You used Gil of all servants.

Haahhahahahah Gil will best used as a solo servant in that case if you ever decided to go for star gen up CC strat again this time on his quick cards to see how that goes. Well that's why I called it a test.

and yes I did it with all of his deck to see which one give the best star returns, then I switch to crit up to buster only because I did not have enough crit up for all of his cards keeping the star gen on Quick, and star gather up 25% on arts.

And just for this simple test I've burned 3 of star gen up, 1 of crit up and 1 CC removal since I tested the "Hit get 4 stars" card on Arts..

Just for this "simple" test and fine tuning I already burn dunno how many friend point and 1 rare prism just for a single servant, and suppose to say that I used bunch of limited CC on Gil and feel like there's better combination later in the future then I need moar rare prism to remove the CC.

and that's only speaking of Gil which is my guinea pig, I have at least 6 of fully unlocked servant and few servant that got unlocked for certain cards. this whole CC thing is barely useful, it's on the same level as grail or gold fou rather than another layer of strategy for general use.

It's a shame since they could use this opportunity to bump up the difficulty and gimmick, giving us entirely new difficulty that need to be tackled with new layer of strategy called CC. which is why I said at beginning that game play wise FGO has stagnated, the difficulty stagnated, the gameplay hardly got an improvement and from what I saw the dev are reaching the limit of the possible artificial difficulty and variation.

The gimmick is fun on Camelot, it's still fun on Agartha, then it slowly gets old in Shimosa, People are easily bored when they get used to something. It's so boring to the point that I need to roleplay when playing the story mode lest I get bored by the fight and the difficulty.

as a matter of fact other than Tamamo which I carry for bond I did not use a single SSR on SIN,  it's because the moment I took any high level team the fight became more of a chore than real fight. It took me over 40 (of fun) retry to kill Xiang Yu + Lanling Combo while keeping Spartacus, Jing Ke, Mashu, Tamamo and TamaCat on party... midway I tested strong team with JAlter and SAlter and suddenly I win without trying, thus I reset and beat the shit out of Xiang Yu with Jing Ke dozens of retry later.

heck later on when I stopped using Spartacus and Jing Ke on the palace (since canonically Spartacus is gone and Jing ke split up from us) I beat Xiang Yu, and Hinako easily even without SSR, only slightly stronger team.

This is the state of the game atm. CC could've saved it but no it doesn't it's just another cosmetic for waifu. A shame really
