"HELLO HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE FIERY GODDESS"

"I try, heh! I'm glad you liked it! You're fun to talk to." Haruki virtually shook with excitement, however, at her next words. "Ooh, you'd really take me flying? That's amazing, thank you so much!" He actually popped up off of the bed and jumped up and down a couple times in his eagerness. "Let's goooo, this is gonna be awesome!" He skittered out of the dorm at high speed, actually passing the person who was going to be flying him around.

mrgrgr are you sure you want to keep myrdwyn waiting, she might shatter the fourth wall with her head

"Hiiii~ It's nice to meet you, Baixue! Haha, I said your name was cool, and it means snow. I've never seen snow but I know it's cold! I suppose you know more about that than I do, though, since you lived in it and you're named after it and stuff." Somewhat abruptly, he transitioned to a position on one of the beds, landing with a fwump and the creaking of bedsprings. So what kind of cool stuff can you do, Snow?" He giggled a bit again, highly amused with his own wordplay. "Ooh, can you make blizzards and stuff? Nah, that'd be way too stereotypical. Oh, I know, can you like, control water? I hope SOMEONE can control water, everyone around here thinks fire is super fun, haha! It's way too hot at home, do they really want to make it like a boring old desert? Although I guess fire wouldn't make a place a desert, just heat it up a bunch..."

on bay12 listing enemy stats is standard practice, so

i cant read maps ok

Um, I'm moving OFF of a forest tile

I'll just sit over here, being a physics major

"This is the opposite of lucky!"

Hoshiko gritted her teeth. The battle was starting to get rough; Klaren had gone down and they just didn't have enough people to fight off all of the enemy soldiers at this moment. She'd have to act now. "Klaren, I'm right behind you! I won't let them take us down!" She tensed up, running forward almost straight at the enemy soldier. She brought up her bow and sent an arrow flying at the nearest pegasus rider, preparing herself for the incoming strike of her foe's lance. G10, shoot pegasus, curse RNG for not giving me STR levels

for the ingame perspective: i'm a fully endgame player. I've beaten Camelot in its entirety, I beat all of the Nero 2016 challenge quests (the last one without command seals), and i've played every single event since the game was launched. Gilgamesh, Cu Alter, and Minamoto no Yorimitsu have no damage issues whatsoever, unless you've matched the former against Lancers. Gilgamesh has Divinity, a high Attack base, and Charisma A+ to boost his offenses even further; his post-interlude NP easily surpasses the damage of basically every other one in the game given the right conditions. Your experience is not evidence; mathematically these servants are superior. Nero is good in both forms, don't get me wrong; Bride is one of the better 5* Sabers due to her solid skillset and single-target Arts NP making her well-suited for NP-spamming arts teams. Regular Nero is in the top tier of 4*s due to her utterly broken revive skill, but she still suffers from AoE NPs generally not being as useful and a lowish attack stat that relies on Imperial Privilege proccing in order to compete. Cu Alter, on the other hand, has the highest base attack stat in the game and never suffers from class matchup. His NP gain is excellent among Berserkers and his NP itself has an excellent effect attached to it; it will quickly shred almost anything that falls victim to it. His survivability is almost as good as his Lancer counterpart's; missing a hit on his PfA is partially compensated by his Frenzy of Spirits skill delivering an appreciable offensive cut to your opponents. I can list off every Servant with a NP that hits harder than hers if you'd want, but that would be tedious in the extreme as it would be most of the 4* cast and basically all of the 5* cast barring outliers like Amakusa Shirou and his wet paper towel of a NP. Lorewise... Her arena is pretty stellar, yes. But so are a lot of Noble Phantasms. There's nothing that gives Nero the ability to, say, automatically survive an Excalibur (in fact, even if Nero lived, the fact that her arena is built on top of reality means that it could probably be destroyed by an Anti-Fortress NP, if not even stronger Anti-Army NPs.) Nor would it eliminate a defense like God Hand. Once again, smashing around in Extra doesn't determine what the lore actually says; she's a relatively weak Servant with the potential to be powerful against certain opponents that can't deal with her skillset. Which. . .lots of Servants could. Like, she would probably lose out to every Servant in Apocrypha (yes, even Astolfo. Casa de Logistilla could potentially break her arena, and with his Hippogriff he could easily evade her attacks) not to mention the ridiculousness that is the stay night cast. Additionally, no one mentioned character preferences. I didn't say Nero was a bad character or that Gilgamesh was likable. I like Cu Alter as a character but my real favorite is Siegfried. That doesn't mean Siegfried is automatically better than everyone; there are a lot of matchups that are questionable or unfavorable for him, and while he's powerful, he's certainly not unbeatable - though it's worth noting he stood up to Karna, one of the canonically strongest Servants, in a fair fight, and wasn't actually killed in battle.

Archer Herakles loses to Enkidu (the NP) and Ramses loses to Ea and GoB having a way to block his poison. Enkidu can match him, though. As far as Gil vs. Nobunaga, I personally feel that Ea has enough mystery that Demon King of the Sixth Heaven would either destroy it or wound Gilgamesh too badly to use it if he drew it

and there was much swearing, nearly throwing the console laptop, and save scumming asking the gm for a map reset

...Well, technically, Nobunaga might have a shot against him. But that depends on whether you consider GoB and/or its contained weapons to have inherent mystery to them for Nobunaga to exploit.

can you make the text legible without highlighting

one, chill a little, i meant gameplay reasons. it's pretty rough to keep up with cu alter's combination of raw damage and survivability, particularly if PfA is invested in. You can staple him into virtually any team and he'll perform at least adequately. two: nero is actually fairly weak lorewise. her NP isn't a reality marble, actually; it's built on top of reality which confers a few advantages and disadvantages. Nero herself is poor statwise and is one of the few bearers of an outright negative skill. Additionally she doesn't have any powerful gimmicks to rely on to defeat her opponents, such as Knight of Honor's versatility, Armor of Fafnir's sheer durability boosts, or something like Gae Bolg's level of reality hax.

the only thing really nonstandard about myrdwyn is her having a MAG growth and okayish instead of nonexistent res, otherwise she's just balanced

good thing i had 60 health and can kill him next turn

who needs to dodge when enemy attacks just bounce off?

and wyvern lords are just generals on wyverns hence wyvern lord is best class

surprised we don't have a Knight yet tbh
