[Chaldea U-Summer Island] Saito Hajime Strengthening

[u/Radiant-Hope-469]

[u/Radiant-Hope-469]

Invincible Sword A -> A+:

• Cooldown: 7/6/5
• Increase ATK [20%-30%] (3 times, 3 turns -> 3 turns)
• & apply Special Attack [Chaotic] [20%-30%] (3 turns)
• & increase Critical Strength [50%-100%] (3 times, 3 turns)
• & increase NP Gauge [20%] for yourself

[u/Verne_Dead → u/Radiant-Hope-469]

THANK THE LORD that 3 times 3 turns nonsense is gone. Well, partially gone. But 100% Crit damage being 3 times 3 turns makes a lot more sense than a mere 30% atk up having the same restriction

[u/Illuminastrid → u/Radiant-Hope-469]

30% ATK Up for 3 turns flat, 30% Special Attack vs Chaotic for 3 turns and a 20% battery. Makes him more consistent in dealing damage without exhausting all his power in a single turn, the 3 times for Critical Strength Up is understandable still tho, its still 100% on a 5 turn cooldown. And lastly, a battery for clutch refunds, since there are times that he is just a small gauge away from refilling even with Double Castoria or with plug supports.

In other news, how do we feel now Sigurd, they buffed a 3 times skill for a crit-based ST Saber.... Christ, how long is his E luck going to last.

[u/Verne_Dead → u/Illuminastrid]

Don't worry, when FGO collabs with Lost:Einherjar will finally get another Sigurd buff. Crystalized Wisdom will also be 3 times 3 turns 😊

[u/Illuminastrid → u/Verne_Dead]

Wouldn't 3 times, 3 turns actually be worse especially for the critical star drop rate generation part? That means he won't generate stars on Extra Attack, whereas in 1 turn, the Extra Attack gets included in the generation.

[u/Verne_Dead → u/Illuminastrid]

Yes that is infact the joke I was making, that Sigurds last buff was so bad his next buff would be an actual downgrade and add a third instance of 3 times 3 turns despite how atrocious that is with the other two skills already

[u/flashmozzg → u/Verne_Dead]

Yeah, last event before EoS xD

[u/Josh_11_XI → u/Illuminastrid]

Found dead in the ditch lmfao. Only solace the guy has is having a date with Bryn in the TVCM.

[u/Zer0chinchin → u/Radiant-Hope-469]

This is a very solid buff, I can finally use his 3rd skill and not just holding it off till' the final hit

[u/Prestigious_Split579 → u/Radiant-Hope-469]

Good lord that is fucking strong.

[u/Tiamore97 → u/Radiant-Hope-469]

I was literally thinking yesterday that he needs a NP gain effect in his kit.

[u/Gudako_the_beast → u/Radiant-Hope-469]

He’s getting motivated.

[u/ce-meyers]

He really is the storm that is approaching.

[u/Guilty-Effort7727 → u/ce-meyers]

Provoking

[u/Key_Swimming_8134 → u/Guilty-Effort7727]

Dark cloudian even

[u/Euphoric_Field_8558]

Now, I feel like reclaiming my name and burying the light deep within.

[u/meme_kratos → u/Euphoric_Field_8558]

Cast aside cuz there's no going home now

[u/Euphoric_Field_8558 → u/meme_kratos]

We're gonna burn some chaos in the wind, while drifting in the ocean all alone.

[u/jebar193 → u/Euphoric_Field_8558]

A storm is approaching...

[u/Euphoric_Field_8558 → u/jebar193]

It's provoking...

[u/ElectroVJ]

MY HAJIME IN NA WILL REJOICE IN 2 YEARS

[u/Aeon37]

Imagine buffing Saito, who's already a monster, and not someone like Summer Gareth, during summer.

[u/rammux74 → u/Aeon37]

Its because he is getting a new skin

[u/Xlegace → u/rammux74]

I think it's tradition for someone who is getting a skin to also get a buff (I recall Sigurd getting one during summer too), but I think their point is they should really use summer as an excuse to give buffs to obviously bad past summer servants too.

[u/Illuminastrid → u/Aeon37]

Knowing how Lasengle works, they buff a featured Servant that coincide with the event to celebrate their inclusion, quality of the gameplay-wise be damned.

Or if they feel like it, buff a bad or mediocre Servant that absolutely needed it, but they have to be featured at an event.

[u/WestCol → u/Aeon37]

Agreed, but if they're going to buff Gareth it will be if/when she gets a rerun this event.

And no way were they going to buff Tez or Caster Cu instead.

[u/Charming-Ostrich7130 → u/Aeon37]

I think if we see a (I hope!) buff to Summer Gareth, it will be during her banner. That’s how they’re generally doing it these days outside of welfares and strengthening campaigns.

[u/Aeon37 → u/Charming-Ostrich7130]

She was featured in a special banner some months ago alongside Lady Avalon for a campaign, everyone expected a buff for this occasion, she got nothing. Honestly, Lasagna buffs are just like throwing a dice.

[u/Charming-Ostrich7130 → u/Aeon37]

Totally, but what I mean is that expecting a buff for a servant like her outside of a banner is… pretty much not going to happen from what I saw.

Don’t get me wrong: she definitely needs one. She needed one the day she came out.

[u/WestCol → u/Aeon37]

2-san said buffs have to be approved by TM and he's had buffs and animation updates knocked back because it wasn't the right time.

[u/Yuufa]

I cannot wait for Hajime-chan to become even stronger. One day, I will NP5 you and get enough copies to bring you to LVL 120, too.

[u/Draksdiers12]

Sometimes I wonder how FGO decide when to buff a servant. I still salty they didn't gave any buffs on Indra Event.

[u/Zyx-Wvu]

I AM THE SUMMER THAT IS APPROACHING!

[u/Gudako_the_beast → u/Zyx-Wvu]

Provoking! White clouds of collaboration.

[u/za_shiki-warashi]

YUE NI WAGA KEN WA MUTEKI

[u/Quiet_Description_70]

Wow look at the buff for my np1 Hajime.

[u/EP_Em2]

I was torn between which of my lv100 NP5 Arts SR Sabers to Grand, and Grand Lancelot won out just barely because his existence trolls Galahad. (And because that makes him Grand Dad.) Now I'm not so sure...

[u/thewinner358 → u/EP_Em2]

He has a star bomb though? In his first skill he gives 20 stars

[u/EP_Em2 → u/thewinner358]

Brain fart.

[u/Soulkyoko]

Dorito man with a buff in this economy?He needed one?! Whatever!

ILL TAKE IT!!

[u/Daerus]

Great buff for second-best husbando!

[u/Key_Swimming_8134]

Mine is an NP3 copy. That I used a lot with out knowing how broken he was for months. Now...now this is almost too much. Key word been almost 😈
