Am I still in time to farm corals, rolls, baskets, ecc... to get a NP5 Kintoki? I have 160 corals, rolls and baskets. I still have to farm DP because I'm only at 44M, so I will probably begin to farm corals and company two-three days from now. In conclusion, is it worth it to have a level 5 NP, or maybe should I stop farming and try to get Minamoto collecting SQ (I still haven't completed 5th singularity and I didn't complete any free quests, so I can get them easily)?
My most powerful servants are Herc LV50, Shishou LV45, Kintoki Rider LV50, Mash LV40, Andersen LV35, Cu Lancer LV30, Fuuma LV30. Considering how difficult some farm stages are, I don't know if I should try...
It is always worth it to NP5 welfare servants. Ridertoki has good NP gains so his NP will be used often. If you don't have drop CE, do the Cave - Oni consistently because it drops all shop mats. Ridertoki alone can be sufficient on that node due to his event damage boost.
In my opinion, I would focus more on purchasing the mats from the store than the extra Kintoki rider cards. Getting him to NP2 would serve you fine, but even if you don’t get that, it isn’t a huge loss. You still need to get to 100 million DP points to have all the lighters in order to ascend him fully. I think that is more important than getting him to NP5. And you may not need mats now, but it’s always great to stock them all so when you do get some lucky pulls, you have them already set aside.
It also looks like your current servants aren’t maxed so you definitely want to make sure you get the mats for them. You can also use the Coral to exchange for XP cards (3 for 1 I believe) if you need help boosting their levels. Hopefully you have some of the CEs for this event as it makes gathering easier. Are you trying to roll for Raikou? Is that why you want more SQs?
Yeah, since I had enough EX-luck to get Scathach in only one multiroll during the 3M downloads campaign, I was trying to test my luck another time. Honestly, I don't care for ascension/skill-up materials (apart from Kintoki's), because I can obtain them in the future events, when I will be stronger. The only thing that bothered me was to fully "evolve" Kintoki, because his ascension/NP-up items are limited to this event, but if it isn't necessary, I'll just farm one item and get him to NP2.
Yea, I think that’s the best way to go. In all the time I’ve been playing I don’t think I’ve ever fully charged anyone’s NP that high. I usually need to fire it off sooner or they’ll end up dying while I keep hoping to charge them all the way up lol. And if you’re looking to roll for Raikou then certainly go for the SQ as it’ll probably be a good long while till she has another banner. I only suggest farming for mats cause this is an event where almost all of them are available, unlike the last event that only had a few. Good luck on your rolls!!
So I know what you're getting at with the charge levels, but getting Ridertoki's NP up to level 5 increases its base damage by an additional 800%, regardless of what charge it is.
Firing off a level 5 NP on turn 2 is always preferable to a level 1-3 one. The extra effort for the difference between 4-5 is more debatable.
While Ridertoki benefits from overcharge, high overcharge is not equal to high damage when your servants is just NP1. You could easily gain overcharge levels by doing NP chain, but the damage Kintoki deals at NP5 level 1 overcharge will be superior compared to NP1 level 5 overcharge.
Holy crap, this is a dangerous answer.
This is completely incorrect, and prioritizing materials over NP upgrades/ascension tokens is a terrible idea. The damage of an NP is (usually) unaffected by the charge level of the Servant - the charge level indicates how large the overcharge effect will be. That's why it is essential that you get those NP upgrades because it is a straight damage and effectiveness upgrade.
Now, a new Servant is the most useful and best thing to unlock from events like these. Materials and quartz can always be unlocked later and a guaranteed Servant is always worth more than the chance for one. If you have limited time, and can only get the event Servant, that by itself is worth than the entirety of the rest of the event.
Finally, let's not forget that Kintoki is an extremely powerful Servant and having him at his strongest is ideal.
I would second this answer. Maxing a welfare servant is always worth it, not least because they're usually your best (only) bet when it comes to NP5ing any gold servant unless you have crazy luck. You could always stick some kojiro CEs from the friend point gacha on your team and farm corals, then use them to buy EXP embers from the shop to at least get Kintoki to a better level, then rely on him + support to farm the rest.
Although bear in mind that this event will have a rerun next year so you still have a chance at NP5 kintoki if you miss it this year.
Okay, just got NP5 Kintoki and all of the BP rewards. Now I'm farming for skill-up/ascension materials. Thank you all
