Hey guys long time no see(okita or Dantes?)

With the release of the New years servant in JP Beni-enma who waifu levels of cute and op in gameplay I'd say skip Okita unless you like her and are willing to wait 3 years for the new saber. I'd honestly go for Dantes NP 2 or above but if F2P just go NP 1-NP2 if you can't get NP 2 save for it in a later date. I chose Dantes since Skadi and you know how quick is the meta currently. But it might shift to arts tnx to the Tamamo caster buff, new saber and Lan Ling. I honestly think after this they might buff the buster meme/meta again.

Dantes is probably a better long-term investment than Okita, at least in terms of peak gameplay effectiveness. Dantes isn't that good unless supported by Skadi, and independently, Okita outmatches him, but as stated he has better performance with skadi support. As the previous commenter pointed out, Okita has some stiff competition. While she's the best quick saber, the saber class in general is packed with incredible servants already, and the two new ones in JP are really good too. Contrast that with Dantes, he's effectively the best AOE avenger now and a favourite as the DPS in one of the best farming comps in JP right now.

Personally I prefer Okita tho lol
