Talk:Nero Festival Return ~Autumn 2019~ (US)/@comment-37535116-20190830155449

The Siegfried challenge was pretty easy and the Scathach challenge was Ok i guess. For the Heracles challenge, earlier I tried doing a Chloe solo (note: she's grailed to Lvl 90, skills all 10) and it failed miserably, cuz she didn't boast enough firepower.

I was brainstorming on who to use, then I decided to pick ..... Raikou Lancer. But I didn't have much confidence in her at first cuz she had zero survivability skills, which I thought will be a huge liability in this fight (like Merlin can help, but still...). And note: she has zero advantages against Heracles (no damage boost for Greeks like Penth, or against Females like Euryale, etc)

And guess what? I changed my mind. I now think Raikou lancer is like that 4 star version of Jalter (albeit lower attack) but who hits, NPs, and CRITS like a large MONTROUS truck! Understanderbly, more than half the fight was left to RNG, but I forsaw it going much worse. Towards the end, Heracles NPed Raikou and used up her 1time guts. But her two Buster Crits at the end just ended his last 2 lives.

I'm actually more proud of this fight, cuz it just showed me a hidden potential in a Servant that I nvr really saw before. I hardly see much Raikou Lancer fights on youtube, so I'm seriously proud of her. Now I can't wait to go after Gilgamesh in the coming challenges!
