Fate/Grand Order

http://fate-go.cirnopedia.info and http://kairosity.tumblr.com/post/125576872324/fategrand-order-how-to-play are comprehensive guides to most of the interface and battle system. (I say most, because parts of the guides are outdated after several UI changes.)

You will quickly learn to recognize what 'ok and 'cancel' look like in japanese, though. Easy tip, cancel an cancel-like commands (like 'return') are the buttons on the left, 'ok' and confirmation-type commands are on the right.

Alright thanks, also I found a You Tube walk-through so I should manage.

Also do Servants have different stats or are they the same? Like if you got 3 Jack's would they be completely identical?

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

All stats for multiple copies of a Servant are identical, so yes if you got three Jack the Rippers, they would all have the same stats at lvl 1 and the same at lvl 90.

Ah so if i'm a completionist & I got one Servant I can sell the rest cause I only need the one, right?

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

No you need multiple copies of one Servant to level up their NP to lvl 5, once you max the NP level, then you can sell them for QP/Mana Prisms.

Or use them for EXP.

Alright simple enough.

So how is Lancelot? He is kinda my favorite Servant so I want try to unlock him.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

He's really good for damage since everything is weak to a Berserker, he's a Glass Cannon tho and everything is strong against Berserker, so if enemies keep attacking him, he dies really quickly. His skills are crap imo.

Huh, also i'm surprised he's not a 5-Star. I mean with all the shit he's capable of & is about as strong as Artoria, maybe even stronger I'm surprised he's a 4 instead.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

There was a Saber Lancelot announced in a magazine, so that's probably going to be the 5* Lancelot.

Popularity has more to do with star level than their actual strength.

Ah then that saddens me..... that stripper-loli-Jack & Fem-Frankenstein are apparently more popular than the guy who beat Gilgamesh of all people in a Goddamn dog-fight & uses a chain-gatling gun.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

Huh, thanks IANCE. There was a link in the link you posted that got Memu working for me, so now I don't have to suffer through my phone constantly crashing GO.

Hey at least you have a better chance of rolling him! Also IIRC, could be wrong, Lancelot's one of the ten guaranteed 4* Servants that you could get from your tutorial roll.

@SCM: The Robin Hood NP bug's still in-game.

YES! So If I set of his NP after El Melloi and Avenjeanne, the damage should be good. Gotta experiment on the daily quest enemies.

It makes sense Lancelot is weaker. A lot of his firepower in Fate Zero comes from his being able to turn anything he touches into an NP. The game has no equivalent for such a thing, so he was nerfed accordingly.

Though isn't his sword as strong or at least near Excalibur's level?

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

Arondight is purely cosmetic for Lancelot in Grand Order, he only uses it after his third Ascension, and for a while, he didn't even use the weapon in-game until people complained that he was still using the street lamp pole instead of using Arondight like the card artwork.

Its no problem to type my player name in English correct?

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

Yeah it's fine, if you're dissatisfied with it, you can change it later on in the My Room menu.

By the way, don't discount Bronze or Silver servants based on stats. Best Hassan-i-Sabbah, Cu Chulainn (Lancer) and Hans Christian Anderson are all pretty good servants.

But in the end it doesn't matter, roll for best waifus.

Holy Grail, huh? Cool story, bro.

Also, Kojiro is the Savior of France though, admittedly, he's far less necessary now that Orleans won't kick your ass, your face or your balls into outer space, and you should be able to punch through it normally.

Hans is great for buffing, 2 stars, George is a decent tank, again 2 stars, Leonidas works really well with a Berserker team...

Oh, and most importantly, Nero is immortal. No, really, Nero is fucking immortal. Go to Youtube. See her Solo'ing bosses. Nero is immortal.

That's a general thing with Berserkers, the majority have innate powers or summon-based N Ps rather than unleashing their weapon's power (the remaining being just Lu Bu and Kintoki, though Cu Alter uses Gay Bulge a few times in cutscenes. And maybe Fran, depending on whether you consider the Bridal Chest a part of her or a weapon). I've seen a few people complain about Beowulf not using Hrunting either... even though the Aesop of his story could totally be "swords are shit and will fail you when you need them, punching is better"

Why do people complain about Beowulf not using Hruntig?

There's a reason why it's infinitely better suited to be used as a projectile by EMIYA than it is as a sword for Beowulf. And besides, him throwing his swords away and proceeding to just pummel whatever he's fighting is infinitely more badass than an NP that has the sole ability of 'homing attack'.

It's not like he's going to miss very much with his fists, after all.

I will roll for the badasses. Pretty waifu's are irrelavent to me. I kinda find it annoying anyway that most of the female Servants art is more about them being cute or sexy instead of being awesome like the guys. Though there are some exceptions, Saint Martha has a pretty good ascension art.

The point with Beowulf is that since he is most famous for killing Grendel with his bare hands & his swords constantly breaking it make sense his strongest attack would be his fists.
