I can't stand the FP spam since I have so limited free CE space. We really need that inventory expansion

Doesn't help I have like 2.5m unused FP

Well, it's not really that bad any more. You can still roll FP until you're 100 over the current cap. Combined with drag to select, it goes pretty quick. I made a lot of space this campaign by using all the valentines chocolate CE as fodder (except for a select few) and some old event ones that aren't getting re-ran. Cleaned up the archive real nice.

[Icarian]

I should've dumped my FP when the success rate up was on, but oh well, I have well over a million FP.

The current challenge quest was the hardest one so far for my team, had to use the 3 command spells on the last boar, it's been a while since I had to use them.

I just skirted by without needing to use a CS. Though I was able to do merlin x2 and waver, which helped. Arash'd the first wave and then it was mostly merlins and Ishtar. Kouhai to the obvious save once one Merlin died and she kept the rest up for a while longer. The entire fight was 30+ turns i think.

the real crime is that the umu/nobu banner isn't until Part 2. I will likely do 1 or two 10 pulls on the first banner just to maybe get lucky and get some CE's, and then go all in on the umu/nobu banner

[IceSylph]

I used a little too many tickets on the summer re-run, trying to go for Mordred and Squirtoria. Used about 24 for only 4 on banner CE total, so full of regret.

I'm probably going to toss half of my remaining tickets on banner 1 to try and get jump started on CE. I'd like Umu but not too big a deal if I whiff. I'm more interested in the 4* (Nobu and Fran specifically), so will just use them day 1. Then use the remaining half on Maid Alter. I'm content not really getting them this year, and don't really want to use SQ for them at the moment, with Merlin right around the corner again. Everything after year 2 is pretty light pulling for me, outside of Skadi, so I can always shoot for them on the re-run next year.

I also need to start refreshing for part 2. I'm a little behind, and don't want to get caught on last day with too much to do.

Got around to doing the challenge quests:

Part 1:


Part 2:


I thought I'd be fancy on the crabs with Emiya's defense piercing NP, it didn't matter or work, lol. I should have just taken a second Waver or Lancelot for their DMG+ skills and NP.

Part 2 was fun. No one died, so only the front line mattered. Mash was definitely the MVP with her NP spam. I was showing my friend how CQ work in FGO, so for the first ~28 turns or so I wasn't card counting. Could have reduced the turn count a decent bit if I card counted from the get go.

[Katlan]

Honestly the addiction of CQs are some of my favorite pets of the game. I love the challenge

[IceSylph]

Did 23 tickets on banner 1, leaving nothing for banner 2 >.>

3* CE: 4
5* CE: 1

I haven't gotten shit with tickets for a very long time now <.<

[Icarian]

I didn't fare much better, 3* CE: 3 and 5* CE: 3 with 29 tickets...

EDIT, after 140 SQ, got Saber Fran and Nero Caster and another 4* and 5* CEs, not too bad, 29 tickets and 140 SQ total.

[Katlan]

I did 2 10 pulls and 10 tickets. I am saving my splurging for the nero/nobu banner but it is so far away I really just wanted some CE's to get started. I would love Summer Nito since she is one of my favorite characters, but priorities

I did get a bunch of event CE's and

-Summer Nobu (only 4 more copies to go!)
-Saberlot (nothing like getting a gold and it not being a summer servant)
-

Summer musashi is so over the top I love it.

The Summer Swimsuit challenge quest was pretty difficult. I got lucky and cleared it on my first try, but had to use the 3 CS to full revive. I borrowed a friends NP3 Gil (who had a shitty 3 star CE for event), and then did: Mushashi (sumo), Merlin (2030), Mash (Divine Banquet), Nobu Zerker (volumen Hydrargyrum), Herc (Bond CE). Mash got killed pretty quickly after coming in but she tanked 2 NPs for me so it worked out.

I read everyone bitching about how difficult Marie is with her 3 hit invincible, so the moment she came out I unloaded with a Mushashi NP crit combo that took her down to sub 25k HP. So even then when she used her invincible the next turn she was low enough where I killed her with a stun.

I had Summer Scatch, Squirtoria (45k HP), and Anne & Mary (1HP after guts revive) left when I had to use the CS revive, so a Gil NP took out Squirtoria and Anne & Marie right away. I underestimated Scath though as her pierce invuln sucks.

Finished the bridge CQ. Accidentally took the wrong team, because I clicked on it thinking it was the Artemis fight, but it was fine.

20 Turns
Cu Alter: Sumo Lv. 100
Waver: 2030
Merlin (Support): 2030
Mash: Kscope
Georgios (Lv. 1): Battle of Camlann
Heracles: Bond CE
Mystic Code: Atlas

I left Martha for last, since ST NP are easy enough to deal with. Kill order was something like: Tamamo > Kiyohime > Mordred > Anne > Marie > Scathach > Squirtoria > Martha.

Waver died a little under halfway done. Mash died towards the end, and then I sacc'd Georgios to eat a Martha NP. Cu and Merlin never died. Heracles came out on the last 2 turns. Was fun for going in semi-blind with wrong team. I was going to take AOE DPS like Ishtar for it, but whatever.

EDIT: I actually found Artemis more annoying because of her evades, 3 turn NP and defense up >.>

[Icarian]

I cleared it but was a bit messy, I missclicked on skills several times but it wasn't much of a problem, things went south on the last 3 servants, Artemis suddenly decided she didn't like my support Merlin and decided to insta-kill him with crits, and ate Marie's NP because I had no invincibility up, I would've probably won if I tried again, but used the command seals because I couldn't be bothered to do it again D:

Other CQ were pretty easy.

[Katlan]

Babylonia episode 0 is up on Funimation but not on Crunchyroll.

[IceSylph]

Kotarou and Medea Lily got a SQ on JP.

TL;DR: Kotarou got AOE DEF down and Buff Block. Medea Lily got buff removal resistance, cooldown reduction, and more healing.

Miyu weeps :'(

Summer 4 welfare is Hokusai (Saber).
