[@JarloftheNorth]

And then along came Skadi.

[@ZetsubouGintama]

I still have a grudge against angry dad with minigun because he give Kariya a hard time. If he didn't have mad enchantment I am sure Dadcelot will gladly helping Kariya rescue Sakura.

Don't blame lancelot but Zouken

[@nathanielcatan6657]

It is Zouken's fault for giving Lancelot the mad enhancement

[@keneasley33]

Don't be hatin' on ol Lance now. Yeah he needs baby sittin' but that's with most bezerkers. With the right team he's a pitbull on steroids.

[@dagon7259]

Exactly what I thought of him, his damage from his NP is just so good for wave clearing especially since he's a berserker. I have a friend that has NP5 Lancelot with LB Kaleidoscope and its just broken.

[@isillor529]

I think half the game has that one friend at this point.

[@luzhang2982]

Yep, paired with a hans / waver, so gooooood. I am that friend on NA, and the fp just roll in daily

[@HawaiianForgeStudios]

Hans + Waver + Lancelot = unkillable lancelot that does alot of damage due to his own and wavers skill buffs.

[@KJK9029]

Guess I just need a waver and I'm set. F2P though so it's hard :

[@HawaiianForgeStudios]

Its not hard Kaleb Kraft, just find someone who has a waver as their support servant and just use him, you'll otherwise be waverless for a long time.

[@someoneelse4939]

And the scary thing is that, as a saber, he's even better o.O Also, "The battle is to the strong" as background music is quite epic, good choice! :D

[@GAReviews]

Can't wait to do a spotlight on his Saber form, and good ear lol

[@pewpewx1]

The scariest part about Lancelot is that he is outclassed only by Minamoto, and she won't be out in NA for a long time...

[@BrunofanofK]

Yeah, for like, one turn. This kind of servants are not dependable. They can bê monstruous If you get a brave chain or burn a command Seal. Having to hold Fort until you get the right hand is not viable in battles that matter, and this is with my Merlin. She get way too much credit because she is waifu material, braging about How strong she is with Merin is redundant since he is Second strongest Servant im tha game, losing only to anyone he is curretly supporting.

[@nightshrine4257]

2 years later. There are a decent amount of 5 star berserkers who are stronger than Lancelot

Might add that to future spotlights, thanks for the suggestion

NEW ANIMATIONS FOR HIM, NEW RANK S

[@forhundredsofyearsilaydorm9301]

Pair him with Hans and Waver and put Imaginary Element and, with even two Buster Cards, you're looking at well over 100k *easily* I can only imagine the chaos that would ensue with an all-crits Buster Brave with THAT many buffs... Oh! Also, Anniversary Blonde's Mana Burst helps quite nicely.

[@SnakeEyeJoe]

I just want you to know that I absolutely love your assessments of all the servants in the English version so far. I've been playing the Japanese Version since it was released, but I've learned so much from your videos. Thank you for the work you do!

[@GAReviews]

Thanks! Glad my videos can help

[@Rayfireful]

Now that saber lancelot is here, I team up mashu with both dad and really demolish anything, especially lancer type enemy I'm surprised how compatible both lancelot with each other, and with mashu provide defend, the 3 really stand up to anything

[@matthewallen2273]

So two dads can raise a daughter. This is good news.

[@ianhunter363]

I actually just got Beserker Lancelot off of the Beserker gacha event and came here to see if he would be good or not to use. And from what I can tell it seems like he Is indeed worth the effort to train up. This is the first four star Berserker I've gotten and I'm glad to finally have a gold servant for every class! (Still kind of bummed I didn't get Tamamo cat or Nightingale, but I'll take what I can get.)

[@LeykRoss]

I never was interested in Lancelot since I already got herc but this video changed my mind. Great video, thanks for the information and waiting the Moongodess guide

[@GAReviews]

Thanks

[@abdallahm96]

I have him and Gil. This paired with one of my two Waver friends he becomes a bulldozer.

[@Rayfireful]

I put lancelot with waver and irisviel, basically he never died (well, he died 5 times, but guts!) Waver help him recharge his np, defense and attack, especially crits, irisviel heal and give guts buff to him, buffed lancelot use np to gain cs for buster brave chain, and repeat

[@JaimeNyx15]

I got Zerkerlot as my first free SR more than a year ago because I loved him in Fate/Zero, and holy crap have I never regretted anything less. He’s now NP5 for me and my MVP.

[@pukipuki6712]

Got this guy in the Arjuna alter banner, have me a heart attack.

[@Washed2289]

I'm glad you recommend CE's in your reviews it's extremely helpful. Please keep up the great work!

[@GAReviews]

Thanks, will do!

[@rokketman159]

Yeeeeeees! More great content! Keep it up guys! :) P.s: Wait, is his Noble Phantasm a mini gun!?! I can't tell.

[@PaulNBlack]

GamerX 7712 I don't think it's a minigun... It looks more like he ripped off a mounted gun from some armed vehicle, Knight of Owner allows Lancelot to grab anything that can be considered a weapon and make it a Noble Phantasm

[@GAReviews]

Thanks!

[@SmoothJK]

Your analysis is spot-on, and Kscope is far and away the only CE that makes sense on him.

[@truebacca221]

I hope to God,He allows me to get skadi for this guy

[@ShadowCDoom]

Well i have Lancelot(X2) and had him with Kaleidoscope, but for now at least, i have him with Teacher and I since it can help somewhat with his natural starwheight and still gives him a pre-set charge to his NP. Still waiting for his Strengthening quest so i can see him just crit kill everything he touches

[@roxasdrayheart5561]

thank you so much. i drew both him and Atalande in some lucky draws and ive no clue how to properly use him. Great tips! (hoo boy am i glad i have 2 kalideoscopes!)

[@GAReviews]

Roxas Shade Wow you're lucky lol. they work well together too

[@roxasdrayheart5561]

haha, got lancelot from a summon ticket. although i think i used up my luck for the next while. i really doubt im gonna get any 5*- they so rare! and yet i have friends who have whole teams of 5*!

[@ravenralph123]

Finally have 3 K-scopes coming from three different banners this year. That is why Lancelot is one of my core farming servants but I'm using him to kill the first wave then produce crit stars to swap him with a ST servant for the Boss battles if I'm not using my Arts Teams.

[@Suesserto]

I got him on Okita’s banner, with Np2 for Okita and Drake NP1. I was feeling lucky that day.

[@LoneWolf20213]

I would make his noble phantasm a buster card Make him have his eternal arms mastery as a self buffing skill And make his second skill equip a evade and defense up Fixed in my opinion Edit his second skill need's a evade and defense up for him to be able to increases survivability, and his third skill need's a gut's, then we are talking

With my NP5 Lancelot and Skadi x2, I can just empty my energy on the 40AP QP/EXP dailies in about 8 minutes while on my way to work (and my job is 9 mins away from home). As a guy who lives a pretty busy life irl, this makes my favorite KotR knight invaluable imo!

[@FinalFantasyArtist24]

As someone with a NP 5 and max kaleidoscope equipped Lancelot I can confirm his ridiculously awesome status. He pretty much just sweeps all those event quests with multiple servants. So glad he spooked me so many times during the initial Gilgamesh event.

[@GAReviews]

I bet he is putting in a lot of work for this christmas event

[@tarantula51]

got him on the achilles rateup lol

[@penbrush793]

A fair and balanced review. Thank-you for the review!

[@luisvega6033]

Rulers don't have a particularly high crit weight, just the same as your average Saber and Assassin. The classes that have high crit weight are Archers and Riders, so don't pair him with those unless you have his first skill at high level.

[@GAReviews]

Archers do have high crit weight, but the ones that produce stars like Atalanta usually produce enough to offset it, I singled out Ruler because people might be tempted to pair her with lancelot to protect but unlike Atalata or Gil she will just absorb the stars without producing any so it is better to use a caster with much lower crit weight like Hans to do the supporting

[@harlee4052]

Bro thank you so much for these videos. Every time I roll a new servant I instantly go to your channel. Just got Lancelot a few minutes ago.

[@GAReviews]

Congrats! And glad the vids help

[@harlee4052]

G&A Reviews Yea man. I've been playing the game for maybe a month or two and have like 9 4 star servants so far. It'd be cool to get a 5 star shiki or something but I'm honestly ok with the servants I have. I've got Salter, Hercules, Marie, Assassin Shiki, Marie, Lancelot, Fionn, and Stheno. (Wish I didn't have Stheno and Fionn.) And I don't really have enough materials to invest into them all for a while. So I'm probably gonna be busy for a while. I've got A luck.

He spooked the hell out of me in the current Nero Gacha. What's funny is that I had gotten Siegfried literally in the one-shot before him. (I was crying cuz I thought I got UMU.) I guess Lancelot saw me being all sad and decided to be my first ever 4* Breserker. I still Can't believe I got 2 4* with 6 quartz :P Oh, and great review by the way, all of your reviews are really helpful.

(she doesn't speak English very well so I can't directly show her the video >

[@DD-fs7pg]

I wouldn't give him an A+ simply due to how much specific support he needs and specific CE. And even then, he's hard to defend most of the time. I'd give him a B+/A- probably

[@GAReviews]

Fair enough, I was teetering on giving him just an A but I pushed it to A+ just because I was considering just how strong he is for the early events and how he still ranks near the top of crit damage dealers even in JP

[@PaulNBlack]

I still remember when I first started the game: welfare roll = Herc, then Lancelot, TamaCat and Emiya for my first 10-roll... Most would say "re-roll for 5* servants" but I had a really good feeling, and they did make farming at the start of the game extremely easy so I never rerolled... And indeed Lancelot+CA Hassan is a beast combo along with a friend's 3rd Ascension Waver

[@cesarvillalobos6118]

I would love to hear your thoughts on Chevalier D'eon. I can't decide wether I want to continue leveling her up or just leave her be and try my luck rolling a different Saber

It'll take me a while to get to Chevalier, but in the meantime I would suggest working on getting another Saber, save for Okita.

[@dylanlam10]

I'm seeing a couple of comments talkin Skadi memes here, but for the peeps like me who have salt bc they couldn't or didn't pull her, I wanted to share a reliable team comp I've used quite a lot for Zerklot. In a lot of ways, his crit manipulation is geared toward clearing a wave and into burst damage. While Skadi is great supporting him, her quick buff is mainly supporting the NP while ignoring his buster deck. So in my opinion, a really efficient team comp and scenario when I would run it, would be to clear 2 waves (but also possible with three) with your frontline being Zerkalot (kaleidoscope 2 waves/aerial drive 3+ turns), Caster Gil (2030 for +8 crit stars/painting summer for art card effectiveness and starting np), and a Merlin support (yes ik merlin is obvious but he's underrated in supporting Zerklot) So say the first wave is 3 different class enemies with lowish HP (15,000 ish). Using Merlins Charisma buffs both attack and fills the last 20% of Zerklot's np gauge. Zerklot's uses that high hit count QNP to drop tons of stars (after using the second skill) while clearing the wave, and those crit star numbers only go up when applying Caster Gil's 1st skill (crit star drop rate buff 50-100%), the 8 crit stars from the 2030 CE, and optionally a quick card or chain (Q/Q/QNP or Q/NP/any) for an extra 3-10+ crit stars if possible. His high attack and berserker class modifier will be enough to clear that first wave, but if you feel uneasy abt Zerkalot's ability to clear a wave (say you're against 2 low hp enemies and a medium hp enemy 50,000 ish). NOT TO WORRY, you have Merlin's Charisma already, the self atk up buff from the NP (activates before the NP and scales with overcharge), and Caster Gil's Charisma. The buffs will continue to last for three turns, so going into the next wave with a single boss enemy (200,000 ish hp) you already have 3 atk buffs on Zerklot, and 99% of the time (unless you're dealing with a major crit star debuff) all your cards would be guaranteed to crit. Now hopefully, on that next turn, the RNG will draw a hand with a brave chain for Zerklot (for maximum damage we would go for a buster brave chain). This would then be the time to use Zerklot's 3rd skill (for the crit damage increase 30-50% for himself), use the plug suit to gain ANOTHER attack buff, swap another servent with charisma in to further buff, and Merlin's 3rd skill to buff both buster effectiveness 30-50% and crit damage 50-100%. Zerklot is then capable of some really DISGUSTINGLY high crit damage numbers. With, 5 attacks up buffs, 2 buster effectiveness buffs (brave chain and hero's creation), 2 crit drop and damage buffs, his class modifier, and an extra atk, there isn't a lot that can survive. And EVEN without doing a buster or brave chain, you could easily finish off a high hp enemy in a turn or two, because the capability of even just one of his Buster crits ends up being around 170,000+ damage (I haven't maxed his skills yet so it goes up from there lol). The team composition is also built around compensating for Zerklots low NP gain, and low survivability. And although the deck itself may look imbalanced (3Q,7A,5B) it plays very well in practice. His crit damage skill (3rd) is also an NP gain rate buff (I primarily use offensively, but in quests that have 3 waves, the first wave you can take a turn or two to gain enough NP to use on the next turn, if you don't have a kaleidoscope but maybe Imaginary Element, Aerial Drive, or a CE with starting NP). Caster Gil's Arts buff works well in synergy with the last skill to fill up his NP gauge quicker if activated before an arts chain (which would be common to get because of the high overall amt of arts card in the deck)(with Zerklot's Arts card being last for more NP gain) and Merlins offers not just his NP gain Charisma, but also a good SOLID defense for the team tied to another crit star drop rate buff. (I prefer to save the skill for the defense, usually in case things go wrong, like saving me from a stray NP). As for Caster Gil and Merlin's NPs, while I don't often need to use them they also add to the team synergy. Caster Gil's Melamu Dinger, post rank up, has all of the things Zerklot needs (buffing def, debuffing enemy def, and another crit damage buff) while also dealing okay AOE damage allowing you to clear a low HP enemy wave (also drops a decent amount of stars if you time his NP when his skills are active (1st and 3rd) If you're not as concerned abt losing 8 crit stars you could swap 2030 for painting summer to boost Gil's 3 Arts cards, and his arts NP damage. Garden of Avalon offers more survivability in its heal, NP per turn, and EVEN MORE CRIT STARS (passive for 5 turns and depending on overcharge). You could even go one step further by doing an arts NP chain (ANP/ANP/A with your choice for what you want to overcharge) as another strategy to quickly fill Zerklots NP gauge. The only major worry issue for this team comp is the RNG of it all. That is, the fact that after Zerklot uses NP, none of his cards could be 100% guaranteed, let alone a brave chain, which wastes the burst damage potential, all the stars dropped from the Zerkalots NP the last wave, and a turn on all your buffs. While it is sometimes an issue there are lots of workarounds where you can salvage or trade off some buffs for consistency. You could take preventative measures like only using card type chains to count the RNG cycle and ensure a high probability of a Zerkalot brave chain (and by thinning out the other card types besides buster before his NP, the last RNG cycle would most likly have more buster cards 3/5 of which are all Zerklots). Another solution that comes to mind would be to power through to the next turn, taking advantage of the already active star rate drop buffs, and using quick cards, but trying for a quick chain. Knowing all the quick cards are guaranteed to crit (which gains you more stars) and that you also gain 10 stars from a quick chain, you could end up with more or less stars than you need to guarantee that every card crits, but using his 1st skill he ensures that the entire brave chain will crit. The easy solution, more simply just swaps your plug suit mystic code to the mage's association mystic code, giving you a reshuffle (also not guaranteed to have his cards because it starts a new card cycle) but you won't be able to use all the atk buffs from the other mystic codes. The last strategy I can think of would be to put summer BB into your 4th slot, and after using all of Caster Gil's skills at the same time to swap him with BB, then anticipating for that decent brave chain for Zerklot. Using BB's 3rd skill to lock the order, ensures the BIG THICC burst damage on a single target. (cons to bb would be that she eats stars too and does neutral damage). I also recently watched a video which made me actively think of berserkers in a crit support way, because of the Berserker class's poor star weight it feels like a passive skill, much like Kings Invisible Hand to all other allies. And now that I think abt it, he now really does play 3 roles: buster crit, star gen, and crit support (due to how he can manipulate stars on a low cooldown)

[@dylanlam10]

oof and/or Waiver too

[@ravenralph123]

Zerk Lancelot is quite interesting to use. Actually there were only 4 berserkers I have used Herc, Pentelhesila, Lubu and Kiyohime. But now I have Zerklot used in battles that involves multiple class servants in case Alter Egos will be on use. I have grinding a lot for alot materials and EXP before a will take the Pseudo Singularities.

Thanks to the 4 Ticket I didn't know getting a servant to lv 70 2/6/6 in 10 minutes was possible

[@nineflames2863]

Ok, looking back at these old videos, the meta sure has changed lol. Are you planning to redo some of the old reviews? There are quite a few points here that should probably be addressed: 1. I wouldn't call his NP his "bread and butter". It's amazing for farming, sure, but you won't get it off multiple times per battle. Now that the crit meta is starting to gain steam _that_ is his bread and butter. 2. Jeanne d'Arc is _not_ a crit star magnet. She has Saber star weight (99). Lancelot gets to 300-600 depending on the level of his first skill, so he's still going to get all the stars. She also generates a good amount of stars with her first skill and gives Lancelot a ton of survivability. 3. Golden Sumo or Halloween Princess with a Waver is probably better on him instead of a Kscope. Outside of that Victor of the Moon is pretty amazing as well. 4. Merlin. Once he comes out he's going to turn Lancelot into an absolute monster. Sure, that's true for most servants, but Lancelot utilizes every single bit of Merlin's kit perfectly. - Attack + Mana Charge? He definitely wants that. - Invincible + Crit Star drop rate? Perfect for him. - Buster Up + Crit Up + HP Max Up? Hell fucking yeah. - Passive heal + passive stars + passive NP gain? Pretty much fixes all of Lancelot's problems and them some.

[@GAReviews]

[@JohnPeacekeeper]

You give him an A+, but I find that whenever I use a support Lancelot he's pretty much one of the most useless Servants. I believe I mentioned in one of your streams, when you were asking us which we considered the Fionn/Stheno of the Berserkers, that I found Lancelot to be the worst of them (which seemed to shock you), and here's why, purely based on personal experience: "His Noble Phantasm is his bread and butter", and therein lies one huge problem. Unlike the likes of Kiyohime (who literally has 2-3 times the gain of the average Berserker) who could get her NP up from zero in like 4 (3 in an Arts-hybrid team) turns even without boosting her NP gain, this guy takes FOR-FREAKING-EVER to get his NP up even with Kaleidoscope (fastest I've charged it with him is 3 whole turns, unlike Kiyo who tends to go from 80 to 130% when I've Brave Chained with her) Not to mention that with Drake, you have a Crit Star Generator that can also buff, and Emiya outclasses both as a constant star generator once he gets Hawkeye. And then there's Nobunaga, a free Servant you can easily NP5, who is superior as a crit damager (same could be said of Emiya, but if it's a Buster Brave Chain I think Nobu takes it) And his other problem lies in his durability. I've had Kiyo solo Ruler-type enemies (from France) without much issue, thanks in part to her ability to tank to a degree, and she wins the DPS race thanks to Madness Enhancement EX and crazy good NP gain. In practice, and I've tried using him in a lot of setups that do not require Waver (albeit this is before I started using Taunt tactics), and 80% of the time he literally just dies in 2-3 turns without ever popping his NP. In conclusion, looking at the factors: good crit gen, good crit damage, awful survivability, awful NP gain, lack of flexibility even for a Berserker, constant need of babysitting; the cons simply outweigh the pros. And they are some BIG cons against pros that you have better Servants for anyway (among the Archers and Riders, even with class disadvantage against them) So, if I had to rate him, I'd honestly give him a C- for lack of flexibility and consistency. He'd only really be good if you built the whole team around him, and while that's good half the time, the other half the time you need a team that can be flexible enough adapt to unexpected variables. And in my experience, Kiyohime pretty much has him beat in every way except in the way of critting but that's not an issue because my Archers and Assassins deal with that, and has a lot less weaknesses to the point that she's the other Berserker who isn't Herc that doesn't need babysitting. Granted, it could just be that I don't build a team around a single Servant (instead going for either flexibility or overall synergy), or my tendency to hand the job of critting hard to my Archers and Bryn. I trust you won't take this little critique too hard :)

[@GAReviews]

You know me by now, I like criticism lol. Honestly he is on the list of servants I need to reevaluate. I wanna get that video out soon. I am gonna redo the grading for him, Kintoki, Jeanne, Emiya, and Arturia. Though you are being a bit overly harsh I think. He is a servant that is meant to have a team built around him and he only does one thing which is crit. I agree he lacks flexibility, and survival. But ever berserker not names Herc or Cu Alter lacks survival, even with Kiyo's def buff she isn't gonna tank much harder, maybe only a couple of hits. And the main draw of Lancelot is the damage output he can produce in 2 turns. He will outdamage Drake and Emiya with his NP alone and as a berserker he has type advantage against anything so you don't need to worry about fighting lancers or assassins. His crits are also some of the strongest in the game and deal extra damage against everyone because he is a berserker. So for example, in a boss rush, Lancelot can realistically clear an entire wave of bosses and then do 200k damage the next turn from the crits alone. Plus he is pretty much the only option for a crit berserker outside of Raikou who is a 5* so that is a strong niche. But back in these early reviews I didn't have a formula the way I do now so they are all inconsistent. In Lancelot's case I overestimated him based solely on his niche as a crit berserker and for how useful he is in challenge quests, because next to Raikou he is the best boss rush berserker. But outside of that, he is very subpar and almost useless on a non-crit team since all his skills are crit based. I don't want to give him a definitive score just yet, until I do the re-evaluation, but I'd say he is somewhere between B- and A-, which is a wide range lol

[@user-vj2om7xr6v]

I’ve been lucky to 4 star AOE berserkers : Tamamo cat , Fran , ChaCha and now Lancelot . Not complaining about it , he is the best berserker I have now and with Merlin he will be unstoppable with crits

[@skyboy884]

Just wait for Skadi, he will be one of the best (if not the best) servants with her

[@k4lepoching982]

I’m surprised the more recent comments don’t mention Skadi shenanigans. Thanks to her Skills he can now pump out Stars like crazy to the point it easily passes 50, gets delicious amount of NP Refund combined with his Mana Reversal (both when he uses his NP) and destroys any and all Mobs with Crits if his NP doesn’t do the trick. Him and Dantès are now indisputably the Kings of Farming. If this man ever gets an NP Strengthening everything is going to die. EVERYTHING. I’ve got a NP4 Lancelot myself and only a mere Month away until I try for MHX Alter. The future for the Quick Meta sure is looking bright.

[@GAReviews]

Yep Quick is finally on top

[@DashedSimpusMaximus]

I got him at np 5. Should I Grail him to 90 now? I'm doubting.

[@yangnator7168]

hey man im really liking your videos they have been a great help since im new to this game, i was wondering if there will be some kind of temporary gacha banners that offer increased chance to get specific older servants, simply because i really want Altria but i dont want to risk on a normal 1 % chance banner

[@GAReviews]

Yangnator Yep, gacha rate up banners come around all the time and Altria is very popular she gets a ton of rate up events.

Is the game available on mobile? I want to play it

[@GAReviews]

Yes, on Android and iOS

[@nathanielcatan6657]

@@GAReviews ok thanks

[@bananagod5530]

I got skadi. I will take Lancelot on the 4 star ticmet and Roll for Atalante alter on Apocrypha event next year. Goodbye arts team.

[@elated6253]

funny enough, i was listening to this video while rolling my last 10 quart summon. didn't get lancelot but i did got kaleidoscope bought a summoning ticket and rolled once more and i got lancelot. i believed it was pure luck but the other side of my brain believed its because i listened to this video :)

[@elated6253]

P.S THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@GAReviews]

Congrats lol!

[@mantisonmoon983]

plz do Melloi II

[@TheMechanizedsnipe]

easiest summary ever next to merlin. Spam his buffs as often as you can or when you're about to nuke some fool with NP's. other than that just keep him alive as often as possible without sacrificing damage. grab 2030 for CE and you have a disgustingly strong support caster that, with merlin, is in his own tier of "completely breaks the game"

[@mantisonmoon983]

Amatsukaze_DD thx

[@vader1481]

bruh when i first used him and saw all his attacks I said DAAAAMN he's packing heat

[@lammatt]

he is so squishy tho i cant keep him alive... i was trying to Okita + Jack + Lancelot

[@GAReviews]

Put Hans on that team in place of Okita or Jack and he should live slightly longer

[@pyaephyozan225]

Can I do with Mash, Fuuma and Him

[@13ishup]

and destroys lives. Tell that to king Arthur ...

[@joaquincastellano3900]

I have a question for you, which is your favorite Summer 2017 event servant. Mine is Nero, as she has to be the most powerful Caster in terms of damage right now, plus her animations are Amazing.

[@GAReviews]

Nero, I always love Nero lol. Her animations are absolutely beautiful, lover her NP, and she works really well with my Penth since I don't have Waver or Merlin. Shout out to Fran too though, I loved her way more than I thought I would.

[@xiaoyanlin5846]

well, I got 3 Lancelot at the start of the game without any account change (cause I don't know that exist), and with the one I got yesterday, it makes np lv4 , pure luck (only with free quart)

[@fahmitajjuddin9863]

nice music

[@themrmezbah]

Please do a servant spotlight on Henry Jekyll

[@napattangyusuk7144]

already have lanslot and herculis but no any support servant lol gacha hurt me a lot

[@anubisgodess2353]

Hi there me again another old video what would be good craft Essences to apply to Zerkelot? Especially since I'm go heading in the Babylonia.

[@GAReviews]

Generally anything that buffs quick cards or NP gain, like someday in summer if you have it or gandr

[@lilmaxforever]

i just got him today, i do have waver, but is it cool to replace atalante with jack or okita? since he wants some of that crit star?

[@GAReviews]

Yep, that works even better

[@markguirguis9846]

just got him from proto saber banner in japan server.

[@1991vastolorde]

So since Atlanta and Hans were recommended, would you be able to run other archers/assassin's for critical star generation or do those classes fight over critical gain too?

[@tristanhemm]

You could run assassins/archers just fine, it's just that atlanta and Hassan are the best crit engines in the game right now for NA. Lancelot's skill makes it so that he'll grab crit stars at such a high priority over everyone else that the only conflicting class is ruler, which has one of the highest crit grabs

[@luisvega6033]

Rulers don't have a particularly high crit weight, just the same as your average Saber and Assassin. The classes that have high crit weight are Archers and Riders, so don't pair him with those unless you have his first skill at high level.

[@GAReviews]

As long as they produce a ton of crit stars I would say you can run them with Lancelot. I advise Atalanta because even though she has higher crit absorption than Ruler she can produce enough stars to offset that. Jeanne just kinda sits there absorbing stars and not producing any in return

[@HDRafiki]

I will use Atlante as support if i had one! D':

[@danielguardado4574]

Do u only cover the servants in the english version or all of them?

[@GAReviews]

Only English version as they release, so eventually I will get around to all of them

[@Tobias-jw2gu]

Spent 790 Q on tamamo, got one lancelot instead

[@r.a.fgattaiguy845]

Don´t know if I should focus on leveling him or Tamamo cat

[@GAReviews]

Lancelot is a lot better, but personally I like Tamamo cat more lol

[@r.a.fgattaiguy845]

Oh well, gotta go for the waifu then

[@possessedloneliness1253]

Lol I am in da same spot but imma go with Lancelot cuz he is at np2

[@thanosztitan]

Saber Alter vs Zerkerlot for bosses, which is a better pic for high hp opponents? Who else can you guys recommend for tough bosses? dunno who to pick in sr 12 mill free event. I just started playing a month ago NA and now struggling in Camelot hehe.

[@GAReviews]

If you need a boss killer Herc is probably the best SR you can pickup. Otherwise between those two Saber Alter is slightly better damage-wise, zerkerlot is better for farming

[@thanosztitan]

@@GAReviews oh thanks! I have Herc 70 np1 does he need np 2 or just pick someone else who else would you pick for dealing max damage to bosses? my herc isn't cutting it whe needs a stronger damage dealer to tandem with...

[@lightofheaven4381]

Best dad in fgo

[@edgarrodriguez5904]

do you guys know when his strengthening quest is available?

[@GAReviews]

Can't really predict it accurately, the JP strengthening quests came in batches pretty randomly or were tied to special events.

[@georgeasiago7143]

I have CA Hassan, but no Atalanta or Gil, but I want to eventually get both. What would you recommend as a replacement until then?

[@GAReviews]

George Asiago Lancelot and Emiya if you have them, otherwise any Rider servant works well in crit teams since they have high crit damage and star absorbtion, in particular Ushi

[@iamviable5268]

I don't have Atalante. Any replacement? I got lvl 58 Waver, lvl 46 Hassan and good Lancelot (Supp). Do I need Atalante?

[@danielak1666]

joshua hwang atlante is more for burst star gen and a quick buff. It's not mandatory, just a good team mates. CA Hassan is good enough for me)

[@shiroishida2594]

Will Atalante have a spotlight?

Yep next week

What do you think of Prisma Cosmos?
