Ok, I do admit that "I wish I had Merlin and 2030" is a pretty miserable thought.

I don't know if I'll be able to afford Merlin or not - I actually play NA only. I know you might use this against me, but this is a mobile game, not life - experience is important, but analysis of statistics can compensate.

Again, you need Jalter, Merlin, Musashi and whoever else you think fit among them for the strongest crit buster team, not for a good crit buster team. And as I have explained before, the difference between "good" and "best" in crit buster teams is not small.

Of course there's no shame in not having the shiniest Servants in the game. Actually, I have mad respect for guys like Honako Green who mainly use bronze and silver Servants.

About rarity, of course you can get rare servants as the time passes. I know that myself after playing a few months in NA. And actually, that's kind of my point - after you get one good rare quick DPS, you're set. And you yourself say - "grant you access to one of those servants" - getting two, or three of those is already less likely. And the problem with crit buster teams is that for the *strongest* setup you need Merlin and one more rare servant.

This is not what you saw, but your interpretation. I haven't written even once that you should save quartz to get Okita or Scathach or wait for Kintoki Rider. I was thinking about situations in which you happened to get that Servant by coincidence or plan to get them regardless of how good they are (for reasons such as waifu/husbando). So in those situations you can be happy with the knowledge that you can already build the best or nearly best team for your quick Servant to shine in.

I'm not saying that if you don't have Merlin you're screwed, and also I don't think that way. And even if I were, I wouldn't be the only one, unfortunately. There are quite a lot of people that think it's all about Merlin, Merlin, Merlin. The discussion is (or at least turned to) about which type of teams is easier to build to the fullest potential. I didn't say that a crit buster team that doesn't have Merlin is weaker than the strongest quick team; actually, it might even be stronger.
