#Fate SR Caster

[kubominero]

Akudama Drive brings me so much nostalgia, wanted to do a fake screenshot with some characters I love

[dingostrash]

I finally got to Circe in fatesr! She's so silly❤️

[lanliingwang]

suddenly remembering that one chinese-language F/SR collab fic featuring Team Archer as the protags but oberon and castoria were also companion servants and oberon encountered f/sr caster at one point.....uuuuu....I need to get back to properly reading that fic bc oberon and f/sr caster's potential dynamics have been on my mind again...

[hasmashdoneanythingwrong]

It’s kind of hilarious that the original Samurai Remnant Servants were, iirc, chosen specifically because there weren’t really any plans to add them to FGO, but Samurai Remnant’s sold well enough that a crossover that adds several of them to FGO is pretty much guaranteed.

So obviously Saber would be the SSR, because Protagonist Servant Privileges, and I could see Iori being the welfare, so then the question I have for y’all is:

[emperorbubblegum]

This is gonna be another long-ish spoiler post for F/SR, so don't click if you haven't learned Rider's True Name yet

Also slight spoilers for Fate/Extra CCC Foxtail and maybe Shimousa but those are old enough that I doubt people care

I really need to hear the opinion of someone who doesn't know much about Fate play Samurai Remnant. I feel like most of us where able to guess a lot of the new Servants based off connections they had to pre-established ones. Rider's probably one of two exceptions because her reveal is supposed to be this huge "what the fuck" moment - and it is, but I feel like that mostly hinges on the player knowing Fate's version of Minomoto-no-Raikou.

Ushi Gozen has been teased for years. Raikou's always been one of the many Servants that mentions how her Berserker Saint Graph isn't the only one we might aee of her (edit 1: I didn't play FGO when it first released so I didn't know this, but apparently Ushi actually shows up in the same event Raikou's introduced in). In Foxtail, we see her used as a prarallel to Suzuka, since both have connections to Oni. The most prominent tease is in Shimousa, where we actually see Ushi Gozen appear, but with the same design as Raikou for budget reasons I guess (edit 2: No we don't, that's just Raikou, but she has the Rider class so I misremembered her there as Ushi Gozen). And now she's actually here! She gets her own game! And she looks...

Girl what the fuck happened to you

I really like both of her designs to be honest. She's one of the few Servants to be wearing actual samurai armor, and she's the first to wear the helmet too I'm pretty sure. Then after Saber kicks the shit out of her, the armor falls apart and we see that she's in a much worse state than any of us expected. Her hair's cut short, her eyes are dead with noticeable bags, her skin's paler than it was before, and she barely looks like she's eaten anything. Those last two could also be said about Raikou (Raita for the love of god learn to draw human women properly) but on Rider they're noticeably worse. Also she seems crazier than her Berserker form, albeit a different kind of crazy.

When we fight her the second time in Chapter 5, she shows up with these awesome robot-like spider legs reminiscent of what Ushi-oni are usually described with. She doesn't look human because her humanity was seemingly beaten out of her. Raikou tends to suffer from what I like to call "the Altera Problem", where if used right she can be a really genuine and badass character, but 90% of the time she's used for jokes and to get people's dicks hard. However in things like Foxtail, or Shimousa (which is even more apparent in the manga), or Heian-Kyo we get to see her for how she really is, which is A) terrifying and B) a hero worthy of going down as one of humanity's best. Rider is only that first one. No jokes, no big tits, just pure unadulturated "you're gonna die" energy.

Rider's the first Servant we ever see in Samurai Remnant. She's the first one Iori encounters, leveling his house in the prologue and acting as the tutorial boss to show the player "hey you can't fucking take these guys on", and in the teaser trailer (which shows that scene) she's one of three Servants who are actually shown to us - the other two being SR's Saber and everyone's favorite bisexual dimension hopper, Musashi. I could write a whole other post about Shousetsu and Iori (maybe I will who knows) but Rider follows their dynamic. She's a strong parallel to Saber. Fuck she basically is Saber if they didn't have people like Ototachibana-Hime and Iori to keep them grounded.

All of the new Servants are super cool (with the exception of Caster that bitch ass nerd), but I think Rider's possibly the coolest. I mean, I've been wanting Samson since I got into Fate and you haven't seen me make any real posts about him because Minamoto-no-Raikou, one of my least favorite Servants, has got me in a vicegrip. I don't know if she's my favorite, but I'll definitely be saving for if she ever comes into FGO

Fate/Grand Order Merlin Pickup Summon Banner

The Part 2 Chapter 6 Conclusion Commemorative Pickup Summon series of banners just started in the Fate/Grand Order (FGO) mobile game.

This is to celebrate the conclusion of "Lostbelt No.6: Fae Round Table Domain, Avalon le Fae - The Moment a Planet Is Born".

The Part 2 Chapter 6 Conclusion Commemorative Pickup Summon comes with 3 banners. These banners and the Servants they feature are as follows:

Merlin Banner

5-star SSR Caster Merlin (#ad)

4-star SR Saber Gawain

4-star SR Archer Tristan

Medb Banner

5-star SSR Rider Queen Medb

4-star SR Saber Gawain

4-star SR Archer Tristan

Caren C. Hortensia (Amor (Caren)) Banner

5-star SSR Ruler Caren C. Hortensia (Amor (Caren))

4-star SR Saber Gawain

4-star SR Archer Tristan

Medb’s banner will show up from 2023-7-24 21:00 - 2023-7-27 20:59 PDT. Caren’s banner will show up from 2023-7-26 21:00 - 2023-7-29 20:59 PDT. Merlin’s banner will show up from 2023-7-28 21:00 - 2023-7-31 20:59 PDT.

Thoughts about 5-star SSR Rider Queen Medb

After playing through the Fate/Grand Order Waltz in the MOONLIGHT/LOSTROOM×Fate/Grand Order Collaboration Event "Bedazzled! Grail Concert! Crane Returns an Idol's Favor", ended up liking Medb. Also really like the costume she got from said event.

I remember throwing like 10 tickets on the Queen Medb banner that showed up with the aforementioned event. Was supposed to be saving my pulling resources for other upcoming Servants so I really shouldn’t have done that but couldn’t seem to help it.

Unfortunately, Medb didn’t show up. Thankfully, managed to stop myself from throwing more tickets or even Saint Quartz (SQ) on the Medb banner.

When the feature that lets us get 1 non-limited and/or story-locked 5-star SSR Servant became available, I strongly considered choosing Medb. But since said feature doesn’t expire, decided to hold off on using it for now.

It’s not like I really need Medb anyway. And there are other Servants I’m also considering getting instead of Medb. She just happened to be one of my top picks.

Aside from liking her and her costume from the Grail Concert event, Medb also happens to be a story-locked Servant. This means there’s no way she can spook me or show up as an off-banner pull. The only way to get a copy of her is to roll on a banner that features her.

Anyway, at the time I’m writing this post, currently playing through “Lostbelt No.6: Fae Round Table Domain, Avalon le Fae - The Moment a Planet Is Born”.

Warning for possible spoilers for the aforementioned story chapter.

Queen Medb or a char who’s her spitting image is featured in Lostbelt 6 and, as I played through the aforementioned chapter, ended up liking that version of her too. Too bad Rider Medb has yet to get a costume that features any of her Lostbelt 6 outfits.

Anyway, the point is, definitely interested in pulling for Medb. She’s also a pretty good Rider who’s a mix between a DPS and a support.

Unfortunately, much as I want to, I can’t pull for Medb right now because there’s someone who I want more. Gonna have to skip this banner of hers and either just wait for her to get another banner or pick her as my free SSR.

Thoughts about 5-star SSR Ruler Caren C. Hortensia (Amor (Caren))

Caren seems fine. Wouldn’t mind getting her but, like with Medb, can’t afford to pull for her right now.

Besides, she has a Quick-type Noble Phantasm or NP and I unfortunately don’t have my own 5-star SSR Caster Scáthach-Skadi, the premier support for Servants with Quick-type NPs.

Thoughts about 5-star SSR Caster Merlin

I really like Merlin. Ever since I first started playing Fate/Grand Order and heard about him, I’ve wanted to pull for him. It’s not just because he’s a really good support, especially for Challenge Quests and the like.

Always pleased whenever I see Merlin show up in events and story chapters and such. Heck, I wish he’d show up more often. Always like seeing him and learning more about him.

Anyway, if I’m remembering correctly, I first started playing Fate/Grand Order a bit before the rerun of the event featuring 4-star SR Archer Oda Nobunaga. I think the Chaldea Boys event was ongoing or about to start at that time.

There was a Merlin banner that was gonna show up a few months after those aforementioned events. When the Merlin banner finally arrived, used all the resources that I had but, unfortunately, it wasn’t enough, and I failed to get even a single copy of Merlin.

Needless to say, was very upset. To make matters worse, IIRC, it was gonna be a really long wait for Merlin’s next banner.

If I’m not mistaken, Merlin’s next banner, or at least the next one I pulled on was the one that showed up in one of the summer events. Unfortunately, I once again failed to get Merlin on that summer banner.

At that time, was already feeling kinda burnt out with FGO so failing to get Merlin didn’t help at all. Was so upset that I couldn’t get through the summer event.

Didn’t feel like doing anything in the game so started just logging in then quickly logging out. Only really bothered to log in to get the daily login rewards. But as time passed - well, this happened what feels like forever ago so don’t remember all the details anymore but I eventually just stopped logging on to FGO.

Didn’t delete the game, but for all intents and purposes, I basically quit. I knew the summer Merlin banner was gonna get a rerun though. And a part of me was still interested in FGO. The story is good. So sometimes, I’d still check out news about it like upcoming and/or new Servants and such.

Anyway, to make a long story short, I unfortunately missed the Merlin rerun banner. I returned to FGO either right before or during the anniversary that featured 5-star SSR Caster Altria or Artoria or Castoria.

Told myself that if I fail to get Castoria, then I’ll just quit playing again, but if I actually manage to get her, then maybe I can take that as a sign to start playing again. Well, managed to get Castoria somehow so here I am again, back in FGO. LOL.

I still want Merlin though. He’s undoubtedly one of my fave Servants in this game. But I know that I don’t actually need him.

I mean, I’ve been able to get by this long without him, and I can just borrow a friend support Merlin if I really need him for a fight or something. Well, assuming it’s possible to do so anyway since there are fights where you can’t bring a support or you’re locked to using certain chars.

The point is that my interest in Merlin was never just about how good and meta he is. He is really good, but that’s just a bonus for me. I like him so want to pull for him and Grail him to level 100.

Merlin’s next banner was supposed to be sometime in March 2024 so my plan was to save and pull for said banner.

This Part 2 Chapter 6 Conclusion Commemorative Merlin Pickup Summon banner came as a surprise. Totally wasn’t expecting this banner, and I’m not ready for it at all, but can’t and don’t want to pass up an opportunity to finally get my first copy of Merlin. Well, hopefully, anyway.

Thoughts about 4-star SR Saber Gawain

Currently have Gawain at NP2. I like him but don’t get to use him that often since I have lots of other Sabers, and I don’t have any of his skills leveled to the max. Certainly wouldn’t mind getting more copies of him though.

Thoughts about 4-star SR Archer Tristan

I like Tristan too. Currently have him at NP3. He has a Quick-type NP and don’t have any of his skills leveled to the max either so don’t really get to use him much at all.

Don’t mind getting more copies of Tristan and Gawain, but of course, my main priority is getting Merlin.

Fate/Grand Order Guaranteed Summon Function

Fate/Grand Order now has a “pity system” but it costs 900 Saint Quartz for 1 rate-up SSR. If you happen to get the rate-up SSR before spending 900 SQ, you’re not guaranteed to get another copy even if you keep pulling until you spend 900 SQ. In short, this so-called pity system sucks.

Fate/Grand Order Pulling Resources

Sadly, don’t have enough to pity Merlin right now. Banners featuring the following Servants just recently showed up in Fate/Grand Order:

5-star SSR Berserker Morgan

5-star SSR Assassin Koyanskaya of Light

5-star SSR Pretender Oberon

Spent a lot of my tickets and SQ on these banners. Thankfully, was able to get them all but after 3 banners that were practically back-to-back-to-back, I barely have any pulling resources left.

I know it’s better to skip this Merlin banner and just pull on his upcoming March 2024 banner instead so I have more time to save. Maybe by then I’ll even have enough to pity him if I have to.

But like I said, I just can’t help it. Don’t want to pass up the opportunity to try and get Merlin now. Really don’t have a lot of resources left though so I can only hope that I’ll get lucky or there’ll be a miracle or something.

Ahh, if only the rates in this game were higher and/or the cost to pity a SSR Servant wasn’t so high.

Part 2 Chapter 6 Conclusion Commemorative Merlin Pickup Summon Banner Pulls Results

Currently have 180 SQ on hand and 1 summon ticket. Still have a few more that I can get from my present box, from the SQ fragment exchange shop, and from rewards from clearing missions and such.

Hopefully, I’ll be able to get Merlin right away. Also hoping that I can get 1 copy of the 5-star SSR Craft Essence The Black Grail.

My copy of this CE is stuck at Level 80 of 80. Need 1 more copy in order to be able to fully MLB this CE.

The Black Grail is one of the best CEs in FGO. It increases NP damage by 60%. When fully MLB, it increases NP damage by 80%. The downside or demerit is that the Servant equipped with this will lose 500 HP each turn but that’s a small price to pay for such a powerful effect.

Anyway, here are the results of my pulls on the Part 2 Chapter 6 Conclusion Commemorative Merlin Pickup Summon banner. Only gonna list the notable stuff I get though.

Started with a multi-draw. Got 2 4-star CEs and 1 5-star CE but they were all dupes. Too bad the 5-star CE wasn’t The Black Grail.

Got a silver Caster card on my next multi-draw. To my surprise, this card suddenly started turning gold. OMFG! Also, hell yes!

The moment I saw the silver Caster card turning gold, I got so hyped and excited. Thought for sure that I was about to get Merlin. Surely, I was about to get Merlin. Right? Right?

More like wrong. Unfortunately. Because the gold Caster card soon revealed itself to be my very first copy of 5-star SSR Caster Xuanzang Sanzang.

She's a new Servant but - argh! Disappointed doesn't even begin to cover this. Why? Why'd this have to happen? Damn it. Seriously, have no words for this. I'm so, so - argh!

Instantly, I flashed back to the first time I tried pulling for Merlin. I still remember getting a gold Caster card from that banner and thinking for sure that I was about to get Merlin already.

Got so hyped and excited when I saw that gold Caster card but that quickly turned to disappointment and complete and utter despair when I ended up getting my first copy of 4-star SR Nitocris instead.

Was so tempted to burn or sell Nitocris for a Rare Prism. I didn't but I also didn't bother to use her or even level her up for the longest time. Eventually, I did end up leveling her up and even increasing the levels of some of her skills since I needed a farmer and I thought she might as well make herself useful.

Unsurprisingly, was also really tempted to sell Sanzang. I didn't but argh! Seriously, why? Why'd this have to happen? Sigh.

Anyway, my next multi-draw gave me dupes of 1 5-star CE (Holy King of Twilight) and 1 4-star CE (The Vessel of Desire). Wish that 5-star CE had been a dupe of The Black Grail instead. At least I haven't fully MLB'd the aforementioned CEs yet but still.

After that, decided to do single draws. The very first single pull I did gave me a dupe of the 4-star CE called Divine Banquet.

Feels like this CE is trolling me because I keep on getting it. IIRC, also got dupes of this in one or more of the recent banners that I just pulled on. Currently already have 2 fully MLB copies of Divine Banquet so really don't need any more.

The rest of my single pulls after that were all nothing more than 3-star trash. Meh.

So went back to doing a multi. Got a gold Archer card that soon turned into a dupe of Tristan.

Then a gold Saber card showed up too and this turned into a dupe of Gawain.

Aside from those 2, also got dupes of 2 4-star CEs, one of which is Imaginary Number Attribute, which is pretty good and which I have yet to fully MLB.

My next multi-draw gave me another dupe of The Vessel of Desire as well as a dupe of the 4-star CE called Be Graceful.

Now down to 3 SQ on hand so went to exchange my SQ fragments for actual SQ and went to get the rest of the SQ that I have in my present box and as mission rewards and such.

My next multi-draw gave me yet another dupe of Divine Banquet and a dupe of the 4-star CE called La Folia.

Started doing single draws again. But I soon ran out of SQ. Should have taken this as a sign to stop pulling already, but didn't want to just give up now after waiting for what feels like forever for a Merlin banner to show up.

So I decided that I was going to keep on trying until the end. Still have some content in the game that I had yet to do and that would give me SQ so my plan was to just try to finish all of these quests and such and use any SQ I manage to get on the Merlin banner.

Was gonna keep doing that until one of the following happens: I completely run out of SQ, the banner goes away, or Merlin actually comes home. At this point, that last part seems really unlikely to happen and this is likely - no, totally an exercise in futility, but I don't know. Guess I wanted to keep trying and hoping for a miracle anyway.

When the Merlin banner was announced, was still going through Lostbelt 6. Continued doing that. Didn't skip any scenes but every time I got enough SQ to do a single draw, I'd go to the Merlin banner, hope for the best, and pull. Unfortunately, still no Merlin.

Was already nearing the end of Lostbelt 6 when the Merlin banner showed up so it didn't take that long to finish it. After that, started doing all the Lostbelt 6 free quests and the rest of the free quests from other chapters that I had yet to do.

There's a permanent mission that gives you 10 SQ every time you complete 10 free quests. So was really glad to find out that I had yet to complete all of the free quests from Lostbelt 5.5.

There's also a permanent mission that will give you 10 SQ every time you complete 10 rank up quests. Currently, my progress for this mission is at 139/140. Sadly, already cleared all the available rank up quests for all of my Servants.

Since I really wanted more SQ, actually seriously considered using the free SSR feature to get Medb now. It helped that she has 2 rank up quests and 2 interludes.

While trying to decide if I was really gonna do that or not, I happened to tap on the Rank Up Quest button in the game. Since I didn't have any more rank ups to do, was expecting to see the text "No Quest Available" so was surprised when I saw a greyed-out rank up quest. It was Sanzang's.

Took a closer look at her and saw that she actually has 2 rank up quests and 1 interlude. Honestly, was all set to just completely ignore her for now. Really didn't want anything to do with her at the moment.

Didn't even want to look at her because every time I see her, I keep being reminded that the only time I ever got a gold Caster card on the Merlin banner, I ended up being trolled by Sanzang.

However, the fact that she has 2 rank up quests and 1 interlude and the fact that completing these quests would give me more SQ for Merlin changed everything. Her rank ups are locked behind leveling her up while her interlude requires her bond to be at a certain level for it to be unlocked.

And so, much as I didn't want to, reluctantly leveled up Sanzang to 90. Left all her skills at 1 though. And didn't bother trying to raise her bond level yet since I actually have a lot of other interludes to do so didn't need to unlock hers right away.

Anyway, after leveling up Sanzang, completed both of her rank up quests which gave me 4 SQ. Also finally cleared the "complete 140 rank up quests" mission which gave me 10 SQ. Yay for more SQ for Merlin.

Speaking of interludes, there's also a mission that will reward players with 10 SQ every time they complete 10 interludes. So far, I've completed 110 interludes and have around 30+ more that I have yet to do. So now I started doing these interludes.

Interludes have cut scenes, some of which are kinda long, so it takes time to read through and finish these. However, didn't want to skip these stories, so just tried to read fast and finish off the enemies in these quests as quickly as possible.

Time was running out though. Sadly, the Merlin banner was gonna end soon. On one hand, I'm getting burnt out with all this grinding and the situation seems hopeless so maybe it's for the best for the Merlin banner to end aready. I can just try again the next time he shows up.

But on the other hand, after grinding so much, I really wish I wasn't leaving this banner with nothing to show for it. Sure, the Tristan and Gawain dupes are fine but they're not Merlin. Sigh.

Anyway, soon, maintenance for the Grand Nero Fest Summer 2023 Revival just started. After this maintenance ended, the aforementioned event began.

I thought the Merlin banner would be gone after the maintenance was over so was surprised but glad that that wasn't the case at all because I was able to scrounge up a bit more SQ from playing through more interludes and such and we also got some SQ as apology for the maintenance.

The Merlin banner was definitely ending soon though so was rushing to get as much SQ as I could before that happened.

This included quickly finishing all the weekly Master Missions quests.

Also decided to spend 5 Rare Prisms to unlock the Main Interlude Abyssal Cyber Paradise, SE.RA.PH event so I could get even more SQ although I did this before the maintenance for Nero Fest started so when I got back to the game, opted to start with some of the available Nero Fest quests first.

To be more precise, focused my attention on the 2 available Exhibition Quests. These are Challenge Quests that will reward you with 1 ticket after you clear each of them for the first time. So 2 Exhibition Quests means 2 tickets. Too bad the rest of the Exhibition Quests aren't available yet.

While doing all of the aforementioned chapters and quests and interludes and such, was also trying to increase the bond levels of my Servants. Made sure to bring the ones who were close to increasing their bond levels since you get some SQ every time a Servant's bond goes up. The amount you get depends on the bond level and even the Servant's rarity.

Was also really thankful that the monthly Mana Prism shop's ticket stash got reset just before the Merlin banner ended. This meant I was able to get 5 more tickets.

Anyway, here are the results of the rest of the pulls I was able to do on the Merlin banner before it went away:

A single draw gave me another gold Archer card which turned into yet another dupe of Tristan.

After a few more singles, got my 10th and +1 or bonus summon, both of which turned out to be dupes of Be Graceful. Ugh. Merlin, doko da?

My next set of single draws just gave me dupes and more dupes.

The only noteworthy thing that I got from my next set of singles was yet another dupe of Gawain.

The few times I actually got a Caster card, it was always silver, which was really disheartening.

It seemed like my next set of single draws was all set to give me crap again. Got a Caster card but it was silver and didn't turn gold. Instead, it just turned into my nth dupe of 3-star R Caster Avicebron. Got a 5-star CE (Under the Sun) but it wasn't The Black Grail. It wasn't even new or useful.

By now, it really seemed like all hope was lost. Even if I wanted to keep on grinding and grinding, time was fast running out. Was just getting more and more frustrated, angry, depressed, and burnt out.

IIRC, it was around this time that I got the tickets from the Mana Prism shop and the 2 Exhibition Quests from the Nero Fest event. So started using these tickets.

Soon, I was set to do my 10th and +1 or bonus summon. Saw some gold sparks during the 10th summon. Tried not to get too excited since this could be yet another dupe of Tristan or Gawain or something.

But then a gold Caster card actually appeared.

OMFG! Please, please, please be Merlin. Please. My heart was beating fast. Fingers crossed. Hoping, hoping. Then the gold Caster card soon revealed itself and -

OMFG! It's Merlin. It's actually Merlin. Yes! Hell, yes! Merlin! Finally! It's a miracle. This is so freaking awesome. Thank you, thank you. So freaking happy to see Merlin. He's finally home. Yes, yes, yes! Don't know what else to say, but definitely really freaking happy about this.

At least all that grinding didn't turn out to be for nothing. Since Merlin actually showed up, in the end, it was all worth it.

Anyway, here are some more screenshots of Merlin:

4-star SR Archer Tristan and 4-star SR Saber Gawain

Managed to get my NP3 Tristan to NP5.

Got my NP2 Gawain to NP3 and then to NP4.

5-star SSR Caster Merlin

Leveled up Merlin to 90 then spent all the Holy Grails needed to get him to level 100.

Also got all of his skills to level 10. Would have unlocked and maxed out his second Append skill (Load Magical Energy or Mana Loading) too but, unfortunately, currently don't have enough of his Coins to do that yet.

Also, sadly, since I didn't clear the summer event where Merlin showed up, I don't have the Key needed to unlock his costume or Spiritron Dress. It’s called Camelot & Co. Thankfully, this is apparently coming back, just not anytime soon.

Also missed out on the Command Code that features Merlin. It's called the Mage of Flowers, and it also showed up on that summer event I skipped. Sadly, it looks like this one isn't coming back at all. Sigh.

Conclusion

So, what about you? Did you pull on any of the Part 2 Chapter 6 Conclusion Commemorative Pickup Summon series of banners? What do you think about Merlin, Medb, Caren, Tristan, and Gawain?

My SR ticket pick from January! Late post because I forgot

[emperorbubblegum]

Before it gets too late I wanna make a prediction/wishlist post for when the Samurai Remnant characters get into FGO (because let's face it, that's a gaurantee at this point). Obviously this is going to be riddled with massive spoilers so if you haven't finished the game go do that first. I'm hiding Servant's True Names but for half of them the reasoning is their True Name, so be warned.

Alright here we go

Saber

This guy's getting in no matter what; they don't even need to be on this list. They're the lead Saber of a new Fate IP in addition to being a massive figure in Japanese mythology. They're going to be a five-star. They're going to be on the first banner of the event, maybe a New Year's banner but that'd be weird since they've implied they want to do a full event for this crossover.

Archer

So the way I'm envisioning the banners for the crossover event is Banner 1 being the good guys and Banner 2 being the bad (like how they do for most events), with an SSR and an SR for each. Saber's obviously the SSR for Banner 1 no matter how they do it, and I think Archer's pretty likely to be the SR for it too because he's cool enough that people will want him, and early enough in SR as to not spoil too many people. Although by the time we get these Servants I doubt they'll be too cautious about that.

Lancer

Much as I would love another Jalter alt, if this girl gets in she's gonna be a costume dress (cope). I love her but she's not different enough from Aveneger Jalter to warrant being her own unit (it would make money though). All of her characterization kinda relies on Chiemon so having her as a full Servant without him would be really weird (her being a costume dress doesn't keep them from bastardizing her character since costume dresses can also have new dialogue and we both know Lasengle at above bastardizing their characters for a quick buck).

Rider

This is gonna be the SSR for Banner 2. She's the biggest reveal in the game but only if you know Raikou, who's from FGO. She's also the only Servant on this list (barring Jalter and Gil on technicality) who Ritsuka's met before. She's getting in.

Caster

Okay I know Samurai Remnant played him up as this ultra big bad but like, no one knows who this guy is. As a Servant he's really cool but his whole deal doesn't get revealed until A Ray of Light, which is one of two final chapters you can get on a first playthrough. So even if you've between the game there's about a 50/50 chance who still don't know who this guy is, and the historical information about him is scarce. His wiki page has one paragraph. I'm betting he'll be a 3 star.

Assassin

SR for Banner 2. He's cool but Rider's obviously taking the limelight. I want him to be higher but I'm also like one of five Chiyome fans so I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the fanbase doesn't agree. Plus he's a dude, and even though Lasengle's slowly starting to realize most of their playerbase likes men, there's still a rampent gender bias when it comes to Servants.

Miyamoto Musashi

Please fo the love of god be a costume I will kill someone if you're your own unit.

The Boss

Same thing as Jalter and Musashi. If he gets in he'll be a costume, maybe two because of his fight attire. I'd gladly pay for a Ruler Gil alt but I want more costumesz

Rogue Saber

Part of me wants to say he'll be an SR because every time they've released two married Servants at seperate times they've been the same rank. That's not a hard set rule because the list of married couples in Chaldea is like 4 pairings long and only 3 of them fit the above pattern, but still. I could also see him being the White Day Servant for one year, and if that's the case he'd be an SSR, obviously.

Rogue Rider

I could totally see them making her an SSR because Tamamo makes bank but I'm willing to bet she'll be a 4 Star instead. The only true Tamamo Nine member we have is a 4 Star and Aria is a very good canidate for the welfare. I feel like if she does get in it'll be in an event that more strongly relates to Tamamo (maybe with a possible Susano'o 5 Star (heavy cope)). I'd kill them if they did but it's also totally possible for her to be the Valentine's SSR.

Rogue Berserker

I really want this guy to be a 5 Star. He's been someone I wanted in Fate since my introduction to it and I'm so glad he's finally here. I doubt he'll be added with everyone else, so I could see him being in a seperate event or even a story chapter. The former's probably the more likely scenario since we're no longer in the days where Lasengle just throws new Servants into the story as filler, but he does have a slight connection to Solomon (hazardous levels of cope) so I wouldn't be surprised.

Iori

Iori's another likely canidate for Welfare because not only his he a historical figure but he's also a cool as shit Fate protagonist and most of the protagonists have got in one way or another. Erice or Seig are good examples of what's likely to happen to him.

Ototachibana-Hime

Didn't see this one coming did you cunts? If - and that's a big if - she gets added to FGO, she's the third canidate for Welfare. She doesn't really have a strong enough prescence to warrant her own banner but I could see them still wanting to add her. Plus we need more Welfare supports, so she'd be like Iri, but not horrendously outdated.

Anyway that's it. I mostly did this to have my thoughts in writing but I'm open to discussion on what you all think. Part of me wants them to stay in SR where they're treated with dignity and won't be bastardized to hell and back for gacha but (for some fucking reason) I love FGO too much to not want them. Okay I'm gonna go back to not posting for a week while I work on the platinum for SR and grind Guda 6.
