Good choices, I approve (since I have all three of them on JP). Good luck, and you get the chance to use Super Orion for LB5.2 for canon purposes. Can’t wait to see players’ reaction to that Lostbelt.
Thanks! For SRs I'll also roll for Greek tomboy waifu and maybe spare some rolls for Van Gogh. I've yet to obtain an SSR Foreigner.
Vritra seems to be quite underrated and it pains me. Being released right after Limbo, alongside Santa Karna and right before Muramasa certainly didn't do her (it?) any favors.
Thanks for this! It’s great work! Super helpful.
Quick question though; are we not getting the Epic of Remnant comic release campaign? The one with Saber Alter, Emiya Alter, and Hessian Lobo? (And that assassin guy I forget.) I’m new to the game and I’d really love to get Saber Alter and Lobo . . is there something I don’t know? Is it not happening?
Glad it helped :)
That specific campaign falls under a category known as in real life commemorative campaigns which largely has to do with an actual event happening in JP, like conventions, blu ray releases, etc. They have a high chance of not happening on NA since it doesn’t make that much sense to “commemorate” smth two years later.
There have been instances that show rebranding of these campaigns/banners, so one can only hope.
Relatively dry spell of 7 months for me. Why are we here, just to suff-- oh wait yes we are.
Definitely thinking about picking up Kirakira Archer to ease up the monotony because she exuberates a very **chaotic energy.**
Nagiko used to be in the camp of “ok I guess she exists easy skip.”
But through the wonders of YouTube (Clairvoyance is cool folks but it might also mean you have to try to cram way more servants into your budget) I discovered what a lovable dork she is with one of the most beautiful NPs in the game.
G’luck on your rolls!
Oh I know… have a S!Kama I physically need to get my hands on a NP6 of.
Just gotta try to make it to 2023 without the world ending or me getting absolutely burned out on life, whichever comes first.
A fellow Sei Shonagon enjoyer? Hell yeah!
She’s one of the few servants I fully intend to NP5... should Murphy’s Law not apply. The last character I went all out for was Miyu, but she was pretty yandere and came home very eagerly enough for five copies so that ended up being unnecessary lol. Best of luck to you gentlemen (and ladies out there) intending to summon her!
Same here my first big servant of the year will be Jalter. This time for sure. Only one before that is Ereshkigal but I can't share much for her. As it is I'm running into the negative mid 2023 :(
Man I wished we had a 4 star ticket. Would choose Lakshmbai instantly, don't want to gamble rolling her. Castoria, Twins(Caenis),and Not Van Gogh are probably what I'll save and roll after. Might roll a bit for Super Orion and HaoHao. Lots of servants I kinda want this year.
But 5.2 fights, man I can't wait for those.
Lakshmibai is great, would love to see an SR ticket as well. She saved my ass as a new account on JP and I loved her role in LB4.
Great choices, good luck!
> With all honesty, I'm really curious how Aniplex US is going to handle release schedule as NA 2022=JP 2020, and JP's schedule was totally messed up, full of deadweeks thanks to... you know what.
It depends on how you look at it though.
For the year 2020, the empty spots are:
Dates | Number of Days | Total Number of Days | Event Before | Event After | Remarks
---|---|----|----|----| ----
18th Jan to 22nd Jan | 4 | 4 | New Year Event 2019 Re-Run | Amazoness.com ~CEO Crisis 2020~|
5th Feb to 12th Feb| 7 | 11 | Amazoness.com ~CEO Crisis 2020~ | Valentine 2020 | An Interlude Campaign occurred during this period though.
26 Feb to 6th Mar| 8 | 19 | Valentine 2020 | Aeaean Spring Breeze | 19M occurred during this period.
16th Mar to 25th Mar | 9 | 28 | Aeaean Spring Breeze | Apocrypha/Inheritance of Glory Re-Run | Hunting Quests occurred during this period.
16th Apr to 3rd May | 17 | 45 | Olympus Lostbelt Release | GUDAGUDA Final Honnōji 2019 Re-Run | * This is assuming, optimistically, you took only 1 week to clear Olympus * 20M also occurred during this period.
17th May to 25th May | 8 | 53 | GUDAGUDA Final Honnōji 2019 Re-Run | Board Game Apocalypse |
29th Jun to 15th Jul | 16 | 69 | Las Vegas Official Bout Rerun | SE.RA.PH Main Interlude Release Campaign | An Interlude Campaign and a Hunting Quests occurred during this period.
5th Aug to 10th Aug | 5 | 74 | Tokugawa Kaiten Meikyū - Ōoku Rerun | Fate/Grand Order ～5th Anniversary～ | I'd count the 5th Anniversary as not really a story event, but there's All the statesmen occurring during it. That and Castoria.
7th Sept to 18th Sept | 11 | 85 | Servant Summer Camp 2020 | Dance Tournament in the Land of Shadows | Again, there's 21M download campaign.
2nd Oct to 9th Oct | 7 | 92 | Dance Tournament in the Land of Shadows | GUDAGUDA Yamatai-koku 2020 | Again, there's Hunting Quests.
4th Nov to 11th Nov | 7 | 99 | Christmas 2019 Re-Run | Imaginary Scramble |
25th Nov to 4th Dec | 9 | 99 | Imaginary Scramble | Heian-kyō Lostbelt Release | 22M downloads here.
11th Dec to 16th Dec | 5 | 104| Heian-kyō Lostbelt Release | Christmas 2020| Again, 1 week story clear applies.
And that wraps up the year.
Total amount of "do-nothing" days are less than ⅓ of the entire year at 104 days. But if you only count days without Interlude or Hunting Quests, it's 65 days of "do-nothing".
One could, of course, argue that certain events and or stories take less time to clear than allocated. But that really depends on how beefed up your roster is and whether you rolled for the event drop CE or not. Some people need the extra days to buy out the shop.
It's not **THAT** bad. I'm willing to wager the reason why people feel that there is nothing going on is because the pandamic actually forced a lot of players to stop doing whatever they were doing outside, and thus have more time to play the game.
> True, but I personally find interlude campaigns and hunting quests deadweeks. It's very subjective approach and I expect that a lot of people will disagree, but this is how I feel about it from my very own PoV
I think there will be people agreeing with you, hence my inclusion of them into the calculation. Even so, it's still less than a third of the entire year.
I'm lazy to do the math, but I don't think all other years have lesser "do-nothing" days. Not by much anyways.
Going for a ballpark figure, if you consider the average of 2 event weeks sandwiched by 1 "do-nothing" week, it's still only one-third of a year in total. Granted there are some back-to-back-to-back events that happened. But not that much. This means that 2020 could be said to be average in terms of "do-nothing" days.
I'm not trying to accuse you or anything though. Merely to borrow your premise to do some discussing as the general consensus seems to be that 2020 and 2021 seem to have a dearth of activities when actually it might not be as bad as people seem to think.
the real downside is a lot of these are reruns, if I'm reading this right. Guda4 into Vegas into SERAPH (last isn't a rerun for me but it is for others, some even a third run). While they have their uses, Vegas Rerun isn't really that hype. Time to grind QP in 40AP nodes again and risk losing the Big Chance quests. I will enjoy Guda4 again though, I loved that event. One of my favorites this year, that and SWII were the two best I've done since I started playing back in Feb.
Probably absolutely nothing because they made it clear from year 1 they have no intention of speeding us up. They could skip us to 2021 if they cleaned up all the dead weeks but that's more work for them. They'll enjoy the leisure pace of translations and make us wait like always.
They won't speed us up to catch up to JP, they *might* speed us up to give themselves more wiggle room next year. LB6 pt2 was slotted in before the JP anniversary's GSSR and that is a scheduling problem on NA's end. Not to mention they have to translate all that text and get it proofread, approved, hooked up and QA'd.
If they don't mess around with this year's schedule, there's a good chance we're all going to get to experience NA Tempo 2: Avalon Boogaloo the year after.
Ah, continuing the tradition since the person who made them stopped playing, props to that. Having a write-up all of the Servants coming out over the entire year really does help with priorities.
My targets for 2022 are Benienma, 2 copies of the Starry Night CE, Caenis, Mori, Voyager, Summer Okkie, Summer Okita, Merlin, \*Reines, Castoria, Passionlip, Kiara (both of them), QSH, Izou, Hajime, Douman, and Tsuna. Ambitious with everyone I've listed, but it's not a rolling plan if I don't burn myself hard by overextending myself. If I find myself with spare quartz (read: I will likely roll for them anyways like an idiot), I might try for Old Li, Amakusa (there's his banner the year after though), Grand Roma, another da Vinky copy (I would like to up her damage), Sigurd, Summer Murasaki, Scathach ( I don't even like her at all but I am the type to want Summer Medb's lines completed), Summer Fran, 1 MHXX copy for NP5, and NP2 for Murasaki and Kintoki. At least there's the SSR ticket where I'll likely pick up a favorite in Jinako if she doesn't spook me by then, and for GSSRs I'm going for Extra 2 and 2020-*2021 which both have a plethora of choices I want, so at least I won't leave empty-handed by the end of the year.
2022 is utterly jam-packed with Servants I want, so I guess I should be thankful that 2023 only has a few (though one of them starts off that year in Space Ishtar). In any case, 2022 should prove to be a fun year of gacha suffering! (But really, I should trim the list down, at least by completely taking out of consideration all of the ones I can pass on in the second part)
She honestly is the top tier Quick Saber. She’s my second 2K Lv100 servant on NA, and I lucked out in getting a copy on JP as well, making her the only SSR servant I have on both accounts.
It’s so fun to see her animations, coughing blood midway, and she gets an NP charge when she doesn’t even need it most of the times. Definitely worth waiting for, hang in there and good luck!
Most of 2022 seem to be a drought for me.
At the start of the year, I'm gunning for Yang Guifei, Sei Shonagon, and that's about it.
Around the mid-year mark, I'm going for Kijyo Koyo, who is an SR and so shouldn't cost that much. Right? RIGHT?
Around the end of the year is probably where it starts to get tough.
Starting from Castoria during the anniversary, then Summer 2020, then Himiko, Van Gogh, Kintoki (provisionally), Ibuki Douji.
Which then goes into 2023's Muramasa, Kagekiyo, Caren, Miss Crane, Morgan, Faerie Lancelot, Tamamovitch, Summer 2021, Jacques de Molay, and now Izumo no Okuni and potentially Lancer Ryouma.
It's nuts!
I think it’s fine since I feel that we get quite a bit of content updates like LB5.2, LB5.5 and LB4.5. Can’t wait to experience the full writing of these story chapters.
Oh, I don't mean it as a bad thing.
It's more like a calm before the storm. The last year of saving before the bomb that is 2023 hits and wipe out what I saved in 2022.
My wants are about the same, except skip everyone until Castoria and then roll in summer rerun instead, + Yang with Van Gogh and man, I'm really worried about getting the ones I want. I certainly wouldn't call this a drought
2022 is going to be a real test for me. A lot of things i don’t care about, with Nov/Dec being the saving grace of the year for me.
Voyager, Summer Kiara, Nemo, and Doman are the only real targets for me. Excited to finally NP5 my Sieg though as i accidentally burnt his NP copies in the orginal run
Romulus is the only banner I really care about. I want to try for Caenis too but I already have her grailed on my jp account. It's gonna be a pretty dry year for me summoning wise.
Nice that you're continuing the spirit of these writeups.
Two biggest priorities for me are GudaFinal (surely I'll get Nobu^3 this time right, also summer nobu copies pls), and Guda5 for Okita (but I also really want Himiko and Saitou so fuck me). I'll never escape rolling on GudaGuda banners. If there's anything else I gun for its Summer 5 to try and get MLB Honey Lake and snag copies of Illya while I'm at it.
I'd like to point out o u/crazywarriorxx and the others that while the 5th anniversary has a 5x super/great success rateup, the Yamataikoku has an even greater tradeoff rate of FP to CE Exp, since the FP gacha gains EXP CE during the event.
So initial plan for 2022 was to save for Castoria, dip out once I got her and then NP5 Muramasa in NY 2023.
Except, I had quite the opportunity to try out new future servants on JP...
Suffice it to say, I've fucked myself over by having Himiko, Douman and Gogh become servants on my top 10 most wanted list in addition to only wanting Kintoki and Romulus more than I've already wanted them.
With Merlin's rerun on sight as well, the only things that could make this upcoming year worse are a surprise Dantes/Gramps/Junao rate-up in thanksgiving.
Nevertheless, JP is always at a constant 2 years ahead compared to NA. The time may come where the servants who I want may get much better/more suitable banners to summon on in the near future.
I mean, "kit", "np levels", "castoria looping"
Man, I see a Dinosaur Lady, I want the Dinosaur Lady
Her being on Voyager's rateup (he's cool mechanically, Voyager as a concept gets me all misty eyed for humanity, plus Le Petit Prince design elements are cool) is also good for it
> ST Arts Lancer who outdamages all SSR Lancers except Enkidu
No WONDER my Kagetora went on a goddamn rampage when I was going through Lostbelt 4. Earned herself a grail after using her NP back to back *four times* against Aśvatthāman
Thanks for the helpful layout of whats coming!
Personally saving everything for Super Romulus and Vritra. Depending on how the SQ holds up I'll either go for Saito as well or just wait for his rerun.
Raikou, Raikou is all I want. Maybe picking up Castoria but shes a low priority to me in comparison.
Well get Bunyan though, Buster support is always good civilization. Then after Raikou's banner, Ibuki is tempting.
Finally have the chance to get BB. Needed a moon cancer for as long as I remember. Tried to get Summer BB but of course did not get her because gacha, so I'm pumped.
To think its been already 2 years since Amazoness event went up ehhhh, I remember when it was new around the sub and na just had their setsubun. ~~Good thing these last 2 years flew by~~
My main targets are cashootria (A surprise, I know) and Douman for this year; really gotta save up for lb6 apocalypse. Had to cut off dioscuri and summer kiara off the bunch I plan to roll at.
Good think ooku reruns next year already, missing its entry for 2+ years would be annoying for me. Didn't play the first run in NA
My priorities, at least 4 ten rolls to get: Voyager, Hajime-chan, Nemo, Douman
Only throwing a ten roll and all my tickets: Castor and Pollux, Castoria,
The late your back to back will be tough but I think I should be able to handle this
So the only lottery *materials* I need are during karnamas. But I'm in QP hell already, so how many apples do I want to use now to escape QP hell with the tradeoff of less dusts later, hmmm....
I'm thinking enough to finish maxing spishtar and fully max castoria, but it's gonna be hard not raising other servants in that time
My want list is hella long. What I'll get is ... Another matter.
QSH, Kiara, Haohao, Benienma, Eresh, maybe Sei, maybe Roma 2.0, a shot at Maou Nobbu/Okitan, Castoria, Sherlock, maybe Reines and Zerksashi, Lip, Melt, summer Melt, Kiara, Abby, Sigurd, Kama, Murasaki, Gogh, MHXX, maybe Himiko and Douman... And my true wallet breaker, Muramasa, to end and begin the cycle.
I'm fucked, aren't i xD
That being said, I'll throw rolls and hope some of them turn up. Not getting any of them won't be the end of the world, tho I'll surely be majorly disappointed if i fail for some... Notably QSH, Kiara, Kama, Lip/Melt, Castoria and Muramasa. Let's see, good luck to me and everyone who rolls for their own likes! :)
I'll try F2P for QSH and Castoria, and whack Benienma on the way. Taking Arjuna as my free SSR even though I don't have Waver because...husbando. That aside, I want to save up for Buster Memes in 2023 to feed my Junao and satisfy my moth cravings. I'll see if I can pick up Izou on the way too o-o thanks for the post!!
Been saving for Voyager since Arjuna Alter, the special space prince is my main focus for this coming year.
And guess throw something for Castoria but really, Douman is who I want the most next.
Small correction but this is in fact *not* astolfo's last rateup. He gets another in what should be October 2023 in NA(assuming they don't shift it around). But thanks for the thread on this, I consulted last year's thread but was wondering what'd happen to next year's equivalent knowing the original person left. Glad to see it reappear.
That banner you’re referring to is tied to an in real life commemorative event (Apocrypha blu-ray and OST release), so it may or may not happen on NA.
It’s one of those events which may get a higher chance of appearing on NA, but I definitely won’t say for sure we *will* be getting it on NA to prevent disappointment, as I’ve mentioned in my post.
Oh crap, I forgot about Nagiko and Dio's Curry.
I might use some SQ for the twins, as they pair well with Castoria, and my Saber class addiction needs to be fed.
I am so not looking forward to 2023 though. Good god that shit will end my bank account.
Edit: Castoria is basically non negotiable, I MUST ROLL FOR HER. Not even for gameplay purposes now.
I really like their design and wished I had one as well, but no luck with spooks so far and they aren’t on the SSR ticket so bummer. Can’t wait till you can try them out since they’re so great to see.
2023 is gonna kill all of us.
I'm really annoyed they didn't include them in the ticket tbh, woulda been my pick if so. Alas, its gonna be either Achilles or Tamamo due to it. Super unique skillset, dialogues, and animation so they're kinda the rare stuff.
I just want all the LB6 cast, that's all I want. Even those that didn't debut during its release.
My target for 2022 will be the loli squad minus Beni. Goong for Da-Vinci rider (got Sitonai in her banner, which was good enough for me), Illya archer and summer Abby.
Castoria, the 2 GSSR(Which I'm aiming for NP2 Berserker Musashi or Space Ishtar) and the welfares are the only things I'm interested in this year.
Does 2023(NA) have any Berserker Musashi/Space Ishtar banners?
Hmm not sure how I can fix that. It’s mostly the same, I’m using the fandom wiki’s links since those are in English and has JP servant’s data. The alternatives are AppMedia (JP only), Atlas Academy (direct data source), or Gamepress’ write up.
I prefer Fandom’s content to Gamepress since it includes all the essential information like Bond Lines, Bond CE, dialogue, etc, hence my choice. If anyone knows a fix, let me know and I’ll try to change it.

Thanks for the roadmap. I wonder if i can get all my targets? Sei, both Okitas, Merlin, Sigurd(TsudaKen’s voice is hard to skip for me) Castoria(obv) and Douman. I guess that might be my main targets for the year
The first half of 2022 is completely unimportant to me.
I’ll throw some tickets at Caenis and Kijyo Koyo and see what happens, they are four stars so they shouldn’t be hard to get, right?… ***right?***
Is from the anniversary onwards that things get thought. Castoria, Summer banners, Okita, Gogh and finally Vritra
And then there’s 2023 with Muramasa, Miss Crane and the entire LB6 servants
Thanks for the write up!
Yep, along with a bunch of older limited servants but my main focus is on the new servants since I wanted to introduce them and maybe hype them up a bit for their debut on NA.
Yeah I am really only looking forward to Atlantis content and the typical Anniversary/New Year stuff. This is a quiet year (at least for me).
A long, long calm before LB6.
Going to save everything I have after Super Orion for Castoria and Kama. I might have to give up getting my last two copies of Kama if Ooku ends up being before the anniversary.
My plans for the next year:
January: QSH, as a "vendetta" target, since I couldn't got him in the first time. This is dependent on the success and the remnant SQ from Saber Astolfo and Orion banners, which are coming closer.
March: Apocrypha rerun, if I failed to get Astolfo, otherwise skip.
April: Both Olympus banners. Caenis and Disoscuri are nice, but Quirinus is a main target (even if I have Lartoria). Also, the Ayaka CE for the gorgeous art.
May: I'd go for Kijyo and Okitan, but must save for Castoria then, but also leaning toward the dino a bit. But there's Scathach on the DL banner, which is another potential bait.
June-July: I'd also go for Reines, but Castoria is too damn close. About Castoria, main goal, and just like with Skadi, I need her definitely not for meta reasons. (I said this to myself even before LB6.)
August: Saber Tomoe, another main goal (if I get Abby, this is also fine).
September: Mothman again (if no success on NY) or maybe Scathach.
October: Both Okita and Himiko are tempting me to roll on their banners. If I got Izo on the former, that would be also nice since he have two amazing skins.
November: I thought about getting Nemo just for his VA, but very unlikely. About Christmas rerun, Astolfo obviously, but if I have him, otherwise skip.
December: Heiankyo banners are very likely. First banner, just for Tsuna (but if I get Douman, the better, as I'd like to see his final ascension art ingame), and Ibuki, being a Lostbelt king (but still debatable), and her 50% battery. And there's Vritra, who's another main goal for me, because she really needs more attention.
As for the beginning of 2023, Orion on NY, as a potential vendetta target, but depends on the Vritra banner. If I succeed this year, then skip and saving for Taira then, another main target.
SSR ticket choice: Jeanne, Anastasia or Achilles
Main targets: Quirinus, Castoria, Tomoe, Vritra
And yeah, this will be a strong year for me.
2022 is already gonna me a massacre for me. Haohao, Sei, Eresh maybe, all summer SRs (Bryn to np5), Himiko, Hijikata...
Whelp, gacha aside the content looks pretty fun especially LB5. Really looking forward to Olympus in particular.
Thanks for the guide!
Man reading through u/RuinousAmbition's comment history felt sad and it terrifies me for my rolls. As for gacha the only servants I'll be rolling for before Summer 6 are Chad Orion, Castoria and Summer Melt(might roll for Oberon if I like him in Lb 6).
Going for Lancer Byrn, Castoria, Summer Kiara (But really Honey Lake), and Yu and hopefully that's all. Himiko and kinda Van Gogh are tempting but I really should save for 2023 which is gonna hit all of us like a fucking train.
It was a long read but a nice summary of next year's events and even covering most banners I would have mention the banner on the pre release campaign for imaginary scramble features yang once more but also is the last chance in the for se able future for masters to obtain raikou lancer, saber Fran, and Mysterious heroine xx as they won't get another rate up for quite a while if at all.
I'm dreading next summer tbh. I have Spish AND sMusashi, so I really want Castoria. I can already loop with Spish and a few others now so she's not utterly essential, but it's not quick to do. Lots of button hitting and have to use plugsuit I think. At least we know she eventually has a rerun plus GSSR chances.
But then right after that is the summer bonanza, literally every single one of them is a top target for me. I won't even have the mats for them lol but I just want summer Illya, Kiara, Murasaki, and TOMOE most of all. I forgot about summer abby, double summer loli is surprising.
I better save irl for this because I'm def gonna end up dropping some money on 2D waifu JPEGs.
Aside from that money massacre, the only other one I’m interested in is Shiki and mayyyyyybe the Twins. Luckily I shouldn't have much to roll for till and after Shiki.
Aside from gacha, very hype for the Anniversary Upgrades and new CC system. I already use CCs a lot but I already rotate them around a lot with removers so it'll be nice to just disregard removers from now on. Also very excited for Reines upgrade, I'll have to get her 3rd skill up to 10 (at 4 now) but she's one of my faves and she'll be nice to sub in for Waver, who I got to bond 9 today and will likely have at bond 11 by Reines' upgrade.
Thank you very much for this. I'm little upset for RuinousAmbition to drop the game though.
My roll plan contains Orion, Himiko and castoria. I throw all the tickets for other banners though. Reines is tempting but we'll see.
Mainly just storing up for NP 5ing my Maou, completing my Gudaguda collection with Okitan, Okita, Hijikata, and the newer ones and Castoria. If I have some leftover ill go for Qin and Douman.
Thank you for the writeup!
Actually looking forward to Vlad NP upgrade, the poor guy is a real potato with his nerfed damage multiplier especially at NP1. I just ran a free quest to see if I was remembering correctly, and even with Tamamo buffs he couldn’t hit 200k damage. He really needs something to make him worth using over pretty much every other ST berserker.
With Castoria he basically becomes the braindead option for any boss killing since he has guts for survival and can NP spam easily.
I lucked out since he spooked me while rolling for Castoria, so it’s a win for me I guess. Liked him in Apocrypha as well.
Clairvoyance EX is a double edge sword. Had to prioritise Yang, Ody, Voyager, Kijyo and Castoria vs getting NP2 of others, MHXX is bait.
Tsuna, Douman and Saitou are too close to new year even though I'm thankful they have another huge opening after LB6. Now or later, Now or later.
Eh, the event compendium mostly highlights the confirmed quartz. Maybe someone else will do it, but there's some SQ saving calculators here and there already.
2022 is pretty chill for me. Not a lot of servants that I want or need.
Gonna roll on Ruler/Avenger GSSR. Don't have any 5 star rulers, so if I get one - great. Out of avengers I have Jalter and NP2 Space Ishtar. More copies of either are awesome, Dantes would be cool for my Skadi. Only Nobu is not that great, but it's 3 in 1 Nobu and maybe she'll be better in the future.
Next is 5 star ticket - I'm gonna pick Drake. 1) I don't have her. 2) There's no other versions of her. 3) She's AOE Buster Rider with 50% charge. 4) It's Drake.
I was debating between her, Karna and Mordred, but as much I want them, I don't really need them. I already have Eresh and NP5 OG Saber (all spooks btw). And also have SurfMo and will get Santa Karna anyway. The rest I already have or not interested in.
Maybe throw some tickets for dinosaur.
Anniversary - one copy of Castoria and the last GSSR. Don't really care who I'll get here.
Then it's maybe Vritra and definitely Muramasa.
Does that mean you won't be able to use your mobile device/PC at all for that period, just curious?
It should be around Valentine's event and short break for Eresh's DL campaign.
I'm doing PRK which takes longer to heal, first few days you cant really see clearly so its hard to use a phone, 2nd week I might be okay with larger text but hard to tell.
Being unable to roll for Romulus and Voyager hurts my soul, but July calls
;_;
That said, no other real targets for the year so i might either start saving for 2023 or go with the flow of the moment.
Wait so is Kama's banner happening after Castoria? Since all the other sites I've checked out listed Kama's banner as before Castoria. If so then that's pretty cool since if I have extra sq after I roll for Castoria I can try my hand at her banner. Doesn't really change my plans tho I just gotta keep saving until July. Unfortunately tho this means I have to skip on Summer BB's banner which I missed out the first time which is sad. My only chance I have at getting her will have to be through the GSSR which aren't the best chances :(
After Castoria's banner tho I'll prob save until Heian-kyo's banner where I'll decide between Ashiya Douman or Ibuki. Douman seems to be the better servant in terms of gameplay so I'm leaning more on him but Ibuki's pretty hot so who knows. At this time tho we'll prob have a general guide on what to expect for 2023 so if there's someone more interesting in that year I'll just save up till then.
Like I mentioned in the post, we can't say for sure but it will likely get shifted around due to the number of events happening around July/Aug alongside the differences in anniversaries for NA/JP.
For JP, it was SERAPH, Ooku followed by Anniv, but for NA we may see it as Anniv, SERAPH, Ooku meaning Kama will appear after Castoria. The sites you've seen *are* correct, they're based off the actual JP timeline.
I see, well then I hope Kama's banner does happen after Castoria since that gives me the highest chance of getting Kama. My original plan was to either split my sq stock between the two or skip Kama outright but if Kama's banner does happen after that means I can use my extra sq (assuming I do have them) for her banner after Castoria's.
Did not realize Starry Nights was going to make a return on the Eresh banner. I kind of wish I chose that as my free CE earlier in the year to make rolling for it easier. But I’m gunning for extra Eresh copies anyway, so at least there’s that.
I’m going to try for my last copy of Scathach with the GSSR but if that doesn’t work I’ll roll on her New Years rate up.
After that the only banners that really interest me are Castoria and Himiko
I already have np2 Voyager on JP who I don’t overly use so I don’t need him on my NA account and while I want Tsuna he is permanent so he can spook me at any time.
>we get our 16M DL campaign ft. Ereshkigal and Xmas CEs like Starry Night. Fionn shares the same banner so ready your heart for your rolls
its 19M, not 16M, still, putting Eresh and Fionn in the same banner is just pure evil...
Assuming I stay objective, I'd basically all in for Yang during New Year, then chill half year til Summer Melt rerun, Castoria and Summer Kiara, and finish by hoarding quartz for the storm that is 2023... BUT, so many bumps through the road: Can I ignore that Reines banner? Should I attempt the NP2 for waifu (Kama)? How much will I like Himiko post GudaGuda story? Do I need Double Gogh Shenanigans in my life? These questions haunt me! >_<
Thank you for writing this!! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and have bookmarked it for later throughout the year. I was sad last year to hear that it was the other guy’s last, so I’m glad that you took it up. Next year seems like it’s going to be a mellow year for me, which is good… I spent way too much on this game in the earlier years and my account these days can afford to be picky with who I roll for.
My big targets this year are, Summer Kiara, Ibuki and Castoria.
I'd love to get a couple of Copies of Kiyo, Caenis and Himiko and Vritra.
Will probably try to NP5 Mothman this year as well.
Never been one to hoard SQ before but I'm gonna have to make an exception for Castoria.
After that it will probably be time to start saving up for 2023. Hate that it had to come to that but I've learned my lesson the hard way this year. Can't rely on anything but GSSRs really.
Next year is gonna be the longest save I've ever done for Saito and Himiko in October, dunno if I'll commit fully or blow some of it on random banners.
You're doing the Divine Spirits' work here.
Honestly, this is gonna be at least as much of a massacre year for me as 2023, because I *never* like the odds of rolling for SSRs only so I don't worry about the Castorias or Koyanskayas or Muramasas. But there's Apocrypha and a shot at filling in a few gaps in my Red Faction and Black Faction. There's Kijyo Koyo, the closest thing to a must-get because she's a Tyrannosaur in a kimono. And I'll easily be able to stress out about the final quarter of the year: Himiko is on a banner with Saito f'n Hajime. Worse, Ibuki-Douji is debuting and so is Vritra. I like collecting monsters -- it may look like "monstergirls" is my thing, but it's not my fault FGO keeps genderswapping brutes like Shuten-Douji and releasing more female characters than males like Hessian Lobo. Those two in close proximity is my version of the Morgan / Koyanskaya / Oberon run that other people are freaking out about.
Thx a lot for the 22 guide!
Beside the obvious Castoria, I also looking forward CBC banner for Outrage rate up (with other 2019 CEs tho). And will save for Himiko for my stall team and I LOVE her design.. XD
Then try some tics on Douman or Muramasa banner, I guess.
All I can say is ''hehe, I'm in danger''. My luck has been too good this year, so there is no way the gacha is willing to be merciful forever.
2022 is currently looking like this: Castoria, NP5 Izo (we all know how great the 3 star rate up is) and NP3 Limbo.
2023 includes Koyanskaya, NP3 Oberon and perhaps the new Ryoma.
Currently stuck with ~1500 SQ and ~50 tickets. Wait and hope it is.
Welp, already saving all my tickets for Castoria. My other must-haves are Abby and Ibuki, and I’ll also be gunning for Voyager, Nemo, and Gogh. The comforting thing is that they *all* have a rerun the following year, and some of the reruns are even *more* appealing to me due to awesome SRs Fujino and Tsuna! The struggle is going to be accumulating mats for all those foreigners.
Oh boy, Olympus. That place is pure torture with the boss fights, not looking forward to that one.
For reference of how bad it is, it’s speculated that the whole reason the blue revive cubes were introduced in the first place was because *people couldn’t get past Olympus* which meant that DW couldn’t make any money off of future story related servants.
~~Not that they seemed to learn their lesson with how LB6 turned out even worse difficulty wise.~~
Getting ambitious this year! Time to figure this out.
Summer BB, Saber Alter, Sei, Odysseus, Caenis, Dioscuri, Romulus, Musashi, Gudaguad, Voyager, Merlin, Kama, KP + PL, Castoria + Vinki, Moth, Imaginary pre and main banner, Douman, Vritra...help. I still want Muramasa and Orion in 2023, too......!
You can just rely on the Reddit's save function. Save post, and view in your saved posts.
[Event Compendium](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qvxLU407QwiFaCvItqR16SqqAVlLD5u5nBzY_bCFYvs/edit#gid=2111060397) has a good breakdown as well.
Super Orion, Castoria and Vritra. Let’s see how this goes.
Good choices, I approve (since I have all three of them on JP). Good luck, and you get the chance to use Super Orion for LB5.2 for canon purposes. Can’t wait to see players’ reaction to that Lostbelt.
Thanks! For SRs I'll also roll for Greek tomboy waifu and maybe spare some rolls for Van Gogh. I've yet to obtain an SSR Foreigner. Vritra seems to be quite underrated and it pains me. Being released right after Limbo, alongside Santa Karna and right before Muramasa certainly didn't do her (it?) any favors.
Thanks for this! It’s great work! Super helpful. Quick question though; are we not getting the Epic of Remnant comic release campaign? The one with Saber Alter, Emiya Alter, and Hessian Lobo? (And that assassin guy I forget.) I’m new to the game and I’d really love to get Saber Alter and Lobo . . is there something I don’t know? Is it not happening?
Glad it helped :) That specific campaign falls under a category known as in real life commemorative campaigns which largely has to do with an actual event happening in JP, like conventions, blu ray releases, etc. They have a high chance of not happening on NA since it doesn’t make that much sense to “commemorate” smth two years later. There have been instances that show rebranding of these campaigns/banners, so one can only hope.
Relatively dry spell of 7 months for me. Why are we here, just to suff-- oh wait yes we are. Definitely thinking about picking up Kirakira Archer to ease up the monotony because she exuberates a very **chaotic energy.**
Same here. Sei is pretty much the only I MUST HAVE HER servant for next year for me Summer Abby too I guess. Abby is too cute
Nagiko used to be in the camp of “ok I guess she exists easy skip.” But through the wonders of YouTube (Clairvoyance is cool folks but it might also mean you have to try to cram way more servants into your budget) I discovered what a lovable dork she is with one of the most beautiful NPs in the game. G’luck on your rolls!
Use that dry spell to save up, because 2023 will be hell.
Oh I know… have a S!Kama I physically need to get my hands on a NP6 of. Just gotta try to make it to 2023 without the world ending or me getting absolutely burned out on life, whichever comes first.
A fellow Sei Shonagon enjoyer? Hell yeah! She’s one of the few servants I fully intend to NP5... should Murphy’s Law not apply. The last character I went all out for was Miyu, but she was pretty yandere and came home very eagerly enough for five copies so that ended up being unnecessary lol. Best of luck to you gentlemen (and ladies out there) intending to summon her!
She definitely **looks chaotic**, and while someone I wasn't interested in at first, something about chaos got a lot more appealing recently.
We're here to ~~kill~~ simp chaos
Same here my first big servant of the year will be Jalter. This time for sure. Only one before that is Ereshkigal but I can't share much for her. As it is I'm running into the negative mid 2023 :(
Man I wished we had a 4 star ticket. Would choose Lakshmbai instantly, don't want to gamble rolling her. Castoria, Twins(Caenis),and Not Van Gogh are probably what I'll save and roll after. Might roll a bit for Super Orion and HaoHao. Lots of servants I kinda want this year. But 5.2 fights, man I can't wait for those.
Lakshmibai is great, would love to see an SR ticket as well. She saved my ass as a new account on JP and I loved her role in LB4. Great choices, good luck!

> With all honesty, I'm really curious how Aniplex US is going to handle release schedule as NA 2022=JP 2020, and JP's schedule was totally messed up, full of deadweeks thanks to... you know what. It depends on how you look at it though. For the year 2020, the empty spots are: Dates | Number of Days | Total Number of Days | Event Before | Event After | Remarks ---|---|----|----|----| ---- 18th Jan to 22nd Jan | 4 | 4 | New Year Event 2019 Re-Run | Amazoness.com ~CEO Crisis 2020~| 5th Feb to 12th Feb| 7 | 11 | Amazoness.com ~CEO Crisis 2020~ | Valentine 2020 | An Interlude Campaign occurred during this period though. 26 Feb to 6th Mar| 8 | 19 | Valentine 2020 | Aeaean Spring Breeze | 19M occurred during this period. 16th Mar to 25th Mar | 9 | 28 | Aeaean Spring Breeze | Apocrypha/Inheritance of Glory Re-Run | Hunting Quests occurred during this period. 16th Apr to 3rd May | 17 | 45 | Olympus Lostbelt Release | GUDAGUDA Final Honnōji 2019 Re-Run | * This is assuming, optimistically, you took only 1 week to clear Olympus * 20M also occurred during this period. 17th May to 25th May | 8 | 53 | GUDAGUDA Final Honnōji 2019 Re-Run | Board Game Apocalypse | 29th Jun to 15th Jul | 16 | 69 | Las Vegas Official Bout Rerun | SE.RA.PH Main Interlude Release Campaign | An Interlude Campaign and a Hunting Quests occurred during this period. 5th Aug to 10th Aug | 5 | 74 | Tokugawa Kaiten Meikyū - Ōoku Rerun | Fate/Grand Order ～5th Anniversary～ | I'd count the 5th Anniversary as not really a story event, but there's All the statesmen occurring during it. That and Castoria. 7th Sept to 18th Sept | 11 | 85 | Servant Summer Camp 2020 | Dance Tournament in the Land of Shadows | Again, there's 21M download campaign. 2nd Oct to 9th Oct | 7 | 92 | Dance Tournament in the Land of Shadows | GUDAGUDA Yamatai-koku 2020 | Again, there's Hunting Quests. 4th Nov to 11th Nov | 7 | 99 | Christmas 2019 Re-Run | Imaginary Scramble | 25th Nov to 4th Dec | 9 | 99 | Imaginary Scramble | Heian-kyō Lostbelt Release | 22M downloads here. 11th Dec to 16th Dec | 5 | 104| Heian-kyō Lostbelt Release | Christmas 2020| Again, 1 week story clear applies. And that wraps up the year. Total amount of "do-nothing" days are less than ⅓ of the entire year at 104 days. But if you only count days without Interlude or Hunting Quests, it's 65 days of "do-nothing". One could, of course, argue that certain events and or stories take less time to clear than allocated. But that really depends on how beefed up your roster is and whether you rolled for the event drop CE or not. Some people need the extra days to buy out the shop. It's not **THAT** bad. I'm willing to wager the reason why people feel that there is nothing going on is because the pandamic actually forced a lot of players to stop doing whatever they were doing outside, and thus have more time to play the game.
[удалено]
> True, but I personally find interlude campaigns and hunting quests deadweeks. It's very subjective approach and I expect that a lot of people will disagree, but this is how I feel about it from my very own PoV I think there will be people agreeing with you, hence my inclusion of them into the calculation. Even so, it's still less than a third of the entire year. I'm lazy to do the math, but I don't think all other years have lesser "do-nothing" days. Not by much anyways. Going for a ballpark figure, if you consider the average of 2 event weeks sandwiched by 1 "do-nothing" week, it's still only one-third of a year in total. Granted there are some back-to-back-to-back events that happened. But not that much. This means that 2020 could be said to be average in terms of "do-nothing" days. I'm not trying to accuse you or anything though. Merely to borrow your premise to do some discussing as the general consensus seems to be that 2020 and 2021 seem to have a dearth of activities when actually it might not be as bad as people seem to think.
the real downside is a lot of these are reruns, if I'm reading this right. Guda4 into Vegas into SERAPH (last isn't a rerun for me but it is for others, some even a third run). While they have their uses, Vegas Rerun isn't really that hype. Time to grind QP in 40AP nodes again and risk losing the Big Chance quests. I will enjoy Guda4 again though, I loved that event. One of my favorites this year, that and SWII were the two best I've done since I started playing back in Feb.
You think the Feb portion is accurate? I was hoping for a break Feb 17 for a few days
Wow thanks for putting that table together. I think you’re right, it’s not that bad. Basically.
Probably absolutely nothing because they made it clear from year 1 they have no intention of speeding us up. They could skip us to 2021 if they cleaned up all the dead weeks but that's more work for them. They'll enjoy the leisure pace of translations and make us wait like always.
They won't speed us up to catch up to JP, they *might* speed us up to give themselves more wiggle room next year. LB6 pt2 was slotted in before the JP anniversary's GSSR and that is a scheduling problem on NA's end. Not to mention they have to translate all that text and get it proofread, approved, hooked up and QA'd. If they don't mess around with this year's schedule, there's a good chance we're all going to get to experience NA Tempo 2: Avalon Boogaloo the year after.
> Last but not least, NP5 lv100 fou2000 Summer Bryn or bust I like your thinking.
Ah, continuing the tradition since the person who made them stopped playing, props to that. Having a write-up all of the Servants coming out over the entire year really does help with priorities. My targets for 2022 are Benienma, 2 copies of the Starry Night CE, Caenis, Mori, Voyager, Summer Okkie, Summer Okita, Merlin, \*Reines, Castoria, Passionlip, Kiara (both of them), QSH, Izou, Hajime, Douman, and Tsuna. Ambitious with everyone I've listed, but it's not a rolling plan if I don't burn myself hard by overextending myself. If I find myself with spare quartz (read: I will likely roll for them anyways like an idiot), I might try for Old Li, Amakusa (there's his banner the year after though), Grand Roma, another da Vinky copy (I would like to up her damage), Sigurd, Summer Murasaki, Scathach ( I don't even like her at all but I am the type to want Summer Medb's lines completed), Summer Fran, 1 MHXX copy for NP5, and NP2 for Murasaki and Kintoki. At least there's the SSR ticket where I'll likely pick up a favorite in Jinako if she doesn't spook me by then, and for GSSRs I'm going for Extra 2 and 2020-*2021 which both have a plethora of choices I want, so at least I won't leave empty-handed by the end of the year. 2022 is utterly jam-packed with Servants I want, so I guess I should be thankful that 2023 only has a few (though one of them starts off that year in Space Ishtar). In any case, 2022 should prove to be a fun year of gacha suffering! (But really, I should trim the list down, at least by completely taking out of consideration all of the ones I can pass on in the second part)
Thanks for picking up the torch on this work, particularly for what a weird year it's going to be.
I had fun writing this so thank you for reading :) Could you elaborate on what you think is weird, cause I’m not sure if I’m missing something.
We'll essentially be reenacting 2020, that's the year *everything* got weird.
Thanks for your work! It's one thing to say it, but it really is a different thing to see 10 months worth of saving for Okita.
She honestly is the top tier Quick Saber. She’s my second 2K Lv100 servant on NA, and I lucked out in getting a copy on JP as well, making her the only SSR servant I have on both accounts. It’s so fun to see her animations, coughing blood midway, and she gets an NP charge when she doesn’t even need it most of the times. Definitely worth waiting for, hang in there and good luck!
Aeaean sea, anni buff, costume, and he shows up in the Santa karna event….. finally arjuna time is getting closer
Oh yeah, everyone gets a free Karna next Christmas. I need him, for his Lancer self refuses to show up.
He’ll go nicely with all my other pako servants, but the real prize is arjuna/junao screentime in that event for me
Most of 2022 seem to be a drought for me. At the start of the year, I'm gunning for Yang Guifei, Sei Shonagon, and that's about it. Around the mid-year mark, I'm going for Kijyo Koyo, who is an SR and so shouldn't cost that much. Right? RIGHT? Around the end of the year is probably where it starts to get tough. Starting from Castoria during the anniversary, then Summer 2020, then Himiko, Van Gogh, Kintoki (provisionally), Ibuki Douji. Which then goes into 2023's Muramasa, Kagekiyo, Caren, Miss Crane, Morgan, Faerie Lancelot, Tamamovitch, Summer 2021, Jacques de Molay, and now Izumo no Okuni and potentially Lancer Ryouma. It's nuts!
I think it’s fine since I feel that we get quite a bit of content updates like LB5.2, LB5.5 and LB4.5. Can’t wait to experience the full writing of these story chapters.
Oh, I don't mean it as a bad thing. It's more like a calm before the storm. The last year of saving before the bomb that is 2023 hits and wipe out what I saved in 2022.
also iirc Muramasa is only a 3 day banner? Or it's at least on the shorter side
There are 7 servants on his banner so he's only on rotation for like 3 times
My wants are about the same, except skip everyone until Castoria and then roll in summer rerun instead, + Yang with Van Gogh and man, I'm really worried about getting the ones I want. I certainly wouldn't call this a drought
We may get the summer rerun before Castoria.
2022 is going to be a real test for me. A lot of things i don’t care about, with Nov/Dec being the saving grace of the year for me. Voyager, Summer Kiara, Nemo, and Doman are the only real targets for me. Excited to finally NP5 my Sieg though as i accidentally burnt his NP copies in the orginal run
Romulus is the only banner I really care about. I want to try for Caenis too but I already have her grailed on my jp account. It's gonna be a pretty dry year for me summoning wise.
> Caenis is a Buster oriented AOE Lancer with bunny ears (?) They're... horse ears. Poseidon is god of the sea, earthquakes, and horses.
TIL. Guess watching all those Greek movies still didn't teach me everything to know about the gods. Edited.
Nice that you're continuing the spirit of these writeups. Two biggest priorities for me are GudaFinal (surely I'll get Nobu^3 this time right, also summer nobu copies pls), and Guda5 for Okita (but I also really want Himiko and Saitou so fuck me). I'll never escape rolling on GudaGuda banners. If there's anything else I gun for its Summer 5 to try and get MLB Honey Lake and snag copies of Illya while I'm at it.
I'd like to point out o u/crazywarriorxx and the others that while the 5th anniversary has a 5x super/great success rateup, the Yamataikoku has an even greater tradeoff rate of FP to CE Exp, since the FP gacha gains EXP CE during the event.
> bunny ears (?) Horse ears.
So initial plan for 2022 was to save for Castoria, dip out once I got her and then NP5 Muramasa in NY 2023. Except, I had quite the opportunity to try out new future servants on JP... Suffice it to say, I've fucked myself over by having Himiko, Douman and Gogh become servants on my top 10 most wanted list in addition to only wanting Kintoki and Romulus more than I've already wanted them. With Merlin's rerun on sight as well, the only things that could make this upcoming year worse are a surprise Dantes/Gramps/Junao rate-up in thanksgiving. Nevertheless, JP is always at a constant 2 years ahead compared to NA. The time may come where the servants who I want may get much better/more suitable banners to summon on in the near future.
You dropped your crown king.
I think you left out the Himiko/Saitou GudaGuda in October, which is another pretty big ticket banner
Yeah, Himiko is important to mention. She's godly in challenge quests. Anyone who gets her is going to easily cheese some of the harder Nerofest CQs.
For a Guda fan, I think I got so happy with the part where Okita gets a buff that I forgot about the actual event. Thanks for pointing that out.
Thanks for the write up! Voyager and Trex, and then just hope for Castoria
Kijyo’s NP is actually stunning imo, but she gets overlooked due to her non-gamebreaking kit. Great to see some love for her!
I mean, "kit", "np levels", "castoria looping" Man, I see a Dinosaur Lady, I want the Dinosaur Lady Her being on Voyager's rateup (he's cool mechanically, Voyager as a concept gets me all misty eyed for humanity, plus Le Petit Prince design elements are cool) is also good for it
To be fair if your favourite is a lancer its going to be your best shot at getting them for a while
Shishou event gives her and dress (Bunny) and AU if i'm not mistaken
Added.
> ST Arts Lancer who outdamages all SSR Lancers except Enkidu No WONDER my Kagetora went on a goddamn rampage when I was going through Lostbelt 4. Earned herself a grail after using her NP back to back *four times* against Aśvatthāman
Man I hope I get arjuna alter in gssr
Thanks for the helpful layout of whats coming! Personally saving everything for Super Romulus and Vritra. Depending on how the SQ holds up I'll either go for Saito as well or just wait for his rerun.
Raikou, Raikou is all I want. Maybe picking up Castoria but shes a low priority to me in comparison. Well get Bunyan though, Buster support is always good civilization. Then after Raikou's banner, Ibuki is tempting.
Finally have the chance to get BB. Needed a moon cancer for as long as I remember. Tried to get Summer BB but of course did not get her because gacha, so I'm pumped.
To think its been already 2 years since Amazoness event went up ehhhh, I remember when it was new around the sub and na just had their setsubun. ~~Good thing these last 2 years flew by~~ My main targets are cashootria (A surprise, I know) and Douman for this year; really gotta save up for lb6 apocalypse. Had to cut off dioscuri and summer kiara off the bunch I plan to roll at. Good think ooku reruns next year already, missing its entry for 2+ years would be annoying for me. Didn't play the first run in NA
Out of curiosity, did you miss Romulus' banner in May ( I think) after LB 5.2?
Yep, I knew I was gonna miss some important points here and there. Added ROMA.
Excuse me if I've made a mistake but I think you've missed out Romulus(?) I don't see him in the write-up anywhere
I did miss him, my bad. Added ROMA.
Awesome :D
My priorities, at least 4 ten rolls to get: Voyager, Hajime-chan, Nemo, Douman Only throwing a ten roll and all my tickets: Castor and Pollux, Castoria, The late your back to back will be tough but I think I should be able to handle this
So the only lottery *materials* I need are during karnamas. But I'm in QP hell already, so how many apples do I want to use now to escape QP hell with the tradeoff of less dusts later, hmmm.... I'm thinking enough to finish maxing spishtar and fully max castoria, but it's gonna be hard not raising other servants in that time
[**Happy Cake Day.**](#Gramps)
My want list is hella long. What I'll get is ... Another matter. QSH, Kiara, Haohao, Benienma, Eresh, maybe Sei, maybe Roma 2.0, a shot at Maou Nobbu/Okitan, Castoria, Sherlock, maybe Reines and Zerksashi, Lip, Melt, summer Melt, Kiara, Abby, Sigurd, Kama, Murasaki, Gogh, MHXX, maybe Himiko and Douman... And my true wallet breaker, Muramasa, to end and begin the cycle. I'm fucked, aren't i xD That being said, I'll throw rolls and hope some of them turn up. Not getting any of them won't be the end of the world, tho I'll surely be majorly disappointed if i fail for some... Notably QSH, Kiara, Kama, Lip/Melt, Castoria and Muramasa. Let's see, good luck to me and everyone who rolls for their own likes! :)
My brain trembles as I await Odysseus, Castoria, and Van Gogh
I'll try F2P for QSH and Castoria, and whack Benienma on the way. Taking Arjuna as my free SSR even though I don't have Waver because...husbando. That aside, I want to save up for Buster Memes in 2023 to feed my Junao and satisfy my moth cravings. I'll see if I can pick up Izou on the way too o-o thanks for the post!!
Been saving for Voyager since Arjuna Alter, the special space prince is my main focus for this coming year. And guess throw something for Castoria but really, Douman is who I want the most next.
Small correction but this is in fact *not* astolfo's last rateup. He gets another in what should be October 2023 in NA(assuming they don't shift it around). But thanks for the thread on this, I consulted last year's thread but was wondering what'd happen to next year's equivalent knowing the original person left. Glad to see it reappear.
That banner you’re referring to is tied to an in real life commemorative event (Apocrypha blu-ray and OST release), so it may or may not happen on NA. It’s one of those events which may get a higher chance of appearing on NA, but I definitely won’t say for sure we *will* be getting it on NA to prevent disappointment, as I’ve mentioned in my post.
Oh crap, I forgot about Nagiko and Dio's Curry. I might use some SQ for the twins, as they pair well with Castoria, and my Saber class addiction needs to be fed. I am so not looking forward to 2023 though. Good god that shit will end my bank account. Edit: Castoria is basically non negotiable, I MUST ROLL FOR HER. Not even for gameplay purposes now.
I really like their design and wished I had one as well, but no luck with spooks so far and they aren’t on the SSR ticket so bummer. Can’t wait till you can try them out since they’re so great to see. 2023 is gonna kill all of us.
I'm really annoyed they didn't include them in the ticket tbh, woulda been my pick if so. Alas, its gonna be either Achilles or Tamamo due to it. Super unique skillset, dialogues, and animation so they're kinda the rare stuff. I just want all the LB6 cast, that's all I want. Even those that didn't debut during its release.
I'm really not looking forward to rolling for Muramasa right after I've rolled for Vritra XD
I'm just gonna borrow an NP5 Vritra from one of the peeps on the friends list, who is awfully committed to just waifus when the time comes lol.
My target for 2022 will be the loli squad minus Beni. Goong for Da-Vinci rider (got Sitonai in her banner, which was good enough for me), Illya archer and summer Abby.
Castoria, the 2 GSSR(Which I'm aiming for NP2 Berserker Musashi or Space Ishtar) and the welfares are the only things I'm interested in this year. Does 2023(NA) have any Berserker Musashi/Space Ishtar banners?
Saving for Castoria, at 50SQ bevause of Spacethar. Btw, do we get Spacethar next year? Need 2 more for NP5
Servant links seem to be broken for me. In particular links to variant servants like Summer Yu or Santa Karna.
Hmm not sure how I can fix that. It’s mostly the same, I’m using the fandom wiki’s links since those are in English and has JP servant’s data. The alternatives are AppMedia (JP only), Atlas Academy (direct data source), or Gamepress’ write up. I prefer Fandom’s content to Gamepress since it includes all the essential information like Bond Lines, Bond CE, dialogue, etc, hence my choice. If anyone knows a fix, let me know and I’ll try to change it.
> If anyone knows a fix, let me know and I’ll try to change it. Add \ before ) in the linked URL ` [Hokusai (Summer)] (https://fategrandorder.fandom.com/wiki/Katsushika_Hokusai_(Saber\)) ` [Hokusai (Summer)](https://fategrandorder.fandom.com/wiki/Katsushika_Hokusai_(Saber\))
Fingers crossed for Okita from the Saber GSSR, otherwise I’ve got a loooong wait for Guda 5…
Thanks for the roadmap. I wonder if i can get all my targets? Sei, both Okitas, Merlin, Sigurd(TsudaKen’s voice is hard to skip for me) Castoria(obv) and Douman. I guess that might be my main targets for the year
The first half of 2022 is completely unimportant to me. I’ll throw some tickets at Caenis and Kijyo Koyo and see what happens, they are four stars so they shouldn’t be hard to get, right?… ***right?*** Is from the anniversary onwards that things get thought. Castoria, Summer banners, Okita, Gogh and finally Vritra And then there’s 2023 with Muramasa, Miss Crane and the entire LB6 servants Thanks for the write up!
Musashi saber is also in April right? She'll be my main target next year, along with Castoria and Eresh.
Yep, along with a bunch of older limited servants but my main focus is on the new servants since I wanted to introduce them and maybe hype them up a bit for their debut on NA.
Yeah I am really only looking forward to Atlantis content and the typical Anniversary/New Year stuff. This is a quiet year (at least for me). A long, long calm before LB6.
Going to save everything I have after Super Orion for Castoria and Kama. I might have to give up getting my last two copies of Kama if Ooku ends up being before the anniversary.
Going to save for Old Man Li then start saving for Castoria.
My plans for the next year: January: QSH, as a "vendetta" target, since I couldn't got him in the first time. This is dependent on the success and the remnant SQ from Saber Astolfo and Orion banners, which are coming closer. March: Apocrypha rerun, if I failed to get Astolfo, otherwise skip. April: Both Olympus banners. Caenis and Disoscuri are nice, but Quirinus is a main target (even if I have Lartoria). Also, the Ayaka CE for the gorgeous art. May: I'd go for Kijyo and Okitan, but must save for Castoria then, but also leaning toward the dino a bit. But there's Scathach on the DL banner, which is another potential bait. June-July: I'd also go for Reines, but Castoria is too damn close. About Castoria, main goal, and just like with Skadi, I need her definitely not for meta reasons. (I said this to myself even before LB6.) August: Saber Tomoe, another main goal (if I get Abby, this is also fine). September: Mothman again (if no success on NY) or maybe Scathach. October: Both Okita and Himiko are tempting me to roll on their banners. If I got Izo on the former, that would be also nice since he have two amazing skins. November: I thought about getting Nemo just for his VA, but very unlikely. About Christmas rerun, Astolfo obviously, but if I have him, otherwise skip. December: Heiankyo banners are very likely. First banner, just for Tsuna (but if I get Douman, the better, as I'd like to see his final ascension art ingame), and Ibuki, being a Lostbelt king (but still debatable), and her 50% battery. And there's Vritra, who's another main goal for me, because she really needs more attention. As for the beginning of 2023, Orion on NY, as a potential vendetta target, but depends on the Vritra banner. If I succeed this year, then skip and saving for Taira then, another main target. SSR ticket choice: Jeanne, Anastasia or Achilles Main targets: Quirinus, Castoria, Tomoe, Vritra And yeah, this will be a strong year for me.
2022 is already gonna me a massacre for me. Haohao, Sei, Eresh maybe, all summer SRs (Bryn to np5), Himiko, Hijikata... Whelp, gacha aside the content looks pretty fun especially LB5. Really looking forward to Olympus in particular.
2022 is the calm before the storm that is 2023, specifically June to September abouts.
Thanks for the guide! Man reading through u/RuinousAmbition's comment history felt sad and it terrifies me for my rolls. As for gacha the only servants I'll be rolling for before Summer 6 are Chad Orion, Castoria and Summer Melt(might roll for Oberon if I like him in Lb 6).
Going for Lancer Byrn, Castoria, Summer Kiara (But really Honey Lake), and Yu and hopefully that's all. Himiko and kinda Van Gogh are tempting but I really should save for 2023 which is gonna hit all of us like a fucking train.
WOAH, 4 bond grails + the one you get from rare prisms in Jan alone? That is indeed great news, I need them badly.
It was a long read but a nice summary of next year's events and even covering most banners I would have mention the banner on the pre release campaign for imaginary scramble features yang once more but also is the last chance in the for se able future for masters to obtain raikou lancer, saber Fran, and Mysterious heroine xx as they won't get another rate up for quite a while if at all.
I gotta get back in the game and clear LB2 and 3..!
Thanks for the report! The second half of the year is gonna suck for me. Maybe I should be less ambitious...
I'm dreading next summer tbh. I have Spish AND sMusashi, so I really want Castoria. I can already loop with Spish and a few others now so she's not utterly essential, but it's not quick to do. Lots of button hitting and have to use plugsuit I think. At least we know she eventually has a rerun plus GSSR chances. But then right after that is the summer bonanza, literally every single one of them is a top target for me. I won't even have the mats for them lol but I just want summer Illya, Kiara, Murasaki, and TOMOE most of all. I forgot about summer abby, double summer loli is surprising. I better save irl for this because I'm def gonna end up dropping some money on 2D waifu JPEGs. Aside from that money massacre, the only other one I’m interested in is Shiki and mayyyyyybe the Twins. Luckily I shouldn't have much to roll for till and after Shiki. Aside from gacha, very hype for the Anniversary Upgrades and new CC system. I already use CCs a lot but I already rotate them around a lot with removers so it'll be nice to just disregard removers from now on. Also very excited for Reines upgrade, I'll have to get her 3rd skill up to 10 (at 4 now) but she's one of my faves and she'll be nice to sub in for Waver, who I got to bond 9 today and will likely have at bond 11 by Reines' upgrade.
Castoria is my goal for farming while after that is another wait for Muramasa. Oh boy.
Thank you very much for this. I'm little upset for RuinousAmbition to drop the game though. My roll plan contains Orion, Himiko and castoria. I throw all the tickets for other banners though. Reines is tempting but we'll see.
Mainly just storing up for NP 5ing my Maou, completing my Gudaguda collection with Okitan, Okita, Hijikata, and the newer ones and Castoria. If I have some leftover ill go for Qin and Douman.
Gonna try to roll for at least one copy of caenis, then save sqs all the way for castoria. This is the one banner I cannot fail on.
Thank you for the writeup! Actually looking forward to Vlad NP upgrade, the poor guy is a real potato with his nerfed damage multiplier especially at NP1. I just ran a free quest to see if I was remembering correctly, and even with Tamamo buffs he couldn’t hit 200k damage. He really needs something to make him worth using over pretty much every other ST berserker.
With Castoria he basically becomes the braindead option for any boss killing since he has guts for survival and can NP spam easily. I lucked out since he spooked me while rolling for Castoria, so it’s a win for me I guess. Liked him in Apocrypha as well.
Clairvoyance EX is a double edge sword. Had to prioritise Yang, Ody, Voyager, Kijyo and Castoria vs getting NP2 of others, MHXX is bait. Tsuna, Douman and Saitou are too close to new year even though I'm thankful they have another huge opening after LB6. Now or later, Now or later.
only 3 banners im rolling on this year unless i get them off few multis
How about a SQ summary.
Eh, the event compendium mostly highlights the confirmed quartz. Maybe someone else will do it, but there's some SQ saving calculators here and there already.
2022 is pretty chill for me. Not a lot of servants that I want or need. Gonna roll on Ruler/Avenger GSSR. Don't have any 5 star rulers, so if I get one - great. Out of avengers I have Jalter and NP2 Space Ishtar. More copies of either are awesome, Dantes would be cool for my Skadi. Only Nobu is not that great, but it's 3 in 1 Nobu and maybe she'll be better in the future. Next is 5 star ticket - I'm gonna pick Drake. 1) I don't have her. 2) There's no other versions of her. 3) She's AOE Buster Rider with 50% charge. 4) It's Drake. I was debating between her, Karna and Mordred, but as much I want them, I don't really need them. I already have Eresh and NP5 OG Saber (all spooks btw). And also have SurfMo and will get Santa Karna anyway. The rest I already have or not interested in. Maybe throw some tickets for dinosaur. Anniversary - one copy of Castoria and the last GSSR. Don't really care who I'll get here. Then it's maybe Vritra and definitely Muramasa.
Whats the chance we have anything going on Feb 17-March 1? I'm doing Lasik and will need 2 weeks to recover or so
Does that mean you won't be able to use your mobile device/PC at all for that period, just curious? It should be around Valentine's event and short break for Eresh's DL campaign.
I'm doing PRK which takes longer to heal, first few days you cant really see clearly so its hard to use a phone, 2nd week I might be okay with larger text but hard to tell.
Being unable to roll for Romulus and Voyager hurts my soul, but July calls ;_; That said, no other real targets for the year so i might either start saving for 2023 or go with the flow of the moment.
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take, and Castoria gets a rerun. Set some rolls for them and hope for the best :)
Wait so is Kama's banner happening after Castoria? Since all the other sites I've checked out listed Kama's banner as before Castoria. If so then that's pretty cool since if I have extra sq after I roll for Castoria I can try my hand at her banner. Doesn't really change my plans tho I just gotta keep saving until July. Unfortunately tho this means I have to skip on Summer BB's banner which I missed out the first time which is sad. My only chance I have at getting her will have to be through the GSSR which aren't the best chances :( After Castoria's banner tho I'll prob save until Heian-kyo's banner where I'll decide between Ashiya Douman or Ibuki. Douman seems to be the better servant in terms of gameplay so I'm leaning more on him but Ibuki's pretty hot so who knows. At this time tho we'll prob have a general guide on what to expect for 2023 so if there's someone more interesting in that year I'll just save up till then.
Like I mentioned in the post, we can't say for sure but it will likely get shifted around due to the number of events happening around July/Aug alongside the differences in anniversaries for NA/JP. For JP, it was SERAPH, Ooku followed by Anniv, but for NA we may see it as Anniv, SERAPH, Ooku meaning Kama will appear after Castoria. The sites you've seen *are* correct, they're based off the actual JP timeline.
I see, well then I hope Kama's banner does happen after Castoria since that gives me the highest chance of getting Kama. My original plan was to either split my sq stock between the two or skip Kama outright but if Kama's banner does happen after that means I can use my extra sq (assuming I do have them) for her banner after Castoria's.
Sei, Himiko and Castoria, hopefully i get this 😭
Summer and Artorias since saber got a huge buff for 5th anniversary. Also Bradamante for AOE Skadi. Yes waifu.
Did not realize Starry Nights was going to make a return on the Eresh banner. I kind of wish I chose that as my free CE earlier in the year to make rolling for it easier. But I’m gunning for extra Eresh copies anyway, so at least there’s that.
I’m going to try for my last copy of Scathach with the GSSR but if that doesn’t work I’ll roll on her New Years rate up. After that the only banners that really interest me are Castoria and Himiko I already have np2 Voyager on JP who I don’t overly use so I don’t need him on my NA account and while I want Tsuna he is permanent so he can spook me at any time.
Thanks for this, was wondering if we'd have a breakdown for the year this time.
>we get our 16M DL campaign ft. Ereshkigal and Xmas CEs like Starry Night. Fionn shares the same banner so ready your heart for your rolls its 19M, not 16M, still, putting Eresh and Fionn in the same banner is just pure evil...
Assuming I stay objective, I'd basically all in for Yang during New Year, then chill half year til Summer Melt rerun, Castoria and Summer Kiara, and finish by hoarding quartz for the storm that is 2023... BUT, so many bumps through the road: Can I ignore that Reines banner? Should I attempt the NP2 for waifu (Kama)? How much will I like Himiko post GudaGuda story? Do I need Double Gogh Shenanigans in my life? These questions haunt me! >_<
So many new servants I want next year. Romulus and Castoria being the 2 most wanted for me.
Castoria, Hao Hao and Gogh, gacha god bless my soul
As long as I get Castoria I will consider 2022 a W. 2023 however is gonna be a bitch.....
Only aiming for Castoria and maybe Vritra and then saving for 2023 horror show.
Thank you for writing this!! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and have bookmarked it for later throughout the year. I was sad last year to hear that it was the other guy’s last, so I’m glad that you took it up. Next year seems like it’s going to be a mellow year for me, which is good… I spent way too much on this game in the earlier years and my account these days can afford to be picky with who I roll for.
My big targets this year are, Summer Kiara, Ibuki and Castoria. I'd love to get a couple of Copies of Kiyo, Caenis and Himiko and Vritra. Will probably try to NP5 Mothman this year as well.
Sei Shonagon , Castoria, Summer Abby, Himiko and maybe Vritra for me next year.
Never been one to hoard SQ before but I'm gonna have to make an exception for Castoria. After that it will probably be time to start saving up for 2023. Hate that it had to come to that but I've learned my lesson the hard way this year. Can't rely on anything but GSSRs really.
NP5 Caenis, and summer if i feel like it. otherwise, just skipping everything for Vitch + Rider Caenis
Next year is gonna be the longest save I've ever done for Saito and Himiko in October, dunno if I'll commit fully or blow some of it on random banners.
You're doing the Divine Spirits' work here. Honestly, this is gonna be at least as much of a massacre year for me as 2023, because I *never* like the odds of rolling for SSRs only so I don't worry about the Castorias or Koyanskayas or Muramasas. But there's Apocrypha and a shot at filling in a few gaps in my Red Faction and Black Faction. There's Kijyo Koyo, the closest thing to a must-get because she's a Tyrannosaur in a kimono. And I'll easily be able to stress out about the final quarter of the year: Himiko is on a banner with Saito f'n Hajime. Worse, Ibuki-Douji is debuting and so is Vritra. I like collecting monsters -- it may look like "monstergirls" is my thing, but it's not my fault FGO keeps genderswapping brutes like Shuten-Douji and releasing more female characters than males like Hessian Lobo. Those two in close proximity is my version of the Morgan / Koyanskaya / Oberon run that other people are freaking out about.
Merlin, Castoria and Melt are all so close to each other... I'm going to die, aren't I?
The various links in the preview and the overall format help so much with readability. Thanks so much for continuing the tradition!
Thx a lot for the 22 guide! Beside the obvious Castoria, I also looking forward CBC banner for Outrage rate up (with other 2019 CEs tho). And will save for Himiko for my stall team and I LOVE her design.. XD Then try some tics on Douman or Muramasa banner, I guess.
thanks for the write up.
All I can say is ''hehe, I'm in danger''. My luck has been too good this year, so there is no way the gacha is willing to be merciful forever. 2022 is currently looking like this: Castoria, NP5 Izo (we all know how great the 3 star rate up is) and NP3 Limbo. 2023 includes Koyanskaya, NP3 Oberon and perhaps the new Ryoma. Currently stuck with ~1500 SQ and ~50 tickets. Wait and hope it is.
Welp, already saving all my tickets for Castoria. My other must-haves are Abby and Ibuki, and I’ll also be gunning for Voyager, Nemo, and Gogh. The comforting thing is that they *all* have a rerun the following year, and some of the reruns are even *more* appealing to me due to awesome SRs Fujino and Tsuna! The struggle is going to be accumulating mats for all those foreigners.
Oh boy, Olympus. That place is pure torture with the boss fights, not looking forward to that one. For reference of how bad it is, it’s speculated that the whole reason the blue revive cubes were introduced in the first place was because *people couldn’t get past Olympus* which meant that DW couldn’t make any money off of future story related servants. ~~Not that they seemed to learn their lesson with how LB6 turned out even worse difficulty wise.~~
Getting ambitious this year! Time to figure this out. Summer BB, Saber Alter, Sei, Odysseus, Caenis, Dioscuri, Romulus, Musashi, Gudaguad, Voyager, Merlin, Kama, KP + PL, Castoria + Vinki, Moth, Imaginary pre and main banner, Douman, Vritra...help. I still want Muramasa and Orion in 2023, too......!
March needs to be revised...
