Life After Skadi? The Enduring Power of Kama - FGO Servant Guide 

“If memory serves, she’s the only Servant with charm immunity.” Narrator: memory did not serve.

Correction: Kama is not the only servant with passive charm immunity. My personal spreadsheet was out of date when I checked this. Hot Wheels has mental debuff immunity (which includes charm) and Caren Hortensia has passive charm immunity. Also when I explained Blessing of the Goddess, my wording was too ambiguous about the heal component. No matter who you cast the skill on, Kama is the one that gets healed.

I prefer this review style over your usual. You sound less of a machine reading a script (your past servant reviews were very robotic, with the soms exceptions of the few meme teams you've cooked up) and like an actual person

with or without Skadi, Kama performs exceptionally well. She doesn't even need Skadi in her party and she'll still kick ass. Having NP1 Kama and being Skadi -less and I still bring her to High Difficulty CQ! A Quick Servant that isn't dependent on Skadi! What a blessing!

3:25 love the quote. That single line effectively covers her whole plot without getting into the details.

>Quick Meta is going to run into a brick wall in a year 1) That is still a whole year of content away 2) That's what people said about Buster I really wish I could get into the Kama bandwagon, but I already have an NP4 Jack and can't really see the need of having two strong single-target Quick assassins. Gotta save for Bunny Artoria and Space Ishtar.

One addition to everything stated: One of the Scathachfest lotto nodes has a single target rider wave. In that scenario, Kama is the ideal option for max efficiency.

4:42 I'm gonna add something onto that Caster of Limbo support: pair the two of them with van Gogh and you are geting an immortal crit nightmare. All three are chaotic evil, so Limbo's skills trigger, Limbo has two AoE curse gimmicks that van Gogh uses to charge her NP, which benefits mightily from Kama's overcharge on top of offering AoE stun, big damage and crit buffs, while all three of them have excellent survivability between an eternal guts, a double guts and a basic guts with HP regen. Oh, and most of their buffs are AoE, so you are not limited to a single attacker either, since everyone will do stupid damage. Individualy, they are great. Together they are absolutely nuts...

Love it, thank you. Would also like to second how powerful Kama Castoria Skadi, Merlin Skadi, or even double Castoria teams are. Seeing her clear content in JP with these teams (the latter being used to clear the Saber Wars II CQ Shadow of the Round) is satisfying. And even being able to make low budget options work (free OC on Hans anyone?) is also a good time.

ITS HERE FINALLY.

I would put in some nod to this being a guide in the title or description. I couldn't tell if this was a stream highlight shitposting, demonstration, or a guide until I clicked on it. The structure itself seems good. (Edit) he did it.

She costed me a fuckton of Quartz, so you bet your ass I'm gonna drag her to do heavy work against many things. But yeah after playing around with her through all of Ooku, all the points you gave are really good, and even more this christmas we get an actual Quick CE that is full ATK and is a freebie so that helps her even more in that regard.

I think this particular servant spotlight video is probably the best u've done by far! More like this pliisss Keep up the great work fino!

Skadi doesn't really run into wall because running into a wall implies that she is insufficient to allow you to progress through the event/singularity. Rather she gets outclassed by Castoria due to the devs making money through intentional powercreep and therefore having a conflict of interest when it comes to game balance.

I need to say that Musashi can kill Alter Egos with her NP, so this also an alternative - not only Kama + zerks.

2 year anniversary of this vid, which marked the moment Fino went from [Insert Character] Servant Guide on the video thumbnail and title to giving each servant a personalized thumbnail description and video title Man, time flies...

Glad I got her on at least one of my accounts so that if I need one I have access to her. and can do her interludes and valentines and stuff.

Kama is great. I keep her in 1st. The only problem is that Euryale was too damn good for too damn long, so now every boss and their mother has mental debuff immunity, if not straight up blanket protection against EVERYTHING. Still, who needs charm lock when you're a loop enabled tactical nuke button who has their own 50% battery for dead turns?

Hearing how good Kama is makes me so depressed I didn't pull her despite so much grinding free quest completions

To this day shes still my favorite servant and 3rd most expensive quartz wise, most expensive money wise to acquire only beaten by Passionlip at 920quartz and castoria 890 quartz, Kama being 510quartz And I'll always love her and can't wait for summer Kama Also milf form is the best don't @ me.

The problem for me is that my Kama is NP1. My Jack is NP3. So unless I'm against Alter Egos, I'm more inclined to use Jack.

So the one servant I failed to get after buying SQ is the one you make a guide talking about how good she is. PAIN.

First NP2 5Star; NO REGRETS!

I see you've updated the presentation of these Servant Spotlights a bit. Added the music like in the "Love But Won't Whale" list. Also, instead of just building teams, you rapid-fired some potential Servants that could support or play well with her. Sad to see there's no Meme Team but I guess with someone as self-sufficient as Kama, that's pretty difficult to do. Like this new direction and hope to see further improvement. Furthermore, I guess this has convinced me to roll for Kama when the rerun rolls around. Here I was thinking Kama wasn't going to be all that useful outside of Skadi-looping bosses into oblivion and just saving for Reines. Guess I was wrong. One last edit, I found the name to not be pretty good; almost mistook it for one of your stream highlight videos but it was definitely in character; didn't feel like clickbait.

After 1000 sq and 2 spooks I have 0 Kama. Will try again next year. Still salty but I gotta save for my choco husbando.

She carried me through that one Quetzalcoatl fight where she takes little to no damage in Babylonia.

I've always had a hard time figuring out how to build an "optimized" team around Kama. I understand the gameplan is to spam her NP as often as possible to stack those Quick buffs & Charm the enemy as often as possible, but I always feel like my team lacks in a certain department. I'd appreciate anyone's feedback. 1) For Craft Essences: Black Grail or Princess's Pilgrimage? Without Black Grail, her NPs are significantly weaker. But with Princess's Pilgrimage, she starts off swinging and I feel like she NPs more often after playtesting. 2) For Supports: Double Skadi, Skadi + Koyanskaya or Skadi + Castoria? I tried Douman too since she's Chaotic/Evil, but she NPed a lot less often and I don't think her crits were better in the end. I'm currently favoring Skadi + Koyanskaya since between Koyan's 3rd Skill & Skadi's Quick/Crit buff, Kama's Crits end up hurting a lot. Plus, with all the batteries she ends up NPing every other turn. However, you do hit a point where you run out of steam because of the high cooldown on Koyan's battery. Castoria was interesting, I feel like there's a lot of synergy there. She cleanses off the HP down from Kama's first Skill and benefits a lot from Kama's Overcharge effect to set up multiple Super Invuls. Between Kama's Charms, Skadi's Evades and Castoria's Super Invuls this team becomes amazing for surviving. But for more general use, I do prefer the Skadi + Koyan team for more burst damage. I don't particularly like the Double Skadi set-up since I find myself not clicking on the second Skadi Quick Buff often. It feels like a waste and Kama will have two of her Quick buffs active most of the time if I play right. Plus, don't really appreciate the aoe defense down on Skadi's second skill too much. Maybe I'm trying to do too much with my Kama? For reference, she's NP2. I do want her to Spam her NP and I want her NP to hurt. I also want her to Crit a lot and I want her Crits to hurt. Any pointers/suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Damn I had no idea... should’ve rolled

Took my NP2 Kama's third skill to 10 asap. So glad she's here. Nice to know that my favorite Nasu girl Shiki will do so well when Castoria arrives (although I suspected that she would). She's maxed out at 90 and will be 100 by the time that adorable caster appears in NA.

I have her np2, but I am thinking about getting NP3 but castoria 😂(Bonk, go to horni jail) bad me, don't roll for more

Caster Limbo is absolutely busted, and I say this in the best way possible. He can cripple an opponent with his suite of debuffs, bust a fat one in return, and his buffs are major game changers when you pop them. He's great on his own, greater with Kama, and god forbid I forget to mention that he's practically built to support Angra Mainyu of all people. The craziest men on the planet team up to rip some faces and actually be surprisingly good homies. Not only that, but he has two stacks of guts AND a 50% battery, with an AoE Quick NP. Dude is his own powerhouse, never count the man out. Kama or not, he's actually broken.

Honestly while she is a primo Servant and anyone who likes either meta or just Kama in general should go for her. I'm probably gonna skip her on the rerun. Its more of me hating her character and her near 100% charm locking having the same taste in my mouth as Mothman and Super Orion. As in being near 1 stop shops to trivialize most content in the game

Going for her when Ooko comes back, also helps she shares a Banner with Parvati who is a great Quick Looper

dammit im still really salty from the 80 tix and 560 sq i burned for this 3 in 1 piece of ass. great take on a new video format btw.

I think the main thing I would do is add review somewhere on the title card like the lower right corner of the card because when I saw this pop up I thought this was just the fight you were mentioning at 3:02. RU-vid text might not offer enough space but I do like the not vanilla 'Servant Review: Kama'

Just wanna point out that Musashi in JP looks to be a very functional anti-Alter Ego servant, due to her tankiness and the fact that her NP deals 1.5x damage against them. The issue is that she doesn’t really fit cleanly in the Arts meta, but you can easily build around her if you don’t have Kama.

Got her during the Ooku event at litterally the last day for her banner. Edit: I usually run my Kama with Kiara CE and the results are hilariously great, though I miss a few crits here and there.

Just pulled her on GSSR. Content with it

I can second that Kama can fucking spam with fucking Helena

I got Kama but forgot to finish the event because I was busy.

Sadly didn't manage to get her but at least my shiki still does the job

This video was super nice. I love your voice and your thoroughness

Kama definitely on my to-get servants from the day I started playing fgo and had to fight some riders in orleans. Stupid wyverns. They were pretty easy, now that I look back on orleans and other singularities from olympus. God, atlantis was easy tho. I started playing about 3 months ago so I don't have any decent supports, so that sucks. Thats probs why I find olympus this hard. Getting castoria would be amazing tho. Kagetora and Hokusai will get to be good

man i missed kama in the event rerun but instead got 2 kiaras in the first multi

Honestly, I don't like Kama because of the hype and also not intrigued and amazed by her kit because it is a bit of a rehash from the other servants skills. And apparently desire censor/catalyst is strong because my dislike for her is the reason that I got her with my first Multi.

Coming here after wrecking HaoHao with her lmao

Skadi is very fast for me to use but I manage to post a video in my channel where Kama's supports are Merlin and Tamamo where the team has surprisingly good synergy with Tamamo where Kama's NP Overcharged is used at supports instead on Kama is a great tactic and it shows that Kama can actually loop without the help of Double Skadi or a single Skadi support.

I got her NP5 surprisingly easily, and I'm very happy for that. I've gotten her skills to 6/10/10, and I'm in a bit of a bind; should I bother getting that first skill to 10 now, or focus on other Servants. I'm leaning toward the latter, but that has the problem of having way, way too many Servants who could use skill leveling in my roster. That's the REAL downside of getting too many Servants...

I have all Sakura Face Servants, available in FGO NA. Even though I have Skadi I reserved Kama to fight Alter Egos but I still prefer Arts teams for story and challenge quests.

Parvarti alter is pretty But i still preffer my murder loli

I can´t wait for the Clown to show on NA. He will absolutely destroy cavalries by himself, but the amount of damage he can bring to Kama, Taira, Van Gogh and even servants like Jalter is just huge.

Nice you put out a Kama guide, I'm just glad to have a high end assassin finally. It's also worth mentioning that at least on JP, regular Musashi gets a buff for handling Alter-Egos, not sure if it's full on class advantage though.

FGO is a joke of a game and you can power through most content with half decent characters. The real prize is the waifus and in that regard Kama delivers and is unlikely to get power creeped in that department. She is still the top tier Sakura face.

Kama may be powerful, but Gramps will always be my go to guy

Can't really agree with the whole Skadi death thing. Like yeah Castoria is great and all, but does her release directly make Skadi any worse? Double skadi will still be just as powerful as its always been, Castoria just gives players easier art looping options. This fanbase is all or nothing with it's units, if it's not the peak of the meta then apparently it's useless.

Good video, I like the updated more looser format, though the meme team names will be missed. Stuck on wondering who you meant by Mysterious Gourmet M tho

I consider the Castoria meta shift karmic revenge for making me waste over 400 SQ trying to get Skadi last year.

Ngl, went into the banner hoping for Par dupes. Walked away with 3 and a Kama. We take those.

I pulled one out of the blue during the event, and have been working like a dog to get the QP to pay for her skill ups. Seeing this lets me know it'll be worth my time in the mines for a long time to come

So does kiara come back next year as well? These waits are hella long.

Got my NP2 Kama and happy AF. Even though I failed to get Skadi.

I lucked out on getting a MLB Princess Pilgrimage from Kama's banner, & as much as I like its effect (15% Quick + 15% crit damage + 50% NP Gauge), I'm not a fan of split stats so I'm really looking forward to getting a free MLB Trails of Xmas from this year's Xmas Event. On top of giving 10% Quick & NP Gain + 50% NP Charge, it gives full Atk stat instead of the usual split stats that plague Quick CEs. Having more firepower is always welcome, especially for my Grailed Kama.

Hey Fino, what Card would benefit most from the Parvarti Code Cast? I always have issues figuring out which to put on what card... That said, I got her ... NP3 in 4 rolls. I made the mistake to roll more for that Marie CE But never got it :P BUT REALLY NO COMPLAINTS...

being tristan is suffering

I spend 150 quartz and only got np5 Parvati so i will try next year

Once she gets her buff Musashi is also a nice contender for alter ego fights. Great video Fino!

Lost belt 5.5 destroyed it

I'm lucky I get servants I don't want...

I don't care for Kama. King Hassan is all I need.

Casturia may not have killed her but every boss in jp nowadays having charm immune sure did....

I can confirm shes good in the early game, i got to babylon with kama leveled alone before needing to level anyone else

All these vids about how good kama is makes me so happy I rolled her

Hehe, I got here with one single roll. Zero dollars spent.

Is she worth it even at just NP1? Because I got lucky and got her once, but didn't try too much for more copies (though I should have NP3ed her damn it, got spooked by Jack (NP2) just before her and then Artoria (NP3) later on. Does she endure as a powerhouse even with just the one copy?

even when she is a truly wonderful servant and looks like sakura so thats a plus my sasaki lvl 90 can literally deal higher dmg with his NP with only his own quick buff than a NP2 Kamma its stupid? yes it is but, its funny? HEL YEAH IT IS!!

Honestly, I enjoyed this one. Kind of nice to know that she doesn't simply lose all effectiveness in the age of Castoria. Honestly just gets another weapon and a setup that has its appeal instead of just double Skadi. Either way, glad I got really lucky with her. A good NP level and she'll be a handy servant to rely on for a long while.

I believe in gramps supremacy! who's with me?

2:59 Beautiful carnivore?

>Pops a vid detailing very heavily why Kama wasn't just literal goddess-tier waifu but also probably the BEST quick-based servant in the game. >Me killing over 100 quartz and so many tickets desperately trying to get her... >Kama never came... >I got Parvati, and she's even NP lvl 4. Well...when does she come back?

LMAO AT THE ENCINO MAN REFERENCE

Wait where is the meme team?

You know too much.

1:24 Caren and Hotwheels are also immune

*cries in no skadi*

Thanks Fino

Every time I bring up kama all the melt overlords come to tell me that melts better cuz of crits. Lmao

Good video boss!

loved the video. i just didn't understand who he was referring to when he said that kama is the second strongest assasin in jp

I never expect to get her… Skadi\Merlin left me out to dry. The only supreme support who lent me a lap to cry on is Corgi. So I kinda put her on the back of my mind realize to day is the last day of Oku, roll 2 3Star in FP and told myself whynot. I can get over 1500 for Morgan and she got 3 Rerun…. Then here she come. The god of love herself… Well… time to flex on Limbo… guess Kama really want to upstage my summer Kiara

cute, but I'll take the old man who has already had his np upgrade in JP giving him the undisputed strongest ST assassin NP, when not taking into account special modifiers.

Honestly I don't even care for the quick meta since skadi was announced in jp Plus Kama is basically in a trio of Character uses of jack mhxx and Kama where each have a use in some way and it's not so simple to say use Kama and that's it. Mhxx does the most damage and jack has some remove buff skills and female damage that comes in handy while Kama is charm and charge as the alter ego thing is beyond niche as ego units hardly come up in story and Farming lowering her use on that angle.
