[MENTION=33830]moemoe-kyun[/MENTION]; Congrats on clearing 3-5 & 4-5.
4-5 has turn into a laughing joke now with aircraft ranks and being able to sortie 3 Armored CVs at best. Shoukaku and Zuikaku are quite strong even when chuuha. I can't see myself ever changing them back when their chuuha state with 3 torp planes can take out a green hp Ru-class in a single critical hit. Sorry for those still sticking to normal CV for them.
BB isn't even needed for the map anymore. Just 3CA(V) 3CV for all runs. Never forgive, Ta-class.
To be honest I think that for the final run that setup is really inconsistent. Only having 3 yasen hitters can easily turn into endless fails because you can't get in 2 solid hits on boss. For chipping though it is fairly faceroll.
Is there a ship that isn't 99 on your side Ecael? xD What preparation do you need o.O !?!? I guess I'll just do a whole set of EO 1-5 and 2-5 today and finish the rest up in 1-1 I guess xD
I don't have that many 99s, though I do have a fairly diverse array of random things like mutsukis in the 90s due to expeditions.
Oh so I have a bunch of useless people that I can't use NP of because they aren't actually friends? I guess whenever I do easy quest/interlude I can just go use one of those people and add them to my friend list I guess...by the way, have you added me yet? xD If not then my number is 589989891.
Hmm I've been deleting inactive and low level people too...I'll make some space on one of the accs I am running I guess.
Casko if you ask me is weak in terms of NP but because of her Divinity and her highest base stats she's probably the best Caster out at the moment in terms of just straight up damage to counter Assassin classes. The thing I really hate about Berserker class is they're so class canon and prone to get wiped before I can do anything about it because they take extra damage from all classes, which is frustrating when you need to tank it out in certain situations.
Barring random stuff like assassin dragon from halloween it is rare that we even need to consider running casters to dps things, better just to look at their utility overall. Zhuge is finally closer after buffs and in terms of needing to tank that dragon, Zhuge/Zhuge or Zhuge/Jeanne was more effective because of def buff. Either way, beyond the really rare weird situations you might as well as ignore damage on casters. Unless they make a pure dps caster with stats anyway. But if we are looking at synergy and teams then the whole 'best' char thing changes completely based on what you have at your disposal anyway. So eh.
As for zerkers...eh only kintoki among the mainly used ones atm is particularly squish. Herc and Vlad both have a bit of survival potential due to skills after all. In general we haven't really had to worry about survivability except against trash or extreme situations like Nerofest boss rush. How exactly we utilize zerkers will depend on what they throw at us, but again, as long as you are utilizing some level of common sense, you can avoid most of these drawn out scenarios as long as you know what's coming. Even if you don't, unless it is a death trap of a mission like lvl90 free quest Halloween or Nerofest finale, you can still wing it. The hardest counters in the game frankly are the damage triangles, zerkers who exist out of that spectrum are super convenient to use.
I personally rate Halloween Princess the best CE at the moment because maxed out gives you 20% damage to NP and starting at 50% gauge, most of the time getting that 100% or above gauge isn't much of a problem, Kaleido is nice if it have additional effect or ones that have problem getting NP bar, which then I might rather use petit devil because it comes with +15% NP gain.
Really? Lizzy is a tank? I find her one of the hardest hitting Lancer at the moment (probably the lack of other lancer to surpass her at the moment might be the problem?)
It depends on what you are doing and with whom? Lewd was great on Kintoki, 50% np if max ascend, 50% from animal speaking if lvl10, 1st turn NP. Even when we needed to work from 30np to 100 within one floor like with Halloween's assassin dragon floor 2, animal speaking and stalling a little gets the job done. But you can't necessary same the same of Heracles. For that, you might run zeroover or Kaleido in hope that the greater damage/less np to accumulate will do the job for you in time. There are very few servants where the 30% difference can be a nonfactor in a large amount of scenarios. The same logic applies to petit devil, Extra np gain will likely work out in time for say Vlad, but probably won't for Heracles or Lancelot. If you consider how often we are reduced to farming trash mobs in FGO, then the potential of having multiple kaleidos to minimize effort as you spam down entire floors quickly is pretty alluring. So all in all, these things do similar enough things that you can consider them to be loose equivalents while offering a little room for specialization. No real point to argue about what the 'best' is.
Lancers don't really hit all that hard? Besides, her np is trash except for armor penetration.
Good Luck with your events.
