NP2 Wandjina on a pair of multis. She also came with NP2 Kriemhild, which was my actual target. My first Kama was also on the first multi.

The original story for Lex Luthor's hatred of Superman is that Superman failed to save Lex from a chemical fire before the chemicals caused his hair to fall out. He then decides that Superman was jealous of Lex's genius and that Superman actually set fire to the lab. So not only does he think Superman caused his baldness, he also thinks Superman effectively destroyed his life's work by burning down the lab.

Silver Age comics can be really weird.

It was the King Hassan CQ from NeroFest where he was bugged on NA. He was supposed to attack the servant in the first slot, but instead he attacked anyone. And he had a super high death chance effect on normal attacks.

That quest started off bugged in JP, but they fixed it. After the fix you'd toss in a servant with a really low death rate to eat those attacks, like BB. NA got the bugged version without it ever getting fixed, and the solution was teamwide guts up pretty much constantly. At the time I think it was only Irisviel that could do it.

The oldest known use of a phrase like Jack of all trades seems to be "absolute Johannes factotum" from 1592. Well, that's a modernized spelling of the phrase. It's from Greene's Groats-Worth of Wit by Robert Greene. The actual quote in question:

"Yes trust them not: for there is an vpstart Crow, beautified with our feathers, that with his Tygers hart wrapt in a Players hyde, supposes he is as well able to bombast out a blanke verse as the best of you: and beeing an absolute Iohannes fac totum, is in his owne conceit the onely Shake-scene in a countrey."

That spelling is from before spelling was formalized. This quote is where the idea that Shakespeare was an actor before he started to write comes from, and it would be the first known reference to him. Him being an actor seems fairly likely given what we know of him, but this quote is the main reason for thinking that he was one. Honestly we don't really know what Shakespeare was up to in the years prior to 1592.

The quote comes from a section that is pretty dismissive of actors, or players, and that would suggest the phrase "absolute Johannes factotum" is supposed to have a negative connotation. The phrase was later simplified to Jack of all trades. Then master of none was a later addition, likely in the 1700s. As far as I can tell, "oftentimes better than a master of none" is a modern addition. All of the claims for it being old are unsourced, and I don't know of a source for it prior to the 21st century. It's also frequently attributed to guys that these kinds of quotes are often misattributed to. Guys like Shakespeare, ironically enough. Or they'll just say it was a saying in like the 1390s, but without giving a reason to believe that is true.

Clicking yes is fine by the way. It's just clearing the cache. It's temp files that are getting cleared out. Holding on to files that are used frequently can help speed up performance, but having a bunch of rarely used temp files in storage can slow things down. Some players may want to clear their cache periodically depending on their device.

I can't fathom clearing the cache leading to a 10+ GB download. I haven't cleared my cache in a long time, and I'm sitting on about 200 MB of data in it. So I'd guess that a download that size is unrelated to the cache having been recently cleared.

Most of the time you want a ST servant in fights against Ruler bosses. Summer Erice is a ST Avenger, and she's also a very strong ST option even when she's doing neutral damage. She also is on the same banner as Summer Ibuki, and Summer Ibuki is the best AoE Arts farmer in the game. Strictly in terms of gameplay the choice is simple. The Ibuki and Erice banner is superior for what you are asking about.

The standard way I use her involves mana loading. Give her BG (or an event CE). She starts with 10% from mana loading and uses her own battery to get to 60%. The double Castorias both use their second and third skills on Space Ishtar. That way they hold onto their first skill to help Space Ishtar to secure loops. If you do it that way then there is no problem with looping Berserkers, and it works with any command code. You can also often force your way through nodes that aren't 3/3/x if she starts with some charge on her CE and/or you use a third support.

How often do you even use your Extra Attack on her? Sometimes in CQs, but that's about it. Personally I find the easier looping to be worth more than that, but it's fair to disagree.

Buster stall is largely based on Merlin's skill set. You use healing and Invincibility to keep the party alive. You can boost the survivability by running Merlin next to Castoria. Castoria's NP can block more incoming damage, and Merlin can heal up whatever damage gets past your defenses. The ultimate version of this is the immortal comp. That's Merlin, Castoria, and a damage dealer that can provide overcharge to Castoria.

Morgan and Himiko are the top damage dealers in the Buster version of the immortal comp. So my top recommendation would be to target one or both of them. You can see how the team plays by looking it up on Youtube.

Got him on pity, and no spooks. But hey, at least my CE rolls were also garbage. Who wants MLB on Before Awakenings?

PSA: Ocean Flyer is coming with the new summer event on NA. Arts, NP damage, and full attack scaling.

None of the above. Do Vlad Extra. He's not amazing, but he's perfectly usable. You will eventually want all of your servants at max ascension. Vlad is also the one with by far the most annoying mats to farm when ascending him. Proofs and chains are things that are easy to run out of. Tars and scales are annoying for new players due to their low drop rates. So picking Vlad will save you a lot more work than any of the other options.

If you refuse to do Vlad then i guess I'd say Mozart. He's probably the least useful of that group, but his ascension mats are the most annoying.

I think the problem you are having is that Heian-kyo isn't an event. It's a Main Quest. The Gameplay tab has Quests, and from there you can click on Main Quests or Free Quests as is appropriate. You can then select Heian-Kyo quests from those pages. This is the same way you find any other permanent main quest or free quest.

Yeah, you have a month for it. I'm not 100% on Seraph coming first, but it seems pretty likely.

Here was the schedule last year:

May '21: Meihousou Most Foul was the "big" event. That's the movie with an unfinished story where we had to vote on the ending. Everyone voted for Jalter's ending because she's Jalter.

June '21: Yuga Kshtera ate up the first half of the month, and then GudaGuda hit late in the month. GudaGuda then ran until the 3rd of July.

July '21: Anny hits right after GudaGuda. So after maintenance it was the 4th of July. The US celebrates its Independece Day on the 4th, and I think NA is intentionally having their Anny hit relatively close to that day. So expect it in the first week of July.

NA has always had it's anny in early July. Not once has it been in June. You can check the event list if you don't believe me.

My best guess is June will have a Hunting Quest, the Summer/AoE banner, and Seraph. That should end just in time for the Anny. Then right after that should be the Ooku.

Tam is better if you land Castoria. Waver is better in a disaster scenario where you miss out on her. If I was in this situation I'd take the Waver safety mechanism.

My only 5* that got the correct number of coins is my Saber that I got at the ticket. Everything else got shorted. That includes limited and permanent servants. It even includes Sei from Valentines of this year. So I'm guessing they only got 5* servants that were acquired in the last couple of months.

So let's say you like a permanent 4*. To get that servant to 120 you need NP4. If you also want append skills then each one requires another 4 copies after that.

This is a really terrible system.

It definitely isn't a thing in real life, but Fate makes it clear that more famous heroes are also stronger because of their fame. So I have to assume that the other one is Achilles. Pretty much everyone knows about his story because of his heel.

Cowboy Bebop

Trigun

Samurai Champloo

Stein's Gate

Hellsing

Black Lagoon

One Punch Man

Mob Psycho

Demon Slayer

Jujutsu Kaisen

A bunch of those are huge titles in shounen anime. I'm not exactly going that far out on a limb since you clearly seem to like shounen stuff. I did try to hit up a few different eras though. That's not just because Cowboy Bebop is the first show to really get me into anime, but that's definitely part of why I wanted to hit up different eras.

If you want some shows that weren't quite massive hits then I can do some of those too.

If you are asking for meta purposes then the answer is Waver first, Tam second, and Saber is in the group to consider if you have both of the first two. Waver wins because access to 50% chagers is just that big of a deal. You should roll on Castoria to reduce the need for Waver, but there are still times when you will want a second 50% charger.
