It was always a dream of mine to have Fujino. I wasn't able to get her on her reruns, so the fact that I'll finally be able to attain her without having to spend SQ or Tickets is great.
Good video and lots of good info here. Just to add on one special note here, JP's last Salter banner was over 3 and half years ago at this point, which is both a point in favor and against taking her here: point in favor of if you really want her (and at least she is SSR level good at NP1), and point against if you're hoping to get a high NP level eventually since who knows why they refuse to give her banners at this point in spite of regularly topping SR popularity polls.
Ever since evocation became a thing, it's been pretty much a guarantee they'll bring Salter back along with her Rider version on the same banner whenever her Santa welfare gets added to welfare shop. It could happen this year even, but who knows?
@@sorashizen5130there is usually a banner added with the update featuring servants related to the welfare's , like Saber Shiki for Assassin Shiki and Osakabehime for the Mecha Lizs
Something I want to add or point out from this video. It's not very wise to pick SR servant for NP1, not because of damage, but because SR only get 50 coins, and most of these servant really benefit from append 2, like Salter you mentioned can only loop well with it unlocked, same with most others, and even solo servant want append 1. But for SR at NP1 you need bond 10 for that, which takes very long, and much worse with permanent SR, unless they're support. 8:40 Salter can also farm 1/3/x with Waver if she has her append 2 max. Saito feels even harder to use than Hokusai, because the hit based skills make you don't want to use his facecards, unless you want his damage to drop off, and his NP refund alone is nowhere near most others Arts servants that can NP and facecards comfortably, so he's actually kinda mid in total refund, and sometimes even feel awkward. I would pick Fujino for solo only, in team she's actually not very good, and her damage is actually quite bad, don't let the upgrade NP fool you, it hits like noodle. Also her 2nd skill most of the time is an Instinct. 23:40 Actually Kuro is already in Evocation, the previous one. And Ana still falls short of Kuro's damage at NP2, she'd need NP3 to beat her. Though like you said I'd probably still pick Ana at NP2. Rider Murasaki is actually the 2nd strongest neutral ST dps in this list, and even among the the top of all rarity infact. In an Art team at NP1 she already beat NP5 Liz in Buster, and even outdamages most Extra classes like MHXX or Astraea on neutral. She's the strongest ST rider period. Summer Nobu is not that insane even against Divine, with both Divine + Berserker 1.5x advantage her damage is about the same as Erice on neutral...against everything, even without Servant niche. And that's using Merlin Vitch buster team btw, which gives higher damage than 2xVitch, but way more scuffed and hard to do multiple NPs. In optimal team with 2xVitch it's even worse. Speaking of which, I probably prefer Summer Sei than Nobu in this list, cuz she has more niches and feel less clunky to use. Faker is probably the only dps here that doesn't need append, though if picking at just NP1 her damage is not really good, even if she has decent coverage. 50:36 Ugh, this misleading spreadsheet again. Anyway, Erice doesn't outdamage most things in the game, she outdamages everything, and by a sizable margin at that. Being Art is so strong. And against Servant she doesn't rival Jalter, she infact does about twice the damage of Jalter at the same NP level if used normally in team, but you won't see that in a solo-only, no CE chart. Even NP1 Erice would outdamages NP5 Jalter without her Servant niche. Against Servant not even any Berserker in the game with 1.5x advantage can touch Erice's neutral dmg, they'd need a niche or two on top of that, and many still can't like Summer Nobu for example. Personally I would also add Caster Gil and Summer Charlotte in here, but probably not for NP1 like most others.
This is not a pin of shame, this is a pin so people can look at a different perspective from someone who watched the whole video and brought up critiques. I am not able to test out all of the servants so my takes on each of them is considerably less confident than my hot take videos. I hope this comment helps people who are interested in deeper gameplay discussion. Ok so 1. I talked about the coin thing in salter’s part 2. I apologize about missing the 1/3/x on salter as well as kuro’s evocation 3.nobu isnt as good so I only made an “honorable mention” I do agree maybe i should have considered sei, I just feel like without summer skadi she is not as strong and more people have generic buster supports than summer skadi 4. I don’t want to have to always make a disclaimer by using this list. If you watch other reviewers you should know my frequency of using that list is cut down to a minimal. Also this doesn’t detract from my point im making which is her damage is extremely overtuned and outdamages most things in the game. I think its as unfair to strictly consider the optimal comp as not considering any comp at all therefore “most” instead of a definitive “all” because I guarantee you i can find a comp with another dps that somehow outdamaged erice bc of how damage calc works. This response applies to the murasaki part as well, not denying being arts is an advantage (im pretty sure I did say that in the video) but just, im not gonna strictly consider double cas comps vs double koyan comps vs double skadi comps especially for boss killing scenarios 5. So the part about fujino is exactly what i said in the video, if you just mean to reiterate sure, but this is something I already said. 6. I agree with cas gil, hard disagree with charlotte. Her damage is not good without the skillseal and while in farming if she strictly clears one wave maybe. But I find her performance in CQs disappointing.
@@PlushieMistressCaster Charlotte I feel like you can make a case for simply due to the fact that the other ST Arts Caster options are pretty ass and her skill seal applications is decently consistent.
@@user-mg4rc1qw6w the person literally didn't say anything about saito's NP refund being not enough, they only said that the refund itself is "mid", but nonetheless if you already have an NP5 hokusai it's literally pointless in a meta standpoint for you to waste the limited SR ticket on him and would probably just go for summer erice by that point.
@@cl4p-tp69 the fact that he doesn't rely on his face cards for the refund is a massive plus and this guy somehow makes it sound like that's a problem. being able to get 100% from a single enemy with np alone is "mid"? he wants him to be at 300% or what?
Okita J Soiji is *FINALLY* mine after what feels an eternity, its been a long and stupid journey trying to get her, my Ruler Artoria is now NP5, Wu went to NP3 in one of her banners, Marie went from NP0 to NP2 in her first banner, Ryoma Lancer showed up, but now I don't have to worry about her anymore.
despite Kuro being in the evocation shop i think it's still a smart choice to pick Summer Anastasia, Summer Ana has a higher chance of being buffed in the future than Kuro but who knows, maybe now that welfares are available this way they might start buffing them regularly like other servants
I love my Lan Ling. Underrated support option with great damage boosts and a rare buff success up skill. As a non-specialized support he's probably not the top pick for a high-level master, but on my relatively new JP account I'm glad I picked him for my free SR.
Lan Ling is a great 4* star support even without any rank up. Maybe they'll give him a buff someday as Caster Gil, who's his main competition, got 2 already
So you won't recommend any SR Assassins -Carmilla included- but you'll recommend Carmilla's Rider version....that and you've recommended Kriemhild & Baobhan Sith. **Carmilla's silent Coup d'etat slowly creeping in**
So many servants to collect on my end so what I did was using a wheel generator website, let it spin and the arrow points to summer Wu Zetian, now I am farming and investing in her skills, I do want summer Erice but I probably can get her eventually (Fun note, somehow the rate up for revival events gacha seems to be higher than their initial release at least on my end which is why I was able to get past limited event servants relatively easy)
Used mine on Summer Mordred. I already had most of these servants and Summer Mo was one that I wanted quite but hadn't had much luck or opportunities to roll for.
I was afraid this was gonna be for the 30M download as Kanou-san stated that : 1- he couldn't wait for said 30M download and is pretty excited about it. 2- it is going to be better than the 20M download (free SSR ticket) So when seeing the 3000 in the thumbnail i thought it was for the 30M and was disappointed but I'm glad I was wrong and this is just something extra. Still pretty excited for said 30M download and I hope I won't be disappointed.
@@perseus9535 like the 2nd comment stated it's most likely going to be 1 limited SSR ticket/1 SSR ticket with limited servants included. That would be the upgrade from not only the 20M download permanent SSR ticket, but also the 6th anniversary free permanent and story locked SSR.
@@Liolaeusu that's my line of thought as well, and if that happens let's hope it's just like this 4* tickets, just not including this year's SSRs, so basically a free Castoria ticket XD
It 2 years off and we still a 4 star ticket for NA coming eventually and I using that on sith but this one will be for the Kijyo because I want my dino
In 2 years I'll be pretty torn between Jane and Passionlip. These are the 2 servants where I failed on the 4* I wanted and got the 5* I didn't care about at the time. I even got multiple NP levels of everyone else on their banners! Hopefully Jane comes home in the next Spishtar banner so I can take Lip with this ticket.
SAlter, all the way. I've been rolling the occasional Story Gacha every once in a while since i stsrted playing, but no luck. Good to know I can get her in a couple years when this hits NA.
On the topic of Saito I actually rolled NP3 Saito last GudaGuda trying to get Himiko so I definitely agree I never use summer Hoku despite loving Hokusai (she was my second ever 5 star after Jeanne) because I feel like NP3 Saito is just a step above damage wise
Thanks, im deciding between Fujino and Erice since i think they’re not gonna get rate ups that often. Im more leaning towards Erice currently since if i do want a ST Archer, i can get Kuro in the shop and im pretty lacking in Avengers. Though in ST Arts i do have Kriemhild at NP4 and Faker at NP3, but like you said Erice does have that anti servant and curse mod so yeah. Also Erice is cute as fuck is probably the biggest reason why im leaning towards her, im gonna think about it again though.
Next year will be the free ticket 4 star sr for NA, gonna choose saber alter and in the next 2 years dont know who to choose yet. This can change with the clairvoyance of JP sever if Saber alter have a rate up.
I had no regrets with my 4* ticket, since Summer Kuro was not available it was either a meta choice like Salter or Hephastion. Since Hephastion is fairly new there's plenty of chances for a rate up, but Salter is only available in story gacha and no rate ups have had her for LONG ASS time.
@@rdwn1999 I have Kriem np2, buddy. On the other hand, Hephastion is the only offensive Pretender we have available, she has an insta np charge, hits like a TRUCK and can become a Rider for 3 turns. Hephastion wins in my book 🤷🏻♂️
@@rdwn1999 Hephastion is not redundant for me. I want a pretender that I can use offensively and she has an insta 100% battery which she can spam like crazy, she's fun to play with. Maybe it would be redudant to have her because I already have Summer Erice np1, but if I looked at it like that I would see most servants as redudant, since I already have a np2 100 Durga for arts, a np3 112 Morgan for buster and np2 100 Douman. From that perspective everything would be meaningless.
I am NA only but for the time being i think that it's probably gonna be Krim or Summer Erice. I will aim to get another coüy of Saito this year and hoepfully 2 copies of Hephaestion next year. Thanks for the recommendations!
My JP account is new-ish (beginning of August) but I managed to pull S!Castoria, S!Kama and Proto Merlin (along others), so I don't feel I should prioritize either Erice or Kriemhild. So far, after much deliverance, I've arrived at either Salter or MHXX, still haven't pulled the trigger though...
Was a tough choice, in the end l chose Okita summer coz l want an okita on my jp account. Also l took into consideration the upgrade mat requirements, some servants are hell to level up. Looking at you Saito and company. You essentially get drained entirely of a particular bronze mat just to level up one fool.
This was a super tough choice for my account. I had NP1 Salter, Baobhan Sith, Fujino, Summer Erice, and just recently Hephaestion. I ended up going with the second NP level of Hephaestion since I like her and she has just as high utility as the others, but any one of these would've been excellent for different reasons.
I pick okita souji summer since I only have saito hajime and yamanami as shinsengumi servant, and I want to utilize yamanami niche NP with shinsengumi setup.
I used mine on Summer Erice with Kriem as a close second. My JP account is a new one so she would most likely help me more than Kriem as I have Morgan on my account.
I took summer corday not because of her potentially solid damage with skill seal, but because i am a charlotte simp. Best girl stans rise up, summer corday lvl 120 work in progress
Used my ticket to get S.Okita. I was torn between Her, S.Helena or S.Mordred but decided for Okita since already had caster grandma and Saber version of mordred could potentially spook me any moment (i know im coping).
I picked Nitocris. For as dumb as it sounds she just has not come to me in nearly 6 years of combined playtime on my 2 accounts. I either had the other desirable servants or something similar enough to them. I figured Nitocris would get the most use and they're adding more overcharge mechanics to the game which means you can kill silver mobs with her more easily. Yes I know she's going to spook me next time I roll now.
Thank god fujino came when i rolled shiki banner. Now i can pick salter. Actually considering herc even though my account is strong because i still dont have him. Its crazy that my 2000+ days & 60+ ssr still no herc.
Kinda tempting to use this to get my summer illya to np5.. cause last roll attempt, got 4 extra miyus .. for np9 miyu and only 1 illya.. (and 2 more caster illya shes np4 now too )
An incredibly solid review. Agree with all of these, altho, I kinda dislike Nero on this list. Shes kinda the worst of both worlds between Salter and Barghest
Bit late or too early but i was wondering if summer melt is worth picking up once the ticket comes to na or she has a re run for the sole reason of the water field support for my nemo
This ticket will be like an insurance for me if i fail to get kriemhild when she releases, since im unlucky when it comes with sr. If not then i will pick either an extra np lever for her or summer Anastasia/Calamity Jane
I was planning to get Fujinon from her current banner, then I can go for someone else I yet to have with ticket. But after 90 tix and god-knows-how-many tickets and 1SQ and failed miserably, seems like my plan is now went down the drain.
Last ticket I get zenobia. I want to get salter but get Percival instead cause I dont have him yet. Tho I miss salter who is OP but I will never get her append skill 2 for looping so yeah
chose Salter since she farms Ordeal better than ibuki , and she barely gets a rate up. other choice was Kriem but i have vlad and many other art st so no need
me watching this video like i don't already know that im going to be picking salter with this ticket as well as the one NA is getting in a few months LOL
Pointless to get gameplay wise, deals almost the same damage at np5 as LuBu and has lower damage then jeanne a free 4* servant. Not even sure if she can properly farm ordeal at np1 since she has no charge skill.
