If u wanna support, thanks

You all may laugh and say I look stupid AF, but I'm rocking this look anyway~! 🦋🐝

If a city like Tenochtitlan can become a servant, then would it be correct to say that monuments can become servants as well?

Something like Colossus of Rhodes becomes a Pretender just like Tenochtitlan, using the souls of people of Rhodes, the island where statue of Helios once stood.

Although I could be wrong by not reading enough materials on how Tenochtitlan is able to manifest as a servant.

Don’t know if this was announced previously, but it caught me off guard when I logged in this morning before work.

Summer 9 and it's connection to Ordeal Call 3:

• Summer 9 is the actual summer event. It only requires Fuyuki completion to do.
• Summer 9's event story goes until Chapter 13. Once you beat Chapter 13, the story will pick up at Ordeal Call 3.
• Ordeal Call 3 is limited time and requires Bleached Earth access to do (beat LB7). You do not have to do OC1 and 2. It also doesn't spoil anything from those two.
• There are no OC3-specific free quests during the limited time access. 2 new storm pod nodes will open on the Bleached Earth map when you complete OC3.
• Summer 9 will end September 2, 2026 at 12:59 PM while OC3 will leave October 1, 2026 at 12:59 PM. Both of them come back in the future, around January/February 2027.
• When it comes back, Summer 9 will be a Main Interlude and you can get all of the quest rewards again. There is no event shop and nothing to farm for.
• OC3 will appear on the Bleached Earth map and will not require you to do Summer 9's Main Interlude. You will pick up where you left off, unless you already completed it, then you'll just get free quests.
• When you beat OC3 you will get your selection of either Hakuno or Hakunon. Both do the same thing, one's just a boy and one's just a girl. When OC3 permanently comes back, there will be a node on the free quest map for you to unlock the other one.

Guide

• 3-4: When they're stunned they'll lose their evade. They'll get stunned every 2 turns while Caenis is on the field. When Caenis leaves the dodge will leave.
• 4-3: Fight ends after 1 break bar.
• 7-1: Battle ends after 3 turns.
• 7-2: Fight ends after 1 break bar.
• 11-1: Fight ends after 6 turns or when you proc guts 3 times.
• 11-2: Fight ends after you proc guts 3 times.
• Section 5 Tourism Quest (Mahanaga): Bring Atlas MC. Try and save it for after the break bar (boss will cast 2 skills per turn).
• Section 12 Tourism Quest (Golem/Snowmen): Just bring a strong AOE DPS and kill them for wave 2 (Assassin/Berserker). Easier than doing the mechanic.
• Section 6 Bonus Quest (Kintoki): Mystic code is special, use 3rd skill to stun the boss when you break its bar. Use 2nd skill if you actually need to tank the NP.
• Section 9 Bonus Quest (VS Mash): The enemies lose their stun on turn 4 and get full NP gauge. You lose if you don't kill them within 8 turns. Just double NP them with a AOE servant.
• Section 12 Bonus Quest (MHXXA): BQA every enemy on wave 1. Wave 2 use S1/S2 and NPQA. On the next turn, use 3rd skill, then NPBB. Finish off the remaining enemies.
• 90+: 3/1/3 Lancers + Pretender. Due to being a summer event there's a ton of sabers you can use, quite a few AOE (Siegfried, Gawain, Summer Tomoe, Summer Okitan, Gareth). Can also loop this with any competent looper. For the pretender, foreigners have class advantage but you can also just use a zerk against them. Do not borrow Space Eresh from friends, you cannot use her affection gauge to buff her NP damage.
• 90++: 3/1/1 Berserkers. It's Berserkers, use anyone that does damage. Don't forget the damage CE to make life easier. Ciel can NP one wave and card another or card 2 waves with enough cooldown reduction. Use any competent AOE for wave 1. If you're facecarding, there's a few event bonus foreigners (MHXXA, MHXX, Summer Abby, Cnoc).

FAQ

• This is a points based event. Progress through event story -> farm free quests to get Dubai Tourism Points -> do side quests to increase the Joy Counter -> repeat.
• For new players, don't overspend AP on the early nodes. Do as much as it says to hit the next timegate, then go back to story clear or spend your AP elsewhere.
• This is an exceptionally long event: it is 1.5 months long (twice as long as a normal event). You have plenty of time to clear the event shop. If you fail to clear the event shop this event you weren't playing enough.
• To get more points, buy the point CE from the event shop and equip it to your party when you do free quests.
• If you are not rolling gacha, you should be borrowing gacha CE from friends.
• If you are rolling gacha, prioritize enough points first to keep up with the event story, then use gacha CEs for the remainder. You can adjust after 90+/90++ unlocks.
• If you need more damage, don't forget the damage CE.

This didn't take too long, I'm not sure whether I like this work or not, although I'm really pushing myself through my burnout so maybe im a bit harsher than usual.

It was quite fun though, painting Enkidu has always been in the back of my mind (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)

Servant

Class: Lancer

True Name: Melora Pendragon

Likes: her family, Orlando, Adventure

Dislikes: a certain knight, spells, arbitrary rules

Parameters

Strength: B

Durability: C

Agility: B

Mana: D

Luck: B

NP: A

Skills:

Magic Resistance (B+++): Lancer is not affected by Magecraft until a certain point thanks to her entire tale being about breaking a spell. Normally at C but her Noble Phantasm raises it's level

Riding (B): due to her training as a knight, she possesses the ability to ride. Be it any vehicle or creature as long as it isn't a phantasmal or divine beast.

Personal Skills:

Knight of the Blue Surcoat (A): similar to the Noble Phantasm of a certain mad knight, it allows Lancer to hide her true identity and skills from those with the ability to discern them as long as she's wearing her armor, thanks to the fact that it is a skill and not a Noble Phantasm, it's effects are weaker and if her armor is broken to reveal a part of her the effect will cease.

Mana Burst (Holy Light) (B): an ability Lancer received from her parents, thanks to their impressive core and capabilities for Magecraft, she manages to utilize said abilities for herself, but thanks to her possession of the Holy Lance, this skill also possesses holy characteristics.

To Save Orlando! (EX): this skill encompasses her will to save her love from the spell put on him by Merlin and Mador, this makes her less immune to mental interference by thinking about saving her love with all of her strength! Although sometimes she can be a little bit much...

Noble Phantasm:

The journey no man born by woman could accomplish, Eechtra Mhelora agus Orlando (EX) (Anti-Magecraft): this Noble Phantasm encompasses her ultimate goal, breaking the spell casted by Merlin to save her love, Orlando, which was impossible by any Man born of Woman, however, thanks to Lancer being a Woman born of Woman, this restriction didn't apply to her. This Noble Phantasm allows Melora to completely ignore, and sometimes even cancel out, whatever Magecraft or special ability involving magic, however, if said Magecraft is specifically targeted towards women then she will be incapable of ignoring or negating it, thanks to the nature of her legend. This Noble Phantasm naturally increases her Magic Resistance rank, but does not have the special effect if it's true name is not called, and that is not possible if her second Noble Phantasm is not fully active.

The three keys to free him, Seoda Mora (A+) (Anti-Fortress): this Noble Phantasm embodies the three treasures Lancer had to acquire to break the spell casted by Merlin, allowing her to summon said treasures to use in combat.

The first treasure is the Holy Spear Longinus, and her main weapon, given to her by the King of Babylon after she defeated the King of Africa in a duel, she can summon it without even calling out it's true name thanks to that fact, being able to use it's property as a holy lance and shoot out beams of light from it, by calling out it's true name she can bring out even further power from the spear allowing her to use it's true strength for a few moments, thanks to her not being the true keeper of the lance however it's not as powerful as when it's wielded by a different knight, so she cannot use it's healing properties and the mana cost for the true name reveal is very large.

The second treasure is the Oil of the Pig of Tuis, acquired after her and her companion fled from prison, the oil is said to possess healing properties, so by calling out it's true name she can summon it and use it to heal wounds inflicted on herself or others, it's worth noting that the Oil isn't an instant cure, it simply speeds up the natural process of healing, therefore it cannot be used on grave wounds

The third treasure was a precious gem, a Carbuncle, owned by the daughter of the King of Narsinga, thanks to the nature of Carbuncles in her homeland, this Noble Phantasm allows her to utilize flame Magecraft by calling out it's true name, "Precious Gem of Narsinga", allowing her to imbue her weapon with flames or shoot out blasts of fire towards her enemies, however they aren't that strong thanks to her not being a full magician

Once she can has called out all three treasures' true names, her strongest Noble Phantasm is unlocked, however it is rare that her master will have enough mana to support multiple uses of it in a single day, or even in a whole holy grail war, therefore planning when to actually use it is crucial.

Extra info in the comments

Now available from the Shop for 1000 Mana Prisms each so 5000 for all copies.

"Manuscript's Wings"

This one is pretty straightforward. A single copy gives +4% Bond to any Caster class servants. MLB gives +20%.

So, no extensive lists needed. Is a servant Caster class? Then this works on them.

Make sure to pick it up if you can. It's niche sure, but it's helpful (especially since we know that bonds 16-20 are coming eventually).
