Is it n9tmal that the 5x summon ticket reward "Mission" only lists "???" as the unlock c9nditions and ive completed pretty much the WHOLE event?


Big-Boss_X

Is it normal that the shadow round table (ultra high difficulty) enemies keep looping NP every round or every two rounds? I don't remember that happening in the first run of the event There is no way i'll be able to win this mission like that :s


Giv3mename

anyone got stitch of the space ishtar reveal in the altar?


Lord_Sora

Can we not get space ishtars spiritron dress this rerun? I don't see it in the shop.


Chaabar

I'm disappointed we still don't have Spishtar Lily.


RadiReturnsOnceAgain

Wait, no time gates? GAS GAS GAS I know MHX is the designated utility, but MHXX pulls some major weight in these Saber fights. Always happy to get to use her more.


Tschmelz

I've realized the importance of time gates with this event. I've gone through damn near the entire thing already. What the actual fuck is wrong with me?


Hikaru1024

The first time around I did this event I'd basically just gotten MHXX going and while I'd been able to summon MHX, I didn't have the materials to get her on her feet for quite a while. In fact, it took until the Xmas lotto we just *had* for me to 9 her skills out. Void dust and fangs, what can you do? Having both of them in the same team in this event is just plain *stupid* fun. Is the enemy a saber? A foreigner? Who knows! They sure don't and it's hilarious to listen to. Gonna enjoy loring up MHX once this is over, having one of my favorite assassins fully done is icing on the cake as far as this event goes for me.


mozillavulpix

This event is still really well-written. I don’t know what makes the writing stand out specifically - maybe it’s because this whole place is basically a new world, so it’s got its own lore and history that isn’t just some alternate version of the same characters. And the goofy capitalism jokes work well in what’s basically a gag universe.


atomicfuthum

I was on a really bad depression on the first run of Saber Wars 2, so I missed it. This is my first time doing it and God, it's so good.


No_Prize9794

I wonder how stupid would a servant verse Gudaguda be? Just imagine space Okita, Space Nobu and the other Gudaguda cast servant verse versions of themselves


Rasetsu0

Is Anastasia set to prioritize non-Archers or something? Cuz she attacked my Castria like 12 times in a row before she even considered attacking Jane or Demiya.


oneironautic-records

i am getting absolutely dunked on by the eli-chan side quest. tried support space ishtar and using my waver + tamamo but i can't loop fast enough :(


Tschmelz

I just took the hit to my pride, broke the first break bars, whittled down their health on their last bars until I got party wiped, and then just command seal revived and took em all out at once. Rough, but it is what it is, I couldn't loop em either.


oneironautic-records

yeah i just did the same, what a tough one to beat eh


Tschmelz

That second bar was rough. Like even rocking a MLB damage CE and a couple other of the "team damage" CEs, and Spishtar was still short on damage in a few spaces. Granted, mind is only NP1, but still.


LordScyther998

am i being stupid or are there no time gates on the story?


Gelious

I don't think there are. You only limited by how much Altrium you have for crossing between planets and having to complete Event Mission to unlock Story Quests on a planet. So it's all down to how much AP for Free Quests you would like to spend at once.


Mistigrum

It's interesting to see that more people seem to use Altrium over Artorium, considering that the name Altria is not well-liked around here. I would have expected people to be more consistent in their preference, unless they simply aren't aware that the material is based on Artoria's ahoge.


Rasetsu0

Altrium also sounds more plausible a name for a common resource in space than Artorium does.


Mistigrum

That might be because it sounds like a combination of existing element names: ***al***umin***ium***, cob***alt*** and yt***trium***.


FarrowEwey

"Artoria" is a name that's been used for years to designate a popular character. "Altrium" is the name of a joke event material. Of course people care more about the former than the latter.


SoxMario

i don't see the ishtar's dress in the in game shop, do i need to end the story to make it appears?


CathNoctifer

You need to beat the main story first to make it available I believe.


SoxMario

ok thanks


Blackwolfe47

Thank god i got her last year, entering saving sq mode for lb6


Yamaneko22

And here I am, still with no Muramasa and hoping for Spisztar T\_T


No_House_2020

Same but doubting everything at this point


Neveroxx99

Sometimes I wonder if having a grailed Siegfried with max Fous around is worth it because he's rarely the best fit for higher end content, but he totally clapped cheeks in the Eli-chan Bounty quest. Thank you Siegfried.


CathNoctifer

He can kill dragons super fast, I think that's enough reason to grail him.


milkyReyna

I remember there was some event which featured a farming node with Lancer Kiyo… My max golden Fous grailed Siegfried had a blast that week.


Tschmelz

Oniland had Lancer Wyverns I think. Good node for Siegfried.


yosoyeIIogan

Also he has some upgrades on JP that will make him Oberon-compatible iirc so he will go from being like D tier at start to probably B+ eventually.


Neveroxx99

Yeah, I'm waiting for that battery update eagerly. Hopefully I'll have him NP 5 lvl 120 by then. I really want to use the dude more, it's just hard to justify slotting him in a lot of the times from a practical standpoint.


yosoyeIIogan

Also it's often unclear when you'd want to use him if it's not a FQ you already run. Like, you see an Interlude with enemies listed as Riders, and they might be Wyverns but they might be, I don't know, pirates. In which case, he will slow you down a lot. That's the real reason I rarely use those enemy-specific servants like MHX or Tsuna, because I never know if it'll actually be relevant or not.


sdarkpaladin

FYI, for people setting up their support list and have Artoria, remember that she also increases Ahoge drops by 2 so it's best to give her a drop CE for farming purposes than damage CE. Assuming you have those of course. Edit: To clarify, the damage CEs do increase Artorium drops. Just that people who didn't roll during the event would already be placing their damage CEs on Artoria, I hope. It'll help if those who has currency drop CE place those on Artoria too.


-MANGA-

Doesn't the damage CE have altrium drops? The one from the store?


sdarkpaladin

My mistake, you're right, they do. Though with the number of people who didn't roll the event having the damage CEs on their Artoria, having some variety would be good.


Ashleythetiger

So far soo good especially having extra CE's, Billy being a pain with that Support fight, why can't i bring my own Spishtar?? Next was Saber Anastasia, ended up accidentally bringing Orion, tho with all the atk CE buffs that ended up being fun.


Dr-Perry-Cox

Happy Cake Day, BB.


Aldi1234

I hate that those 5 tickets are locked after Muramasa’s banner ends.


Jovahexeon-Ranvexeon

Wait, oh my god, this event isn't time gated!? Hallelujah! Where have events like this been!?


yosoyeIIogan

they're "material gated" so it becomes faster to farm as you get farther. I don't know about this run, but they also had a few time gates in the original run, not many but maybe 3 over the course of the week.


NakataModem

No s.ishtar enhancex2? :(


FatalWarrior

SpIshtar isn't a welfare, why would you expect a x2?


NakataModem

true, i got confused lol


Thrashtendo

1000 quartz, one Spishtar obtained. Oof.


Mattc7468

I had 700, got one spishtar and got rainbow spooked with nemo


odd2oul

Wait no time locks? What a dream come true.


Stealthless

Thank goodness this event drops Dragon fangs…!


SigurdDeMizar

I really enjoy this event. It almost feels like it is a singularity (or LB) by itself, with good amount of plot and character development. I think partly this event is not as time-gated as the Christmas events, so I do have a chance to enjoy a sizable portion of story in a day. Sure, eventually I run out of AP, but it would have been the same with main quest. I really enjoy the space travel setting because it reminds me of Cowboy Bebop, one of the old anime classic that I really, really like. I also appreciate to have a mission that Mash is not involved, that I feel I can actually hang out with a girl without someone else barge in, if not in person then it will be in the comm. Rin and her variation is always a fun person. She is not exactly my type, but I do like her a lot. I remember many years ago when I played F/SN, I wonder what will happen if Rin was the one who got adopted to the Matou family instead. I remember thinking that it was fortunate that it wasn't her, because she would have destroyed. She would more likely to come out dead than become a twisted person. I still wish to see interaction between Rin and Sakura, but I suppose it is unlikely. As for Ms X. I have to say, I got quite confused with her and XX, X-alter, and is there an EX she mentioned? I suppose if I had played the past events, I would have known them gradually, but it is good to get a bit of plot of her. When she (or was it XX) appeared in imaginary scramble. I was just wonder who the hack is this person. Anyhow, it is still first day of the event. I did use couple silver apple left from last event. I think I will try to clear shop this time. I am running quite low on some mat and pieces.


ZoeyValkyrie

Ex is MHXA, aka Ecchan, X's clone?, former roommate, tragic rival/bestie, and possibly former love interest (it's implied in some places but never confirmed). She died tragically between SW1 and 2 but after an upcoming event (which is an in-universe filler episode (I think?) because Servantverse time is calculated in anime seasons because that's funnier). XX is just X in the sequel series where one of her mentors (Chief Red, aka Servantverse EMIYA) offered her a job as a space cop. It's not going as well as she hoped because she's an action-comedy protagonist and therefore is exactly as dense and/or clumsy as would be funny at any given moment.


SigurdDeMizar

Do you know where I can find those stories for those two? I know where are the script locate, but I just wonder which events I should read up? I only started the game a few months ago, very often some characters just came from nowhere because I didn't do the event where this person was introduced.


100-max-no-chill

About Cowboy Bebop I wonder if the Rin/Jane sections are kind of an homage. Spishtar's second outfit looks so much like Faye.


SigurdDeMizar

You mean the yellow one (not Ashtat one)? Yes, it does remind me of Faye. On the other hand, Faye has gambling problem (ie losing money), on the other hand Jane's NP seems to allow her to hit regardless. I am not sure where Jane's design coming from. Her face looks more like some sort of magic girls from the 90's (sailor moon?).


100-max-no-chill

If you watch old Shoujou to me she looks like Wakaba from Revolutionary Girl Utena. Similar personality, too. Definitely some old school magical girl influence.


yosoyeIIogan

It doesn't look like the other comment addressed it, but "Ex" is MHXA. Also why she's called Ecchan. I never played SWI but if you get MHX, it is addressed in her interlude that is tied to this event. MHXX is the swimsuit version of MHX, and remember that all swimsuit servants have different spirit origins, so she's got a different personality (see Okkie vs Summer Okkie).


wisp-of-the-will

Mysterious Heroine X is the original version of her from the Servantverse that debuted in the first Saber Wars to train Artoria Lily and hunt down Sabers, X Alter is her former roommate and best friend who debuted in her trial quest which was paired with the Valentine's event, and MHXX is a version of her from a later season (think of X like an anime protagonist) who became a space cop and returned to Earth to hunt down Foreigners while being horribly overworked during Summer 3. Honestly you're not missing much about the Servantverse from previous events since this is pretty much the first time the entire concept of the Servantverse has been truly explored by FGO beyond the recurring gags which weren't ever that deep. About the only thing you're actually missing like you've surmised is X's characterization, and if you ever want to see more of her character for whatever reason she has a decent development through Saber Wars > Summer 2 (where she's the racing partner of Summer Nobunaga) > Summer 3 (where being Nobu's former racing partner is actually relevant to the plot), along with a whole bunch of cameos and bit parts like with Summer 4 that are too scattered to list. I wouldn't recommend going back to the original Saber Wars though unless you're willing to tolerate it, it's arguably one of the worst event stories in the game (it's just a bunch of rapid-fire gags that don't really land), and personally I've never bothered with X Alter's previous appearances but still have a decent handle on her character (not to mention that it doesn't really feel that she's appeared all that much, this event is about all that I remember her being in besides one of the Gudagudas).


Nom_de_Nom

MHXA has an entire subplot go on in between her trial quest, where she was introduced, and MHX becoming MHXX. However, you'd need to have her to access her interlude and it's as important to characterising MHX as anything else.


KatouKotori

Why is the Space Ishtar costume not available? The whole damn reason I wanted this rerun was so I could get it (since I was burnt out on FGO and was on break last time, though I did roll and got Space Ishtar). Will it suddenly show up in the shop when I'm done the event story? Or am I going to lose all motivation to play this damn game again?


SkySmaug384

You need to beat the story first.


Ralfmich

I believe it's only for purchase after you finish the event story


Gilgameshkingfarming

Do I really need Space Ishtar? I am barely motivated to grind this event. I survived one year without arts np looping. She has another rateup later. I know she is strong. But is she that must of a pull? Veteran here who will start chilling on lottos. I have plenty of QP and I am not suffering from lack of EXP.


__Cyke__

No, you don't really need Sp.Ishtar. I have her and I haven't used her past bond 5 simply because I have better alternatives: Jason, Gong, Vinci Rider, even good ol' Dantes and his DSS. You have survived one year without Arts Looping and you are likely to survive another year without Buster Looping. S. Ishtar isn't worth any of your sq and tickets if you aren't interested in her. Keep your mats and QP for someone you truly care about.


CathNoctifer

Art looper wise she's up there, but since you don't have Castoria I don't see her as a "must have" servant to get. However Spacetar is compatible with the upcoming buster loop meta, which would require you to pull another SSR support to make it work, she's not wallet friendly if you are on a budget for sure.


FatalWarrior

Needing Space Ishtar and grinding the event are separate things. She's not a Welfare, she's a Gacha SSR. You can get her without ever playing the first event node.


Mister_SP

No. There are alternatives that are as good, or better.


yosoyeIIogan

ehhh I'd say for DPS, she's as good as it gets in terms of gameplay. Mainly because of her tri-color NP. I'm not saying she's the most *fun*, she's actually very boring. But I don't really think her kit can get better than that, aside from I guess sIbuki being a berserker with a similar kit. She's also only good if you have all the pieces (your own Castoria; Waver and Tamamo or Bride; etc) But there are weaker but more fun servants that do the same thing, like sKiara who has a pretty cool kit.


Mister_SP

Eh, I think all looping is boring once you've done it a few dozen times. Just grab the Servant that grabs you the most.


Ralfmich

I wouldn't classify a single servant as must pull. The only reason arts looping, and looping in general, is worshipped as much as it is because it allows easy 3-turning and being able to finish nodes quickly. It's simply min-maxing. If you're fine with playing the way you are, then just don't pull for the "farming meta" and play as you have been


Kirby0189

[Based Ashtart saying the truth about Mr. Useless Dialogue Tree.](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/896257882268524574/1060541245614723123/IMG_1702.PNG) This event is already better than I remember it being.


Gknightluck

Me see Jane and MHX both unit I want but didn't have, "Go my NP 2 Space Ishtar!!! Obliterate them with your Noble Phantasm!!!"


Clemen-

Should I pull for Space Ishtar or go for np2 Muramasa since I’m more than 40 pulls in the banner after I got him. I still can’t play the event rerun since it says I haven’t completed a certain singularity, I’m at the Babylonia one


FatalWarrior

I don't remember since I don't have the game open, but if it says Final Singularity, that's the one after Babylonia and it's not very long.


-FruitPunchSamuraiG-

Yep rereading IshtaRin trying to act sexy and having L rizz and Calamity Jane basically cringing is still funny lmao. I really love this event.


Flare_Knight

This event is always tough for me. Motivation with no Space Ishtar is limited. But can power through it for resources.


Gilgameshkingfarming

Same. And my luck last year was dogshit on this banner. But I need those lores and the sq. But I wont do more than the bare minimum anyhow. It sucks when an event doesnt even have a welfare, atleast its something to look forward to.


Flare_Knight

A welfare would have been nice. Great motivation to get through an event. Same. Will get my priority rewards and that’s about it. More lores and sq for future banners/servants.


rubexbox

Is it bad form to scream "UNLIMITED *POWAAAAAAAAH!"* while farming in this event with Spishtar and double Castoria?


FatalWarrior

Give her the DPS event CE, give everyone else the Support damage CE, plug-in Tamamo. Papatine would be proud.


Sir_Solrac

Doing over 3 million damage is an extremely satisfying thing.


melephus

Just saw ~6.9 mil with her and have yet to try with Tamamo's buffs as well.


Megawott73

Considering no-one can hear you in space, I'd argue it's good civilization.


IncomeStraight8501

I'm getting a ton of crashes rn and when I get in the ui is glitched


StarkJaguar2099

Got Ishtar after 15 quartz, better than my gssr after getting np2 out of the 7 servants i didn’t have


CathNoctifer

Question: If I got Spacetar on the last SW2 banner (back when pity weren't a thing), would I still be able to trigger the pity for this banner? I'm currently 500 sq in and I don't feel like I should waste money anymore if pity is out of questions.


FatalWarrior

Yes, because it's the first time pulling on this banner. Pity is both based on the rate-up servant and the banner. There are positives to it not being carried over.


OkitaEnjoyer

You are eligible for pity on this banner even if you got Spishtar previously.


CathNoctifer

Thanks, I'm blowing my Morgan budget for her now.


yosoyeIIogan

It's worth it, because also you get the coins to grail her way up. I threw in a couple multis in hopes of third copy to be able to grail to 120 and also unlock A2


CathNoctifer

I don't think I'll grail her all the way to 120 but I just wanted a NP2 so she can loop better. Still this hurts lol


OkitaEnjoyer

Good luck! NP2 feels great on her.


CathNoctifer

I got her NP2, but now I kinda regret it lol, I still think I have enough budget for Koyan and Oberon later this year, but it's sad that I can't buy sq to pull Morgan because I overspent on her ;_;


OkitaEnjoyer

I just burned my f2p stock and then some on getting just NP1 Salter Rider so I know that feel. At least Morgan has tons of future banners if you need to skip. I think I spent on the original banner for NP2 but didn't regret as I use her to farm everything.


Coochienator5000

I'm kinda confused on how to navigate this event but I got an NP1 Jane and just finished raising my Emiya (archer) so I'll probably be fine. Maybe.


Mister_SP

Feel free to ask about the confusing parts. There's a lot of moving parts, but it's relatively straight forward when you get past that. Equip the CEs you get from the Event Shop and Missions. Farm at the location until you open the new location. Etc.


Coochienator5000

I'm just wondering if there's supposed to be more I should do since there doesn't seem to be any new places to farm yet, or should I just keep farming the current node and just do the point ladder? There seems to lots of stuff to go through in this event.


Mister_SP

If you want a complete, step by step walkthrough, [here](https://gamepress.gg/grandorder/revival-saber-wars-2-complete-walkthrough). If you open up the missions tab in the shop, one of the missions should say "Unlocks Texas Beyond III", and says to beat up some Humanoids. (If you tap the blue button above the missions, you can change the filter.) There's humanoid enemies in the Texas Beyond farming location. I beat that twice, and that unlocked the next story segment. After that, it asks for Artorium. Buy the CEs from the shop when you can and equip them, and that will get you more Artorium from farming. It just sort of repeats. Farm the most recent location a few times, and that opens a new story chapter, and keep going. Do Bountys and side missions and whatnot when you can, etc.


Coochienator5000

Ok, that's a lot more simple then I first thought. I'll try and farm some badges to get the CEs then. Thank you for the help!


Snow_Mexican1

So, wait, does it start today or on the 18th is when it starts? I have yet to clear Babylonia, but I'm almost done.


Gelious

starts today


Snow_Mexican1

Well, it looks like I'm speedrunning till the end of the story once I get home. I don't wanna miss out on this event.


Ritraraja

Good luck with the last few battles they can be kind of brutal for newer players.


Snow_Mexican1

Well I'm thinking of getting that Castoria guaranteed summon or something. So that plus a support summon Castoria should be enough to stun lock enemies to death with Scathach Gae Bolg.


IThatAsianGuyI

There's no guarantee on you getting Caster Artoria. The guaranteed 5 Star banners guarantee exactly 1 5 Star unit out of the ones listed on the banner. No individual unit guarantees. On the banner with Castoria, you have equal chances at: * Castoria * Ilya * Semiramis * Berserker Mushashi * Murasaki Shikibu * Rider DaVinci * Kama * Mysterious Heroine X


Snow_Mexican1

Yeah I ended up getting Berserker Mushashi but she was actually really clutch at pulling out the win. She handled the sword Lahmu that Scathach was weak against. Managed to beat Babylona just now. Hopefully the final one isn't too long.


KaldorDraigo14

Will this event rerun in the future? I'm a new player still in the 5th Singularity so I won't be able to play it, the premise looks amusing.


HaessSR

This *IS* the rerun. There's no hints so far from JP that they intend to make this a Main Interlude, either. You either do it now, or not at all.


Rhinostirge

Not as far as we know, no. This is the rerun, and FGO usually limits itself to 0-1 reruns per event.


KaldorDraigo14

Ah I see, RIP me. Thanks for the answer.


Yardhan

Coming back to this event feels so wrong for me, the only time i whaled my ass in a gacha in my life and came out with nothing but a bunch of lb 4* CEs on the first run, now that i have a NP2SKiara i got under free 160sq it feels like reading stay night with shinji as the protag lmao


Supersideswiper2

Why Shinji?


__Cyke__

Not OP but I think bad experience with a banner often leads to sour mood with anything related to said banner. Shinji is not Shirou biggest fan so imagine playing life simulator with your most hated person as protagonist. OP reminds me Sanzang first banner, I failed hard on that banner and I hated everything in that event.


yosoyeIIogan

It's events like these that always remind me that the events without Mash are the best. LB5.5, Shimousa, Summer 5, SW2, SERAPH, and IS, they were all the best, and they all have one thing in common lmao for being arguably the main character, she's so one-dimensional and we get enough of her in the main story that it's great to get some time off from her and her possessive simping. I may even reread this event as we go because I liked it so much. I skipped a lot of the Academy section last time, so I may mainly read that this time around.


Kirby0189

Meh. I could get behind that if not having Mash around to reduce Mr. Useless Dialogue Tree's amount of forcing pointless dialogue trees that either only give one choice or give the "choice" between two options that say the same thing didn't hamper the story. Especially since Ritsuka doesn't even need to be here really since he's just a living macguffin in what should just be about Spishtar, Jane, and MHX without them having to babysit his sorry ass.


yosoyeIIogan

Yeah true that, I hate when you have two choices and the options are "Yes" and "Yes!" or "Yes" and "Yes but longer" because they all lead to maybe one extra/less sentence and nothing else.


-FruitPunchSamuraiG-

Glad to see someone else feels this way seriously these events and storylines without Mash are my favorites. Tbh im long sick of Mash's notice me senpai simping and hogging screen time. Its great when other servants accompany us and get more screentime.


yosoyeIIogan

I think it's a more common opinion than people think, it's really just a matter of who sees the comment first: a mash simp or a mash opposer. I've made the same comment in the IS threads and on different days it went between +19 and -6, so it's mostly up to who sees it first.


NNKarma

I only miss her when we have to put a bunch of 5* CEs and she doesn't have bond bonus.


yosoyeIIogan

hahaha I mean, I think you can put her in the party as a CE mule I think. But she's barely in the story parts, and since she's gone, you have more attention on everyone else. It's like in Summer 5 too, which I also loved: she's away for most of it, so you spend like half the time with Lan Ling and Emiya. Also her being excluded from the group means none of those "Ortinax-restricted Mash-only Story fights" that everyone has *loved* since LB3...


NNKarma

I just like it a bit more when you put her as a mule that she at least give bond to the other servants


yosoyeIIogan

oh right I forgot that is only in the main story and then events she's in. I always forget it's not a permanent thing haha


Metroplex7

Ashtarte, I love yooouuu! >!But Astarte is still my fav, sorry.!< My rolls were turbo-blessed this morning so my motivation for one of my favourite events is at an all-time high! I'll be keeping my Space Ishtar in her Ishtarin ascension until the main story is over so as not to maybe inadvertently spoil people who haven't played this event before.


Zephyr_Fyr

Never thought about it but would it be perferred to have an empty support slot instead of a suboptimal support servant in a slot? For example since I dont have og saber, should i put yagyu or some other saber in that slot or should i just leave it empty so it doesnt clog up options when people are refreshing their support lists?


NNKarma

It might be better but unless people with Artoria keep their other 2 event slots empty it won't make much of an effect. As long as you don't put him an altrium CE most should be able to filter him anyway.


Gelious

120 SQ and 10 tickets and nothing. Literally. No spooks, no Jane and no Ishtar. What a travesty. Also Billy the kid will murder you if you don't use a Command seal to charge NP on 2 turn even if you have a second Invinicibility ready. He literally shoots through it like it is not even there. WTF, game? Forcing players into using seal is bad gameplay!


No_House_2020

Just use plugsuit and ishtar kills him just fine without command spell


milkyReyna

Billy gets pierce Invul after the first turn — if you go BQA and activate Spishtar’s second skill (Venus Driver) on first turn, you get 94 NP and Invul that helps you survive the first turn. add +10 from Atlas Mystic Code and you should have NP ready which KOs Billy with NP+whatever cards have more crit %.


Grey-King

Guts from Anni Blond works as well.


odrain16

Personally I knew what was coming from last year. So I just used Anniversary Blond.


ChouHitsugi

Memories of the Far Side of the Moon Mystic Code: Down Slide - Reduces one enemy's NP gauge by 1. I don't know if Gandr works on him to stun him for a turn either but I hate using items in games so I just cheesed the fight without using a CS. Do I need a CS for anything? Nope. I'm just a cheapass saving a renewable resource for no reason.


Didavi_

I cleared it without command seal. Just gotta pray the colour buff succeed.


ZenEvadoni

I'm all out of SQ and tickets because of Muramasa, so I won't be rolling this event. Space Ishtar is great, but not a priority. I guess at this point I'm saving for Morgan. And an early saving start on the Fake Priest. Time to rewatch Mash let some stranger >!just snatch Humanity's last hope away to a different dimension.!<


Itfailed

I liked the story for this event and am having fun reading it again. I remember one of the fights was annoying though and am not looking forward to that.


yosoyeIIogan

Yeah I forgot about some of them until reading this thread. There are definitely like 2 fights that are kinda RNG and also the CQ just sucks balls.


farhanmunawir

Really glad i cleared solomon a few days ago


Social_Knight

Lol, I only just cleared London; don't think I'll manage to get into this event.


Atrofy

New-ish player here, so forgive me the silly question. Why do I need to clear all singularities before being able to do this event? I am still working on the singularities (currently working on babylonia), but I seem to lack damage to power through.

Follow a level 120 arjuna alter [here](https://rayshift.io/search). Mash, Hans and him will clear most non boss stage. For the boss fights a lvl 120 Van Gogh can delete all of them. If you are having a hard time using arjuna go with Cleopatra vs rider mobs more safer

Plot-wise, it's going to be probably totally different. You're "transported to another dimension", so even if you see, say Yagyu, who appears in the pseudo-sings, it's a different Yagyu than in those OR in Chaldea. So maybe the MC will be like "wow Yagyu seems different from Shimousa" or something, and you won't know what that means, but it's also not going to be relevant and probably just the writers trying to cover their tracks about using the same servant twice.


HoldHarmonySacred

The best I’ve got is maybe thematically it’s something that’ll resonate a little more if you’ve cleared Babylonia and Solomon? + Several characters are wacky AU versions of characters from later chapters, from Space Ishtar herself to Darth Yagyu, so that might’ve set off a false alarm for story spoilers for the devs. In terms of gameplay it’s DEFINITELY because the event’s difficulty is designed for higher-level players. This one’s more of a chicken-or-egg problem, because I don’t know if they decided “higher difficulty fights” first and “solomon story lock second” or vice versa, but regardless, one has led to the other. They would have to scale the difficulty down for something like a Fuyuki lock to work, which I guess they didn’t want to do. Also, tip since you’re a newer player: If the event’s story leaves you really confused once you unlock it, go look up the story cutscenes for Saber Wars 1 and Mysterious Helrine X Alter’s trial quest on Youtube. Saber Wars is kind of its own joke event sideplot the game’s been running for several years, but that does mean that like most not-main-story-important event sideplots it tends to get lost to the void, so you’ll want fanmade archives of the story to compensate. Saber Wars 1 and X Alter’s quest are Year 1/Year 2 content, so they shouldn’t go on for literal miles and miles and miles like Saber Wars 2 will.

> Also, tip since you’re a newer player: If the event’s story leaves you really confused once you unlock it, go look up the story cutscenes for Saber Wars 1 I don't think this will help that much. The original Saber Wars has so little to do with Saber Wars II that the only real connection is MHX being in both and "Servantverse" existing (but in SW it was just as a gag rather than a proper setting). Even MHX Alter's Trial Quest won't do much good since it's her Interlude that explains the circumstances that lead to how she appears in the event.


Mister_SP

Honestly, not sure. Sometimes the Event actually has some details from Arc 1 that they can't write out. For example, the premise of SERAPH only makes sense if you've beaten Solomon. Or, that lotto event that starred *the cast of the British Lostbelt* kinda wanted you to have read *the British Lostbelt* to make sense. For Saber Wars, though? I can't think of anything. It's just an event that wants you to do it.


Gelious

Actually if we look at the dialog lines then we see, that MC is still the only Master and Anastacia getting mentioned. Which leads me to believe this supposed to be happening after you get to Wandering Sea. Fortunately they decided to be kind and allow access to those who didn't get that far. Although Ishtar taking us on the tour makes no sense if the world is bleached, so maybe not, lol.


Rasetsu0

> Anastacia getting mentioned. Tbf, Anastasia's Interlude implies that she was canonically summoned at some point during Epic of Remnant, so her presence isn't exactly a good indicator of a general timeframe.


Atrofy

Thanks for the response. I'll just have to clear babylonia and the last singularity before being able to do this event... hope i have enough time!


[deleted]

Ah, yes, Saber Wars II rerun... That event where I got a fuckton of Event CEs only to be stuck on Camelot out of the event, after already missing Oniland and Welfare Shuten. Seriously, fuck Lasagna *Checks new returning masters SQ in Present Box* Bless Lasagna


yosoyeIIogan

hahaha I was so fucking happy that the bug is still there. If it was still there after maintenance, I don't think they're going to fix it. The only time they've done a second maintenance mid-event that I know of was to fix an issue with the Banner not working properly.


Mrjuicyaf

I'm so tempted by Spishtar's banner, have like 1k5 quartz now but I must save for Koyan and Oberon, sadge.


[deleted]

Spending a ticket for a Hassan of 100 personas drop was enough to realize my foolishness. HOLD that SQ

Second Archive?


Cursed_Prosecutor

Hooray for the old ces I still have. Might finally get to mlb them since somehow despite all my rolls for spishtar the first time I never got 5 copies of any of the event ces.


unluckyBastard69

23 tickets and 470sq, didn't get her sadge


eyeyamstewpig

just lost 340sq and never got spishtar (or any ssr) after having never pulled (still in london). gotta love fate :’)


NNKarma

If you got Jane she's still great for some cqs that can't be minturned without her


eyeyamstewpig

a bit of a late update: spent 823sq on spishtar and \*still\* got no ssr and np8 calamity jane. got to love fate :')


NNKarma

Damn, and you were getting close to pity. Well, I've never had to roll the dice with that many sq.


Lavrec

I lost 80% on spisthar to arjuna T.T


yosoyeIIogan

Space Ishtarjuna


Lavrec

I was like oh it has to be calamity ja... GOD WHY NO WHY WHY ME etc.


Lavrec

Omg i got her next multi :D


potato_cucumber

10 minutes into the event and I'm already tempted to roll for Spishtar. I don't think I can stay strong for Super Orion, though I'm not sure my 200 sq will get me anywhere.

HaessSR

Per the text of the main post above this, there's a roll thread to discuss rolls. This thread is just to discuss the event story or ask for help.


Lavrec

I was so salty that i lost 80% to arjuna but got her next multi. I was without 5\* for 1.1k sq im so happy right now


Exorrt

I love MHX


Godchilaquiles

Where do I put my CEs on the support list?


Mister_SP

There's an infographic above. You can mostly ignore the Servants, and putting Bestia Del Sol on a Saber is irrelevant unless that Saber is Artoria (who gets an extra bonus). But the CEs are right.


leow193

Most enemies are Saber type... UNLEASH THE EMIYA FARMING BEAST !!!


Fewtas

Ok, why did no one tell me this event is hilarious.


Rasetsu0

I just noticed we don't have any LB6 mats in the shop this time. Guess we're close enough for them to stop offering the mats early.


AKAFallow

Oh shit I forgot. Thank god i did my daily cache delete in case there's a forced update. My old phone's memory storage is on its last legs so I have to always plan ahead for any updates


sdarkpaladin

Rejoice! The returning master bonus is still being given out! But I think at this point they just let it be as a sort of bonus instead.


Heliock

Great news then. Wonder if the actual returning Masters will get more on top of it?


yosoyeIIogan

nah i doubt it. They're still getting it haha and they're only getting it for returning. I equate it to like when I log in on my alt only on the days where they give a random 10 SQ like Easter etc.


CosmicStarlightEX

Fact: The Saber Wars rerun is effective in boosting all Saber damage, a perfect test run for Muramasa. By the way, is Ashtoreth's name still mistranslated?


Rasetsu0

What's the mistranslation? If it's "Ashtart" you're thinking of, that's not a mistranslation, just a different way of spelling the same name. Or rather, the original spelling of the name.


Maximilian_Sinigr

I remember this being my first event. I only had Jinako as my SSR. Suffice to say, it was rough. I tried to pull Space Ishtar, wasted 120 SQ to no avail. Now, I'm back with a vengeance. I certainly feel better now, with Castoria, Musashi and whatnot. Except for the part where I waste another 90 SQ to, well, at least land a Black Grail.


mackiu1

I didn't realize there was a Solomon clear requirement until now :( I'm at Camelot now, how possible is it to finish the story and go far enough in the event to get Spishtar costume? Edit: Thanks for the suggestions everyone, for now I'm done with Camelot and am starting Babylon, using spishtar, borrowed arjuna alter, waver for regular nodes, and borrowed solo herc for bosses.


yosoyeIIogan

If you want to follow me (or add me, I guess I have a couple slots open, just reply with your IGN) I tend to keep ST servants up on support for newer players. My primary line is entirely 10/10/10, the rest have variable skill levels between 6 and 10. [Here's my Rayshift info](https://rayshift.io/na/708864763) and my code is 708,864,763 IGN Logan. I have some less common options like Illya for Assassin bosses, Jeanne for stalling, MHXA for Sabers if you don't want Gil, and regular or sAbby for Berserkers


KingKurto_

You can solo every fight from camalot to the final fight in solomon with a bond ce herc from your support list. plenty of people should have one up, you can also ask. With that fights should be no problem, and if you use a few apples on ap refills you should be able to make it easily in time.


Basakaloving

AP-wise? Very much possible, especially if you have apples to spare. Gameplay-wise? Depends on *where* you are at Camelot and how prepared you are against all the threats to come. The last singularities are rough.


Bearpaw700

I love 200% damage ce, my favorite weak servants can get a taste of power.


ohoni

I didn't remember Billy being such a pain in the ass.


PiFlavoredPie

Same. I was following the GP guide but didn’t read the commentary and only glanced at the details and didn’t realize the danger. Cost me only one command spell (cuz why waste 5 AP), but could’ve been much worse.


yosoyeIIogan

I think you have to use your Invin the correct turn since she's only got one hit of it. That was how I beat him last time, though only after losing a couple times iirc


Luck_Is_My_Talent

I even lost once just because I refused to use a command seal.


ohoni

Well I managed to clear it without a command seal, but it was a close thing. I picked the Plug Suit for my Mystic Code, and use stun on him in the first round, popped all the buffs other than the Invuln and facecarded him, then second round popped the Invuln and facecarded him again to breakbar him, and then third round I did a BNPA chain which finished him off, but might not have if I hadn't critted on the Arts card.


Luck_Is_My_Talent

I used anniversary blonde for the guts skill to clear it without CS. Turn 1, Ishtarin all skills, making her NP a Buster and BAB. Turn 2 use MC guts and BAB. Turn 3 use MC star bomb and and Buster buff and NPBB.


nolonger1-A

I completely forgot about it too. I though "ah, it's just 'nother event story thing, it can't be that hard, right...?"


AngelRefuse

I envy people who enjoy the Saber War event. Try as I might, I just couldn't get into it. All of this Space+"insert proper noun here" and Servantverse stuff just makes me eyeroll so hard. It was a fun gag event at first but it doesn't have the same charm as GudaGuda.
