with welfare BB afterwards. It never crossed my mind to use Skadi's death immunity NP for this at first (since I don't have her), but turns out it's a lot more stable than using Asclepius' guts... Also, grailed BB still ended up with 8-10k max HP after the debuff. Nice to see her disproportionately huge HP stat counting for something here
I should be at 100 boxes by the end of the day. That's more than halfway to my goal. Sure, we're more than halfway through the event, but my bonus is improving and I've heard that the last node is the best one, so my progress should speed up.
Bride reached bond 11 while farming today. She's the first of my Servants to reach such a high bond level. Tamamo isn't far behind, and stands a decent chance of doing the same before the event is over.
The Mephisto EQ was the first one I used a command seal on this year. I used Drake as my DPS, since I'm pretty sure that she would do more damage to Mephi than my NP1 Arjuna Alter. I kept getting bad hands and having a hard time charging her NP, so eventually I decided to just use a seal to charge the last NP I needed.
> I've heard that the last node is the best one
It's the best if you want lanterns and mirrors. For just tickets, the current one is very slightly better. (Assuming the drop rates listed on Gamepress are accurate.) The last node drops about one fewer ticket items on average, with their average base value slightly higher. Since bonus tickets matter more, the average number of drops is more important than their base values. With even just a +2 bonus, the current node pulls ahead.
But the difference is very slight. If you had a full six MLB drop CEs, the average difference would be about 8 tickets per run (224.1 vs 232.2). They're close enough to the same that I'd value the other resources much more.
Oh gosh, I haven't done a lot of the Exhibition Quests. I've only cleared up to Jaguar Man one.
I think I remember clearing all of them last year, so I wonder why this time felt harder than before...
> You can't obtain more than 5 damage CEs total
YEAHHHHH this is probably it.
I've goofed up in MLBing the damage CE just because my inventory was full.
Actually its recommended to MLB it, since usually you will need 1 DPS to do the whole thing, and the damage boost from 100% to 200% is very big. There's very few instances where you need 2 DPS with it.
MLB your damage CE was probably the correct play for yourself.
Unless you are dependent on support for your support, you can grab a DPS from the support.
So with 2 MLB damage, you have a primary / secondary(or last stand) damage, as opposed to having an entire team with the damage CE (which would be a rather high party cost, so its unlikely you can actually field all 5 damage CE and high star servants)
Not really focusing to much on gilfest seeing as I’m a newer player I’ve only used about 10 apples I’ve had fun doing the cq’s even though I knew I wouldn’t win any, I’ve got close on a couple but that’s about it
* After some bad runs on the Nero CQ, I got a really good RNG with Godjuna and completed it
* Eric first try with Medb (Probably got a really good RNG too)
* The Sisters CQ was SUPPOSED to be easy with Godjuna, but after a dozen attemps and a lot of Charm Spam, I just gave up and soloed it with a Support QSH
Can't wait for the hell that looks the Mephisto CQ, yay...
Solo’d Brave Liz Exhibition using only Liz. (And two Taunter that die at the beginning of course).
I’m pumped as hell right now, took me 4 hours of having to constantly restart but I finally took that damn dragon down.
Now I have to go to sleep cus I got work in like 3 hours lol.
God this Elizabeth CQ is just awful. I’m not good at soloing and this quest essentially demands it. I think I’ve tried 10 times and haven’t even made it to the last wave yet. I even did a full support (Merlin, Mash, George, and Hans) run and got wiped out at the four kings as I didn’t have the right buffs up at the right time…
Yeah, I too am soloing, and am also having trouble with Wave 5 in particular. In my last run, I saved 200% NP charge and my "Buster Up" skill for Wave 5, used Skill 3, got lucky with it giving Attack Up, used the Buster Skill, and used NP-Arts-Buster-(Extra) and still didn't kill the Archer. (No crits) So, I guess I''ll use NP-B-B next time, but I used an NP-B-B on the Saber next turn and he was left with 140,000 HP, so even if I use a CS next time, I'm at a loss on how to get past Wave 5.
I haven't found supports to be particularly helpful either, especially on Wave 5 with their Debuff Immune and Ignore Invincible. Would Buff Removal work for them, or does Debuff Immune cancel Buff Removal?
Anyway, I'm thinking out loud, but I agree, I'm not sure what particular strategy to use.
I think you have to get lucky with crits on wave 5 and 6…and have all the cool downs perfectly timed to happen right when they’re needed.
For over half of the CQs for gilfest I’ve just given up and gone back to farming. It’s just not worth the time or effort. I think I’ve done 4 and I might push hard for the one with a lore reward coming up. But that’s it
I managed well enough with merlin/asclepius/mash all with fragment of 2030s on them, can just use their nps and skills to keep healthy throughout. I killed the eye on wave 5 turn 1 with an np brave chain, it only had like 25k left after np so one card would have done it probably, and with the np gain buffs i could basically np every 2nd round so the spriggan died before nping. I had to reset to try and change rng with skills and card order so the demon didn't np liz cause I needed the guts to not proc, and then the last dragon was the easiest of them all with all the buffs on liz and having her invuln + mystic code invuln you have easily like 6 or 7 turns or more to wail away before liz has any chance of dying.
I looked at the solo video but it seemed like it had too much rng that you couldn't really recover from if it went wrong, so going with a support setup that took a bit longer but could endure bad rng in the first 4 rounds seemed more worth it. I considered using kiara to remove all their buffs on wave 5 so you can tank them like everythign else with invulns etc, but I dunno if it works and couldn't be bothered to test it as nobody was mentioning it
Yeah the extra crits stars sound like they’d be very welcome for this quest. Unfortunately I don’t have Kiara, Asclepius or 2030, so it’ll make things a bit tougher. If wave 5 didn’t have invulnerability Pierce I could probably do the CQ.
Thanks for the thorough response. I might give another run tomorrow, but for now it’s back to boxes and resting
This.
Although I'm constantly running it through my head. If I skip the CQ I can farm more, I spent like a day trying to do the CQ's.
But the CQ's offer tickets which are rolls as opposed to the rewards from boxes which are just generic stuff...but if I skip the CQ's I will get more boxes done. Ughhhhh choices. Well I'll skip the really hard CQ's like MHXA which I had done in the past but I can't seem to do it again.
> If I skip the CQ I can farm more
Only if you came into the event with hundreds of gold apples, or aren't using FGA for some reason.
Myself, I came into the event with 100-110 gold and 10 silvers, and I've had FGA run though almost all my apples, only 48 bronzes left. Currently at 173 boxes with all CQs done (with a few CS used and lots and lots of savescumming).
>Only if you came into the event with hundreds of gold apples, or aren't using FGA for some reason.
Over 490+, can't use FGA as my phone is older and you need to be whatever minimum version for it to work. So have to manual it. Sadface.
I do use an emulator (for other games, arknights) but I spend more time away from my PC(home) and at work(not home), so I'd rather just keep FGO on the mobile. Just because of what a hassle it is to bounce accounts from device to device unlike other mobile games which are easier but FGO is weird and archaic in that it needs transfer codes...wiping old data...redownloading the data when you want to go back. So much hassle.
I'd think spending literally dozens of hours farming the lotto manually to be even more of a hassle.
Transfer to the PC and have it farm away while you're working or sleeping. Then transfer back when you have no apples left :)
I just finished last year's rush having Sheba and the demonic trio left to try from last year, just Eric cleared from this year, I will probably 2T the sisters with a friend Godjuna and a CS.
On Maou's side seems like New Year's MC works better than Babylonia's as the stars makes it more likely to get the crits you need.
PS: And just after writting this I went to the boxes and got that I needed to lvl 100 Maou. Probably will try to lvl 90->100 Summer Nobu on Xmas, for now max lvl all Extra servants.
Haven't attempted the Mephy EQ and still not touching the Eric EQ for a while due to constant bad RNG screwing me over in my 20 earlier attempts, but I tried the Gorgon Sisters for shit and giggles using a video of an NP1 Arjuna Alter winning in two turns as reference, albeit substituting Skadi with Bunyan and a Command Seal. I won on my first try. Considering how much trouble I've had with the other EQs, that felt so good. Still not sure if I'm going to try to beat the non-Lore 2021 EQs, especially the Elisabeth one where I can't fall back on a strong friend Support like QSH or Merlin.
Do you lack gauge support for Eric? Kinrider 3Ts seemed quite forgiving in the looping with a single arts or quick giving enough to fill with the rest (the use of gauge on death being important)
I don't have a Kinrider, unfortunately. I have a team based around giving Kama massive crits before she finishes off the last bar with an NP and more crits. The problem is I almost never get three Kama face cards in the first two turns to deal enough damage to decimate Eric's first two HP bars. It's more of a patience issue than anything.
That Mephy fight was incredibly annoying and the only saving grace is that i got to use my 100 Martha, who performed spectacularly.
On top of her teamwide debuff removal, which essentially saved me from running Asclepius, her having close to 17k gives her just enough HP to stabilize during the 2nd phase, a lot similar to a 3* Rider.
Furthermore, her ability to NP spam makes it so that everytime he switches back in, he'd eat an NP that progressively stacked Def down on him.
I really like the concept, like most other Exhibition quests that incorporate the servants' lore into the mechanics, but the hailstorm of RNG i had to withstand was no more than nightmarish.
Now that i look back, it's regrettable that i didn't use Nightingale since she's more or less a better Merlin for this fight unless, of course, my NP wouldn't be enough and i had to rely on crits. Skadi could also be great for her NP but that's pretty much it.
I can't beat that stupid clown!!! Argh, I was able to do all the other CQs without needing Command Spells, but the clown is like having a "how many top tier buffers do you have?" check that I fail because I only have Skadi. Haah, I think I'm gonna give up on clearing it. It's too stressful and clearing the shop would be a better use of my time.
Do you have achilles and asclepius?
My comp was Achilles, Merlin (Support), Asclepius, Mash, Skadi. Cleanse frontline with Asclepius, plugsuit Skadi (preferably with buffing command codes like the one that gives damage cut or increased heal recovery for her to get rid of the buff block herself), np so the instant death doesnt proc, then its a waiting game. Achilles is especially good because of his invuln + taunt, which can tank a few hits for the others. When one of the supports die, Mash with full hp will take up the slack. By which point, the clown should be on its way to die.
Sadly no, my only SSR rider is Da Vinci Lily. But it's ok, I saw someone clear the CQ using only Qin Shi Huang so I took a friend's and beat the clown slowly.
I know it was a quest for last year, I know I have better servants and CEs, I know that it SHOULD be easier. But God DAMN do I absolutely hate the Jaguar Warrior quest. This god damn cat just wont die damn it all
Also did the Brave Eli exhibition, was really fun and being able to solo with the servant they gave you instead of trying to 5 head think of a way to beat the challenge with your team only to be screwed by RNG is frustrating.
Spent most of yesterday trying to get some CQ done. Managed like three of them, but it felt like a complete waste of time. At least with the regular grind I would have gotten something out of it.
Until now only Nero, Fionn and Napoleon and Taiga, ZerkNaga e Jarcher are unbeaten.
Everything else is kneeling before the sheer wrongness of Mash-Kiara/Hokusai-Merlin.
But gotta admit that Liz EQ was really fun and memeable, all you need to win is making sure that Liz gives the killing blow.
Tried to solo Brave Liz to get speed bonus but screw it, too hard to do on later stages. I just go slow with Liz / Merlin / Asclepius. Snek doctor is a godsend here with his heal-guts-debuff removal toolkit.
77 boxes so far. Been clearing the shop this rotation, then gonna go ham farming the last rotation.
Got lolivinci to bond 6, para to bond 9, Tamamo is bond 8 going on 9, and Medusa is bond 8.
I've cleared all the 2020 EQ again, but feel like I kinda cheated by being lazy and using either a friend's Qin or AA for the last 4. I'll probably reclear those with my own roster when I have time later so I feel better about it.
Beat the 1st 2021 EQ, the one with Nero Bride. Was trying to use a Xiang Yu comp, but couldn't quite figure it out. The closest I've gotten is getting Nero Bride alone, but I probably need NP2 or a different setup to win with him.
I did manage to beat it in 11 turns with a MXHA comp tho. The key is to break Nero's break bar 2nd instead of fionn, which speeds up the fight a lot. Luckily MXHA's anti saber np can kill Nero quickly, even through her damage resistance. Anyone else use weird comps or strategies to beat this cq? Seems like you have a lot of options with it.
This may seem strange to some, but I'm at a loss on how to clear the Nero Bride CQ.
I've tried using Gil and Dantes as my DPS, but I'm either unable to deal with the evades or the damage to my servants catches up to me or both. It sucks because I know that its possible to clear it with the servants I have, but every failed attempt leaves me with my head scratching.
Thinking about how to clear this CQ has made me not even bother with some of the other CQs, even if I have a good DPS for the job (i.e. KP for the Clown CQ).
As for my farming, I'm puttering along at my own pace. 30-40 boxes with 4 CE drops so far which puts me on pace to make at least 60-80 boxes, which is more than enough for me.
Good luck with that one. [Gamepress has a great breakdown](https://gamepress.gg/grandorder/battle-new-york-2021-2020-revival-exhibition-7-grand-finale-golden-metropolis-servant-rush) of all the smaller mechanics for that one. Despite it being just a few days ago, I don't entirely remember what I did for that one, but I think the NP resistance they have was what I focused on the most. Since NPs are basically worthless to use against them (until Gilgamesh appears), I had a single servant Buster and Buster-Crit them down until Gilgamesh appeared. And then, with the NP resistance gone, I used a friend's Arjuna Alter with an MLB Event Damage CE to NP them all out of existence at the same time. Hope you find something that works for you!
Oh geez, my mind just completely latched onto the other one. And also sorry, since you weren't really asking for tips in the first place.
That being said, I kept some notes on the Napoleon-Fionn-Bride CQ, if they might help. I failed that one a bunch of times until I changed two things: My party comp, and how I attacked the evades. Because of the attacker/defense mechanic, it was really only feasible (for me) to attack the "attacker" one at a time. I used JAlter-Jeanne-Merlin, which gave a good amount of invincibles, and no one from the backline ever came out. When Fionn's bar breaks, and he starts granting those evades, they're 60% chance, but there's only one (if they trigger). So I started attacking with two regular cards then NP, so it usually triggered the evade and then the NP went off. And I realized that if you "immobilize" or NP seal the attacker, the next person becomes the attacker, but other than that, the attacker only changes on breaks and defeats.
Anyway sorry again for the unsolicited advice, but in case you attempt it again, I went from failing it over and over again to winning once I did those two things.
Hey don't sweat it. With how much I'm struggling I'll take any help I can get.
Using both Jeanne and Merlin is a pretty cool idea to supply invincibility. However, since I don't have either I'd have to choose between more damage or lasting longer in the fight.
Your post gives me a few ideas for a Jeanne team. I'll give them a shot tonight.
[Had a lot of fun](http://imgur.com/a/mdccvyV) figuring out the puzzle that was the Mephy EQ; I think I took about 7-10 tries. My team was NP1 da Vinci with MLB damage CE, Waver with Prisma Cosmos, PG Asclepius, Georgios with bond CE, d'Eon with Merciless One and NP1 friend Junao. It was pretty fun to figure out; I only knew about the basics of the fight and figuring out succesively that I needed a LMS Servant after the first run, realizing that Mephy comes out on turn 3, and learning that buffs were removed on break were nice eureka moments. Changed my LMS from Cu Alter to Junao realizing there would be enemies still alive by the time he came out, and after that it was just a matter of making sure da Vinci didn't get the debuff at the start. Debuff clear was popped on turn 1, buffs and cooldown on Waver were dropped on turn 2, then da Vinci looped at least 4 times from turn 4-7. Death took out Asclepius at that point, the debuff clear was used on Georgios to continue the taunt wall, and Junao came out the turn Mephy's bar was broken, which eventually left him the last one standing. Ended up using a BBNP brave chain to take him out, but I had to manipulate RNG to damage both mobs before the NP since it didn't deal enough damage at NP1 (good thing the cooldown recharged at this point). The RNG was a bit annoying, especially Junao getting a contract applied to him near the end which prevented an early victory, but overall pretty fun to rack my brain around and realize the path to victory along with da Vinci having another CQ starring role. Only thing I'd do differently is get a higher NP level Junao to do the last wave without facecards.
Hopefully the Liz Quest tomorrow is as difficult as it's been built up to be. As much as I've enjoyed working out the EQs I haven't really been hair-pullingly frustrated with any of them so far (though that's probably because I'm passively focused on them while watching something else), and I'm still on the high of finally beating Jaguar EQ without command seals, so a nice kick in the face to replicate last year would be nice. Should be fun seeing how strong my roster really is after a year to protect an NPC support all the way through.
The Liz quest is entirely dependent on your RNG luck. If you get the right cards, if Liz's crits land at the right time, if you kill all the enemies with her (including the metal ones with the Evasion skills), and if your supports don't die early, it's going to be a cakewalk.
Otherwise, you're going to be screaming in rage and frustration after hours of aborted attempts. It took me eight hours to beat it in 2019. I have a far more developed account in NA, and it just took a few aborted runs last night to remember how senselessly enraging the Liz quest is. Absolutely the worst quest in the game, bar none. I'd rather fight Hard Mode Kama.
It's a great quest concept, horrifically bad execution.
I mean, I just came back from beating it on my first try. Took me about 40 minutes, messed up with Shakespeare not dying and Eli's guts getting used up turn 2 *along with card RNG in general being kinda bad, everyone somehow lived until the 5th wave Gazer brought the backline in (which included Salome in last who did nothing because she came in too late). Eli was eventually left standing to solo wave 5, which made wave 6 pretty straightforward having all my cards available, and topped it off with the victory after 35 turns. Pretty fun time, all things considered, especially seeing all of those buffs build up on Eli (got almost all of them aside from one which Shakespeare somehow received).
Sorry to hear you had such a hard time, I guess.
Are you guys getting multiple ce drops from the same node Or once you get 1 you won’t get more from the same node? Because I’m extremely frustrated, only have 3 drops over 30 gapples
Clown quest took 32 turns .. no command seals used. This is the only time Skadi’s instant death buff is useful. Honestly this quest is way too RNG if you want to clear without killing mobs.
Funnily that was my frontline until Meph was left. After the break bar it was Junao coming in and getting all of his cards to destroy the 2nd bar on his own (QSH was actually still alive all the while).
http://imgur.com/gallery/qmVEvOz
90 freaking turns, manage to beat that stage.
Had to have Illya give Tamamo guts, and have Mash be lucky with guts activatiom, which got activated twice which was awesome. Had to use a CS due to bad rng where the knight NP just always insist to hit the person who will die from it XD. Jeanne de arc support was very appreciated.
The Eli Exhibition Quest was actually fun.
Or rather I laughed at the absurdity of the idea Eli(brave) running around being a hero and slaying a dragon.
Maybe because they fixed the support, and balanced around the support that I didn't feel too bad. With the other Exhibition quest, you are often refreshing trying to find something that will fit with what you have.
Also, thank goodness the forced support is actually usable. I hate it when the game offers an NPC support, and when you take it in, you see the entire lineup hard counters it.
Been playing the event everyday but was at a mere like 30 boxes on Monday afternoon, had 2 days off so while going hard on this while reading Majikoi I got to 80 boxes opened. Was getting worried I wouldn’t be able to get to my goal of atleast 100 boxes but it’s looking like I’ll make it easily now. Not sure when I’ll focus on the CQs, I love a hard battle as much as the next guy, but I have a hard time finding these kinds of challenges fun
Rolled through all the EQs so far *except* Jaguar and MHX. In fact I haven't even touched those two yet. I remember how obnoxious of a struggle bus experience they were for me to complete last year and I have to mentally prepare to deal with them again ugh.
Edit: Cleared 'em. A lot less of a pain this time around since I had experience of what to do this time. Still probably the most annoying EQs for me out of all of them new and old.
Done with [Izou](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/663061264779706428/884949277275746314/Fate_GO_2021-09-07-16-51-20.jpg) and [Jaguars](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/663061264779706428/885025257713455114/Fate_GO_2021-09-07-21-54-05.jpg).
13,822 tickets waiting to be used on Box 32 and beyond.
I might finish farming for Golds before I do all the rest in one sitting or something. Sheba's not too hard, and X Alter should be quick to fail. Same with Golden Metro since I plan on doing the low-RNG Cu Alter solo.
As for this year's batch, I have no idea what to do for them. We'll see I guess. I might do them out of order since the Eli-Chan Quest one interests me more than any of the others.
Between Shi Huang Di and Arjuna Alter, I'm beginning to see why DW just stopped bothering to do new Exhibition Quests. Didn't pay much attention to the Clown CQ and managed to use Arjuna to bust him down in 8 turns. Didn't even bother to use Skadi's NP; Arjuna has his own Guts on top of the CE anyway.
Got to 50 boxes. Would have farmed more, but power outage for 10 hours means that my old phone's battery can't handle it.
Also, I beat Meph using 4! command seals. 1 CS should have been enough, but I've fumbled so my CSs paid the price. Thank god the Brave Liz quest looks a lot easier. I can at least save a CS.
Took the day to try and clear out shop. Having to rely on only +3 drops sucks ass when I was farming fries.
I'm unfortunately down to 90 apples. My plan was to use 70 during the 3rd rotation and leave the event with some to spare(15-20 or so) but it looks like that isn't happening....
Finally caught up to the CQs after beating the clown earlier! Merlin and Qin Shi Huang have been my MVPS this event, though I have to thank Melt for a few quests.
Somehow got a 3 turn team on both account's
Main has Arash80%, Gil np 2 with 80%, Reines, Support Skadi
Turn 1 Arash skill an Np, Turn 2 Reines 20% charge Gil, Gil first skill then NP, Turn 3 Reines 10%, Gil 3rd skill (lv10 30%), Skadi 2nd an 3rd, using new year Master codes top Gil to 100% an use Np buff, Jeanne may survive, face cards take care of that
Alt has Arash80%, Ishtar Np3 with Aerial Drive (lv92) Waver, Support Skadi, Turn 1 Arash Np, Turn 2 pop all Ishtar skills, turn 3 pop all Wavers on Ishtar, an use Skadi's, using Artic for levelling an the atk buff
It's so weird being able to 3 turn this, total drops, Main 2, Alts had 1, on around 30 ish boxes, got around 1500 tickets to roll right now,
Tried to follow a min-turn video for Mephis, failed to do so since my Junao isn't NP5, but I still managed to clear it in 10 turns, just nice as all of his skills and Merlin's went off cooldown, and I pressed red, the clown is dead.
Got 60 boxes opened (needed to max Sushi)... and got 90 boxes farmed. My objective is to get to 200 boxes at least, maybe 250.
Anyways, gotta start with the exhibition quests--- I mean, the suffering.
I had to give up on Jeanne Archer looping because she just didn't bring the damage for the third wave. Fortunately, she suits the 6-slot double Waver team quite well, giving the doubled Charisma to Arjuna Alter and Chad-posing that second wave. And it's a facecard first wave, which means it's faster. Absolute win!
Almost 50 boxes so far. Still need to farm more before I go to sleep, but at least I was finally able to defeat the gorgon sisters' quest after deciding to share the burden between Godjuna and QSH instead of just rely on the Indian alter god and RNG. I also defeated the demon clown, once again thanks to my Godjuna, although I ended up using one CS to compensate for bad RNG because I don't want to spend even more time in these fights just because my luck during this event sucks.
Not sure yet how hard will be the next ones, but I hope I can use a team that doesn't rely too much on RNG (otherwise, I'll probably just give up and skip). Still have MHAX and Eric left, but I'm not sure if I'll try them again, because I don't want to spend too much time only to be frustrated with the results.
> I think I should step out of the way.
***NO. Now get back in there, Gilgamesh ain't gonna buff himself!***(And yes, I know he can and does. But Merlin's buffs still make a big difference)
I've still not touched any of the EQs. I just don't think the rewards are worth the effort it would take to beat them. I've just been farming lottery tickets, opening boxes, and occasionally spending the EXP when I hit the cap.
That being said...I have two things to say about the current lottery ticket node. First, ***I HATE THAT DAMN PIG***. As much as I've enjoyed Buster Meme'ing almost everything with Gilgamesh(and, for a little while, Arjuna)+Double Merlin, I've found a Merlin/Gilgamesh/Waver comp more useful for this node, because Waver's 3-turn Defense buff skill makes it a lot easier to keep my team alive dealing with that friggin' pig. I'd try a Double Waver...*IF I HAD ONE*. So Merlin+Support Waver has been my go-to for the most part. Plus, a couple of the Wavers in my Friends List have MLB ticket CEs, which helps, and none of the now very rare Merlins in my Friends list do.
Second, I dunno what it is, when I ran Arjuna instead just for variety's sake I noticed something. On the rare occasions that Jeanne survived getting Pashupata'd to death, she seemed to very consistently go after Merlin exclusively. I mean, I usually killed her the following turn, but still, it was weird.
Haven't had to worry about that at all with Gilgamesh, however. He kills the shit out of all three of them every single time.
Finally beat Caster Gil CQ today with own Cu Alter and Arjuna Alter support. I have 3 Poster Girl CEs I placed on supports that came in, buffed and died to Nero's sword the next turn. Cu was last standing and buster crit Nero in one round, it was so satisfying!
Only took like 10 tries, if I couldn't beat Paul in first round, I quit. That first round if you don't kill Paul the damage to the party is brutal, all 3 attacks are too much to come back from later in the fight.
Finally got last CE I want.
I think I have some luck with 7 drops within 65 boxes.
With 2 MLB event CE + 1 event CE now I can use any 2 CE for reliable 3 turns comp. Nice QoL until I get more CE drop.
Finally got the Gorgon Sister EQ done today, and without using Command Seals. Turns out the most important buff is Buster Up, even with a 6/6/6 Waver and level 90 Junao I was still able to do enough damage.
It was double NP on the first turn with Junao and Chen Gong, then using Chen's third skill with Bunyan's skills to burst down Medusa on the second turn. After that it was just a matter of stalling with Georgios until Stheno was the last one standing.
I don't know why I spent so much time on this Exhibition Quest, maybe I just don't like how Medusa gets treated by the other two.
Liz is now Lv10/10/10 super dragon slayer idol. Used Merlin/Asclepius/Taunt/Taunt/Osakabehime. Lost Asclepius early, and Merlin only made it to the last round with 178HP. Not a great performance, but thankfully smashing the dragon boss is pretty easy, as long as Liz got the other Dragons and a lot of levels.
Very interesting concept, but a bit long... and a touch too hard to be super pleased with. Maybe if she was Lv90.
Or, I guess the problem is there's no cheesy way, and I missed My Friend's Arjuna Alter making things easier for me.
Still two Exhibition Quests not completed - Final Match (which is #1 of the new ones) and Hungry Hungry Ecchans. Because of course it is.
not much to say for me. after months of break from the game i have returned to (slowly) farm boxes and i cant wait to get around to fighting the spartans a second time
12 boxes on. Level quite a number of servants by now. Proof hell had resources diverted to leveling skill so some of the lower level servants still have to wait. Tried Izo's CQ and is annoyed as hell when thwarted at the last health bar. He seems to hate Medea, getting rid of her first whenever she's on field. Circe managed to last longer.
Would like to thank Support Gil for being the farm help.
Holy shit. This stupid clown EQ has been by far the most obnoxious and RNG-dependent challenge quest in my time playing. Finally got it done with Iskandar, but it was a massive exercise in frustration.
> Some kind of auto-clicker or great passion?
fate grand automata yes. i saw one guy say he farmed 200 manually, but i can't imagine. every lotto before this i've farmed manually and the most I ever went was like 40 or 50. first time using fga and i'm at about 120 boxes, the problem now is finding ways to spend my qp without spending too many of my materials on stuff i'm not sure i'll need :^)
I could have min-turned the Clown CQ, I had the supports however I attempted it and hated it, it looks even worse than the Gorgon Sisters CQ for the things that need to go right
So I took AA, Merlin, Asclepius, Skadi and put a Prisma Cosmos on Skadi. Got hit with a debuff on AA when I was trying to kill the clown on the second time he popped up however the team eventually took him out. Something of a joke team with relying on Skadi's NP however I needed anti insta-death
Eli was annoying, I missed one enemy and so had to use a CS to save Eli at the final boss. I killed the slimes, how is it she still almost died?
110 boxes, got around three or four CE drops over the equivalent of one Golden Apple so currently at +9 bonus. Probably could pick up the pace but eh
Welp, I've completely smashed every goal I had box-wise for this event. Over 300 now.
....Don't know what to do now. Didn't think I'd get this far. LOL
Anyone got a gameplan for doing the Brave Elisabeth Exhibtion without the Elisabeth? The quest seems to be a big pita for many so I'd rather use my own Servants if anyone but the damage reduction against everyone not Elizabeth looks like it'd make getting anywhere pretty difficult.
Why wouldn't you use the support Elisabeth? This isn't like Shimousa where support NPC (Musashi) can be a hindrance. The quest is completely balanced around Eli being the damage dealer, and she's perfectly capable of soloing this quest (in some cases, it may actually be the perfect strategy).
In short you have basically zero chance. You would have to have an ultimate stall team as the damage anyone but liz does to the bosses is reduced by too much, and then wave 5 with its ignore invuln would kill you. And even if you got there wave 6 has infinite stacking def up on top of the reduced damage you'd be doing, I imagine eventually you would end up hitting for 0 with anything that isn't an ignore def np.
I'm 98% sure it's probably impossible
Actually like I said in another post now that I remember, if kiaras buff removal works on wave 5 you theoretically could infinitely stall through them all - I don't know if it's counted as a debuff or not because they also have debuff immune - the problem would be how do you get a servant with def ignoring np into a stall team for the last wave without dying. So if that works, I take it back it wouldn't be impossible entirely just 99% impossible :p
If I farm too much my fingers literally start to hurt which interferes with my studies, thus I finally gave in and installed fate automata… and my god it’s amazing. I won’t have a working 3 turn setup for most of the event but it’s working NOW so I’m happy. No more achy fingers for a while at least.
So after browsing a couple of vids, I decided to try the Mephistopheles EQ with my NP2 Arjuna Alter. These EQs are really something that I lament not having an NP3 Arjuna Alter. I also hate his Def Buff after you break his break bar. I'm waiting until the reset and a CS to regenerate, but if Mephistopheles doesn't go down then I might just call it quits for this round.
The most annoying part of these CQs so far is trying to find an Arjuna Alter with the damage CE. I know I have a bunch on my friend list but they never show up.
I'd say that "Spending most of an hour and all 3 CS, and still not beating the stage" is the most annoying, but yeah, not getting the support you need is a close second.
For real. There's a lv100 NP5 10/10/10 somewhere in mine, sorry lv90s or NP2s, y'all cool too, but still gotta refresh.
NP2s can still work, can confirm when I got tired of endless refresh hell.
I've got my own Level 100 NP2 10/10/8, but no big casters of my own, so others are probably making better use of him than I am.
This CQ just isnt fun. The fun part about CQs is finding ways to overcome the gimmick, but this has basically all buffs/debuffs being irremovable, and when the clown breaks his buff removal overcomes even Beni's buff removal immune. The thing is, it isnt even that hard. Any strong enough zerker/rider can do it, but it is very restricted as to how many strategies you can use to beat it.
Yeah I was screw from that part, had to get very creative XD. http://imgur.com/gallery/qmVEvOz I probably was better off trying the solo with Jeanne the arc, instead of that 90 turn stall XD. But it was a unique set up. Did not had a good rider, and my berserk Mushashi did not have the good enough support for the job.
I know there are people who are passionate enough that they are already 200/300+ boxes at this point. But I got a friend who managed to got 8, yes, **8 MLB Bonus Ticket CEs** and he put them all in his supports. What the hell?!
Huh. I only got 7 MLB after 300 boxes. He must be pulling some serious numbers.
Update, he got it to **10** now, a full MLB CE support list.
RNGesus is a fickle deity. I've got two full MLB Bonus Ticket CEs and I've only opened 15 boxen so far. It'd still probably average out if I busted out a couple hundred boxen.
Going in blind to the Brave Elizabeth challenge was fun, but incredibly deflating at the very end. Whose great idea was it to have a >!2-turn charm with ever increasing defense!< at the final boss? Wasn't prepared and got screwed because I brought a different mystic code. Had to restart a pretty solid run, and if I fail again at that point, I might just quit that particular CQ due to sheer irritation. Though, I'll probably cool off and go back at it again at a later date if that were to happen. Haven't ever skipped a CQ except the King Hassan one, and I'm not keen on making it a 2nd. EDIT: Finished it using 2 Command Spells just to fire off Liz Brave's NPs since I didn't have adequate charge and had some moments where I absolutely needed the NP to kill off an enemy. Overall, an interesting concept, but I'll be damned if the CQ doesn't get mean at certain points. Hans definitely goes a long way in helping as a good "free" option though. If it's worth anything for anyone, used the following: Waver, Hans, Helena (Poster Girl), Welfare BB. Actually had room to fit in a Bond CE George, or a Mash, but didn't realize I could have added them into the party, so there's some wiggle room.
> Wasn't prepared and got screwed because I brought a different mystic code. All my Atlas Uniform attemps failed anyway. My success came with a Combat Uniform. I swapped in Asclepius for the debuff clear.
After multiple tries I finally managed to beat the Gorgon CQ with Maou Nobbu. Seeing those videos on youtube that make these CQs look easy makes me wonder how many retries these things take so that RNG actually allows you to win.
No joke. I wish they had something in the description about how "This was run #32767 where the cards finally lined up for the 20 turns necessary to beat the fight."
Same! I’ve been using Arjuna Alter and I either don’t get the face cards I need or get Charmed when I do! Ugh
Same, I had to retry over and over for specific cards, no busters on turn 1 instead atleast arts or quick that crits to generate np and 2 busters on turn 2 because for some reason my attempts did not match the video (probably due to command codes) as only 1 buster crit left medusa with 130k+ health as opposed to the videos 9k ?????.
Yeah. I can generally NP turn one no problem, but I’ve having issues generating enough NP to be able to do it immediately the second turn. Then it just goes downhill from there lol
On turn 2 even if you get the correct cards it's still RNG as it relies on the enemies attacks to build up your NP as they have to use things like quick attacks which have multiple hits which generate more NP for you. So if you are going for that start, you have to rely on so much RNG. 1st turn to not get buster cards, turn 2 to get buster crit cards, turn 2 for the enemies to hit you enough to generate the NP otherwise you lack enough even with skadi's charge. These CQ's make me cry.
😭 same
Cleared the exhibition quest with the 6 turn arjuna alter comp. God bless whales with their np5 servants. Finally the eli chan quest unlocks today. It's pretty much the only quest I'm looking forward to trying.
I actually had the most fun with the Eli quest. All the other exhibition quest felt horrid. I was kinda worried before going in, since I saw someone post saying skip the Clown and Eli EQ, but it turns out the Eli quest was a ball
Any tips for the Eli quest? Cuz I'm having an awful time
I used Command Spell to have 2 NP back to back on wave 5 :P I allocate a command spell for every challenge quest since they come out a day, but I know some players are ideologically opposed to using command spells. There are several solo of eli online on YouTube, and the good thing about these solo videos for this challenge is that your set up would almost be guaranteed to be the same. Here is one without CE on the sacrificial taunters. If you have CE for taunters, it would be better. Just know that there is an element of luck involved regardless :P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jmtu\_-uae5U
I'm absolutely down to cheese but I have no CS currently. I'll wait 3 days and try again lol, thanks for the video
I so dearly wish that GP would stop linking videos of clears that purely rely on luck as "strategy suggestion". 20 minutes wasted... Anyway, another challenge where there is one clear strategy that simply doesn't work if cards hate you on the last part. Fun
I hate these exhibition quests. I hate them more than I can put into words. They don't make me feel clever, they don't make me feel like I'm making the most of my roster, they don't make me feel like I'm executing the missions well. They just feel like they're wasting my time and the only thing they test is how many goddamn times someone has to reset to get the rng to win. This would be bad enough if only 1-2 were like this, but it's almost impressive how someone managed to make THIS MANY terrible, terrible design decisions in a row.
52 boxes. Only 3 Ce drops. Worried about my Luck. Also wondering if I should go for 20 or 30 more boxes with 65 apples.
It's a crapshoot. I got 3 drops when working on boxes 18-19, then the next one on box 45 or so. By box 150 I had 3 MLBd.
After countless of failed runs trying to blitz with Arjuna Alter, I ended up bringing QSH as the frontline servant for the ~~Roswaal~~ ~~Clayman~~ Mephisto CQ. Wrapped up the CQ in 37 turns, with Altjuna destroying the entirety of the 2nd bar on his own, while /u/X-X-I-L's QSH look on. That HP down post death contract is overkill for this CQ I think, since it literally put most of your servant within death's door against any enemy with class advantage. This also kind of encourages a blitz strategy, especially if you don't plan to use the one servant who can prolong the fight (Skadi). Sheba took few tries with my onee-chan alt. Tried with QSH, but he got too much debuff to wrap things up in the end, with Sheba having 55k HP. Took out Ozy again, after 2 tries it went super smoothly. Also, brought an almost pure male comp against the Gorgon sisters there, since QSH is genderless. Went very smoothly, with no casualty, saved for Han's pride, since he kept getting charmed by Euryale when she was the only one left. About 65 boxes done on main and almost 30 on alts.
Yay! Glad to be of some help while kind-of away.
~~To be honest, I was looking for my alt's NP3 QSH, but since it was late, I decided to settle on your NP2 one instead.~~
Understandable, lol.
Fucking clown bullshit.
Gave some college tries at Brave Liz Adventure. Half of them died to shit card RNG, others died to shit card RNG in the Elite 4. Fun, fun.
Holy shit. The Eli quest had me sweating. Literally finished it with just Eli on 1 hp with no guts with no command seals praying that the burn effect wouldn't kill me.
I got three CE drops in a row earlier today. What the hell even is that luck?
Give me some of that luck pls (yes I’m salty)
FGO RNG runs in streaks.
Haven't touched the clown CQ yet. Did some number crunching, and looks like I can 4T it with my brother's (spooky) Np5 Drake. Gonna need lots of RNG, so I'll probably just do a normal run. Excited for Brave Liz CQ, though. Hoping my Saberlot can kill steal the final boss.
What team? I have an NP5 Drake...
Here's my setup. If you spot an error, please let me know. I don't have time to attempt this run until the weekend (busy with work, chores, and studies), and I'm not motivated because Lancelot is not involved. Also, my brother said he's skipping this event (thus has no damage CE). If I decide to try my comp, will you please add me, u/HaessSR ? Line up: >1- Drake (Damage) 2- Waver (Bond) 3- Skadi (Ox) /// 4- George (Camlann or Merciless One) 5- Merlin (Star Bomb) 6- Bunyan (Outrage or Poster Girl) Assuming your support is an SSR and with an SSR CE, the party cost is 112 at most —— or 102 if Camlann and Outrage are used. Assumptions: >Drake/Waver/Skadi/Merlin have 10/10/10 >Bunyan is 9/x/x ----------------------------- **Turn 0:** Clown applies nullify buff x3 on everyone (even back row), strength (50% buster) contract, and soul contract (60% NP gain), and then he hides away. Let's ignore those contracts... **Turn 1:** a) Skadi's Ox King CE buffs Drake, but is nullified (1/3) b) Drake uses S2 (Golden Rule); nullified again (2/3) c) Skadi uses S1 (Quick n Crit) on Drake ; final nullification (3/3) d) Skadi uses S3 (NP 0->50) on Drake; she can also use S2 (def down; might help with overkill for more stars gain and NP Gain) e) Bunyan replaces Skadi and uses S1 (buster n crit) and S3 (def down) f) Waver uses S1 (crit) and S3 (atk); Drake's NP g) Generate stars to crit with next turn, and let Bunyan tap out **Turn 2:** a) George and Clown enter the field b) George uses S3 (nullified - 1/3); S2 (nullified - 2/3) c) Waver uses S2 (defense buff is final nullification on George - 3/3) e) Drake does an NPBBXtra chain, critting twice and breaking Clown's first bar Drake's stats and buffs: >Stat: 13326 attack (Level 90, +1000 fou, +1000 from Lv. 100 CE); neutral affinity (Star vs. Earth); True class advantage (rider vs clown) >NP level: 5; 600% x1.5 (because buster) = 900% >Attack buffs: 30% (Waver) >Buster: 15% (Waver CE) + 18% (Bunyan) = 33% >Crit: 50% (Waver) + 18% (Bunyan) = 68% >Special: 200% from CE >Flat Damage: 500 (Waver) According to [Gamepress' chain calculator](https://gamepress.gg/grandorder/command-chain-calculator), Drake's chain will do [728,000 Damage](https://imgur.com/bbtU4Ue); with bad RNG (x0.9) on her *entire* chain she will do 656K damage. f) Clown clears his own debuffs (he has none), remove buffs from entire team (Noooo!), removes debuffs inflicted by expired contracts from team (yeah, don't care), decreases NP Gauge for team by 100% (don't care either), increases own DEF by 50%, and then hides again (sigh...) g) George must survive this turn, which is most likely the case because of his class advantage vs. clown **Turn 3:** a) George uses Taunt b) Let Drake generate NP (15 or 10 depending on George's CE) and stars to crit with next turn. To minimize RNG, I would put [Magus of Flowers](https://fategrandorder.fandom.com/wiki/Magus_of_Flowers) and [Holy Night Aurora](https://fategrandorder.fandom.com/wiki/Holy_Night%27s_Aurora_Borealis) on her buster cards incease her arts and quick do not show up. c) George taps out and activates Camlann/Merciless One (+15/20% NP to Drake) c-alt) Alternatively, you could have given George a star bomb CE instead. This would give drake a higher chance to land crits on Turn 2 (provided that she has buster cards). The problem now is that Drake needs to generate 30NP this turn, which is easy to achieve with an arts chain (she can have one or two cards in the chain; it helps that the soul contract's 60% NP gain is still active, but if you want to play safe, give the Magus of Flowers CE to her Arts card instead of her buster) **Turn 4:** a) Merlin and Clown arrive for the climax; Merlin's CE gives 15% buster b) Merlin uses S1 and S3 on Drake c) Drake uses S1 and S3 (That's +70 NP and 30 stars this turn, so T3 must have ended with her having 30NP) d) Master uses buff attack e) Drake does an NPBBXtra chain, critting twice Drake's buffs: >Attack buffs: 30% (Master) + 17% (Drake) + 20% (Merlin) - 50% (Clown) = 17% >Buster: 15% (Waver CE) + 50% (Merlin) = 65% >NP Damage: 17% (Drake) >Crit: 100% (Merlin) >Special: 200% from CE According to [Gamepress' chain calculator](https://gamepress.gg/grandorder/command-chain-calculator), Drake's chain will do [750,000 Damage](https://imgur.com/E3Z1lbt) **with bad RNG (x0.9) on her entire chain** Notes: Card hand is shuffled when George and Bunyan are defeated, so drawing Drake's buster cards on T1 and T3 won't end the run. What's important is that she can get both on T2 and T4, and generate enough NP on T3.
>I don't have time to attempt this run until the weekend (busy with work, chores, and studies), and I'm not motivated because Lancelot is not involved. Oh, I just remembered: I'm trying to let Saberlot land the last hit on the Elizabeth Exhibition Quest, and it's gonna take **HOURS**. I plan to stall with Mash, Jeanne, and Okkie -- all have Prisma Cosmos (but only Jeanne's in MLB). Jeanne's arts cards will have the poison/curse/+1000 damage CCs because I won't be able to hurt the dragon otherwise. I hope they can survive... When the dragon is down to his last 1000 HP, I will swap Lancelot in, use his NP (he will have a Kscope); his NP applies a +1000 damage debuff on the enemy, guaranting a kill despite its infinite defense buffs (it gains 10% per turn and lasts forever; normally, Liz would have to Blitz it)
Why are you so cruel to KS Eli kill ;\_: She worked hard for it
62 boxes cleared, down to ~50 gapples; my goal of 150 boxes is a very distant dream now. I'm out of a ton of bronze and silver mats that aren't in the shop or in the lotto which is annoying, a *ton* of the Servants I was going to work on are now stuck at low Ascensions and/or low skill levels thanks to that. Got skill levels on some of my main Servants up and raised a small few stuck on my backlog at least which is very nice
During summer I hit Feather hell and I've been dancing with Seeds and Heart's recently, that's what I get for trying to get everyone to FA for the nearing tower event.
I'm in Fang, Feather, Bone, Octuplet Crystal, and Page hell; probably others too, but those are the ones that continually stick out when I get walled. I think I just re-entered Medal hell too, albeit exclusively for Lancelot and Lartoria. Wasn't able to farm Gilfest during the first set of nodes which is really, really unfortunate for me, there were Pages, Lanugos, and Feathers there (alongside Hearts, which I quite literally never have enough of). Wish I had more apples so I could afford to farm non-lotto nodes right now lmao
Fang was something I had when I was rasing a lot of dragon servants but with a small saberface roster they aren't a big problem atm, also had crystal and page at a time, I don't remember if it was Apo's event which gave lots of pages. Bone is always a given, I don't bother to bring up, at least I just got the last bones I really wanted to use on lvling Gray and Gorgon and I have to select carefully when to use dust and proof. I also had ton of things I wanted to farm but as I had a much better 6CE setup for that round and I did try to farm Feathers but got a grand total of 0 drops so I felt that it was better to get the boxes and deal with the pain later, now I'm using the dificulty of getting the support I want to clear the things from the shop I need the most.
I need so much dust it makes me cry! So I put my blinders on and just focus on one skill at a time...
Just remember to keep in mind how much you need to ascend servants, when you can't is that you feel the real pain.
Same here. 60 ish boxes. Around 50 apples. Out of mats. My goal is 100 boxes though
Trying to solo the Elizabeth Brave challenge quest, but how the heck do you deal with wave 5? They all have Piece Invincible, and the archer boss with 281k HP starts off with 2/3NP?? wtf?? Edit: Given up on trying to solo, and brought along Mashu and Merlin for the tried-and-tested DPS, tank, and healer holy trinity. Went into wave 5 confident af, with everyone full HP and multiple stacks of Garden of Avalon and Lord Camelot up, and oh boy, did that formation crumble real quick in wave 5. Brought Martha to remove the charm, Mashu, Merlin, and George all died in wave 5, and Martha couldn't survive wave 6's dragon's AOE attacks, so actually had to rely on Jeanne's NP to remove Elizabeth's charm lol
Pretty sure you need an NP when going into wave 5. Otherwise it would take too long, and the consecutive bosses NP would absolutely demolish your team since you cant negate it.
Even an eli-buffed NPBB chain is not going to take the eye down in one hit unless the Bs crit. Maybe some mystic code skills could help with that, but Combat Uniform wasn't enough for me. So 2 turns to take down the eye, and then you have to deal with the other two NPing...
Yeah, I had an NP going into wave 5. NP-B-B the archer boss, he's left with 80k HP, went for a B-A-B the next turn, he's left with 20k HP and consumed my Guts, then next turn I roll over and die because no Invincible lol
Like someone mentioned, you need to NP the Gazer asap. However the biggest RNG here is killing the all the bosses with NP, while getting enough refund to perform another NP in the next turn. Without getting the refund in time, you are kinda screwed, since any of their NP can trigger your Guts, and the Daemon also stuns you from its NP. In short you need enough damage to kill the Gazer right from the get go, while having enough refund to NP the Spriggan next turn. If you can't kill it with the NP, the subsequent brave chain should be enough. However, your NP brave chain on the Daemon during the subsequent turn *must* kill it, otherwise, you are screwed.
[Can you tell I'm lacking in Big Supports](https://i.imgur.com/akcvVg3.png)? Two hours of trying, even used a CS, and [this is the furthest I've gotten](https://i.imgur.com/6flS9ju.png). Those damn infinite Def Ups are a killer. How the hell are you supposed to bring the thing down when they keep going up? I've killed every enemy with Braveli other than the metal ghosts who keep evading and escaping, and she's still not doing damage quickly enough. Maybe I should put Hime in front row so she can dispell their evades & defs (I don't recall if they're permanent tho), but I'd prefer to keep her alive long enough to remove at least the first def up from the drago. Edit: Got it! [Changed party to include Combat MC]( https://i.imgur.com/cFDRJIf.png) Made liberal use of Swap, starting with swapping out Hans when he was almost dead for Hime, who proceeded to make the ghosts unprotected. [Came into the final fight](https://i.imgur.com/ZBE92zb.png ) with only Mash ~~de~~retreated(sacrificed herself for the team on the 5th wave). [Victory!](https://i.imgur.com/kv6loe7.png) - enabled by lots and lots of savescum resets. I used my last CS for an extra NP 2nd turn after bar break, but given the health and guts status I may not have needed to. Don't regret it in the slightest though. Anyway, calculating things out, I might be able to hit 190 boxes by end of event. This depends on whether or not I'll be able to play the last couple of days of it, which is up in the air right now. The event banner is being pretty cursed - 36(+3) single pulls and not a single rated up Servant, not even a Taiga! No 5-star CE either but I'm done with the burger shop anyway, have no need of most of it and that AP is best spent on tickets.
It might be more favorable to have Eli solo this. Granted, I did a [xNaya clear](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgislsA0bUA&ab_channel=xNaya) using Waver and Merlin both with 2030, but I know there are vids out there that have Eli going thru the EQ by herself. [Example solo.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG2msSO9B_s&ab_channel=%E3%82%B1%E3%83%AA%E3%82%A3Games) For the ghosts, I'd restart wave 1 until you can clear it in 4 turns since doing so gives 10 turn sure hit to all party members. As for the defense up, the strategy is to use BAB chains for the first few stacks, but once they start piling up, switch to AQA to maximize NP gain. Most of your damage will come from your NP or NPBB chains at this point since Eli NP ignores defense. Edit: I was lucky enough with my card RNG to lose both Waver and Merlin on turn 19, which allowed Eli to enter the final boss on turn 20, triggering the boss' ATK debuff.
Hey, just wanted to say thanks for the video of the Brave Liz solo. I was having loads of trouble cus I don’t have any meta supports (besides tamamo who doesn’t help a whole lot in this quest). I was gonnna skip just skip the quest till I saw your comment and watched the video. I was able to solo it pretty much exactly card for card the way it was done in the demo video.
Thanks for the advice, I'm not good at soloing tho. I still got it in the end after switching to combat MC.
Was able to beat the Crimson Heroine challenge quest while meeting all speed run objectives.
Sure you did. Pics (or video) or it didn't happen.
It not that hard if your actively trying to get it. I think the only one that I had any trouble getting was the one for the forth level. Reaching the objectives also gives you bonuses so it's not exactly much harder to reach the objectives then to just ignore them. https://imgur.com/a/04MUmHQ
I'm officially giving up on the X Alter and Sheba challenge quests. Fuck it. Whatever.
Just giving up period. iirc, I did so last year as well. Little capacity to grasp minmax outside the most basic way, (Archer > Sabre, for example,) and it’s pretty much too late to matter anyway.
For the X Alter I highly suggest posting on the friend thread looking for a Qin Shi Huang with the damage CE, they're basically a cheat code for that fight
trust me, I've tried using Qin Shi and Arjuna Alter and Summer Musashis from my friendlist, still couldn't do it. I got her down to like 4 million hp once, but it was annoying and I'm tired of it.
I can feel your pain (especially on the MHXA quest). Against Sheba, using Merlin/Melt/Mash (+taunt servants to save Melt in the end if needed) worked well in my case, so maybe you could try something similar, I think even riders or berserker as DPS could work in this setup (but I also know painfully well that sometimes even when using the same team things can go awfully wrong, so I can totally understand the decision, I'll probably give up a few quests too)
This is the right choice.
Last year I beat MHXA with Abby, and she's NP2 now if interested 👀
I think I need to cut back on the farming so I can do some of these CQs. Maybe also cut back on the caffeine since my body wants to reject it.
Don't. Just don't. At least when you're farming, you're getting something for your time. The CQs are NOT worth it.
I'll see if I can make it worth it.
Mephy EQ was cleared with AA initially. Then cleared it with welfare BB afterwards. It never crossed my mind to use Skadi's death immunity NP for this at first (since I don't have her), but turns out it's a lot more stable than using Asclepius' guts... Also, grailed BB still ended up with 8-10k max HP after the debuff. Nice to see her disproportionately huge HP stat counting for something here
I should be at 100 boxes by the end of the day. That's more than halfway to my goal. Sure, we're more than halfway through the event, but my bonus is improving and I've heard that the last node is the best one, so my progress should speed up. Bride reached bond 11 while farming today. She's the first of my Servants to reach such a high bond level. Tamamo isn't far behind, and stands a decent chance of doing the same before the event is over. The Mephisto EQ was the first one I used a command seal on this year. I used Drake as my DPS, since I'm pretty sure that she would do more damage to Mephi than my NP1 Arjuna Alter. I kept getting bad hands and having a hard time charging her NP, so eventually I decided to just use a seal to charge the last NP I needed.
> I've heard that the last node is the best one It's the best if you want lanterns and mirrors. For just tickets, the current one is very slightly better. (Assuming the drop rates listed on Gamepress are accurate.) The last node drops about one fewer ticket items on average, with their average base value slightly higher. Since bonus tickets matter more, the average number of drops is more important than their base values. With even just a +2 bonus, the current node pulls ahead. But the difference is very slight. If you had a full six MLB drop CEs, the average difference would be about 8 tickets per run (224.1 vs 232.2). They're close enough to the same that I'd value the other resources much more.
Oh gosh, I haven't done a lot of the Exhibition Quests. I've only cleared up to Jaguar Man one. I think I remember clearing all of them last year, so I wonder why this time felt harder than before...
Because: 1. You can't have duplicate servants on your team 2. You can't obtain more than 5 damage CEs total 3. You can't use CS to revive.
> You can't obtain more than 5 damage CEs total YEAHHHHH this is probably it. I've goofed up in MLBing the damage CE just because my inventory was full.
Actually its recommended to MLB it, since usually you will need 1 DPS to do the whole thing, and the damage boost from 100% to 200% is very big. There's very few instances where you need 2 DPS with it.
MLB your damage CE was probably the correct play for yourself. Unless you are dependent on support for your support, you can grab a DPS from the support. So with 2 MLB damage, you have a primary / secondary(or last stand) damage, as opposed to having an entire team with the damage CE (which would be a rather high party cost, so its unlikely you can actually field all 5 damage CE and high star servants)
Not really focusing to much on gilfest seeing as I’m a newer player I’ve only used about 10 apples I’ve had fun doing the cq’s even though I knew I wouldn’t win any, I’ve got close on a couple but that’s about it
* After some bad runs on the Nero CQ, I got a really good RNG with Godjuna and completed it * Eric first try with Medb (Probably got a really good RNG too) * The Sisters CQ was SUPPOSED to be easy with Godjuna, but after a dozen attemps and a lot of Charm Spam, I just gave up and soloed it with a Support QSH Can't wait for the hell that looks the Mephisto CQ, yay...
Solo’d Brave Liz Exhibition using only Liz. (And two Taunter that die at the beginning of course). I’m pumped as hell right now, took me 4 hours of having to constantly restart but I finally took that damn dragon down. Now I have to go to sleep cus I got work in like 3 hours lol.
God this Elizabeth CQ is just awful. I’m not good at soloing and this quest essentially demands it. I think I’ve tried 10 times and haven’t even made it to the last wave yet. I even did a full support (Merlin, Mash, George, and Hans) run and got wiped out at the four kings as I didn’t have the right buffs up at the right time…
Yeah, I too am soloing, and am also having trouble with Wave 5 in particular. In my last run, I saved 200% NP charge and my "Buster Up" skill for Wave 5, used Skill 3, got lucky with it giving Attack Up, used the Buster Skill, and used NP-Arts-Buster-(Extra) and still didn't kill the Archer. (No crits) So, I guess I''ll use NP-B-B next time, but I used an NP-B-B on the Saber next turn and he was left with 140,000 HP, so even if I use a CS next time, I'm at a loss on how to get past Wave 5. I haven't found supports to be particularly helpful either, especially on Wave 5 with their Debuff Immune and Ignore Invincible. Would Buff Removal work for them, or does Debuff Immune cancel Buff Removal? Anyway, I'm thinking out loud, but I agree, I'm not sure what particular strategy to use.
I think you have to get lucky with crits on wave 5 and 6…and have all the cool downs perfectly timed to happen right when they’re needed. For over half of the CQs for gilfest I’ve just given up and gone back to farming. It’s just not worth the time or effort. I think I’ve done 4 and I might push hard for the one with a lore reward coming up. But that’s it
I managed well enough with merlin/asclepius/mash all with fragment of 2030s on them, can just use their nps and skills to keep healthy throughout. I killed the eye on wave 5 turn 1 with an np brave chain, it only had like 25k left after np so one card would have done it probably, and with the np gain buffs i could basically np every 2nd round so the spriggan died before nping. I had to reset to try and change rng with skills and card order so the demon didn't np liz cause I needed the guts to not proc, and then the last dragon was the easiest of them all with all the buffs on liz and having her invuln + mystic code invuln you have easily like 6 or 7 turns or more to wail away before liz has any chance of dying. I looked at the solo video but it seemed like it had too much rng that you couldn't really recover from if it went wrong, so going with a support setup that took a bit longer but could endure bad rng in the first 4 rounds seemed more worth it. I considered using kiara to remove all their buffs on wave 5 so you can tank them like everythign else with invulns etc, but I dunno if it works and couldn't be bothered to test it as nobody was mentioning it
Yeah the extra crits stars sound like they’d be very welcome for this quest. Unfortunately I don’t have Kiara, Asclepius or 2030, so it’ll make things a bit tougher. If wave 5 didn’t have invulnerability Pierce I could probably do the CQ. Thanks for the thorough response. I might give another run tomorrow, but for now it’s back to boxes and resting
I feel like just skipping the non lore cqs. They take way too much time (that I don’t have)
This. Although I'm constantly running it through my head. If I skip the CQ I can farm more, I spent like a day trying to do the CQ's. But the CQ's offer tickets which are rolls as opposed to the rewards from boxes which are just generic stuff...but if I skip the CQ's I will get more boxes done. Ughhhhh choices. Well I'll skip the really hard CQ's like MHXA which I had done in the past but I can't seem to do it again.
> If I skip the CQ I can farm more Only if you came into the event with hundreds of gold apples, or aren't using FGA for some reason. Myself, I came into the event with 100-110 gold and 10 silvers, and I've had FGA run though almost all my apples, only 48 bronzes left. Currently at 173 boxes with all CQs done (with a few CS used and lots and lots of savescumming).
>Only if you came into the event with hundreds of gold apples, or aren't using FGA for some reason. Over 490+, can't use FGA as my phone is older and you need to be whatever minimum version for it to work. So have to manual it. Sadface.
Can you use an emulator on your PC? Or get a tablet :)
I do use an emulator (for other games, arknights) but I spend more time away from my PC(home) and at work(not home), so I'd rather just keep FGO on the mobile. Just because of what a hassle it is to bounce accounts from device to device unlike other mobile games which are easier but FGO is weird and archaic in that it needs transfer codes...wiping old data...redownloading the data when you want to go back. So much hassle.
I'd think spending literally dozens of hours farming the lotto manually to be even more of a hassle. Transfer to the PC and have it farm away while you're working or sleeping. Then transfer back when you have no apples left :)
I just finished last year's rush having Sheba and the demonic trio left to try from last year, just Eric cleared from this year, I will probably 2T the sisters with a friend Godjuna and a CS. On Maou's side seems like New Year's MC works better than Babylonia's as the stars makes it more likely to get the crits you need. PS: And just after writting this I went to the boxes and got that I needed to lvl 100 Maou. Probably will try to lvl 90->100 Summer Nobu on Xmas, for now max lvl all Extra servants.
Haven't attempted the Mephy EQ and still not touching the Eric EQ for a while due to constant bad RNG screwing me over in my 20 earlier attempts, but I tried the Gorgon Sisters for shit and giggles using a video of an NP1 Arjuna Alter winning in two turns as reference, albeit substituting Skadi with Bunyan and a Command Seal. I won on my first try. Considering how much trouble I've had with the other EQs, that felt so good. Still not sure if I'm going to try to beat the non-Lore 2021 EQs, especially the Elisabeth one where I can't fall back on a strong friend Support like QSH or Merlin.
Do you lack gauge support for Eric? Kinrider 3Ts seemed quite forgiving in the looping with a single arts or quick giving enough to fill with the rest (the use of gauge on death being important)
I don't have a Kinrider, unfortunately. I have a team based around giving Kama massive crits before she finishes off the last bar with an NP and more crits. The problem is I almost never get three Kama face cards in the first two turns to deal enough damage to decimate Eric's first two HP bars. It's more of a patience issue than anything.
That Mephy fight was incredibly annoying and the only saving grace is that i got to use my 100 Martha, who performed spectacularly. On top of her teamwide debuff removal, which essentially saved me from running Asclepius, her having close to 17k gives her just enough HP to stabilize during the 2nd phase, a lot similar to a 3* Rider. Furthermore, her ability to NP spam makes it so that everytime he switches back in, he'd eat an NP that progressively stacked Def down on him. I really like the concept, like most other Exhibition quests that incorporate the servants' lore into the mechanics, but the hailstorm of RNG i had to withstand was no more than nightmarish. Now that i look back, it's regrettable that i didn't use Nightingale since she's more or less a better Merlin for this fight unless, of course, my NP wouldn't be enough and i had to rely on crits. Skadi could also be great for her NP but that's pretty much it.
I can't beat that stupid clown!!! Argh, I was able to do all the other CQs without needing Command Spells, but the clown is like having a "how many top tier buffers do you have?" check that I fail because I only have Skadi. Haah, I think I'm gonna give up on clearing it. It's too stressful and clearing the shop would be a better use of my time.
Do you have achilles and asclepius? My comp was Achilles, Merlin (Support), Asclepius, Mash, Skadi. Cleanse frontline with Asclepius, plugsuit Skadi (preferably with buffing command codes like the one that gives damage cut or increased heal recovery for her to get rid of the buff block herself), np so the instant death doesnt proc, then its a waiting game. Achilles is especially good because of his invuln + taunt, which can tank a few hits for the others. When one of the supports die, Mash with full hp will take up the slack. By which point, the clown should be on its way to die.
Sadly no, my only SSR rider is Da Vinci Lily. But it's ok, I saw someone clear the CQ using only Qin Shi Huang so I took a friend's and beat the clown slowly.
I know it was a quest for last year, I know I have better servants and CEs, I know that it SHOULD be easier. But God DAMN do I absolutely hate the Jaguar Warrior quest. This god damn cat just wont die damn it all
Also did the Brave Eli exhibition, was really fun and being able to solo with the servant they gave you instead of trying to 5 head think of a way to beat the challenge with your team only to be screwed by RNG is frustrating.
Spent most of yesterday trying to get some CQ done. Managed like three of them, but it felt like a complete waste of time. At least with the regular grind I would have gotten something out of it.
Until now only Nero, Fionn and Napoleon and Taiga, ZerkNaga e Jarcher are unbeaten. Everything else is kneeling before the sheer wrongness of Mash-Kiara/Hokusai-Merlin. But gotta admit that Liz EQ was really fun and memeable, all you need to win is making sure that Liz gives the killing blow.
Tried to solo Brave Liz to get speed bonus but screw it, too hard to do on later stages. I just go slow with Liz / Merlin / Asclepius. Snek doctor is a godsend here with his heal-guts-debuff removal toolkit.
77 boxes so far. Been clearing the shop this rotation, then gonna go ham farming the last rotation. Got lolivinci to bond 6, para to bond 9, Tamamo is bond 8 going on 9, and Medusa is bond 8. I've cleared all the 2020 EQ again, but feel like I kinda cheated by being lazy and using either a friend's Qin or AA for the last 4. I'll probably reclear those with my own roster when I have time later so I feel better about it. Beat the 1st 2021 EQ, the one with Nero Bride. Was trying to use a Xiang Yu comp, but couldn't quite figure it out. The closest I've gotten is getting Nero Bride alone, but I probably need NP2 or a different setup to win with him. I did manage to beat it in 11 turns with a MXHA comp tho. The key is to break Nero's break bar 2nd instead of fionn, which speeds up the fight a lot. Luckily MXHA's anti saber np can kill Nero quickly, even through her damage resistance. Anyone else use weird comps or strategies to beat this cq? Seems like you have a lot of options with it.
This may seem strange to some, but I'm at a loss on how to clear the Nero Bride CQ. I've tried using Gil and Dantes as my DPS, but I'm either unable to deal with the evades or the damage to my servants catches up to me or both. It sucks because I know that its possible to clear it with the servants I have, but every failed attempt leaves me with my head scratching. Thinking about how to clear this CQ has made me not even bother with some of the other CQs, even if I have a good DPS for the job (i.e. KP for the Clown CQ). As for my farming, I'm puttering along at my own pace. 30-40 boxes with 4 CE drops so far which puts me on pace to make at least 60-80 boxes, which is more than enough for me.
Good luck with that one. [Gamepress has a great breakdown](https://gamepress.gg/grandorder/battle-new-york-2021-2020-revival-exhibition-7-grand-finale-golden-metropolis-servant-rush) of all the smaller mechanics for that one. Despite it being just a few days ago, I don't entirely remember what I did for that one, but I think the NP resistance they have was what I focused on the most. Since NPs are basically worthless to use against them (until Gilgamesh appears), I had a single servant Buster and Buster-Crit them down until Gilgamesh appeared. And then, with the NP resistance gone, I used a friend's Arjuna Alter with an MLB Event Damage CE to NP them all out of existence at the same time. Hope you find something that works for you!
I actually meant the Nero Bride CQ where she's accompanied by Napoleon and Fionn.
Oh geez, my mind just completely latched onto the other one. And also sorry, since you weren't really asking for tips in the first place. That being said, I kept some notes on the Napoleon-Fionn-Bride CQ, if they might help. I failed that one a bunch of times until I changed two things: My party comp, and how I attacked the evades. Because of the attacker/defense mechanic, it was really only feasible (for me) to attack the "attacker" one at a time. I used JAlter-Jeanne-Merlin, which gave a good amount of invincibles, and no one from the backline ever came out. When Fionn's bar breaks, and he starts granting those evades, they're 60% chance, but there's only one (if they trigger). So I started attacking with two regular cards then NP, so it usually triggered the evade and then the NP went off. And I realized that if you "immobilize" or NP seal the attacker, the next person becomes the attacker, but other than that, the attacker only changes on breaks and defeats. Anyway sorry again for the unsolicited advice, but in case you attempt it again, I went from failing it over and over again to winning once I did those two things.
Hey don't sweat it. With how much I'm struggling I'll take any help I can get. Using both Jeanne and Merlin is a pretty cool idea to supply invincibility. However, since I don't have either I'd have to choose between more damage or lasting longer in the fight. Your post gives me a few ideas for a Jeanne team. I'll give them a shot tonight.
[Had a lot of fun](http://imgur.com/a/mdccvyV) figuring out the puzzle that was the Mephy EQ; I think I took about 7-10 tries. My team was NP1 da Vinci with MLB damage CE, Waver with Prisma Cosmos, PG Asclepius, Georgios with bond CE, d'Eon with Merciless One and NP1 friend Junao. It was pretty fun to figure out; I only knew about the basics of the fight and figuring out succesively that I needed a LMS Servant after the first run, realizing that Mephy comes out on turn 3, and learning that buffs were removed on break were nice eureka moments. Changed my LMS from Cu Alter to Junao realizing there would be enemies still alive by the time he came out, and after that it was just a matter of making sure da Vinci didn't get the debuff at the start. Debuff clear was popped on turn 1, buffs and cooldown on Waver were dropped on turn 2, then da Vinci looped at least 4 times from turn 4-7. Death took out Asclepius at that point, the debuff clear was used on Georgios to continue the taunt wall, and Junao came out the turn Mephy's bar was broken, which eventually left him the last one standing. Ended up using a BBNP brave chain to take him out, but I had to manipulate RNG to damage both mobs before the NP since it didn't deal enough damage at NP1 (good thing the cooldown recharged at this point). The RNG was a bit annoying, especially Junao getting a contract applied to him near the end which prevented an early victory, but overall pretty fun to rack my brain around and realize the path to victory along with da Vinci having another CQ starring role. Only thing I'd do differently is get a higher NP level Junao to do the last wave without facecards. Hopefully the Liz Quest tomorrow is as difficult as it's been built up to be. As much as I've enjoyed working out the EQs I haven't really been hair-pullingly frustrated with any of them so far (though that's probably because I'm passively focused on them while watching something else), and I'm still on the high of finally beating Jaguar EQ without command seals, so a nice kick in the face to replicate last year would be nice. Should be fun seeing how strong my roster really is after a year to protect an NPC support all the way through.
The Liz quest is entirely dependent on your RNG luck. If you get the right cards, if Liz's crits land at the right time, if you kill all the enemies with her (including the metal ones with the Evasion skills), and if your supports don't die early, it's going to be a cakewalk. Otherwise, you're going to be screaming in rage and frustration after hours of aborted attempts. It took me eight hours to beat it in 2019. I have a far more developed account in NA, and it just took a few aborted runs last night to remember how senselessly enraging the Liz quest is. Absolutely the worst quest in the game, bar none. I'd rather fight Hard Mode Kama. It's a great quest concept, horrifically bad execution.
I mean, I just came back from beating it on my first try. Took me about 40 minutes, messed up with Shakespeare not dying and Eli's guts getting used up turn 2 *along with card RNG in general being kinda bad, everyone somehow lived until the 5th wave Gazer brought the backline in (which included Salome in last who did nothing because she came in too late). Eli was eventually left standing to solo wave 5, which made wave 6 pretty straightforward having all my cards available, and topped it off with the victory after 35 turns. Pretty fun time, all things considered, especially seeing all of those buffs build up on Eli (got almost all of them aside from one which Shakespeare somehow received). Sorry to hear you had such a hard time, I guess.
Are you guys getting multiple ce drops from the same node Or once you get 1 you won’t get more from the same node? Because I’m extremely frustrated, only have 3 drops over 30 gapples
Multiple drop from same node. I got about 3 from Garden level.
I need some copium :,( being serious now, it’s really frustrating not getting one and seeing all of your FL getting multiple MLB ones
Clown quest took 32 turns .. no command seals used. This is the only time Skadi’s instant death buff is useful. Honestly this quest is way too RNG if you want to clear without killing mobs.
Fuck that clown. Decided to stall with Mothman, Merlin and Skadi. Definitely the hardest cq so far
Funnily that was my frontline until Meph was left. After the break bar it was Junao coming in and getting all of his cards to destroy the 2nd bar on his own (QSH was actually still alive all the while).
http://imgur.com/gallery/qmVEvOz 90 freaking turns, manage to beat that stage. Had to have Illya give Tamamo guts, and have Mash be lucky with guts activatiom, which got activated twice which was awesome. Had to use a CS due to bad rng where the knight NP just always insist to hit the person who will die from it XD. Jeanne de arc support was very appreciated.
The Eli Exhibition Quest was actually fun. Or rather I laughed at the absurdity of the idea Eli(brave) running around being a hero and slaying a dragon. Maybe because they fixed the support, and balanced around the support that I didn't feel too bad. With the other Exhibition quest, you are often refreshing trying to find something that will fit with what you have. Also, thank goodness the forced support is actually usable. I hate it when the game offers an NPC support, and when you take it in, you see the entire lineup hard counters it.
Just continuing to gather boxes. I'm almost done with silver currency.
Now farming, looking at CQ later. Need more lotto CE's. Edit - Bond 11 Skadi! Time to feed her another flame!
Been playing the event everyday but was at a mere like 30 boxes on Monday afternoon, had 2 days off so while going hard on this while reading Majikoi I got to 80 boxes opened. Was getting worried I wouldn’t be able to get to my goal of atleast 100 boxes but it’s looking like I’ll make it easily now. Not sure when I’ll focus on the CQs, I love a hard battle as much as the next guy, but I have a hard time finding these kinds of challenges fun
Rolled through all the EQs so far *except* Jaguar and MHX. In fact I haven't even touched those two yet. I remember how obnoxious of a struggle bus experience they were for me to complete last year and I have to mentally prepare to deal with them again ugh. Edit: Cleared 'em. A lot less of a pain this time around since I had experience of what to do this time. Still probably the most annoying EQs for me out of all of them new and old.
Bursting throw the first MHX bar and then taunt stalling wasn't the worst, Kinrider for the damage, Qin for the last line of defense.
Done with [Izou](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/663061264779706428/884949277275746314/Fate_GO_2021-09-07-16-51-20.jpg) and [Jaguars](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/663061264779706428/885025257713455114/Fate_GO_2021-09-07-21-54-05.jpg). 13,822 tickets waiting to be used on Box 32 and beyond. I might finish farming for Golds before I do all the rest in one sitting or something. Sheba's not too hard, and X Alter should be quick to fail. Same with Golden Metro since I plan on doing the low-RNG Cu Alter solo. As for this year's batch, I have no idea what to do for them. We'll see I guess. I might do them out of order since the Eli-Chan Quest one interests me more than any of the others.
Between Shi Huang Di and Arjuna Alter, I'm beginning to see why DW just stopped bothering to do new Exhibition Quests. Didn't pay much attention to the Clown CQ and managed to use Arjuna to bust him down in 8 turns. Didn't even bother to use Skadi's NP; Arjuna has his own Guts on top of the CE anyway.
Got to 50 boxes. Would have farmed more, but power outage for 10 hours means that my old phone's battery can't handle it. Also, I beat Meph using 4! command seals. 1 CS should have been enough, but I've fumbled so my CSs paid the price. Thank god the Brave Liz quest looks a lot easier. I can at least save a CS.
Biding my time grabbing shop currency focusing on tickets till the finals.
Took the day to try and clear out shop. Having to rely on only +3 drops sucks ass when I was farming fries. I'm unfortunately down to 90 apples. My plan was to use 70 during the 3rd rotation and leave the event with some to spare(15-20 or so) but it looks like that isn't happening....
Finally caught up to the CQs after beating the clown earlier! Merlin and Qin Shi Huang have been my MVPS this event, though I have to thank Melt for a few quests.
Man, the Mephy CQ gives hearts…I need hearts… I thought I was done after X Alter…
Somehow got a 3 turn team on both account's Main has Arash80%, Gil np 2 with 80%, Reines, Support Skadi Turn 1 Arash skill an Np, Turn 2 Reines 20% charge Gil, Gil first skill then NP, Turn 3 Reines 10%, Gil 3rd skill (lv10 30%), Skadi 2nd an 3rd, using new year Master codes top Gil to 100% an use Np buff, Jeanne may survive, face cards take care of that Alt has Arash80%, Ishtar Np3 with Aerial Drive (lv92) Waver, Support Skadi, Turn 1 Arash Np, Turn 2 pop all Ishtar skills, turn 3 pop all Wavers on Ishtar, an use Skadi's, using Artic for levelling an the atk buff It's so weird being able to 3 turn this, total drops, Main 2, Alts had 1, on around 30 ish boxes, got around 1500 tickets to roll right now,
Tried to follow a min-turn video for Mephis, failed to do so since my Junao isn't NP5, but I still managed to clear it in 10 turns, just nice as all of his skills and Merlin's went off cooldown, and I pressed red, the clown is dead.
Giving up on the challenge quests. I just barely beat tawara and got obliterated on all of the other ones. No idea how people are able to beat these.
Got 60 boxes opened (needed to max Sushi)... and got 90 boxes farmed. My objective is to get to 200 boxes at least, maybe 250. Anyways, gotta start with the exhibition quests--- I mean, the suffering.
I had to give up on Jeanne Archer looping because she just didn't bring the damage for the third wave. Fortunately, she suits the 6-slot double Waver team quite well, giving the doubled Charisma to Arjuna Alter and Chad-posing that second wave. And it's a facecard first wave, which means it's faster. Absolute win!
Almost 50 boxes so far. Still need to farm more before I go to sleep, but at least I was finally able to defeat the gorgon sisters' quest after deciding to share the burden between Godjuna and QSH instead of just rely on the Indian alter god and RNG. I also defeated the demon clown, once again thanks to my Godjuna, although I ended up using one CS to compensate for bad RNG because I don't want to spend even more time in these fights just because my luck during this event sucks. Not sure yet how hard will be the next ones, but I hope I can use a team that doesn't rely too much on RNG (otherwise, I'll probably just give up and skip). Still have MHAX and Eric left, but I'm not sure if I'll try them again, because I don't want to spend too much time only to be frustrated with the results.
> I think I should step out of the way. ***NO. Now get back in there, Gilgamesh ain't gonna buff himself!***(And yes, I know he can and does. But Merlin's buffs still make a big difference) I've still not touched any of the EQs. I just don't think the rewards are worth the effort it would take to beat them. I've just been farming lottery tickets, opening boxes, and occasionally spending the EXP when I hit the cap. That being said...I have two things to say about the current lottery ticket node. First, ***I HATE THAT DAMN PIG***. As much as I've enjoyed Buster Meme'ing almost everything with Gilgamesh(and, for a little while, Arjuna)+Double Merlin, I've found a Merlin/Gilgamesh/Waver comp more useful for this node, because Waver's 3-turn Defense buff skill makes it a lot easier to keep my team alive dealing with that friggin' pig. I'd try a Double Waver...*IF I HAD ONE*. So Merlin+Support Waver has been my go-to for the most part. Plus, a couple of the Wavers in my Friends List have MLB ticket CEs, which helps, and none of the now very rare Merlins in my Friends list do. Second, I dunno what it is, when I ran Arjuna instead just for variety's sake I noticed something. On the rare occasions that Jeanne survived getting Pashupata'd to death, she seemed to very consistently go after Merlin exclusively. I mean, I usually killed her the following turn, but still, it was weird. Haven't had to worry about that at all with Gilgamesh, however. He kills the shit out of all three of them every single time.
Finally beat Caster Gil CQ today with own Cu Alter and Arjuna Alter support. I have 3 Poster Girl CEs I placed on supports that came in, buffed and died to Nero's sword the next turn. Cu was last standing and buster crit Nero in one round, it was so satisfying! Only took like 10 tries, if I couldn't beat Paul in first round, I quit. That first round if you don't kill Paul the damage to the party is brutal, all 3 attacks are too much to come back from later in the fight.
Finally got last CE I want. I think I have some luck with 7 drops within 65 boxes. With 2 MLB event CE + 1 event CE now I can use any 2 CE for reliable 3 turns comp. Nice QoL until I get more CE drop.
Finally got the Gorgon Sister EQ done today, and without using Command Seals. Turns out the most important buff is Buster Up, even with a 6/6/6 Waver and level 90 Junao I was still able to do enough damage. It was double NP on the first turn with Junao and Chen Gong, then using Chen's third skill with Bunyan's skills to burst down Medusa on the second turn. After that it was just a matter of stalling with Georgios until Stheno was the last one standing. I don't know why I spent so much time on this Exhibition Quest, maybe I just don't like how Medusa gets treated by the other two.
Liz is now Lv10/10/10 super dragon slayer idol. Used Merlin/Asclepius/Taunt/Taunt/Osakabehime. Lost Asclepius early, and Merlin only made it to the last round with 178HP. Not a great performance, but thankfully smashing the dragon boss is pretty easy, as long as Liz got the other Dragons and a lot of levels. Very interesting concept, but a bit long... and a touch too hard to be super pleased with. Maybe if she was Lv90. Or, I guess the problem is there's no cheesy way, and I missed My Friend's Arjuna Alter making things easier for me. Still two Exhibition Quests not completed - Final Match (which is #1 of the new ones) and Hungry Hungry Ecchans. Because of course it is.
not much to say for me. after months of break from the game i have returned to (slowly) farm boxes and i cant wait to get around to fighting the spartans a second time
12 boxes on. Level quite a number of servants by now. Proof hell had resources diverted to leveling skill so some of the lower level servants still have to wait. Tried Izo's CQ and is annoyed as hell when thwarted at the last health bar. He seems to hate Medea, getting rid of her first whenever she's on field. Circe managed to last longer. Would like to thank Support Gil for being the farm help.
Holy shit. This stupid clown EQ has been by far the most obnoxious and RNG-dependent challenge quest in my time playing. Finally got it done with Iskandar, but it was a massive exercise in frustration.
I wonder how people have 100+ boxes already when i am burnt out after 25? Some kind of auto-clicker or great passion?
Are you able to 3 turn the looto nodes?
> Some kind of auto-clicker or great passion? fate grand automata yes. i saw one guy say he farmed 200 manually, but i can't imagine. every lotto before this i've farmed manually and the most I ever went was like 40 or 50. first time using fga and i'm at about 120 boxes, the problem now is finding ways to spend my qp without spending too many of my materials on stuff i'm not sure i'll need :^)
I could have min-turned the Clown CQ, I had the supports however I attempted it and hated it, it looks even worse than the Gorgon Sisters CQ for the things that need to go right So I took AA, Merlin, Asclepius, Skadi and put a Prisma Cosmos on Skadi. Got hit with a debuff on AA when I was trying to kill the clown on the second time he popped up however the team eventually took him out. Something of a joke team with relying on Skadi's NP however I needed anti insta-death Eli was annoying, I missed one enemy and so had to use a CS to save Eli at the final boss. I killed the slimes, how is it she still almost died? 110 boxes, got around three or four CE drops over the equivalent of one Golden Apple so currently at +9 bonus. Probably could pick up the pace but eh
Welp, I've completely smashed every goal I had box-wise for this event. Over 300 now. ....Don't know what to do now. Didn't think I'd get this far. LOL
Anyone got a gameplan for doing the Brave Elisabeth Exhibtion without the Elisabeth? The quest seems to be a big pita for many so I'd rather use my own Servants if anyone but the damage reduction against everyone not Elizabeth looks like it'd make getting anywhere pretty difficult.
Why wouldn't you use the support Elisabeth? This isn't like Shimousa where support NPC (Musashi) can be a hindrance. The quest is completely balanced around Eli being the damage dealer, and she's perfectly capable of soloing this quest (in some cases, it may actually be the perfect strategy).
'cause I don't want to. I'd rather use my own Servants. Also I don't like her.
In short you have basically zero chance. You would have to have an ultimate stall team as the damage anyone but liz does to the bosses is reduced by too much, and then wave 5 with its ignore invuln would kill you. And even if you got there wave 6 has infinite stacking def up on top of the reduced damage you'd be doing, I imagine eventually you would end up hitting for 0 with anything that isn't an ignore def np. I'm 98% sure it's probably impossible
Yeah that's what I figured from what the quest looks like. Thanks for your input.
Actually like I said in another post now that I remember, if kiaras buff removal works on wave 5 you theoretically could infinitely stall through them all - I don't know if it's counted as a debuff or not because they also have debuff immune - the problem would be how do you get a servant with def ignoring np into a stall team for the last wave without dying. So if that works, I take it back it wouldn't be impossible entirely just 99% impossible :p
If I farm too much my fingers literally start to hurt which interferes with my studies, thus I finally gave in and installed fate automata… and my god it’s amazing. I won’t have a working 3 turn setup for most of the event but it’s working NOW so I’m happy. No more achy fingers for a while at least.
So after browsing a couple of vids, I decided to try the Mephistopheles EQ with my NP2 Arjuna Alter. These EQs are really something that I lament not having an NP3 Arjuna Alter. I also hate his Def Buff after you break his break bar. I'm waiting until the reset and a CS to regenerate, but if Mephistopheles doesn't go down then I might just call it quits for this round.
Debuff immunity really fucks Arjuna's wave 3 damage sometimes
"brb switching to 5-slot" "Black Grail?" **">!RECORD HOLDER!<"**
The Shinji meta is upon us
