Okita Or Musashi?

Musashi + Merlin is better, Okita is better independently.

EDIT: BTW based on what I've seen online, Musashi has the worst fanboys lol

Also, to expand, personally imo Okita is a little better since she is more independent, but their strengths are in very different things. Okita functions as a self-contained crit engine, she can generate and absorb stars pretty well, and has a crit buff too. Criting a lot also means she also generates her NP pretty easily.

Musashi, on the other hand, has a pretty telling skillset. It's pretty clearly intended for harder content with lots of buffing and debuffing involved. If you are building a team to counter your typical challenge quest, Musashi is a pretty good choice. She can pierce invincibility, has a single-turn invincibility herself, and has her own buster buff and NP buff. Also as said earlier out of all 3 SSR ST sabers she synergises the best with hard content king Merlin.

In summary, Okita is good for general use and functions well independently - she does one thing and does it very well. Musashi on the other hand has multiple different abilities which, while extremely valuable for harder content where enemies have invincibility, or spam debuffs, isn't really going to be of much use for most of the game's content.

Okita is better in a vacuum, she's just a broken entity. Musashi is extremely flawed (triple buster deck, questionable NP gain, no star absorption, extremely difficult to setup and operate, etc) but is a good stick for Merlin to blaze with.

Merlin!Musashi is better than Okita...until Skadi happens, then Skadi!Okita makes Merlin!Musashi look bad.

I choose Okita, my Shinsengumi party won't be completed without Okita.

For my Yorozuya and Gintama complete members 👊

You can also try for saberlot. He is pretty self sufficient like Okita and easier to get as a non limited 4*

I have Okita, and she is an outstanding ST Saber. She is extraordinarily independent and her Q cards generate almost as many (if not just as many) crit stars as Jack's. Also, her NP is extraordinarily powerful, even at only lv1, and she has a really dang good NP gain. That being said, Merlin + Musashi is arguably the best 1-2 combo in the game (well, I've heard that it's starting to become obsolete or something along those lines in JP, but that's 2 years away). So if you can get both Merlin and Musashi, Musashi is better, but otherwise, I'd say Okita hands down.

Okita's issue is Skadi's coming is so late for her or many other Quick servants. During that period, multi-hp boss are quite frequently seen, but Quick card's performance is largely inferior-ed. 2030 Merlin also almost killed Quick team.
On the other hand, Musashi is de facto one representative Buster style team. With 4060 dual Merlin or Merlin+Waver, she can straightforwardly slash any non-lancer class enemy. However, only 1 Art card, short lasting but long waiting skills are always her apparent drawbacks of her double-edge traits. If you have Merlin, then whale for Musashi is never a regrettable thing.

This topic make me remember how I quit Fandom FGO when arguing with some biased attack/abuse to Okita.

"the best 1-2 combo in the game"- "Musashi is de facto one representative Buster style team."

Guys, you are saying that Musashi has better Merlin sinergy than Jalter, Gilgamesh, Raikou, Ozymandias and Amakusa. Stop, you are hyping her too hard.

Musashi is middle in the pack on her Merlin sinergy.

I’m going with Okita, because her Daishouri melts my heart and she was my first good 5 star! (Sorry Artoria) I will also be trying to get another copy of her when she is available again.

Maybe picture is more plausible, isn't it?

Have Merlin but I'm rolling for Okita. Have an Atalanta with quick buff at lv 10(50%) and Bond ce(15% quick buff) to pair with Okita. Hopefully it gives me similiar np damage or more than a Musashi + Merlin.

I never had Musashi but I do have Okita so I’ll just give my opinion on them based on stats and skillsets alone.

Attack Okita wins by a few points and Musashi wins on Hp by a few points both are overall fine when it comes to stats leaning more to offense is great considering they are damage dealers.

Np gain for musashi is actually great but okita wins more with a 1.09% np gain. On paper Musashi can Np more with her fifth force on arts but overall Okita can charge more worthwhile with her 5 hit quick card.

Star gen is clearly in favor of Okita she has two 5 hit quick cards while musashi only has 1 no comparison

For card deck musashi has a triple buster deck which means more damage and Okita has a 2 quicks and buster which means more consistency. Overall Okita wins with her cards more considering her quick can generate alot of stars and helps them team in alot of ways than musashi’s buster (Her buster card deals more damage though)

Skill set is not really needed It’s clear that Musashi has the better kit with an Invul pierce, buff removal, invul and a rare hit count increased by twice. Okita’s is really basic yet effective kind the onyl thing that musashi wants to have from okita is her 2nd skill. They really need to buff her 2nd skill.

Np wise Musashi already outdamages her but Okita can compete some more with her 1st skill new passive providing a 20% attack buff per card so if she uses two cards first before NP she can get a 40% attack buff that ignores defense combined with a shukuchi of 50% quick up increases her damage further to 90% I’d say this is balance pretty much.

Their roles are easy to identify. Okita is a sub dps that is capable of generating stars for other teams (her saber class means she can’t snag stars without her second skill)

Musashi is more of a damage dealer with her 3 buster cards Overall I’d say okita is the winner just because of her consistency and overall flexibility she just offers star gen to her team and provide heavy damage aswell with a BBNP chain while Musashi is a main dps that has a better skillset overall they are good
