Buddha wont be too much of a problem because buddha can be depicted without much compromise but Jesus Christ can be a big issue depending on how he is depicted and keep in mind this is people's religions so we should keep it respectful to them
The np tick, without any in-kit survivability, is a little concerning. However, she is a match made in heaven with Castoria (NP invul) / Tamamo (healing bonus + skill cooldown reduction). Also, the class advantage against basically everyone should mitigate any squishiness from no internal survivability. She is a BEAST
I just realized that she works really well with Yang, 50%-90% damage mod (because of her burn skill w/ Honey Lake) and 60% charge on turn one (if you're up against 3 enemies) because she gives them charge, and she also forces them to attack with her skill seal so she can stack defense downs and more burn. Probably not at all viable but as a Yang lover this pleases me greatly. Absolutely going (at least) NP2 if I can (after Tiamat drains me). I wonder if they're going to introduce the Savior (or was is Saver?) class to offset the Beast class during the EoR equivalent and have it be strong against the Extra classes and weak to the normal ones.
Actually, she wouldn't really get her power mod all the time even when she has class advantage, because according to Atlasacademy her NP damage mod only affect SERVANTS of the 7 classes, not all enemies of the 7 classes, so it's basically a worse Enuma Elish. Granted, most of the bosses would be servants anyway, but this only means that her niche and her class advantage are separated and won't necessarily go together all the time
They way I see it, Draco is like, The absolute best servant a new player can get and I can see draco very easily carry you from fuyuki to well into LB3, but for people with already stablished accounts that have an arts st on almost every class, she loses some value because she is not gonna be better than your dedicated counterclass, most of her powerbudget is on her class and her Overcharge, thats why her skills, while Loaded as fu, are not that unique effects wise, is like a reverse Mooncancer, Mooncancer makes up for their class by having really crazy kits, Draco has the most Op class in the game so she makes up by having a simple, and dare I say somewhat generic Kit
Just noticed that in CQ, you can use 2nd skill to give NP charge to the boss, and use invul/Castoria NP to block every single damage. That way, you ignore the RNG if the boss has self NP charge on their skill.
Very fascinating crazy we got a beast have no idea how's that even possible maybe we don't like kill her and that brings another question how will fgo handle past beasts sense every other beast is dead aside from kama koyanskaya tiamat and kirara and the only one left is the mysterious 5th beast witch we know nothing about I'm interested if fgo will give us previous beasts that we are already contracted too I don't see it but it's fgo while olga Camazotz and possibly proto merlin we can get there beast versions it's very fascinating also to note every beast class will have a different affinity of what class your strong and weak against witch is super creative unique very excited for this collab and how fgo handles beast class as a hole in the future
Plushie already did an NP5 Showcase with double Castoria and first skill buff of Oberon...and she does around 650-690k ish with Black Grail. In comparison and on the same setup.. it's roughly equal with the NP5 Arts ST NP welfare we have.
I would like to say to y'all that the beast class might have different affinity in the future, but for now it need to be beast versions of the 10 roman emperors servants that symbolises the horns of the Beast VI/?. The next one under the Beast VI position might be caligula If you read this comment after an surprise turn of events of the summonable beast class in fgo mobile leave an reply saying something like: "how you previewed that in 2023?!"
In the stream, her affinity was listed under "Beast of Sodom Class Affinity", not like a general affinity for the Beast class. So that kinda heavily implies Beast class Servants would have different affinities
With Larva/Tiamat being an Alter Ego (advantage against Cavalries) and Draco being Beast (advantage against normal classes), I won't be surprised if the next surprise banner from Arcade will be Kama (mistake), but a Pretender (advantage against Knights).
Charge up the enemy is good if you set up a 1-turn invul were out of 3 character, one was 1 bar away from np. Or when you about to line break but afraid that enemy might 1-charge themselves
Hmmm, it is quite surprising to see an arcade collab, I am so interested to see how will they do it on NA, since arcade is so far JP exclusive, meaning that we might get FGO arcade localized in less than 2 years? Would be pog
Her having burn is weird since Sodom's Beast has been associated with water or ocean, I mean her NP in Arcade is her creating a gigantic flood bigger than Tiamat's Sea of Life even.
Her NP is Spammable, but not in a way thT it'll Fully refund itself to 100% like Vlad and Tea would. Since she relies heavily on S1 and 3 to pick up her Slack and no ways to amplify Refund, but still a good ST Regardless. Thank God cause we are officially a Year Without 1
Hmm so she has advantage against normal class, and Alaya be like: Let's make grands from normal class. Extra class! That's cheating? Chaldea have lot of them? Okay, I am doing ordeal call! How dare!
Wait hold up, her NP is a ST Enuma Elish, except it doesn't give a shit about what it's hitting so long as she has class advantage!? Holy shit. From my experience using her it looks like she even has _full_ class advantage against everything, like some kind of ultra berserker-ruler.
@tribopower wouldnt be surprised. Theyve given many extra class welfares now and a lot are aoe. So since the extras are more accessible to f2p, it wouldn't be as crazy as if they had done it closer to launch
Good things that FGO has over other games is while yeah this is powercreep there's no multiplayer component in the game so the only thing that stops you from using this servants are: 1. You don't like them. 2. You rather use your favourites
Lack of multiplayer is a thing but the big take away is the fight variety and servants as a whole can be incredibly versatile who’s stronger than who really doesn’t matter Sure you can take Draco to places but at the same time if you have strong options already she’s not replacing them because they all bring their own fun to the table. She’s not as fast of a boss killer as bazett for Calvary but she’s a strong choice for them. Overall FGO is at a Point where you can just not care
@Hagsilva I dont know how you can say the game can't develop in difficulty when you just had Camazotz and ORT this year. You also had Lostbelt 6, which also had some extremely difficult bosses. Compare that to one of the biggest hurdles in early FGO, Gawain, and you'll get what I mean. Difficulty is still present and growing, especially in terms of creativity. This also hasn't completely left behind the older servants, as you'll find plenty of content online showing how well old servants can do. There are very few outright TERRIBLE servants like Jekyll or Benkei, most can do the job just fine with the right help.
@Hagsilva have you played the game? It doesn’t matter if a new player rolls for the next new broken servant because guess wat they can just use friend supports so that argument is kinda moot Secondly I literally just named a few pros and cons for Draco with examples like bazett. I don’t know how giving rank ups to strong servants ruined it. Wat servant was Op that “ruined it” because any servant can get buffed. I feel like you haven’t actually played the game because from a balancing Standpoint the only thing that’s remained consistent is supports while everything else chsnges
@Hagsilva think you're the one of the few not in denial that you honestly just get penalized if you use a favorite servant that just isn't good. People tout Honako as the low level guy but he just does it for the memes rather than believing in low level servants. On record admits quite a few servants are broken too himself lol.
@Hagsilva except how does it lower the retention when most of the time bringing a friend servant only really works in earlier stages or unless you know how to solo properly which again requires u to understand the fight. So what if Van Gogh is strong it’s not like all content is favored towards her. For most general content you be more geared to bring other characters over Van Gogh and it’s not like she will just stomp everything on her own. Again give an example because not every new unit is broken. Let’s take last year where most of the year was average servants like Constantine the trung sister baken, Roland, moriarty, Don Quixote, and tametomo. Hell arc came out and she needs a lot of investment just to really shine with most of the really big hitters was Summer ibuki erice banner. Hell this year the best servant to have came out is kuku but takes forever to get her kit to work cuz of all the buttons and needs a bit of ramp up because she drains stars. You act as if you can’t beat content using older or “ weaker” servants. No one said that power creep doesn’t exist it’s just it’s really not a big deal
The only thing I am really disappointed about is that she's arts. I have almost maxed Oberon and Koyan of Light, but when it comes to Arts I only have relatively un-touched Tamamo with all of her skills at lvl 4.
I don't find her OP since she has some glaring flaws that pegs her down but I do think she is godsend for those who still lacks ST NP on each of the 7 classes and fairly new accounts.
