[@helios2664]

@@cuppu4525 They have different roles though, Tamamo compliments Castoria, as she provides things Castoria doesn’t. Those being heals, cool down reduction on skills, and NP damage. Having some kind of sustain is an especially big boon. Because as good as Castoria’s solemn defense is, you’re prone to getting chipped out as it’s only 1 hit without overcharge. And Castoria herself doesn’t have any sustain in the way of heals, so Castoria + Tamamo and your arts dps is ideal for difficult content.

For the last lotto's third 90++ node I needed a Castoria NP in order to do enough damage to the pharaohs, and I didn't want to risk getting a support Castoria that didn't have the battery append maxed. So instead I let the friend support be Oberon while bringing my own Castoria along, ha. Having a Castoria yourself lets you do stuff like that. I find that Arts is by far the most flexible card type in both farming and hard content in regards to what DPS you can bring.

[@SomaSchiffer]

you needed divine damage and Nero bride as a support would have given it to you or as a DPS Tezcatlipoca gave a lot that apart from that he would have facilitated everything in a monstrous way

You shouldnt have a problem finding a maxed Castoria w/append to follow/friend which negates this logic tho

[@ninjakidkat12]

@@Fearienify I had friends with maxed appends on her, but I decided I'd rather not have to check whether the Castoria I want to bring has it maxed every time I ran the node. I don't need any appends on Oberon, so it's less effort to just pick him instead.

Thank you to spreading the word , about castoria in 90++ , and specially about multicore farming , i dont see a lot of people doing videos about this last topic , from now on not only you need to think about rolling meta supports, now you need to think about multicore damage dealers like tez , but that is a problem for future me :p .

[@Seiterno]

Before watching : she's the most f2p support in the game. With other support you need NP2 servants, MLB kscope, and much more, while with castoria you MIGHT want to have black grail but it's not necessary

[@casteanpreswyn7528]

"Most f2p support" they said about a 5*, and then saying "you'll also need a 5* ce".

[@casteanpreswyn7528]

@IDGAF About Your Waifu maybe the 0.09% of pulling her? Like, outside of EN foresight, it is ridiculously unlikely you pulled her on the first banner. And when we consider they don't announce banners until about 2 weeks before they drop, you'd have most likely no way to get her on the rerun either. Meaning, you'd have to fuckin pay to get her. To this fuckin day, Paracelsus is still the best f2p arts support in the game and George is still the best overall f2p support in the game cause they don't require using any Quartz.

[@casteanpreswyn7528]

@IDGAF About Your Waifu like, you can't be serious when you say "how is being a 5* make her not be the best f2p support in the game". By that logic, how is Summer Kama or Summer Ibuki not the best f2p farmer in the game? Also, liking your own comment is sadboi shit.

[@GS_CCC]

​@@casteanpreswyn7528 you can 6-slot with castoria from the sup list and Xu FU/Waver (from free SSR ticket) + a looper( habetrot, Iyo and gong are some free top tier examples.) And no/free CEs.

[@KoutaRain]

Phenomenal video and delivered at an amazing time. People for whatever reason think Oberon instantly makes their single core NP1 damage dealer capable of blowing through every 90++ node and that's simply just not the case. Castoria is incredibly powerful and versatile in these 90++ environments when running multicore teams that can deal with these stages more effectively and reliably.

[@bleach4k239]

Another good thin about arts looping is they can loop 4 times in a row which buster teams cannot. And you don't have to roll for premium buster DPS. Theres plenty of AOE welfares coming up (ranmaru, the vietnam shota, iyo, and summervalks) Buster and Quick teams have no survivability options.

For me, 90++ node is usually not worth it unless it's lottery event since most event have finite material shop so all it really does is gain some extra bond point and make the dead week even longer than normal which is suck because the next year implement 3 weeks event for everything aside from lotto and story chapter. So I decide to only roll her at November next year instead since every other stuff I care about is before that JP banner a few month and after the NA a few month.
