NA finally stepping it up and not gimping us. Babylon going to be 1/2 AP as well.

[Katlan]

So... will Barbatos (sp) be up right when servers go live? That's midnight for me, and it sounds like he may be dead by the time I get a chance to play in the morning lol

[Icarian]

Same with me, I'll try to fight him in the morning if he's still alive.

I'm scared to roll for Merlin, I'm having Jalter flashbacks...

[IceSylph]

Yes, he'll be up. He'll be the first one to die. If you're a whale, he's pretty easy to 1TKO. If not a whale, it's going to take a few turns to do so, and since it's the best raid of them all, it will go down very fast. In JP it only lasted a few hours, but that's with a much larger population, but they also had to roll > make setups for it. NA just have to roll, since they've already made the setups.

May want to invest in a character who can debuff clear (Medea skill 2, Sanson skill 2?) for earlier raids. They give you a debuff depending on which pillars are still alive. So can just use debuff clear on DPS to make them do normal damage (it's generally arts/quick/buster debuff).

[Katlan]

From what I’ve read Illy and Sanzang can one shot with the proper setup. But I’ll be rolling for Merlin later in the day so I won’t have a chance for him until after the Merlin pillar dies

I did math on this earlier for Sanzang, Scathach and Jalter. Assuming bond works the way I think it does for damage, you'll need an NP2 Sanzang at bond 10 to 1 shot it:

Sanzang

Spoiler: show

		• Barbatos: Sanzang	
			• Sanzang: Black Grail
			• Medea: Golden Carp (Or Buster+10-15% AoE entry)
			• Merlin: Buster+10% AOE
			• Merlin: 
			• MC: Plugsuit
				• ATK: 70% (20% x2, 30%)
				• Buster+110%
				• NP Dmg: 75%
				• Bond 10: +60% DMG
					• Damage (If 200%): 759422 - 928155

If we take the same buffs, but a more modest approach to NP1:

		• Barbatos: Sanzang	
			• Sanzang: Black Grail
			• Medea: Golden Carp (Or Buster+10-15% AoE entry)
			• Merlin: Buster+10% AOE
			• Merlin: 
			• MC: Plugsuit
				• ATK: 70% (20% x2, 30%)
				• Buster+110%
				• NP Dmg: 75%
				• Bond 10: +60% DMG
					• Damage (If 200%): 569598 - 696147

If we reduce to what I was going to try for myself, assuming I pull Merlin:

		• Barbatos: Sanzang	
			• Sanzang: Black Grail
			• Medea: Golden Carp (Or Buster+10-15% AoE entry)
			• Merlin: Buster+10% AOE
			• Merlin: 
			• MC: Plugsuit
				• ATK: 70% (20% x2, 30%)
				• Buster+110%
				• NP Dmg: 75%
				• Bond 6: +60% DMG
					• Damage (If 160%): 455703 - 556943

Unless you're NP2, with Black Grail, and a Merlin of your own, it's not going to be a 1 turn for farming.

Scathach

Spoiler: show

		• Barbatos: Scathach
			• Scathach: Black Grail
			• Medea: Golden Carp  -- Use debuff cleanse on Scathach then switch out
			• Waver: Kscope (60% CE works)
			• Waver (Support):
			• MC: Plugsuit
				• ATK: 90% (30% x3)
				• Quick+50%
				• NP Dmg: 60%
				• Divine/Undead: 100%
				• Bond 9: +90% DMG
					• Damage (If 290%): 490604 - 599405

Scathach needs NP3 to kill with that.

These also all assume skill 3 is being used, which I'm not sure even works on the pillars. In the videos I've seen, people using Scathach use the skill, but the enemies themselves don't have the traits required, according to wiki. If skill 3 doesn't work, then you need NP5 regardless at bond 10. I think this is the case, since NP5 Scathach without her skill 3 does kill them, according to the calculator.

Reason Medea is being used is to clear debuffs on the main DPS since you have arts/quick/buster debuffs until other pillars die.

Redid some Jalter numbers:

Spoiler: show

		• Barbatos: Jalter (Crit): 15,082 ATK
			• Jalter: Joint Recital 
			• Medea: Golden Carp
			• Merlin: Golden Carp
			• Merlin: Bond+
			• MC: Plugsuit
				• ATK: 90% (20% x3, 30%)
				• Buster: 170% (50% x3, 20%)
				• Crit DMG+: 270% (100% x2, 50%, 20%)
				• Bond: 60% DMG
				• NP: 253,689-310,064
					• B2 (Crit): 268,816 - 327,882
					• B3 (Crit): 339,580 - 414,372
					• EX: 37,681 - 46,055
						• Total: 899,766 - 1,098,374
							** Included +60% DMG on NP, but not the following attacks.

This would be a few turns, since Jalter would only have 40% NP.

		 • Barbatos: Jalter (Crit2): 15,475 ATK
			• Jalter: Holy Night Dinner (Lv. 50) 
			• Medea: Golden Carp
			• Merlin: Golden Carp
			• Merlin: Bond+
			• MC: Plugsuit
				• ATK: 90% (20% x3, 30%)
				• Buster: 150% (50% x3)
				• Crit DMG+: 265% (100% x2, 50%, 15%)
				• Bond: 60% DMG
				• NP: 270132 - 330161
					• B2 (Crit): 247,701 - 302,075
					• B3 (Crit): 312,543 - 381,326
					• EX: 37,681 - 46,055
						• Total: 868,057 - 1,059,618
							** Included +60% DMG on NP, but not the following attacks.

This one would be able to NP beginning on turn 2, turn 1 would leave Jalter at 90% NP.

		• Barbatos: Jalter (Crit3 -- 1 Merlin + 1 Waver): 15,475 ATK
			• Jalter: Holy Night Dinner (Lv. 50) 
			• Medea: Golden Carp
			• Merlin: Golden Carp
			• Merlin: Bond+
			• MC: Plugsuit
				• ATK: 100% (20% x2, 30% x2)
				• Buster: 100% (50% x3)
				• Crit DMG+: 215% (100%, 50% x2, 15%)
				• Bond: 60% DMG
				• NP: 233,407 - 285,275
					• B2 (Crit): 190,906 - 232,642
					• B3 (Crit): 239,920 - 292,548
					• EX: 40,698 - 49,742
						• Total: 704,931 - 860,207
							** Included +60% DMG on NP, but not the following attacks.		

		• Barbatos: Jalter (Crit4 -- 2 Merlin + Kscope/60% NP): 15,020 ATK
			• Jalter: Kscope (Lv. 20) 
			• Medea: Golden Carp
			• Merlin: Golden Carp
			• Merlin: Bond+
			• MC: Plugsuit
				• ATK: 90% (20% x3, 30% x1)
				• Buster: 150% (50% x3)
				• Crit DMG+: 250% (100% x2, 50%)
				• Bond: 60% DMG
				• NP: 233,932 - 285,917
					• B2 (Crit): 236,936 - 288,921
					• B3 (Crit): 298,928 - 364,688
					• EX: 37,527 - 45,866
						• Total: 807,322 - 985,391
							** Included +60% DMG on NP, but not the following attacks.

Made a lot of setups for Jalter. If you have a Jalter and either Merlin OR Waver, you should be able to reliably 1-2 turn clear. If you have atleast 1 Golden Carp MLB.

My only bond 10 DPS are giglamesh, bride, Kojiro (lol), Herc, and jack, rest are all support such as waver and tamamo. Rest are all 6-8.

each kill drops 800k! Holy crap Ill be burning all my applies just for the QP

[Icarian]

My SQ reserves are fucking gone, used all my 540 SQ and didn't get him...

but after 20 out of 50 tickets he came (and so did I) I was about to say Goodbye to FGO since I was not going to handle spending everything I've saved for half a year without getting even a consolation 5* for a second time, but alas, Gacha was somewhat merciful, still not as lucky as some of you that'll get him with a couple of 10-rolls, as always.

[Katlan]

Grats!! I haven’t tried for Merlin yet aside a few tickets. I can’t do the first mission though since my support list won’t load. Q_Q

Every time I select the first Solomon mission I get “criteria is not key” for the support list

[IceSylph]

780SQ, No Merlin. Got spooked by Altera at 450. Going to stop at 780SQ, I think. I don't really want to spend more than I already have.

EDIT: That's a 16% chance of not getting Merlin. Ouch.

[arus2001]

First 10 pull for me. I accept your hate.

Also changed my name to Weiss in-game.

[Icarian]

Why is it always the same people? Share some of your luck, what the hell, I've never pulled anything with less than 450 SQ and a dozen or two of tickets besides that NP2 Jalter back in October and you keep pulling shit with one or two 10-rolls

Spoiler: show

IT'S NOT FAIR

[IceSylph]

Here's my pillar farm setup:

Waver: Golden Carp
Saberlot: Golden Carp
Merlin (Support): W/e CE
Heracles: Golden Sumo

Saberlot uses skill 1 to give 15 stars. Switchout Saberlot for Herc. Superbuff. Herc only needs 1 card outside of NP to kill pillar. It's turn 1 kill. 2 max if Herc draws 0 cards.

[Icarian]

I'm going Double Merlin and Jalter with Golden Sumo CE, switching a Merlin for Mash with Golden Carp to get the remaining 10% NP.

I'm kind of bummed at the damage Jalter is pulling though, 590-600k with NP2, Bond 10 and double Merlin seems somewhat low, I don't know how you're pulling nearly 700k with Herc and no double Merlin.

Heracles: NP2 (The only good thing I got from my rolls) - Bond 10.
ATK: 13,645

Buffs:
Buster+50%
ATK+126% (Waver 30%, Merlin 20%, Heracles 31%, Plugsuit 30%, Sumo 15%)
Critical+: 186%

NP: 400,360 - 489,174
Buster1: 275,517 - 335,980

Dead.

Well, it's not like I haven't been cockblocked in the past, either. First Jalter run got me shit and the two attempts we've had at Raikou were fruitless, too.

[Katlan]

My herc one shots with Merlin, waver, and anniversary blond. I’m not going to try for my own merlin into barbatos is dead.

Hopefully the RNG gods favor me as I really want Musashi but I feel like I need to try for merlin

[Katlan]

Merlin and Sanzang in 90 quarts and 15 tickets

[Insanecyclone]

lmao i just noticed FGO is top 3 grossing on google play currently
