So I've been having some issues fighting assassins lately due to all my maxed casters (Shakespeare, Medea and Irisviel) not being able to do a lot of damage. Are there any good offensive casters out there that are easy to get (through FP summon for example) that can deal decent enough damage? And if the FP summon lacks a good offensive caster,are there any upcoming 4*/5* I should go for?
I guess Babbage for FP summon? Low attack but has the highest HP of all 3-star Caster. The only offensive Caster I know is Xuanzang from Journey to The West event. And Nitocris is also good which can be summoned from Camelot chapter.
Yeah, go for Babbage, don't mind for his low attack, that's just the dev balancing things. His self buffs are strong and they turn ridiculously OP later after strengthening. He is also the main grail target for 3* Caster in the JP server, that's something.
Nursery Rhyme and Helena are pretty good 4* offensive AOE casters. For single target, Xuanzang is a 5* that should be coming soon.
Berserker can also do the trick but they need protection. Lu bu (ST NP) or Kiyohime (AoE NP) are very good at dealing damage and available in the FP summon.
Not his question at all...
On Topic: Your medea. Helena and Nursery are good bets as well until Sanzou. The thing with casters is they have a .9 damage modifier, so even when you generate big attack numbers, it still tends to underwhelm. However you should have realized by now on a proper team, they get very spammy. Your Medea may not seem that impressive, but her NP should be able to fire back-to-back and every other turn. Casko (aka Tamamo-no-Mae) as a support can give you a 50% arts boost on a maxed 3rd skills. That is absurdly powerful, especially combined with Art Boosting CEs, this doesn't just up the damage, but your overall NP gain. (tip Medea's bond CE is very nice for this on an Arts team, if you stack 3 people with similar Bond CEs, you are looking at a 45% increase to your base Arts performance) You can quite honestly go ham with Medea. You can also go ham with Nursery if you have some 2030's laying around or pair her with her ideal partner in crime, Jack. Crit Casters will become more viable post summer though, but you can do extremely well with pumpkin liz and nursery with a nice star generator (I.e. Hans, Pumpkin Liz) if you are tossing Medea out alone or nursery, you are going to give yourself a hard time, but the thing is casters have that .9 modifier because they synergize so absurdly well, if you are trying to find a stand alone caster, you need to wait for Sanzou or possibly get yourself a Tamamo. (people will complain Tamamo isn't a damage dealer, they are somewhat right, but you are asking to kill assassins, Tamamo with her own buffs can stomp all over them)
People really need to stop making a big deal about caster's damage multiplier. It isn't THAT much of a problem at all. Especially since you are obviously counter classing when using offensive casters and you will buff the hell out of them whenever you can, that's the point of the supports. You will only find problems about casters' damage multiplier when you decide to be a smartass and use offensive casters as your main DPS against sabers, archers etc.
Assassins has the same problem of 0.9 damage multipliers and they are mainly quick servants, why no one complains about them?
you should probably read what I wrote. you'd understand I literally explained it wasn't a big deal but why his medea's damage probably seemed so underwhelming on the surface. I addressed all that, minus the non-relevant assassin bonus. I took the time to give a thorough explanation, the least you could do is read it properly before making assumptions
Well, you addressed the caster damage multiplier as a problem, when it clearly isn't. I said, with buffs and without buffs when you are counter classing, this isn't an issue at all, with buffs they'll do as good as other classes do in a similar setup. The assassin thing was an example to support my statement.
I read through yours, I just found the caster multiplier being a 'problem' isn't acceptable and probably got hot headed a bit there, because, things, sorry.
I'll edit the phrasing then. I used term "problem" because OP themself is saying medea is bad when she clearly is not, so I used "problem" to state why the damage may seem low, but then how its adjusted and fixed when utilized. I'll be careful of my phrasing in the future
If your Medea isn't doing enough damage then you're doing something wrong. She can spam NPs *almost* every turn in an arts team which adds up to a lot of damage.
Did you have Medea at NP5 though? Because with the right buffs and CE, my Medea spammed her NP for three consecutive times with a 100K+ damage each.
Halloween Liz is currently your best bet (as a welfare servant).
She's a buster NP caster and has a self Buster Up skill + is NP5 already. That is, she's an option if you already have her from Halloween but just not leveled.
Other than that, Babbage is quite good, a Caster that pretends to be a Saber. And he does his job quite well. After his Strengthening, he's going to be quite a hitter.
And Sanzou.
I'll be rolling for her since i like her a lot. She comes in "A Journey to the West" Event, which should be here soon-ish.
I am so glad there are people giving pumpkin liz some recognition. someone said Iri was finally the first "Decent welfare caster in NA" and I died a little inside. Pumpkin Liz is so underrated, I don't think people appreciate how strong her innocent monster skill is, especially with 2030 floating around. I really want Sanzou, I love her, but I love Martha Ruler more, and so I am trying to hold back the next few months for summer, but I might just try my luck with a few tickets...
