She's incredibly useful. She's good with Quick and Buster Servants but is definitely a God tier for Arts Servants. I've been using her with Mash and Himiko to.. varying effects but still a fun way to play
Castoria is A MUST. Challenge quest even with her feels so hard these days, imagine not having her. Unless you are a whale with NP5 Junao, koyan, merlin and oberon or sumn.
Tamamo no Mae doesn't compare Im sorry. Maybe with a supp castoria it works rlly well? But having at least one castoria makes too big of a difference
@@cuppu4525 They have different roles though, Tamamo compliments Castoria, as she provides things Castoria doesn’t. Those being heals, cool down reduction on skills, and NP damage. Having some kind of sustain is an especially big boon. Because as good as Castoria’s solemn defense is, you’re prone to getting chipped out as it’s only 1 hit without overcharge. And Castoria herself doesn’t have any sustain in the way of heals, so Castoria + Tamamo and your arts dps is ideal for difficult content.
Never skipped Castoria, but I'll watch this anyway since I'm NOT looking forward to cranking out Memelin, Castoria, & Morgan for the unyielding team, which would also yield an unrivaled amount of lovers' quarrels after the CQ is done.
For the last lotto's third 90++ node I needed a Castoria NP in order to do enough damage to the pharaohs, and I didn't want to risk getting a support Castoria that didn't have the battery append maxed. So instead I let the friend support be Oberon while bringing my own Castoria along, ha. Having a Castoria yourself lets you do stuff like that. I find that Arts is by far the most flexible card type in both farming and hard content in regards to what DPS you can bring.
you needed divine damage and Nero bride as a support would have given it to you or as a DPS Tezcatlipoca gave a lot that apart from that he would have facilitated everything in a monstrous way
@@Fearienify I had friends with maxed appends on her, but I decided I'd rather not have to check whether the Castoria I want to bring has it maxed every time I ran the node. I don't need any appends on Oberon, so it's less effort to just pick him instead.
if you get your own Castoria, you can enable a support Summer Ibuki which from my experience is way better for farming than rolling Koyan, Oberon, and high NP levels on whatever buster farmer
Don't need an overgrown snake when you have Morgan at NP5 and 120, she can easily handle both farming and CQs by herself lol. Also she's coming in 2024, who are you going to use while waiting
I rolled and NP3 Summer Ibuki for waifu. She became the main farmer in 90% of events, including some of the weird 90++ nodes with less than 3 enemies per wave
Castoria is the only of the good support servants I was able to roll so I just use her in all of my teams and she never let me down. I'm surprised you didn't mention that her NP can also carry you through some of the toughest bossfights since it allows you to face tank an ignore invincible enemy NP. Also the absolute insanity that Castoria + Muramasa in lancer nodes
As someone who does not currently have a Castoria and who constantly sees guides for challenge quests that boil down to some variant of "double Castoria," I'm working very hard to save for her next banner
Before watching : she's the most f2p support in the game. With other support you need NP2 servants, MLB kscope, and much more, while with castoria you MIGHT want to have black grail but it's not necessary
@@casteanpreswyn7528 How is being a 5* make her p2w then? And you don't NEED either kscope or black grail, I know because I use an NP1 summer Melt with a 4* ce
@IDGAF About Your Waifu maybe the 0.09% of pulling her? Like, outside of EN foresight, it is ridiculously unlikely you pulled her on the first banner. And when we consider they don't announce banners until about 2 weeks before they drop, you'd have most likely no way to get her on the rerun either. Meaning, you'd have to fuckin pay to get her. To this fuckin day, Paracelsus is still the best f2p arts support in the game and George is still the best overall f2p support in the game cause they don't require using any Quartz.
@IDGAF About Your Waifu like, you can't be serious when you say "how is being a 5* make her not be the best f2p support in the game". By that logic, how is Summer Kama or Summer Ibuki not the best f2p farmer in the game? Also, liking your own comment is sadboi shit.
@@casteanpreswyn7528 you can 6-slot with castoria from the sup list and Xu FU/Waver (from free SSR ticket) + a looper( habetrot, Iyo and gong are some free top tier examples.) And no/free CEs. She is the best f2p support because you don't even need to have her. Only troublesome thing is needing 2004 MC, just burn a bad 4* servant for RP it will be more useful.
Phenomenal video and delivered at an amazing time. People for whatever reason think Oberon instantly makes their single core NP1 damage dealer capable of blowing through every 90++ node and that's simply just not the case. Castoria is incredibly powerful and versatile in these 90++ environments when running multicore teams that can deal with these stages more effectively and reliably.
Thank you to spreading the word , about castoria in 90++ , and specially about multicore farming , i dont see a lot of people doing videos about this last topic , from now on not only you need to think about rolling meta supports, now you need to think about multicore damage dealers like tez , but that is a problem for future me :p .
If you have to skip someone (considering you like all the meta supports equally). Skip koyanskaya. Yes koyanskaya is better than oberon, but she has another banner in January, skipping Oberon on the other hand, you'll be mothless for a year and a half
Oberon is better than Koyan. He improves Arts and Quick looping and allows his own farming system. Koyan relies on having Oberon or specific CEs in most cases.
She is simply great you level her skills, you borrow another one from your friends list and boom 80% of aoe arts units just work, buster and quick are good too but the ease of access Castoria has is unmatched and if you do have other supports the system only improves, the other systems are good but I feel have much higher bar of entry.
this is the first time I heard about multicore but I've done it mostly on 90+ nodes and the free quests of Shinjuku and Agartha, and I'd say you're right about her buffs being AoE matters... I matters a lot
Another good thin about arts looping is they can loop 4 times in a row which buster teams cannot. And you don't have to roll for premium buster DPS. Theres plenty of AOE welfares coming up (ranmaru, the vietnam shota, iyo, and summervalks) Buster and Quick teams have no survivability options.
@@velgard. what I mean by that is Castoria enables 3turning while at the same time can give 2 forms of hard survivability when doing difficult content. Merlin on the other hand doesnt enable any kind of looping just the survivability
Just got her. Was panning on rolling for her on the GSSR because I spent a lot last anni without getting her so I was quite jaded, but I figured this would be better in the long run. I usually get by with running bride instead of her but this was for the best.
I had 907 SQ for Koyanskaya and Oberon. I needed 600 SQ for first and only Castoria and therefore I will probably not get Oberon and Koyanskaya, without real money😢.
@@literalgarbage8014 Oh I see that I did a mistake. I didn´t needed 600 SQ, I needed 690 SQ, so that 217 was left. Until now, I have got enough SQ back (thanks interludes and the first 6 Acts of Heian-Kyo) that I have now 251 SQ. But in the summoning simulations, I needed for the most times around 210 SQ for one SSR. That means, even with some of the SQ we get for the 6th anniversary, it would still be difficult to get both of them.
Really helpful advice, sounds like I can completely skip buster and might be better off for it, since I already have castoria and np2 vlad. Not sure what else I need though to complete the comps for farming 90++.... I never did manage to snag that second copy of SpIshtar, np1 kinda hurts
9:52 @Plushie you said Castoria has "a second 30% charge", it's 20% skill 2. Awesome video though, it's always reasurring Castoria was a great investment and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.
Counterpoint. Oberon does not get a rerun in two years, and depending of your pool you might not be able to support castoria (like it's my case). Absolutely agree with cast being nutty, just wanted to add that it's not always the best option, specially for people that haven't played as long as some veterans.
Bro- I just started a NA acc and I already got spooked 4 times 💀💀 (2 on Castoria Banner : Xuanzang, Mordred ; 2 on Morgan Banner : Bradamante, Jeanne) Imma cry bcuz of u, xuanzang.
On my JP, I only have her as my OP support servant. With my current level (lvl110) and roster (6ssr), I can 3 turn the last lotto in 90+ node and opened 100+ boxes. That is to show how can she improve whatever your lineup is. I believe that she is a must summon, either you are a newbie or veteran.
@@dumbegg9083 Castoria, Nero (Draco), Muramasa, Xiangyu, Tiamat, Waver. Also, I have a decent SRs and grailed Arash and Chen Gong for my wave clearers.
I got into fate go after the latest catoria banner but i hot lucky and got. Melusine 3 koyan and about 300sq for an oberon. I am waiting to np2 meluko but if she appears again i will definetly go dor her
I glad i got her in the anniversary banner and didnt even skip since i have a lot arts servant. P.S: for those who gonna skip castoria you missing a lot having her + merlin in your line up even her alone was a huge help.
For me, 90++ node is usually not worth it unless it's lottery event since most event have finite material shop so all it really does is gain some extra bond point and make the dead week even longer than normal which is suck because the next year implement 3 weeks event for everything aside from lotto and story chapter. So I decide to only roll her at November next year instead since every other stuff I care about is before that JP banner a few month and after the NA a few month.
I had in mind that I will spend it all on her and if I had anything left I will use them on Oberon and then Koyanskaya, and I ended up getting her in 15 tickets, the luckiest I have ever been
I remember during the anniversary, I only had the anniversary SQ to pull with. I really wanted to get her and I was playing on the couch with my mom watching TV beside me. I decided to make my mom pull the first 10 pull, and lo and behold, Castoria came home. I was so surprised that I made her roll a 10 pull again just to see if it was just a really lucky pull. CASTORIA APPEARED AGAIN. Then we stopped. After a while, I decided to let my mom pull a YOLO roll. Caster card turned gold. Castora appeared again. Thanks mom for NP3 Castoria.
It doesn't matter how old or young an account is having Castoria will offer so many more options. You can get a ton of mileage out of one Castoria and one out of many Arts AoE Servants for some basic farming. It might sound like the dumbest thing but it was that thirty team wide battery that made me realize how nutty she was.
Call me stupid all you want but im gona skip castoria and the others for a pity on king Hassan in the new year Event (he is my favourite servant, i must have him) And Remember waifu>>>>meta
She's my first servant that I got with just 1 ticket, on her FIRST banner. And that time I knew, she's my one true waifu; without even knowing how broken she will be that time (mind you I haven't pick a single servant as my waifu beforehand) 🥰
It somehow didnt really register to me until you mentioned it, but yeah, Castoria really does get basically damn near close to fully invalidating Ruler Jeanne's entire existence...
I'm trying to convince a friend to pull for Castoria before Koyanskaya since his account still isn't that great. I'm down with the pull for who you want crowd but that's after you get some kind of support to help you. It doesn't help that he only has Ibuki and Seiba with low skill levels so I think him going for Koya right now will be rough.
Castoria allows me to use Habetrot as a QP farmer. though due to saving 300k+ Friendship points and an additional ~300k from events including Nero fest I was able to gain NP5 Habetrot to make it a breeze.
I saved up when she first came out and was lucky enough to get her at NP3 then. Got her fairly early in the attempt, too, which is why she's NP3. I decided to go for her at NP2 once I got her initial copy so early, and ended up getting two of her on my last 11-roll for her. So then feeling lucky I rolled the rest of my SQ on the other banner open at the time, and got KP. Good times. Not so lucky since, I'm afraid. Wasted over 100 SQ failing to get Muramasa back during New Years, and then did it again trying for Best Girl Mordred during her recent rate-up. Then I got two copies of Fairy Gawain rolling for Morgan just this last week. My luck is odd...
I thought that I had too many arts supports, that Tamamo will help me, that I didn't have too many arts dps (ST or AoE). Boy, you people have no idea how wrong I was. Castoria helped my existence with this game. She's not overrated she's just _that_ good. Now I only need a good-great arts dps to fully enjoy her
While everyone talk about how to farm min turn, i'm here with 7,8 turn farming use Holms, Gogh...and i like it😅. So play the way you want, enjoy yourself is the most important😊
Considering that I got her on her very first banner and got her as my 2nd 10+ bond level servant (first was merlin), Castoria really helps with looping NPs and allows non-arts servant to get their np faster. Also her NP is amazing!
I use her always along himiko and do wonderful things with dantes, nobu, artoria OG, grand lancer, gilgamesh, musashi as Main dps, agree with you, with castoria theres almost no need for other support
My most reliable CQ setup is Castoria/Castoria/Kingprotea. Looks weird on paper to have two arts supports and a buster unit, but god _damn_ is it a good comp. Kingprotea already deals tons of damage alone so her only problem is her atrocious NP gain, which Castoria fixes easily with her awesome batteries, NP gain buff, and Arts buff. And the extra defense and debuff from having two Castoria NPs lets you fuel that engine for what feels like forever. You could also use a Tamamo or either Merlin for healing, but you should always have at least one Castoria. She's just that good.
But mothman go buzz. Oberon only has 2 banners and castoria comes out next spring again so roll for oberon. Koyan comes out in december again so roll for oberon
1. Her 3T looper includes a 2* Chen Gong (Buster has 3* Cu Caster while Quick has none) 2. Her BG looper includes a welfare (Sieg) while Buster needs premiums like Melusine, Arcueid, or Kukulkan 3. She actually has some stall game instead of the 3T or bust style Buster and Quick are locked into
@@marisbury no he doesn't? He can 3T on a 50% CE with just your Castoria and another from support list. If you pitch in Paracelsus, Mozart, and the plugsuit, he can even 3T with BG.
