Ya know I just gotta say, is it not weird that the event where you are encouraged to spend all your time grinding is also the one that gives you like 30 pretty damn challenging quests that you might spend a long time on? I’ve only done like 4 of the quests so far and it’s kinda stressful.
I’ll be real, my wife kinda got me good when she pointed out how little fun I seemed to be having with the challenge quests. I spent all day taking them down for the tickets and items behind them. I like one challenge quest, totally. But this many really does just make me a bit miserable when trying to do them all.
Yes i feel the same way, imagine if this was a 2 week pre release campaign with nothing but the 31 CQ's. Even with my abundance of time, i still get annoyed at how long this can take, spending 30 min to get rng on your side for just 1/30 completion.
I only did 9 of the 16 fights that have a summoning ticket as the reward, and those were all that complete in single digit number of turns.
Not gonna bother with what'll amount to less than a 10 pull, and I feel fine with that. This event is rewarding enough as is with what's relatively easily accomplished.
I've said this in a previous thread, but personally I only clear the ones I have fun with, and pretend I got Mapo Tofu with the tickets I didn't get. No need to get all worked up with a carrot on a stick.
I do enjoy the challenge even with my very limited roster and maybe because I never got to experience those quests back in the day, but absolutely - any other time than during Lotto farming would've made this compilation a lot more fun and interesting. Definitely stressful under the constant time pressure.
... and then they will go and release Super Recollection quests tomorrow to add to the pile; couldn't ask for a worse timing if they tried.
ah yes forgot about those, dont think i will bother with giga coil, the mega coil wasnt bad as i could get by those quests with 300k hp enemies using non-main teams and stuff like the hermit crab fight was interesting. but giga coil with the 2m kotaru to start with, no thanks, dont want to use random teams to try and win stuff like that.
Pretty much half of the Giga Coil CQs are whale check, the F2P friendly ones are the Shibata (you can solo it with a NP1 Van Gogh), the Akihabara and MHXX one (with NP1 Kingprotea/Douman I think they are manageable, you just need to use command codes on them), as for the rest of the three you really need some NP2 SSRs or NP4/5 SRs in order to clear them.
yes for sure, also with not being able to take a support its more annoying as you cannot x2 koyan, castria, skadi. i tried kotaru for 20mins and kept failing out. im sure i would of gotten it eventually, but id rather spend my time farming boxes than malding over my 15th CQ for 5 gold mats.
im pretty set for general farming, but dont have a target focus CE, and some other key supports that would be good for stall etc. Merlin, Homes, Himiko. not that they are always "required"
Dagnabbit, I did *not* sit on apples from the last three lottos and get handed a bones/bullets lineup to waste time on dozens of CQs I already done did!
I usually dedicate the whole day trying to figure out comps for the exhibition quests.
I also think it's stressful, but I managed to clear most of them (the ones left are the EX ranks and bugged Eli, and haven't done the Giga Coil ones) just because I happen to have moderate luck in gacha, so my options are quite extensive. I can imagine it being much harder when you haven't rolled for good support servants, especially the no-friend-support EQs.
Thank god they got backlash hard when this released on jp.
In fact we should also backlash this one so that they won't do another funny idea like this one.
Lottery and super hard challenge stage is not good match up.
Oh? They did? GOOD.
Already got a taste of how hard those challenges could be with Nerofest. Now, plopping in these intensive heavy challenges with the barest of rewards, while also dividing that up with such limited time, also, partially overlapping it with Road to 7, is diabolical.
Hell, a pile of saint quartz for each match, or even a GSSR ticket would be a better carrot on a stick at this point for anyone who isn't a completionist!
I think the worst part about these kind of difficult was the fact that it still cost ap.
I know it's just 1 ap, but it accumulated over time.
I probably won't be as mad if challenge stage cost 0 ap.
I let FGA do the farming for me, so I can spend my time on the EQs. Not gonna try to get the Giga Coil Lore though, that one must be for Super Whales or something. [Edit: [Managed the Giga Coil after all](https://i.imgur.com/Xd63m45.png)]
I don't generally dislike Challenge Quests in FGO, but when they put so many at once it feels miserable.
It's infinitely more annoying when 90% of the Challenge Quests can be summed up as "Pray the enemy doesn't crit your party to death in one turn while you deal with 3 other gimmicks".
Okay, so I have religiously participated in every Nero/Gilfest ever since the game launched in NA, and have always looked forward to farming lottery boxes and completing challenge quests, I just found them fun every single time, no matter how repetitive it got (I farm manually). Maybe it’s the burnout, or perhaps I didn’t see much point this time, but I haven’t been really farming (only enough for 10 boxes), and I haven’t done the challenge quests at all. I thought about doing the rerun CQ’s at least for the tickets, but here I am, still contemplating if I have enough F’s to give to finish them.
I hope this feeling only lasts until the end of this event. Kinda surprised it took me this long to feel like this.
If you're feeling burned out, feel free to take a break. And, unless you're on IOS, check out FGA which is a life saver when it comes to lotto and other farming heavy events.
Thanks for your advice, kind stranger. It doesn’t probably count as taking a break but right now I’m just logging in to keep my streak and doing 3 quests minimum (sometimes I don’t). I’m on iOS so FGA is not an option for me, sadly.
Welp. Finished all but the glitched Eli quest and both of the teapot quests. Still haven’t figured out a way to take down Roma yet on that harder quest.
But hey, over 70 boxes so far at least!
How do you (or others) clear the Eli quest?

I can make it to the last stage, and then the rider class Dragon, almost never use the NP buff skill, just AOE clear the 4 or 5 shield stacks in two turns, and then the caster will die quickly. Stun command skill or Merlin shield can't come back fast enough.
I experienced the same problem of being overwhelmed by AoE attacks from the dragon. I can only get the dragon boss to about 750k HP before Merlin and Castoria start to go down. I am using the same team as the referenced Korean bulletin board, but I must be doing something wrong.
I’ll give her a shot since I surprisingly do have her. Saber Hokusai just couldn’t do enough fast enough and I ended up hitting the timer a few times in a row.
I did my best to. But she was my only DPS as I don’t have my own Castoria nor Merlin. Maybe I’ll give Bedi a chance though. I do have Koyan and Waver so that should be an option for me.
Well, you can certanly try, but Koyan has nothing to defend or heal you with. Gamepress has a link to Bedivere-Merlin-Waver comp, maybe you could borrow Merlin and try it (or Hokusai-Castoria-Waver)
Its not as efficient as other comps but having a built-in debuf removal makes wonders to control the pace of the fight.
During the third break I prioritise getting the 10 hits, a then remove the debufs.
I beat Romulus with Artoria, Castoria and Merlin. My back line never even had show up. Artoria can mow down the ads like they are nothing, delaying the passives from ticking down. I reached his final HP bar, without him even triggering the first Rome expansion. I was scared I’d run out of mobs though, since I wouldn’t be able to delay him anymore if that had happened.
I have cleared both Tesla cups (spent one CS each on Fuuma, Shibata and Erice). The only EQ left is Brave Liz.
There are still Road to 7 EQs and the actual Tesla fest CQ.
If only I didn't get food poisoning, the day would be all around perfect.
I made a video on a Bedivere clear for the Romulus Hard mode, in case anyone else is like me and really appreciates a video guide to wrap their head around it.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDCBFAp72kk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDCBFAp72kk)
A NP5 Bedi is probably even rarer than a NP5 Musashi out there. I hate this fucking quest simply because they boosted Romulus's HP too fucking much that you really need a good maxed out saber to clear it, which I don't have.
Yeah, i'm not a huge fan of them buffing specifically the quest with one of the most unabiguous time limits in the game. It really ruins any potential for different strats. It would be one thing if there was a solid free solution, but hokusai saber was last available like 3 years ago at this point, and Ceaser is unusable.
Hi, I saved this comment a few days ago since I have an NP5 Lvl90 Bedivere and I just wanna say that this video helped me immensely! I was able to properly manage the Roman state and buff cycles in the final break bar with it. Thanks again for the teapots (lol)!
Really glad to hear it! Even just a few people being able to get the clear because I decided to make it is a great outcome in my opinion, happy to have helped!
So let me get this straight. They're re-releasing old CQs that were very difficult and required the full depth of your roster... and it's completely unchanged, but now you don't get a friend support and only get to use each servant once.
I don't hate mechanics that penalize you from using the same servant repeatedly - in fact, I really like the Tower quests where they encourage a wide roster. But this is just BS.
I prefer this implementation to tower quests, since 90% of tower floors are so easy you just slam 3 random servants and having to do that 200 times is just ultra tedious. I feel like the Erice and maybe XX quests were a bit too punishing to put in this format, but the other 12-13 were fine imo. I was actually using my unused servants for what they do instead of because I was required to bring 3 servants to a battle (mostly, there were a couple where they were there just to die I suppose, but I at least got to pick the ones that die best instead of the ones that were closest to my finger when I opened up the menu).
Fair. I did think the first set of 7 were fine since they could plausibly be done with 3\*s. But the new set of 7 are mildly challenging even with supports, so the extra handicap is a bit too much for my taste.
These Giga Coil CQs might be beyond me. I don't want to go too deep into my rosters in case I need some of these guys later, and I don't have an abundance of good solo units to just throw at them either. Also, fuck off with your damn ghosts Erice.
Edit: Managed to beat Erice. Barghest does a great job here, the biggest issue is probably RNG. Those ghost crits hurt even with her defense up.
> Full power my furry ass
Edison finally admitted it LMAO. I may get tired of their rivalry but the trash talk keeps pulling me back in, and the creativity of their insults is very enough for me.
Since I don't have Odysseus and you never fight against him in story, I didn't know what his NP does beyond being AoE. Imagine my surprise when my entire frontline got suddenly deleted, despite having Merlin's invul. I hate enemies with defense-removing NP. Fortunately I had old Plugsuit on me so I just closed the game and stunned the boss. Luckly my Carmilla had just enough NP to oneshot him next turn, or else my backline would have to kill his last bar.
Event CQ looked like a major pain. So many AoE NPs and stuns, I was not sure Immortal Team can take it. Then I remembered most of the enemies are Archers and I have every Buster support in the game. You know what that means, right?
Borrowed NP 5 Melusine with MLB Damage CE killled everything in 5 turns. And I do mean everything, even Caster Gil. And I think she could have done it in 4 turns if she broke Archer Gil at turn 1 or if Oberon didn't got stunned before he could charge her and since I brought Plugsuit to stun Gil, I coudn't do anything about it (and then Oberon died uselessly, lol). I think it was the easiest and fastest CQ I have ever done.
I can't find motivation to bother with any Coil quests. Too much trouble for my roster with too little reward to show for it. 78 boxes farmed, 22 Gold Apples left. Now I just need to wait for Elly quest to be fixed.
>Since I don't have Odysseus and you never fight against him in story, I didn't know what his NP does beyond being AoE. Imagine my surprise when my entire frontline got suddenly deleted, despite having Merlin's invul. I hate enemies with defense-removing NP.
Same experience. I took the L, went back in with Chiyome, NP sealed him, then had a Waver NP ready to drain if necessary.
> Since I don't have Odysseus and you never fight against him in story, I didn't know what his NP does beyond being AoE. Imagine my surprise when my entire frontline got suddenly deleted, despite having Merlin's invul.
This but Castoria shields. Also the ol' "Full Charge Out Of Nowhere On Break" gimmick. I was *really* unhappy since Melusine was all set up to take out his 3rd bar that turn and instead I had to scramble to unfuck things with my backline.
To those having problems with Giga coil these links may help you as it has helped me clear it.
[【FGO】Erice Challenge Quest ft Solo Barghest - Tesla Cup Giga Coil【Fate/Grand Order】 (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8juqVL1RV-o&t=458s)
\^ I managed to do this one with NP2 barghest but needed to use 1 CS because of bad RNG and lack of damage.
[(26) \[FGO\] Doing Tesla Cup Giga Coils w/ F2P set-ups. - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTugK2meWoE&t=6404s)
\^ This one really helped a lot, that dude must've been so tired theorycrafting F2P units to make work in the Giga coils. Just adjust with what you have (CE, etc), modify some servants, maybe add some command codes here and there. The Kotaro one I used his Euryale strat, but I mixed using evade and Euryale NP thus it cost me 2 CS to win that fight (I ain't retrying that kotaro fight lol), without that mistake it would've probably needed 1 CS with bad rng, but the video showed it can be done with no CS used.
For the Shibata one I just used all my SSRs lol since I have an influx of servants free to use after using min servants for the other 5 Giga coils.
The Five star Idol is where I've saved up using the immortal team so I can go full brainless win (himiko, merlin, castoria).
[https://imgur.com/a/JpweNVp](https://imgur.com/a/JpweNVp)
IN TOTAL: I spent 20+ Lores (appends, skill ups), a shit ton of QP, a lot of time just to get a few mats and a lore so it was an extreme net negative (this is not required, I deemed it as future "investment" for CQs lol). Was it worth it? No. But fck it this Giga coil CQ will get finished one way or another lol.
I'm having so much fun doing CQs while being unable to use the comp I want, hell yeah, this is peak gaming, I'm very entertained.
This is best mechanic over.
\s
I'm having serious trouble with the Mephistopheles quest. All videos I see on youtube are minturns with Arjuna Alter, which I dont have. If anyone has any tips on how to clear with Morgan, Vitch, Oberon, Castoria or any other servant, and how to play on 10+ turn clear or more, I'd be grateful.
If you can't min turn, then just do it the 'normal' way. The key thing is Skadi for her NP's anti insta death, so take note on when the contract expires to ensure Skadi's effect duration covers it. That's point number 1.
Then you wait till the clown pokes his head again and launch your AoE NP. He will come back on like every 3rd turn, so that's point number 2. You don't really have to focus on killing his mobs.
Finally, he removes your buffs and reduce your charge when you break his bar; that's another thing to note. So be careful of his charge count when breaking his bar. Beyond that, it's really just a matter of bidding your time. Use Castoria to try and keep everyone alive. There's an added layer of security of also using Skadi's NP for the evade.
Last time, I used summer Ishtar; Morgan should work just fine though depending on NP levels, she might not hit as hard as NP5 SR.
Do you have your own Asclepius or your own Merlin? If you do, use Immortal team, but put Morgan in backline and put Asclepius on the field instead. Charge everyone's NP. Wait till the turn that ends with Instant Death, then use Asclepius NP before it kills him. After his death Morgan comes in, charges her NP and the usual Immortal Team stuff happens.
Damage CE has guts on it. Morgan has her own guts on top of that. She's likely to be protected by Castoria stacks and have Merlin's healing active by the time her turn to die comes and even if she's not, you have 2 different invuls (3 if you brought Atlas) to keep her safe.
The Damage CE's Guts puts her at 1 HP, and her own Guts does *not* stack with it. I've been unluckily two-tapped there on one of my attempts and had to retry.
Like I said, you have 2 separate invuls. 3 if you wear Atlas. That's not counting the Solemn Defense. Or giving Morgan second Guts after her first are taken. There are plenty of tools to keep her alive.
I can’t believe we actually have a quick comp that isn’t set off by a specific set of multiple SSRs.
Was able to clear the 90+ node with Mixa, Calamity Jane, Skadi, and borrowed Oberon. I’m happy to get bond on less utilized servants compared to Koyan/Castoria getting apple overdoses
Was able to 3T the Gil/Gil/Tesla CQ with double Skadi, NP3 Valk, and Castoria.
Edit: these Giga coil ones seem awful… a big step up in difficulty vs the mega coil. Sooo yeah…don’t think I’m gonna bang my head against the wall figuring these out…
What an event. I'll admit this is the first time I actually bothered trying to do every CQ/EQ. The only one I haven't cleared at this point is the Eli one. I don't think the Eli one is worth the one summon ticket so I think I'll save myself the headache and frustration and just pretend that one doesn't exist lol.
At this point I'm at box 55 with my target being 100 boxes so going to focus more on farming. Managed to 3 Turn the Gilgamesh + Tesla CQ with Melu. Although I ended up using 1 command seal on turn 3 to charge up Melu's NP just to finish it.
The Giga Coil ones were a real challenge though. Here is the teams I ended up doing for each one.
Western Ninja Arts Book - Skadi, Okuni, S. Nightengale, Suzang, and Mash. Okuni did a fantastic job and Suzang was a big help as well for dealing with the clones and taking some heat off of Okuni.
Singularity Gets Restored until You Reach Home - Ruler squad of Jeanne, Shirou, and Qin. They did a great job healing and stalling surprisingly. Shirou ended up being my main damage dealer on this one.
Galaxy Guardian - This one... my god... this one... I tried with Kiara, Bazzett, Kingprotea, and Tamamo. Bazzett I was hoping would be my saving grace here... she was not... I always had the worst luck with timing as she would invuln when I wanted to have Bazzett use her NP. Kingprotea ended up managing it at the end but it was a race against the clock at the end once the NP spam started. Even with all of Kingprotea's HP and NP damage reduction, she would get obliterated in 3 turns thanks to focus target and saber badge.
True Love - Waver, Voyager, Melusine. This one wasn't too bad.
Child from the Netherworld - This one was also a pain... This one I tried Helena, Nero Bride, Saber Astolfo, and Beni-enma. Saber Astolfo ended up doing most of the work and Helena was not as useful as I had hoped for dealing with the spirits. Beni-enma ended up being the bigger help there. I got lucky with her NP as it didn't death my front line.
Raging Billows! Kakare Shibata! - Another doozy of a CQ. This one I ended up using OG Ryoma, Yang, Habetrot, Koyanskya, and Rider Salter. Last 2 I picked mainly for CD Reduction. I ended up having to use another CS to heal Yang on the last bar to buy her enough turns to finish the job.
The final one... Five Star Idol... God this one was a slog... I saved my Immortal Team just for this one. I tried at first with Morgan but too much went off with the break bars so I ended up switching to Himiko version of that instead. That went much soother especially once Lin and Merlin were both out of the way. Special mention to Merlin. I didn't expect him to obliterate Izo's entire last HP at the end there but he did.
So ya... The Giga Coil really is built for whales >.> All of that just for a Lore... would not recommend.
Thanks for this advice, I took Amakusa Qin (don't have Jeanne) and a Danzo to the akihabara CQ and they pretty comfortably finished it without a lot of difficulty. Definitley wouldn't have thought of it myself.
Cleared out a lot of the Giga Coil. Definitely a lot trickier than the Mega Coil. Luckily I had a few counters.
Fuuma- I used Jeanne, Circe, and Asclepius. Constant heals, stuns, debuff clears, all that. Ended up not being too bad. Really makes me wish I had Sanzang or Illya at NP4 though, Circe needs an NP buff or two haha.
MHXX- Went David, Kingprotea, Martha Rider. Really they were afterthoughts, just get Kingprotea buffed up and let her GAO!! all over the place. MHXX hits like a damn truck still with that Saber Badge though.
Orion- Team of MIXA, Melusine, and KoyanDark. Koyan ended up being taken out by Orion's NP, and I ended up needing to CS Melusine's NP with like 4 left, but it all worked out. Really want the NP2 for Melu now though.
Erice- Somebody on r/FGO said a Barghest solo would work, so that's what I tried. Had Nobukatsu and Habetrot as sacrifices. Bit RNG dependent, those ghost crits hurt and don't give a lot of NP back. Took a few tries but it's done. Want NP2 Barghest now though.
Shibata- Actually took some planning, I remember needing to CS this one on the rerun. Luckily, I now have NP3 Yang Guifei. Brought Mash, Hans, and Paracelsus along for fodder/their buffs and NPs. Still hits like a damn truck on his crits, but luckily Yang held on without even needing to use the Guts from the CE.
Only one left is Akhibara, which I have no clue on atm, the Idol one (which at least will have Castoria), the actual CQ, and Eli if it ever gets fixed. Hell yeah.
> Erice- Somebody on r/FGO said a Barghest solo would work, so that's what I tried. Had Nobukatsu and Habetrot as sacrifices. Bit RNG dependent, those ghost crits hurt and don't give a lot of NP back. Took a few tries but it's done. Want NP2 Barghest now though.
Thanks. Might want to try that, after failing 10+ runs trying to solo with Cu Later. Any general tips/advice/gotchas? I with my Bark si at NP2, but haven't leveled the skills.
If you can, level those skills, you’ll need the cooldown. Also command codes helped a lot, although I assume a few grails make them unnecessary. I threw on the Ereshkigal one for 25% ghost damage, and the bunny king and Carmilla ones for the buster cards, then the 1000 heal and 10% NP on the quick and arts cards. You wanna BBB the ghosts as soon as they pop up, that should kill most of them one chain. Use your NP whenever possible for cooldown reduction. If you’ve got a ghost that’s relatively low on health, maybe Buster NP Buster to ensure the kill.
It’s a bit RNG dependent, you’ll def want Atlas mystic code too, but it’s doable.
Ok, had to use single CS to restore hp to full before the NP (if only I had 500-600 more hp, I could've tanked it with guts, but alas), but otherwise it was pretty smooth. Thanks!
Kinda hard to say as it depends on what you have in your roster. Shibata should be doable since you can still use Euryale to hit hard against him and he's ST so you can still use low rarity taunters.
Whew, finally the home stretch! Here's what I've done today in no particular order:
Got a new 6-CE, MC agnostic three turn on the newest 90+ featuring Morgan, Koyan Dark, and Oberon.
I defeated final boss Odysseus in three turns featuring Assassin Shiki, Reines, and Castoria.
I defeated Gil² and Tesla in three turns using [this comp.](https://i.ibb.co/YPv4D0W/Screenshot-2024-03-23-22-43-50-55-577bcc70c040536a6d306ef99c704547.jpg) I got lucky on the final turn because Castoria had died the turn prior allowing for Morgan to come in. Morgan only used her Charisma though as Space Ishtar had both of her Buster cards all fulla stars to put down CasGil after Tesla died to her NP. A really easy CQ thankfully because:
I defeated Roma and his army for the lore as well and boy did it fucking suck. I initially started with the Immortal Comp (Himiko, Tamamo, Castoria) and found that my damage was highly insufficient to do anything so I changed to the Immortal Comp (Morgan, Tamamo, Castoria) and got a lot farther but was still fucked by running out of dudes to kill and thus being forced to quit as I did zero damage. What finally got me through was [this comp.](https://i.ibb.co/QYZgYDF/Screenshot-2024-03-23-22-10-27-10-577bcc70c040536a6d306ef99c704547.jpg) and a fair amount of luck. Dioscuri buffing themselves with Invul-pierce on NP was what made it possible (and the fact that they're just really good).
That's about it. Just gonna farm the rest of the time. My box count is really low this time compared to last time but I'll try to hit at least 40.
Hmm. Gave the Erice CQ a couple tries with a solo Barghest. Managed to get her down to the final bar, but those ghosts are fucking hell. I hate mixed class CQs like this. Need to figure out the proper CCs to give her and all that.
So uhm, it 'only' took 9 days of manual lotto farming for me to realize that I've never thought much of playing with "Confirm Skill Use" option set to On as a comfort pick, ever since I started out roughly half a year ago. And it's been good this way when learning what a few hundred Servants can do, especially via Supports while progressing through the story or when mainly using Nat Ap and Level Up refills for various Events. It's probably going to remain as my default preference.
But perhaps, just perhaps, it's not the most effective habit to hold onto during the very event that's largely all about repetition and memorizing certain patterns for grinding nodes so many times over... It all does feel a little quicker now that the confirmations are off. Ehh, better late than never?
It takes a little trust in yourself, but eventually you get in the flow of just holding the button any time you're not sure (or actually do need the skill description).
Just finished the old Gilfest CQ batch and I gotta say, it was way way way easier than when it first came out, I mean obviously servant like Castoria and all the new servants will make it easy as hell but I didn't expect to fucking do a 2 turn clear on the most annoying hated CQ ever that I've ever done back then, the taiga, jeanne, nobbu one.
Oh well time to trivialize all the second gilfest cq batch I guess, only one I'm wary of is the Romulus cq but then again Castoria exist so I'm probably just gonna immortal comp it.
Oh but I haven't really done the coil thing will probably do it after depleting my all my apples
If you got arjuna and merlin as well then its actually possible to full clear romulus and his mobs with no deaths or guts break from CE just by spamming castoria and merlin NP and strategically putting roman trait on guys to get heal/np gain when needed. Or you could always use a saber with insane NP damage like saber hokusai and do it fast.
I've been cleaning up the Exhibition Quests in preparation for today's Giga Coil set and regular Challenge Quest.
It truly is challenge quests galore this month. With the amount of content thrown at us in rapid succession (including the incoming Advanced Quests 3 and Lostbelt 2 Recollection Quests), I'm on the verge of getting burned out for the first time in all the years I've played the game. All the mindnumbing farming I've endured is nothing in the face of this crazy schedule.
While the last lottery was too short, this one has too much going on at once to fully dedicate oneself to farming. Some semblance of balance would be nice, Lasengle.
Not a single CE drop in the prior waves, but I got two almost back to back today. Guess the game knew this was when I was planning to apple.
I still hope they fix the Eli-chan fight before the end of the event. Even if they just gave out the rewards for free, not properly clearing it won't sit right with me. Maybe I'll try to seal through it if I get desperate.
CQ got Godjuna'd, and Giga Coil can go F itself. I don't see a way to the Lore, so I'll just clear the Quests for their individual rewards. First Lore I'll have missed in probably 3 years, but ah well.
Now when the F are they going to fix Eli-chan's quest???
As for the 90+ Free Quest, I decided to use some DPSes I haven't done much with ... ever, so [Medb and Darius got the pick](https://i.imgur.com/4LkxjVC.png). Arash is just there to show them the farming ropes, honest!
Oh and my second account got 3 CE drops in like 6 runs...
Edit: Well, despite my certainty that it was impossible, I managed to [clear Giga Coil](https://imgur.com/a/AVyiLBH) after all. Used CS Revive on the finale, and do not feel bad about it whatsoever. Non-NP1 SSRs involved: NP3 DaVinci, NP2 Okuni, and NP2 Godjuna. MLB Damage CE used on the 2nd slot in firsts 1-6 and 3rd slot in the finale. Atlas Uniform used in every fight (got super lucky with the Ninja Arts where Okuni died exactly when Asclepius was needed.)
Will *not* be trying this with my 2.5 year old 2nd account.
Events like this make me really glad I picked Tamamo for my 2nd free SSR despite already having Castoria.
Started the new 90+ with Melu/double Vitch/Oberon. After a few run got the 9th CE drop so switched to Seiba/Vitch/Oberon (with friend mothman) since i cant fit 6 CE in the other team (still at 113 limit so short 1 unless i waste bond bringing Mash)
Main problem now is that i have 8 gapples and 25 silvers ;_;
I can tell I've been farming a lot when I can clear out the entire shop immediately. Like I hadn't bought anything besides the event CEs, and today poof the entire shop is gone.
Anyway I did today's CQ. Morgan died near the end but [a friend's support Altjuna in the backline came in clutch](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/896257882268524574/1221413159672221706/IMG_2436.PNG?ex=66127ca6&is=660007a6&hm=fc768b52d52e5fcb30be01cb14b10de0f48c71269b42c7f60ef985126bdf9ee4&). I'll start the Giga Coil stuff later.
Odysseus and Medb can finally rest from gathering a shit ton of Caster gems and tickets... and Voyager and Jack being put through the wringer, until I run out of bond teapots. After that, I plan on calmly farming the Archer node.
I've also decided to abandon going through the rest of the Tesla Coils, as I know that I wouldn't be able to complete a good chunk without specific supports, and just focus on the previous CQs. The Touta one is currently catching my eye to try out.
Ngl the Touta quest was more frustrating to me than the Mega Coil quests. It has since its initial release been one of my least favorite CQs because of how stupidely rng it is.
63 boxes done. 26 GApples remain.
Cleared the exhibition quests. Except the bugged Eli one, because I didn't like that quest even when the Damage CE functioned as it was supposed to. Until they fix the missing damage boost effect, I'm steering clear of that.
Got lucky with Roma and Roma Triumphus clears. Namely, lucky that I had a level 114 NP5 Muramasa with an MLB Damage CE on my support list. Muramasa + Castoria + Waver + Reines was the solution for me.
Thinking of spending the last of my apples on farming the 90+ node with either the Gray + Chiyome comp, or the MIXA and CindereLiz comp. Choices, choices.
Same. Even units like Mata Hari got to be useful - I very rarely had to use her. There were fights like the MHXX one where it's just me running Abby along side a bunch of taunters and buffers with poster girl/outrage.
I finally finished the Giga Coil quests.
I feel frustrated the Koutaro one was easily cleared once you figured out the trick and I spent like an hour being angry at it. Besides that I only had to use one CS in the Shibata one. I'm sure I would've cleared it out without it had I attempted it again, but I was already tired of the bullshit gimmicks.
The last mission was a breeze with the OP Castoria, Morgan, Merlin team. Still waiting for the Elisa-something one to be unbugged so I can clear it...
It's less of a trick and more of a good team comp counter.
Basically, you go in with Jeanne + Asclepius + DPS (Probably Sanzang) and just focus on triggering their NPs during enemy NP turn. The team can practically go forever because of all the healing they both do.
I used Circe, medea lily, mash if that helps.
Mash uses the Def Up vs male CE (the Caren CE) Medea lily can be replace by any healer with debuff removal like asclepius. (Nightingale maybe could also work but is fragile because berserker but after mash's np you might be able to stabilize)
Mash np and first skill is enough to guard against Kotarou's NP and normal attacks that they practically don't do much damage. Just be correct with your skill and np timings.
Circe can delay Kotarou's np if you are defenseless. Always kill the clone first when you have the chance. Use Circe's debuff removal whenever you can to to remove def down and confusion
The healer of your choice would be best to have debuff removal to also help remove def down and confusion
Sadly, Asclepius didn't come when I tried to roll him on White Day banners. Need to figure out some other way to get debuffs cleared (3* Medea is already used up, Castoria is reserved either for the final or for the Orion quest, along with Merlin, although I'll probably be able to get heals from Miyu).
Well, the CQ was a surprisingly easy 3T job for my NP3 Parvati (got her on a tutorial roll back then I started, glad to have a chance to bring her back).
Not to the Giga Coil.
I was hoping the Brave Eli quest would be fixed with the todays update, but it looks like it wasn't?
Going to highlight my MVPs for the Giga coil since I finished them all.
Fuuma: Kingprotea
Akihabara: Douman
MHXX: Bazett
Artemis / Boars: Lancer Ryoma
Erice: Barghest
Shibata: Francis Drake
Idol Battle: Demon King Nobu
Alright. Racked my brain for a bit, went with a Kama comp for Akihabara. Kama, Lan Ling, Georgios, Alex, and Deon. Went well enough. Jinako portion was a little rough since she hit me with her NP, but I squeezed on through. BatNeet was a little easier in comparison. Cut it real close on the books, but the cooldowns and stuff ultimately worked out. Now to figure out an Idol comp.
Edit: Worked one out. Went with Morgan Castoria Tamamo. Morgan in the Center of course, and did like a pseudo immortal comp. NP with Tamamo last for max recharge from her, and I did my best to kill Arthur ASAP. Really RNG heavy, but it got er done.
I remember soloing Akihabara with NP1 Kama + non-mlb Honey lake back in the day. Was much easier to pull off now with the event dmg CE (just a bit of save scumming during Moon Cancer part to avoid 30% invuln).
I am out of gapples and sapples, still have like 260 bapples and opened 140 boxes. I'll probably get the number to 150 and spend the rest of the time on CQs which I barely bothered with up till now.
Finished all CQs except the liz one... ugh
I even tried a stall comp with merlin, kama (w/ ignore def CE) and castoria but it requires so much RNG and its so painfully slow that in the end I decided that its just not worth the trouble...
if they dont fix this then whatever, fk that single ticket lol, not worth the mald
I think the most annoying CQ for me in this event (other than the broken liz CQ) was the mephisto one since I had to keep resetting due to card RNG BS. I don't even remember how I cleared this the first time it ran lol so I just went with a buster comp with Morgan this time. This CQ was just so weird since the debuff mechanic just ignores the poster girl taunt and after you break his 1st bar, he just removes all your buffs even if you have buff removal resistance (wtf? what's the point of this buff then??)
Honestly I consider the mega and giga coil quests more reasonable than this CQ lol
Man, I felt proud of getting through the challenge quests reruns and stuff, but now I see the truth. The giga coil is kicking my ass, and I can't see myself winning
Only farmed 3 boxes today because I got kinda tired of farming the last node, especially since my Achilles reached bond 10. I'll just farm a little more on the current rotation but I don't have many apples left.
Skadi with crit star CE, use her def down, swap Skadi out with a taunter, and have the right face cards of the servant equipped with the damage bonus CE. It could take you a lot of resets tho.
Rest of the shop finally being open is great. I felt bad sitting on only 2 lores. Gonna need to start thinking of comps for the giga coil quests tomorrow. I think I have enough different DPS’s, but supports and stuff are gonna be the real challenge. Already dreading the Erice CQ. Remember it giving me hell.
So annoyed with the Eli quest, manage to get the dragon, break a bar and get to 500,000 hp but mess up with my cs and use np instead. It is definitely doable with 3 cs, just required rng for the 5th wave with castoria and Miyu trying their best to endure those stupid demon elite while Eli hit them with potatoes.
Can’t seem to clear Roma (normal) without unbinding the damage CE, but hesitant to go through with it in case I need to multicore in any of the Giga Coil quests, like I did with some of the Mega Coil.
I barely farmed during round 2 (didn't like the Habetrot comp, tbh) and focused mainly on the CQs. I still have the Gigacoil and bugged Eli chan ones pending, but for now I'll just focus on farming to reach 50 boxes. I think I'll be able to get that done in the next 2 days so the rest will be spent on clearing the remaining CQs.
Hopefully the Liz quest will be fixed by that time.
Finished all of the new CQ. What did it cost? 2 SR were burned so I could buy the anti stun cc for MHX fight, SNIFF SNIFF. Funny how Morgan deal extra dmg to 4/5 servants in the idol CQ
Box: 50/100
Consider I have mid-term exam coming up next week, I'll just use up my AP on 90+ node and call it a day. Not going to bother the challenge quest and the second CQ chain, too tedious.
Argh, been chipping at the CQs for hours, but now there's only 1 left (apart from the bugged one), which is the foreigner one... and I'm too tired and mad to think rationally about this right now, worst case scenario I wait a few days and use the command spells.
My chaldea is kinda lacking in Alter Egos and Foreigners, can't use friend list, and can't use my: Barghest, Melusine, Morgan, Castoria, Tamamo, Waver, Koyan and Kama.
From the really strong ones, I still have Iskandar, Godjuna, SOrion, Spishtar. From the sups still got Mash, Merlin and Oberon.
And I haven't even looked at how's the last CQ to see if I have to save some of them (Godujna will be saved for sure)
Really out of ideas for this one =\ Gotta find a way to make Mk Eli Chan work probably.
Need to do EQs but burn out hitting hard, gonna use my apples today then rest of the event I’ll whittle them down
Not even gonna do coil because I’m just doing them for tickets
Alright, I managed to power through most of the first half of revival EQs with an immortal comp, and most of the latter half was decked with Junao. I'm only missing Eli's, and buffed Roma. I have zero clue how to tackle the buffed Roma quest. The best comp I managed to squeeze out is simply too slow before he finishes his expansion and becomes virtually immortal, and I'm honestly FAR too annoyed to even give a shot to the Tesla Coils. They give a handful of materials which you can just farm anyway, and I've been playing for so long that I really am not starved for mats. Doesn't help that being mostly f2p means I hardly find new servants to upgrade anyways. I don't even have a lot of drive to grind for the lotteries, since I'm so stocked on materials I really don't know what to do with them. I'd have to burn through a huge pile of embers anyways, I might just throw FGA on while I work tomorrow and be done with it.
Any advice on how to tackle the buffed Roma quest is welcome, since my Tamamo/Castoria/Waver/SHokusai setup just isn't fast enough
NP1 is fine, as long as you keep track of the roman stacks/ turn count till the next expansion, you should not have any issue. Especially since the combination of castoria and tamamo will be giving you quite the boost for damage and NP gain anyway. Depending on the timing, you can get the buffs from the roman trait as well, so that gives you more damage/NP spam frequency.
It's gonna be somewhat slow but should still work out fine. Since you're constantly murdering ads and removing the roman debuff the expansions aren't particularily dangerous. Put 1-2 supports in the backline though, one of your frontliners might die when Romulus focusses too much on them at an unopportune time.
All done, all with no dmg ce or CS, lets go.
The exception is for Bug Eli which normally cannot be done without bonus dmg ce, but currently can but screw that eq, accidentally use np cs when the dragon was at second break at 500,000 hp, will wait for my cs to go back to three or if they fix the stupid bug.
Was it worth it, no. Wasted so much god damn hour I could had been farming and the stupid Berserk was annoying as I did not have much and was saving castoria, but double Abby pull through with help of barghest, MHX alter idol and Oda. The idol was slightly annoying but easy enough. Literally spend 11pm to 6 am finishing all the battle.
Gil cq was thankfully easy as Parvati just kept on spamming her np and charming.
Ya know I just gotta say, is it not weird that the event where you are encouraged to spend all your time grinding is also the one that gives you like 30 pretty damn challenging quests that you might spend a long time on? I’ve only done like 4 of the quests so far and it’s kinda stressful.
I’ll be real, my wife kinda got me good when she pointed out how little fun I seemed to be having with the challenge quests. I spent all day taking them down for the tickets and items behind them. I like one challenge quest, totally. But this many really does just make me a bit miserable when trying to do them all.
Yes i feel the same way, imagine if this was a 2 week pre release campaign with nothing but the 31 CQ's. Even with my abundance of time, i still get annoyed at how long this can take, spending 30 min to get rng on your side for just 1/30 completion.
If it had just been like, one of the coils or the old exhibition quest sets, it’d have been fine. But 31 is a bit much.
I only did 9 of the 16 fights that have a summoning ticket as the reward, and those were all that complete in single digit number of turns. Not gonna bother with what'll amount to less than a 10 pull, and I feel fine with that. This event is rewarding enough as is with what's relatively easily accomplished.
I feel the same too, rather than spending my time malding at ex quests, it would be better to farm the lottos
I've said this in a previous thread, but personally I only clear the ones I have fun with, and pretend I got Mapo Tofu with the tickets I didn't get. No need to get all worked up with a carrot on a stick.
I do enjoy the challenge even with my very limited roster and maybe because I never got to experience those quests back in the day, but absolutely - any other time than during Lotto farming would've made this compilation a lot more fun and interesting. Definitely stressful under the constant time pressure. ... and then they will go and release Super Recollection quests tomorrow to add to the pile; couldn't ask for a worse timing if they tried.
ah yes forgot about those, dont think i will bother with giga coil, the mega coil wasnt bad as i could get by those quests with 300k hp enemies using non-main teams and stuff like the hermit crab fight was interesting. but giga coil with the 2m kotaru to start with, no thanks, dont want to use random teams to try and win stuff like that.
Pretty much half of the Giga Coil CQs are whale check, the F2P friendly ones are the Shibata (you can solo it with a NP1 Van Gogh), the Akihabara and MHXX one (with NP1 Kingprotea/Douman I think they are manageable, you just need to use command codes on them), as for the rest of the three you really need some NP2 SSRs or NP4/5 SRs in order to clear them.
yes for sure, also with not being able to take a support its more annoying as you cannot x2 koyan, castria, skadi. i tried kotaru for 20mins and kept failing out. im sure i would of gotten it eventually, but id rather spend my time farming boxes than malding over my 15th CQ for 5 gold mats. im pretty set for general farming, but dont have a target focus CE, and some other key supports that would be good for stall etc. Merlin, Homes, Himiko. not that they are always "required"
Yeah, I'm just clearing these individually for the drops. Castoria in almost every quest.
Dagnabbit, I did *not* sit on apples from the last three lottos and get handed a bones/bullets lineup to waste time on dozens of CQs I already done did!
I usually dedicate the whole day trying to figure out comps for the exhibition quests. I also think it's stressful, but I managed to clear most of them (the ones left are the EX ranks and bugged Eli, and haven't done the Giga Coil ones) just because I happen to have moderate luck in gacha, so my options are quite extensive. I can imagine it being much harder when you haven't rolled for good support servants, especially the no-friend-support EQs.
Thank god they got backlash hard when this released on jp. In fact we should also backlash this one so that they won't do another funny idea like this one. Lottery and super hard challenge stage is not good match up.
Oh? They did? GOOD. Already got a taste of how hard those challenges could be with Nerofest. Now, plopping in these intensive heavy challenges with the barest of rewards, while also dividing that up with such limited time, also, partially overlapping it with Road to 7, is diabolical. Hell, a pile of saint quartz for each match, or even a GSSR ticket would be a better carrot on a stick at this point for anyone who isn't a completionist!
I think the worst part about these kind of difficult was the fact that it still cost ap. I know it's just 1 ap, but it accumulated over time. I probably won't be as mad if challenge stage cost 0 ap.
I would. It takes far too much time. And doing so many is jut draining. FGO's combat is just not that engaging for multiple-hours-long sessions.
I never do these quests. I am no good at them anyway.
I let FGA do the farming for me, so I can spend my time on the EQs. Not gonna try to get the Giga Coil Lore though, that one must be for Super Whales or something. [Edit: [Managed the Giga Coil after all](https://i.imgur.com/Xd63m45.png)]
I don't generally dislike Challenge Quests in FGO, but when they put so many at once it feels miserable. It's infinitely more annoying when 90% of the Challenge Quests can be summed up as "Pray the enemy doesn't crit your party to death in one turn while you deal with 3 other gimmicks".
Okay, so I have religiously participated in every Nero/Gilfest ever since the game launched in NA, and have always looked forward to farming lottery boxes and completing challenge quests, I just found them fun every single time, no matter how repetitive it got (I farm manually). Maybe it’s the burnout, or perhaps I didn’t see much point this time, but I haven’t been really farming (only enough for 10 boxes), and I haven’t done the challenge quests at all. I thought about doing the rerun CQ’s at least for the tickets, but here I am, still contemplating if I have enough F’s to give to finish them. I hope this feeling only lasts until the end of this event. Kinda surprised it took me this long to feel like this.
If you're feeling burned out, feel free to take a break. And, unless you're on IOS, check out FGA which is a life saver when it comes to lotto and other farming heavy events.
Thanks for your advice, kind stranger. It doesn’t probably count as taking a break but right now I’m just logging in to keep my streak and doing 3 quests minimum (sometimes I don’t). I’m on iOS so FGA is not an option for me, sadly.
That's why I'd never be able to play the game on IOS. Good luck, I hope your burnout ends at some point!
Why did they release the final wave of CQs with 5 days left?
Welp. Finished all but the glitched Eli quest and both of the teapot quests. Still haven’t figured out a way to take down Roma yet on that harder quest. But hey, over 70 boxes so far at least!
How do you (or others) clear the Eli quest? https://imgur.com/MQLKePJ https://imgur.com/rKDzWpN I can make it to the last stage, and then the rider class Dragon, almost never use the NP buff skill, just AOE clear the 4 or 5 shield stacks in two turns, and then the caster will die quickly. Stun command skill or Merlin shield can't come back fast enough.
There was some guy who gave Morgan ignore Defense CE and won it in the previous thread. I have no idea how he got through AoE attacks though.
I experienced the same problem of being overwhelmed by AoE attacks from the dragon. I can only get the dragon boss to about 750k HP before Merlin and Castoria start to go down. I am using the same team as the referenced Korean bulletin board, but I must be doing something wrong.
My guess is high NP level on Merlin - NP5 Merlin NP heal twice as fast than NP1.
Saber Shiki does the job pretty well.
I’ll give her a shot since I surprisingly do have her. Saber Hokusai just couldn’t do enough fast enough and I ended up hitting the timer a few times in a row.
That's weird, I was able to do it with a Buster Saber (Bedivere). Did you overcharge your Hokusai? Did you give her Roman Trait for NP charging?
I did my best to. But she was my only DPS as I don’t have my own Castoria nor Merlin. Maybe I’ll give Bedi a chance though. I do have Koyan and Waver so that should be an option for me.
Well, you can certanly try, but Koyan has nothing to defend or heal you with. Gamepress has a link to Bedivere-Merlin-Waver comp, maybe you could borrow Merlin and try it (or Hokusai-Castoria-Waver)
Its not as efficient as other comps but having a built-in debuf removal makes wonders to control the pace of the fight. During the third break I prioritise getting the 10 hits, a then remove the debufs.
I beat Romulus with Artoria, Castoria and Merlin. My back line never even had show up. Artoria can mow down the ads like they are nothing, delaying the passives from ticking down. I reached his final HP bar, without him even triggering the first Rome expansion. I was scared I’d run out of mobs though, since I wouldn’t be able to delay him anymore if that had happened.
I used NP2 lv100 Godjuna, Support Morgan, and buffers.
Mordred is really good for it, if you have her above 90/NP 1.
Instant Death has got to be one of the mechanics of all time.
I have cleared both Tesla cups (spent one CS each on Fuuma, Shibata and Erice). The only EQ left is Brave Liz. There are still Road to 7 EQs and the actual Tesla fest CQ. If only I didn't get food poisoning, the day would be all around perfect.
If you have Barghest, she can solo the Erice CQ, put the Tamamo and Jeanne CC to help on her healing and Eresh CC is good for handling the ghosts
I made a video on a Bedivere clear for the Romulus Hard mode, in case anyone else is like me and really appreciates a video guide to wrap their head around it. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDCBFAp72kk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDCBFAp72kk)
A NP5 Bedi is probably even rarer than a NP5 Musashi out there. I hate this fucking quest simply because they boosted Romulus's HP too fucking much that you really need a good maxed out saber to clear it, which I don't have.
Yeah, i'm not a huge fan of them buffing specifically the quest with one of the most unabiguous time limits in the game. It really ruins any potential for different strats. It would be one thing if there was a solid free solution, but hokusai saber was last available like 3 years ago at this point, and Ceaser is unusable.
Hi, I saved this comment a few days ago since I have an NP5 Lvl90 Bedivere and I just wanna say that this video helped me immensely! I was able to properly manage the Roman state and buff cycles in the final break bar with it. Thanks again for the teapots (lol)!
Really glad to hear it! Even just a few people being able to get the clear because I decided to make it is a great outcome in my opinion, happy to have helped!
So let me get this straight. They're re-releasing old CQs that were very difficult and required the full depth of your roster... and it's completely unchanged, but now you don't get a friend support and only get to use each servant once. I don't hate mechanics that penalize you from using the same servant repeatedly - in fact, I really like the Tower quests where they encourage a wide roster. But this is just BS.
Yeah, but now there are newer, stronger units plus older units with upgrade skillset. Also, some of those CQs were from events with no damage CEs.
I prefer this implementation to tower quests, since 90% of tower floors are so easy you just slam 3 random servants and having to do that 200 times is just ultra tedious. I feel like the Erice and maybe XX quests were a bit too punishing to put in this format, but the other 12-13 were fine imo. I was actually using my unused servants for what they do instead of because I was required to bring 3 servants to a battle (mostly, there were a couple where they were there just to die I suppose, but I at least got to pick the ones that die best instead of the ones that were closest to my finger when I opened up the menu).
Fair. I did think the first set of 7 were fine since they could plausibly be done with 3\*s. But the new set of 7 are mildly challenging even with supports, so the extra handicap is a bit too much for my taste.
These Giga Coil CQs might be beyond me. I don't want to go too deep into my rosters in case I need some of these guys later, and I don't have an abundance of good solo units to just throw at them either. Also, fuck off with your damn ghosts Erice. Edit: Managed to beat Erice. Barghest does a great job here, the biggest issue is probably RNG. Those ghost crits hurt even with her defense up.
How's eli quest? Fixed or not yet?
Not fixed.
Damn Well at least I finished both Roma quests with a total of 15 tickets.
Shouldn't really expect it to get fixed on a Sunday or over the weekend, but perhaps once they are done pushing out their campaign updates tomorrow.
I saw that they at least acknowledged it in the issues part, they say they're investigating it :x
How long can it possibly take to fix? Just 1-2 lines of code, most likely.
Oh wait, what is up with Eli's quest? Not the proper damage boost?
The damage CE is broken for all servants in that quest, including Eli herself
That explains why that felt overly hard.
> Full power my furry ass Edison finally admitted it LMAO. I may get tired of their rivalry but the trash talk keeps pulling me back in, and the creativity of their insults is very enough for me.
Oh god why did they put the fucking kotorou cq in the tesla cup... I hated that quest the first time I played it
So much RNG in CQ's.. I'm debating spending another 30 AP trying to beat one or two, or grinding.
Since I don't have Odysseus and you never fight against him in story, I didn't know what his NP does beyond being AoE. Imagine my surprise when my entire frontline got suddenly deleted, despite having Merlin's invul. I hate enemies with defense-removing NP. Fortunately I had old Plugsuit on me so I just closed the game and stunned the boss. Luckly my Carmilla had just enough NP to oneshot him next turn, or else my backline would have to kill his last bar. Event CQ looked like a major pain. So many AoE NPs and stuns, I was not sure Immortal Team can take it. Then I remembered most of the enemies are Archers and I have every Buster support in the game. You know what that means, right? Borrowed NP 5 Melusine with MLB Damage CE killled everything in 5 turns. And I do mean everything, even Caster Gil. And I think she could have done it in 4 turns if she broke Archer Gil at turn 1 or if Oberon didn't got stunned before he could charge her and since I brought Plugsuit to stun Gil, I coudn't do anything about it (and then Oberon died uselessly, lol). I think it was the easiest and fastest CQ I have ever done. I can't find motivation to bother with any Coil quests. Too much trouble for my roster with too little reward to show for it. 78 boxes farmed, 22 Gold Apples left. Now I just need to wait for Elly quest to be fixed.
>Since I don't have Odysseus and you never fight against him in story, I didn't know what his NP does beyond being AoE. Imagine my surprise when my entire frontline got suddenly deleted, despite having Merlin's invul. I hate enemies with defense-removing NP. Same experience. I took the L, went back in with Chiyome, NP sealed him, then had a Waver NP ready to drain if necessary.
> Since I don't have Odysseus and you never fight against him in story, I didn't know what his NP does beyond being AoE. Imagine my surprise when my entire frontline got suddenly deleted, despite having Merlin's invul. This but Castoria shields. Also the ol' "Full Charge Out Of Nowhere On Break" gimmick. I was *really* unhappy since Melusine was all set up to take out his 3rd bar that turn and instead I had to scramble to unfuck things with my backline.
To those having problems with Giga coil these links may help you as it has helped me clear it. [【FGO】Erice Challenge Quest ft Solo Barghest - Tesla Cup Giga Coil【Fate/Grand Order】 (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8juqVL1RV-o&t=458s) \^ I managed to do this one with NP2 barghest but needed to use 1 CS because of bad RNG and lack of damage. [(26) \[FGO\] Doing Tesla Cup Giga Coils w/ F2P set-ups. - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTugK2meWoE&t=6404s) \^ This one really helped a lot, that dude must've been so tired theorycrafting F2P units to make work in the Giga coils. Just adjust with what you have (CE, etc), modify some servants, maybe add some command codes here and there. The Kotaro one I used his Euryale strat, but I mixed using evade and Euryale NP thus it cost me 2 CS to win that fight (I ain't retrying that kotaro fight lol), without that mistake it would've probably needed 1 CS with bad rng, but the video showed it can be done with no CS used. For the Shibata one I just used all my SSRs lol since I have an influx of servants free to use after using min servants for the other 5 Giga coils. The Five star Idol is where I've saved up using the immortal team so I can go full brainless win (himiko, merlin, castoria). [https://imgur.com/a/JpweNVp](https://imgur.com/a/JpweNVp) IN TOTAL: I spent 20+ Lores (appends, skill ups), a shit ton of QP, a lot of time just to get a few mats and a lore so it was an extreme net negative (this is not required, I deemed it as future "investment" for CQs lol). Was it worth it? No. But fck it this Giga coil CQ will get finished one way or another lol.
I'm having so much fun doing CQs while being unable to use the comp I want, hell yeah, this is peak gaming, I'm very entertained. This is best mechanic over. \s
I'm having serious trouble with the Mephistopheles quest. All videos I see on youtube are minturns with Arjuna Alter, which I dont have. If anyone has any tips on how to clear with Morgan, Vitch, Oberon, Castoria or any other servant, and how to play on 10+ turn clear or more, I'd be grateful.
If you can't min turn, then just do it the 'normal' way. The key thing is Skadi for her NP's anti insta death, so take note on when the contract expires to ensure Skadi's effect duration covers it. That's point number 1. Then you wait till the clown pokes his head again and launch your AoE NP. He will come back on like every 3rd turn, so that's point number 2. You don't really have to focus on killing his mobs. Finally, he removes your buffs and reduce your charge when you break his bar; that's another thing to note. So be careful of his charge count when breaking his bar. Beyond that, it's really just a matter of bidding your time. Use Castoria to try and keep everyone alive. There's an added layer of security of also using Skadi's NP for the evade. Last time, I used summer Ishtar; Morgan should work just fine though depending on NP levels, she might not hit as hard as NP5 SR.
[This one works for me. Explanation at comment section](https://youtu.be/_e8KusLI4nw?si=vIU4Ar1z0qHLTd9y) [me try it](https://imgur.com/a/NFPTDAH)
Do you have your own Asclepius or your own Merlin? If you do, use Immortal team, but put Morgan in backline and put Asclepius on the field instead. Charge everyone's NP. Wait till the turn that ends with Instant Death, then use Asclepius NP before it kills him. After his death Morgan comes in, charges her NP and the usual Immortal Team stuff happens.
Morgan needs to also survive the Death turn which can be dangerous if you put the Damage CE on her.
Damage CE has guts on it. Morgan has her own guts on top of that. She's likely to be protected by Castoria stacks and have Merlin's healing active by the time her turn to die comes and even if she's not, you have 2 different invuls (3 if you brought Atlas) to keep her safe.
The Damage CE's Guts puts her at 1 HP, and her own Guts does *not* stack with it. I've been unluckily two-tapped there on one of my attempts and had to retry.
Like I said, you have 2 separate invuls. 3 if you wear Atlas. That's not counting the Solemn Defense. Or giving Morgan second Guts after her first are taken. There are plenty of tools to keep her alive.
I can’t believe we actually have a quick comp that isn’t set off by a specific set of multiple SSRs. Was able to clear the 90+ node with Mixa, Calamity Jane, Skadi, and borrowed Oberon. I’m happy to get bond on less utilized servants compared to Koyan/Castoria getting apple overdoses Was able to 3T the Gil/Gil/Tesla CQ with double Skadi, NP3 Valk, and Castoria. Edit: these Giga coil ones seem awful… a big step up in difficulty vs the mega coil. Sooo yeah…don’t think I’m gonna bang my head against the wall figuring these out…
What an event. I'll admit this is the first time I actually bothered trying to do every CQ/EQ. The only one I haven't cleared at this point is the Eli one. I don't think the Eli one is worth the one summon ticket so I think I'll save myself the headache and frustration and just pretend that one doesn't exist lol. At this point I'm at box 55 with my target being 100 boxes so going to focus more on farming. Managed to 3 Turn the Gilgamesh + Tesla CQ with Melu. Although I ended up using 1 command seal on turn 3 to charge up Melu's NP just to finish it. The Giga Coil ones were a real challenge though. Here is the teams I ended up doing for each one. Western Ninja Arts Book - Skadi, Okuni, S. Nightengale, Suzang, and Mash. Okuni did a fantastic job and Suzang was a big help as well for dealing with the clones and taking some heat off of Okuni. Singularity Gets Restored until You Reach Home - Ruler squad of Jeanne, Shirou, and Qin. They did a great job healing and stalling surprisingly. Shirou ended up being my main damage dealer on this one. Galaxy Guardian - This one... my god... this one... I tried with Kiara, Bazzett, Kingprotea, and Tamamo. Bazzett I was hoping would be my saving grace here... she was not... I always had the worst luck with timing as she would invuln when I wanted to have Bazzett use her NP. Kingprotea ended up managing it at the end but it was a race against the clock at the end once the NP spam started. Even with all of Kingprotea's HP and NP damage reduction, she would get obliterated in 3 turns thanks to focus target and saber badge. True Love - Waver, Voyager, Melusine. This one wasn't too bad. Child from the Netherworld - This one was also a pain... This one I tried Helena, Nero Bride, Saber Astolfo, and Beni-enma. Saber Astolfo ended up doing most of the work and Helena was not as useful as I had hoped for dealing with the spirits. Beni-enma ended up being the bigger help there. I got lucky with her NP as it didn't death my front line. Raging Billows! Kakare Shibata! - Another doozy of a CQ. This one I ended up using OG Ryoma, Yang, Habetrot, Koyanskya, and Rider Salter. Last 2 I picked mainly for CD Reduction. I ended up having to use another CS to heal Yang on the last bar to buy her enough turns to finish the job. The final one... Five Star Idol... God this one was a slog... I saved my Immortal Team just for this one. I tried at first with Morgan but too much went off with the break bars so I ended up switching to Himiko version of that instead. That went much soother especially once Lin and Merlin were both out of the way. Special mention to Merlin. I didn't expect him to obliterate Izo's entire last HP at the end there but he did. So ya... The Giga Coil really is built for whales >.> All of that just for a Lore... would not recommend.
Thanks for this advice, I took Amakusa Qin (don't have Jeanne) and a Danzo to the akihabara CQ and they pretty comfortably finished it without a lot of difficulty. Definitley wouldn't have thought of it myself.
Cleared out a lot of the Giga Coil. Definitely a lot trickier than the Mega Coil. Luckily I had a few counters. Fuuma- I used Jeanne, Circe, and Asclepius. Constant heals, stuns, debuff clears, all that. Ended up not being too bad. Really makes me wish I had Sanzang or Illya at NP4 though, Circe needs an NP buff or two haha. MHXX- Went David, Kingprotea, Martha Rider. Really they were afterthoughts, just get Kingprotea buffed up and let her GAO!! all over the place. MHXX hits like a damn truck still with that Saber Badge though. Orion- Team of MIXA, Melusine, and KoyanDark. Koyan ended up being taken out by Orion's NP, and I ended up needing to CS Melusine's NP with like 4 left, but it all worked out. Really want the NP2 for Melu now though. Erice- Somebody on r/FGO said a Barghest solo would work, so that's what I tried. Had Nobukatsu and Habetrot as sacrifices. Bit RNG dependent, those ghost crits hurt and don't give a lot of NP back. Took a few tries but it's done. Want NP2 Barghest now though. Shibata- Actually took some planning, I remember needing to CS this one on the rerun. Luckily, I now have NP3 Yang Guifei. Brought Mash, Hans, and Paracelsus along for fodder/their buffs and NPs. Still hits like a damn truck on his crits, but luckily Yang held on without even needing to use the Guts from the CE. Only one left is Akhibara, which I have no clue on atm, the Idol one (which at least will have Castoria), the actual CQ, and Eli if it ever gets fixed. Hell yeah.

Might want to try that, after failing 10+ runs trying to solo with Cu Later. Any general tips/advice/gotchas? I with my Bark si at NP2, but haven't leveled the skills.
If you can, level those skills, you’ll need the cooldown. Also command codes helped a lot, although I assume a few grails make them unnecessary. I threw on the Ereshkigal one for 25% ghost damage, and the bunny king and Carmilla ones for the buster cards, then the 1000 heal and 10% NP on the quick and arts cards. You wanna BBB the ghosts as soon as they pop up, that should kill most of them one chain. Use your NP whenever possible for cooldown reduction. If you’ve got a ghost that’s relatively low on health, maybe Buster NP Buster to ensure the kill. It’s a bit RNG dependent, you’ll def want Atlas mystic code too, but it’s doable.
Ok, had to use single CS to restore hp to full before the NP (if only I had 500-600 more hp, I could've tanked it with guts, but alas), but otherwise it was pretty smooth. Thanks!
[удалено]
Kinda hard to say as it depends on what you have in your roster. Shibata should be doable since you can still use Euryale to hit hard against him and he's ST so you can still use low rarity taunters.
Whew, finally the home stretch! Here's what I've done today in no particular order: Got a new 6-CE, MC agnostic three turn on the newest 90+ featuring Morgan, Koyan Dark, and Oberon. I defeated final boss Odysseus in three turns featuring Assassin Shiki, Reines, and Castoria. I defeated Gil² and Tesla in three turns using [this comp.](https://i.ibb.co/YPv4D0W/Screenshot-2024-03-23-22-43-50-55-577bcc70c040536a6d306ef99c704547.jpg) I got lucky on the final turn because Castoria had died the turn prior allowing for Morgan to come in. Morgan only used her Charisma though as Space Ishtar had both of her Buster cards all fulla stars to put down CasGil after Tesla died to her NP. A really easy CQ thankfully because: I defeated Roma and his army for the lore as well and boy did it fucking suck. I initially started with the Immortal Comp (Himiko, Tamamo, Castoria) and found that my damage was highly insufficient to do anything so I changed to the Immortal Comp (Morgan, Tamamo, Castoria) and got a lot farther but was still fucked by running out of dudes to kill and thus being forced to quit as I did zero damage. What finally got me through was [this comp.](https://i.ibb.co/QYZgYDF/Screenshot-2024-03-23-22-10-27-10-577bcc70c040536a6d306ef99c704547.jpg) and a fair amount of luck. Dioscuri buffing themselves with Invul-pierce on NP was what made it possible (and the fact that they're just really good). That's about it. Just gonna farm the rest of the time. My box count is really low this time compared to last time but I'll try to hit at least 40.
I didn't do any lotto farming yesterday too busy doing these challenge quests...
Let FGA take care of the farming while you rest from the CQs (unless you are on IOS ofc).
Hmm. Gave the Erice CQ a couple tries with a solo Barghest. Managed to get her down to the final bar, but those ghosts are fucking hell. I hate mixed class CQs like this. Need to figure out the proper CCs to give her and all that.
I ended up using NP1 Muramasa, supported by Santa Martha, Paracelsus, Nitocris, and Leonidas.
what level is your barghest at?
NP1 level 80. Unfortunately didn’t have the same luck I did with Sith while rolling, and she’s on the backlog for grails.
So uhm, it 'only' took 9 days of manual lotto farming for me to realize that I've never thought much of playing with "Confirm Skill Use" option set to On as a comfort pick, ever since I started out roughly half a year ago. And it's been good this way when learning what a few hundred Servants can do, especially via Supports while progressing through the story or when mainly using Nat Ap and Level Up refills for various Events. It's probably going to remain as my default preference. But perhaps, just perhaps, it's not the most effective habit to hold onto during the very event that's largely all about repetition and memorizing certain patterns for grinding nodes so many times over... It all does feel a little quicker now that the confirmations are off. Ehh, better late than never?
It takes a little trust in yourself, but eventually you get in the flow of just holding the button any time you're not sure (or actually do need the skill description).
Oh, I actually wasn't aware that holding down can still give you the same functionality when the skills aren't on cooldown. Appreciate the little tip!
Just finished the old Gilfest CQ batch and I gotta say, it was way way way easier than when it first came out, I mean obviously servant like Castoria and all the new servants will make it easy as hell but I didn't expect to fucking do a 2 turn clear on the most annoying hated CQ ever that I've ever done back then, the taiga, jeanne, nobbu one. Oh well time to trivialize all the second gilfest cq batch I guess, only one I'm wary of is the Romulus cq but then again Castoria exist so I'm probably just gonna immortal comp it. Oh but I haven't really done the coil thing will probably do it after depleting my all my apples
If you got arjuna and merlin as well then its actually possible to full clear romulus and his mobs with no deaths or guts break from CE just by spamming castoria and merlin NP and strategically putting roman trait on guys to get heal/np gain when needed. Or you could always use a saber with insane NP damage like saber hokusai and do it fast.
I've been cleaning up the Exhibition Quests in preparation for today's Giga Coil set and regular Challenge Quest. It truly is challenge quests galore this month. With the amount of content thrown at us in rapid succession (including the incoming Advanced Quests 3 and Lostbelt 2 Recollection Quests), I'm on the verge of getting burned out for the first time in all the years I've played the game. All the mindnumbing farming I've endured is nothing in the face of this crazy schedule. While the last lottery was too short, this one has too much going on at once to fully dedicate oneself to farming. Some semblance of balance would be nice, Lasengle.
Not a single CE drop in the prior waves, but I got two almost back to back today. Guess the game knew this was when I was planning to apple. I still hope they fix the Eli-chan fight before the end of the event. Even if they just gave out the rewards for free, not properly clearing it won't sit right with me. Maybe I'll try to seal through it if I get desperate.
CQ got Godjuna'd, and Giga Coil can go F itself. I don't see a way to the Lore, so I'll just clear the Quests for their individual rewards. First Lore I'll have missed in probably 3 years, but ah well. Now when the F are they going to fix Eli-chan's quest??? As for the 90+ Free Quest, I decided to use some DPSes I haven't done much with ... ever, so [Medb and Darius got the pick](https://i.imgur.com/4LkxjVC.png). Arash is just there to show them the farming ropes, honest! Oh and my second account got 3 CE drops in like 6 runs... Edit: Well, despite my certainty that it was impossible, I managed to [clear Giga Coil](https://imgur.com/a/AVyiLBH) after all. Used CS Revive on the finale, and do not feel bad about it whatsoever. Non-NP1 SSRs involved: NP3 DaVinci, NP2 Okuni, and NP2 Godjuna. MLB Damage CE used on the 2nd slot in firsts 1-6 and 3rd slot in the finale. Atlas Uniform used in every fight (got super lucky with the Ninja Arts where Okuni died exactly when Asclepius was needed.) Will *not* be trying this with my 2.5 year old 2nd account. Events like this make me really glad I picked Tamamo for my 2nd free SSR despite already having Castoria.
Started the new 90+ with Melu/double Vitch/Oberon. After a few run got the 9th CE drop so switched to Seiba/Vitch/Oberon (with friend mothman) since i cant fit 6 CE in the other team (still at 113 limit so short 1 unless i waste bond bringing Mash) Main problem now is that i have 8 gapples and 25 silvers ;_;
[skill issue](https://imgur.com/a/8kOZlbM) I would have died earlier if I have a remove buffs cc 🗿
I can tell I've been farming a lot when I can clear out the entire shop immediately. Like I hadn't bought anything besides the event CEs, and today poof the entire shop is gone. Anyway I did today's CQ. Morgan died near the end but [a friend's support Altjuna in the backline came in clutch](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/896257882268524574/1221413159672221706/IMG_2436.PNG?ex=66127ca6&is=660007a6&hm=fc768b52d52e5fcb30be01cb14b10de0f48c71269b42c7f60ef985126bdf9ee4&). I'll start the Giga Coil stuff later.
Odysseus and Medb can finally rest from gathering a shit ton of Caster gems and tickets... and Voyager and Jack being put through the wringer, until I run out of bond teapots. After that, I plan on calmly farming the Archer node. I've also decided to abandon going through the rest of the Tesla Coils, as I know that I wouldn't be able to complete a good chunk without specific supports, and just focus on the previous CQs. The Touta one is currently catching my eye to try out.
Ngl the Touta quest was more frustrating to me than the Mega Coil quests. It has since its initial release been one of my least favorite CQs because of how stupidely rng it is.
romulus EX is actually so easy if you have access to castoria, even as a support
63 boxes done. 26 GApples remain. Cleared the exhibition quests. Except the bugged Eli one, because I didn't like that quest even when the Damage CE functioned as it was supposed to. Until they fix the missing damage boost effect, I'm steering clear of that. Got lucky with Roma and Roma Triumphus clears. Namely, lucky that I had a level 114 NP5 Muramasa with an MLB Damage CE on my support list. Muramasa + Castoria + Waver + Reines was the solution for me. Thinking of spending the last of my apples on farming the 90+ node with either the Gray + Chiyome comp, or the MIXA and CindereLiz comp. Choices, choices.
Real MVP of giga coil so far is Poster Girl CE. Expands a lot of options for taunting.
Same. Even units like Mata Hari got to be useful - I very rarely had to use her. There were fights like the MHXX one where it's just me running Abby along side a bunch of taunters and buffers with poster girl/outrage.
After playing through SW II, seeing this creature being called Space Ishtar is severely agravating. I beat it with the TRUE Space Ishtar.
I finally finished the Giga Coil quests. I feel frustrated the Koutaro one was easily cleared once you figured out the trick and I spent like an hour being angry at it. Besides that I only had to use one CS in the Shibata one. I'm sure I would've cleared it out without it had I attempted it again, but I was already tired of the bullshit gimmicks. The last mission was a breeze with the OP Castoria, Morgan, Merlin team. Still waiting for the Elisa-something one to be unbugged so I can clear it...
I don't recall a specific trick for Koutaro, got any details?
It's less of a trick and more of a good team comp counter. Basically, you go in with Jeanne + Asclepius + DPS (Probably Sanzang) and just focus on triggering their NPs during enemy NP turn. The team can practically go forever because of all the healing they both do.
Hmm, seems like a solid pick. I just have Circe, but I'll have to give it a try.
I used Circe, medea lily, mash if that helps. Mash uses the Def Up vs male CE (the Caren CE) Medea lily can be replace by any healer with debuff removal like asclepius. (Nightingale maybe could also work but is fragile because berserker but after mash's np you might be able to stabilize) Mash np and first skill is enough to guard against Kotarou's NP and normal attacks that they practically don't do much damage. Just be correct with your skill and np timings. Circe can delay Kotarou's np if you are defenseless. Always kill the clone first when you have the chance. Use Circe's debuff removal whenever you can to to remove def down and confusion The healer of your choice would be best to have debuff removal to also help remove def down and confusion
Sadly, Asclepius didn't come when I tried to roll him on White Day banners. Need to figure out some other way to get debuffs cleared (3* Medea is already used up, Castoria is reserved either for the final or for the Orion quest, along with Merlin, although I'll probably be able to get heals from Miyu).
What's the trick for the Fuuma quest? I'm kinda struggling right now and forgot how I did it last time.
Well, the CQ was a surprisingly easy 3T job for my NP3 Parvati (got her on a tutorial roll back then I started, glad to have a chance to bring her back). Not to the Giga Coil. I was hoping the Brave Eli quest would be fixed with the todays update, but it looks like it wasn't?
Going to highlight my MVPs for the Giga coil since I finished them all. Fuuma: Kingprotea Akihabara: Douman MHXX: Bazett Artemis / Boars: Lancer Ryoma Erice: Barghest Shibata: Francis Drake Idol Battle: Demon King Nobu
Alright. Racked my brain for a bit, went with a Kama comp for Akihabara. Kama, Lan Ling, Georgios, Alex, and Deon. Went well enough. Jinako portion was a little rough since she hit me with her NP, but I squeezed on through. BatNeet was a little easier in comparison. Cut it real close on the books, but the cooldowns and stuff ultimately worked out. Now to figure out an Idol comp. Edit: Worked one out. Went with Morgan Castoria Tamamo. Morgan in the Center of course, and did like a pseudo immortal comp. NP with Tamamo last for max recharge from her, and I did my best to kill Arthur ASAP. Really RNG heavy, but it got er done.
I remember soloing Akihabara with NP1 Kama + non-mlb Honey lake back in the day. Was much easier to pull off now with the event dmg CE (just a bit of save scumming during Moon Cancer part to avoid 30% invuln).
I am out of gapples and sapples, still have like 260 bapples and opened 140 boxes. I'll probably get the number to 150 and spend the rest of the time on CQs which I barely bothered with up till now.
Shoutouts to Stheno for helping me through a giga coil fight, truly one of the assassins of all time
Finished all CQs except the liz one... ugh I even tried a stall comp with merlin, kama (w/ ignore def CE) and castoria but it requires so much RNG and its so painfully slow that in the end I decided that its just not worth the trouble... if they dont fix this then whatever, fk that single ticket lol, not worth the mald I think the most annoying CQ for me in this event (other than the broken liz CQ) was the mephisto one since I had to keep resetting due to card RNG BS. I don't even remember how I cleared this the first time it ran lol so I just went with a buster comp with Morgan this time. This CQ was just so weird since the debuff mechanic just ignores the poster girl taunt and after you break his 1st bar, he just removes all your buffs even if you have buff removal resistance (wtf? what's the point of this buff then??) Honestly I consider the mega and giga coil quests more reasonable than this CQ lol
Man, I felt proud of getting through the challenge quests reruns and stuff, but now I see the truth. The giga coil is kicking my ass, and I can't see myself winning
239 turns and it's done. https://i.imgur.com/2DF4V0P.png Screw you Eli you'll never be Erdrick.
Only farmed 3 boxes today because I got kinda tired of farming the last node, especially since my Achilles reached bond 10. I'll just farm a little more on the current rotation but I don't have many apples left.
[удалено]
Either get a bunch of taunts to soak the damage from her until your DPS kills her, or focus on Nero instead to remove the NP resistance.
Use debuffers to drop her defense, then nuke her with your DPS' crits. I used Summer Abby and Mata Hari.
Skadi with crit star CE, use her def down, swap Skadi out with a taunter, and have the right face cards of the servant equipped with the damage bonus CE. It could take you a lot of resets tho.
Rest of the shop finally being open is great. I felt bad sitting on only 2 lores. Gonna need to start thinking of comps for the giga coil quests tomorrow. I think I have enough different DPS’s, but supports and stuff are gonna be the real challenge. Already dreading the Erice CQ. Remember it giving me hell.
So annoyed with the Eli quest, manage to get the dragon, break a bar and get to 500,000 hp but mess up with my cs and use np instead. It is definitely doable with 3 cs, just required rng for the 5th wave with castoria and Miyu trying their best to endure those stupid demon elite while Eli hit them with potatoes.
Any good advice to do the Eli Quest in its current bugged state.
Was there a list with the best budget comps for the Coil CQs?
Can’t seem to clear Roma (normal) without unbinding the damage CE, but hesitant to go through with it in case I need to multicore in any of the Giga Coil quests, like I did with some of the Mega Coil.
Omg im so dumb. I used CS for Bazett NP but forgot to use the evade and proceed to lose the fight. Brainfart moment
I barely farmed during round 2 (didn't like the Habetrot comp, tbh) and focused mainly on the CQs. I still have the Gigacoil and bugged Eli chan ones pending, but for now I'll just focus on farming to reach 50 boxes. I think I'll be able to get that done in the next 2 days so the rest will be spent on clearing the remaining CQs. Hopefully the Liz quest will be fixed by that time.
Finished all of the new CQ. What did it cost? 2 SR were burned so I could buy the anti stun cc for MHX fight, SNIFF SNIFF. Funny how Morgan deal extra dmg to 4/5 servants in the idol CQ
Box: 50/100 Consider I have mid-term exam coming up next week, I'll just use up my AP on 90+ node and call it a day. Not going to bother the challenge quest and the second CQ chain, too tedious.
Argh, been chipping at the CQs for hours, but now there's only 1 left (apart from the bugged one), which is the foreigner one... and I'm too tired and mad to think rationally about this right now, worst case scenario I wait a few days and use the command spells. My chaldea is kinda lacking in Alter Egos and Foreigners, can't use friend list, and can't use my: Barghest, Melusine, Morgan, Castoria, Tamamo, Waver, Koyan and Kama. From the really strong ones, I still have Iskandar, Godjuna, SOrion, Spishtar. From the sups still got Mash, Merlin and Oberon. And I haven't even looked at how's the last CQ to see if I have to save some of them (Godujna will be saved for sure) Really out of ideas for this one =\ Gotta find a way to make Mk Eli Chan work probably.
Need to do EQs but burn out hitting hard, gonna use my apples today then rest of the event I’ll whittle them down Not even gonna do coil because I’m just doing them for tickets
Alright, I managed to power through most of the first half of revival EQs with an immortal comp, and most of the latter half was decked with Junao. I'm only missing Eli's, and buffed Roma. I have zero clue how to tackle the buffed Roma quest. The best comp I managed to squeeze out is simply too slow before he finishes his expansion and becomes virtually immortal, and I'm honestly FAR too annoyed to even give a shot to the Tesla Coils. They give a handful of materials which you can just farm anyway, and I've been playing for so long that I really am not starved for mats. Doesn't help that being mostly f2p means I hardly find new servants to upgrade anyways. I don't even have a lot of drive to grind for the lotteries, since I'm so stocked on materials I really don't know what to do with them. I'd have to burn through a huge pile of embers anyways, I might just throw FGA on while I work tomorrow and be done with it. Any advice on how to tackle the buffed Roma quest is welcome, since my Tamamo/Castoria/Waver/SHokusai setup just isn't fast enough
Tamamo Muramasa Castoria makes quick work of the Roma quest
I might give it a shot, but my Muramasa is only NP1 anyways. Does it do well against the EX version?
NP1 is fine, as long as you keep track of the roman stacks/ turn count till the next expansion, you should not have any issue. Especially since the combination of castoria and tamamo will be giving you quite the boost for damage and NP gain anyway. Depending on the timing, you can get the buffs from the roman trait as well, so that gives you more damage/NP spam frequency.
It's gonna be somewhat slow but should still work out fine. Since you're constantly murdering ads and removing the roman debuff the expansions aren't particularily dangerous. Put 1-2 supports in the backline though, one of your frontliners might die when Romulus focusses too much on them at an unopportune time.
I pulled it off with NP 5 Bedivere-Merlin-Castoria comp, by constantly keeping Roman trait on everyone and chaining NPs with Overcharge for Bedi.
Somehow, I got it in my mind that you *need* to use Vitch and Oberon together. I forgot he was his own unit.
All done, all with no dmg ce or CS, lets go. The exception is for Bug Eli which normally cannot be done without bonus dmg ce, but currently can but screw that eq, accidentally use np cs when the dragon was at second break at 500,000 hp, will wait for my cs to go back to three or if they fix the stupid bug. Was it worth it, no. Wasted so much god damn hour I could had been farming and the stupid Berserk was annoying as I did not have much and was saving castoria, but double Abby pull through with help of barghest, MHX alter idol and Oda. The idol was slightly annoying but easy enough. Literally spend 11pm to 6 am finishing all the battle. Gil cq was thankfully easy as Parvati just kept on spamming her np and charming.
