[@AlejandroBravo0]

In terms of peak survivability, other unkillable teams are still better, but compared to more normal or traditional offensive teams, not only she's very strong offensively but also the team is still really really good in terms of survivability I will definitely not call her the strongest ST dps, but still one of the strongest for sure As a small nitpick, her powermod against divine (and chaotic when it applies too), that on a vacuum allows her to do basically effective dmg against most foreigners when combined with her superfective mod, is additive with NP dmg and crit dmg buffs, which means that in reality she's not exactly doing the dmg that a servant who is actually effective against foreigners due to class and has the same buffs would do (assuming you are giving summer Castoria any NP dmg buff like black grail, for crit buffs she has her own) Good vid, and good luck with summer bob's pulls, plushie

Fast rundown : Her skill 1 buffs the entire team with “gain a 🟪 for 3 turns when attacking (if you do aoe NP against 3 enemies you get 3 🟪) Her skill 3 charges 10 np for each 🟪 someone has Her skill 2 swaps her out for the next unit in backline So you frontline her, use her S1 on turn 1 and aoe NP to get 3 🟪 on your dps, turn 2 she uses her S3 to give your dps 30 NP and then uses her S2 to leave, turn 3 you get another buffer to come in and help your dps

[@eco8374]

She has a decent battery + some offensive buff for the team and a skill that makes her swap to the back row so another support can take her place. In general, she did Miss Crane's job better but the team cost, requires 3 enemies on wave 1 and Kuro may need her bond 10 CE for some set up will likely make her a good emergency option than a meta one.

[@Alcraid18]

1st skill give a stack for every enemy you attack (up to 5) and her 3rd skill give 10% np charge for a stack (so basically she can give up to 50% charge to a servant) Cmiiw

[@RandomGeek12]

@@PlushieMistress still lot to take in but thank you for explaining it to me

[@gato6373]

Ok so basically. Summer Chloe's first skill gives a buff to her allies that make it so every time they hit an enemy it gives them a Trait (one of those purple rhombus buffs) for 5 turns. If you use her 3rd skill after getting a few of those Traits she'll remove all of them and give her allies (10% NP charge × the amount of traits she removed) For example: If you use her 1st skill while the team has let's say...Heracles, the buff is applied to him. If he then uses his NP it hits the enemy 15 times so he'll get 15 stacks of that Trait for himself, if you use Chloe's third skill then Heracles will get 10% charge times those stacks, 15 × 10 is 150 so he'll get 150% charge.

Solemn defense is a bit of a double edge sword. Great on its own, but will mess with your NP orders when using her in the standard Arts shells for a challenge fight.

Problem for me is that there are a lot of good single target DPSers. Same with Summer Melusine and AoE arts loopers. No matter how "busted" a servant seem, they're usually not a big enough difference to warrant a pull for a somewhat mature account. Especially when considering the content we get and how we're limited by AP and how many apples we have available. Honestly previous summer was better with SSRs imo, due to providing meaningful supports, which is something we generally need. I'm saving for the next busted support, but I feel like pulling a bit for Kuro, Barghest and Sith, since they are interesting gameplay-wise. Surprised by how interesting the SRs are.

[@eduardolgn772]

So like I said before she competes with Vlad (for ST arts looping) and Kintoki (for ST 90++ farmer) while is a piece of a servant for CQs being stall or nuke (not need explanation for this one). Also has Solo capabilites and one of best trait for story clearing (divine, look at Enkidu). You may don't need her but she IS the premier ST unit in the game, she'll do pretty much everything you want a ST do and more... no drawbacks at all... even her class disvantage may not stop her most of the times.

If you max Summer Castoria's 2nd append she can have a total of 90% battery for herself.

[@kr555wizard]

I'd still say that vlad and galatea have their edges against bosses over her, since they can run double castoria to support them, without losing out on the overcharge ability, while also having better refund which means they can np loop more easily, and have ramp ups on their np, closing the gap in damage, while also having guts and defense ups which will better synergize with castoria's skill providing invul, they basically come down to being safer units in some aspects, and can hit harder. Multicore farming though she takes the absolute cake over these 2, she by far is the best multicore farming zerker.

[@Byssbod]

Simply by virtue of Vlad being np2 on my account and having his NP upgrade past basatoria's numbers, he's extremely competitive. I'm still grabbing her for 90++ stuff since I love her, but if she isn't np2 she won't be able to fully replace him for other applications lol. He's too good.

My problem with her is she doesnt pair very well wirh Castoria's NP. Yeah sure Blastoria has the special invul as well but it IS only one time 1 turn, and non stackable with Castoria's OC. Just something to note.

[@HunterTracks]

She has targetable two stages overcharge on her skill two, which alleviates this problem. The uptime allows you to use it every second Castoria NP, so it averages out to the same result.

[@anhkduc7930]

That's why i saved for the Amakusa Shirou CE that gives 3-times-2-stage overcharge. When bakatoria come to NA my boss team comp will be invincible

[@kusanagi-no-tachi5303]

This was explained in the video, did you not watch it? She has targetable 2x OC. Just pop Castoria's NP 1st and she gets 300% OC already.

[@BigGreenThreads]

Did you not watch the video ? the part where you can give her OC 3 with skill from summer castoria and then np normal castoria first for a 3 attack shield stack anyways.

[@lhv2k]

Yeah, she's very busted, but also very disappointing if you look at it with a different lense. Because she's Castoria, and Castoria comes with a different standard. Summer servants are usually atleast side grades, or recently mostly upgrades compared to their normal version, but if you compare Caster Castoria to summer Castoria in terms of gameplay value, it's not even close. A single NP1 Castoria in a fully cracked account without her would still completely change and vastly improve that account, a single NP1 Summer Castoria ain't really doing nothing. If you look at it, she's basically just an ST Art Morgan, self sufficient dps that still has 1 targetable battery skill for support, loops ok, and NP also help the team a bit, but can't do immortal comp. Her damage with niche is very high, but also very subpar without niche, just like Morgan. Funnily enough, without niche the gap in damage between her and Vlad is almost exactly identical to the gap between Morgan and Arjuna Alter, it's that far, worse than many 4 star even. But unlike Morgan who will smokes Arjuna with her Man niche, Castoria needs atleast 2 to truly outclass Vlad, but still not to the same extent, and way less target. Also I don't really like focusing so much on niches, as they're bonuses, it only goes to show the damage is so widely inconsistent and dependent on enemies, not to mention all those niche combined ain't really as wide as Draco, let alone someone Gil for the niche to be a real big factor. Btw even with 3 niches against Foreigner they don't triple her damage, because 2 are additive powermods which will become diluted and hit diminishing return with CE or support like Oberon. Summer Kuro is what Summer Castoria should have been, an upgrade from her normal version in gameplay value, a game changing support who bring something new to the game that can't be done before, but is also a really strong dps if you chose to use her as one, bringing big and new value to any account at NP1 without the need for investment, since her support overshadow her dps capabilities. Summer Castoria isn't any of that, a busted dps by Castoria standard is simply a let down.

[@joandaniels7461]

Did you want another new best unit in the game? Wouldn’t that be kind of boring?

They are very close to making her np have 1 turn special invul like Kukulkan S3, guess you just enjoy everything busted and anything powercreep. Fyi Summer Castoria is completely fine even at NP1, a spammable 1 hit 1 turn special invul for the entire party that is not reliant on overcharge is more valuable than you think. She is by no means something to compare to OG Castoria playstyle, and not because she is “weaker” in improving your account (which she clearly isn’t from what you already admitted regarding her self sustain).

[@thomaskoutsogiannis3449]

I dont completely agree.If she hits a supermod,yes,her damage is off the charts,but if she does not,Ecchan and Uncle Vlad generally perform better,with their upgraded NPs offering a big chunk of damage and their far superior NP refund compensating for their lower batteries.

She’s good but nothing more :) wouldn’t use the word broken when speaking about this servant. Doesn’t really add anything game breaking unlike some other servants. Seems like a bit of a biased opinion.

[@kusanagi-no-tachi5303]

Well she's not broken because her NP regen is lower than her competitions. That's it. Being broken does not mean "add something new."

[@velgard.]

Weirdly enough I feel like her card type is the only thing holding her back as np refund won't matter on buster she would be a st kukulkan

[@mrtrd688]

@@kusanagi-no-tachi5303 I didn’t say something new, I said something game breaking. She doesn’t do anything game breaking that’s why in my opinion saying she is nuts broken is a bit of overhype

@@velgard. being buster would make her worse and a lot worse since she will need supports feeding her batteries, turning her into a 3T bot that you will use maybe 1-2 times per year

@@kusanagi-no-tachi5303 "Broken" means the game needs to be fixed to repair what the character broke Merlin was broken and they fixed the game by introducing break bars castoria was broken and they fixed the game by making non 3/3/3 nodes (90+ etc) oberon was broken and they fixed the game by making 90++ nodes Zerktoria is powerful and yet doesnt break anything Powercreep does not equal broken

So his argument is: No she can't loop, but lISTeN she STRONK she REALLY STRONK ooGA BOOga. Rruh, you already have Draco and Kali at 120, what utility is she gonna bring to you as a solo servant? Waifuwanking these days man...

[@kayyam9959]

just saying there's the option to listen and not just skipping.. he already explain everything.. and this is a hot take of a servant.. so he is explainin it to everyone.. so do you think everyone have draco and kali 120? :)

[@farizahmad3036]

Theres nothing wrong for having more options lol Better then just stuck with the same servant over and over

[@kayyam9959]

@@farizahmad3036 everyone is into the word st= dmg only= why need another.. forget all the skill the most important thing is dmg.. is similar trait as to why ppl think juna alter> every other thing.. diff 1 aoe 1 st.. just for this guy we should just make 1 god juna.. 1 st of his choice. .and just delete all the other servant.. why need so many servant in the first place.. i'm sure that's what he want

@@farizahmad3036 but there is something with wasting your money uncontrollably after every new piece of hot meat comes out. Again, people trying to rationalize wasting money like this... Then it was Tonelico now it's Storia... man you people are just itching homeless status 🤦‍♂

Damn, what a dumb take. Yours, I mean.

So the balance team didn't do there job , what an extremely bland character basically no drawbacks.

[@sebastianchavez1225]

Between her and Summer Chloe... definitely skipping this banner.

[@Igloomain]

She is actually the worst. I can't believe how boring her kit is. Big numbers is nice but it's just so basic .

[@user-mg4rc1qw6w]

"best of the best"? "impossible to balance"? ✍️ noted, will never use her, just like her regular caster self at least this time devs didn't go full brain rot and she is not as awful as og castoria

​@@user-mg4rc1qw6wBro you're speaking facts 💯. Don't let the incels hinder you. I hate these units as much as you do. But then again this community has no standards and never will have. Most of the players are waifu hunters with zero knowledge of the game and quited the game before they got to Gawain or a more challanging boss due to them getting carried by supports.
