#all you really need is a single target rider (or alter ego) with some support on the side and you’ll be fine you do not need to use

[tariah23]

Apparently, people were still complaining about the Demeter boss fight on twitter and were calling it “P2W,” and unfair like man, what??!?($(?

[fgodestinyawakenings]

Gameplay first:

Finished the whole main quest, so the grail goes firstly towards Quetz onee-san! XD Will definitely raised her to 90 for all EXTRA 4* classes!

Sieg-kun’s bond level up and as such, he blessed me with his 2 SQs!

Ou-sama... Yeah, it’d be more perfect that he’s grailed to 100. But he isn’t my #1 husband... At least I’ll do it for his stats! Next one is without a doubt, my baby Herc-chan!

Tamamo Cat unlocked her new interlude, so will work on it when dead week comes!

Jeanne Alter finally ready, except her skills, to start roasting people alive at LB4!

Now, Challenge quest:

My set up: Okita Alter, Quetz-chan, Ishtar & Herc-chan as DPS, support Merlin and taunter George

Not the best setup because of the gimmicks for this entire fight

『Diary of Murasaki Shikibu』 (the grimore at the back) permanent buff

Trigger Upon Defeated: 

Grants Murasaki Shikibu Pierce Invincibility (1 turn) & Attack Damage Up (1 turn) and then debuff all front-line party members with "Inflict Star Generation Rate Down (1 turn) upon self at the end of every turn for 1 turn" [Permanent, Unremovable]

Heals Murasaki Shikibu by 15,000 HP at the end of every turn, as long as this unit is on the battlefield.

Delayed Invocation: After 4 turns, inflict Stun status on a target front-line party member that lasts for 3 turns + Inflict Instant Death to this unit [Demerit] [4 turns, Unremovable]

Genji Monogatari (the grimorie at the front): 

When defeated, grants Murasaki Shikibu 3 ticks of NP charge, and then debuff all Female front-line party members with "Inflict Charm status upon self at the end of every turn for 1 turn" [Permanent, Unremovable]

Grants Murasaki Shikibu Damage Resistance Up against all types of attacks, as long as this unit is on the battlefield. [Permanent, Unremovable]

Delayed Invocation: After 4 turns, inflict Buff Nullification on a target front-line party member that lasts for 3 turns + Inflict Instant Death to this unit [Demerit] [4 turns, Unremovable]

Murasaki herself:

Upon HP break:  Increases the healing received by 100%

This is from my fight and some videos, Murasaki will always resummoned the Genji Monogatari mob after HP break at certain level 

Some fights depend on your luck, Genji Monogatari may or may not always summoned Diary of Murasaki Shikibu after being summoned

Also do AVOID bringing Demonic Servants as her skillset and NP deals higher damage against them

The fight will nevertheless end when you defeat Murasaki herself, even if her two books are alive!

Whole CQ basically summarized start nuking all of them ASAP, which majority were able to went for 2 or 3 turn killing because of the gimmicks above

I tried for that but ain’t working well for my end. Okita Alter’s AOE NP cleared the books ONLY and doesn’t give a single scratch to Murasaki thanks to that permanent buff from genji monogatari

That buff of damage resistance made her receive 0 damage

And Quetz is unfortunately not able to kill her ASAP once the books are gone...

Plus my horrible luck still remains because after HP break, she summon genji monogatari which summoned back diary of murasaki 3 times!! OTL

Okita Alter and Merlin died expectedly, but thank god to George and Quetz-chan guts in keeping them alive along with Merlin’s NP buff

But mostly... THANK FUCKING GOD FOR QUETZ-CHAN BUSTER CRIT THAT KILLED HER AT THE END! OTL

Servants to bring for this fight:

Arash

The infamous suicide NP of his is most recommended in every video I’ve seen

The ideal one to clear the two books before letting your 2 Rider Servants on field with their NP to immediately go for HP break

Also helps in bringing out your support/next DPS Servant after his death

AOE Riders/Alter Egos/AOE Berseker

Budget Riders: Edward, Alexandar, Columbus, Medusa, Red Hare, Ishtar Rider

Can be put as second alternative to clear the books when Murasaki resummoned them at some point in the fight

Medusa’s first skill & Alexandar’s second skill helps to stall time for your team if needed 

Columbus & Red Hare for Ignore Invincibility skill but not really needed in the fight because of the damage resistance gimmicks and her skillset

AOE Alter Ego: Kiara & Okita Alter

After using Okita Alter... They are welcome as alternative if you don’t have good AOE Riders

But note when to defeat the 2 books, as defeating them right when her NP charge is buffing her with ignore invincibility AOE attack... Which their own skill set defense won’t be able to save them if it happens

As they received neutral damage instead, they’ll die quicker if crit fest happens

AOE Berserker: Spartacus, Darius III, Eric BloodAxe, Paul Bunyan, Chacha, Kiyohime

While they do help greatly with their 1.5x damage, you’ll need to set up a team to keep them alive as they receive the same 1.5x damage

ST Riders/Alter Egos/Berserkers (soloing against Murasaki once her mobs are killed):

ST Riders: Ushiwakamaru, Ryoma & Oryo, Sakata Kintoki, George (Yes she is a dragon, George!)

ST Alter Ego: Meltlilith, Passionlip, Mecha Eli-chan (preferably the last one if you got her from last year Halloween rerun)

ST Berserkers: Lu Bu, Jeanne Alter

By trait:

Female: Jack & Carmilla (which definitely not recommend with 3 Caster enemy killing them ASAP)

Humanoid: Nightingale (Izou same reason as the above, but remember to find a setup to keep her alive if you want bed throwing nurse as DPS)

Weak to Enuma Elish (need I say who?)

Support/Taunter servants: Depend on which DPS setup you’re going for, but I prefer for stalling because mob 3 tick NP charge + Murasaki’s NP charge will make her spam her NP more frequently

CEs:

Origin Bullet: Equip on your DPS to deal higher damage on her

500 years dedication: For taunters mostly to stall her from NP spamming

Starting NP CEs: To start your engine early in killing the books and her with NP ASAP!

Despite the above... I’m still not fucking done with point ladder. I got another 1 million point to go... So back to grinding hell!

EOR Agartha Singularity Chapter 14~END

With the power of insanity, regret, suffering and MORE SUFFERING... This entire singularity is just going to speed run, trying to complete without needing CS. Because of paranoia that the coming Christmas event requires LB3, especially the amount of new Servant and SOME in particular screams out LB3 requirement

DW seriously wants everyone to catch up to the latest story, which hence implying... Not all event are going to be Salomon-locked anymore

Before I start... The following chapters at this point, DO NOT GRIND FOR BOND POINTS. All the major bosses have finally showed up and that's where you need your sanity and strong team composition to beat them

Chapter 14

Both arrows in this chapter, you're fighting both Megalos and Christopher Columbus. Megalos has 2 HP layer while Christopher has only 1

In the first arrow, you're only required to either survive for 4 turns or break ONLY Megalos's first HP bar.

Second however, you're required to defeat both of them. 

For Megalos 

on his HP break, buffs himself with Critical Damage Up for 3 turns but debuffs himself with Quick Resistance Down for 3 turns (demerit).

Second HP Break, buffs himself Critical Rate Up for 3 turns but debuffs himself with Arts Resistance Down for 3 turns (demerit).

Columbus

on his HP break, buffs the enemy team with Pierce Invincibility for 3 turns.

Personally, kill Megalos first because as usual for Berserker class reason and you really don't want him to receive the invincibility pierce if you break Columbus's HP bar by accident

Chapter 15

A visual story mode, so nothing much to see here except googling up for the summary ^^;

Chapter 16

The final and longest fight for this Singularity, which I repeat, DO NOT GRIND FOR BOND POINTS UNLESS YOU'RE PREPARED!

First arrow... It's actually where Confucious doing confusion fu on you and your team. Not really confusing since you've got Scheherazade and 8 mob bosses of different classes with her

Her only gimmick at each HP break is giving taunt on those mobs for 10 turns, and, she reduced damage from Servants with King trait (*stares at AUO* Yeah people like AUO or Arthur, especially Ozzy). So, you're more or less required to bring either borrowed AOE Alter Ego/Berserker preferably without the King trait to kill them.

Finally the final boss, Demon God Pillar Phenex!

Because you're going to fight that fucking tentacle pillar 3 TIMES in different arrow in two separate classes.

In Arrow 2, you're first fighting it in their Caster class. It take reduced damage from Servants with King trait and, will Charm & inflict HP reduction every turn to a random party member.

Arrow 4, your first round to survive against it after it uses its permanent guts buff 2 times!

Demon God Phenex itself:

Single target Instant-Death combined with a Death Rate Down debuff.

Single Target Charm combined with a 1 turn delayed HP reduction debuff (the affected servant will have its HP reduced once the player's turn ends).

Self cleanse, one-turn incoming debuff negation, NP gauge single tick charge.

Demon God Phenex's NP:

It will first attempt to remove any buffs [CE buffs such as Volumen Hydrargyrum's one won't be affected].

Party wide AOE multiple hit damage.

All the party members will be inflicted with a 1,000 damage per turn Burn debuff.

Arrow 5, this in particular you’re to survive 10 turns when young Fergus from plot reason reduced its MAX HP to 1 and its guts buff completely gone to kill it.

Its skills and NP is the same as before... But it has now an insta-death skill to kill your Servant, so do beware of that.

Now that this first shit is done for main quest... I’ll start immediately for SIN Lostbelt tomorrow/later tonight right after I’m back from my trip to AFA :D

Because writing this with less than 6 hrs of sleep for 2 days is just me wanting to finish this ASAP

Observation:

Apparently this Singularity has a decent habit in throwing different classes together so that you can’t use a single class to deal with them. Yeah, not even Berserker unless you got a good setup to keep them alive

Dahut mini boss:

Or aka Drake Alter, where if she had Wild Golden Hunt with her for her NP... This entire boss fight with her is practically screaming chaos if she decided to buff it with pierce invincibility

Ideally Carmilla and Jack are best against her for Assasin class

But if you’re starting this way later like now, Okada Izou is subsitute to bring in for his anti-humanoid skill

Alternatively any assassin will do to kill her

But when dealing against her with Hydra, do bring a Lancer for main DPS with a good composition of a team to deal with them both

She isn’t that difficult so I considered her more of a mini Boss to deal with before the biggest fish

Wu Zetian:

If you have Scheherazade before starting this Singularity, she’s the ideal Caster against her. Wu Zetian possess the king trait with her so Scheherazade can deal more damage to her

She herself isn’t that much of a problem from her skillset wise other than her own healing and removable defense down debuff

Only problem you’ll need to be aware is her 3 tick NP gauge AND her increase of crit damage after using her NP

Her NP also has a removable poison debuff so Medea Lily can be brought along if needed

Otherwise general Caster should work, and preferably ST NP Caster to deal with her more efficiently

Penthesilea:

Basically where DW decided to kill anyone who brings Heracles-chan as a last resort due to her third skill targets to Greek Mythology Male Servant

Or actually specifically in lore wise, it’s more towards Achilles if you have him on your team

As her Berserker class, she definitely hits like a fucking truck with damage and crit

Her second skill is something to take note as not only with debuff immunity but also giving a charge in NP by 1 tick for sudden killing of your Servant

For her female trait, bring Carmilla or Jack ideally to with her

If you’re starting like now for this Singularity, Foreigner Servants and Izou are very recommended in dealing with her

The SSR Main Servant Scherherazade too as well for her NP and skill against King-trait Servants

Karna, Arjuna, Scathach, Enkidu, Oda Nobunaga & Ruler Martha, and AUO respectively for their NP/skills against Divine and Weak to Enuma Elish trait

Telsa & Raikou for her Earth & Sky trait

Siegfried-George combo is also recommended if you want Siegfried’s NP to deal higher damage against her

If you don’t have any of the above, bring more taunters and healers in both CE and Servant to keep the damage away from your main DPS Servant

Support like Jeanne and the Great 4 Casters are welcomed in supporting your main DPS

Overall until Chapter 13, majority of the fight requires you to survive until you break her first HP layer

Megalos & Christopher Columbus

In general of Megalos, his own taunt debuff to your Servant is stackable. Taunters like Leonidas and George are perfect to take in that debuff from your main dps

On my first post on Megalos, I’m completely wrong, he doesn’t have his Nine Lives NP for this NPC boss fight. His NP is a very high damage AOE NP that can be blocked by evasion or invincibility

But, he’s still same as Heracles with the same weakness as before

Euryale for usual being most recommended against him as a budget 3* due to her NP

Others such as:

Greek Mythology Males: Penthesila Her first gacha appearance practically screamed to raise her ASAP just to deal with him with further damage. Her own skill debuff immunity prevents her from being debuff with taunt. But, her weakness is also her own class as a Berserker that will kill her ASAP

Humanoid: Nightingale & Izou (Only available after 2018/2020(estimated if no changes in schedule))  Nightingale’s own skill does harder damage against him with humanoid trait. Also, her NP provides good healing when needed. But once again her downside as a Berserker class will kill her faster

Male: Orion, Tamamo Lancer, Stheno and Medb

For Stheno, you can pair her with Euryale for a charm-locked combo

Orion, Tamamo Lancer and Medb with their own ST NP will definitely kicks his butt big time!

CEs to pair with them generally is still Kiyohime CE for damage boost

Divine: Karna, Arjuna, Napoleon (only available after release of LB2), Oda Nobunaga, Ruler Martha, Scathach and Enkidu

Scathach and Enkidu for stalling if needed since their NP will stun him against his Divine Trait

Karna and Napoleon for higher damage against him

Oda Nobunaga both version are great in dealing with him for another alternative. But Oda Nobunaga Archer more recommended if you’re not able to get her Berserker version, as her Archer is a free welfare Servant

CE to bring:  Fondant au Chocolat or Versus for higher damage against Divine Servants 

Large: Arthur Pendragon

Once again after his limited appearance in Chaldea’s Boy Collection, his own third skill will give him great boost in damage against him for his large trait

AUO for Enuma Elish, Telsa and Raikou for Earth & Sky trait

Other CEs: Holy Shroud of Magdalene More for your taunters to keep them alive longer if needed when dealing with him

Christopher with Megalos

His own skillset and NP, except for a guts buff that charges his NP unexpectedly, isn’t really a problem

But because of his dangerous pierce invincibility that buffs his whole team when HP break is a big threat

Heck, his NP can actually be blocked with evasion!

Against him, I personally go for a stalling/total defense with Mash, borrowed Jeanne and MHXX + Kiritsugu for DPS

Or actually go for a setup that generates NP fast if you want Jeanne to be able to use invincibility against both of their NP at the same time

RNG plays a part which I’m thankful that by the time after Megalos is gone and Christopher’s HP break was at a good timing that he can’t do it with his NP

Otherwise, if he’s alone, he’s generally not a threat until you got a Berserker with him

Scheherazade & her mobs

Ozzy somehow becomes a not-really recommended Rider to bring because of his king-trait against her

Or actually any Servant with a King Trait isn’t recommended to bring against her

Male Servant will have a problem when dealing against her 2nd charm skill as it’s an AOE skill against all Male Servants

Has an AOE NP that deals extra damage to king/queen trait Servants

As this is after Fate/CC collab, borrow Alter Ego Kiara for AOE NP to deal with her and her mobs. Some of her mobs are under the weakness of Alter Ego

But you’ll need taunters here without a doubt because the neutral damage from the mobs will still hurt like a bitch

If you don’t have Kiara in your friend list or Servant Roster, find/borrow an AOE Berserker to kill them quickly

Phenex

General

Own skillset:

Voice of Allurement / Coming out from My Mouth: Inflict "Charm" Status and "HP Drain after 1 turn" on a target. (1 turn)

Droopy Eye: Inflict "Insta-Kill Resist Down" status to one target. (3 turns)

The Time For Rebirth is Here: Remove all debuffs from self and grants self debuff immunity. (1 turn) Charges own NP Gauge by 1 tick.

Own NP:

It will first attempt to remove any buffs [CE buffs such as Volumen Hydrargyrum's one won't be affected].

Incineration Ceremony : Phenex (NP) Deals damage to all targets and inflict "Burn" status to all targets. (5 turns)

For my fight with it in BOTH Caster and Ruler class, it’ll always use the skill on third bullet point before it uses his NP the following turn. That habit is one where if you do face, you’ll have a lot of problem to stall him if you don’t have buff remover in your team

I’ve been lucky for insta-kill for both fights since none of them got it from Phenex

The first bullet point of its skill can be RNG dependable. If it hits your Servant that about to use their NP, it’ll stun them for 1 turn before draining

Caster version

Your budget Riders who got King-trait like Boudica and Alexander are preferably not recommended to bring for this fight. It has a permanent buff to take lesser damage from those with king trait

Rider except the 2 and welfare like Santa Artoria are viable to bring, especially those with ST NP

Origin Bullet if you have to deal more damage against it

Vessel of the Saint if needed to have your main DPS not be debuff by charm

Ruler version

For its first round in arrow 4, you’re required to survive until you cleared 2 of its guts buff

All Guts buff revived it at 100% HP

Second round in arrow 5, you’re to survive at least for 10 turns until Young Fergus debuff activated + his own guts buff removed to kill it

Like first round, its Guts buff revived it at 100% HP per activation.

But Young Fergus’s own debuff against it will lowered its Max HP every time it triggers

Borrow/Use an ST NP Avenger like Jeanne Alter and Lobo to kill it as your main DPS

Or if you’re starting way later especially now, you can use budget Salieri to work with borrowed avenger to kill it more quickly

Taunters and healers are welcomed especially taunters to steer the charm debuff away from them

Healer like Hans or Merlin to keep them alive to deal and survive for those specific requirements

For Hans that I brought him, I had him with Demonic Bodhisattva CE so that his NP heals more for both Salieri and Jeanne

Apparently, Mash’s invincibility skill on your Servant isn’t removed when it’s about to use its NP

But his burn debuff can sting like heck if it does outdo your healing per turn on your Servant

Otherwise for both Ruler version, do setup a team to help surviving against the demon god
