Sen no Rikyu: Stuck on a Banner with WHO? - FGO Servant Guide

[@Finotaisen]

Correction: Rikyu doesn't regularly hit the hard star cap of 99, but you'll see in the video that she readily hits the soft cap of 50 with Ruler Skadi's help.

Human / Man attribute: It means they were (possibly) real. Man: XY. Human: Reason #10 why Sanson is crap. Humanoid: Featherless bipeds. Living Human: FGO being pedantic. Hominidae: No animal ears. Completely simple and straightforward.

[@jacksonbowns1087]

Yes, it all makes sense now. Thank you, Diogenes.

[@blurb9319]

The ‘they were possibly real’ part gets more confusing within the context of the fate world itself considering how intertwined it is with legend and myth. The fact that Nursery Rhyme of all servants is classified as Human/Man attribute is baffling to me.

[@constantdemonics]

Living human is a trait given to servants that are legitimately alive, not made of spiritron, through various means.

[@Akario3]

​@@blurb9319 I would assume it is because her existence is tied to humanity itself, since fairy tales are a human thing, and she represents both them and the children they are targeting/referencing.

[@drakehound2244]

Small tip for those who think they should do tripple Q to get stars, don't bother since the invention of QAB combo it is more efficient to do QAB combo's to get the 3 buster damage modifier. So don't be fooled doing 3 Quick combo unless you want stars. so dump that 3 Quick NP combo, it is ridiculous :P QAB for damage, QBA for energy regain. that is it.

[@gabsterrivera5674]

I don't think QBA was the correct for the latter: BQA is better if you get deeper into how the Mighty deck actually works

[@drakehound2244]

@@gabsterrivera5674 Isn't the last Card in the deck from the chain that decides what you get for the whole chain, if you put B up front then only the first card gets that Damage modifier. same story with BAQ to get stars for the whole chain. if I am wrong I am not afraid to admit am wrong, but so far NPQB for example pushes up my Noble Phantasmal damage. and QBNP (this case for Arts) give me the energy refund. they never changed that system before the QBA chains was introduced this year. So your BNPA would never give you damage might on the NP chain. pre QBA introduction this year.

[@gabsterrivera5674]

@@drakehound2244 no worries. What I was pointing out was about NP generation using the Mighty deck. As far as I've researched and tested, the whole deck gains the slight bonuses of all card type leads, meaning whatever you put first in the deck becomes the weakest card, so it's safe to ignore which comes first but rather maximize which comes last. Since for the latter part of your Mighty deck you mentioned that QBA is the best for NP Gen, that I disagree since you can just do BQA given the info I have about the Mighty deck since Quick still gains decent amounts of NP Of course it is a given that the NP still does not gain any advantage at all regarding card positions (maybe the card chains but that's it)

[@drakehound2244]

@@gabsterrivera5674 I do understand why you put Q (this case your NPbomb) in the middle for the more attacks damage cause of the old system, but the NP damage hits are fixed. unlike the regular face card where the order of attacks after the 1st matters. (when you can not form a brave chain cause of bad card draws)

[@thomasfleming8131]

​@drakehound2244 I believe Fino has a video on how Mighty Chains work, but my understanding is that NPs never benefit from other cards, save the Overcharge bonus. They didn't get a bonus from the first card pre-Mighty Chains, they don't benefit from the Mighty Chain's all starting benefit, and they don't benefit from a Buster chains increased damage. For normal cards, Mighty Chains give the traditional "start of chain" effect to all non-NP cards, regardless of position. The reason QAB is the default order isn't because that's how you get the bonus from the B card, it's because the order of cards still has effects on their own power. A Buster card in the third slot has higher damage bonus than one in the first slot (all else being equal). So when you're doing Mighty Chains without NPs, you put whatever effect you want the most out of (stars, charge, damage) as far back in the chain as you can

SEN NO RIKYU THE GOAT

[@Kiraidi720]

Even if you have Summer Ibuki and Morgan, Rikyu is almost as good as them, just for Quick, the problem is that they both have not only vastly more broken supports to mess things up with, Rikyu's way of being can be meddlesome when trying to run her with her best supports. But don't let that stop you if you like her though, there's something neither Ibuki nor Morgan can do: The ability to permanently crit after the first turn, don't ever understate how ridiculous it is for a zerker to be able to crit whenever they want thanks to the sort of deck they have, which she thankfully pushes herself towards with S3 alone. She may not be able to do the obscenities SIbuki can or do the immortal shenanigans Morgan's comps can do but she represents what an AoE Quick looping zerker does in their own climate and do it extremely well, she sets the bar for other zerkers to meet or surpass and it's a tall one.

[@thomasbarker9]

It is funny though, more ARTS meta servant released this year in JP then any other meta servants. what in the past was only Summer Ibuki, has been replaced with Space Eresh and Ruler Melusini, and the highest ART berserker DPS is Summer Musashi, I guess even the DEV loves ARTS. who has the most meta damage dealer to choose from, including a Ruler type and a Beast type :P So don't ask me, why they released so many META AOE dpsers for Art. they are simply ART biased. even BB Dubai is ART :P

[@bosunbill9059]

For the history part, another reason u missed is the story of Komahime, (Rikyu's third acension). Basically FGO's Rikyu is the soul of Rikyu inhabiting the body of Komahime, which is why he became genderbent into a granny loli. The reason for that, was both Komahime and Rikyu were famous victims of Toyotomi Hideoyoshi's political brutality. Komahime was a princess from the Mogami Clan, and was bethrothed to Toyotomi Hidetsugu, Hideoyoshi's nephew at the age of 15. And was a castellian of a castle, a Diamyo and a accomplished Samurai under the Toyotomi banner, but sometime during Hideoyoshi's invasion of Korea, Daiko Hideoyoshi and his nephew's relationship start to sour. While there were rumours of Hidetsugu being a brutal lord who unjustly killed his subjects, hence the nick name "Life-killing Kanpaku", many historians start to doubt the allegations as political slander back then. But a more probable reason, which was also the canon reason FGO used in the Tea event was because of Lady Chacha/Yodohime, who gave birth to Hideyori, Hideoyoshi's direct son. Hideoyoshi wanted to be succeed by a direct line rather than a distant nephew, and was worried that once he was gone there will be a succession crisis between Hidetsugu and Hideyori, hence he purged Hidetsugu instead. Which culiminated to Hideoyoshi ordering Hidetsugu to seppuku, accusing him of committing a coup. However Hideoyoshi also ordered the execution of Hidetsugu's entire clan, including 39 Woman and Children, including Komahime. However after Hideoyoshi died, while a succession crisis within the clan didn't happen, a civil war did which destroyed the Toyotomi Clan, as Tokugawa Ieyasu started a rebellion gathering allied lords to fight Ishida Mitsunari at the Battle of Sekigahara, the Mogami Clan, which Komahime hailed from, zealously supported Ieyasu. Later, the Tokugawa stormed Osaka castle who was ruled under Chacha, hence ending the Toyotomi once and for all, ushering in the Edo period.

While I don’t have Summer Skadi but I’m still rolling for gramps.

[@drakehound2244]

Looping isn't the reason for NP2, looping means you can kill everything in 3 turns. with 3 Noble Phantasme. Quick NP2 offset the 0.8 multiplier. and really starts to kick the damage up. Cause Rikyu is berserker, so her damage multiplier and NP2 and her ridiculous high AOE NP (600%) at NP2 it is 800, so even if 160NP gets removed it is still 640 AOE NP. that is really high. So hope that answers people wondering why NP2 for quick damage dealer is the key. NP2 for all your main damage dealer is the key, cause they are the main damage dealer NP2 gives the biggest jump in bonus damage. edit Since somebody gave me the damage calc number I was missing, it isn't NP that get reduced, it is the attackstats ... so your NP doesn't even get reduced. so my previous calcuation doesn't count. so the HIGHER NP covers for the reduction of 0.8 from attack stats.

[@brunobruno-c1d]

the 0.8 is actually a buff, here's a copy from someone that talked about it "Looking at Single-Target, unbuffed NP damage Calcs Buster does 600% Damage, multiplied by the 1.5x modifier for Buster to arrive at 900% Arts is the cleanest at 900%, and since its base damage multiplier is 1.0x, it's still at 900% Quick does 1200% Damage, multiplied by the 0.8x modifier, and it arrived at a total of 960%" same happens with aoe, regardless of a interlude or not quick always had the highest np damage ever since 0.75 got buffed to 0.80

[@drakehound2244]

That is correct she is premier AOE META QUICK looper, and she beats out Summer Ibuki and Morgan at solo AOE if all are NP2, the rest from damages comes from buff stackings. which for Quick is harder to do unless you have Skadi.
