No one asked for this but i’m going to share my thoughts anyway.
Medusa and Carmilla carried my ass through the early fgo game. i just started this account in March or February. I stopped ascending Medusa when I found out there would be a banner with Achilles on it and I wanted to use all my Rider materials on him instead, and as you can see, my #1 boy is all the way to 100, maxed out Fous, because I love him.
Bedivere? Has a bitch slap like no other. Caesar? My secret weapon. I don’t know why I don’t see more talk about how amazing Caesar is. I chose to grail Bedivere instead because he has those big ooga booga Buster damage hits, but I think Caesar might be better, given skills and crits and all that. Lakshmibai? I freakin’ love watching her flip around and even though her NP hits like a wet noodle, her regular attacks are really good!
Sei surprised me. I call her Sei the Slayer. She is surprisingly awesome. I literally could not stand her at first because she’s so... ... ... loud and annoying. But overtime, even that grew on me. When she says Heian Beam? It’s so silly and adorable. And she mows down everything in her past. Sei the Slayer fears no Sabers. Sei the Slayer eats Sabers for breakfast.
Cu Chulainn obviously had to be Grailed. I put him in the back with Volumen Hydrargen or whatever it’s called for every fight, and he has never failed to pull through for me. He just refuses to die, and I like that in a man. First string Lancer is obviously Romulus, though. I had to roll for him; I’m Italian, he’s basically my grandfather.
Achilles. My love. I need no other Riders but you. His voice lines for selecting his NP, and then when he DOES his NP? I need a minute. (passes out). That GROWL at the end. Mmf. Of all FGO men, Orrie is hot for Achilles. Medusa and Mandricardo fill the back bench. I like Medusa better. Everything says Mandricardo is better but I just don’t get it. His best skill literally kills him. What is the point of that.
I got Waver with the Free SSR ticket. Everyone said I needed him and I didn’t understand why, but now I understand, and now he’s in every single line up. People were speaking TRUTH when they said that just having him will make the game easier. Apparently, supports are just as important as damage dealers. I never knew. I just rolled Merlin on that Sunday last week when he was up, and two of him showed up. Very excited to pair him with Bedi and Romulus and my big Buster guys. And for damage dealing Casters, Medea had me THRIVING in the first few singularities, just Rule-breaker after Rule-breaker. And I have Caster Gil. I forget about him and when I use him I’m always surprised. When I need a Caster to kill things, I use Caster Gil.
I love Franny, but I don’t understand why everyone says she’s so good. I like using her because she’s cute but she really doesn’t do too much damage. I am really looking forward to making my Penthesilea big and stronk, but honestly??? I barely use Berserkers. They’re so fragile, I just don’t see the point. I don’t know how to use them.
And those are my thoughts. I’m F2P but I’ve had really good luck. I don’t think I’ll save too much for Castoria, since I have Waver and Merlin. What I really need is a decent Assassin so Carmilla doesn’t have to do it all herself, and a single target Rider might be nice. I don’t know if they make those. Can’t think of one besides Ozy.
Anyway, I watch a lot of youtube videos to help me through the game and I’m having a lot of fun. Bedi, Sei, and Carmilla all have special places in my hearts as Servants that I had low expectations of who have just blown me away.
