Hey Masters, i have a Question: How do you choose which CE you want to level up? And do you calculate with the extra ATK a CE gives to the Servant or only the CE Effect?
My Situation is this, i have:
Holy Night Dinner lvl. 80/100, Formal Craft lvl. 43/100, Golden Sumo lvl. 15/100, Limited/Zero Over lvl.1/20, Origin Bullet lvl 15/100 & Joint Recital lvl 15/100.
I think Golden Sumo is from the NP starting CE's mostly the best Option because it buffs the whole ATK but i need to level it up. And i just could use HND instead of Golden Sumo (Just use HND gives at the Moment +1695ATK instead +711ATK from Golden Sumo). I thought it would make Sense to level up Joint Recital because Musashi, Gil & Lancer Alter can use this very well. For Arts Servants i would just use Formal Craft for NP spamming and 30% Arts on NP-DMG as well.
Important Servants: Gilgamesh, Musashi, Saberlot NP4, Heracles NP4, Altera, Waver, Merlin, Arturia Lancer Alter NP3, Arturia Archer NP2 & Gorgon, +all the 1-3* & Event Servants.
In coming Events we will get CE's like Dive to Blue & Aerial Drive, would it make Sense to wait for this CE's? Is the Difference in DMG-Output to others CE's like HND or Golden Sumo significant?
Thx for your Opinions.
Advice is usually to level cards with attack only boost rather than mixed attack and health. And I have a preference for np starting gauge for 3 turn farming, and ease of charging np for servants with a low gain rate on harder battles. Holy night supper and golden sumo are great candidates in those regards.
I level CEs based on how much use I expect to get out of them. So far my highest levelled are golden sumo because it's so versatile, and chaldea lunchtime because I use it all the time.
I tend to level CEs based on what I use the most. Right now I'm working on Chaldea Lunchtime since it is used on almost every team I make. I also have a lvl100 Guda 0 since it was the best attack CE I had for the first 6 months I was playing.
I level up both offensive CEs and survival CEs so i could use it almost everywhere and in almost every situations.
I choose the CEs based by the servants that need to be equipped with it.
Hard content and Challenges ? I'd like to use Chaldea Life Saver or Maid in Halloween on my main DPS to ensure my safety and victory.
Easier stuff and some Bosses that really2 need me to OTK them, using general team, 3 turn farming ? I'd like to use Golden Sumo and Holy Night Supper.
Remember, different buff, servant base atk stat, and servant skill will also affect your overall damage.
For example, why would i equipping Atk Up CEs like Golden Sumo to my 3 star Alexander if his performance can be increased further if i used Holy Night Supper ( Drunken Jalter ).
Alex already has Charisma skill, so he need those sweet NP Up and bonus Crit damage ( rider is a natural Crit star magnet ).
Golden Sumo is really valuable when you wanna make a general team, use it to servants with low atk stat and if you don't encounter specific enemies. Also if your servants don't have any Charisma like skill that can increase Atk.
For specific team, level the CEs that increase Art Up, Buster Up or Quick Up.
For general team, level Golden Sumo or Holy Night Sign.
It's not a dead set LOL, just use and level it based by your situations.
For me, the best would be Golden Sumo because i can use it almost everywhere.
I'm perplexed at the idea of leveling up Chaldea Lunchtime. Why would you put that on your DPS, and if it's not going to be on your DPS, why would its stats be such a high priority to level it first?
In general, you want to max offensive CE's for more damage output. Health bonus matters less. Kscope and black grail are the two very best offensive CE's. Then golden sumo, holy night dinner, and aerial drive. Victor of the moon, joint recital, and talk on the heated Sands are also good.
I don't know why some of the earlier posters levelled Chaldea Lunchtime, its only purpose is to provide extra bond and should be in your back row anyway. My levelled CEs tend to be some of the excellent welfare ones that are easy to MLB, like Joint Recital or Golden Sumo for the extra damage.
Actually it's very common practice for whales (or people swimming in loads and loads of FP's) to level CE's like Lunchtime and Mona Lisa to 100 simply so their unit+CE appear at the top of the lists when sorting by ATK descending, which in turn nets them more FP's, which turns into a positive feedback cycle.
I've finished leveling Black Grail, Kaleidoscope, and Sumo to 100 and once I finish Formalcraft, I'm planning to start leveling Lunchtime.
Thanks for your Opinions. For me the only Reason to level up my Lunchtime was too give my Waver a Poleposition on Supports. Many Players like me sort their Supportlist by ATK. So raise the ATK of my Waver will hopefully give me more Friendpoints^^. I really like the possibility in this Game to clear Quest the Way you want it and mostly you are not forced to use always the strongest Whale-Support... BTW: I believe Mona Lisa gives more Stats than Luchtime but to be honest, i don't care for the Stats on these CE's because i want the Bonus of their Effects. But if other Master care for the Stats too it is totally fine.
This Topic really get me, so i looked at the upcoming Events this Year on NA: 2x GudaGuda & Seraph will give CE-EXP-Cards. Totally EXP from this should be (25x30k)+(20x18k)= 1,11M EXP. (I hope i don't missed one)
Daily you get one FP-Multi for free, ordinary EXP from this around 4k-5k (sometimes you get even more but i assume this for the calc). So in 365 Days x4k=1,46M EXP you get for free. To be more efficient just collect the FP and then do all the Multis on new Events (because of the 3* Event-CE). Waiting for the next Success-up Event is also a good Idea (damned i'm few weeks to late :-( ).
Together it would raise a CE to nearly lvl 50 (found this on reddit)
Level 10 = 16500
Level 20 = 133000
Level 30 = 449500
Level 40 = 1066000
Level 50 = 2082500
Level 60 = 3599000
Level 70 = 5715500
Level 80 = 8532000
Level 90 = 12148500
Level 100 = 16665000
So my Plan is now collect FP and EXP for the upcoming Aerial Drive-CE (wait until Halloween :-( ) because i feel like this will be my favourite one after release and try to raise this as much as possible. Other CE's i like will be leveled up to +1000ATK (lvl. 34, needs around 2M EXP). But now i know because of my HND (which took around 8,5M to bring it to lvl 80) it doesn't really matter to get the CE's near to level 100. The higher the level, more EXP will be needed but the Stats-boost doesn't really repay for that. So i decided to level useful CE's to lvl.34 and my really favourites around lvl 50. So rely on the Effect's of the CE's and don't care too much for Stats is a good Choice too.
To use Chaldea Lifesavers on Challenge Quests is a good Idea. Maybe i will level it a bit too.
