Talk:Artoria Pendragon (Lily)/@comment-27674511-20161207055518

Despite her lack of strength, I have gotten so much use out of Saber Lily.

Full disclosure, she is probably the best saber avaiblale to me because I have D rank luck. In almost a full year of playing, I've rolled only one 5-star servent (Francis Drake). I also pulled a Jack the Ripper off of one of the guaranteed 5-star rolls. I seem to have better luck with CE, having gotten ten 5-star CE (including 2x of kaleidoscope), but my servents pulls just aren't up to snuff. The only other sabers I have are Gawain and Eli (Brave) - who are currently untrained because I already had Lily at lv 65 by the time I got those, and they don't have skills as ideal for my teams.

I contend saber lily does a LOT of great work for my team in particular. I've mostly got a critical build, with a few NP spmammers and a few with really bad NP acquisition. Journey of Flowers EX works wonders with both of these. I've got it at lv 10, which means +20% NP gain three-fifths of the time. It makes sure that Lancelot/Atalanta actually get their NP, and Jack/Drake get to use another. In fact, with Journey active, Jack can get ~70% towards the NEXT NP off of a NP-Q-A brave chain - that's scary! And the crit team will get only better once I have the max bond CE, hehe.

So while she may not be strong, she supports well for crit teams. Moreover, for one or two turns she gets to be a superstar because Mana Burst + Lv 5 NP shores up any lack of base attack. And Saber Lily + Support Lancelot (Saber) make an amazing team that warms my heart to see the prime due of Camelot. Tragically, this crit team uses Lancelot Berserker on the back lines, and so my heart also breaks every time I use this team :'(

Probably won't push her past lv 80, and I may train Gawain and see how much I like him. But for now Saber Lily is my saber of choice!

Anyway, just thought I'd give a shout out to a percieved weak servent! Best piece of advice I've got is to just use the servents you like - everything is viable enough!
