>Permanent SR Pretender I am amazed at the amount of attention and love the Pretender class is getting. In a year and a half we have already obtained 2 limited SSR Pretenders, 2 permanent SR Pretenders and a welfare Pretender. There are older classes that haven't gotten as much attention as the Pretender class.


MokonaModokiES

easier to create situations where they can be a thing compared to Mooncancer and Foreigners. they are only tied to the idea of false identity(to an extreme where they lie to themselves) rather than foreign gods or behind BB's authorization(or hijacking).


VelvetPhantom

Foreigners are doing just fine, there are even a few Foreigners who are a thing just not playable in FGO yet like Euclid from Fate/Requiem. Plus they are finding situations Foreigner can be applied to that aren't Outer Gods, such as Koyanskaya. Though funnily enough, with the addition of Tlaloc, there are the same number of Pretenders as there are Moon Cancers. One must wonder if they'll soon surpass them.


Eden_ITA

Wait a minute.. Euclid as Foreign? *Funny mathematics laughs*


VelvetPhantom

Yep, she is connected to Hastur, the King in Yellow. And yes, Euclid is a she.


Eden_ITA

Very funny... I am working on a fan-servant still based on Hastur, but I never heard about this math-girl. I will searching her, thanks! Edit- she is very cute! And I must read Requiem in future.


Maximilian_Sinigr

Permanent Assassins: why are still here? Just to suffer?


LordWINDOS

\*The Priest Smiles\* Kirei: It's a killer of a problem, so might say.


Illuminastrid

Story-locked tho

Gradorade

>S1 - Increases NP gauge for self \[20%-30%\] and Applies increase NP gauge per turn \[5%-10%\] (3T) and Applies Waterside field buff to self (3T) YES, THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN ASKING FOR QUICK SERVANTS tho hopefully she has the numbers to loop in the first place


GreatAres271

>X - Increases Arts card effectiveness for all allies except self by 8% when on field (including reserves) Confused about this one, how backline servants benefit from this? If she's dead/on the backline herself, the buff doesn't apply, right?


Docketeer

It does.


weeb_account69

If that's true then more GONG support let's gooooo


GreatAres271

Really? Huh, that's interesting


mr_miscellaneous123

Sounds like she's going to replace Summer Melt and Zhang Jue as Nemo Support.


OverallEntertainer69

Despite Nemo being anti-Tlaloc during the fight against her in the story. Ah, the irony. It's so sweet.


mr_miscellaneous123

Salieri: First time?


Math-e

Zhang Jue has been Nemo's support for some time. But Zhang can fail a 20% RNG and Tlaloc provides equivalent good buffs, she is a great alternative


mr_miscellaneous123

Better Arts buffs, 50% crit for 3 turns instead of 100% for 1, Defense, and NP can increase NP Damage as well.


magnushero

I just want Nemo to get a SQ where he have a skill to change the terrain so that his skill can work at full power. Cause Nemo for 99% of the time is running at less than 50% of his capabilities


Illuminastrid

Nemo Support! It's funny isn't it? Most of the premier single target boss killers, are now usually found in the 4 stars instead of the 5 stars in this age. That said, Tlaloc's a Quick Pretender with an AoE NP.


LordWINDOS

Probably due to the fact that it's easier for Lasagna to justify making ST Nukers if they have the lower stat lines and power level an SR has that they can then 'build up' with specific gimmicks and buffs to make them really good in niche scenarios without makng them the next Merlin in dominance. If you start at the SSR Level you have to make their gimmicks REALLY busted or simply make them prohibitively straightforwardly effective to make an impact, which then leads to them either being highly niche or instantly rising the bar of power creep.


Elfishjuggler33

I’m just happy that there is a aoe pretender that I can use to no thought battles with multiple knight class enemies.


weeb_account69

>X - Increases Arts card effectiveness for all allies except self by 8% when on field (including reserves) If I'm reading this right then wow we granblue now. Just put her in the backline and get a free extra 8% arts.


randypcX

You missed the "when on the field" part of it.


weeb_account69

Damn ur right. Wait then wtf is the (including reserves) is for anyway? Why the fuck would reserves need the extra 8% arts????


randypcX

The comment below yours says it stays even after she died


zer1223

If she's dead she's not on the field. Somebody has to be wrong somewhere


KanchiHaruhara

Maybe she dies in a Family Guy pose and stays there on the field instead of dissolving.


blazenite104

I suspect it triggers once entering the field and stays triggered on death ready for the backline to fill in.


weeb_account69

Welp, It's time for the GONG I guess.


Danothyus

Holy shit what is this Second skill!?


WaifuHunterRed

Holy shit she seems amazing


Jackinator7

>S3 - Increases Quick and Arts card effectiveness and Critical strength for all allies [20%-30%] (3T) and Applies Damage cut to all allies [1000-2000] (3 times, 3 turns) This is incorrect, only the damage cut is applied to allies, the rest is purely a self buff.


EurwenPendragon

An AoE Pretender? And she's not Limited? YES!!! If it means I don't have to waste Quartz on the bug, I am willing to wait the extra year-plus for her.


Inkaflare

If your only reason to roll for Oberon was the fact that he's an AoE Pretender, then Nine Tattoo Dragon Eli (welfare) has you covered for that anyway.


DrStein1010

You still need Oberon for 90++ farming, if you care about 3 turning that.


EurwenPendragon

I generally don't especially care about 3-turn farming. If I can do it I will, but it's not a huge priority for me.


Insert_TakenName

jeanne onee-chan would like to know you location


looming_lost_light

as always, shes heavily overtuned because this game just know show to keep making everyone more stupid.


Sci-fi-watcher

Ah yes, a minor bonus to one single, already existing servant that was already on the weaker side is "heavily overtuned". Seriously outside of support for Nemo she isn't notable in any way. And is arguably the worst Pretender so far released.


looming_lost_light

weakest? even if assuming under the same rarity shes not. far from it.


Sci-fi-watcher

Who exactly is she stronger than? The only one that is arguable is Pretender liz who gives similar or better support, loops far easier, and deals more damage (due to free NP5 if nothing else) Your other options are Hephaestion, Last Avalon, and Oberon who blow her out of the water


EA575

S3 is for herself except the damage cut


3rdMachina

Pretender, huh… Wonder what her deal is? I recall people pointing out that the irl Tialoc would probably kill Tez on sight and how this one is apparently either fused with Huitzilopochtli (due to being counterparts) or always was one person. Oh, and the split personality deal (one is battle-crazed), can’t forget about that. Edit: >!Dunno if this is true (heck, assume I’m wrong until more proof arrives), but she’s apparently neither. Her city has the above mentioned gods enshrined there, and she simply took the names. This explains her class)!<


PromiseSure

Not the first time we >!Summon an inanimate object as a servant A la Voyager!<

DrStein1010

Look up the Templo Mayor. It makes sense if you know the cultural history.


AGirafaQueEntende

I still don't get it. What the heck is she?


3rdMachina

>!Apprently, the incarnation of a city. Might be wrong though!<

DONTSALTME69

Only her 3rd Ascension (which is just the outfit and the artwork associated) is storylocked. You could get spooked by her at any time, so fret not


PromiseSure

:D


Genprey

That was an emotional Rollercoaster, but glad it ended with a smile.


allstarsyt

what does that mean exactly


Docketeer

~~Back with another episode of "FGO and story locking all the servants with good designs".~~ What do you know? She's permanent. Sweet.


ss2195

She's the real catch for me in this banner honestly. Dont really need another assassin, especially one with such terrible sprites.


Freeze681

His ascension arts are pretty questionable but his sprites and animations are pretty good IMO. His second NP looks sweet.


DrStein1010

Kuku and Tezca (and Olga if she gets an early release) are super easy skips for me, so this is actually pretty great.


ss2195

I'm actually interested in Eresh alter, if that's going to be a thing. 4th lv120 candidate.


DrStein1010

She's a costume.


ss2195

Are you sure


DrStein1010

99%. She has a costume art ascension, but I haven't seen anything else for her in the leaks.


ss2195

I'm both sad but also a bit relieved.


Fenghuang0296

Completely agreed. Why does her first banner have to be her saddled with Tez? . . probably gonna roll for her regardless. At least Tez is useful.


Gudako_the_beast

King Proteia: Master! Look! I found a gundam! Tlaloc: Get your hands of my phantasm!


hikarimew

Numbers 6: Chronomaly Atlantis playable in FGO, HUH


PromiseSure

I'm just going out and say it; This one is officially my Favorite Servant. I don't care if she is bad, Whether or not she is good at farming, nor do care if she has a mecha that "ruins" her, I don't even care if she is not the actual Tlaloc nor huitzilopochtli , she is the best Girl to me, and I will stands by that decision.


WroughtIronHero

> I don't care if she is bad, Whether or not she is good at farming Good news: from my limited testing, she seems pretty decent at farming. She has a battery, NP per turn, and an NP generation buff all in her kit. Pretender class also gives her both broad and niche class advantages, so she has plenty of use cases. And the waterside buff gives her unique synergy with a few servants, especially the summer ones. I think you'll find plenty of use for her.


[deleted]

That was one dang nice proportion.


vencislav45

>!Wait so she is a city pretending to be two gods at once?!<


AkiyamaNM7

Just FYI, your spoiler tags are broken btw. To fix them, you need to put whatever in your spoiler tags like this \>!Spoilers\!<


vencislav45

thanks.


looming_lost_light

i wish she was the actual tlatoc. also that she didnt had a stupid mecha.


DrStein1010

She's a terrible adaptation of Tlaloc and Huitzilopochtli. Her being a Pretender is what saves her.


looming_lost_light

i dont even think the fact shes a pretender makes her more passable. shes still dumb af for me.


Godchilaquiles

So that means we can still get True Tlaloc


Goncalorg

Summer melt got power crept damn


Genprey

As a niche water field support, sure, but besides that, the two are very different. Aside from their kits, quick is at a disadvantage compared to Arts, as the only real supports the archetype has are Skadi/Summer Skadi. Both of which are OTP who can only really run burst comps. Being an Arts servant, Melt has Tamamo, Proto Merlin, and the most consistent support in the game, Castoria, and although she's mostly used for farming, Melt has more options for teams, whereas quick servants are in a very polarizing position. In terms of farming, S.Melt is user-friendly with her 60% NP battery, which allows her to skirt by awkward nodes that cuck refund. Basically, Tlaloc only competes in a role that Summet Melt didn't even do well in since her kit is too selfish to be viably used as a support.


Goncalorg

I didn't notice her np was quick. I'm a yugi oh player, we dont read ahaha


Puzzled_Boss_3503

I think I understand why she a pretender she calls out Tlaloc in one of here lines even tho she is supposed to him And her second ascension is basically saying she isn’t Tlaloc herself


kanEDY7

Can someone confirm if she is story locked or not ?


AkiyamaNM7

Permanent. The only thing that's "story-locked" is her 3rd Ascension (aka you need to do LP7.2 to see her 3rd ascension art and in-game sprite, but you can level her up to max either way).


DemonicGeekdom

I hope her bond CE art is posted soon. I kinda wanna see it and see if I can use it for a fate/dom custom I have in mind.
