I'd be wary of using her Bond CE. The NP damage buff is only 10% higher than Divine 3-Legged Race's, which doesn't really justify it being locked to 100 attack. By comparison, 3-Legged Race goes between 500 and 2k attack.
@@ocarinadude762 Mostly those are used to help a bit more for the looping, but if you want even more damage without the risk of the buffs expiring yeah you can use those support bond ces to help your dps.
She seems like a rare case in which her first append skill (buffing the extra card) seems a better option over the NP starting charge as she is entirely focused in solo fights.
Extra attack card append is a MUST for every single solo servant, you get a lot more mileage from it than starting charge over the course of a fight, even if early np's are sometimes nice. The starting charge is only useful for pure support servants or DPS's that have horrid np gain and only work on teams tbh.
I love Taira so far. Her animations are on point, her skill set is fun to let her just brawl so wonderfully, her NP does numbers, and she's just cool as all hell. Also those eyes, that smile. Gorgeous.
I got stuck at Zeus because i dont have a good avenger servant. Everything changed when i got Taira. She literally carried me through the rest of olympus and heian kyo. She's wild...
Olympus: Chillin. Taira: ZEUZ! Zeus: OH SH-wait you ain’t Kratos? Taira: I may not be, but I’ma carry my master to Victory. And I’ll collect your heads.
iirc, Kagokiyo's loose definition of "Genji" is "those who prosper". ...which is incredibly difficult to code for, so the damage bonus in game only applies to the Minamoto and their servants/descendants. Zeus, though? "So this big guy has been ruling the world for thousands of years. Look at all this junk he's built." "...Honorary Genji - Minamoto no Zeus. Prepare for death."
Saved 2 years to NP5 her and thankfully hit the goal, she's incredibly fun to use but I hope they fix the bug where her NP theme doesn't play for some reason. Using healing codes wasn't something I was certain about because I figured it would get in the way of properly using guts, but after hearing your thoughts on it I'll probably swap my command codes around to maximise the longevity she can have.
Collected 2300 SQ with intention to np5 her. 2300 sq later she is np2 and I don't even have lmd craft essence that comes in her banner. I envy you, brother, gods of gacha trully smiled upon you

@@glassofgas8631, yes, they do. Remember that Van Gogh can be used as either a DPS or Quick Crit Support. Not to mention that Taira’s Evade also has a Curse effect that Van Gogh can absorb for her NP Battery.
give her a Quick Buff and she'll put Jalter out of job.

The best ce and the most dangerous but satisfying then black grail is the best ce in the game that goes well with her it would he necromancer ce. You can out live evrething if your luck is excellent
at a baseline you can do guts, then evade+atlas cooldown, then atlas invuln, then guts again. if you can predict enemy damage output, you can set the guts in advance so its CD is lowered by the time it pops. guts CEs and the like can buy you additional “free turns” to string together cooldown uses.
Nah. She is a quick card servant that also has a nuke np, which is why double arts - double quick work perfectly with her. It's even better on jp with QAB chain update where there's no real reason to have 2 busters in a deck if you have no buster up on your own in a kit
Herc is the weakest now. It goes like this basically Taira>Cu Alter>Herc Herc is a cheap option for new accounts but there's no point in using him now with Kagekiyo, just get her as a support if you lack your own.
Herc is way better than Cu as a soloer lol, Taira is about the same if not better but Cu cannot compare to these 2. As a reminder, Atlas Herc can manage to suvive at the very least 8 turn without problem. Cu by himself can last 3 to 4 turns.
My FGO never crashed, but it does freeze sometimes. It changes from update to update, with some being normal and working properly. You can try to use the "Clear Cache" button in the login screen. It will reset game's recourses and cause it to redownload them. It might help, might not.
Bond CEs have very bad statlines, so I'd avoid running them on attackers unless you lack a better option. For instance, Kagekiyo's Bond CE is permanently at 100 attack while Traces of Christmases Past goes between 500 and 2000 attack depending on its level.
i kinda regret not saving for her and spend all of my sq on muramasa and spistar, i've used all of my luck on those 2 banner, and rolled both of them. i didn't know she's really good, i thought she cannot tank because she's an avenger and they tend to have low hp
I mean if you like Muramasa and Spishtar you shouldn't feel that bad. Plus they're really good too, Spishtar in particular, being arguably the most useful out of all three
@@Grizzle2894 i need a somewhat decent stall unit and the best i got right now is 3* Cu, since she got similar skillset as Cu it would be great if i have her to replace him
Fino, if Taira had you as her VA I would spare no expense in NP10’ing her. Seriously, were you touched by an angel to get those pipes? Good touch of course, not bad touch. Taira didn’t come for me , so I’ll have to hold off till next time.
"Using Kagekiyo for curse memes is a huge waste". Little does he know, that by using Azamaru’s Mist and having the Chaldea Pathfinder Mystic Code (Which you definitely could use, considering the Quick/NP and Party-Wide Crit steroids), you can get Van Gogh from 0-100% in a single turn, and then cleanse all of Gogh’s curses, assuming you have 3 Servants on the field. Through this, you could, funnily enough, use Kagekiyo as Gong Fodder for a Gogh solo (Because Kagekiyo doesn't have Existence Outside the Domain, it is probably better to have Gogh as the soloing servant, but if you wanna make Kagekiyo do it instead, you totally can, you’d just have to Gong twice because of Gogh’s Guts).
np2 is a good staple for high Np damage, Np1 is fine but it'll take time setting up since you have to proc the Genji skill stack to 4 in order do good to high damage, so np2 is mainly recommended here but np1 could still be viable.
One thing that's been bugging me about Kagekiyo/Yoshitsune..... WAS Yoshitsune female in the Fate universe? Or was she born female like Artoria? Yoshitsune's two main appearences give references to both his wife and his biological son. So, did Kiishi Hogan make Shana-oh male using tengu magecraft? That would explain why Taira appeared when trying to turn a young girl Ushiwakamaru into an adult. Becoming a male and having wife and heir was for Yoritomo. A female Yoshitsune would represent rejection of the Genji.
Personally I kinda regard Fate-verse Yoshitsune's wife and mistress as being her only two female friends, and Benkei as the father of their children (or the wife's, at least). As for everything else... Apparently children were considered genderless until they were seven or eight. Combine that with Ushiwaka's... Entire personality... and it's believable (not historically, but in the bounds of fiction, sure) that she decided, "Okay, need to avenge my dad. That's men's work. Which means I need a capping ceremony, so I can legally be a man." And from there we'll assume that Yoritomo and Co pushed hard for Yoshitsune to be recorded in history as a man - It would be awfully embarrassing for the surviving Taira AND the Kamakura Shogunate to have been put to so much trouble by a weird girl, let alone for her to have at one point had the emperor's favor. So obviously Yoshitsune was really just a pretty man.
@@nihilvox Those are very good observations. Fate Ushiwakamaru was definitely born a female, that's obvious, but yes, Ushiwakamaru had a similar mindset as Artoria, in the quests to be a powerful warrior. Unlike Tomoe Gozen and Qin Liangyu in China, Ushiwakamaru never even considered the implications of being born female. She knew she was female, but it mattered little to her, so she became the legendary Ushiwakamaru, the fabeled Shanna-oh, and the legendary General Yoshitsune. She was born kind of a sword wielding psychopath, having an absolutely incredible body count with the sword and other samurai weapons for just one person. But, by the point of being adult Yoshitsune, it was obvious to her retainers, and her envious brother, that everyone needed to consider her a male. But then when Yoshitsune's mind becomes awake during Hyien-Kyo, she mentions her SON she had with a WOMAN.... ...Chitosemaru. So how did Fate Ushiwakamaru have a son with one of his wives/concubines? Yoshitsune's brother even knew that he existed, because he was on the list of Yoshitsune's family to be targeted. And guess what? In some of the legends, Chitosemaru survived the massacre as he was her (his?) biological son, and there was a retainer that secretly carried him to a far away to monastary to live. That retainer was none other then Hitachibou, FGO's favorite false Benkei. At least in some legends. But yeah, Fate Yoshitsune mentioning having a non-adopted, biological son with a woman, is a mystery.
"Gender is listed as unknown... but i will refer to her as she." If only there was a gender neutral pronoun a person could use... Its super frustrating that we get these cool nonbinary characters and people gender them anyway.
