Merry Ereshmas.

I'm torn on rolling for her. I will drop some quartz regardless since its a lottery and I want to make farming the shop faster, but if she doesn't come home after a few multi's I may just stop. Aside being a Rin face, her kit isn't that great and she overall is pretty lackluster. I want her because she is a rin face, but with Hokusai right around the corner she is my real goal.

I'll give a rundown on how she works, since I've been using her as my main AoE lancer on JP for the past year. Her skillset actually works quite well. Skill 1 is whatever, we'll just ingore that, TL;DR: Invincibility. Skill 3 is your standard Buster+50%, and has an NP charge (I wish the NP portion was on skill 1, tbh). Skill 3 is actually an amazing skill.

DEF+20%
Max HP+3000 (Essentially also a 3000 Heal)
NP Gain+30%
When using NP, AoE ATK+20% for 3 turns.

She functions as a hybrid support and DPS. The heal is extremely nice, as it's on a 6t cooldown. The NP Gain is honestly pretty obnoxious, it's that good and makes the whole team better. Her NP gain is slightly better than average. She has good internals (2.16% Quick, 3.24% Arts (3.6% after passive)). Her NP gain is sort of backloaded on the Arts however. If it crits, you will pretty much get to or near 100% NP. Star Gen is 11.8%, slightly below average compared to Lartoria and Scathach (12.2%).

Her biggest issue is the following:
Lower ATK (10.3k unfou'd. Lartoria is 10.9k, Karna 11.9k, but Karna is on the very high end compared to Lancers. Essentially like Gilgamesh for Archer)
No NP interlude.

She hits decently enough with her stats, but it's not amazing. If you do want her, I would suggest trying for NP2 where she will shine. If she gets an NP interlude in the future, it will fix all of her issues, to be honest. She can NP 2x in 3 turns easily enough, though that isn't really exclusive to her.

For supporting, she works well for people who don't have their own native supports, Merlin, Waver, etc, as she can fill the niche of providing a heal, along with DEF+ (ATK too, but NP locked), while also contributing DPS.

TL;DR: She's quite good, but her main issue is no interlude for NP, and below average ATK for her rarity and class. For pure farming, Lartoria is better (20% NP refund). She does well in CQ (pretty much all CQ in future are AoE), especially in the upcoming Gilfest fight against Jeanne, Taiga and Nobunaga. She's the ideal servant for that one.

P.S.: Please give interlude like Ishtar, ty.

EDIT: I also think it's very likely she'll be getting an NP interlude early in the new year. Babylonia anime part 2 will start then, and Ishtar got hers when part 1 started. They are both sisters and Rinfaces afterall.

EDIT2: In regards to Hokusai, if she's not mega waifu, I'd personally skip. Foreigners are honestly a shitty class that doesn't have anything really going for them. Everyone is good against berserkers, and enemies will still 1 shot you through class advantage in future. For her CQ shenanigans, it only lasts a few months and needs NP2-3 to get enough NP gain to do well, same with damage.

[Icarian]

I'll throw one or two tickets just because, I like Lartoria better than Eresh and I have her at NP2, so no point in rolling for her since they're pretty similar, Lartoria is better for farming as she can easily NP back to back and having the NP battery separated from Mana Burst is a plus.

Eresh would fare better in CQs due her third skill.

I may roll for Scathach on new year's banner, there's nothing that grabs my attention till next summer.

[Katlan]

When you break it down like that she does sound like a better servant. I will need to do some more digging into her since there is a lot of competition in the AoE lancer department. I really want Bradamante, but she is not until the end of the year.

Regarding Hokusai. I love her animation and NP so I gotta roll for her even though I got lucky with Aby.

[IceSylph]

Finished my rolls. Started off extremely strong, then tapered off. Already max grailed Ereshkigal. 8/10/8 for now. I didn't want to overfarm stakes before her banner incase I whiffed again <,<

TL;DR: NP3 Ereshkigal.

Originally was stopping at NP2, but wanted more CE since I got nothing really from the tickets and 2 multis and I wanted to MLB the 5* CE. Ended up with 4 copies of the 5* CE, so can't MLB it for 2 years until NA gets the Babylon campaign, unfortunately. It is quite nice.

• Tickets: 25
	• 5* CE: 1
	• 3* CE: 2
	• Ereshkigal (8)
	
• SQ: 450
	• 5* CE: 3
	• 4* CE: 9
	• 3* CE: 8
	• 5* CE 500 Year Obsession: 2
	• 5* CE Another Ending
	• 5* Ereshkigal (60, 450)
	• 4* Gilgamesh Caster: 2 (180, 390)
	• 4* Suzuka Gozen (210)
	• 4* Medusa Lily (240)
	• 4* Fion (330)
	• 4* Atalante (330)

EDIT: Also finished grailing Ishtar Rider from 90-100. I'm now at 0 grails <.< Next grail target is Meltililith during the CCC re-run, so not a big deal.

[Katlan]

I got NP2 in under 200 SQ so I'm tempted to go for NP3. But that is where the trouble will cost me. I did 2 more multi's and 5 more tickets and no dice. I'm just going to consider myself lucky and stop here (I think).

Grats, hope you enjoy her, she's great \o

Hey guys, you can get a 5* shielder! Whose your favorite shielder?!

Using this for final farm node:

Arash: 75% NP
Squirtoria: Drop+
Waver: Drop+
Gil (Caster): Drop+
Waver: Drop+
XXX: Drop+

It's a 3-5 turn clear depending on RNG. Squirtle needs 1 arts card or 2 quicks in wave 2. If Squirtle gets a buster in wave 3, it'll 3 turn, otherwise it's a 4. 5 is just with very bad card RNG.

[Katlan]

I wish Mash was a 5 star shielder!

For the final node I was doing:

Arash (75% NP starting)
Squirtoria (Drop+)
Ishtar (Drop+)
Tamamo (Drop+)
Friend Waver (MLB Drop+)
Filler (Drop+)

That was 5-7 turn clear based on RNG. Once I got enough to MLB one CE and had two extra, I then started to do

Arash (75% NP starting)
Squirtoria (black grail (non MLB))
Ishtar (MLB Drop+)
Waver (Drop+)
Friend Waver (MLB Drop+)
Filler (Drop+)

And this is a 3-5 turn depending on starting cards RNG. Squirtoria can one shot Atria but its not consistent for some reason. If Ishtar gets an arts card on round one then its 3-4 turns. Its 4-5 turns if I gotta wait for that arts card on turn 2

Didn't really farm much this event. Cleared the shop and did about 40 boxes, haven't actually opened them yet.

FGO Website went through a little overhaul, lol.

[Katlan]

I'm sad I got accidentally spoiled about some of what happens a few months ago on reddit.

I did 56 boxes. I didn't really farm yesterday. Though when I got back from my Christmas party at like 11:40 pm I decided to do a few more rolls for NP3 Eresh and got her on my 3rd multi (I was going to stop at 3 multi pulls). That was a nice FGO Christmas Present.

[Icarian]

Eresh sure is popular, I think there's more people on my FL with her at NP2 or higher than NP1.

I farmed 31 boxes, I've not much to level and I have several hundreds of every gem so no point in farming too much considering I'm not really going to pull for much till summer.

I've managed to avoid heavy spoilers, I knew Kotomine was going to show up with the new director but that's it.

I got spoiled from a thread discussing the Babylonia Anime. Some jerk just put it in non-spoilers. Was super pissed. I still need to finish reading the last 2 chapters of Salem. I will get to that today or tomorrow and then read the prologue.

[Katlan]

The prologue was super hype. They really did a good job and I honestly wasn’t expecting nasu to have set up act 3 immediately after the remnants chapters. Makes me wonder what they are going to do for chapter 3 once lost belt is done. They have to already be working on an plan

Spoiler: show

I didn’t realize loli da Vinci appeared so soon. I’m kind of disappointed as it takes away some of the emotional impact of losing da Vinci. But I laughed at the “main character armor” comment.

[Katlan]

never though it would happen to me. this is after around 150 SQ

Nasu stated he won't be working on FGO once they finish up LB, so who knows what plans they have after. I haven't read the prologue yet, but will either tonight or tomorrow.

Grats on the double SSR.

Here's my GSSR for NA:



So, when I saw Vlad show up, I got fucking mad. He's the 3rd Vlad I've gotten from GSSR. Then Kintoki showed up, and I was like, "still meh," then the Kscope and it made it worth it. That's the 5th one. I'm probably going to superscope it later, I don't care about waiting for a 6th. I rarely ever use more than 1 at a time regardless.

Here's my GSSR for JP:



JP is limited characters only, and choose your class. Avenger/Ruler had the best odds for me, since I actually wanted 7/8 of them (only bad was Nobunaga). Completely fine with QSH. If I didn't get him here, I was going to roll for him during his rateup in a few days.

EDIT:

It's done.

[Katlan]

Damn that’s awesome! I don’t have the patience to work on CEs bombs aside organically. I also can’t decide on the GSSR. It’s either hope for an NP2 rider (medb or quetz) or tru for Sherlock (anybody else I want would go to NP2 or NP3)

[IceSylph]

Think Cavalry side is stronger than Knights, overall. Knights has more duds, from a meta standpoint.

Contemplating taking Aerial Drive to 100 now as well. If I don't do it now, I'd have to wait until anniversary for the x3 rateup.

[Katlan]

Well I got quetz so that was a good decisions
