Dobrynya Nikitich - FGO Servant Guide 

4:46 FINO YOU CAN'T JUST SAY SHIT LIKE THAT, YOU NEARLY KILLED ME

i really love her addition to the game's roster, as a russian-speaker it's hillarious hearing other people struggling to pronounce her name

if we ever get the real dobrynya one day, i wonder if he's gonna be a catboy

Dobrynya being a cat girl still kills me since nya is the Japanese sound for a cat's meowth and pun is infinitely funny to the nipponese's minds.

If teachers incorporated this level of humor back in the days I would have been into history far sooner than later in life.

Love your lore coverage, I really enjoy learning about the servant's source material!

Dobrynya's biggest bonus is being on the same banner as another great Rider

The "Saracen Mountains" was Zabaristan in Northern Iran. The Rus attempted to raid that area and typically got killed by Chad Iranians.

Holy shit Purin To Ohuro mention LMAO

Thank you again for your lore videos Fino! They are always a ton of fun ^^ Oh and the writing and jokes whenever you can find ways to put them in the video are appreciated too! 👍

Man, Russian tales are WILD.

If you ever feel useless, remember that most dragons are Rider-classed and she is a Rider. At this point, why not just use an Assassin, Alter Ego or a Berserker?

Saracen Mountains? Saracen? Mandricardo (King of Saracens/Tatars) comes to mind, and it's strange that Dobrynya Nikitich has no dialogue for him, and vice-versa.

the term saracen was before used to any nomadic and/or muslim folk. the only place in russia where mountain muslim nomads(bashqort people or how russians call them - bashkir) live is ural mountains area. btw Mandricardo is from nearby area, since he's tatar, and tatars are the closest relatives of bashqort folk.

I’ll put some tickets and possibly the once per day 1 SQ summons on her but I’ll be saving for the GSSR and Summer.

Story time was a most pleasant surprise. Don't get that too often these days

"Screw the rules!" - Dobrynya guy,probably...😅🤷 Now I can see why Blue-eyes white is there...Great work with lore,I guess...👏

Blue eyes white dragon?

Fun lore video.

Wow, his story be wildin'

I am rolling for her, not because of meta, but because of waifu

His mother seems way more interesting than him.

I might throw 1 or 2 multis on her banner, but im not going all in. Kinda hoping I get lucky and get her and/or that other 4 star coming next month when I roll on the Valentine's banner. It is cool that some lucky people will end up pulling her from the starter gacha after the next refresh

A cat is fine too

Do you plan on ever doing a review on taigong?

I want her but I’m saving for darkness

I prefer to ride the dragon honestly! She seems perfectly solid. I just don't have much left over after rolling especially for more of the dragon.

Catgirl Fubuki is alright, but design-wise really good aesthetics by Robina.

I need to skip Melusine because I have low quarts. No way I'd waste them on fubukis other sister

think imma just skip and get her with the sr ticket in May

I am a simple man I see Axe user i roll (also helps that she isn't Berserker as most other Axe user)

Hey look: Is my free SR in I already forgot when we get the ticket

Man, they really missed the opportunity for her to take out a funny hat (preferably Castoria's) and wack the enemy 5 times lol

If I have 300 sq should I roll np3 Melu or keep saving for next anni+summer?

The lore was funny. Am still asking what the lesson of the story was. Most of these have a hidden meaning right?

love the og legend and she looks cool but i absolutely don't want Tai Gong

Roll for foofy

Well login gave me enough for a ten pull and I got her

I don't know why I kept thinking she's an ssr Edit: but blue eyes ultimate is a good enough reason to roll for me

Kaiba will roll for her, no doubt.

Wasn't gonna care about her... Until you told the story, which is damn hilarious just how dumb the original character was.

I think if they ever buff George to give him even just a little bit of party support, Servants with massive damage mods like Dobrynya will become a lot better. Even now, the 80% damage mod for 3 turns is pretty worth it. Just in general, I think this Servant is fairly underrated as a boss-killer. Putting aside her damage mods, her combination of buffs give her really good face cards and crits, especially on her NP turn due to both the buster buff and defense down stacking for the rest of your chain. The guts and debuff immune also help, and she's one of the few Riders with ignore defense that I think actually work well in boss fights. But I have her grailed on JP, so I'm really biased.

dude really put his ffxi oc into fgo

0:11 is that a good thing??? Do u see this beauty, pls god spook me so i dont waste what sqs i have now

Shes a cutie

I already have too many riders at this point

Its weird to me that this event gives 2 Riders banner wise. Especially when one is clearly meant to be more important.

In the story they say that Dobrynya Nikitich is from Kiev; wouldn't that make them a Ukrainian Heroic Spirit and not a Russian one?

...Russian myths are weeeeird man.

Wait, so basically she is a gender bend version of the real Dobrynya? I know that gender bend is common in FGO but did not expect that from the story.

Starting to lose patience with FGO. DW/Lasengle is just incompetent at this point. They flubbed their launch of the Sakura Taisen mobile game, so I'm leaning more towards the idea that FGO, as a game, is only as popular as it is because of the Fate franchise. The only inch I'll concede to that is that the Sakura Taisen game had Hideo Baba involved. The gacha rates are terrible, handout SQ is scarce to nonexistent, and the game mechanics are meh at most. CQ events are basically just puzzles, and content rollout has halted to a grind. Outside of seasonal events, story barely progresses in a year. They couldn't even be bothered to make discreet gacha pools for Servants and CEs - which, let's be honest, do the game a huge service even if they have to jack up the Servant gacha roll price. If Nasu partnered with any other company, we could have been in a better situation. If Yostar got involved, we'd be assured of fair gacha rates with decent-to-generous handouts, regular content updates, and L2D skins galore. If it were Mihoyo, Fate would be vastly more popular now due to Mihoyo's focus on marketing. But no, we're stuck with Aniplex, DW/Lasengle, and mf'n Sony with almost no experience when it comes to gacha RPG mobile games - and even if they did, they're either obscure or discontinued. Yostar understands that making characters accessible is a winning strat if the main thing to sell are in-game cosmetics. To date, I have spent almost an equal amount between FGO and Yostar (Azur Lane, Arknights, and Aether Gazer), but am more satisfied with my purchases from the latter. FGO of 2020, spent close to $200 during Christmas and got not a single Bradamante; Azur Lane, spent less than that, and now I get a rotation of L2D Skins on my home screen from my favored faction Iron Blood (all of them Oathed). Spent some amount on Arknights and am happy with Kirin Yato (after hitting the pity roll) and Surtr (from the GSSR tix); in AG, got my guaranteed functor and put it on my Jin-ei. That being said, I certainly hope Lasengle would do more. I think part of their failings is their lack of insight and their poorly designed data-collecting methods. Their surveys are poorly designed, that it doesn't really give them any useful insights as to how to improve their game.
