Yeah but the big 4 are characters we will probably never see again in terms of sheer bs, like Merlin for example, I seriously doubt we're seeing a better buster support, he's the peak. Same with Phantom, we're never seeing someone as useless again.
Hard to imagine someone like Ivan with such a well-rounded kit and near spotless skillset is the "worst" of the LB Kings. When I first saw him 2 years ago I thought "How can they make someone so perfect?" That goes to show how broken all of these LB Kings are. Still trying to get him in NA. Hope Myst does, too.
@@MikuOlliet all of them are amazing and borderline broken can't wait to see the LB5 and LB6 King (which we know his name) Imo Ivan (i repeat imo) is better than Arjuna Alter because he offers a lot more than pure damage (Buff Removal atk down Buster resistance down) That said this doesn't matter if you're able to finish the fight quicky with Arjuna Alter
Can we also talk about the fact that he and Antonio Salieri are like made for each other? They both generate 10 critical stars per turn for 3 turns with thier innocent monster skills on a 5 turn cooldown. They both have the same exact deck type (BBAAQ) which makes their deck very consistent. Antonio’s low critical star absorb due to his class allows Ivan to soak it all up. They both have above average attack for their class and star rating. And to top it all off, they are both on the same banner together! I ship it!
I'm extremely grateful he came to me when i try to get Salieri, but now i'm in bone hell... again. The man sure need a lot of calcium for his huge body.
I love how you never mention Merlin and Waver in the team comp section because they go with everything. I won't be rolling for Ivan since I have Ozy, Quetz and Drake, but he's definitely a great pick up.
I remember showing a friend who doesn't play Fgo a side by side of Ivan and Ereshkigal and I asked him: "Guess which one is the tank." Imagine being the Giga Chad that is Ivan, a 12 foot tall wall of muscle just to take less punishment than a 5'2 Blonde Rin. I get that's not his purpose but I always found the concept of a Rin being tougher than this embodiment of testosterone hilarious.
Me: **Looks at the SSR/SR Servants in my Chaldea that are sitting at Lvl 1 due to me being poor on Embers.** Also Me: "He's a giant elephant-thing, Imma get him. Still Me: **Gets him second 10-Pull I try, but can't get Ana even after blowing 300 SQ** Conclusion: Ana hates Ivan. Shocker, I know.
@XVII I'll just have to rely on either her spooking me at a later date (since she gets added to the general summoning pool after this rate-up) or maybe when there's a Caster-focused summoning I'll try for her there. She looks like she'd be a great Arts DPS Caster and similar to Da Vinci in that regard, though not as NP spammable. I'm saving up for Battle for New York. Gonna get Gil and his CE hopefully.
Didn't intend to roll originally, thought "eh, I'll try to get Salieri". Got Ivan. GAME SHTAP I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH RIDER MATS FOR THE PEOPLE I HAVE. Edit: Also, that Osakabehime Archer NP is 100000/10 need her in my Chaldea now, wtf hurry up summer 4 event. :P
I knew him two years ago and I am very impressed by his design and his skills. I like him so much that i used his CE bond for my homework. I will roll him for next few days so wish me luck.
Thank you so much for this video I've been waiting for you to drop this one! I was able to able to get him to NP2 plus I rolled Anastasia afterwards. He's my first 5 star Rider and personally my favorite when it comes to his overall kit and design. Keep up the great work and amazing content!!!
Loved the Napoleon cameo ♥️ You really should consider mentioning iskandar as support as he has a 3T NP, crit and ATK buffs, not to mention he drops stars with NP and gives DEF down.
He is s or ex in my opinion. Goat of rider. Great skill, excellent np gain (after skill), decent aoe damage, good crit star generator thanks to decent hit on quick, riding ex, and innocent monster, very versatile thanks to aoe buff removal and self buff removal, good survival thanks to invincibility. Excellent dps when u pair him with buster support. What could possibly go wrong?
JunkDogoo thanks a lot Medusa is my only max out 3 stars servant. She helped me a lot against Anastasia but she whooped me and i had to use 1 SQ to defeat her My shower thoughts yesterday were if i had him and faced her i will put a video on youtube with a title “Tutorial on how to beat your wife”
Bruh same with me and my grailed Vladzerker, he was my first ssr that I got a week after playing in June. Everyone said he was shit at the time but I used him all the way through Babylon and he carried his weight just fine.
@@hashimalz he's mostly fine, but people call him bad because he is truly terrible outside of Arts teams because of his shit NP gain. In arts teams though he is a solid general dps with some utility in the form of star bomb and charge drain. He is also quite durable for a Berserker because of his guts. Still, most of his issues were solved by his Strenghtening in JP, his NP gain now is extremely good and he can even solo stuff because of the layered Guts
I'm late to this, but for support servants, Tamamo is exceptionally good to run with Ivan for longer fights. Her skill set and NP compliment him perfectly if you treat him like an arts servant. Only thing missing is stars which you can get from some other source like Merlin
Ive been trying to roll for him since he came out, now im going through the lostbelt just to get sq! I hope i get him! I enjoy your spotlight, Ivan the Terryberry needs more love~ hahahah
I rolled a pack this morning for Salieri. I only got Salieri to NP2 but I got Ivan as well! I like how he dwarfs my other servants. I have Ozy and Drake but he may become my main rider if hes as strong as you say. I use Buster teams and Arts teams about 50/50 so he will get some use when I am going with Buster. I'm just dreadfully short on QP and embers for leveling right now.
He's SO FREAKING COOL! I'd LOVE to roll for him but I really just can't justify it. I have like, 200SQ and I'm gonna save most of that for bigger targets later in the year. Shame though, Takaya Kuroda does an OUTSTANDING job with his voice.
I spent the 12 tix and 180 SQ I had saved & scraped toghether for Ivan, and no dice. MP 4 Salieri, Np 2 Nitocris, and NP 1 D'Eon and Siegfried. Last chance will be the login ticket in a couple nights since this is his Only Rank Up banner outside GSSR.
This banner that features Ivan and Salieri was one I waited a long time for. On my main account I wanted Ivan since I needed a good Rider, and my alternate account needed Salieri since it did not have an avenger. Of course, I rolled Ivan on my alt acc, and got Salieri .x4 on my main acc. RNGesus hates me lmao
He spooked me during Salieri summoning. Salieri never showed but he did! I actually needed a aoe buster rider. Im happy. It wont be optimal but he will be supporting my Quetz.
As much as I love Inskandar and Drake(and soon Achilles) , this big guy is Best Aoe rider for me, he rides a mammoth and has the pointy hat 🙃, also he's a beast in Gameplay
Actually I roll for Salieri and I do not want Ivan because I got Rider alter, yet I got him. However, after I watch your review, I kinda relieved. Thanks.
in english, the skill names are: 1. Mental Schism A 2. Innocent Monster (Foreign) A 3. Emergency Prerogative A (honestly Emergency Prerogative sounds cooler than Emergency Power just because it sounds more difficult)
I see so many people saying how they got him accidentaly from burning tickets for saliery, and then there's me burning over 400sq to get gramps on jp. Feels bad. Well, at least I got every SSR I rolled for since the start of the year
Koyanskaya: Buster Servants can't loop their NP without me~♡ Ivan: *Наблюдать* He was a buster Servant who could fire his NP on back-to-back turns _on his own_
Good news: I managed to get Ivan in my 5th single roll. Bad news: I had to spend another 100 SQ just to get Antonio. Compensation was that I was spooked by Kiritsugu and Moedred, so it wasn't all that bad
this are the banners that the 3stars has lower rate compared to the 4 and 5stars 😂 got ivan and atlanta alter and love the review as always was waiting for this for a while now
This banner is broken as hell, I just wanted to NP 3 Salieri and ended up rolling 129 SQ and 15 tickets to get 2 Ivans 1 Arjuna 1 Tamacat and 1 Salieri after all of that, today I wanted to try to get him at least to NP 2 so I did 3 single pulls = Nito and Salieri
He actually does very well with someone who can provide him with extra stars and gauge. Stick him with a Merlin/Waver and Eresh and he’s a great main DPS, with Eresh appreciating the Buster buff. Team: Ivan (Bond CE/Crit Damage Up) Eresh (2030) Waver (Bond CE) A solid, nasty team that can pump out consistent face melting damage.
was def luckily to get him since i only had marie and anne+mary for gold rider, just need to level him up now. But im sure i will hear in a few weeks time that i should have saved for Achilles XD
Thanks for the review! So, Ivan is definitely a really great servant, but maybe just a step below the likes of Ozy and Luchadora. Good to know! Shame, he’s a bright star in such a strong class. Still a great pick!
I got super lucky. Chose to wait until last day of banner, and to only do a 10 roll (as I want to save up for Summer BB). First ten roll... got Heavens Feel and Ivan. I guess my first 7 months of game without a Five Star is paying off ;)
Are we not going to talk about how pairing him with Hans and Leo, (both of which are 2 stars) generate a suffocating amount of crit stars as well as taunting enemies to Leo and away from Ivan and Hans. Take note that when Hans gets his buff he can target Ivan with it and make Ivan have even more np gain, as if it wasn't good enough before lol. My team comp which is all low stars minus Ivan does tremendously well and for F2P if they got an Ivan or have one on their friend's list, they can easily build around him without needing SSR or SR. Didn't think of Nero Bride when building his comp, but that's a great idea. I filled the back line with a Merlin for obvious reasons, but Eggplant is also there for her overall amazing skills and np which can pair amazingly with Ivan. Edit: Forgot to mention that you missed an amazing CE for Ivan, which also works well for King Hassan. The CE is Pharaoh's Xcoatol. It gives 15% buster buff, 15% np strength, and 15% np gain.
Even with as prevalent as the Skadi meta is in JP I still frequently find myself reaching for this big boi. Another good unit to pair him with from my experience is Iskander, especially after Iskander gets his second skill buffed. Post buff Iskander is able to offer Ivan an attack buff through Charisma and both a 3 turn NP and crit buff through Military Domination Tactics. Given that these buffs stack multiplicatively with Ivan's own Innocent Monster skill it leads to some very impressive damage that you're able to keep up for most of the fight thanks to the low cooldowns.
I got this guy on my alt account earlier. Didn't need him on my main when I have Ozy, Drake (np2), Quetz and Iskandar. I think my alt only had Maid alter as ssr rider so I just rolled because I was bored and then RAINBOW
Saved up some gems so I could do a 30 roll for the Ivan banner. Wasn’t really expecting much after coming off of spending way too much money on the Berserker banner, despite Ivan being one of the units I wanted the most when I first started playing. Started my 30 roll. First card: *rainbow spinning* Me: :O Ivan: sup My boi is stronk. And I had a lot of Rider stuff saved up because I hadn’t used the ones I have much xD
See I would roll for him, but I’m chock out of luck after rolling Arthur prototype with a ticket (without even wanting him), np2 vlad and nightingale, and finally what I was going for, Dino boi cu alter who I’m currently still maxing out. Lv 92 and I’m out of qp. So I’ve got my hands busy. Also those were my first np2 5 stars, I couldn’t believe it.
The Tzar has arrived at my Chaldeas. I like to think when he calls the Shadow Border a quaint living space, he's annoyed that its not designed with his nine-feet tall yaga(?) ease of use in mind in mind. Also, that Salieri rate up feels like a lie. 12 tickets and 270 quartz begot One Ivan, one Salieri, three of every other three star, and NP6 Assassin of the Nightless City. TZAR SHALL TAKE THE FRONT LINES, MUSIC MAN SIT IN TROPHY CABINET WITH PIANO.
The resist to roll for Ivan is real. I'm instead going for Achilles and looking forward for his spotlight. One of my favs from Apocrypha. Good luck to those rolling for Ivan though
Couldn't summon Ivan sigh... lacking in SSR AOE riders only have Drake at NP1. While a high NP Kiara certainly helps with any deficiencies with the cavalry classes. It would be still nice to have a good AOE rider.
I got him trying for Salieri. I always had hoped for an SSR Rider and his lightning has graced my domain. Damn Lanugo farming. I had him face off Anastasia on the final battle so he can get back his tsardom
Definitely balanced but at this point of my account especially with the plethora of rider servants I already got hell rider kintoki by himself wreaks things for me when I need him to I personally don't feel I need to go out of my way for ivan right now. If I get him then that just means I have another rider to abuse but right now I think I'm pretty set on riders at this point. Hell even just buster servants in general I'm overflowing on when just jalter and Salter with max bond ces plus Merlin make them an overwhelming power house duo for me. At level 90 no less.
I feel like Ivan is the Pinnacle of what DW was trying to go for in epic of remnant, but done right. Which is to make a balanced servant. But instead of having severe drawbacks and detriments or gimmicks tied to their skills they give Ivan a just well rounded skills with average stats to compensate This ends up making I've been a more enjoyable and usable servant
"Riding EX"
Imagine getting crushed by those thighs
Yes please! 😩
😳
It's EX because instead of riding, say, a horse...Ivan IS the horse...or in this case, a giant elephant-thing.
Gigantic. Mammoth. Thighs. 😀
@@sergeantassassin3425 i believe mammoth is the word you're looking for.
He's supposed to be "Ivan the *Terrible* " not "Ivan the Perfectly Balanced"
Ivan the terribly balanced.
Have you seen that face?!
Thats why he's Terrible
DW isnt supposed to be creating something as balanced as this *cough cough, the Big 4 and Phantom*
Yeah but the big 4 are characters we will probably never see again in terms of sheer bs, like Merlin for example, I seriously doubt we're seeing a better buster support, he's the peak.
Same with Phantom, we're never seeing someone as useless again.
@@gibbygibbstein7858 But we have, Gilles caster is almost as bad as Phantom
Hard to imagine someone like Ivan with such a well-rounded kit and near spotless skillset is the "worst" of the LB Kings. When I first saw him 2 years ago I thought "How can they make someone so perfect?" That goes to show how broken all of these LB Kings are.
Still trying to get him in NA. Hope Myst does, too.
Ok, I know Odysseus isn't the real lb5 king, but i would still argue he's worse. But yeah, compared to Skadi, First Emperor and Arjuna Alter...
@@MikuOlliet all of them are amazing and borderline broken can't wait to see the LB5 and LB6 King (which we know his name)
Imo Ivan (i repeat imo) is better than Arjuna Alter because he offers a lot more than pure damage (Buff Removal atk down Buster resistance down)
That said this doesn't matter if you're able to finish the fight quicky with Arjuna Alter
In the long run, Ivan is really better. Cant keep berserkers forever.
ikr
Azap City eh I don’t think he’s better than Arjuna Alter but that’s just me
"president of the big boi club"
(except he's a tsar)
How......did you get padoru in ur username
What the fuck
@@lillyputian5907 its a channel badge
I never came this early before.
Ivan is TERRIBLY awesome.
*lenny face*
When I first got him in JP: Meh.
Now: *He's so THICC*
This was the fastest ten minutes of my life, Ivan is the most interesting servant I’ve seen in a long time
3:45 Sir, you did not *JUST GO FROM 21% to 71% WITH ONE ARTS CARD*
Oh yea lol

Salieri is a bit more of "above average attack for his star rating" he is the 3* with the most attack of the game
I'm extremely grateful he came to me when i try to get Salieri, but now i'm in bone hell... again. The man sure need a lot of calcium for his huge body.
At least its bone month
Of course he need a lot of calcium, have you see the size of his tusks?
Me: Looks at my SSR Riders (Drake, Iskandar, Ozymandias)
Also me: Rolls for another SSR Rider
same for me and even worse is that my iskandar and ozy are untouched.
Wait you guys actually have 5 star riders xD
My ozy almost bond 10
I love how you never mention Merlin and Waver in the team comp section because they go with everything. I won't be rolling for Ivan since I have Ozy, Quetz and Drake, but he's definitely a great pick up.
You have a strong roster of rider. Nice
I have Ozy, Drake, and Maid Alter and I'm still rolling for him ^^ got him at NP1 and NP5 Salieri
@@KevZ012Good luck, I hope you get him
@Jaymiracle I have almost every rider in the game and I still went in hard for the FATBOI
@@Jay-gm7vh good luck, I hope you get him. He is really good
I remember showing a friend who doesn't play Fgo a side by side of Ivan and Ereshkigal and I asked him: "Guess which one is the tank."

same bro, same
I wanted Salieri all I got is ROMA!!!
Ivan spook gang
@@littlecat1727 FGO JP is about to get ROMA!! as well
Literally same, I used one ticket, JUST ONE, was like "Salieri please come home" but then he popped out, not mad he's my first good rider
Yes! Yes! YESSSSSSSSSS! This is what I am talking about. Thank you thank you so much. I have waiting for this for so long. Again thank you G&A.
I knew him two years ago and I am very impressed by his design and his skills. I like him so much that i used his CE bond for my homework. I will roll him for next few days so wish me luck.
the USSR anthem was my catalyst lel
He's really good, but somehow the least popular among the LB kings
Yawnjoo5 Given that he’s a tsar, that’s incredibly ironic.
that's because the other 3 are broken, Ivan is pretty good, nothing more
Cuz he’s ugly
Because he’s a fucking bitch
Uh, playing Mario Party 6 over netplay was my catalyst and I got him my first single, even was a rainbow roll.
Ivan's a great Rider, and I wish I could roll him.
Sadly, this is April, another phenomenal Rider's turf.
Yay finally Ivan’s spotlight! My first 5 star Rider and I’m stoked it’s him. Thanks for the review :)
Oh man, "The Terrible Analysis" eh? Finally being honest with yourself?
Now there are two mammoth bois (sort of): Darius III and Ivan
Put Ivan, Darius, and Iskandar on the front row and be like
*"Dis is so badass"*
Thank you so much for this video I've been waiting for you to drop this one! I was able to able to get him to NP2 plus I rolled Anastasia afterwards. He's my first 5 star Rider and personally my favorite when it comes to his overall kit and design. Keep up the great work and amazing content!!!
Thanks! And glad the video helps

You really should consider mentioning iskandar as support as he has a 3T NP, crit and ATK buffs, not to mention he drops stars with NP and gives DEF down.
"MAMMOTH DAD!" -me when ivan came along with my final salieri copy
Ivan's name can be... Misleading
Your profile pic really fits your comment
Great review, you gave him justice for some people who would sleep on him, he helped me out soo much in LB5.2
Rolled the GSSR for Merlin but got Ivan, had to revisit this vid to restore my faith in my E luck

I'm in awe at this A B S O L U T E U N I T. 🤩
Even with as prevalent as the Skadi meta is in JP I still frequently find myself reaching for this big boi. Another good unit to pair him with from my experience is Iskander, especially after Iskander gets his second skill buffed. Post buff Iskander is able to offer Ivan an attack buff through Charisma and both a 3 turn NP and crit buff through Military Domination Tactics. Given that these buffs stack multiplicatively with Ivan's own Innocent Monster skill it leads to some very impressive damage that you're able to keep up for most of the fight thanks to the low cooldowns.
But pairing Ivan with Iskandar will lead to them fighting over who will get the stars though? Since none of them got star gather buff.
Got him at NP2. Thank you, King Yaga
I got this guy on my alt account earlier. Didn't need him on my main when I have Ozy, Drake (np2), Quetz and Iskandar. I think my alt only had Maid alter as ssr rider so I just rolled because I was bored and then RAINBOW
Servant spotlight for Mash (Ortenaus)
never roll for a dude before.
and not even now... try my best to saving for skadi.
Ivan is terribly fantastic! OH BOY!
Saved up some gems so I could do a 30 roll for the Ivan banner. Wasn’t really expecting much after coming off of spending way too much money on the Berserker banner, despite Ivan being one of the units I wanted the most when I first started playing.
Started my 30 roll.
First card: *rainbow spinning*
Me: :O
Ivan: sup
My boi is stronk. And I had a lot of Rider stuff saved up because I hadn’t used the ones I have much xD
See I would roll for him, but I’m chock out of luck after rolling Arthur prototype with a ticket (without even wanting him), np2 vlad and nightingale, and finally what I was going for, Dino boi cu alter who I’m currently still maxing out. Lv 92 and I’m out of qp. So I’ve got my hands busy.
Also those were my first np2 5 stars, I couldn’t believe it.
The Tzar has arrived at my Chaldeas. I like to think when he calls the Shadow Border a quaint living space, he's annoyed that its not designed with his nine-feet tall yaga(?) ease of use in mind in mind. Also, that Salieri rate up feels like a lie. 12 tickets and 270 quartz begot One Ivan, one Salieri, three of every other three star, and NP6 Assassin of the Nightless City.
TZAR SHALL TAKE THE FRONT LINES, MUSIC MAN SIT IN TROPHY CABINET WITH PIANO.
The resist to roll for Ivan is real. I'm instead going for Achilles and looking forward for his spotlight. One of my favs from Apocrypha. Good luck to those rolling for Ivan though
Couldn't summon Ivan sigh... lacking in SSR AOE riders only have Drake at NP1. While a high NP Kiara certainly helps with any deficiencies with the cavalry classes.
It would be still nice to have a good AOE rider.
Ivan the Terrible Drop Rate, didn't get him and he was supposed to be my 1st SSR Rider, I even prepared bones and rider exp cards for him!
How much did you spend?
I got him trying for Salieri. I always had hoped for an SSR Rider and his lightning has graced my domain. Damn Lanugo farming. I had him face off Anastasia on the final battle so he can get back his tsardom
Did 2 summons and got a random Nightingale. My first 5 star berserker, so there’s that. Have a 5 star in every class except Foreigner
Definitely balanced but at this point of my account especially with the plethora of rider servants I already got hell rider kintoki by himself wreaks things for me when I need him to I personally don't feel I need to go out of my way for ivan right now. If I get him then that just means I have another rider to abuse but right now I think I'm pretty set on riders at this point. Hell even just buster servants in general I'm overflowing on when just jalter and Salter with max bond ces plus Merlin make them an overwhelming power house duo for me. At level 90 no less.
Here he is, probably the games MOST underrated servant.
Eric Bloodaxe: am I joke to u?
Ya mostly because he's not a waifu lol
@@kennycringeworthy Eric isn't nearly as useful (scope farmer), so he's more just unknown than underrated.
"Lie-berry of Ivan the Terrible" cmon man
I was thinking about a combo; Jack and Ivan. Jack can generate a quick stars and Ivan could get the majority of that. Quick and hard
No banner until 3rd anniversary are going to take my quartz.
Looks like something out of a dark souls game will roll for him in a few days due to failing to get Anastasia plus his kit is pretty damn good
Time for Fate's biggest boi
I've been using Semi with him and I LOVE it
I must resist the temptation... Skadi is close, i need to resist the terrible temptation... I NEED TO RESIST
Let's see who's next! After such a stellar servant we have... cardboard kun, a... anti dragon AOE caster with saber lily esqe stats. What.
I'm tempted to roll for him but I already have too many rider servants and I'm waiting for Skadi.
I just noticed, his final ascension art looks like an elephant. Real clever DW
I feel like Ivan is the Pinnacle of what DW was trying to go for in epic of remnant, but done right. Which is to make a balanced servant. But instead of having severe drawbacks and detriments or gimmicks tied to their skills they give Ivan a just well rounded skills with average stats to compensate
This ends up making I've been a more enjoyable and usable servant
3 quartz let`s go, FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
