FGO Servant Spotlight: Caren (Amor) Analysis, Guide and Tips

[@bogosbinted1836]

"a spotlight for the only girl you'll be spending money on this valentines" wow that hit hard.

[@GAReviews]

Dont worry I caught myself in the collateral damage

[@ThermalVoid]

Well she is the only girl whom is worthy spending money anyway.

[@frankmarano1118]

Lol it's not so bad when you just got out of a relationship or are single after having had many good valentines days already. But I feel like that would be pretty painful to those who haven't made those memories yet lol. Oof. Well everyones got their whole future ahead of them so don't get too down on yourselves. I doubt there's anybody who hasn't had at least a few single valentines days. & in the mean time you can work on some self improvement like working out, you can't go wrong there. Gotta love yourself first you know? Being your own biggest fan has charismatic value, people are drawn to that confidence

[@lomegalu4961]

they really gave Caren like 40 voicelines, she has so many interactions with multiple other servants in the game

[@joestark_says]

I think 80% of players are going to skip her. Koyanskaya, Oberon, Morgan and Melusine are just too OP to resist.

[@briannguyen6248]

I’m only going for Oberon and Koyan so not skipping Caren! ❤

[@MrDibara]

Remind me again, when does Morgan drop again? 🤔

[@Cav829]

Skipping her for now is something I would recommend to players who would just be going for gameplay, but the thing to understand is once she gets her buff, she's also in the OP crowd. That said, there's no way I'm skipping best HA girl.

[@ahreaper]

@@MrDibara 11th june, 18th aug this year and then 13th apr next year. Dates may vary a bit for NA

[@ahreaper]

@@briannguyen6248 Thats for the best imo. Morgan and melusine aren't as OP as some people say. They're really great and well worth pulling for, but replaceable. Obe and koyan are OP for buster teams, although obe does come with significant drawbacks. Edit: IF ANYONE DISAGREES WITH ME, YOU DO YOU. YOU'RE ENTITLED TO YOUR OPINION, AS I AM TO MINE. IF YOU DISAGREE PLEASE IGNORE MY COMMENT AND ANY FURTHER COMMENTS I MADE HERE AND MOVE ON.

[@Berrueco760]

Looking forward to rolling for Caren, I don't know anything about her character but man does she just look cute and I don't have a SSR Ruler too. Her 3rd ascension outfit is absolute sex too and gotta love that her artist is the same one that does all the Rin faces that I love.

[@ChaldeaGurus]

Great review as always brother! I linked to it in my Valentine Guide ^O^

[@GAReviews]

Thanks Bro!

[@JaimeNyx15]

Definitely an effective Servant, but it’s weird in retrospect that she has no charm in her kit (only charm immunity)

[@reijoshualadjahasan]

Am so glad I got her. not really a fan of her coz don't really know her before but damn she's great in game hahaha her personality is so spot on and the animation is sooooooooooooooo divine and well rulers are my favorite too

[@EliteFreeman]

rolling for shits n giggles on the last day of the event and now im here xD

[@rizalinojuliano3702]

Love the spotlight on her. A slight bit of feedback though. The latter part of her NP is not 'uh gape (with a as in snake)' 'but a-ga-pe' or ae-guh-pei. It's the ancient Greek word for love or charity. The voice actor actually pronounces it right.

[@manchumochi7084]

Wasn’t going to try to get her but I thought I could just try five summons and if not I don’t mind. Got her the second summon and was just like “well okay then”

[@Flaris]

Glad she turned out well. Fan favourites living up to expectations is just a treat when it works out. Still not one of my favourite targets for the year. But will wish her fans the best of luck in rolling for her.

[@Kiraidi720]

Just worth noting, Caren's best supports are exactly the archetype she is, Ruler Skadi is a better honed support than her and still retains an AoE Quick NP as a Ruler, so while they're the best choices for Caren you can also use her with herself (...and herself) for similar, if not sometimes better results given her much bigger buff potency and relying on buffs much more than low potency debuffs (and that paltry Quick Up Caren gets for that matter): Also, if you really care about that, 6CE farming in lottos with Caren is quite tricky if the CE in question has no precharge, it takes something relatively expensive like maxing out 20% starting charge Append Skills or playing it smart with a plugsuited unit to give her what she wants, she very much wants that 20% charge per turn since it can make or break her looping. Her cooldowns aren't very forgiving either, for everything 2nd skill gives at such low potency (and outright not letting her tank NPs most of the time) as well as the taunt being a mere 1T, 7CD is pretty damn long, it stretches itself thin for a CD that could've easily been 6 to compensate, but CDs are a thing that plague her at large before 10/10/10 (if S1 is at all worth leveling). But once you work past these conditions and provided she has her NP upgraded next year (preferably with NP2) she destroys this game's concept of farming and does criminal damage against most CQs, it's all or nothing for those going for her.

[@tsuki1910]

I’ve been waiting for your review on Caren. Thank you very much! Caren is a very tempting servant to pull, especially her baby version. I may just try to get one copy of her if I do roll.

[@Argo_the_Ratfolk]

Thanks for the great video Oni! Sadly I must skip her due to financial reasons, but I hope you have good luck in getting her!

[@Mister2204]

Will you make the top tier of the best characters like last year? It has helped me a lot and just this year I have no idea who to focus on since almost all of them are very good

[@GAReviews]

I plan to, but not sure when it'll drop.

[@tiramisumochi3123]

Appreciate Oni you working OT to upload this vid in the dead of night! This girl is a farmer build into CQ disguise imo. Her kit is all about keeping her NP top off for the next turn while added in additional useful effects since shes a fan fav. Not many servants in fgo does buff block cause its so OP like clearing buff before NP. Glad her kit work in sync with her playstyle. I'm gonna go cry again about how DW mess up mama Nobu and Lesangle still didnt do enough to make her relevant again. Caren just for a refresher of that 😅

[@stephenbocknick4204]

Got her with the left over Orion quartz. Some very good valentines rolls.

[@laughingstock6078]

one rougue ticket is all it took. i am truly loved by the quick servants. too bad thay aint meta anymore but i will never leave them cause they didnt left me.

[@ksfallenangel5770]

I got Jeanne and Caren on the same banner within 60 quartz. Double Rulers.

[@LostLogbookA9]

Just got her to np2 today, loved her during the event.

[@msj3888]

Must keep saving for Melusine...which pains me since I love Caren since her 1st appearance in HA. Maybe I'll get lucky in a GSSR but good luck to players actually rolling for her!

[@milky1234123]

man you need to post guides again i love them so much cause you do them so well

[@7jaws7]

I obviously want Caren but my FGO account is so well rounded I'm good just trying to ticket her. Honestly this Valentines the only girls I'm likely to spend any money on are in NIKKE, for their outfits and trying to get Soda (same voice talent as Mona and Chika)

[@Ghaleonh41]

Managed to get her this morning! Will have to aim for NP2/3 when she comes back!

[@wrestlingfanman22]

As much as I like her, especially having gone through Fate/Hollow Ataraxia, I'm focused on Morgan, Koyanskaya, Oberon and the summer servants. I can't afford to lose focus brother.

[@nethead4986]

Went for 3 or 4 summons to get CEs, got np2 Caren as a result

[@KumiStellari]

This one is absolutely pronounced "Uhg-ah-pay" as it's the greek word for Unconditional Love, like God bestows upon humanity. Keep up these videos, they are great ^^ i'm trying to push Caren to level 120

[@Orchestruction]

I know nothing of her outside of Carnival Phantasm as I have yet to play HA but she looks fun.

[@Kumire_921]

She's more of a fanservice servant for Hollow Ataraxia fans, so 1 copy on JP in enough for me

[@plugsuitsecondskill]

I love her so much I'm so happy I got her in just a few pulls! The baby np always cracks me up everytime it comes up lol.

[@jasonhauze3422]

843 quartz 38 tickets. These also need to go to Melusine, so hopefully, Caren doesn't go full Sadist on my stash.

[@7jaws7]

Good luck. I would honestly just try and ticket her, that's my strategy at least. Only use a few a day and hope I get lucky because no other servant is coming close to touching my Mélusine fund.

Congrats!

[@MrDibara]

_That was a solid intro, SoberOni._ GG. 😁👍 HOLY FUCKING MOLLY, those Passives! 😱 Terror Immunity is *very much* welcome, as is basically everything else on her kit. Trully, I think the only other Valentine's Servant who can outshine her is Bazett and she fills a totally different role to Caren's. (one is a farmer, the other a boss killer) But what do I think? "What do I think" you ask, SoberOni? *_I think my Lv 70 Angra Mainyu will start having the best nights of his materialization._* 😏 *_As will Caren._* 😇 (if you know, you know)

[@umarzafir9286]

[@michaelmcdoesntexist1459]

You almost sold her to me. I know some friends who are gunning for her so that's good news. Good luck to everyone!

[@BonkerGg]

just 1 thing, isn a enemy np charge drain but a decrease np charge + battery, that line that you said was like the vampirism so i just wanna add this line here.

[@kars6026]

I go all in for her... i want my karen even i skip taira.

[@Cav829]

The main thing I'd disagree with is from using her a ton on JP she's more like an A/A+ post buff than an A- with the right resources put into her. I also heavily disagree she can't compete at the top with Arts and Buster down the road in a R. Skadi world, as with the right setup she can handle almost every node structure in the game and offers some of the best damage across three waves of any farmer. But she's a hard servant to discuss because she'll be in one state pre-buff and pre Oberon, R. Skadi, and NP buff and another once all that stuff drops. But to date my NP1 Caren (for instance) has handled more 90++ nodes than any of my JP servants save Melusine. Of course, that's just my opinion and I don't want to overly nitpick a few grades in difference.

[@kazekori9593]

I was planning to get her then i got her on jp twice so now im reconsidering getting her

[@erickfuentes5625]

Cool video! I'm sorry for asking again if someone already asked or it's not the time or the moment for this but I'm wondering something... We will have a video about the Tier List banners for this year? 😟 I was kinda expecting the video for this year so I can save/planning my SQ carefully. 😌 Thanks!

[@7jaws7]

The servants this year far outweigh the CEs, in fact the best CE might be Ocean Flyer that we can buy in the Summer 6 event shop. So just focus on the servants. Priority is subjective, but Mélusine is who I would save the most for, because you want her at a higher NP level. Oberon and Koyanakaya are both fine at NP1. Same with Morgan, and she even gets a lot of banners compared to most SSRs.

[@GAReviews]

I plan to but dont have an exact date when

[@akurami2201]

I just did a single multi on her banner, for lolz. Got her + Martha. 30 sq spent, still have 532 left til Castoria.

[@NotTechnicallyHere]

I think Agape is not pronounced as in English but rather in Greek, and it refers to the highest form of love

[@justalex4214]

Completely maxed out spishtar as my go to farming unit and since we might get lb6 a little early Caren is gonna be a skip for me even tho she's pretty useful as a ruler.

[@kurokawaii8362]

Wish they Would Given Caren a skin for her second ascension could litteraly just be a pallet swap changing it to black.

[@ryojimata3708]

The fate crew in na is filling out. We still have a couple people left that are on the jp timeline. One mapo priest and a counter scot. I'll be going after Caren and everyone's favorite Aztec one-san

[@MrDibara]

Counter *Irish.* 😠 The person you're mentioning is from Ireland, not Scotland. _Speaking off,_ DAMN. We don't really have a Scottish character yet, do we?! 😳 I mean, I know they made Boudica wear a kilt, but she's technically a Celt or a different group, right? MAN, do I want William Wallace summonable now! _Him or Black Douglas._ 😏 "DOOOUGLAAAAAAAAAS!!!"

Watched the whole video, yet still caught up on the fact she's a masochist...wouldn't have guessed that by looking at her. Be funny if that was the sole reason the Throne assigned her specifically to be a Ruler. Speaking of fan favorites (though I maybe in the minority here) I have been hoping for a long time for Angelica Ainsworth to become a Servant.

got her! i know many will skip but as a mini whale, I care not. next up will be a certain Pretender ❤

[@TheStuffEnjoyer]

@10:15 So basically Spishtar and Morgan are still better investments? Gotcha bro~!

[@Cav829]

It's a huge "it depends." I have all three on JP. Morgan is the best overall but the worst farmer of the three as much as I love her unless you're going into NP2+ territory. Her damage mod is the widest in the game, but when not in play her damage can be an issue. But she's arguably FGO's best CQ DPS atm because of how strong her immortal comp is. Spishtar is kinda eternal because of her three card type NP, but she can at times struggle on wave 1 and 2 damage now that we're in a 90++ world. Caren requires the most resources to put into, but offers the most consistent damage over three waves of the three and is the most versatile for different node structures due to having so much charge available (280% starting from 0 with 2 Skadis, an Oberon, and mana loading investment). But Quick has the most limited support options of any card type and we're in a holding pattern until R. Skadi drops. The other thing with Caren is it's about investing into the future as she won't realize her full potential until she has her buff and R. Skadi is out. I would recommend pulling for the one you like the most more than worrying about meta as they are all great servants that will fill most of your needs.
