The finale opens the path for a new, long awaited servant

Long story short, Lord Logres but Cu. Let me explain

So now that the finale, and therefore singularity F is complete, Caster Cu is officially put to rest. It has been stated multiple times, in story and interludes, that Lancer Cu is not at full power because something else(Caster Cu) is draining it. Now that is over, and finally Cu can come back full force in his 5 star *irish heracles* glory.

Now lets make a fan kit for him:

If an *ultimate form* of Cu is to be released, similar to Artoria's Lord Logres, i propese that it similarly be a Grand. Grand Berserker. If Hearcles couldnt be Grand Zerk, let his irish version fullfill that. For those not in the known, in folklore Cu can turn into basically the Hulk, which i believe inspires his Alter form.

A fusion of all 3 of his forms(and setanta?) able to weild the sword, spear and runes at full power(maybe with a little leftover blessing from odin as well) he does not fit just Lancer, or just Caster, therefore a more general class like Berserker(like how in the Grand duel, Heracles has Saber and Archer capabilities) would be better.

His lore and noscript would be *The hound of shadows", or however it would be spelled in irish. A version of Cu at full power that can actually kill Shisou and now guard the Land of Shadows in her stead(and as his name means hound, he would be a sort of cerberus now that i think abt it). I would like his ascension and personality to be like arjuna alter, like at the start he is a barely contained monster, but with each ascension he becomes more human and more sane.

For his kit(again, looking at the OP mess that is Logress) as he managed to kill an immortal, and to finally put the instakill spear of his to its proper use, he should have anti - castoria invul, and per his own lore, a bunch of Guts. Maybe a tonelico effect where he gets more atk the less hp he has, and his np drains his own hp as demerit, while triggering guts would buff him like kirei. Lets add 2 forms, a single target and AoE np on him as well for good measure. He gains stacking guts for each enemy hit.

You know what, slap on him being able to switch np type between quick and buster while at it, just to open some summer skadi comps. For that he could probably use a double buster double quick deck. *BLEEEP IT* give him the olga marie and ciel skills. Let him have all his cards when he wants. Slap some color and/or crit buffs somewhere in his kit and voila.

Edit: Let me give you a better one. once he switches between quick and buster, all his color buffs get changed as well. so the summer skadi buffs could all turn into buster, or all turn into quick. Heck. use Koyanskaya and oberon as quick buffers

With Part 2 (Cosmos in the Lostbelt) now finished... What's your overall opinion of Part 2 (highlighting its Strengths, Weaknesses and whether it met your Expectations)?

Okay. First of all... Happy New Year... a little late! Starting this 2026, we saw something that seemed like it wasn't going to happen: Part 2 (Cosmos in the Lostbelt) ended.

We've seen it all in Part 2, from traveling to several different Worlds and facing numerous Trials to test our patience, to a return to the beginning of it all. I think it's time to ask the question:

How good was Part 2, actually?

I believe opinions vary depending on several factors. These factors include the following:

- The Lostbelts

- The Ordeal Calls

- The Plot

- The Characters

- The Character Development

- The Closure of Certain Storylines

So... What's your overall opinion of Part 2 (highlighting its Strengths, Weaknesses and whether it met your Expectations)?

Getting 30 Golden Apples by Doing Absolutely Nothing

You may have seen that, as part of this New Year's campaign, the main quests for Paper Moon where set at 0 AP. This will be a trend that will repeat for each of the incoming Ordeal Calls, and the following is a guide on how to approach each one of those in order to save as much AP as possible. Consequently, I will have to spoil their names, release dates, and some campaigns 1-2 years ahead of time. One last note: since golden apples are not a fixed amount of AP, I will assume you have an AP bar of 150 for the calculations.


This guide will be separated in two parts: the main quests, and the free quests. Before we begin, a couple considerations:


\- For main quests, there usually are missions involving progress before the 0 AP campaigns hit, and many times those involve SQ as rewards, so take the following numbers with a grain of salt.


\- Both main and free quests yield SQ upon completion, with the later progressing permanent missions that, just like it happens with interludes and rank up quests, amount to even more SQ. Before considering whether you should save or not, consider whether you can afford posposing quartz aquisition, and if it’s better for you to compromise on a ½ AP campaign (if there is).



# Id main quests

There is absolutely NO excuse to not delay Id. The chapter released on 20th March 2024, and only 9 days later, the Spring New Master Aid Campaign puts the main quests at 0 AP. Delaying it that little amount of time means saving on 1098 AP, or a bit more than 7 golden apples.



# Archetype Inception main quests

Archetype released on August 28th 2024, meaning we can expect it around July of this year. This one is a bit trickier, because there are quests on release that yield a good amount of quartz; even then, doing the bare minimum to complete them should leave a good amount of AP to be saved. To be fair, Archetype is broken in parts, and I'm not sure how exactly the event works, so my advice here is a bit unreliable. Ponkotsu gomen nee.

In any case, the 0 AP campaign comes on March 2027, and though the wait is long, none of the events before that date require Archetype to have been cleared to participate; in fact, it's the event that happens later on March that does, hence the campaign being held.

The potential total to be saved here is of 1003 AP, or 6 golden apples and a half, but again, probably less, because SQ > AP.



# Trinity Metatronius main quests

Trinity released the 30th April 2025, and unfortunately for all Masters, they have 18 SQ for chapter completion, meaning there's no reason to not complete it on the spot. There's a "Start Dash Campaign" for the release, and even though the fandom wiki article is empty, I've seen footage implying that there's 1/2 AP on release, meaning it's even more incentivized to play as it comes out; otherwise, wait until around June 2027 for the 0 AP campaign.



# Free quests and others

Lastly, we have the big one, the free quests. Unfortunately, completing those for 0 AP will have to wait until October 2027, but if you are patient, you have:

\- Paper Moon: 702 AP

\- Id: 768 AP

\- Archetype: 960 AP

\- Trinity: 834 AP

And then additionally:

\- Celeb Main Interlude: 155 AP

\- Interludes for every servant in the game + rank up quests for owned servants (this also depends, but a rough estimate is more than 5k AP. Won't include it in the calcs, but seriously, there's so much AP to be saved here, especially for non-veterans)

Meaning that just from holding back on the free quests, you can save 3419 AP, or almost 23 golden apples, with no significant drawback.

With that being said, I hope this guide will help you optimize your blue apples for the grand battles that await us in the future. Godspeed, fellow bond farmers.

Are there any NP animations that you love so much that you keep them Normal speed as opposed to x2 speed?

I know we play essentially a farming game where people care about clear speed most of the time, but are there any animations where you’re just like “Yeah I have to see this in its full glory”? I actually have quite a few and was wondering if there were any others out there. Even if you don’t, I’m curious what everyone’s favorites are in general! The ones that I love and keep at x1 are as follows





1. Prototype Arthur.
His NP actually is what dragged me into the game. I remember I was just watching Nero videos on YouTube years ago, came across a video “Fate Grand Order Noble Phantasms” in which Nero was included, and his was SO cool to me and still is to this day. Not even the animation itself, but the chant and concept of the round table voting on releasing the seals. I don’t know why but it gives me chills to this day.



2. Our new Saber on JP server. Self explanatory. Absolutely glorious. Probably the coolest NP animation to date imo. Peak aura farming.


3. Ushi Gozen (Raikou).
Have always loved Raikou, and her voice and the animation are both just cool.



4. Indra.
They put in some work on his NP. Pako cooked as usual. The little hand thing he does in the beginning and the flash of his face at the end speaks to my chuni heart. Probably my second favorite NP to watch in the game behind our brand new New Years Saber.



5. Ruler Kagetora.
I remember being at work when her animations dropped and I had to go take a ‘bathroom break’ and pull immediately because wow it is such a cool NP.




Arcueid, Berserktoria, Ono no Komachi, Lilith, Rider Kriemhild and Golden BB are another few I also keep at x1 out of love for their animation!
To be completely honest, the former 3 because they’re just majestic and I can’t help but think“Wow this is beautiful”. The latter 3 because they hot.

Roland is still underrated

I'm not gonna expand on Durandal's uses by EMIYA, Gilgamesh, Hektor and Mandricardo. Now that we got the game ending (Lostbelt 0 events undone) and Traum explained, I can say he was quite slept on:



\+ Turns out Traum really was a 3-party Holy Grail war between David (the Chaldean that got turned into guts and blood vessels in the end), Subject E (aka Olga Marie's last remaining nerve cord/Magical Circuit, her right before or already in the process of becoming Maris-CHALDEAS as her very last call for help) and Alaya or Gaia (because of PHH servants, probably trying to prevent the birth of Maris-CHALDEAS), making the Revenge, Restoration and Righteous/Via Regia parties, respectively.

\+ Up until his very last moment, Roland was literally attributed as invincible / tough as a diamond, which means no one was actually able to kill him, only delay or restrain him in best scenario for the Revenge and Restoration servants.

\+ Apparently hard to one-shot as a sparring Boss Battle despite his much lower health bar.



\+ The Revenge party's Gate of Retribution was specifically designed to prevent the likes of Roland, Charlemagne and Siegfried from entering, having already the capacity to withstand multiple A-rank Anti-Army NPs (aka, several hits from Artoria's normal Excalibur) ON TOP OF HAVING MULTIPLE CONCEPTUAL SPELLS. AND EVEN THEN, ZHIANG JIAO (David's main servant) INSTRUCTED HIS CASTERS TO STACK ALL THEIR SPELLS ATOP EACH OTHER. And even then, he was still worried the gate would open at Roland's presence.

\+ So, Roland offered his invincibility and his life in hopes for a miracle that wasn't fulfilled yet. At such sight, Charlemagne himself considered using both his own and Siegfried's NP AND YET HE WAS STILL VERY DOUBTFUL IT'D EVEN WORK.



\+ Only after he offered all the memories he made at Traum AND THE MEMORIES THAT EVERYONE ELSE HAD OF HIM that the Gate of Retribution opened at a presence shouting "Let a miracle be!" (likely Olga Marie herself as Maris-CHALDEAS' core already). Or rather, she turned Roland's last breath into a phenomenon able to open the gate just for enough time for all of Charlemagne's forces to enter at the cost of no one remembering he was even there. A sacrifice akin to the likes of Solomon and Musashi.



So, we're talking about a feat only reserved to the really broken servants at the time: Gilgamesh's Enuma Elish, Rongomyniad, Shiki's Mystic Eyes of Death, etc.

NP Chants that live rent free in your head!

I’d love to hear your favorite NP chants. Whichever ones that just stick with you, even if you can’t explain why. Let me start off with one of mine:

“ ...Evening shroud. Morning lark. The end of a rotten dream. Devour the twilight. Lie Like Vortigern.”

Replacement VAs

A bit of a different topic here but as of 2026, two VAs of the game had since passed away. The first of course would be Atsuko Tanaka, the voice of the OG Caster Medea, Carmilla and Jing Ke who passed away in 2024. The second is Takaya Hashi, voice of Old Man Moriarty who died in 2025.

Now replacing voices is quite hard, especially in Japan where seiyuu are seen as respected artists. That said in the event that another FSN adaptation/spinoff would occur or a future event where Moriarty might become prominent I have some ideas for a recast

For Medea at least, I'm thinking Kotono Mitsuishi (Usagi Tsukino from Sailor Moon, Misato from the Evangelion Franchise, Hancock from One Piece and Aoko Aozaki from early Melty Blood and Carnival Phantasm)

Meanwhile for Moriarty I'm leaning towards Ryuzaburo Otomo (Dabura and Shenron from Dragon Ball Z as well as Crocodile and the second Whitebeard from One Piece)

Any thoughts/suggestions?
