hey as someone who plays on JP, I like that you talk about the immortal combo. but not over the version with himiko which gives a +2 overcharge with your NP.

Best option to deal with Castoria is field degen (so unclearable), because she cannot heal and degen go though invulnerability. That would require using second support with heal or regen :D

I plan on getting Koyanskaya, Morgan, and then Castoria, just cause Castoria works very well even outside of arts looping teams

I’m still torn between goin for 2 after 1, but I’ve been saving since Sitonai wiped me in early October, including Tickets. As long as I get NP1, I’ll be happy. Especially since her Bond CE effectively gives NP2 if you get her NP off during a farm

In situations like these I wouldn't advise going for NP 2 just to make her NP stronger. Instead having the 2nd copy to me provides the most benefit on a support by increasing their gauge beyond 100% . This allows you go beyond the normal threshold to NP in the case of enemies having drain mechanics or it not being the right time to NP yet (this happens to me all the time with the invincible comp).

Although both jeanne and castoria are both used in a stall team, they have different purpose to serve.

I've got so many servants (60+ SSRs), all meta supports maxed out, got to master level 150, almost 180 interludes done (except for angra) and every rank up I have available, done. So, I've got strong units and literally NOWHERE TO USE THEM because endgame FGO have nothing for us to do, and Castoria would make the game even more boring, since it'll all become way easier. Gosh, for the past few days my AP has been stuck at max because I don't even bother to do anything other than log in, get daily reward, leave. Not even the weekly missions I've been doing, for the last 3 weeks, I guess... We seriously need some end game content instead of broken ass units, because if you're f2p and reached that point, fine. You fought your way to reach where you're standing at. But if you're a dolphin/whale, it feels even worse, because most times you're able to just run over everything that got in front of you, almost no difficulty.

first!

what the fuck do you mean "how to use castoria" as if her usage wasnt straightforward.

I hate castoria personally. She's so stupidly buster and overtuned that she trivialises almost every bit of content and makes dozens upon dozens of good servants look like bad jokes by comparison. I'll see see if I can get her to maximize the performance of some of my favourite units, but I do so reluctantly.

As far as Castoria making some servant irrlevant . Most people should realize that if Castoria trivialize anyone it's Waver and Jeanne above all .Waver is now a plug support instead of a main support and Oberon trivialize that . Jeanne is just too slow and not as effective as Castoria for defense Castoria best partner is probably Merlin, followed by Tamamo and Reines . Special mention to Gogh would work incredibly well with Castoria , kinda work like a Merlin but more aggressive.
