That really should be a point of concession because a lot of people look to guides and reviews to plan F2P rolls. Which unless youre blessed by the gacha gods, is unlikely to give more than an NP 1 copy a lot of the time.
@@mispelledtempest gonna speak selfishly, when I saw her for the first time, I was awestruck by how beautiful she is.

Meanwhile I started saving for her banner in 2023, rolled the servants suitable for her farming/dpsing lineups.. Then I realized 'L'asengle devs has.. 1) Added her in one of the worst classes 2) Gave her a not so interesting skillset 3) Double vitch oberon 3t farming incompatibility (due to her 7 turn cd on her battery) 4)...literally made her mid despite she being a 7th anniversary servant, skills focused primarily for np looping. Despite all of this, I will spend all my free sq savings on her banner (+cope) to see her at her peak servant potential; because she's one of the main reasons I'm motivated to keep on being productive in this game.
A big problem is that if you have bad luck during this banner and end with only 1 copy of Arcueid you need to wait 2 fucking years for make her stronger, in almost 9 years of this game its never happened that a anniversary unit have not received a banner for so long. And for a unit that badly need multiple copies its pretty insane.
Mion Cancer is sadly just Casters without their gimped Multiplier If they are planning to rerun her, that S2 is a good pick for a Buff since if they shorten its cooldown and maybe added higher number or powermod, it could elevate her Single Core potency
NP damage buffs are almost always 20% or 30%, and she already has 20%. It wouldn't change much at all if they added an extra 10%. Would be cool if they added a 10k heal like Enkidu to Skill 2 tho cause it fits lore.
Yeah JP is full of servants that got buffs that definitely didn’t need them. Look at Erish with her skill upgrade. This was a time where there were way more Lancers that needed the buff more.
Mf, it’s the fgo community. We love extending simple content into 10+ minutes of yapping, then using the same title they made for the same servant 2 years ago.
Let's be real here. No one who has followed jp will be pulling for Arc because of gameplay. She looks very impressive on paper, but definitely not in practice. Most will only want her for hype and waste the large amount of free quartz they get this anniversary before forgetting about her, and those that seriously care about tsukihime will 120 her anyway (including myself here♡). I love her. She is my white moon princess, but unless you feel the same way, just pull on the summer banner. Any one of them will probably add more power and versatility to your account.

@@jonathangoodwin5609 Oh, I see I'm glad we could clear thing up on that front. Btw I also 'Ew' when looking at Not!Arcuied and that is based on her copypasted Jeanne face (Not even Saber at this point smh), stiff and lifeless poses (Mega carried by the dress and background), and that 'Ew' is based on my own subjective distaste towards her design and has nothing to do with meta (Even though she's an anniversary e-sports servant, because Waifu = Meta, not Waifu > Meta).
This hurts a bit because Arceuid is my favorite character. You were fair though, there was a lot of good and some negative including her banner being right before summer 7. I have NP2 level 120 , Vitch of light and a limit broken black grail and within that engine she is amazing. She was clearly built for that and it shows. She is however a servant like you need multiple copies and the other parts. She is a greedy girl and this kind of fits her personality. Though if you are willing to go all in on her, she becomes a great servant. You will get your money out of those grails and NP levels. My only bone to pick here is that I don't think Mooncancer is as terrible a class as you keep saying. It gives nothing, that is true but the only enemy that resists moon cancer resists almost everything else too. I take Arc to farm Rulers and it usually works out, they usually have lower hit points. Summer Ibuki might be a better farmer but Arcueid is still Arcueid and that counts for something too.
Only going for xuu fuu. Sibuki is my main target so hopefully she can spook along the way. Some of those other banners seem tempting and have xuu fuu but i don't want to waste quarts. SIbuki at np 2 to higher is my goal. If i get higher than 3 I'll go 120. Arc was overhyped to start. Sure 100 battery us amazing but let's be honest she's a trophy unit since this is a question. Similar to what aoko got. Aoko could have been so good but her kit is a mess when you break it down
I haven't played in ages and came back cuz it was the anni. Got 3 copies of her almost back to back and came to yt to figure out what she does.... Guess I shoulda done that first XD I still have 200 sq left but that doesn't always mean much
She actually can single core buster loop w/ double koyan & plugsuit oberon with the addition of summer chloe & maxed append 2 skill. Pretty significant damage buff considering summer chloe has an NP strength up which gets amped by oberon.
10-12 minutes is the optimum length for this type of video since the topic is about servants that are 2 years old. So, most players already know about the said servant's capabilities. Of course, some servants may require few minutes extra but Arc is a simple, mostly 1 dimensional servant. Same goes for every other looper. Basically, only supports deserves longer explanation and some weird servants like Draco or Bazzet and few others. Also, imo splitting up the servants is a good idea for 2 reasons. 1st, the video length will be shorter and 2nd, sometimes, the rerun banners have different servants in them. So, if you split them up, you can refer to the old video instead of making a new one when a new rerun pops up. Of course, it doesn't apply if you plan to make a breakdown every time a said servant gets rerun. I think, a 3rd benefit can be, splitting up the video means, more video uploads which should be better for the algorithm.
This was an excellent review.. Thanks plushie… i have np4 summer kama so i wasnt sure… im still not sure but your advice to keep saving for summer seems very wise
You do you but I'm still gonna drop some info based on experience : Last year, I rolled for Cu aster to get enough coins for his mana loading after I got at least 1 of each of Morgan, Baobansith and Barghest. I already had np2 of him ; I got him to np5 but never got the last copy I needed to get enough coins and wasted quite a bit of quartzs in the process. I got extra copies of Baobansith and Barghest as well as a second copy of Morgan but then I nearly didn't have enough for Summer Kama later on, had to pity her and nearly didn't have enough currency to do so. 3 stars can be annoying to get and Xu Fu is permanent, I doubt you need her immediately and who knows you might get her a week after her banner ends or you might get her np5 after her banner ends off of daily FP multis. It is also highly likely she'll drop during your next long rolling session. This is my advice especially if you're F2P : wait, you'll get her np35 eventually ; but ultimately the decision is yours so do as you want.
So I'm supposed to get 2 Arcueids and 1 Lady Avalon with my 960 SQ +60 tickets. Wish me luck. Btw, not planning to get summer skadi (later) and summer ibuki(never) so yeah.
TO be real its NP3 for Arc......sadly. She just doesn't do alot of dmg... GL tho. I am flip flopping myself. I want to NP5 Erice and at least NP2 Ibuki so I need everything and even if I somehow (not with my luck) have anything left it should go to Skadi....but Arc...
Question, will the arcueid and Lady avalon banner be happening at the same time? Then I could focus first on Avalon and then all my savings on arcueid.
Just like my favorite FGO youtuber on brazil said "you only summon arcueid when you don't have mélusine or you don't want any summer 7 servant" tbh, the second part is hard because we have an ST avenger that have an niche that makes her do a lot of damage (summer erice), an BERSERKER AOE THAT LOOPS AND DOES GENERALLY AN GOOD DAMAGE REGARDLESS OF NP LEVEL AND CAN LOOP ON BERSERKERS AND FOR SOME ODD REASON LOOP ON AN SINGLE ENEMY (summer ibuki) and summer skadi (no thing for her because she just improves quick a lot). And also one thing he said is that in one of his videos where he gone and gived some buff ideas to some servants, he putted NP gain increase on quick cards in normal skadi, ever since i heard about that buff idea, i do no longer think that summer skadi improved that much in the quick farming (but she did really improved but not much compared to an NP gain increase on quick cards to make quick being an relevant farming card)
@@jonathangoodwin5609 i agree with you, but there is always that someone that whatever reason does that you said that focus on the meta even though FGO is one of the gacha games where even an low star can clear some content instead of being focused on the higher stars
@@jonathangoodwin5609not even low tiers, the game gives you habetrot a top 4 servant in the game for free, you also get stuff like Iyo who can be used on 90++.

I still want to roll for her since my account is pretty much good on dps and supports at this point, so I'm comfortable to pull for waifu/husbando characters now and am planning on skipping this year's summer banners. That said, I still have a plan. 8th anniversary has one pool where AE and the three summer servants are on it so if I get AE here, I either get her another NP level or I get another strong servant next year. [Edit] spelling errors
Tbf if you want double oberon you need append skill 2 so you can do; koyan skills + 10 starting np plugsuit oberon 1st skill 2nd turn arcueid charge 3rd turn both oberon 2nd skill
On the one hand, I'm a meta slave. On the other hand, I've got a healthy buster and arts steamroller with Morgan, Space Ishtar, Koyankaya, Oberon, Castoria, Waver, and Merlin. So it's not like I neeeeed a good meta team. Arcueid calls.
I hit pity on Arc on JP, got 1 new sr (valk) and 0 other ssrs on the way and grailed her to 100 and 2k fou'd her and i honestly never use her even before i got my np2 tonelico. I wish they'd buff her so her damage isn't as potato like an np damage up on her s1 or an np buff but honestly you're just better off rolling for summer ibuki or skadi like a month after.
Im rolling for her BUT I do hope they give her a buff. I think she would benefit greatly from: her np effects being stackable and/or her battery cooldown getting reduced. It feels like they purposely held her back
I feel like she is way too limited. I don’t get why her third skill needs to be 7 turns or how her npc gain for allies doesn’t include herself. On top of that, she doesn’t have many offensive buffs. I can see her dealing well with early wave enemies in multicore, But higher wave enemies are probably gonna be to much to handle
Might pull for 1 copy and then wait however many years (or a GSSR pull) to get an upgrade. If S.Ibuki wasn't coming out literally the month after I would probably go all-in for NP5, but as a F2P (+GSSR) I can only save for 2-3 BIG targets a year (and while Arc is a favorite, Ibuki is a bigger favorite). Then again I am sitting on 1.7k SQ (1.3k SQ+150 T) so maybe I'm being a little too caution, hmmm...
I'm going for her this anniversary because I like the character, but it's true that Moon Cancer's class doesn't help her much, it would have been better if she were a berserker like the arcuied from fate extra or, failing that, the only Moon Cancer that has advantages against more than one class.
Almost definitely skipping tbh. I have a feeling anniversary SQ will barely push me over the 900 threshold, and I want to guarantee a Ruler Skadi result for the inevitable synergy with my Melt for TAs.
will pull for her on the gssr 2 and a half years from now with tiamat and kuku and aesc, as of now my 1100 quartz + 100 tickets will go to the summer units this year (ibuki and skadi personally)
Gonna be honest. Talk in the community about her isn't good because of how she needs NP2 or even 3 to consistently loop, also having Sskadi, Sibuki and Lady Avalon next to her isn't good for a F2P like me. Also I don't have a huge attachment to her as I do with other heroines like Rin, Artoria or Nero, mainly because my knowledge of her is limited to Carnival Phantasm, her semi-cameo appearance in Extra as a Berserker and the anime that doesn't exist. But man the flower field bathed in moonlight and castle on her NP is sooo damn beautiful!! It brings me nostalgic memories from a certain Weeping Lily Meadow from another game from my childhood. I may roll for her just for that.
I love my 120 NP5 max fou Arcueid over on JP. She's really good at what she does, but she's not a must roll unit. I'm still pulling for her even if she's not as good as the summer crew. I'm just not going to go as hard as I did on JP.
We need lasagna to buff arc and make her great again. Maybe something that goes hand in hand with the millennium castle field that maybeeee gives her offensive advantage like that of a berserker. Or maybe when on millennium castle field she switches her hp and atk stats cause why not she needs it.
Arcueid is in funny situation where she is already top tier according to experts (S+ on AppMedia tier list) being one of the best in her role, while at the same time perceived by community (at least Global one) as underpowered.
I would’ve rolled for her but Bakin took too much quartz from me . All I want now is Summer Skadi and as many copies of Sen No Rikyu as I can get . She’s a potential 120 target for me .
Personally, I might just roll for her for the character hype and I just want my first SSR Mooncancer (The only class where I'm don't have SSR yet). Tho my main target this year is Summer Skadi banner... Man, this looks bad for me and my SQ... Hope I can pull another miracle strike again like last year where I managed to take home Morgan (NP3), Melusine, Koyan Light, and Oberon without saving... I BELIEVE I WILL! I WILL SACRIFICE THE REST IF MY 2024 LUCK FOR THIS! UOOOGH!!!!
I have lvl 120/gold fou'd/np5/3 max append skills/ Arcueid and she's a good go-to farmer for me. i even got her to Bond 15 as well (and stopped using her cuz she's fully maxed out) Her biggest flaw is her np1(she hits like a wet noodle), it doesnt do particularly much unless you reach np4-5 for her powerspike. She can do 3 turns without Oberon thnx to her max charged NP, Cooldown MC & double Koyan. In the end, she's a good lad for a very quick 3T farming and i wish there was another way for her to mix well with oberon and double koyanskaya system... They really gave a massive wall in-between there. Edit: if i were to give a rating, She's A(NP1/lvl 90) to S-(NP5/lvl120) by my standards.
Tbh I only pulled for her in jp because of hype and of who she is, but she’s been collecting dust in my account ever since. I rarely find any use for her. At np1 she’s just not worth your time if you got a good account already
This is related to the pro/con's but how viable is multicore for 90++? Without looking at numbers, I am guessing Arc/Tez/Oberon comp even with an additional support plugged in would struggle to clear 90++, is Arc multicore mainly good for 6CE 90+ comps? Still appreciate you doing a banner breakdown. For sentimental reasons I have to pull for Arc but it looks like even going for NP5 wouldn't make her particularly great for single core so maybe I'll settle for one copy and use her as wave 1/multicore support.
Multicore is very viable in 90++ when you need both st and aoe dps like the current 90++ lilim Harlot for example but multicore has other usage besides 90++ it's just another way to clear quest without always forcing yourself to use Double Castoria,Koyan,Skadi Also Arc can indeed be used for 90++ but you probably needs a high np one she was probably actually the most used servant in the lotto Illya castle
Multi core is very much the best way to clear 90++ for several reasons. Bond saving, if your dps isn't strong enough, running full bonus in events and stuff. It's usually more effective provided you have the units that help. Tez, Oberon and Arc are used in them yes, along with other units. You don't even need a unit with a lot of buffs most time, it could be charge, team damage buff or both that makes a run work for you
7th anni then summer kind of screws me since i need summer ibuki. everything i've read suggests you need to pull hard for acrueid, at least np3 to make her viable; and i just dont have the quartz for that and summer ibuki. and of course kuku comes out in what, January? she seems to solidly fill the same role acrueid would fill and is 6 months separated from summer ibuki.
On the one hand, Moon Cancer as a class makes me sad. On the other hand: No reruns, she's a good teammate for Summer Ibuki, and I'd really like to give my MLB Black Grail to someone other than Melu. Decisions, decisions.
There is nothing wrong with Moon Cancer if you don’t look at largely neutral classes from the “It could have been Avenger or Ruler instead” lenses. A properly invested one can still deal with multi cores 90++ and CQs.
@@drachronosdrakosaur9143 technically, it summer ibuki who is the good teammate to arc. She has a targetable bsuter/ arts buff, charisma, and skill cooldown. However, summer ibuki is a stronger so it's weird to use her that way
Be aware of her biggest flaw: she has a secret passive that makes it that unless she is 120 np5 2k/2k fous all maxed cards and bond15 and equipped with an mlb lvl100 black grail she will deal -1 damage to every enemy in the game

@@jonathangoodwin5609"This is game where 'meta' barely matters, so just roll for who you like". Wasn't it you the one who said that in a previous comment?
Yes, and that isn't a contradiction, because my 'ew' is based on his creepy gross fingers, and was based on my own subjective distaste towards his design and has nothing to do with meta.
I want him too 🥺
I don't think I'll roll for Arc tbh.
@@jonathangoodwin5609 Oh, I see I'm glad we could clear thing up on that front.
Btw I also 'Ew' when looking at Not!Arcuied and that is based on her copypasted Jeanne face (Not even Saber at this point smh), stiff and lifeless poses (Mega carried by the dress and background), and that 'Ew' is based on my own subjective distaste towards her design and has nothing to do with meta (Even though she's an anniversary e-sports servant, because Waifu = Meta, not Waifu > Meta).
This hurts a bit because Arceuid is my favorite character. You were fair though, there was a lot of good and some negative including her banner being right before summer 7. I have NP2 level 120 , Vitch of light and a limit broken black grail and within that engine she is amazing. She was clearly built for that and it shows. She is however a servant like you need multiple copies and the other parts. She is a greedy girl and this kind of fits her personality. Though if you are willing to go all in on her, she becomes a great servant. You will get your money out of those grails and NP levels. My only bone to pick here is that I don't think Mooncancer is as terrible a class as you keep saying. It gives nothing, that is true but the only enemy that resists moon cancer resists almost everything else too. I take Arc to farm Rulers and it usually works out, they usually have lower hit points. Summer Ibuki might be a better farmer but Arcueid is still Arcueid and that counts for something too.
as someone who has NP3 Melusine and lvl100 BG...she is like an anime figure to me that i will just keep in the shelf if get a copy.
that summer 7 is everything is a must roll. Even the 4 stars are good.
Well, except Gareth.
Can't wait for the FGO Banner Breakdown: GSSR FGO NA 7th Anniversary
Oberon is waiting for me in december.
Only going for xuu fuu. Sibuki is my main target so hopefully she can spook along the way. Some of those other banners seem tempting and have xuu fuu but i don't want to waste quarts. SIbuki at np 2 to higher is my goal. If i get higher than 3 I'll go 120.
Arc was overhyped to start. Sure 100 battery us amazing but let's be honest she's a trophy unit since this is a question.
Similar to what aoko got. Aoko could have been so good but her kit is a mess when you break it down
it's honestly nice that I didn't use up all my funds and got her to np 3 lol
I haven't played in ages and came back cuz it was the anni. Got 3 copies of her almost back to back and came to yt to figure out what she does.... Guess I shoulda done that first XD I still have 200 sq left but that doesn't always mean much
She actually can single core buster loop w/ double koyan & plugsuit oberon with the addition of summer chloe & maxed append 2 skill. Pretty significant damage buff considering summer chloe has an NP strength up which gets amped by oberon.
10-12 minutes is the optimum length for this type of video since the topic is about servants that are 2 years old. So, most players already know about the said servant's capabilities. Of course, some servants may require few minutes extra but Arc is a simple, mostly 1 dimensional servant. Same goes for every other looper. Basically, only supports deserves longer explanation and some weird servants like Draco or Bazzet and few others.
Also, imo splitting up the servants is a good idea for 2 reasons. 1st, the video length will be shorter and 2nd, sometimes, the rerun banners have different servants in them. So, if you split them up, you can refer to the old video instead of making a new one when a new rerun pops up. Of course, it doesn't apply if you plan to make a breakdown every time a said servant gets rerun. I think, a 3rd benefit can be, splitting up the video means, more video uploads which should be better for the algorithm.
This was an excellent review.. Thanks plushie… i have np4 summer kama so i wasnt sure… im still not sure but your advice to keep saving for summer seems very wise
Got some copy on 50 pulls. A few minutes later only to find out np lvl 2 is a must
2:00 i think we've seen this anti-trait scaling before... in Euryale against Male?
I'm a collector by nature so i'll be rolling for her. Would roll for he regardless of that though since I like her character.
As someone who's never gotten my own Castoria, I'm def gonna roll for at least NP1 Xu Fu
You do you but I'm still gonna drop some info based on experience :
Last year, I rolled for Cu aster to get enough coins for his mana loading after I got at least 1 of each of Morgan, Baobansith and Barghest. I already had np2 of him ; I got him to np5 but never got the last copy I needed to get enough coins and wasted quite a bit of quartzs in the process. I got extra copies of Baobansith and Barghest as well as a second copy of Morgan but then I nearly didn't have enough for Summer Kama later on, had to pity her and nearly didn't have enough currency to do so.
3 stars can be annoying to get and Xu Fu is permanent, I doubt you need her immediately and who knows you might get her a week after her banner ends or you might get her np5 after her banner ends off of daily FP multis. It is also highly likely she'll drop during your next long rolling session.
This is my advice especially if you're F2P : wait, you'll get her np35 eventually ; but ultimately the decision is yours so do as you want.
As someone who spend 50+ tickets before he got a copy of Izo, I wish you best of luck!
She's perma
As someone who is gonna grail their Xu Fu, I'm not waiting to pull her either.
Xu fu will enter the fp banner and all others after, don't risk your SQ for that
surely he does the animation comparison video this time riiiiiiiight?
Lets be real, the majority of people desperately pulling for Arcuied are those who still the gut wrenching feeling of Tsukihime's Arc route...
So I'm supposed to get 2 Arcueids and 1 Lady Avalon with my 960 SQ +60 tickets. Wish me luck. Btw, not planning to get summer skadi (later) and summer ibuki(never) so yeah.
TO be real its NP3 for Arc......sadly. She just doesn't do alot of dmg... GL tho.
I am flip flopping myself. I want to NP5 Erice and at least NP2 Ibuki so I need everything and even if I somehow (not with my luck) have anything left it should go to Skadi....but Arc...
Anni gives us quartz bomb based on it current rosters ascensions
Question, will the arcueid and Lady avalon banner be happening at the same time? Then I could focus first on Avalon and then all my savings on arcueid.
@@Yassinegaming200 No Arc ends probably a week before Avalon.
Just like my favorite FGO youtuber on brazil said "you only summon arcueid when you don't have mélusine or you don't want any summer 7 servant" tbh, the second part is hard because we have an ST avenger that have an niche that makes her do a lot of damage (summer erice), an BERSERKER AOE THAT LOOPS AND DOES GENERALLY AN GOOD DAMAGE REGARDLESS OF NP LEVEL AND CAN LOOP ON BERSERKERS AND FOR SOME ODD REASON LOOP ON AN SINGLE ENEMY (summer ibuki) and summer skadi (no thing for her because she just improves quick a lot).
And also one thing he said is that in one of his videos where he gone and gived some buff ideas to some servants, he putted NP gain increase on quick cards in normal skadi, ever since i heard about that buff idea, i do no longer think that summer skadi improved that much in the quick farming (but she did really improved but not much compared to an NP gain increase on quick cards to make quick being an relevant farming card)
Or you just like her. Imo, it's incredibly stupid to focus on meta in a game where even lower tier servants can clear content.
@@jonathangoodwin5609 i agree with you, but there is always that someone that whatever reason does that you said that focus on the meta even though FGO is one of the gacha games where even an low star can clear some content instead of being focused on the higher stars
@@jonathangoodwin5609not even low tiers, the game gives you habetrot a top 4 servant in the game for free, you also get stuff like Iyo who can be used on 90++.
Or you want faster, easier farming.
@@jonathangoodwin5609 I feel the waifu part should go without saying. If I like and want someone, I won't even bother asking online.
Videos like this are for people that are interested in the numbers part or just haven't made up their mind and want to see some takes on how the unit performs .
I still want to roll for her since my account is pretty much good on dps and supports at this point, so I'm comfortable to pull for waifu/husbando characters now and am planning on skipping this year's summer banners.
That said, I still have a plan. 8th anniversary has one pool where AE and the three summer servants are on it so if I get AE here, I either get her another NP level or I get another strong servant next year.
[Edit] spelling errors
Tbf if you want double oberon you need append skill 2
so you can do;
koyan skills + 10 starting np
plugsuit
oberon 1st skill
2nd turn
arcueid charge
3rd turn
both oberon 2nd skill
On the one hand, I'm a meta slave. On the other hand, I've got a healthy buster and arts steamroller with Morgan, Space Ishtar, Koyankaya, Oberon, Castoria, Waver, and Merlin. So it's not like I neeeeed a good meta team. Arcueid calls.
Can you make a playlist for this series please.Also you haven't added some newer hot take videos to the playlist of that seires.😊
I...got her on Hard Pity... and only once. I finally got one, but at what price?
I will never forgive the Arcueid...banner!
Imma stayin strong for Summer 7
I hit pity on Arc on JP, got 1 new sr (valk) and 0 other ssrs on the way and grailed her to 100 and 2k fou'd her and i honestly never use her even before i got my np2 tonelico. I wish they'd buff her so her damage isn't as potato like an np damage up on her s1 or an np buff but honestly you're just better off rolling for summer ibuki or skadi like a month after.
Plushie: "Not really worth to roll the 5☆ CE. Ocean Flier better."
Me: Understandable. On the other hand, GudaKadoc H O T.
Im rolling for her BUT I do hope they give her a buff. I think she would benefit greatly from: her np effects being stackable and/or her battery cooldown getting reduced. It feels like they purposely held her back
Np5’d Xu Fu I’m done summoning W
I feel like she is way too limited. I don’t get why her third skill needs to be 7 turns or how her npc gain for allies doesn’t include herself. On top of that, she doesn’t have many offensive buffs. I can see her dealing well with early wave enemies in multicore, But higher wave enemies are probably gonna be to much to handle
pray that JP gives her buffs when she returns, something that buffs her damage or regenerates her NP faster
They didn’t want her to abusing vitch ig with that 100 charge shrug
@@sathariel3231Can't really abuse something that isn't giving you much of a payoff lol.
@@reishiki8682 it is what it is
Might pull for 1 copy and then wait however many years (or a GSSR pull) to get an upgrade.
If S.Ibuki wasn't coming out literally the month after I would probably go all-in for NP5, but as a F2P (+GSSR) I can only save for 2-3 BIG targets a year (and while Arc is a favorite, Ibuki is a bigger favorite).
Then again I am sitting on 1.7k SQ (1.3k SQ+150 T) so maybe I'm being a little too caution, hmmm...
I'm going for her this anniversary because I like the character, but it's true that Moon Cancer's class doesn't help her much, it would have been better if she were a berserker like the arcuied from fate extra or, failing that, the only Moon Cancer that has advantages against more than one class.
I pulled because i love her, just that
My moon primcess ❤❤
Might just get either a single Arc or NP2 and rely on luck from lucky bags when they come around.
Almost definitely skipping tbh. I have a feeling anniversary SQ will barely push me over the 900 threshold, and I want to guarantee a Ruler Skadi result for the inevitable synergy with my Melt for TAs.
hey, thxx for these infos, ur great but ur background is a big spoiler bcs consider it next time
will pull for her on the gssr 2 and a half years from now with tiamat and kuku and aesc, as of now my 1100 quartz + 100 tickets will go to the summer units this year (ibuki and skadi personally)
Hopefully I can get her np5. She’s Phantasmoon ❤
Arcueid's biggest flaw:

She's freakin' Arcueid, there's no flaw!!!!!!!!!
Gonna be honest.
Talk in the community about her isn't good because of how she needs NP2 or even 3 to consistently loop, also having Sskadi, Sibuki and Lady Avalon next to her isn't good for a F2P like me.
Also I don't have a huge attachment to her as I do with other heroines like Rin, Artoria or Nero, mainly because my knowledge of her is limited to Carnival Phantasm, her semi-cameo appearance in Extra as a Berserker and the anime that doesn't exist.
But man the flower field bathed in moonlight and castle on her NP is sooo damn beautiful!! It brings me nostalgic memories from a certain Weeping Lily Meadow from another game from my childhood.
I may roll for her just for that.
Still staying strong for my dragon queen in December
Well done 👏
Nice video, plushie 👀👍. My sq are ready 😎
I love my 120 NP5 max fou Arcueid over on JP. She's really good at what she does, but she's not a must roll unit. I'm still pulling for her even if she's not as good as the summer crew. I'm just not going to go as hard as I did on JP.
We need lasagna to buff arc and make her great again. Maybe something that goes hand in hand with the millennium castle field that maybeeee gives her offensive advantage like that of a berserker. Or maybe when on millennium castle field she switches her hp and atk stats cause why not she needs it.
Arcueid is in funny situation where she is already top tier according to experts (S+ on AppMedia tier list) being one of the best in her role, while at the same time perceived by community (at least Global one) as underpowered.
@@Dorrovianshe's not bad, it's just that there are better ones to pull in general
Make the 30% aoe charge for her as well and/or add a dmg buff for the team to her.
😂
@@luisfillipebeserra2108 Yea, for most people S. Ibuki will be better pull. She is for people who want what she specialise in or waifu.
@@Dorrovian I only want her because of the NP honestly and because she has cool voice lines in ascension 1 and 3
I have +2000 sq and was only planning on using her on low levels and berserker nodes, so I think I'll be fine.
I would’ve rolled for her but Bakin took too much quartz from me .
All I want now is Summer Skadi and as many copies of Sen No Rikyu as I can get .
She’s a potential 120 target for me .
Personally, I might just roll for her for the character hype and I just want my first SSR Mooncancer (The only class where I'm don't have SSR yet). Tho my main target this year is Summer Skadi banner... Man, this looks bad for me and my SQ... Hope I can pull another miracle strike again like last year where I managed to take home Morgan (NP3), Melusine, Koyan Light, and Oberon without saving...
I BELIEVE I WILL! I WILL SACRIFICE THE REST IF MY 2024 LUCK FOR THIS! UOOOGH!!!!
I have lvl 120/gold fou'd/np5/3 max append skills/ Arcueid and she's a good go-to farmer for me. i even got her to Bond 15 as well (and stopped using her cuz she's fully maxed out)
Her biggest flaw is her np1(she hits like a wet noodle), it doesnt do particularly much unless you reach np4-5 for her powerspike. She can do 3 turns without Oberon thnx to her max charged NP, Cooldown MC & double Koyan.
In the end, she's a good lad for a very quick 3T farming and i wish there was another way for her to mix well with oberon and double koyanskaya system... They really gave a massive wall in-between there.
Edit: if i were to give a rating, She's A(NP1/lvl 90) to S-(NP5/lvl120) by my standards.
got 1080 sq saved up lets see how many copies I can get
I found this video too late...
Only 110 quartz left for sweet summer servants. 😢
Xufu my beloved
This banner is really a 1/5 more or less since she's power crept easily and needs multiple copies just to function.
To the supports it should be added that both Merlins are Good too.
Her multicore value hurts because Aesc does well which also makes her flexible.
Onore Arcuiedo!!!
10/10 servant everyone needs a NP6, if you dont your account is briked
Tbh I only pulled for her in jp because of hype and of who she is, but she’s been collecting dust in my account ever since. I rarely find any use for her.
At np1 she’s just not worth your time if you got a good account already
I am readying up for my 3 summer waifus with 1400 SQ and 55 Tickets. Sorry Arc, Maybe in 2 years...
This is related to the pro/con's but how viable is multicore for 90++? Without looking at numbers, I am guessing Arc/Tez/Oberon comp even with an additional support plugged in would struggle to clear 90++, is Arc multicore mainly good for 6CE 90+ comps?
Still appreciate you doing a banner breakdown. For sentimental reasons I have to pull for Arc but it looks like even going for NP5 wouldn't make her particularly great for single core so maybe I'll settle for one copy and use her as wave 1/multicore support.
Multicore is very viable in 90++ when you need both st and aoe dps like the current 90++ lilim Harlot for example but multicore has other usage besides 90++ it's just another way to clear quest without always forcing yourself to use Double Castoria,Koyan,Skadi
Also Arc can indeed be used for 90++ but you probably needs a high np one she was probably actually the most used servant in the lotto Illya castle
multicore is often the only way to 6 CE 90++. But you can't generalize a comp, you have to change it for the specific node.
The problem is that she lacks team dmg buffs
Multi core is very much the best way to clear 90++ for several reasons. Bond saving, if your dps isn't strong enough, running full bonus in events and stuff. It's usually more effective provided you have the units that help. Tez, Oberon and Arc are used in them yes, along with other units. You don't even need a unit with a lot of buffs most time, it could be charge, team damage buff or both that makes a run work for you
Wouldn't the easiest solution be to just use her 100% battery turn 1 and nothing else and just pass the turn? I do that with Summer BB.
After failing getting summer BB I was considering but yeah I'll skip. Need everything I can get for summer skadi (and hopefully summer merlin)
7th anni then summer kind of screws me since i need summer ibuki. everything i've read suggests you need to pull hard for acrueid, at least np3 to make her viable; and i just dont have the quartz for that and summer ibuki. and of course kuku comes out in what, January? she seems to solidly fill the same role acrueid would fill and is 6 months separated from summer ibuki.
I'd probably just do a 2 multi pulls on anniversary since i dont have the buster supports lol. What i want is summer ibuki
She is cute and pretty, so yes.
On the one hand, Moon Cancer as a class makes me sad.
On the other hand: No reruns, she's a good teammate for Summer Ibuki, and I'd really like to give my MLB Black Grail to someone other than Melu. Decisions, decisions.
There is nothing wrong with Moon Cancer if you don’t look at largely neutral classes from the “It could have been Avenger or Ruler instead” lenses. A properly invested one can still deal with multi cores 90++ and CQs.
Can I ask y a good teammate for summer ibuki?
@@drachronosdrakosaur9143 technically, it summer ibuki who is the good teammate to arc. She has a targetable bsuter/ arts buff, charisma, and skill cooldown. However, summer ibuki is a stronger so it's weird to use her that way
@@lozer7011 ah ok, thank you
I was thinking of using her with double van gogh even if she doesn't have the foreigner passive
Would you consider Koyan Dark a better multi core farmer than Arc, for 90++ at least?
It doesn't matter if she's still strong.....
Every Anniversary Servant is a must pull..No cap.
That guy died in traum still must pull?
Eh I would disagree
I will be pitting in some pulls but my number 1 sevant this year is skadi summer
Does Arcueid's rainbow buff passive work with Yui Shousetsu?
Nope because the rainbow buff in in her passive
Iirc, Yui doesn't work with unremovable buffs so for that reason, she doesn't work if you have a CE with rainbow buffs.
Yeah I'll just cut my losses and just try to roll for a few xu fu copies and that's about it
Well an interlude may fix everything
