TBH I only log on from time to time nowadays but my general guidelines in no particular order are

  1. Don't feel too pressured to complete events or grind for limited servants
  2. Rerolling is an option, I would probably go for Herc if you do, but it's not necessary
  3. Save for the characters you want even if it takes a while for them to come around, the game is generally not difficult and friend supports can carry you early game
  4. Don't spend too much money, maybe stick to the guaranteed banners or infrequent SQ if you do decide to open the wallet
  5. Arts loop supremecy

The only reason I even did the new year's event was because I was only one away from finishing it

I log in every day since it's a minute long task and it keeps me occupied on the toilet

It's fun to keep me occupied after dinner, and I get more content about fate characters

Would get burnt out if I did anything more than this, best enjoyed in moderation

If you're aiming to breeze through the story, try to build 3 turn set ups. It'll get you through a lot of the filler battles where it's just 3-3-3 sets of mobs. Berserkers are great for this since you always get the class advantage and if you're spending 1 turn per battle, you're berserkers won't get hit anyways so survivability isn't an issue.

It might be a bit hard without any support servants that have at least a 50% battery though (Castoria, Koyanskaya of Light, Waver, Skadi, Oberon). Depending on how you build it, a friend support might work.

Arash is an easy first turn clearer despite being an Archer, just make sure you have his 3rd skill levelled for the NP battery and put a CE with at least 70% charge. If you don't have one, you can consider levelling his append skill that grants 20% NP charge at the start. However, that requires quite a bit of resources. Chen Kong is also an alternative but I haven't used him myself so I'm not sure how to build him to be honest.

Ah I didn't think about berserkers for quick sweeps, maybe I should be finding more of them specifically for this, haha

I'm still at the part of the game where most battles are a breeze so I haven't got a proper servant strategy, but I ran:

  • Lanling Wang
  • Achilles
  • Nitocris

I also got Rasputin recently but I'm not sure if I should replace a servant I have or just keep it as-is, maybe replace it with Achilles because holy shit, Rasputin does crazy damage when it comes to it

Thanks for the tips

If it works, it works, although I recommend making sure that you have at least a fully leveled servant of each class at the start so that you can deal with whatever classes the game throws at you. And it would also be pretty helpful to leave some servants that you don't use in your back line to get them to bond 5 to unlock interlude and strengthening quests that can give you more quartz even if you don't need the skills from them. Some of them add some cool bits lore wise too. There's also a battle at the end of the singularities where each servant gets an attack bonus based on their bond level.

On a side note, if you're on Android, I highly recommend setting up FGA for farming events when they happen. It helps a lot.

If you need a friend support, feel free to PM me your friend code.
