Earthly Elegance - Archetype Earth - Arcueid Mooncancer Complete Analysis!

In this complete analysis we're talking about the Archetype Earth, aka Arcueid Brunstud! The moon princess herself has decided to grace FGO with her earthly elegance! Coming to us as an AOE Buster Mooncancer, she'll understandably have a lot of comparisons to draw. With her 100% charge skill, unit field effect, and ability to charge allies she certainly will have some interesting uses. In this complete analysis we'll be covering that kit, how it stacks up to competition, how she works on a mechanical level, how much damage she can put out, CE options and more!

Arcueid is going to be the talk of the town for awhile here. She's certainly an amazing unit, but I wanted to address whether or not you really had to have her. And like normal the answer is no. She really shines in mixed nodes full of chaoticly aligned enemies, but you'll see her get used simply because her easiest comp is relatively fast. That alone makes her worth having, but again not a gotta roll scenario. Thank you all for watching, I hope you enjoyed the deep dive on her kit and damage comparisons! If you did don't forget to give the video a like and subscribe for more! 👌

[@anonnimoose7987]

Answer is no, for you need NP3+ to make the attacks effective, save for Skadi?

[@d43m0n412]

So my question is for her is she capable of farming 90++ content and if she is at what np lvl does she need to be to accomplish that? Because I feel like that was a very major thing that was left out of the video because you spent so much time dancing around the whole if I'm going to roll for her "should" I roll for more copies...

[@providencebreaker1558]

As an OG Type Moon shill I have no agency in this scenario. Just like with Void Shiki I must roll and I must roll hard.

[@Jettison42]

Agreed and good luck!

[@MattyRoshi]

I pressed the thumbs-up so hard, my phone screen cracked.

[@Dorrovian]

Good luck!

[@aikawa-kun9871]

Ah, i see you're from the old school Type-moon fans as well... Truly cultured one.

[@DarkSeraph]

Same here I've been waiting for her to come to NA since her JP release.

[@scares3859]

I've developed a fondness towards ✨Arcueid✨✨ for more than a year now. I've read her route many times in the remake vn. I AM WILLING TO GET her at her peak potential in fgo. I am well aware archetype earth isn't as amazing in gameplay as she should be(according to lore) but if I invest more on her, I can make her a really good neutral buster 3t farmer as she can efficiently and effectively farm with just double vitch + atlas MC (using BG ce for the best dmg scenario). Keeping her gameplay aside, her being in fgo, her being a fanservice is where she really shines. Devs have given her beautiful in-game design, visuals and sound effect aesthetics. Till to this date, she has the highest number of voicelines in-game. Let's cope for the best scenario, I hope those who are going to roll for her, get her at as minimum sq expense as possible.

[@j_Snow]

The only (probably impossible) scenario worth for me is gettinh Arcueid early because i want Skadi on summer and i don't want to roll all my SQ on her in the anniversary

[@znyo0217]

that okitan art is prefection *_chef's_*_ _*_kiss_* also been waiting for arc for a year now xD

[@mrharvy100]

FYI to this day she never got a new dedicated banner even in JP. That alone can make someone try to at least NP1 her just from a rarity perspective. Compared to say Summer Skadi who gets another banner not that long after her initial one. Even if tomorrow they release a banner for Japan you are still gonna be waiting years to try again assuming you didn’t luck sack into a GSSR. Also the whole “do you NEED this servant?” topic that always gets brought up…unless it’s a premium support servant like Castoria, Koyan Light, Oberon, and Summer Skadi for their respective teams…there isn’t a “You NEED this!” servant. Yes that includes damage dealer servants like upcoming Summer Ibuki that is getting hyped up because end of day she is another arts looper where JP added more of those since then including another good one that is Summer Melu so she is less unique compared to the previous group I mentioned. Anyway Arc is also unique in the sense that additional copies of her actually does way more compared to other servant NP copies since more NP copies doesn’t just increase the base NP damage, but uniquely ALSO boosts the conditional damage amp which usually is stuck on overcharge scaling at best not NP level scaling for other servants. So theoretically (people already did damage charts long ago) a NP5 Arc might as well be a different servant then NP1 Arc since the damage difference is way more night and day difference compared to other NP1 vs NP 5 comparison. I will say if you are rolling for her I would initially shoot for NP2-NP3 if you are not a whale. NP1 hits like a wet noodle with or without damage amp, but another copy or two and her damage is considerable better. End of the day she is also a premium 100% battery servant which is great in certain team builds in general for certain farm nodes + makes her super BG friendly. That is my personal reason to pull her because even by JP standards there are not that many AoE damage dealer servants with at least a 80% battery (and then you max append) and especially a 100% (most that already do are via Rapid casting, but those are usually casters not the ideal damage dealers to begin with). Allows for more flexible comps compared to the 50% and under battery characters That said overall for Summer/Ani I would rank my priority Summer Skadi >>>>> Merlin Proto >>>>> Summer Ibuki (if you’re not pulling multiple copies of Arc) = Arc (if you are pulling multiple copies).

[@Dorrovian]

Funny thing, our priorities are almost exact opposite :D Mine is Arcueid >>> S. Ibuki > Lady Avalon >>> S. Skadi XD

Would be nice if passive ramped up 30% -> 40% -> 50%, dependin on field stacks active at the moment.

[@xero5367]

If they were to give her a buff in any sort of way. Please, just allow her to give herself that extra 30% from her 3rd skill. Melusine has a 130% battery as well. It wouldn't be crazy to say Arcueid could do the same thing

[@dstreetz91]

That, or I'm just holding out hope for an NP upgrade when she comes back on JP that does the Ozy thing and reduces all her skill cooldowns by 1 whenever you NP. Lorewise Arcueid >>>> Melusine anyways.

Dont remember her appearing at carnival tho, and last time I have rewatched it was this year. Btw for me it is, "Hey! its that girl from mbaa who I have used for at least 40-50 hours, tho she wasnt quite at level of my main."

Skadi and ibuki supremacy.

[@goatedconfirmed1337]

Considering she’s the latest 5* moon cancer to be released and she has yet to get a rerun I feel like getting her NP2 will be good enough to actually use her with MLB BG Then my other thought process is since I have bb and van gogh my moon cancer doesn’t need np levels to do good damage on top of summer coming up with SIbuki/SSkadi and Lady Avalon I might just use anniversary as free sq for summer lol

[@anonnimoose7987]

I'd say NP3

[@nurventilatoren]

I hope I'll get her, even though I don't really need her that much (since I already have Summer BB). I hope my 80 or so Max-Ascension Servants give me enough Pulls for her. I'm getting her for redundancy.

[@darksteelmenace595]

Would have loved to see her compared to Melusine as well. I'm still very torn on wether I should roll on her. I don't really want to waste a lot of SQ on a unit that does next to nothing for my account, but she is kinda cute, can't deny that.

[@DarkSeraph]

If you want her you're going to need NP2 or 3 to get good looping damage.

[@darksteelmenace595]

@@DarkSeraph thanks, good luck on your rolls as well. My account is not insane, but I've covered pretty much most of the farming servants I need and I have the good supports. I just hope its good enough for 90++, but I don't think Arcuid is a very good 90++ farmer

[@mwekis]

Is Koyanskaya the best 50% charge support for her in a double Oberon setup? Since you aren't relying on cooldowns, anyone who can donate 40% charge should be able to work with maxed mana loading. Are there other supports that can offer more damage than Koyanskaya?

[@d43m0n412]

The only servant that otherwise gives a big buster damage increase is Merlin and he unfortunately only gives a +20% np battery...

[@ryojimata3708]

Slowly but surely ani is approaching. I plan on putting her to good work. And spend alot of quartz on at least getting her to np2. Just a remind on jp you could get up to over 1k sq during it

[@skycladobserver9246]

I think I'll be passing on Arcueid to focus on Lady Avalon and Summer Skadi. My NP5 120lvl 2k Fou'd Spishtar agrees.

[@Draconated]

What are the brackets for summer Kiara?

[@temyar55]

I assume it’s if Kiara’s skills “level up”

[@The_Avalon]

The normal NP column shows her damage with her skill 3 debuffs but without her supereffective niche while the brackets show her damage if her debuffs fail. For the "enchanted" column, if her supereffective niche would fail as the stacks she applies are also considered a debuff, then her damage would be that of the normal non-bracket damage. An easy way to think about it is this: Brackets: Normal damage with no debuffs (they failed to land) Normal: Normal damage with skill 3 debuffs Enchanted: Supereffective with skill 3 debuffs Hope that makes it a little clearer.

[@danck941]

I was planning on saving for Lady Avalon, but if she is that rare and never coming back perhaps I should grab her instead?
