| End of Week 4. God that battle against Lancer was intense. - Spoiler:
Ran out of mana spamming Bestial Sky'd spells in the 1st half of the fight, so I just kept on the defensive in the 2nd half and only struck when I knew his next moves. Also casted Defense Increase on Caster to make Lancer's pokes and stabs hurt less. Ignore the poison Li'l Ronnie inflicts you; it only does 32 damage. What you'll want to watch out for are Lancer's nuke(Ceremonial Purge, which do 300+ guarded damage) and his Noble Phantasm(Kazilkli Bey, which causes ~500 guarded damage + Sacrifice, which is basically 300+ poison damage for 1-2 turns, I forget).
Somehow, Lancer becomes much easier to deal with once of you figure that: -Rebellious Intent(the self-buff he always starts the battle with) increases the damage he deals in a successful Guard. -One of his turn patterns has him Guarding 6 times.
If said pattern comes up, Charm-Spirit Theft + Break spam all the way~ Just watch it when Li'l Ronnie seals your Break, but other than that, just Guard unless you know Lancer's next moves. Despite his tendency to Break every now and then, it's better than getting stabbed for 500+ damage just because he blocked. Of course, there's also Caster's Anti-Guard spell~

I didn't have much trouble with him, though that's because I super power leveled for that week =P I'm towards the end of Week 5 now, and 4 levels over the suggested level. I refuse to fight assassin tho till I give myself two more levels on the last day. I normally hate level grinding in any game (I'm usually 1/2 the suggested level in most rpgs), but random rps style rpg with a mage as your front line... I really don't have a choice @_@ Also, yes, I've found def boosting caster at the start of the battle to be invaluable for so many of the battles against physical hitting servants ^_^ | |

| Week 5 Day 3.
God, I'm so peeved right now. My attempts to grind end with Caster getting killed by a slap. Guess I really should go all out with her spells, but I want to conserve her MP so I won't have to spend so much of my MP recovering her MP.
Doesn't help that I have to go through the Assassin's Poke of Doom challenge every damn time I reload the save. | |

- No idea what you guys are talking about.
Essentially, the PSP Vita dosn't have the ability to play UMD discs (what the psp games are on). Both the PSP Vita and PSP have access to an online shopping network called the PSN (Play Station Network). You can't play the physical game, Fate/Extra, in a PSP Vita, but it's available as a downloadable game on the PSN for the Vita, from what I've heard. So, either way you could play it I think ^_^ It just depends if you want anything else for the Vita. For me, the PSP is generally cheaper (and will prolly only go down when the Vita comes out), and there's a lot of games not on the PSN network I've been wanting =P Kirika there is an UMD Redemption program for the Vita, then again it is quite a bit of a hassle just to register your copy and re dl it | |

The first 3 days are essentially a bust =/ If it helps, one of Caster's moves recovers 10% of her MP after each battle. - Retrias wrote:

I was unawares. Idk a whole lot about the Vita, I just heard that it wasn't backwards compatible, unless the UMD game had a PSN equivalent, so I just bought a psp slim =P | |

That's why I'm conserving MP. Since I know if I went all out, I'll use up more than 10%. And right now, I'm so pissed at those Necrophobias for slapping so hard and for Guarding every time I think they're going to Break and for Breaking every time I think they're going to Attack. EDIT: Also, weee B endurance on Caster~ | |

I think my stats are now sitting at: At: C Def: D Agi: D Mag: A Luck: D And I'm lv. 32ish? Don't think I'm getting her E-matrix tho T.T In Week 6, Day 2. | |

Don't think I'm getting her E-matrix tho T.T In Week 6, Day 2. I'm betting that Assassin's an Attack spammer, since Julius can seal your Guard. Also, despite having B Endurance, Assassin can still kill me in 2 strikes. Really hate his Chi buffs. At this point, I'm thinking of bringing in that Exorcist Blade in the final battle with Assassin so I can stun him whenever he buffs himself. | |

| Nova, this may help too.
Assassin ALWAYS buffs himself for the first turn of the round set. Then, idk if this is 100%, but he does his no second strike every 4 rounds, always in the second attack.
1-Buff, then No Second Strike 5-Buff, then No Second Strike 9-Buff, then No Second Strike,
And so on.
If you use Caster's defense spell on the second strike of each of those rounds, it makes this battle infinitely easier. | |

| Just beat Assassin.
Yeah, he does No Second Strike on his 1st turn as his 2nd move. Took another way to deal with it though.
1st try: buffs Caster's Endurance, gets No Second Strike'd, gets killed in move 3 because we both attacked.
2nd try: brought along Exorcist Blade instead of the defense buff wear, stuns Assassin on 1st move, No Second Strike doesn't come out, Caster proceeds to rape him. Seriously, I took no hits whatsoever because I either stun him whenever he tries to do Focused Chi or Caster stuns him with a Bestial Sky'd spell right after he does Focused Chi. | |

| Somewhere in Week 6 now. Got up to Caster's 3rd matrix, and the scene with the scene where she declares me her husband, but idk if I'll get E.
Also, week 6 has a much easier start, lots of level up potential. | |

Lol, I agree that I wouldn't mind some Caster action =P Though, at the same time, I love that Typemoon is making effort to break into more public friendly gaming. - NovaZero wrote:

Week 7 Day 3. You'll know when she tells you her story. No choice picking or anything. Yeah, I did follow an FAQ. I chose the ff. as my answers during the important bits(note that my main is a girl. Yes, even that's kinda important for the Matrix E): - Spoiler:

Well, thanks for this. I'm in Week 7 Day 2 now (been dragging my feet, since I've had all this 'adult' stuff to take care of). I didn't follow a guide, since this is my first play through and that's just how I roll =P I'm betting I won't get it tho T.T | |

| Omg! Just got to Day 3 of week 7, and I totally got Caster's E! There MUST be a hidden affection point mechanic, since I know I didn't choose all of the options in those trees of the guide.
In either event, I personally never pass up opportunity to level with Caster. However, I'd obviously just say to save on a separate file and try to take Saber. Worst case scenario, you'd just have to jump back to the previous save and power up your last few days =P
42 is 7 levels over the recommended, so I'd certainly hope you'd be fine @_@ | |

Grats, Kirika~ Yeah, the points that determine whether you get Caster's Matrix E is iffy. I think you can still do stuff like say that Caster's ears are cute and still get the E. I heard she even mentions them in the end. Not really sure. - Quote :

42 is 7 levels over the recommended, so I'd certainly hope you'd be fine @_@ That's why I overleveled. Hell, I was overleveled against the fight with Berserker and he could still kill Caster in 2-3 hits; his Noble Phantasm could outright kill me in one shot and is still as dangerous when I Guard it. In any case, I just decided to skip straight to the battle since there's no point in trying to get Caster's Magic to EX unless I spent hours grinding; it's already A++ right now. And I kinda want to start Saber's route already, despite how freaking easy it'll be since I did so much grinding that I practically know most of my enemies' patterns. EDIT: Fighting Saber now. Currently taking a break, as I still haven't beaten him yet due to losing again and I needed to charge my PSP up. He's not as bad as Berserker but you should still be careful. - Spoiler:
Watch out for his Noble Phantasm. When the warning comes up, expect it on his 6th move. It lives up to its name too, as it will kill you in one shot unless you Aphotic Cave.
EDIT2: Finally beat Saber. Again, he's really not that bad, compared to Berserker, but he's still a threat. - Spoiler:
As it turns out, it's not yet over. There a few things left to do before you go get the Holy Grail. Talking to Kotomine will let you grind in the arena for as long as you want; you can leave the arena and go at it again anytime you wish. The Arena is merely a giant field, containing Fortresses, Nephilim Deltas and those giant mobs whose names I forgot that slap you silly. (Also, if you arrive here again in your 2nd playthrough the game, there's someone waiting for you at the exit). The Chapel and the Commissary are of course still accessible, and Sakura has one final lunch left to give you. Rin(or Rani, I guess) will wait for you in front of the Supply room; talking to them leads to the Holy Grail.

| Beat the game, now doing New Game Plus with Saber. I can already see how piss easy this playthrough'll be. =x - Spoiler:
Savior is disappointing, somewhat. His patterns are simple, but to make up for it, he hits hard, has a counter-skill that hits even harder and he likes to buff himself a lot(attack drains HP, guard drains MP, break causes stun). Twice also seals your Servant's Skills for one turn, so be wary of that. Oh and there's a time limit: he has 7 mirrors behind him. Every 2 turns, a bell tolls and one of the mirrors lights up. If all 7 mirrors are lit, Savior's Noble Phantasm activates and you instantly lose. You shouldn't worry about that, though, since I had him beat in 8 turns.

| Dragging my feet since I've been so busy. Up to the fight with Saber now, at level 41 I think (got really lazy with the leveling, everything was only giving 2-300 xp, what's up with that?)? Nearly had him a few times, but a mix of sleep deprivation and bad luck had me KO'd in an unlucky round eventually. Also, I just remembered to read your advice in the previous post about his NP in the sixth move @_@
I'll try again after I finish some of my grading and such, and after I sleep for some amount of time =P | |

Once his NP is usable, he can spam it, even mixing it up with his Attack Skill every now and then(caught me by surprise a few times), but the NP will always be used on Move 6 and his Attack Skill on Move 3. | |
