I have real shit luck so this free ticket really help and so I've narrowed it down to 2 options either Suzuka or Penthesilea. Penthesilea is a zerk and has an increase buster skill to all servants and NP damage to 1 enemy, as Suzuka increases buster card to herself, but has an AOE NP. So which servant is better?
Suzuka is a critbuster servant. She has a similar role to Lancelot or Emiya. Her NP gives a lot of crit stars so she can demolish anything with crits next turn, but she lacks a crit steroid.
Penthesilea is like a normal berserker, a glass cannon with a self debuff inmunity and a NP battery per turn.
I'd say pick the one you like the most.
I second this, if OP really2 sure about covering and protecting Glass Cannon like Penthesilea, she's a better choice.
If OP play in safety and don't want to risk his/herself when playing high risk high reward gameplay then OP could choose Suzuka Gozen instead.
If you've no trouble fielding someone like Lu Bu, Raikou, Zerkerlot, Kintoki Zerker on the front line then it's a big pass for you to choose Penthesilea. Heck i would even dare to says you can clear any challenge quest easily.
On JP, Penthesilea DPS qualities is on par with 5 * Zerkers and i would say she's a 4 * Lu Bu with 5* Atk stats.
Lu Bu hits very hard with his NP, but Penthesilea hits very hard by using both her NP and her normal cards.
Also one of the most devastating ST Zerker yet, below Hijikata and Raikou ( AOE but hit like a truck ) and i would say she's on the 3rd position.
For comparison, 1 hit Buster card damage from Penthesilea is almost as high as Suzuka Gozen Buster card when the Crit procc.
When Penthesilea Crit ( it won't happen anyway, Penthesilea Buster Crit party = survivability reduced a lot = do or die situation ) it's always higher than Suzuka Gozen Buster Crit.
She's an upgraded Kintoki Zerker, with slightly less atk. She only can deal damage, damage, damage and no survivability. When you've seen her damage, you'll be amazed.
She's one of the best solution if you're too lazy to bring some class advantage units.
Suzuka Gozen here would be easier to use and also her gameplay is similiar to Emiya, Gil, Zerkerlot and Ishtar.
I would say she's like a saber version of Emiya.
Beginner friendly, more stable, better survivability and can stay longer on the field. She has better tactical potentials than Penthesilea.
If i'm a veteran or seasoned player i would choose Penthesilea but if i can't even protect one my team member then a more stable unit like Suzuka would do the job.
Both is strong in their own ways, one is strong for brute force, one is tougher and can deal more consistent damage.
But stiil, roll who you like the most.
Bonus :
i also planned to roll for both, but i don't have SQs for now and i currently saving SQ too. I don't have any luck to aquire luxury unit like SSR, strong servants like them can replace some of my 5 * if you've got their Bond maxed.
Suzuka Gozen can replace my Gilgamesh for AOE, farm and boss killing and Penthesilea can replace my Ibaraki for countering some node with multiple classes or if i just want to OTK a single boss.
