Paracelsus is a great F2P Caster with an 80% charge, teamwide Arts buff, and targeted NP gain + Guts. He's also widely used in advanced farming comps. Probably the number one farming Servant I wish I'd levelled earlier! Oh, and any NP charge skill that scales (most do--check if there are [Lv X] brackets in the description after "charges NP") are worth maxing.

You can add a Shakespear to this party. Use Chaldea Battle Suit with Order Change skill. This suit can provide damage boost unlike the one you use in this video. And Shakespear can add more damage by his Enchant skill (first skill). His targeted battery will charge with 20% on all levels from 1 to 10. However, farming like this will take more time and you give up one of the slots you use to bond farm. But this comp has more damage, so you'll be able to farm harder quests.

You'll be farming embers until day you quit the game, more or less, so yeah, I'd suggest making that aspect as quick and painless as possible sooner rather than later

Me personally, I use my grailed Helena (lvl90) who has her skills maxed, and have her and another servant with with Kaleidoscope, as well as a friend berserker who has it. Basically using Helena’s 1st skill fills everyone’s gauges and then using her other skills I don’t have to worry about people not doing enough damage to clear the wave. Hell if Helena’s self NP buff procs (I think it’s like 80%ish) she can clear even waves with rider pieces. In the off chance it doesn’t, I try to have the other servants clean up the rest. But yeah obtaining Helena, and two Kaleidoscopes isn’t the easiest for people. Still wish I saw something like this video when I first started playing years ago. I honestly never saw the potential in lower stared servants like Arash until I had methods that can out perform him. Still though this video is great for anyone starting out

Technically yes, there are other ways. Your daily login will net you one item selected from three options. Items can be purchased through event shops, but of course only when an event is ongoing and the item you need happens to be part of the shop. And finally, completing main story nodes will reward a small amount of a pre-determined item along with a single Saint Quartz. And that's every way that I can think of. If you'd rather try to get more embers or advance through more of the story, by all means, the grinding nodes will still be there when you're done!

For the Support Servant, do you need to specifically have El-Mlloi? Also, the CE for Kiyohime doesn't matter, right, it's just the CE for Arash and Spartacus that need to be 50+% NP Gain? P.S You did a genuinely great job on this guide, usually, people see these really small channels and assume the quality will be terrible, but you were clear, concise and easy to understand, even for someone who's not at all familiar with the meta-language in most of the guides you see concerning stuff like this.

@ethandupras

Assuming minimal requirements everywhere else, yes, Waver is necessary. His skills give 10% NP charge to all active characters, then another 10%, again to all characters, then 30% to one character. This amount of on-demand party-wide NP charging is unique to him across the whole game. And if all characters are starting at only 50%, we'll need every bit of that. There are other support servants you could use if you have much nicer craft essences. For example, Merlin charges the entire party's guages by 20%, so if you had the craft essence called Kaleidoscope that begins a character with 80%, you could use him instead. The basic concept or formula for making any 3-turn farming team is: Starting NP guage from CE + Servant's own NP charge skills + incoming charge from the Mystic Code + incoming charge from our support servant = 100%. And as long as you can make that formula get to 100% for all three characters (and the units have enough damage to clear the wave) you'll be OK. So, for Kiyohime, we see that she doesn't have an NP charge skill and the mystic code skill was already used up, making those two variables 0. But she'll get the full benefit of all three of Waver's skills, which will get her to 50%. Thus, like the other two, she will need a CE that starts her at 50% in order to get to 100% without any normal cards. Let me know if you have any further questions, I know I just threw a lot of info at you. Thank you very much, I'm happy to hear that!

Another question, do I ABSOLUTELY HAVE to have Arash's Arrow Construction Skill and Spartacus' Unyielding Will skill upgraded all the way up to 10? I don't have any crystallised Lore's in my inventory, so would lvl 9 of both these skills be ok?

@ethandupras

3 жыл бұрын

The amount of NP gained is based on the skill's level. At level 9, Arash and Spartacus will gain 28% and 26% respectively, meaning they won't be at 100% unless you take normal turns and use their arts cards. If you can't get the skill to level 10 but still want to 3-turn clear the level, the only other real option is to have nicer craft essences. Two Imaginary Element CEs (one for Spartacus and one for Arash) means you could pull this off with both skills at level 1. Alternatively, you if you had your own Waver, you could switch to the combat uniform mystic code and use a double Waver setup to compensate instead.

Any advice on getting skills to level 10 for this party set up? Also, any alternate CEs? (Kaleidoscope and Imaginary element work, well right?)

@ethandupras

3 жыл бұрын

Specifically what about getting skills to 10? If the real question you're asking is where to get Crystalized Lore, they come from events. The currently ongoing GudaGuda event has no entry requirement beyond clearing Fuyuki, is pretty easy and gives away 2, 1 for finishing the story and one for clearing the challenge quest if you've completed Solomon and can access it. I specifically addressed your second question from 3:07 - 3:51. Please rewatch that section of the video and let me know if anything remains unclear.

I was wondering where I could get the crystalized lore mat so I could max his skill from 9-10. I know I have a lot of farming ahead of me to finish this team, but its been pretty fun. Also, where do you recommend farming the octuplet crystals? Im sorry if this is a very noob question, but your videos have helped me a lot. Thank you.

I always read my comments! Congrats on Arash! Crystallized lore are kinda a pain. If you're a way bigger whale than me, you can buy them with rare prisms through Da Vinci's shop. If not, they come from events. Completing the event's story, the event challenge quest, or fulfilling various other requirements and milestones will reward them. There is an upcoming beginner-friendly event called GudaGuda Final Honnoji where you'll be able to grab a few. Rather than keeping track of the best place to farm everything, I always just use a guide like this one: gamepress.gg/grandorder/item/octuplet-crystals You can type in the name of any ascension material into the search bar and it'll bring up all the locations where that material is a possible drop, sorted in order for optimal AP efficiency. I'm not sure how far into the story you are, but if you've just started, it looks like your best bet may be the two-current sea in Okeanos. When you make it to Agartha, your options get much better, so keep pushing! Thanks for watching and asking, I'm glad to hear they've been helpful. Let me know if I can be of any further use to you!

Such is the way of the gacha, I'm afraid. Any CE with 50% starting NP charge or higher will work with this setup, though. There have been a few of those available lately (even outside of gacha, like Aerial Drive or Painting Summer) and of course Imaginary Element is permanent, as is Kaleidoscope and Devilish Bodihisatva, to give you some other options. If you never summon and never grab the event CEs from the shops, there isn't much I can do for you, but if you're doing one or the other and making sure to spin the FP wheel every day, you should come across some of these CEs or other compatible options before too long

NEVER advise giving grails to a unit for damage. The increase is minimal and you're wasting grails. You grail a servant out of love and they're precious/limited. And Brave chains don't affect NPs.

@ethandupras

3 жыл бұрын

I really don't think its as simple as "NEVER do x". I love to use Cu as a solo unit, that's a style of gameplay I really enjoy. However, doing so successfully is only possible in some fights if he's grailed because he needs that additional damage and bulk from the extra stats he gets from grails. Would you tell me that I should "never" have done so? That I shouldn't use my grails to enhance the gameplay of a servant I really enjoy using? As for the increase being minimal, that's more of a case-by-case basis as well. For most SSRs, I'd be mostly happy to agree. But grailing Arash all the way, for example, will take his ATK stat from 5,816 to 9,037. "Substantial" is of course a subjective term (as is minimal) but I'd say that qualifies under my own standard of the term. If somebody loves Arash and wants to reliably clear the first wave of every node in the game with him (or as near as they can get to that goal) and as such wants to grail him to increase his damage as much as possible, I certainly wouldn't tell that person they should "NEVER" do so. Would I personally use my grails that way, or say its the best possible use of them? Not necessarily, but I certainly wouldn't tell them they shouldn't do so if their mind is set and they're making an informed and well-reasoned decision. And I'm sure we could agree that not very many people would fit the description above. But my point is that conceptually, I don't think grailing for gameplay is inherently wrong (or should NEVER be advised, to be as specific to your argument as possible). Some of my servants are grailed with no regard at all for gameplay, some are grailed because I love their gameplay and I want to get as much mileage out of them as possible. The method you describe is a perfectly valid approach to grailing servants, but I don't think it's the only valid method. I've taken the time to respond at length like this because I understand my opinion on this topic differs from much of the community and you, along with everybody else who might read this, deserve to know where I'm coming from when I presented that option. As for your second point, you're correct. I didn't do a good job conveying that information in the video and its good you've pointed that out. My concern at the time was to display a run with as little RNG as possible, so it could still be done without relying on card draws. Since I wasn't working with a script, I decided on the spot to simply avoid buster chains, rather than just state it out. In retrospect, its obvious that was an inefficient way to make the point and I wish I had done it differently, but such is the nature of the beast of KZread. Anyhow, thanks for giving me the opportunity to expand on those thoughts and for the clarification about the buster chains.

@@ethandupras To defend myself on the " NEVER " point, it's just to make sure that newbies are set on the right path. Granted it's just better to save grails until you're further into the game and have more units/know for sure of who you like, but you shouldn't leave even a possibility for newbies to potentially waste grails, as they are just SO precious. I wasted 5 grails on 2 servants I used to like and I also did it to give them an extra damage boost, which did not help in the long run and I really regret not having those grails. My method would be to use hyperbolic to really get the idea out of newbie's head to ensure or have as high a possibility to ensure, that they don't use grails willy-nilly. That's one mistake you don't want to make. And in general, it's a nice rule of thumb to just stay away from trying to grail for efficiency because like I said, the difference is minimal and you could just use a better unit for gameplay. So to keep it simple and leave very little room for regret, just grail out of love. The possible regret would be you not liking said servant anymore, but that just can't be helped. In the end, I just want newbies to not waste resources and not have regrets. Like I do..

Assuming your craft essences are starting your servants at 50%, Arash's 3rd skill and Spartacus' 2nd, the ones that charge their noble phantasm meters, need to be at level 10. You'll need to do a rank up quest or interlude before Arash gets his 3rd skill. If you have better craft essences that give your servants more NP charge at the beginning of the battle, the necessary skill level goes down accordingly.

could they maybe work at nine? i used all my lore and I dont have any more

@ethandupras

The amount of NP charge they get is based on the skill level. With the skills at level 9, they won't get to 100% NP. Unless you have better CEs (as in, CEs that start your servants with more than 50% NP) than the ones featured in the video, in which case you can get away with lower skill levels. Or, if you have your own AOE NP charger servant like Waver or Merlin

Hello. I started at the start of Summer 3. This is a simple setup I made last week. 1. Arash (Lvl. 60), 1k Fou'd, Max Skill 3, and MLB Aerial Drive. 2. Spartacus (Lvl. 60), Imaginary Element 3. OzymanDIO (Lvl. 90), **trying to max his 1st skill for lancers** 4. Raikou (Lvl. 80), MLB His Rightful Place, still trying to max lvl her... 5. Support Waver 6. bond farming servant MC: Plugsuit (for swapping Ozy and Waver) Edit: Do you still accept requests? I'm gonna add you when I'm on later. IGN is Prometheus.

Ozy was my second ever SSR, I used him in a similar capacity for a long time. I eventually found the animation/button presses for swapping another servant in was adding more time than to each run that didn't need to be there. But if it works, it works! And good on you for getting it setup so quickly, it'll serve you well!

In broadstrokes, yes. Arash will still be able to handle the first wave as long as you aren't on Lancer TGs. Spartacus will still be able to handle the second wave. The third wave will instead require a single target nuke rather than an AOE berserker. You can use a single target berserker like Lu Bu or (preferably) your strongest single target servant with class advantage. Whether that will be enough to end the fight right away depends on which servant you're using and which TG you're running. The highest level TGs have bosses with ~180k hp, which is a lot to ask of any servant. So, depending on your circumstances, you may have to nuke as much as possible with the NP, then finish the fight off normally.

@ethandupras

3 жыл бұрын

That last wave of enemies have the highest hp pool, so whoever you use there needs to be able to deal about 30k between their own kit and Waver's atk buff, plus whatever stats they get from their CE. A 3 star without an upgraded NP and at NP1 is going to struggle there, regardless of who it is. Make sure to keep doing your free friend point gacha spin every day. There are also some strong upcoming banners (like the Thanksgiving banner available right now with a bunch of powerful, limited SSRs) that you might want to roll on, which gives you a high likelihood of picking up those dupes soon enough. Like I said in the video, this team won't necessarily be fully operational right away, but give it some time and you'll get all the parts you need. Its hard for me to reccomend servants when I don't know your roster. Bloodaxe is a two star, so he's even easier to get than Kiyohime, he can do it at NP5. If you got Cat or Fran from the tutorial summon, they could manage it. The point is, use your strongest/highest NP level AOE berserker. But if nobody can handle it yet, you could try switching the kiyohime position with Spartacus, so instead Kiyo/whoever else will handle the second wave and Spartacus does the third. His NP is upgraded so he does quite a lot of damage. Hope that helps!

@@ashenreborn1161 With where you're at, I usually reccomend people kind of split their time between working on their servants and advancing the story. As for the specific split, you'll have to decide that for yourself. The early singularities are very easy and you'll more or less be able to steamroll everything in your way for roughly the first five. However, for most players, singularity six is a pretty shocking difficulty spike. I would tell you that you want to have about one fully leveled servant per class by the time you start singularity six. During Six, you'll fight bosses who use AOE NPs every turn, bosses with 700k hp and Invul pierce on their NP, bosses that lie to you about what class they are so you go in with the wrong team, and so much more. So, try to advance the story a little bit here and there while building up some servants such that you have at least one usable 3 star servant in every class, then you can borrow another class advantaged unit from your friends list. Run those two together in a team with Mash (who you should also be working on, if you aren't already) or Hans or somebody and you will be in a pretty good spot. Does that help give you some direction?

@ethandupras

3 жыл бұрын

Not dumb at all! When you get multiple copies of a craft essence, you can feed them to each other to "limit break" them. This will increase it's level cap each time, up to 100. When you limit break it four times, called "max limit break", the effects of the CE will be improved. Dragon's Meridian will go from 30 to 50% starting charge once it is max limit broken. So, to answer your question, find a total of 5 copies of the CE, go to the enhancement menu, then Craft Essence, select one of the CEs in question to enhance on the left. Tap the enhancement materials section on the right and the other copies will be moved to the front and will say "limit breakthrough" in yellow text. Select them all and enhance. This will max limit break the original and improve its effects.

You'll be prompted with a list of items and materials that varies from servant to servant. If you have the necessary items in the appropriate amounts, hit ascend. The items will be consumed and the servant will ascend, which increases their level cap, changes their sprite, unlocks their new skills, etc. Servants need to be ascended 4 times, with the material requirements getting a bit tougher each time. These items can be farmed through events and free quests in the singularities and you can find drop charts online to figure out where to get which items.

If she's highly invested in, kinda. Mine is NP5 with her ATK buff at lv4 and 0 ATK fous, her NP does about 25k against neutral class enemies. This means, for my copy of her, that her ability to clear the third wave in one NP is somewhat dependent on RNG for Caster days, pretty hit or miss on Rider days, and severely limited on Assassin days. If your Medusa is way more badass than mine, that might change for you. The reason that the team in the video uses a berserker on the final wave is because they get a 50% damage bonus against whatever they're fighting, so they're transferable between all variations of the quest with no drop-off in terms of performance. So, for those reasons, I'd encourage you to use a berserker.

Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiinda... Arash and Spartacus should still do fine for the first two waves, but the third wave bosses on the higher level TGs have really high hp and most AOE servants aren't going to be able to do the job with the setup as presented here. So trade out Kiyo for your best single-target servant (preferably with class advantage) and your best CE for damage with 50% starting charge. But depending on your roster, that may or may not be enough to 3-turn the whole thing. ~180k is a lot of damage to ask of any servant with one ATK buff and their own skills, but there are those who can do it. I did some testing just now on the Saber TG. Deviating from this setup and using things specific to my account, I can get my Tomoe Gozen to deal 315k damage and melt the boss without much trouble. But using only f2p servants and CEs that everybody theoretically has, the best I could do was Lu Bu and 138k. So, depending on your roster, you may have to just do as much as you can with the NP on the 3rd wave, then face card/normal play your way through the rest of the fight

Could I add you on discord or something. I have one question that I need help with.

But all that aside, there are new events all the time, new CEs coming out, and so on. As an example, there's a welfare assassin from the first game's first summer event, her rerun has come and gone and she's no longer accessible.
