#trying to have them fight but in the end douman still cares in their own way

[otaplover]

just a comic about that really cute scene on sei’s interlude

[originlist]

@caimkairos​ сказал(а) и сказала и сказал и забыла, что у меня есть субмит...:                                                           

"Why... why will you not listen to me?" They are on the floor, in this dream. A Douman that has not yet become an Alter Ego- the Douman that this Douman was born from. Clutching at the robes of one they look at like he is a saint, perhaps even a god, stared at with such envy, such jealousy, such devotion. They are crying. "Humans- they will not protect you. They will always see what is beneath the surface, in your blood. Why will you not listen to me, Abe no Seimei?! They cannot always love you! Not... not like one like you could." One who even supplicating in this moment has the claws of a monster, yet cannot even be called youkai nor oni. Something unable to be understood. Something not even half human.

"Please. They will destroy you. I know they will! I have seen you fighting in countless wars, never thanked! Against oni and demons from western realms-" A chuckle from the body Ritsu inhabits in this dream. (Because he knows, yet sees the good where Douman can only see evil.) It only enrages the one on the floor further. "Why will you of all people not believe me?! Do you think you are the only one who can divine the future?!" They stand and slam him into the wall, startling several servants who turned the corner. ("Finally, the demon attacks Abe no Seimei, eyes full of bloodlust and hatred-") There is faint sound, but this dream is not concerned with them, for they do not matter, cannot matter. "Abe no Seimei?! Why do you chose humanity over your fellows?! Over ME?!"

They are crying, something Douman never does. "Seimei... please... this Douman hates you. Envies you. Lo-" But whatever response was given is unable to be heard, snatched away by the hand that reaches around the living Douman's mouth, blinds their eyes. (It's convenient that Alter Ego is in their second ascension, to tell the two apart easier. Dripping with blood and ink like something truly unholy, like a divine being brought forth only for wrath.)

“Shh. Forget his response. It didn't stop it from getting worse, hm? Did he ever listen?" They purr, and this memory is from another time. They stand in a field, burnt, alone, the wreckage of a home in front of them. "You will never surpass him. He will never choose you, silly thing. Something ugly as you, unable to ever give in to your desires unless pushed?" The shadow, the Alter Ego, moves, cradling their living self's horrified face. "Let me in. Submit, Bei."

Only when the one they hold reaches out, does Alter Ego see the other visitor within this dream. A master wearing robes they do not belong in, the robes of an onmyouji, the robes of Abe no Seimei. The features blur, but the way the field around them is alive and lush and green instead says it all. They toss their origin point, the Douman who was real and lived and did not only hate, to the ground. (Alter Ego looks hurt, looks worried, like they could cry, but they don't shed tears.) "They will turn on you too, my lord. Do not forget that." Then, into flames, they vanish.

They can’t control their voice, even if they try there’s no words that come out. The body they’re in listens to this plea with what is at most ‘awkward discomfort that can’t wait to find an excuse to vanish’. Ritsu watches like a third party and is held down to only wanting to do something (never really been good with people crying, it’s too contagious, always makes them fret). The body they’re in won’t move, though, no matter how much they want to reach out for the Douman that isn’t the one they know. The body’s still, watching Douman who looks at them like they shouldn’t.

(They know this isn’t ‘their’ Douman even before the one that is appears. The Alter Ego wouldn’t show emotion like this and maybe couldn’t, openly.)

Ritsu gains some control when Alter Ego appears and recognizes them. It feels like something is released, and they get their face back. They’re able to breathe properly without sharing the same space with another form. A step is taken towards both Doumans, hand raising to them, before Alter Ego casts aside the living and turns to Ritsu with something pained.

And then they vanish. Ritsu is left in a field in a place and time they don’t know, with someone who wishes they were another.

Ritsu would prefer not to take Seimei’s role. It feels improper, disrespectful somehow, or at the very least unhelpful. Not much they can do about that, though, when they’re here in his robes. They glance at their hands -- they’re theirs again, the familiar scars and short nails, and they assume their face isn’t anyone else’s. They speak quietly, half to themselves, as they approach where Bei Douman is shoving themselves up, regarding Ritsu warily. “I keep ending up in your dreams as a role I’m not qualified to play, huh? Give me a script next time, so I don’t disappoint.” Ritsu laughs under their breath, and at least this is in their own voice now.

It does make them strangely sad, though they know it isn’t their fault that they keep being asked to be something else if they want to help. Well, that’s the usual case for things lately. Every Crypter and Lostbelt wants Ritsu to be someone else, too. Maybe that’s just life.

“I’m not Seimei, as I’m, uh, sure you noticed. Sorry about that. My name’s Ritsu.” As they speak, they sit near the Douman on the ground, offer them a hand if they want to sit up. “I’m that other guy’s... friend.“ Put it like that, sure. Close enough to not be overly worrying or entirely inaccurate. “I can’t speak for Seimei.” That’s part of the problem here, that they’re a replacement for something they aren’t going to equal.

“But I got in a war that might be endless, and my Dou-kun is worried, too. I feel bad about that, y’know? But I can’t stop what I’m doing. It’s about protecting a future for humanity. And humanity sucks sometimes. I know you’re gonna say something like ‘they’re cruel, they don’t deserve the Seimei I love’. Maybe they don’t, but it’s not always ‘bout what people deserve.” Ritsu looks down, trailing their fingers through the grass at their feet. Maybe it was a kindness that it was returned to this, instead of staying at the time when it burned. Maybe it was intentional.

There’s a field here, with grasses that are short enough to sit in, because someone made it like that. Someone had to weed and plant and cut it. Maybe to use for farming later, graze their animals so they could provide. Maybe someone just wanted a field because they liked it. Either way, there’s a human kindness to it. That’s an act of love, as well, the choice to help a family or town.

There is that humanity as much as there is the humanity who burned this place in a future or past that was shown only for a moment, but that Ritsu isn’t foolish enough to ignore.

A bug meanders over a blade of grass. Ritsu  taps the base of the blade and watches the bug take flight and disappear. “I know humanity can be cruel and harm each other, and can choose to hate things they don’t know. But it can also choose to be kind. I think that’s important. There’s a beauty in people choosing to be kind. When I meet someone while I’m traveling, they have the option to tell me I’m not welcome and the option to welcome and help me out. Usually, the latter happens. And that’s... it’s a mark of being loved, and humanity’s ability to love, that I think is worth protecting. I go to war and I fight so that there will be somebody who’s able to choose that, and someone else who will receive that kindness, and so the people I care about might get it in their future. Not just because I want to be appreciated or safe as an individual.”

Gerda never needed to let them in her home or give them food and her full faith. And back at the beginning, Drake never needed to drag them into her crew and make sure they were taken care of and given an example of how to challenge the impossible. Once when humanity was still around and Ritsu was younger, they met someone at a supermarket who took the time to teach them how to tell a ripe persimmon.

“If I get turned against, then I get turned against. I still wouldn’t regret protecting people. Plus, hm.” They turn to Bei with a smile. “It probably sounds kinda backhanded, but being worried about is a way to be loved, too, so when my Douman worries about me and wants to try and scare me off the battlefield, it’s still a thing that makes me feel cared about, and then I’m still determined to make a future that can welcome you guys with kindness, too. Maybe Seimei agrees with me, so he’ll go to war among people who won’t thank him, because he has people he cares about and who worry about him. To choose humanity in the hopes that humanity might be able to choose kindness and choose to welcome his friends.”

Is that too simplistic, or childish? Ritsu feels like the answer is probably, that it’s too naive to use ‘love’ so freely and their worldview will get them let down some day. But it’s also not proven wrong, really, and it’s enough to let them walk forward. “This is just a dream. But, still, if there’s a you that wakes up instead of vanishing here, I hope you don’t wake up feeling forgotten. Don’t worry, no matter what happens, you won’t be thrown away. There’s still a part of you left in the future, and I’ll never abandon that.”

For what that’s worth, anyways. It’s only a piece of the living Douman that remains, and in the hands of a stranger no less, but it’s still a piece with purpose and a place. They wave their hand against complaints that haven’t been voiced yet. “I know, I know, it’s a consolation prize. You want that from Seimei, and I’m not him and won’t ever be. But he has his reasons, I’m sure, and the humanity he chose can still welcome you, too, some day.”

Seimei’s Singularity Part 1

Alright, I’m gonna ramble about my idea for the Singularity that allows you to summon Seimei.

Seimei’s Singularity to which allows him to be summoned into Chaldea actually has two antagonistic forces. Initially, it is just him, using the name of Ashiya Douman to lure Chaldea into trying to come after him. After all, Douman is one of their greatest opponents, threats, and the most commonly recurring individual who stand in their way, only makes sense to get him out of the picture.

The singularity is a recreation of Osaka, where he was born, during the Heian Period. Although the notable difference is the truly massive castle at it’s center, surrounded by three mighty obstacles, two walls and a massive moat. 

Although the first noticeable thing besides the massive castle complex, is the citizens of the city. There are no humans in sight, but instead, various supernatural creatures, predominantly Oni. Many going about their lives as Humans would to a degree, but also still being the youkai that they are for certain.

They do not infact fight the Chaldea group sent to quash this Singularity, but some of them had actually been expecting them to arrive. Telling them to head toward the Castle and meet their King, ‘Ashiya Douman’. Unfortunately, they still have to Storm the Castle, as the Bridge guardian will tell them. 

The Bridge Guardian in particular, has a familiar design but not a familiar shape or face. Bearing seven different weapons and an interesting polearm, bearing resemblance to Benkei. Alongside another familiar face, Tomoe Gozen, who fits right in with the City of Oni, as she is one of them.

Eventually it is revealed that the Bridge Guardian is the True Musashibou Benkei, summoned to guard this bridge from any who seek to cross it to see ‘Ashiya Douman’.

The First Wall Guardians are more Oni once again, Shuten Douji and Ibaraki Douji, who do not really care for if you see to pass. Only they still fight you for they are Oni, and desire a good fight. At the end, as they are desummoning, Shuten laughs mentioning ‘how foxy that caster is to do this’. Now finally realizing his intentions before she returns to Chaldea.

The Final Obstacle before meeting Douman has two more servants from the Heian Period. Raikou and Suzuka Gozen. Two demonslayers, who are also not entirely human in their own rights as well. It becomes clear there is a bit of a theme in the this singularity, Non-Human Heroic Spirits from the Heian Period.

After defeating them, Raikou reveals more information on ‘Douman’. He is quite a massive trickster at times, and remembers fondly the jokes he played on Kintoki when they asked for his help once. Unlike Shuten and Ibaraki, these two do not desummon from their wounds and merely need time to lick their injuries.

It’s this information that adds doubt to the claims that Ashiya Douman is the actual cause of all of this. Which is revealed to be true once getting into the castle and making it to the top floor to finally meet their supposed prey.

Who they find is not the black-white haired Alter Ego, but a beautiful man hidden behind a veil, with Murasaki Shikibu at his side. Although he doesn’t reveal his true name, still claiming to be Ashiya Douman for the time being, and even fighting like the alter ego in question, by turning into a massive ghost-creature. Murasaki fighting alongside him as well, as to make it a bit more of a fair fight.

Once the battle is over, he laughs, amused, and is only more amazed at the strength of Chaldea. He didn’t truly expect it to be this powerful, but he is none the less pleased. This is where he reveals what was happening. He is obviously not Ashiya Douman, but his rival, Abe no Seimei. The reason for this deception was simple; It got them to come find him, rather than him finding them. But also he wanted to return the favor to Douman by stealing his name temporarily.

Yuga Kshetra Lostbelt: Verse 18~END

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand FUCKING DONE!! One Command Seal gone with luck trying not to shit on me at the final battle.... Thankfully plot wise has made this Lostbelt easier than the rest. Though unfortunately, next one will spiked up the difficulty again because of plot wise... 

I’ll head back to Agartha now that JP’s side is settled for event requirement. And part of me doesn’t want to.... *sighs* We’ll see... But first, time to end the cycle of Yuga!

Verse 18

First arrow, first wave giving you 9 Berserker Kali and its Boss in the second wave. For this fight’s gimmick, Pepe debuff 1 random enemy with Buster Resistance Down for 3 turns, and 1 of your Servants gets Buster Performance Up for 3 turns. Vitch’s occasional buff returns with a random chance at the start of the battle, she’ll deal 30k damage to all enemies.

However, you’ll received a debuff where one of your Servant receive 3037 damage at the end of each turn. The enemy will also receive the same debuff of this too.

Second arrow gives you break before the third arrow... You can say it’s the easiest fight through this whole Lostbelt. Plot reason, NPC Ashwatthama is your only Servant you can bring with no use of command seals or mystic code

Against Shadow Karna, his NP is his Extra Attack. Ashwatthama’s gimmick of this fight is Permanent, Unremovable AND Unlimited Guts that revives his HP to the Max. And also, he also gains Attack Damage buff up at the end of every turn

Karna has two HP break gimmick:

1st break: Buff with Permanent Attack Damage Up

2nd Break: Buff with Attack Damage Up & Seal Ashwatthama's NP for 1 turn.

Also rest assured, despite Karna’s final gimmick of depleting Ashwatthama’s HP 0 when you completely defeated him, you’ve won the fight 

Verse 19

1st arrow 1st wave... Your boss fight against Limbo aka Ashiya Douman in his true class: Alter Ego. His only gimmick is immediately draining your whole party front-line’s NP to 0 at the start of the fight

If you managed to have a friend support of Kama-Mara, do bring her with you for this fight as her third skill welcomes a lot against him. 

At the start of battle too, Pepe will inflict Buster Resistance Down Debuff for 3 turns towards Limbo. Then, buffs 1 front-line Servant with Buster Performance Up for 3 turns

2nd wave, your first round fight against Arjuna Alter. Immediately upon entering 2nd wave, Arjuna Alter already has his NP bar full. Make sure you have an AOE Defense NP/Skill ready against it

Arjuna Alter’s gimmick has 3 permanent buff of Damage Resistance towards all types of attacks, Debuff Immunity and Attack Damage UP.

Arrow 4, your final battle against Arjuna Alter with NPC Super Karna. You’re NPC-locked heavily by the story plot between these two. For Arjuna Alter, he still has the same buff of Defense buff towards all types of attacks, debuff immunity & Attack Damage Up

For NPC Karna on choosing him, he gets permanent buff of Damage Up, 2K HP recovery at end of every turn & 1-time Guts reviving him at 7,467 HP

Gimmicks for this fight against Arjuna Alter:

1st HP break: Arjuna Alter buffs himself with Attack Damage Up & Critical Rate Up for 5 turns 

2nd HP Break: Arjuna Alter buffs with NP Damage Up & Pierce Invincibility for 2 turns, and charge his NP gauge to max.

When Arjuna Alter’s HP reaches 60k or below, he will immediately buff himself with 1-time Guts for 3 turns reviving him at 2K HP and 2k HP recovery for 3 turns

5th and the final fight of this whole Lostbelt, you’re fighting against the Phanstmal Tree and Ashwatthama with his Master Pepe

Gimmicks:

Ashwatthama:

At the start of the fight, Pepe used his first command Seal to buff Ashwatthama with permanent Attack Damage Up and Buster Up

1st HP break: Pepe buffs him Taunt for 5 turns and additional permanent Attack Damage Up. Ashwatthama will receive another permanent buff 3-hit Damage Cut for 3 turns

2nd HP Break: Pepe buffs him with one more permanent Attack Damage Up

Phantasmal Tree:

Permanent buff of damage Resistance against Noble Phantasm & Defense Up

1st HP Break: Buff with permanent 1 additional tick of NP Charge per turn

2nd HP Break: Removes both defense buff to replace with another permanent 1 additional tick of NP Charge per turn

Last screenshot is to say... HERC-CHAN MY BABY ALLOWS ME TO WIN ONE TREE FIGHT FOR ONCE TT ^ TT)/

Verse 20

The final verse is two arrows of story mode... Which you have now completed Yuga Khestra Lostbelt

Observation & Thoughts:

Despite the strong debuff in the front few chapters.... This lostbelt is considered easier with Pepe and Vitch helping you through this

Which that said, if this is easy, Atlantis Lostbelt onwards is where difficulty spikes up again because plot really begs for it

Fondant au Chocolat is the most recommended CE along with Servant that dealts strong damage against Divine-trait Servants. Majority of the boss fights here contains Divine-trait

Ganesha aka Jinako:

There’s a reason why DW brings in Welfare Quetz-chan... Because you either need her or Ruler Martha for DPS against Jinako

Her fight can be easy if you do watch out for her unexpected NP charge from her skil and NP

Pierce invincibility may or not need often thanks to her NP effect that gives her defense for one turn

While Martha, Quetz and Astraea are viable to bring.... Other rulers are fine too whether you have your own or borrowed as support

ST NP berserker is an alternative with taunters and support to keep them alive

Pierce Invincibility CE and Fondant au Chocolat to deal more damage against her

Berserker Nezha:

The first crit fest Berserker you encounter before Arjuna Alter...

Against her, play safe with bringing Merlin, Jeanne or anyone with AOE invincibility to survive her NP and buff of ignore evasion

2nd round has issue which hopefully solve... Letting her use her NP quickly will bring an end before the final fight

Final round even with Attack down debuff on your team, you still can’t let your guard down with her own debuff of Defense down from both HP break and losing HP every turn

Or you could wait for her particular skill that demerit her HP to 1 to kill her on her last HP bar

Fondant au Chocolat equipped on female-trait damage Servants like Jack and Carmilla will be serve as strong DPS if you have either

Archer Gil to bring with his Enuma Elish against her...

Though taunter should definitely be brought against her buffs of crit fest on your team

Lakshmibai:

.... Yeah, her fight is the easiest thanks to having no NP in the first round and Pepe supporting your team too. 

But her defense up buff for 5 turns can be a pain in the ass

ST NP Archer are more than enough to suffice her mini boss fight

Asclepius:

An Alter ego or Berserker is ideal against him as his fights are always a mixed class

AOE NPs are preferred thanks to him often summoning Berserker mobs if there’s only 1 or 0 left on the field

But beware of his berserker mob that may kill your support or DPS

As usual, Fondant au Chocolat or Kiyohime CE is best to equip on your DPS against him such as Male-trait, Divine-trait or Enuma Elish damage dealing Servants

William Tell:

Definitely bring support with AOE Invincibility thanks to his ignore evasion NP + dealing damage further for those who activated it

But his 2nd round fight in Verse 13 Arrow 4, bring or have your Lancer/Berserker DPS equipped with ignore evasion CE. His 30 hit evasion is completely randomized, which you wouldn’t know when it’ll hit him

His final round, do be careful for his HP break, he’ll then be able to use his NP against you

Brynhildr will be the best choice if you have or borrowed her thanks to his brynhildr’s trait and equip with Fondant au Chocolat... Which again if you have either

Other Lancer are still the best option to deal against William Tell

Taunters will definitely be required thanks to his ST NP

Caster Limbo aka Alterego Ashiya Douman

Unlike Shimosa, you’re now facing against him in his true class. But for now, his true name remains unrevealed and you’re still fighting against him in his ghost form

If you have your NP starting CE equipped... It’ll be uneffective since Douman will drain your front-line party’s NP to 0

If possible, do try to charge NP here before your second wave fight against Arjuna Alter

Kama-Mara is definitely most recommended against him thanks to her third skill

Or otherwise, ST NP berserker or so should one-shot him if needed before going to the 2nd wave

Arjuna Alter:

........... Good god, I wish his last fight isn’t NPC-locked, because I hate those fight the most

First round, wait till Arjuna Alter to release his NP to release his fight. You aren’t able to deal a single dent onto him

2nd round fight... Have Merlin or Jeanne or any support to cast AOE invincibility/evasion at the start of your turn. Arjuna Alter will immediately have NP bar fully charged and unleashed on his turn

His fight is basically crit fest... Taunters are compulsory to keep your DPS and Support alive against him

Servants like Herc and Nero with strong Guts effect are definitely need to bring against him as last standing DPS

Third round... Karna is your main DPS, which is particularly important to keep him alive. His guts buff is extremely needed to be timed with Arjuna Alter on his 2nd HP break where he charges his NP max and buff with 2 turn Pierce Invincibility

Otherwise... This is still a fight I hate the most among the fights in this lostbelt... WHO THE FUCK THOUGHT IT’S OKAY FOR A CRITFEST BERSERKER HERE?!

Aśvatthāman & Quixotic Tree Spiral:

Front few fight isn’t a problem... His first round especially doesn’t have any buff to make it difficult

2nd, 3rd and 4th round becomes more easier thanks to Pepe helping you buffing your team and debuffing him.

But on your final fight... He can be the worst enemy along with the Phanstamsal tree.

You’re forced to focus on Ashwatthama first before dealing against the tree. Pepe’s taunt on his first HP break amplifies further on this

ST NP Lancer is more recommended than AOE on this fight, but do be careful the tree will still do AOE normal attack damage on your team

Ashwatthama’s NP effect... While taunter is needed, to make sure your taunter has their taunt skill maxed out for short cooldown time. His NP or so somehow still removes that taunt buff

Stun, Charm and skill seal are completely useless as he’s immune to them

Foreigners ST NP Servants can be brought along if you want once Ashwatthama is defeated to deal against the tree

Infant of Atlas CE is recommended to equip on your DPS on going up against the Berserker Tree

Wow... I’m finally done with this.... OTL I’m sorry it took so long, I’ve already completed LB4 long time ago. And so much things happened in real life so OTL I’ll jump back to the summer event and now trying to finish Agartha for SQs!

[fgodestinyawakenings]

EOR Shimosa Singularity: Chapter 15~END

Kinda taking a break in writing and this... Away from FGO for a breather until Oda Nobunga’s event rerun kicks in. My interest went elsewhere temporarily but I’ll definitely get back once LB4 or new event starts!

Chapter 15 & 16

Combining final two chapters into as there’s nothing much left. The first arrow is the final chance to grind for bond points before facing the final conclusion of the 3 remaining boss! 

1 Lancer Boar + 2 Assassin Ghost first wave, 3 Saber Samuari and one giant Lancer Orochi. So bring your required Servants to grind for bond in this final mob fight!

Second arrow... Where my Command Seals gone because of his fucking gimmick for this entire fucking fight! You’re facing Saber Emperiyo aka Yagyu Munemori with again, Musashi being locked for as your NPC support

Saber Empyrio has Human trait.

Gimmicks: 

Normal Attacks Removes Your Servant's Buffs.

He has a Permanent Mental Debuff Immunity

First HP Break: Gain a permanent Attack Up Buff for 5 Turns.

Second HP Break: Gain a permanent Defense Buff that Greatly Reduces the Amount of Damage Taken from Enemies' Normal Attack by 100%

Player's Front Party Gains a NP Gather Up Buff [Unremovable]

I know it doesn’t look hard to some... The most fucking annoying thing is his remove buff that also removes taunt! >.> Regardless bring your best Archer team to finish this fight

The second last battle, where you’re no longer NPC locked to fight Amakusa Shiro. Being an Avenger via plot reason, is your final fight your playable Servants in this Singularity

Gimmicks:

Amakusav has a Permanent Mental Debuff Immunity.

First HP Break: Gain a Critical Damage Up Buff for 5 Turns.

Player's Front Party Gains a Star Gather Up Buff for 5 Turns.

Second HP Break: Gain A NP Damage UP Buff for 5 Turns.

Player's Front Party Gains a Star Absorp Up Buff for 5 Turns.

With BB around since this is after CCC event, bring a party revolving her to defeat Amakusa!

Using NPC Musashi for this final fight, Saber Kojiro doesn’t have any gimmicks. Do your best to keep her alive and defeat the final boss of this Singularity!

The final two chapters are Visual Story Mode, which... The singularity has finally been completed!

Thoughts & Observation

This is actually difficult for me to say because... I delayed this so long to complete it. But quoted with Edmond’s words, “Wait and Hope” with the right Servants, it’s going to feel easy to complete. 

But otherwise immediately on the release to start the quest, it’s going to feel difficult if you ended up realizing you don’t have the right team to bring

On regards to NPC Musashi... Chronological order, this is the first they started with NPC support? If Shinjuku is tutorial mode HP bar, then Shimosa is Spartan tutorial for NPC-locked Servants for this.

I’m giving neutral as I don’t want to delve further that turned this post to a nasty anti post. She’s actually manageable if you can work around with the units you have to defeat your bosses

Hozoin Inshun

His boss fight is considered the easiet despite being support locked to Musashi. Given by the class affinity, it give players to get a feel of using her since she’s going to be locked to you in major boss fight

Skillset aside ignore evasion... Revolves buffing more and more on his normal attacks together with his NP. There’s also him debuff one of your Servant with NP seal, so careful your timing in releasing your NP

Which... By those buff if they actually stack... You’re in for a world of critfest. Yes, his gimmick already involving buff of crit chance so you want to avoid that!

HP recovery 3k per turn... With the right team, you’ll definitely be able to outdo that healing

Servants:

ST Sabers: Aside Musashi, you can always bring more like Bedivere and Caesar to back her up in killing him for DPS

Buff Removal Servants: Mainly you really don’t want his crit and attack buff to keep stacking

By traits:

Brynhildr’s beloved

Humanoid: Nightingale & Okada Izou

Male: Tamamo Lancer, Medb, Stheno

CEs:

NP Seal: He’s not doing heavy damage... But one way definitely to stop him from buffing himself

Kiyohime’s CE

Holy Shroud of Magdalene

Tomoe Gozen

Aside from DW trying to screw every player’s phone from their fire animation... This is the start of the chapter where burn debuff is stackable

Given with that sudden change for that debuff, Tomoe’s first gimmick of normal attacks inflict burn debuff dealing 100hp per turn for 3 turns

Mental Debuff Immunity preventing her from being charmed and stunned by Servant’s NP/skills

With an ST NP that adds and even buff her burn status, her skillset lacks defensive with only guts to keep her alive. Yet, majorly all are buffing her attack and NP damage, so be careful of getting your Lancer and support killed

Servants:

ST Lancer: Once again, Cu Chulainn is one of your best candidate with guts, evade and own debuff removal + heal to keep himself alive while killing her. Other than him, there’s Diarmuid and Jaguar Man as alternative DPS

ST Berserker: Not that it’s not recommended... You’ll definitely need to find one that has its own debuff removal, or a support with them removes the burn from killing them

Taunters: Aside her NP, you’ll definitely want them to take in all the burn debuff away from your support and DPS

Debuff Removal: AOE skill/NP preferably to heal your whole front-line. Otherwise on ST skill/NP, priority is your Support and DPS to keep them alive.

By Traits:

Female: Jack & Carmilla

Demonic: Tawara Touta, Raikou

Humanoid: Nightingale & Okada Izou

Weak to Enuma Elish

CEs:

Taunt CE: On your taunter to let her hit them as long as possible

Art of Death

Mochizuki Chiyome

The biggest headache isn’t her gimmick of debuffing your team on normal attack but HP break. Which, especially crucial if you need your support ready to activate their skill for defense from her NP

Thankfully it last for 5 turns... But RNG pretty much screwing you right there

Skillset has NP seal, increase arts performance, an additional curse debuff when normal attack, evasion + 1 unexpected NP charge

Her own NP also doesn’t help with HP break since it also debuff your one targeted Servant with Skill seal

Servants:

ST Casters: Medea definitely with her own buff removal NP as support and DPS hybrid to remove evasion and buffs to deal more damage against her.

AOE Caster: If you didn’t have Medea ready, AOE is still a choice since... Until Salem’s 4* ST NP Caster, most of the Caster are support or AOE. This is if you’re starting this Singularity upon release

Taunters: Again aside from debuff... You definitely don’t want her NP debuff to land on either DPS or support

By traits:

Female: Jack & Carmilla

Evil: Sanson & Vlad III

Humanoid: Nightingale & Okada Izou

Weak to Enuma Elish

CEs:

Art of Death

NP seal

Taunt CEs

Ignore Evasion CE

Shuten Doji & Raikou

Definitely the worst fight about this is Shuten’s charm and her class as Berserker for this Singularity

Raikou herself isn’t unless you actually brought Demonic Servants in your party

Gimmicks, definitely Shuten with a permanent buff that she drains your NP on normal attack and even a debuff immunity once HP break

Raikou isn’t that bad if you can handle for 5 turns of crit damage up buf

Servants:

AOE Assassin: The preferable Servants to have to wipe both Shuten and Raikou. But because aside Scathach, most of the AOE assassin are 5* and Kato will only be out once you finish this story. So if you don’t Scathach and want this for DPS, borrow either Shuten or Cleopatra for DPS

ST Assassin: Pick any for DPS with a support to buff and keep them alive from their AOE NP

AOE Berserker: Not your best answer to have... Just be careful for Raikou’s crit on HP break

By traits:

Female: Jack & Carmilla

Demonic: Rama, Touta and Raikou

Evil: Sanson & Vlad

Dragon: Siegfried

Divine: Oda Nobunaga, Arjuna, Karna, Scathach, Enkidu

Weak to Enuma Elish

CE:

Star Regenration CE: If you find yourself really lacking of it

NP regeneration CE/Increase NP generation CE: Definitely for support Servants so they can spam their NP often

Ignore Evasion CE: For against Raikou’s second skill

Versus & Fondant au Chocolat

Caster Limbo aka Ashiya Douman

The one fight I’m YOLOing because of the lack of Riders... Which surprisingly survived thanks to George, Quetz, Ishtar and Mecha Eli-chan

And considering this isn’t Ashiya Douman’s true form plot wise... It’s somewhat easier? Except this is the fight with Lahmu with that constant spamming debuff on normal attacks

NP wise being your still typical giant ghost doing AOE attack that drains front-line Servants 

Servants:

ST Riders: Ushiwakamaru and your other available ST Riders definitely recommended to bring in this fight against him

Debuff removal Servants: Definitely needed on your DPS to keep them alive to deal damage at Douman

AOE Defense Servant: Party Evasion/Invincibility for against Ashiya Douman’s NP

Undead trait: Scathach & Martha

Large trait: Arthur

CEs:

Kiyohime CE & Holy Shroud of Magdalene: For a ghost.. He still got his trait. So do equip these CEs on both DPS & Support respectively

Healing increased CE: Particularly for your healers if needed thanks to his debuff spamming on normal attacks

NP generating CE: As his debuff spams that too, you can consider this equipped in attempt to get your NP charged as soon as you can

Yagyu Munemori

........ MY WHOLE COMMAND SEAL GONE BECAUSE OF THIS DAMN OLD MAN!

Excluding permanent buff from CE and gimmicks of this fight, The worst of this is basically his own permanent buff that removes all your Servant’s buff on normal attack.

You can’t even use taunt without that getting remove on his normal attack, but timing it on his usage of NP

Aside from ST NP that debuff attack... His skillset is one thing to be careful with a more offensive and strong defense himself. Also, he definitely has his third skill to charge NP unexpectedly by 1 tick

If you think the one I’m complaining is bad... The real hell begins on his second HP break, where he buffs himself with 100% defense against NORMAL attacks!

That 2nd HP break requires you to get your NP spamming to kill him... And the NP generation buff they give feels bullshit. Because your normal attacks on him doesn’t charge your NP quickly

Servants wise:

ST Archers: David, Billy & Robin. Your best three which this round.. I feel Euryale is unfit after my 2 attempts on this fight. One is partly his evasion and her own HP... 2nd is debuff immunity which rendered her NP charm and 2nd skill. Also since Taunt is rendered useless unless timed well, she’ll die quickly. The three above at least can help each other in both surviving and attacking

ST Berserker: I really don’t recommended because your taunters won’t be able to protect them from his normal attacks. However, it’s still a good risk if you got the right party to beat him

Taunters: Though I say I don’t recommended... They are still useful on his NP because he doesn’t remove them when he used it. It mainly help doing minimal damage against your support and DPS

By traits:

Male: Euryale, Orion

Saber class: Mysterious Heroine X

Riding: Oda Nobunaga

Weak to Enuma Elish

Humanoid: Nightingale & Okada Izou

Human: Sanson

CEs:

Kiyohime CE

Holy Shroud of Magdalene, Melty Sweetheart: I’m recommending defense if you’re opting on not using taunters to equip this CE on either support or DPS to keep them alive

Steel Training

Ignore Evasion CE

Amakusa Shiro

........... The surprisingly easier fight after Munemori despite the gimmicks

Even having a class change, he’s still manageable to handle. But also don’t let your guard down with his NP and skillset

That includes the gimmicks that gives good chance of raining critfest upon first hp break, and NP damage up on the second

He has a mental debuff immunity so charm and stun effect like these will not work on him

Servants:

BB: This is already after CCC, so do bring a party revolving around her being the DPS to defeat Amakusa. Double BB also works well especially on the use of his NP... Otherwise, borrow your friend’s BB will do if you’re not able to get her

AOE Guts: More or less to keep BB and your support alive when Amakusa uses his buff removal from his NP to remove evasion/invincibility

By traits:

Weak to Enuma Elish

Male: Euryale, Orion, Tamamo Lancer, Medb, Stheno

Humanoid: Nightingale, Okada Izou

CEs:

Kiyohime CE: For BB to deal more damage on him

NP seal: Prevent him from using it 

Guts CE: An alternative choice for BB to keep her alive when he used his NP

And I’m done! Now onto a good break before grinding hell returns next week or so! Depending on Aniplex and DW’s schedule since both are dragging a little longer for dead week right now
