I like her because she enables Skadi loops without support. On NA and looking at my quick servants and the support slots all being Castoria, and unlike Arts where I can get away with one Castoria for arts looping, I can't get away with one Skadi quick looping. Just gotta wait two years... Sorry Edmond.
I hope OG Skadi gets a NP gain buff to her 3rd skill at some point, that way it would be more advised to use a combination of OG and Summer instead of just dubbling up on one or the other
i think the reason they did the buster buff is cause of the new quick card type buff itself . Now if u use quick as starter card then the later cards get cdmg bonus . So if u use a buster card after , lets say a quick np , the dmg would be higher . And as ZTL said himself , for quick crit we already have caster skadi .
I love the buster buffs. She can cover buster crit while caster Skadi handles quick crit. Neither neither caster nor ruler make each other obsolete. Come to NA already Ice Cream Queen!
I actually ended up getting her in 5 multis this morning, instantly used my special ascension on her and got her to lvl 90. She’ll pair well with the Kama I got from gssr, and I may even use her with Arcuied as a plug suit swap in just for shits and giggles
That's a 200 percent crit damage on buster with at least 45 stars. Also 3 skadi comp + kscope+ another 50 charge sup is guaranteed to 3 turn. If nodes are 3/3/1 you could even black grail her for MAXIMUM damage. Even if something survives a triple card buffed np + the other 2 types of buffs (possible 3 even if lawful) she still has the guaranteed Crits that may even hit as hard as the np itself.
As you said, she's divided the fandom, but I think she definitely makes Quick Servants more consistant. She doesn't have to be perfect. The fact that she complements with OG Skadi is a very good thing. I can see why people are mad that she's an hybrid-support Servant, Quick Servants really need a new support totally meant for them as of now, or just more supports. Overall though, I personally think she's worth summoning for. Unfortunately, I won't be able to bring her cuteness to my Chaldea most likely, as I spent all my SQ in LA's banner. However, I got her two times in the same summon, so I can't say I'm dissatisfied at all. Good luck to everyone who's gonna summon on Skadi's banner, by the way.
I like that they committed to Quick's actual role of crit enabling and more or less maximized it with ruler skadi. Its a shame that she's not a quick castoria but at the same time quick and arts ahould feel distinct.
"It's a shame that she's not Quick Castoria"? What are you mad? Can you imagine if we got, not one but two, card-swapped alts of previous supports this summer? That would be a sign that the devs have run out of ideas.
@@kun2588 i'm not referring to that at all. I'm saying its sad that arts and buster have a much easier time looping than quick does. Ultimately though I prefer this route for quick. I do wish she had CD reduction though. Cannot believe Ibuki of all servants got that instead.
@@seph4707 No one will tell you this due to recency bias; but Ibuki's S1 and S2 have 1T more CD than normal to compensate. The value in the CD reduction is only there for her battery. And I'd prefer if they don't reuse gimmicks anyway. It'll become boring.
@@kun2588 Yeah I'm talking more like Tamamo Caster CD reduction, not Vitch or Ibuki. Maybe partywide CD reduction by 1 on a skill. Regardless, if arts and buster get to have CD reduction supports then quick can have one too. Its not sacred ground.
I think the one thing that like really bugs me about Summer Skadi as a looper is that Caren is just there, filling that niche and honestly hitting harder than her. Caren benefits from S-Skadi, for sure, but if you're gonna run an AOE quick ruler I feel like it just makes more sense to go with her. She's very comparable but doesn't have the seaside demerit and her np just has straight up better effects, not to mention-it's buffed.
i think for now if you play quick team she is a must summ.I got her anf she works very well like a suppand dps.she can loop well with skadi and nero bride.And oalso she putt good number
The issue with Summer Skadi is that she's doesn't do for Skadi what Castoria and Koyanskaya did to Tamamo and Merlin. If you have regular Skadi, Summer Skadi doesn't bring anything particularly new, just a bit stronger. And generally speaking, the issue with Quick is the lack of direction. Arts is all about np refund and consistency, buster is all for the big pp damage going all in. They seem to be leaning now with the quick rework, to make it a support card type for crits, and Summer Skadi seems to be into that...but we don't have many hybrid servants to see if that's the case, maybe in the future.
I think she’s extremely pale in comparison next to the other two banners next to her. I would only roll for her IF I got both Pr. Merlin and Summer Ibuki and still got quartz left.
in my opinion she straight up better than old Skadi in everything, for farming she is better and for boss battles, (most of the best quick servants plays with two quick cards and 2 busters, Kama, Okita, mhx, Dante, Melt, Scathach, etc) you get the stars with the quick cards and then obliterates the boss health with the buster cards with 200% crit damage and 30% buster performance. Also because of her i am specting for them to release a new broken hybrid quick/buster dps with two buster cards
Its probably done to favor the dmg with the guaranteed crits. Buster crits without buffs still do a lot more dmg than quick despite being highly enhanced. It still just physically hurts my eyes that the god of quick has buster buffs and weirdly splitted to the point buster is only enhanced by 15% too. Also looping with a full quick chain on a boss is way more satisfying. What annoys me more is her battery again a single 50% battery.
By the way, I would also like to point out the she addresses one of the complaints for regular Skadi: Servants like Scathach didn't benefit as much from OG Skadi as Buster Servants generally benefitted from Merlin in the same general era. I think for CQs that will really help put Shishou back near the top.
Actually being a hybrid DPS and support, while having a non-caster class, is really good! So you can easily found Ruler Skadi on your friendlist, contrast to Caster Skadi who got replaced by Castoria. Although, I also heard JP has updated support UI, so we can find more support type servants on our friend list.
Ye in jp you can have abt 3 slots of each class in your friend support so You can put castoria on first caster slot Skadi on second and someone else on third
Overall she's alright. Not as great as ibuki who is just loaded with buffs but she's fine, it's just I think the actual reason they went about it this is due to the recent update to quick cards in general in case you haven't noticed and feel like that's an important detail most including are overlooking
I wasn't impressed by her kit before her release. I rolled anyway because I am a Skadi simp. She rewarded my commitment by coming home 3 times in 1 10 roll. I spent approximately 300 quartz total. Couldn't be happier.
Theoretically you can have 3 Skadis now that can give a servant 150% quick buff when you swap one out. So now quick is on par with both arts and buster. Then again buster not only has Vitch and Merlin, but also Nightingale can give a 50% buster buff. Idk how one could get all of them on one person, but it should be interesting.
I did have high expections of her and so far Skadi is looking extremely strong to me. Tried her out with a bunch of servants and Izumo was someone who very much stood out to me. She was already pretty strong without Summer Skadi, but having her in a team with both Skadis makes her absurd lol
Summer 7 is going to break my wallet when it comes to NA. Already looking at Faker Merlin, but Ibuki is a crazy Arts looper and more Skadi is more Skadi.
Skadi/Scathach: *"Shall I 'love' you or 'kill' you, Master~?"* (Special Translation: *"Shall I 'ANSWER' your 'SUMMONS or 'REJECT' your 'SUMMONS' Master~?"* )
The skills can always be updated and corrected with interludes and rank ups. If they do she has a lot of future potential unlike perfect servants like castoria will remain not buff like merlin skills.
Yeah, except there has never been a 5* summer servant buff since the game came out. Even the old and clearly outdated summer ssrs haven't been buffed yet, so I'm personally not harboring any hope of her getting better than she currently is.
@@InkStep Erm...Malter would beg to differ. Also never say never. There has never been a triple SSR Summer before, yet here we are. There never was a servant that was newly introduced on a summer and yet LAvalon was released. I wouldn't rule out possiblities based on what happened in the past.
@@guilhermegaspar752 it's not a huge deal at all, but ZTl said S.Skadi is rocking that QQAAB deck. But if you look at it again its QQABB clearly. Misinformation but whateves. t's a super minor problem anyway.
Summer Skadi > Lady Avalon >= Ibuki. Lady Avalon is hella overrated. You would much rather use castoria for arts looping and tamamo/castoria for arts boss fights. Summer Skadi can both be a support and the looper, much more valuable to one's account. Ibuki is really good but has alternatives.
agree with this one, Arts and Buster Meta is still way better than the Quick (present FGO), but atleast it can make quick have some more options to make it better
I wish this really have a rerun i have 660 sq before the summer 7 i got lucky at proto merlin with only 2 ten pulls then i got fcked at ibuki git spooked by karna and no erice wish next year a rerun can come back
A non-Caster with 50% charge, no less than 50% boost for her card type, and she can support AND farm at the same time? Might as well just call her Koyanskadi at this point...
In comparison to the supports buster and arts servants have she is really mediocre. Could she not give, for example, 50% or maybe more increased np gain for a servant's quick cards? It for sure would not be broken, considering what they did with castoria. Her np is literally wasted, her being a damage dealer is very misplaced. They held back so much, idk what they were afraid of. Quick is never going to be as good in looping as arts nor as good in damage as buster.
While I do agree that she should have had some form of targetable NP Gain skill rather than having more of a Crit DPS focus, her NP is almost literally just the Quick Koyanskaya NP. And it's not like you use your support's NP in a looping setup, so her having a damaging NP rather than a supportive one changes nothing for most farming comps. At least this way, Summer Skadi can function as her own looper in a Quick farming setup if you don't already have a Quick looper in your box.
It wouldn't be broken; it would be stupid. It would just enable, what like 5 more servants to farm 3/3/x and still make Quick ass at 90+ nodes because they can't refund there either. If Quick goes in that direction; it'd inevitably end up as an inferior Arts that is more expensive, which is not a good place to be. SSkadi is a step in the right direction, and she makes QQBB servants competitive with Koyan Buster servants in CQs.
Sounds like she fills the role of copium for quick fans xD I mean look at Ibuki and tell me that Arts farming isn't objectively better... I love Shishou and all, but we only get so many SQ you know xD
It isn't, lmao. Ibuki does nothing new for Arts farming; she's stuck to the same setups Spishtar has been running for 2.5 years with slightly better damage and still requires the same thresholds (NP2+, lv90+) to omni-farm. "Objectively better", my ass.
@@zi-muh It takes a lot of effort to get her to loop. You need higher NP levels, a plug in suit NP charger, starting NP CE, and even then her performance is not that amazing at it. The 1 hit NP hurts bad.
She and Nobu are easily my favorite characters in the game. Gameplay wise, not sure. I have her lvl 100 and NP5. She will have Iburaki to support her when she gets her skill upgrade and Douman will help her out since she is both chaotic and evil. She also has the highest atk of all assassins, not that that means much. And she has such a sexy voice.
@@zs190 aw man, I haven't used Shuten since year 1. For some reason I thought all the debuff hits also counted for hits that would go towards her np refund.
All the buster crit support in her kit kinda makes her better for buster critting than Merlin...which is sad. Yeah, he might give you more damage turn 1, but her crit buff lasts 2 turns longer and the free star gen and buster star weight is more consistent and makes her better the next 2 turns.
Merlin is kind of a hard sell nowadays thanks to Summer Skadi and Avalon, even his slot as a CQ stall character is taken by Avalon who works better with Castoria as dual Arts support, and Skadi and do Buster meme with Koyan better since her buff is 3 turns unlike Merlin who only has 1 turn
@@komishouko7497 I say okita alter is better, Dante damage is quite low compared to her since he only boost his damage via a single one turn atk boost, he is still amazing but if you think he is better than okita alter you just haven't play with her.
@@komishouko7497 she also has higher natural np gain and a battery which dante doesn't have and while dante np gain boost is 50 and her is 30, she conpensates for that with her 40% quick boost which gives np gain and with her np removing defensives buff first
She's only available on the Japanese server at the moment. The NA (Global) server is two years behind the Japanese server, so you'll have to wait two years before she's released on the NA server.
@@ared4824 got her in a 2 Multis along with 2 Multis of Okita Saber Alter. No money spent on all the Summer servants. NP2 Ibuki, 1 Proto-Merlin, 1 Ruler Skadi and 1 Okita Saber Alter :)
@@ojedaojeda4770 while you can force 3 NPs with a MLB kscope or append plus kscope. However that doesn't answer if space ishtar has the damage to clear wave 3 or if she can 6 CE lotto events. This is also without mentioning np levels grails or gold fous
@@darksword225 6CEs is expecting too much (unless you have more than 3 enemies per wave) but with triple Skadi, Spishtar should theoretically be able to get away with using ToC against non-Berserkers and Assassins. As for damage; her thresholds are quite similar to Arts-Spishtar now, just a little better. So, whatever the requirements were for Arts-Spishtar, those are the requirements for Q-Spishtar now asw.
Yeah and I did... After 460 quartz. I literally got her in the last pull. Got 1 Skadi, 1 Wu, 32 xenovia CE, 15 Taigong CE and two Heracles in the same pull. PAIN
I don't know, i feel like i catched a spit in my face at this point. Until the last moment i hoped that they'll change the skills on her when she's actually out, but no, they just let it go as it is. The hybrid meta might come with servants like Melu in the future, but why the freak do I wait for them and pull her now if we already have Castoria and Koya destroying literally Everything with nearly every Arts/Buster servant and Ibuki with SusMerlin right at th same time as her? Last Quick support was Taikoubou(or Tai Wang Gong) and even though he has only 15% quick partywide buff he also offers 15% NP dmg and 15% ATK up, which is A Lot better for Quick servants already, but his NP is stripping off Quick RES as well so it's already better then Skaði's at damaging-support side And he gives even more power to servants who base of their Quick cards, especially Quick NPs. And still while he's even a Permanent servant he's not even imagining to par with like Xu Fu for Arts who is permanent 3*... A hard punch to be honest. The oldest and finest Quick farmer is Dantes, yet his skills are irrelevant even to his days and All the 3 of them can get a buff. And they buff Voyager instead... So, speaking about Ruler Scáthach=Skaði directly... Her skills are more like a mock than an actual hybrid-related ones on my opinion. She's giving buffs to Buster even though Quick is freaking lying dead in the depth of the pit, begging for help for ages now. Alright, maybe for some certain Bazett her buff will do, but Bazett is Already equiped with her own copy of MajinOkita's Kyokuchi(Which is drastically better too) so the buffs will just stack. If only they give her first skill NPgain buff instead of buster crit DMG on the first skill she Already would've been more useable, or if they tried to copy Koyanskaya on NP effect with the charge drain, why not they gave one of her skils some special on-attack effect for Quick cards like increasing crit dmg for the servant who crit with Quick cards? Would've made her really powerfull without creeping OG Scáthach-Skaði in case she gives the flat Quick card CRIT boost and Ruler one would've gave just more potential in general long-term... On the second skill replacing this BusterUp with NP strength up would've been even more hybrid-related. And the third skill is just a giggle at this point... Not only stealing stars on Buster cards, but also having longer cooldown than the OG Scáthach-Skaði's battery. If this skill is supposed to be used on Buster servant, than why the freak would they need 65% QuickUp if they going to oonga-boonga one turn anyway? If it used on Quick servants than it's COMPLETELY UNUSEABLE(Instead of the battery of course) because they'll either lose stars to Buster cards or just won't see the difference because the generate 50 stars and they all are 100% anyway. And why the hell would Quick servant would want these star per turn and starbomb? Maybe only Count Monte-Cristo would use that on the first turn but still... And the NP... it's Pretending to be Koyanskaya one, but fails to do so dramatically. If they deleted the persistent overcharge effects and placed NPgain partywide buff there she would've been better as well. But, still, we have that... NP bonus on specific field... One of the worst things in FGO, hate this shit. She's not even able to give it to herself, like, What the Fuck? It's the literal joke on all the Quick Believers, and makes her NP look weaker just because it's 96% of times A Deadweight. ANYTHING would've been better, even a DoT or Permadeath before damage. Not to mention Caster Skaði's partywide Evade and even not mentioning Castoria\Koya broken NPs. On the looping/damaging side she's also outclassed by nearly everyone so i sadly (and painfully, it feels like it's ripping my skin) can't think of why you shall pull her, no matter you have caster Scáthach-Skaði or not. Especially when there's Ibuki right on the fucking next banner, smashing everything down as a storm. They could've just give her random pack of medicore buffs, delete this shittyEffect on her NP and leave the third skill to be as caster Scáthach-Skaði's and she'd been 100% better. Maybe as Lady Abaron Is. Scáthach is my truly be loved, i love her with all of my hearth and deeply devoted to her in every means, but This... Not only they made my precious Scáthach in her so long awaited summer outfit a lot weaker in comparison to other meta servants, they also just Yeeted all the hopes of Quick fans(I'm also one of them by the way) who was waiting for her and seen these Buster buffs, losing all the hope or feeling crushing pain all over. Quick has potential to become a nearly Buster-damage on crit+Arts NP-genning hybrid card, but sadly I guess we'll never see a proper approach from any developer to it. Best ascension pictures on my opinion, one of the most beautiful sprite/visuals/animations sets in the whole entire game and such a... Waste. Waste of potential, sadly. The worst for me is that nor my word or opinion matter, already seen guys putting her in support with NP5 10/10/10, so she'll never get a buff... Thank ya the one who read that, but sadly it's just my thoughts, nothing valuable. Sorry if i took yer time for nothing.
Note; for some reason my comment was deleted, so I'm reuploading it here. A whole load of nonsense, right there. -The "hybrid servant" you're looking for already exists. Every Quick servant that has a QQBB deck benefits from SSkadi than they do from Skadi due to how inherently shitty Quick is as a card. SSkadi is a support that encourages you to use Buster cards alongside your Quicks and provide more damage. To prove this, let me run a small experiment. The OG Skadi provides 100% Quick Crit buff, 50% Quick buff and 30% def down while the new Skadi provides a 15% Buster up, 65% Quick up, 20% attack and a 100% Buster buff. If we use Rengoku (Summer Majin Saber) as the test DPS; OG Skadi-buffed Rengoku NPQQ w crits= 173,551+98%NP +95 stars ^This is the maximum numbers possible in a DSS+NP1 Rengoku setup at neutral (against a Saber, if you have to know) with no overkill. After you pull this chain, you won't be able to display these numbers ever again inside a 3T vacuum (unless you're cycling your supports) as you've used up all your quick cards. SSkadi-buffed Rengoku NPAB w crits = 187,427+73% NP+63stars ^As you can see, these numbers are superior to DSS Rengoku and the Arts card is hitting practically unbuffed (with only Majin's 30% Attack steroid and 40% Attack from SSkadi). This isn't the ideal chain but I just want to display the effect of the mighty chain. SSkadi-buffed Rengoku NPQB w crits = 210,879+74%NP+74 stars ^This is the ideal chain; enough stars to guarantee the next set of crits, enough refund to NP again with just a 30% battery and more damage than the "mighty chain" due to the Quick card being juiced up. Another good thing about this chain is that you can do it twice in a 3T vacuum. Tldr; (if all that's too complex for you) LE is moving away from doing damage with only your cardtype and experimenting with multiple card supports. This will benefit Quick the most because Quick's card damage modifier is very behind Arts and Buster's (NPs have over-juiced modifiers to compensate but cards are still ass). The important question is whether this a good thing for Quick? It's too early to tell but imo it makes an extremely small substrata of Quick servants (QQBB servants to be specific) competitive with the top-end Buster and Arts but at the cost of leaving the QQAA and QQQ servants behind. -Taikobou
@@kun2588 Ye, thanks dude, now i can properly send you a reply of mine. -Ya dude, i'm not the finest with these numbers and stuff, thanks for counting those. I am wrong from the side of her damage buffing performance and etc., but seriously, do ya think this what all've been waiting for about her? I'm not sayin' something like "Not wut i wantud ruinid game" bullshit, nah my friend, i just wanted to speak out my impression that i've got from her today. Like, Skaði was associated with Quick already coz' of her OG obviously, and so i think that it'd been better for them to not make her so mixed up and release another servant with hybrid-type kit later. I'm mostly about consistency in everything (just for you to get in my boots), so i was waitin' for some interesting Quick Card NP-buffing, Unique support abilities(Like Castoria's Solemn DEF or Koya's"Jack of all trades, the conqueror of every") or at least a DPS with at least medicore (if not Caren's) capabilities. Maybe something like Ruler Moriarty's kit if we'll talk 'bout looping. But These buffs shocked me, and as far as i can see, i'm not the only one like that. -Ye, i think i accidentally cut this off when was typing, sorry for mistelling(idk how to call that). Well, yea, i wanted to type "Even though the np dmg buff is small..." but the main point is still There: "... makes her NP look weaker just because it's 96% of times A Deadweight. ANYTHING would've been better... ". I mean, it's literally looks like a joke, don't you think so? Basically i don't want it to be nor buffed/rplaced, yet i would like it to be cut out. It's an eyesore for me especially. I apologise strongly if it looked like i'm being too mean to her, both to you and to Scáthach, my beloved. (By the way, i said "Long awaited" coz' it's basically Skaði's swimsuit, not the Shishou herself, plus assasin had no cool 2-3 ascension arts, sadly. But anyway, Assassin Scáthach isn't gettin' a rerun any soon so i stick with Banni suit as a swimsuit version for my beloved Scáthach ;D Sorry if it sounds like i'm a WaifuPretender(EX) again, i Am a Shishou fan truly.) -I mentiioned Taikobou for other reason dude, we misunderstood each other. I meant he's on my opinion Is weaker fo his role then Xu Fu just because of, you know, gacha reasons obviously. I wanted to say-out-aloud that Quick is suffering not only because of card drawback, but especially coz' of all the effort already gone(And keep going) to Arts/Buster. -Said about Dantes coz' he's the one (as i think) who'd takeover the meta if he had a buff permit ;D Sorry if it sounds too silly for you my friend. -How do you think btw, is my idea good? Bout' the quick cards stacking more crit damage as they crit one. Maybe when they crit they could stack some crit chance on Extra attack? You're good at the game i guess, gimme your thoughts if you'd like, i would like to see your take on how would you reworked/buffed Quick. If not and you're fine with Lasengle's way of setteling this it's okay, everything is fine. I'm just kinda upset on Quick being thrown on the backshelf for so long and if you able to count up what hybrid meta has (or will have) that Arts/Buster's not gonna for me i'd appreciate you, my friend. Anyway, thanks for assuming everything with explanations for me, now i can at least be happy that she's good value-wise. Good luck, have a good Evening and stay Motivated, if you need that by any mean.e, thanks dude, now i can properly send you an answer of mine.
@@aitemada -No, this is not what the community has been waiting for. The community wanted Castoria 2.0 who would "save" Quick but honestly that would be the most boring development and would be unhealthy for the game balance. I feel like SSkadi is a way better option than Quick Castoria because it means that the devs are looking for methods outside Quick cards to make Quick servants competitive with their Buster counterparts in CQs while enabling a larger cast of Quick servants to 6CE triloop in 3/3/x farming nodes, with better damage than OG Skadi, which is a better position than Buster, in 3/3/x. A Quick Castoria would only double down on the role that Quick AE occupies today; an inferior Arts. While I do agree that Quick needs supports for sustain and stall; I think they should be more like Mash/LAvalon/Merlin rather than Castoria, who I consider an unhealthy servant. Also, the complexity you're expecting from this servant is unfair as the examples you've cited are all anniversary servants whereas SSkadi is a Summer servant. To put it simply, SSkadi isn't the Quick "savior" but she makes them far better than they were before her release. -If you were joking then sure. But SSkadi's field effects aren't like Nemo's, so I don't see it as something worth complaining about due to how much she offers in other departments. -Taikobou is a semi-support whereas XU Fu is a dedicated one. I agree that Quick needs more budget supports but that comparison is unfair to both parties involved. -Eh, Dantes would need like 3 buffs to catch up to Caren. Split 50% batteries, flat NP generation and a Quick buff. I think it's safe to say that he won't be catching up to her anytime soon. -A ramping crit buff wouldn't help Quick servants by much because we've seen the effect a 100% buff has on Quick cards; it's nowhere close to outdamaging Buster and Arts card due to the innately bad damage modifier it has. Even if the they do add ramping crit buffs, it would sorta be wasted because double Skadi already gives 200% in crit buffs and the crit buff cap is 500%. I think hybrid supports like SSkadi are the solution for Quick's bad cards. But that means that QQAA servants must also get it's own hybrid support and also that QQQ servants are going to have to make do with OG Skadi (not that she's bad in anyway). I think it's an interesting direction for gameplay with alternatives to the meta supports rather than power-creeping them outright. Edit; also they should add more interludes to Quick servants. The some of the best Quick servants such as Kama, Voyager, Charlie, Majin Saber would be really good with interluded NPs.
Lmao, Ibuki and P.Merlin? Meta changing? 😂😂 If anyone fits the bill for "meta changing" this summer it's Skadi and that's also stretching the goalpost.
