Which would be a more fitting CE for OG Artoria?

MLB Halloween Princess (Thank luck I got that last copy), or MLB Kaleid Ruby?
With OG (As in original Stay Night variant. Can never be too clear when asking a question!) Artoria being my favorite Saber(Arthur Pendragon coming in at a close second. Hope I can pull him when he arrives), and my only 5 star saber, I want to be sure to give her a good CE to kick the crap out of things with. Of the above two, Kaleid Ruby seemed most fitting, but this site suggest Halloween Princess, so I'm a little torn and looking for suggestions. If you've got a different CE you'd suggest, let me know.

Depends on what you need. Ruby gives slightly higher damage at lower cost, while halloween princess gives you a 50% NP charge. For fast farming, halloween princess is better, and since that's what most people use her for, it's the one that gets recommended. However, for longer, more drawn-out fights, especially when you want to use good CEs for other servants, ruby will be better both for it's better damage potential and its lower party cost.

As for better CEs, depends. If you have a decent crit setup for her, joint recital might be better, and holy night dinner, which we will get for this year's Christmas event will be best. If you don't have a reliable way to spam her NP, limited zero over is best. There are probably others too, but others could help with that.

Well, just in general, I want her to hit harder, not necessarily with her NP, but overall damage. I'm a huge fan of the Arthurian legends, so she's just one of my favorite servants, with Lancelot and the rest of the round table knights in close behind, I'm just looking for a CE to help her perform as best as she can. I don't think I have a good crit setup to go with her, I'd have to experiment abit. As for Limited Zero Over, I do have that, so I'll give it a go. Though I feel like Kaleid is going to be better, just for that NP boost if I can manage to charge it, though I could be wrong.

Yeah it's hard to make a comparison between those two since you never really know how many times you'll be using her NP in any given quest. Unless it's a really grindy boss fight, I don't think it really matters too much which you go with. Of course, with longer fights, you'd inevitably end up relying on NP more, so ruby would end up being better.

I'd say as a general guideline, if you have a very consistent way to keep her NP charged (as in, at least a Waver in the team somewhere), go ruby, if not, go LZO.

And yeah, Arthurian legends are great. I have saber lancelot and Artoria's summer version, but I do really want the OG too. Just hoping she spooks me at some point :')

I've got some Waver's on support, and even got a Tamamo on a throwaway summon at the start of the event, so I think charging her Np won't actually be a problem. I'll stick with Kalied, thanks! And actually, funny story about how I even got Saber Artoria. If I'm not mixing my memories up, I believe I got her while trying to pull for Lancer Artoria, during her rate up. I was quite happy with that pull, i'd been trying to get her for a while, so to have OG Artoria spook me while I was trying to pull AN Artoria, definitely some kind of dumb luck!

Very soon i heard other farmable Halloween CE which give's 15% Buster performance and 20 % NP Strength will come. Sigh grinding is truly endless =_=
I have Arthuria too, don't have any Kaleidoscope so i'm using Golden Sumo and Joint Recital for her, gonna replace it later with Heroine Eli CE.
I want that CE to Complete Buster bruteforce way.

I have a Kaleidoscope, but I usually keep it equipped to my other favorite, Berserker Lancelot. For him, I like to make sure he has easy access to his NP so I can deal some heavy damage next turn. Provided RNG gives me his cards, that is. Got him to deal something around 260 damage total in one chain just the other night, with a little help from a support Waver's crit boost. It was awesome.

Lol that damage, yeah it was truly awesome XD. Gonna try this with my Tamacat, I guess there's also a lot of crit star produced by Berserklot. Thx, i think Tamacat will get overworked alongside friends waver in the next grind event. Using NP gauge starter like Sumo maybe Nice.

I made note of it when it happened, it was actually 240K. The boss I was fighting had 300K health, and it went down with the two crits(The NP had damaged it some already, obviously). It was from a buster chain, but the best thing was, the first attack was Mash, not Lancelot. If I can get something around 240K damage total from only two of Lancelot's Buster cards, just imagine how strong his Buster Brave chain would have been. That kind of crit, I imagine would have the potential to kill most of the bosses in the game under under 500K.
