Anniversary Blonde

I know that in the future Rare Prism Shop will become available, so I've decided to get the Anniversary Blonde mystic code, which I didn't obtain 'cause I've been playing FGO for only three months. I have got a bunch of 4 star servants I didn't want, but spooked me.

SR I have: Stheno, Chevalier, Nitocris, Elizabeth lancer, Marie caster, Medea Lily, Berserlot, Herc.
SSR I have: Raikou, Shishou, Sanzang, Illya.

I don't want to burn Herc (ofc), and I don't know whether to burn Illya (that would give me 5 rare prisms, exactly what I need) or not, since I already have Sanzang, which is better imo. Apart from Herc, all the other SRs I have are at LV1 except Chevalier which is at LV40. Stheno, and maybe Caster Marie and Elizabeth, are burn-targets, but for the other two I don't know which to burn.

Asking who to burn, right? Honestly for efficiency sake I'd just burn Illya since you have sanzang even if she's a nuke, but I also wouldn't since she's a five star that you got for that 1% that your luck hit.
I wouldn't burn Chevalier since she (for me, that is) would help you quite a lot with tanking for her and other glass cannon DPS but if you can do, do it burn her since she needs at least NP3 to function really well, so for the other two that's one and just like what you said caster Marie, lancer Eli, and Stheno, burn them if you want.
For the other two it's merely in your choice.
Nitocris is a great farmer, but she's just that honestly and would fall down on gold enemies according to what I heard (pls correct me if I'm wrong)
Medea Lily whom I personally really want is great at healing and would make any berserkers live longer, but that aside she's just that.
Berserklot isn't worth it to burn. He's a crit berserker after all.
But if you're asking my opinion. I'd burn Nitocris (even though I don't want to), Stheno, Marie caster, Chevalier, and Eli lancer, but honestly just burn illya if you have any efficiency and don't really care of burning a five star since it's better to lose one Gold servant than five. or just wait to NP them and burn extra copies lol.

furthering the point for chevalier, mash is also an arts based tank and while she doesnt have a 3 turn taunt she does have a large uptime team defense boost and targetable invuln

The best thing is that Eli and Marie are NP2 because I didn't know Anniversary Blonde would become available again, so I didn't care for Rare Prisms. How stupid...
Talking about Berserlot, I already have Raikou, that makes every thing Berserlot does, but way better, and is also a boss-killer. I don't find any reason to keep him in Chaldea.

5 rare prisms for a mystic code?!? I wouldn't make that exchange lightly. Personally, I don't bother using anniversary blonde, only a few times when it was new. The combat uniform is the only code I use any more. Is that quest still available for newer players? I recall it didn't have a time limit when introduced (thankfully, I was too new to complete it when released).

No, it's not available anymore, only Chaldea Combat, Mage's Association and Atlas Academy uniforms are always available. Chaldea Combat is incredible, but I wanted to make a buster-crit team with Memelin (when I'll get him, hopefully), and I thought Anniversary Blonde would be the best choice for that team.

Burning Ilya is sacrilege. I'll have Ibaraki "handle" you for that.

Just get it later. Rare Prism shop will always be available. You will continue to accumulate useless to you 4-stars as you play.

Yeah, seems a logic solution. Guess I'll wait 'till Trapstolfo comes to me.

On one hand if you have Xuanzang she fills he same niche almost as illya albeit using a different playstyle. On the other hand illya is a limited servant. I got her and even though I'll likely never use her, it's hard to just delete something limited. Same thing with Marie caster. I'd burn the non limited ones though if you really wanted to as they may spook you in future rolls anyway

You got another limited 5 star!! Jeez what even is your luck so np2 tamamo lancer, np1 tamamo, np1 archertoria, and now illya in only 1 month! It would make sense if you spend some money on the game, but last time I checked you said in some of your posts that your are f2p except for guarantee gachas.

Why do you want Anniversary Blonde? Though nice to have its value is definitively less than the flexibility offered by having another servant, I mean if you want it because you like it thats fine but if you're going for it for gameplay reasons having the extra servants will just be better.

I've seen many experts on YouTube that use it, I have some servants that will be OP using it (Herc, Raikou just to name the best). Plus, when I'll get Memelin (hopefully), Anniversary Blonde will make buster teams incredibly powerful.

Just a friendly reminder:

Only burn if you have a dupe for now...

Because:
- The servant might get an Interlude and/or a Strengthening Quest (which can give you Quartz after you finish, it depends tho)
- Bond Levels gives Free Quartz (4* gives 2 Quartz from Bond 6 to 9, making 8 Free Quartz total, and 5* gives 3 Quartz from Bond 6 to 9, making 12 Free Quartz total)

So... Yeah, only burn if you have a dupe since you can get free quartz off them. That's why I didn't burn my Stheno yet.

Well, that's a good point, but... why would I waste EXP cards to level up Stheno just to get a SQ, and why would I put her in my teams when I have to farm Bond Points with much more valuable servants? She would give me only 10-11 SQs in total, it's not all that much. Maybe when I'll get all the strong servants to Bond 10, I'll consider putting her in my team, but that will take a very long time.

You don't need to put her at Bond 10, only at Bond 9.

Also, at the JP server right now, they had sent 80 Free Quartz if you cleared all Strenghtening Quests avaliable(probably this will come to US server in 2 years, dunno xD)

Just level her up when you don't have anyone else to level, put her at the party when you know that you can clear with only the front line (so she can get Bond points).

Also, not every servant has a good Bond CE tho (the only one I can remember right now is Herc), since you need to equip the bond CE on that exact character...
