Uh, his removing defensive buffs, his unremovable invincibility, his charme immunity, his strange antitaunt and his absurd NP card gain makes him more a CQ Servant than a farming one.
Umu! Suited for ripping and tearing into a boss with Brave chains leading with his NP, clearing the trash in the process. You nuke the boss and underlings with his NP and attack with Quick/Arts Cards for overkill- getting Crit Stars and more NP so you can repeat the process. Remember the Leonidas CQ from Gilfest 2? That's the sort of thing he's made for.
Id say he's about equally good at both roles, the NP gain and charge and AoE arts make him a top farmer. But not the best, similarly all the stuff you mentioned makes him a good CQ servant but he has to contend with Ivan and Ozy in that department who imo are better
@@GAReviews true, but they're Buster. I usually avoid comparing units with different Card types, because they aren't competing with each other. They coexist, though not necessarily on the same account. I'll compare Napoleon, Gilgamesh, and Ishtar But I'm not comparing Ishtar and Archer Jeanne. I'll compare Kagetora and Li, but I won't compare Scathach and Tamamo. You get the idea.
I believe that you made a mistake. You said that Odysseus' NP removes offensive buffs, when it's actually defensive ones, and it does that *before* the damage itself.
I love this dude's design. I already have Astolfo and Achilles but maybe it wouldnt hurt trying to get him. Greek heroes are generally cool and he's no exception.
There was an April's Fools trailer of FGO x Gundam Collab. They were also the same animator who did the infamous Tsukihime x FGO Collab April's Fools video.
I wish we could get something close to a Metroid x FGO collab as well. I know Calamity Jane has Samus' morph ball rolls and throwing bombs, but... *_come on, guys. Odysseus himself has more of that Metroid aesthetic then space cowgirl ever will._* (in fact, he uninronically looks like Raven Beak! holy shit, talk about coincidence!)
The guy looks cool and has a good kit overall I'd say. The effective 'anti-taunt' has fun implications. But...I gotta pass. Got to save everything I can for Castoria and then shift to extreme saving for the LB6 characters.
I've been on a Metroid love recently, so I was really considering rolling for him. But after Sober Oni's review, as well as the fact Odysseus is Non-Limited, I gotta pass and save for Caenis, hoping I'll still have enough to roll for Kama on the Ooku Rerun.
@@Xoncron He's definitely a classic. Still remember reading through the Iliad and Odyssey at school. I wouldn't mind getting him someday. But everyone has their priorities.
Oydessus isn't the best servant that comes out this year in fact I probably shouldn't be so excited for him but he's the number one servant I want this year my connection to the Illiad and the Oydessy makes him special to me good luck to everyone rolling for him I hope his summoning goes better than Sei's
Always remember: permanent SSRs are never going to be as optimal as limited ones. You can bet if he was limited his NP charge would be 50% OR he would have a party wide 20% on his first skill. He would probably have a crit damage buff or base attack buff on his skill OR maybe a secondary NP damage up (that last one time, 3 turns) on his third skill [considering he literally put the Aegis on the horse] to maximize his fire power. I wonder if he will get a buff somewhere down the line. Best bet is a simple damage buff on his NP!
@@Adam-yq9xe exactly, after his buffs. And it really is about variety of options, not final performance. Ozymandias is permanent so instead of giving him massive crit buffs, he gets terrain-based ones, and the enabler is the NP. On paper, it means you have to sacrifice a turn of damage to get better performance. Of course, in practice, it’s very inconsequential. Designs are always going to have their limits^^
I’ve literally been searching “Odysseus fgo” for about a week straight now waiting for this, surprised this is literally the first one even from up jp release thank you
Poor Odysseus, he would probably get a higher grade if Da Vinci Lily wasn't around. As of now, unless you are in a CQ and you need to remove enemy defensive buffs, I don't see why you would bring this guy over her anytime.
Even his niche is not something exclusive to him, Kiara does something similar with her NP that has ignore defense and Pierce invul, against unremovable defense buffs Kiara is better, against long lasting defensive buffs Odysseus is better.
As someone with no Castoria, my QP farming is carried by Da Vinci Lily, Odysseus, and whatever Bella Lisa-equipped Rider supports are available. Great team for three turns no Castoria
How to use odeseus the correct way 1.max 1 skill but leave his level at 1 2.put ce effect upon death 3.put him in support list boom! you have best taunt for solo cq with quick or art servant and free friend point
Didn't even know what his NP Attack was! Super ironic too since I was watching a Gundam Marathon the day before, lol! Ended up getting 2 copies of him in 1 multi!
Yeah, Odysseus is an easy pass for me. I read the Odyssey and I have Circe in my Chaldea. (Odysseus cheated on Penelope several times and was willing to stay and live out the rest of his days on Circe's Island until Hermes had to remind him that his wife that was going to get remarried because she believed and accepted that he had died at sea.) So yeah, he's an easy hard pass for me. Plus, I do believe Penelope and Circe deserved better than what they got from Odysseus. Also, I already have a crap ton of good Riders, so I'd really don't need him. Good luck everyone else who will be rolling for him.
You know cheating in that time had a different meaning, you cant just judge with the modern eyes of judgment. If i remember correctly he had sexual relationship with circe because she made a deal to be her lover so she can free his crew, and calipso had sex with him but against his will. Am pretty sure he had sex with other girls to release his urges but his love for phenelope was real. After all the whole story is about surviving the journey and returning home .Thats why he is my favorite greek hero, Because he is a survivor and resisted a ton hell of tempations that any man would fall, sure he had helps from the gods,after all he was the only hero that was full human and not divine, his only weapon was his cunning.
@Allison Dempsey Do you mean the same Circe that had a habit of tricking innocent people into eating drugged food that turned them into pigs and then either killed or imprisoned them?
as an aquilles user with scady and centaur buffer, this should a good breath of fresh air, changing from green to blue in fgo... trust me, makes your life a bit better. xD
Out of curiosity, did you ever do a review on Chen gong? If you have, I can’t find it, if you haven’t, it would be amazing and very helpful if you did one
I don't know what the artist was thinking of with his 3rd costume but he does have a mech so that gives him bonus points Unfortunately I have some of those heavy hitters you are talking about. So I doubt I'll roll for him.
Odysseues: "Roll for me!" Circe to me: "NONONONONO MASTER PLEASE" Me: "Calm yourself Circe, I'm rolling for Caenis." Circe: *Sighs relieved* Odysseues: *Sad explorer noises*
Odysseus is so cool!!! I'm happy to have been able to get him, since he is an Arts Servant (and you should already know my thoughts on Arts Servants by this point, lol. ^_^), I just wish that I could of gotten him NP 2... Oh well, he is Permanent so I'll just wait for him to spook me I suppose. ^_^
I'm sorry but this video is kindof misleading to Odysseus's true usage and potential He's good for farming yes, but surprisingly he's extremely specialized in Challenge quests and boss fights And there's actually a lot more CE's to put on him because he's a lot flexible than people think Maybe it's because at Np1 he is pretty weak and probably needs a np buff. But all the defensive buff, taunt gimmick, a spammable np that removes defensive buffs, he's often overlooked because future pickups are just too op
I haven't used him even on my new jp account. But from all the skills that was described, he feels like more of a cq unit. Great utility in his kit. Won't roll for him though. Caenis is my priority
He definitly also has CQ and boss fight viability, but he runs into the same issue in that there are better alternatives like Ozy and Ivan. But he is a tremendously versatile servant
@@GAReviews, know that God loves you and that he wants you to be saved and happy, nothing in this world like money, fun or popularity can fill the emptiness in your heart, but only his son Jesus who died for you can fill you, you who might not know about him, he knows you more than yourself, you who turned your back to him, he is still waiting for you with his arms open to receive you again, you who fought against him and had done things that are unforgivable in your eyes, he will always see you as his son and he already paid the price for all your sins, even if the world doesn’t forgive you, all that you need is God and everything will be alright, so trust God and only God, no one else, repent from your sins and never go back to them, and the most important thing is that you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior with your voice and your heart, when you do all these things, pray to God and read the Bible(Christian Bible not a Catholic since the Catholic one might’ve changed the word of God to something that it is not God’s word but men’s, so read a christian Bible) so that you get to know God, and when you pray ask God to guide you so that you always walk in his righteousness and so that he gives you strength so you don’t fall to sin, and don’t just say I am a Christian and never read your bible or end up not praying, build a relationship with God, read the Bible, fast and pray and be his son not only in words but also in your actions, please listen to this message, today God has showed you grace, to you who might be depressed, empty, are being hated or hates, or maybe you don’t receive genuine love, even you who enjoys or is comfortable with his current life, whoever you who is reading this is, know that God is calling you to give you a future and a hope, in this life and in the eternal life, trust him because he loves you so much that you can’t even understand it, and the time is short, after this message you might day or Jesus might return, so be ready and follow him, for today he stretched his hand to you because he loves you and cares for you, and he doesn’t want you to go to hell, so please go to him, I promise you that it will be the best decision you will do in your entire existence and that God will free you from anything that hurts you, take the love and hope the Lord is giving you and be free, for the best future for your life is in his hands, please make the right choice, for today God has stretched his hand to you who he loves so much that he even died for knowing all the bad things you have done, that is how much love he has and will always have for you❤️
Odysseus biggest flaw is his role like Oni you've said. He has one of the best NP effect that defense buff removal* (Oni you said offense, stop looking at Odysseus doujins while making his video) prior to damage which is build for CQs but his main job is a farmer. However, his semi-support role can boost his rating higher so he A- I would say. That 30% boost to np damage at 100% charge also helps with his np damage output.
I agree with that, I was actually flip flopping between an A- and B+ the whole time. I'll put down the Odysseus doujins, but no promises for the Carnis doujins when her spotlight comes
Kept trying to roll for Morgan yesterday and pulled Odysseus out of the blue. I like his mech look but I want my waifu Morgan! lol I’m a returning player and got a few lucky pulls up until now. I think I’ll still roll with Ivan, Ozy and Quetzalcoatl. Achilles I need to level his skills
When you said “the servant spotlight Who’s Fashion choices make him look like he’s about 2 Seconds away from a Super bowl style wardrobe malfunction” I knew exactly what you talking about🤣(I’m a Fellow football fan like you) Also He can be a Good addition to the power rangers because his NP be like “TROJAN RIDER FORM, ENGAGE!”
He spooked me with rainbow sparks while I was rolling for Kama. I did get Kama afterwards so I'm not mad, I just have no idea what to do with him. I already have other solidly strong units for farming and CQs alike, so he's... rather redundant, but I don't think I should burn him either? Hopefully there will be fights in the future with niches against which he can shine, like a non-Assassin boss with constant charm or an event where he gets bonus damage or something...
Um oni you did you double check your sprip because oddisies np removuse defs buff before damage. Dosent that make him more useful fore utility and hard boss fights
Oh yeah. Odysseus aka mister I LOVE MY WIFE guy. Helmet version best version. Joining the fellow "not as good loop" club but a nice spook if you get him eventually.
Yeah, not mean to be pouring rain on your parade my friend, but I don't think Odysseus deserves the title of mister "I love my wife" as much as Rama. Let's do keep in mind that the Odysseus was perfectly content with staying on Circe's Island until he heard that news from Hermes that Penelope have accepted his death and was going to marry another. Meaning of that he was about to lose everything because his wife have finally decided to move on with her life. You didn't relieve Circe's Island because you love Penelope, he loves Circe's Island because he loves his title and possessions more. At least Rama never cheated on Sita.
@@allisondempsey982 FGO Odysseus is basically a shonen harem manga protagonist. He has tons and tons of women in love with him but he is (mostly) clueless about this and he is totally focused on Penelope.
@@allisondempsey982 FGO’s Odyssey ≠ Homer’s Odyssey. They are not a 1:1 adaptation. While in the literary works it’s mentioned that he gets it on with Circe and Calypso, this version is only devoted to Penelope.
I'm not seeing anyone roll for this guy except husbando or mecha reasons. First half of the year is Castoria Year aside someone rolling for love or Dioscuri. I kinda like him but gonna pass. ROMA is coming.
I got him because I really like greek mythology. He reminds me to iron man. Thanks again Pal as always
2 года назад
I have checked a lot of videos of people using Odysseus and they all seem to be np1, I have him np2 great but now I have no quartz or summoning tickets and this is the year we get castoria, Damm however we have 26 events until we get castoria that equals time and mats plus from what I remember somewhere we in the future we get A LOT of Saint quartz before castoria comes
@@GAReviews awesome to know! I guess I’ll invest in leveling him. Spent 60 SQ and 10 ST trying to get Circe and ended up with 2 copies of Odysseus hilariously enough. Wasn’t even going to go for him since I’ve been saving for Castoria, but feel like I had good luck for such a low investment even if I never got Circe lol.
I'd be more interested if the Greek heroes actually looked more well...Greek. I got Sei and now I'm just saving for the Kāma/Kiara banner, CCC banner I think is coming, Castoria, and Summer.
You may mention it at some point in the video, but how do you think a NP1 Odysseus compares to a NP1 Mordred when it comes to farming? It'll be a while til I can level him so I'm just curious. I always know where to look when I get a new Servant, thanks for the guides!
I got him on my JP account - his stats are similar to George I think. He isn’t bad….but I have enough Riders - though I love his NP But I swear, he will make a surprise appearance - he appeared more times on my JP account more than any other rider Edit: Well I got him
Hopefully I'll be lucky with his spooks. Till this day, I'm praying I get spooked by Xiang Yu (trying to reunite Paisen with her hubby) so that I can save the Free SSR Ticket to grab Waver (ALSO trying to reunite Grey with her "Shishou").
Huh i got him in summer musashi banner i guess since its anniversary banner and i'm stuck at demeter and he can remove defensive debuffs i guess upgrading the two is a must
SoberOni : "The problem with this Servant is that they are a jack of all trades master of none" DW: \*Release a servant specialized in one thing\* SoberOni : "The problem with this Servant is that they are only good in one thing" DW: Dude...
Mmm not really worth rolling for if you managed to get da vinci lily last year especially with castoria coming out this year and paracelsus, nero bride, and tamamo already make da vinci lily broken as a servant. Maybe if Odysseus had a quick np or buster NP for skadi or koyanskaya damage farm loops he'd be in a better spot but as you say he's not bad, hes just in a really awkward spot where both aoe and single target riders outclass him in damage, def, and specialized niches. While his taunt is unique, I feel like he should've be a 5 star version of George in that regard where they take the idea and expand push that gameplay style into a new level since I really liked reading the odyssee and even saw the movie they made of it, right down to even watching the wishbone version of it lol, but point being is that while I kind of get this is meant to be the lost belt version, I am not a big fan of this mostly because Odysseus himself is a wise and tactical leader where had it not been for the lost belts we could've gotten a new rider who specialized in def stall tactics as opposed to the offensive one that is in a very awkward spot and going by what's to come in rider, berserker and alter egos classes it's not gonna get much better for him without a new upgrade to help him stand out. I only recommend him if you don't have da vinci lily and are looking for a AOE arts rider who can potentially loop but beyond that I'd say skip him and maybe you'll get lucky in the lucky bag summons.
Meh... I have Ozy, Drake and a lot of great 4 star riders. Not worrying about this guy or Castoria to be honest. I'll use a friends if I need them. I use buster riders as they really kick some ass.
2:58 Little mistake: you said it removes "offensive buffs", but the chart is clearly showing it removes *"defensive* buffs". That aside, okay. I _was_ considering rolling for Odysseus, but your Review managed to convince me that it might not really be worth it. Specially since I just searched up and he is not a Limited Servant, nor a Story-Locked one. So I'll always have a chance to get spooked by him, just like Europa and Xiang Yu. Nah, I'd rather save my Quartz for Caenis. She's coming along with the Dioscuri twins, but unlike the latter, *she is Limited.* So bet your damn ass I'm gonna get her one way or another!
Im actually the opposite. I was going to pass but this review made me reconsider because of his side utilities. As for Caenis, its an easy pass for me because there's a summer version in the future.
Normally I would try a little for every new servant. Doesn't hurt to roll the dice. But I tilted so hard with Yang that I used up a couple hundred saved up SQ that I was gonna use for Castoria + summer. So now, every new servant until Castoria is scum, trying to keep me from her lol.
Gonna pass on him cuz I got so many 5*Rider servant... I mean, I want saber cuz I don't have any but Riders keep coming like Drake, Ozy, Medb, and Quetzalquoatl. And I just started playing for only 8 month and not a single saber. Gonna wait for Arthur proto or Saito Edit: I just noticed that the 5* rider servant I have is all buster. Well... if iskandar got his banner open I might give a multi try on him
He should be an A. He has been amazing. You gave Achilles an A, so I would expect the same for Ody. Your main argument was that he isn't great at one thing but is good at everything, yet he is a great farmer and aven better at CQ due to his utility. I also don't think you should penalize him for the existence of Da Vinci Rider. I understand she is the better farmer, but Ody is better at CQ. Going back to Achilles. They practically do the same thing it's just Achilles does more crit damage. Ody on the other hand has better utility and a 30% Np charge on a 5-turn CD while Achilles is at 6. He also has 30% defense instead of 20. The main thing that needs to be taken for consideration is that Ody is an arts servants and he can loop better than Achilles and most riders.
Oh so that's how he is rated I just got him on the story banner by luck and still not sure of how to use him in my setup of teams and most of my servants are saber setup
I still think he should’ve been an Archer as it was his weapon of choice. But….ok…Trojan horse…rider…Odyssey…on a boat…. And that we got a Grand Archer in Orion So ok…but still…should’ve been an Archer
So basically a more CQ Oriented Rider Da Vinci, that does more damage in wave 1 and 2 but will get outdamage during the 3rd wave and doesn't have as steady refund as her ?
This is neutral damage for level 90 NP1 rider da vinci with MLB Black grail and double Castoria, using her NP buff skill on the last wave: 86597/86597/112206. And this is neutral damage for level 90 NP1 Odysseus with MLB Black grail and double Castoria: 109383/109383/109383
Passing on Odysseus! Best of luck to those rolling for him though & hope he meets your expectations. Me? Castoria, Summer Illya & Summer Abi are my next big three priorities. :3
I did want him and still do, but in my Sei rolls I got the 4 stars instead (though I can’t be mad) so now I need to save for Dioscuri, Caenis, and Voyager. Castoria is coming eventually too. I can always get him next year if I want him too. And I think he’s gonna be available in a 5 star ticket next year.
I need Castoria (I have Shuten Assassin and Kiara at NP2 and a NP4 Melt Lancer), but after her comes Swimsuit Okita, that avoided me last year, Summer Murasaki, Summer Bryn, Summer Kiara and Summer Abby... Thinking about it I am in a very Bad situation this year unless I have stupid amounts of luck.
i got him today from story roll after using 5 summon ticket i have from finishing main story. I don't have gold rider but why him tho xD he's good i see. I'm gonna use him for a while since i don't have gold rider xD
