I recently got Lancelot saber. I want to know what CE and servants I should pair him up with for an Arts Crit team or an NP spam team.
I have:
Archer Artoria
Orion
Kuro
Lancer tamamo
Assassin Scathach
Helena
Nursery Rhyme
Da Vinci
Nitocris
Lancelot berserker
This will be a great help. Thanks!
Arts and crit strength up are awesome... Think it's called another ending. Summertime mistress will give the crit strength and a np boost, not that he needs much help unless you really want to spam his np (totally possible with a np a a brave chain)
Hope you saved all the medals from the lottery... He needs a LOT. I cleaned out summer event and 11 lottery runs of medals and still don't have enough for his last skill... Worth it though
Any arts and/or Crit CEs are great on him. Np damage is good too, but I personally prefer arts/crit. Another Ending is made for him and MLB'd Kaleid Sapphire from the Prisma Event would also be great on him if you have it. imho, Arts/Crit teams are definitely the way to go for Lancelot because his skills are geared towards it. He can still chain 2 NP's together assuming you can get an arts brave chain with full crits and full buffs.The thing with Lancelot or any crit-based servants is that they don't play nice with one another, unless you have 50+ stars per turn. Best teams with him are with two other supports who can provide sustain and arts/crit buffs and/or stars.
Usually good Arts team for NP-spam looks like this:
Tamamo(caster) / Second Support or Tank / Damager
In your case just pick ur Saberlot, support Tamamo and Hans for good crit buff (or Mozart with lvl10 3rd skill).
As for CE - that's easy: Supports should have 2030 or bond CE (or any arts CE in case you don't have those) and Saberlot with Another Ending or any good Crit or Arts CE.
Pair him with Helena for the Stars.
You can also do Helena and Hans, with him for a little cheap healing.
Personally, I paired mine with Summer Marie.
Depends. Are you expecting to use him as your dps? If so, I'm sure you have a Hans and mash. Pair them with Lancelot is a much better choice as Hans can generate even more stars for you, increase your critical damage and a on demand garaunteed 1000hp heal with a 80% to buff atk/def for 3 turns.
Mash does mash things and you need a way to build up art chains during your down time for np spam and mash is ideal for that while providing you with a 20% np charge + invul, a taunt and def buff.
As most people have said, best ce for saberlot is another ending. Other alternatives are CEs which increase crit damage like the recent summer ce.
If he's more of a secondary dps/support role aka star gen slave, best ce for him is obviously fragment of 2030. He's best paired with Archer artoria and another support like mash/Hans.
Helena is ok-ish but frankly Hans/mash are much better at support
I super agree about Hans, but I'd say that the Mash > Helena thing is dependent on the situation. The biggest problem with Mash is that her star absorption is really high for a support. She basically has the same star absorption as Saberlot (99 vs 100). So while Saberlot's skills are on cooldown, Mash will be taking half of his stars. Helena not only has half the star absorption that Mash does, but she also actually brings some additional stars to the table, on top of her NP gauge boost and her 3 turn arts/quick/buster steroid.
So if it's a fight where the additional survivability is necessary, then Mash is certainly the best choice. But for standard situations, I'd personally lean towards Helena over Mash. Hans' healing and defense buff is plenty for survival in a lot of fights.
Yes, mash do have a higher star absorbtion rate. However, saberlot does have his own increase star absorbtion skill as well. That means the 3 turns when stars are generating in large amounts, he's able to use em as well. It's only during his downtime where mash will fight stars with saberlot.
During his downtime is when saberlot is at his weakest. He also needs to survive as long as possible if he is the main dps. Mash and Hans will tide him over during his downtime between their defense buffs, heals, invul and taunt, he should survive till his next 3 burst damage turns.
Helena does bring more firepower to the table but her skills take too long to go off cd. Probably useful for shorter fights but why would I bring saberlot to short fights? Most would rather bring an aoe servant for shorter fights, no?
Yeah, when his skills are available, there is no concern about star absorption. I was talking about during his downtime. Since he's at his weakest then, I figured that that's when he can least afford to have someone hogging all of his stars. If he's got two low star weight supports that are also tossing him some stars during that time, he can still get a fair amount of crits off even without his skills being active. If he's doing more damage during that time, then he will kill stuff faster and need less protection. But of course, as I said, it's a situational thing. There are certainly some fights where he might need extra protection, in which case Mash is excellent. I just personally don't usually wind up finding myself needing that extra protection all that often. I'm sure that this game will evolve in difficulty in some point, and stuff like that will be more necessary, but as it is right now, is there even a such thing as long battles?
I know that you didn't list him, but I'm sure that you've got a Hans laying around somewhere. He goes really well with Saberlot, especially if you don't have fragment of 2030. Saberlot can largely supply his own stars, but his passive star generation isn't quite enough when you wind up with 3+ Saberlot cards (15 stars, divided amongst 3 cards only yields a 50% chance to crit per card). Hans' additional passive star generation (from his 3rd skill) will fill in that gap. On top of that, Hans can give him an additional crit damage steroid, an attack buff, a defense buff, and health Regen. Hans is one of the best Saberlot supports in the game, imo, so don't look down on him just because he's a 2* servant.
Other than Hans, out of the servants you listed, I'd probably go with Helena. Hans + Helena + Saberlot would make a nice team. I'm probably going to call them the HHS Squad henceforth.
As far as CE's go, Another Ending is what is generally recommended for him, but it just depends on what you have available. Something with +Arts and/or +Crit is probably ideal in general situations. I managed to get Another Ending in the same 10-roll that I got Saberlot, so I was pretty happy about that.
Rising some low star servant like Hans ,Mozart and Paracelsus will be a great Investment
for your art team like NP Art, Crit Art, Stall Art or other Art team type.
Next time insert some low star supp in your list.
I have Hans and Mozart Max ascended and max skilled, also have Helena almost max skilled.
Hans without 2030 CE is still great and if you have one already, Crit star will rain for ya. He's Undoubtedly the best low star supp for Art crit team.
Mozart is like 1-3 turn Art team Nuclear team comp, if you can use him.
Paracelsus for more sustained art Team.
Helena for General supp, daily farm and also a supp playmaker for art team.
If you don't have Another Ending yet, just use your best Art CE for now, and prepare to roll for it later.
Been using Art team for more than a year, i don't have Tamamo so i just borrow from some friend and if Tamamo don't show up i used my own Supp.
Mostly your servant is art type, remember raising Art supp for long Investment.
I used Sustained Art team to clear Nerofest Grand Final. I also insert Hans and Helena as main supp and Nero as backliner there. No Command Seal needed and clear the Challenge for just 13 turn.
Georgios and Saber Fur Elise is a great tank for Art team.
I'm F2P by the way.
