Valentines Gacha

Ok, so I'm planning on spending the 60SQ and nearly 20 tickets I have this Valentines to try for MHXA. But since I know chances aren't all that high, I wanna aim for a secondary goal.

Right now, Servants are as follows.

5* - Altria (Saber), Nero Bride, Ozy, Nightingale, Dantes, Orion, Tamamo Caster, Berserker Vlad
4* - Lancelot (Saber), Rama, Siegfried, EMIYA, Chloe, Vlad III, Elizabeth (Lancer, Saber and Caster), Mordred (Rider), Kintoki (Rider), Santa Alter (Jeanne and Altria), Anne Bonny/Mary Read (Rider), Marie Antoinette (Rider), Gilgamesh (Caster), Nursery Rhyme, Irisviel, Blavatsky, Scathach (Assassin), Ibaraki, Berserker Lancelot, Beowulf, Fran, Tamamo-cat, Martha (Ruler), and Mash (Of course).

1-3* are a given of course.

Among the lovely ladies, I was thinking either Jack (I lack a solid assassin outside of Shishou, CA Hassan, and Kotaro), or Ruler Jeanne (I have lots of Arts-centric Servants so she'd be a good fit).

Any opinions or other options I should consider? (Asides from Waver) Thanks.

Jack or Jeanne are both great options for you. (Jeanne might be better since you have Bride and Tamamo, but King Hassan removed most of the Jacks from my support list.) If you don't get either, you can try again during the class-based summoning campaigns come March and August; Jack and Jeanne share rate up, so you'll be pretty sure to get one of them.

Definitely consider Waver. :)

Among the gentlemen, Karna, Enkidu, and Cú Alter are the standouts---Cú especially, since he's story-locked and you'll never get a spook. But the guys are all on shared rate-up so I don't recommend rolling for any of this until Chaldea Boys in March because the odds you'll get a unit you don't want a pretty high.

I feel you. Despite Jack being an overall better choice, most of my list have been replaced by KH. He's good but I prefer Jack from a gameplay standpoint.

And that combined rate-up is pretty much why I'm not considering any of the guys just yet. Given my only dedicated supports are Tamamo, Gil, Nightingale and Helena, I've wanted my own Waver for a while now but he just doesn't wanna come home. I got Tamamo during the GSSR.

Hard to say if I'll be rolling for anyone else after this since I'll be saving what little I can for the SERAPH rate-ups for the Alter Ego classes.

Since you are going into it with limited rescources as you said, only 60 SQ and 20 tickets, you’ll probably only want to focus on one and I would go for Jack. She is still arguably the best assassin in the game. Best star gen of any servant and the female niche on her NP which covers a lot of the dangerous riders.

Jeanne is helpful in arts teams by giving you the added arts cards to work with, so you’ll get to fire off some more NPs, but her kit is still just average. And you already have the right pieces for great arts teams without her. Her NPs team invincibility is definitely a nice effect, but I don’t think you need her. Assassin looks like where you’re lacking the most and taking the chance at getting the best in class over just another arts servants to add to a team full of good ones makes focusing on Jack the choice I would go for.

Jack looks like a great choice, your other classes are well represented and jack is an amazing servant.

Jeanne is less useful unless you like zombie teams or are tackling a challenge quest and need serious stamina.

I'm not even certain if you'll get anything due to your low chance.

Probably not, no. However, this will be my best chance to get Jack or Jeanne. I can't aim for them both but there's the bonus of possibly getting MHXA.

The next chance is the class banner, possibly in April if I remember right, but I'll be saving up for the Alterego Servants by then so I won't have the SQ to spare.

Also I prefer not to save up too much SQ to spend on one banner. Since I'm F2P (with the exception of GSSRs) spending hundreds of saved up SQ on one banner but getting nothing would leave me in an ocean of tears. So I look up banners and Servants, choosen a handful to go after that are spaced apart enoug to give me time to save up SQ and tickets, then go all out.

I can't tell if you already know this, but saying a "secondary goal" implies that if you don't get MHXA, then if you get the other that's OK. But the way it works is that by rolling on a double banner, you reduce your chance at MHXA such that either her or the other servant will have equal odds. You're not overall increasing your chance to get any 5*.

I think the last time I looked at a double banner, the probability of each 5* was something like 0.45% instead of 0.7% for a single rate-up. At least that means you'd be less likely to get spooked, but it still means that if you would much rather have MHXA over the other servant, you might just as well roll on her single banner.

I'm aware. At the moment, rolling MHXA is for waifu purposes. I could probably make a semi-decent team with her but I lack certain Servants for a better one, Skadi the least of them.

The only time I ever got a 5* from the banner they were featured on was Dantes last year as my first SSR (GSSRs don't count) . Any other time and I got someone that wasn't even on rate-up or just flat out didn't get so much as a 4*. At least this way I have a better chance of getting someone else I want as opposed to some random 5*.
