Let's Play Battle Moon Wars


<< | ^^ | >>




Lancer is good.

No, really, REALLY good. He might be the best Servant in the game. I'll be using him whenever he's available.

Today's upgrades: +310 HP and +4 Quick for Ciel, +100 weapon power for Shiki; +28 EN, +13 Quick, +100 weapon power, and SP Regen for Lancer. Onward!



Chatting about Rider's Noble Phantasm! Or one of them, at least.



Our plan is to sort of lurk nearby until something happens.



At school that day!

Shiki, Akiha and Ciel are investigating things from the inside, to no avail.



But their investigations are interrupted by the spell's activation!



In addition to the life drain, there's also a powerful barrier surrounding the school!

This probably means there's a second powerful magus helping Rider.



All we can do out here is count on the people who were already inside...



Chapter 17: Blood Fort Andromeda




Sheesh, then why'd we get here so early? Seriously, I can't believe my partner is...


What was that?


Nothing.




Yo.


I knew that Rider would be coming here, so we've been quietly waiting for her.


Yup, that's it.


Alright, here we go! There's the presence that I recognize!


We need to work fast. If we don't hurry, the entire school will be consumed.


To stop it, we just need to crush the main pillar.


Yes, that's what we were told. It becomes impossible to maintain when the caster is near death.


Right, then, let's do it!





We're operating under a time limit!



Prep time, then we'd better get cracking!



Lancer is our pointman for this map! Between his low Sprit costs and his SP Regen, he can use Focus indefinitely without running out of SP, making him nigh untouchable.



But he is far from alone! All five of these characters are pretty good, really.





I'm usually cautious about Caren getting into the nitty gritty of battles, but since Getter-2's can't actually attack from more than one space away, this is pretty safe!



Since we're on a tight schedule, everyone moves forward as far as they can every turn. Go go go!



Akiha would be totally useless here if she didn't have Hit & Away!



It's kind of a shame that this fight never happened on-screen in Fate/Stay Night. It has a lot of badass potential.



Down goes the last mook! Now to finish off Rider.





As our only person with Valor right now, Akiha is the team's heavy striker!

Almost done...







And battle over.




Yo. We've got her cornered, too.


Tch, this place is lost. Come, Rider!!


What now!?


She was commanded. Looks like she was called away against her will.


There's no helping that. Let's check around the area and see how much damage there was.



MAP CLEAR
Battle Mastery achieved!



Andromeda was stopped! The school is safe, for now.



But this isn't over yet. SHIKI is still at large, and has a lot to answer for.

To be continued!

Lancer is damn good. Also, I too wish that F/SN's visual novel had shown every fight that occurred. Assassin and Lancer both fought every Servant (minus Caster for Assassin), which would have been amazing to see.

General consensus is Caster reinforced his body and sword much like she did for Kuzuki, and covered him with that rain of magic. It wouldn't kill Berserker, but it would strain Ilya's Magic Circuit until he got bored and left.

Probably something like a guy on foot fighting an Angel in SRW Alpha.
