MMM - Legion of Lizard-Lady Lookalikes Launch, Leaping Lengths of Latitude in Last Lalapalooza (Halloween 2025)

With a BBAQQ card deck and a base NP gain of 0.55%, this Liz unsurprisingly has a 4-hit Arts card, tallying to a base Arts gain of 2.2, pretty much dead on average for a single-Arts card Servant. Thankfully her hitcounts on her other cards are high across the board, so her Busters and Quicks are both pretty decent for NP gain, while her Extra card is plain in comparison.

As you might expect, having 5 hits on both her Buster and Quick cards results in superb star generation, arguably the best of any Lancer in the game. Such a level of oestrogen means she’s adept at fuelling her own crits, which as always improves her NP gain by proxy. As a result she’s further above the standard for NP gauge generation than you may expect, though it does require her to have time to fuel those crits.

Skill 1

First on Liz’s skill lineup is…Inheritor of the Planumpkin. Okay, I’m the one who translated this pun, but no matter how you slice it, it’s hard to mash “Planet” and “Pumpkin” together.

At any rate, this is a Charisma clone skill with some Halloween Liz flavouring, providing the standard 20% Attack Up buff to the team, as well as a combo of 30% Buster Up and Critical Damage Up to Liz herself, all for 3 turns.

In addition to that, Liz gets a 3-turn buff that applies a 500 damage Burn to targets she hits for 3 turns, a neat bonus flavouring that doesn’t result in much power on its own. She can stack this debuff up a lot given there’s no hit-based expiry, but unless Liz herself has tools synergizing with Burn effects (Spoiler: She doesn’t), it’s unlikely to be impactful.

The damage boosts on this skill are solid, providing a potent 3-turn steroid for Liz’s primary card type, but it’s nothing exceptional on the whole. Despite being a Charisma-like skill, it comes packing an 8-turn base cooldown, longer than it probably deserves.

Skill 2

Next is Elisabeth Evoluzio. Mama Mia, that’s a spicy piece of romantic language, that probably references the most obscure mecha anime you can imagine.

This skill packs a lot of power in a small package, providing Liz with a 2-time, 3-turn Invincible buff, and two other buffs that need to be broken down individually.

First of those is the buff which provides the whole team with a 1-time, 3-turn 1-stage Overcharge boost every time Liz uses a Buster card, with this effect applying 3 times over 3 turns. That’s a mouthful, but essentially Liz slaps a free level of Overcharge on the whole team whenever she uses a Buster, totalling to 300% if you use 3 Buster cards over 3 turns. You don’t need me to tell you that Overcharge boosts are situationally incredibly strong, with Servants like Castoria being able to essentially assure team survival for multiple turns with a high Overcharge level. And naturally, Liz can benefit from her own Overcharge levels, so she’s not being purely selfless with this effect.

The second is that Liz gets 10% gauge charge for every Liz trait ally and enemy on the field, up to a theoretical maximum of 90% gauge charge. More realistically, Liz is getting 10-30% gauge charge from this skill, as she gets to count herself and whichever assortment of her alter egos (sometimes that’s capitalized) you bring to the field with her.

So these few buffs result in a lot of power for both Liz and her team, providing a defensive tool, team overcharge, and potentially a lot of NP gauge, though realistically a modest sum. Having to field other Liz Servants for more gauge charge isn’t a particularly valuable thing, given most Liz’s aren’t very… What's the word, “good”? But if you’ve been clued into a recent Servant design meme Lasengle has liked doing, you might see where this is going. The 9-turn base cooldown on this skill is scarily long, admittedly, but it’s not too much of an issue given the potential strength of the skill.

Skill 3

Rounding out this kit is Minovsky Particles, the mystical pseudo-science that Mobile Suits in Gundam deploy when engaging combat, scrambling the measuring instruments and targeting of traditional capital weapons on spaceships, which is what makes the Mobile Suits in that world actually work in practical combat scenarios.

…Oh, forget that. This skill is actually Eliza Particles, the mystical pseudo-science that Liz deploys in FGO to convince every other Servant that they, too, are a tone-deaf vampire dragon lady with an addiction to the colour pink.

On use, this skill provides a 30% gauge charge to Liz herself and 20% gauge charge to her team, as well as a modest 15-star bomb. The 50% gauge charge to Liz herself is naturally great, even if a standard tool for SSR Servants, and the bonus gauge charge to her team is similarly appreciated.

The real draw to this skill is that it convinces Liz’s teammates that they’re also one of the many Liz alts infesting FGO, providing the Elisabeth trait to them for 3 turns at the cost of a hefty 50% Mental Debuff Resist Down debuff for the same duration, making them exceptionally vulnerable to incoming Charm or Terror effects, and so on. Naturally, this means Liz can assure her other gauge charger amounts to at least 30%, meaning she has a surprisingly good 80% gauge charge from her own kit, a rarity for an offensive Servant.

Otherwise this thing doesn’t do much, but the gauge charge alone on this skill is great, and the Liz Brainwashing also has further synergy with her NP, which I’ll cover shortly. And at a base cooldown of 8 turns, this skill comes up reasonably fast, even if it means it’s out of sync with Elisabeth Evoluzio, which it’s meant to combo with.

Naturally, the most complicated part of this whole kit is Liz’s NP…s. Plural. While the difference is minute, there is a difference between her NP in her first two ascensions, and the one in her third ascension. It’s nothing as significant as a swap between AOE and ST damage or anything, but I’ll note the differences as they come up.

Regardless, this NP is always a Buster ST NP, and immediately we get a differing point between the two versions, as Liz gets a NP Strength Up buff for 1 turn before damage, providing 10% in her Ascension 1-2 forms, with Báthory Megszégyelt, but instead getting 20% with Verremarsch Erzsébet in her Ascension 3 form, and a more favourable scaling with Overcharge (though both buffs improve with Overcharge).

Liz then inflicts her damage to the target, with a +50% Effective Damage boost against Dragon trait targets. This naturally allows Liz to teamkill her own alternative versions effectively, but a non-significant sum of about 50 Servants in the game are dragons, as well as a pretty notable number of NPCs, including some common miniboss-type mobs. While naturally not as great as an attribute or gender-based effective damage bonus, it’s still pretty useful.

Liz then reduces the NP gauge of the target by 1 step and slaps a 2k damage, 5-turn Curse debuff on them. While the Curse is really not worth speaking of, NP gauge drain on an offensive NP, especially if it can be used consistently in succession, is superb in difficult content, and most of the time that effect alone elevates a Servant significantly.

With that in mind, the last couple of effects come into play - Liz provides gauge charge to all of her Liz-like allies, whether they’re OG’s or brainwashed idols, with the quantity being 10% in her Ascension 1-2 forms, and 20% in her Ascension 3 form. As you can see, most of the changes benefit her 3rd Ascension, so you’re sort of being funneled into that form regardless of which you like.

But hey, the Ascension 1-2 form NP gives a hefty 30 Critical Star bomb in the place of those more significant bonuses, so that’s always an option if you prefer to fuel Liz’s critical damage output.

That hefty selection of effects out of the way, let’s examine Liz’s damage output, assuming we’re using the largely-superior 3rd Ascension form version. With just her own buffs in play, Liz is dishing out about 50k damage against a neutral target with her NP. That’s a little below par for a single-target NP, but she does a lot of gauge charging, so it might be better to examine her in a practical farming setup.

With double Koyanskaya backing her and a Black Grail (because I can’t frankly ever see a reason to use her with a 50% gauge CE unless you don’t have Koyanskaya), Liz is dishing out 152k neutral on wave 1, 160k on wave 2, and 272k damage on wave 3. In spite of the Black Grail backing her, these damage numbers aren’t particularly special, unless you manage to hit her Dragon trait effect damage.

In case you’re concerned with how Liz manages a 3-turn loop, with maxed out Mana Loading append skill she can get 100% gauge on the first turn from her own skills (20% to start, +50% from her 3rd skill, +30% from her second skill), she gets 100% gauge charge from both Koyanskaya skills, then on wave 3 she has 20% gauge from her NP refund and can use her gauge chargers again to reach 100% (either using the Skill Reload append skill or the Atlas Academy Mystic Code to get the last cooldown reduction). Managing a consistent 3-turn NP loop like this as a Buster Servant without using Battlesuit swaps is frankly impressive, though it doesn’t result in anything exceptional damage-wise. She’ll be able to score kills on 1m HP 90++ node bosses she has class advantage against with a damage-boosting event CE, if nothing else.

With a base NP gain of 0.56% and a BBBAQ card deck, Liz of the End is a true Buster gorilla, and her 4-hit Arts card comes with a suitably average base Arts gain of 2.24. The fabled curse of the 4-hit Arts…yet again does not strike, as Liz’s Quick card is a superb 6 hits to its name, meaning only her Busters (which aren’t influenced much in NP gain either way) and her Extra card are poor for NP gain. The lack of NP gauge-producing cards in general is an issue for her, but at least said cards do their job reasonably well.

Comparably, Liz’s star generation is mixed. That 6-hit Quick card naturally goes insane for star generation, but the awful base star generation of the Avenger class combined with her mediocre Buster hitcounts means she won’t produce many stars with her most common card type. It’s a shame, but there’s plenty of ways to supplement star generation if you want her to dish out the crits.

Skill 1

First for the skill lineup is Shrine Maiden - Mars. Unsure if this skill is gonna be a combo of Sailor Moon shenanigans or Archetype shenanigans, I’ll just assume it’s both.

This skill is a fairly straightforward gauge charger skill, providing 30% gauge to Liz herself on use, as well as a combo of 10% NP gauge and 10 Critical Stars each turn for the whole team over 3 turns. While NP gauge on each turn doesn’t directly translate to as much power as immediate, controlled NP gauge, it’s still a powerful supportive effect, providing Liz 60% gauge charge each use, and 30% for her teammates. And failing that, 30% gauge charge is the bare minimum to be effective with Koyanskaya support setups, so it’s still great.

The Critical Stars gained shouldn’t be overlooked either, given I highlighted Liz’s weakness in star generation otherwise. With this she can at least produce a consistent flat 30 Stars each turn (as said 10-star per turn buff is applied to every ally) while her skills are active. And with a base 8-turn cooldown, this skill will come back around swiftly given the potency of its gauge charge.

Skill 2

Next is Pumpkin Planet. I feel like some themes are being repeated across multiple Servants, here…

This skill is a standard Charisma clone skill, providing the whole team with a 20% Attack Up and Critical Damage Up buff for 3 turns, and a further 30% Critical Damage Up if you’re fighting on a Halloween trait battlefield. So in other words, enjoy that bonus Critical Damage for this event while it lasts, it might never come back.

The last, and not-insignificant effect, is a 30-Critical Star bomb on use. While this won’t really matter in farming context, having a huge amount of stars for a turn 1 Critical Damage burst is useful, especially with the Critical buffs Liz is already providing in the same breath.

Unfortunately this skill just isn’t particularly strong on the whole, even if the damage boost is appreciated. It even comes at a longer 8-turn base cooldown, compared to the standard for Charisma skills.

Skill 3

Wrapping up Liz of the End’s skills is Ruler of the Stars. Befitting its grandiose name, this skill provides a trio of incredibly powerful buffs to a targeted ally.

The combo of +50% Buster Up and Critical Damage Up, as well as enough Star Weight to consume the current Critical Star lineup is spectacular, doubly so that you get it for 3 turns. It’s arguably better than Merlin’s Hero Creation, even if the schlong wizard himself isn’t the hottest Caster in the game any more. As you might expect, a welfare Servant can’t get such a powerful buff without a cost.

Regardless of the target of this skill, Liz drops to 1 HP on use and slaps a 1k damage burn on Liz herself for 3 turns. The way this Burn debuff functions is abnormal - usually if you beat a Node by defeating all remaining foes, DoT effects like Burn/Poison/Curse or self-inflicted damage from Black Grail won’t kill your Servants at the end of the player turn, leaving them with 1 HP even if they would die. This exists to ensure that defeating a tough fight by that kind of minor margin in FGO doesn’t result in your last Servant dying from a DoT and resulting in a loss. This debuff specifically…bypasses that rule, usually not making any difference, but ensuring that Liz can’t clutch up as the last Servant remaining after using this skill.

In most circumstances, this effect basically means you have to debuff cleanse, heal, or slap a Guts buff on Liz if you want her to live for more than 1 turn after its use. Thankfully, most good Mystic Codes in the game have a 2-3k HP heal that exactly keeps Liz alive long enough to run out her buffs’ durations, if not longer with further assistance. And the sheer offensive might you gain from this skill is well worth that cost, if you ask me. If you haven’t already, this is a good time to level the Chaldea Uniform - Decisive Battle, as unlike the Chaldea Combat Uniform it packs a heal to keep Liz alive, and the damage boost is generally superior for NP turns. Like the rest of her skills, this comes in at a neat 8-turn base cooldown, basically on par for similar supportive buffs.

Bringing an end to Liz’s whole kit is her NP, King Eliz Tharsis Montes. As a Buster AOE NP this will be capable of farming, though light on the refund calculations, and naturally as a welfare Servant she reaps the benefits of a free NP5 damage modifier, so sit tight for that.

So far as the effects go, this NP is comparatively brisk. Before dealing damage Liz gets a superb 10% Buster Up buff for 3 turns, scaling with Overcharge, which provides a very potent ramping damage buff that applies to her primary card type as well as her NP itself.

Then she deals her damage, removing all Offensive buffs from the enemies struck afterwards, and slapping a 1k Curse and Burn on them for 3 turns for good measure. As I said, her NP is very brief in its effects, but the pre-damage steroid is superb, and offensive buff removal will be occasionally handy in more difficult content.

With that aside, let’s look into her damage output. With just her own kit buffing her, Liz is dishing out a baseline of 35k damage neutral with her NP. That may seem very high, but that is factoring in her free NP5 - relative to other Welfare Servants this much damage is good, but not exceptionally high. What’s more important is how much she can do in actual farming setups.

Having double Koyanskaya at her side and an Oberon in the backline using a 50% NP gauge CE and level 10 Mana Loading (the minimum for a Servant with her level of gauge charge to loop), her NP will inflict 83k damage neutral wave 1, 86k on wave 2, and 318k damage on wave 3 with the huge Oberon damage spike and her second round of damage buffs coming off cooldown. It’s a shame I can’t see a way to run her with Black Grail, since her damage potential would get really insane at that stage.

Regardless, that damage output isn’t typically enough to manage universal farming unless you start investing grails and 2k Attack Fou’s into her, but that’s not the worst idea given how effectively Avengers pay back for offensive boosts from their 1.1x Attack multiplier.
