I Am the Bone of My Sword
Steel is my body, and fire is my blood
I have created over a thousand blades
Unknown to death, nor known to life
Have withstood pain to create many weapons
Yet, those hands will never hold anything.
So, as I pray
Unlimited...Blade Works!
Have withstood pain to create many weapons
I Am the Bone of
My Sword Steel is my body,
And fire is my blood

My first Haikus bot and it's the UBW chant. I have peaked
Good bot
And is an amazing haiku as well
Wouldnt it be funny if they use FGO rate just for this banner XD
No 50 50, no soft pity, hard pity at 300 pull.
I lost 850 quartz to Aesc, this shit happening twice now in HSR would destroy me.
Saved 1400SQ to NP5 Spishtar during her 1st banner, first drop at 1200SQ, I was losing my mind, got 2 more from last 200SQ.
I wanted NP5 but NP3 is good enough I guess...
Closing in on this myself. I got lucky on GSSR (double SSR) but Aesc has evaded me after almost 800 SQ. Got spooked by Orion (Artemis) myself.
Funny you say that, I got her in 30 pulls!
same. hitting pity in GO means your savings are fucking gone for the foreeseable future.
It would be hilarious. I would love to see people that call the 50/50 system the worst and most predatory gacha system deal with an actual hellish gacha system.
No 50/50
No banner pity carry over
No soft pity
Hard pity at 330 pulls
I'll take losing a 50/50 over dealing with this crap again.
Yep. I thought about playing FGO once upon a time, back before I even thought about getting into Genshin, nevermind HSR.
Then I saw the pull rates, noped out, and it never once crossed my mind again.
Funnier yet is that the hard pity is relatively recent because before that there wasn't anything.
You could theoretically pull infinitely and never get the banner character lmao.
Afaik the hard pity onpy once per banner, thought Im not sure...
Yup, only once, you get one copy and if you want more you are entirely at the mercy of RNG, no more pity.
Not anymore. JP already updated so the hard pity is available after your first copy. Sure, its still 900 quartz hard pity but at worst case scenario, you would be able to NP5 at 4.5k quartz which is lesser than worst case scenario of E6S5 scenario
yeah but quartz accumulates way slower.
Nope, it's infinite now... at least in JP.
I spent 400 on the first Proto Arthur banner and ended up with no Proto Arthur.
I did however have a NP3 Artoria
FGO is a silly gacha community because the fans actively tell newcomers to stay away from spending.
The upside is that it’s a purely singleplayer game with no real meta or competitive elements, so everyone can really just use and build whoever they like and clear all content with it
My Lvl 120 Jalter still sees use to this day, meta be damned
What do we say to newcomer?
"Thats hell youre walking into"
I don't know if he still plays but there was a no pull guy on NA who completed everything minus some challenge quests with 1-3* units IIRC, I can't remember if he let himself use welfares and what ever servant he got from the unavoidable tutorial roll.
Well HSR doesn't have meta either technically, since its single player and there are people who can beat MOC with free units, which makes me wonder why do people cry ?
Took me couple years just to get one copy of Muramasa....
FGO 5 star rates are better than HSR (almost 3 times better) it’s just the pity that suck ass.
"The cumulative Warp count for a guaranteed 5-star character in any "Character Collaboration Warp" will always be carried over to other "Character Collaboration Warps"
so, carry over to lancer's banner? *inhale*
Basaka and lancer would be peak.
so the 50/50 is still there, understandable, have a great day.
Their loss. I would have pulled way more if it wasn't there.
You might have, but the whales will pull way more with it being there.
If this was true for the majority of players, wouldnt companies have implemented this? Like WuWa weapon banner I suppose.
Surely MHY has done the math and knows there is more to be earned from players losing the 50-50.
I mean...the banner lasts for 3 patches...
I think you can afford to lose if you really wanted to get them tbh and I think that's why they made the banner last so long, heck most of these collab banners don't even have this extended duration tbh
It might last longer, since they say that there’s no end date yet
Would you prefer FGO rates?
Bro it’s so much better than other gacha systems

Alright, how many minutes until someone takes this required legal disclaimer to mean we're getting another collab?
Just to confirm, we use Special Passes, right? Not some custom collaboration pass
Yes. And any Special Passes used during 3.4 will count towards free Archer LC meter.
It’s just the normal way of pulling. All normal, but the pity doesn’t carry over to Phainon’s or others banners, this is because they don’t want you to pull to 74 pity on other banners and then get Saber in 1 pull
Or use your guarantee on saber either (I got one that's just sitting there lmao)
lmao I just converted all of my Jades to Special Passes yesterday. I would've gone feral if it use Custom Pass.
still bummed about the whole voiceover situation. I really enjoy HSR's English voicework, and when the collab was initially announced and Saber was featured in it I immediatly held hope that we would FINALLY get a new take on her English voice. At least Kawasumi Ayako's work is incredibly iconic, so nothing lost, right?
... except for the fact that Saber and Archer are likely going to be 100% UNvoiced throughout the event's release if playing the game in English. Come on, man... Hoyo could have pushed the 3.5 thing to an earlier version.
Actually, they're implementing a special feature for them that'll let you switch the voice overs to another language, so you can still hear them voiced (just not in English) even if you're using English voices for everyone else.
Yes, but only in 3.5 onwards, as is stated in the post
...What the hell is up with that? It should be a trivial thing to add. Why wouldn't it be available when it first drops? Why do we have to wait a whole update to use a secondary language?
Dev team working on code being unaware of the EN VA issue til late in the process most likely.
Nothing is trivial in software development, especially with a huge live service project like HSR.
Counterpoint:
a) You're right, this is a huge live service project. Star Rail got $102mil in April 2025 alone. I'm sure they could have afforded to get the manpower needed.
b)
main_language = "en"
fallback_language = "jp"
try:
voiceover = open(f"vo_{character}_{index}_{main_language}", "rb")
except OSError:
voiceover = open(f"vo_{character}_{index}_{fallback_language}", "rb")
audioService.play(voiceover)
You can't just buy manpower like that, any new hires pull experienced devs away to train them and get them up to speed with the game's systems.
Also nice code snippet with no underlying code base years old with hundreds of revisions.
For EN, It will play default JP VA for Saber and Archer. The 3.5 change is so that you can change only their VA without changing your entire settings.
Basically, in 3.4, if you chose EN/JP VA settings they'll be JP. If you chose CN they'll be CN, if you chose KR they'll be KR.
In 3.5, they'll change it so that regardless of your language settings, you can specifically change Saber and Archer's language in their character profile, without changing your own language settings.
I stand corrected
That's not what this post says. The post is pretty bluntly saying:
Note: Collaboration characters do not have English voiceovers. You may switch to another voiceover language.
There is no indication in any official statements that they will pull a Tekken during the event before 3.5. If there is, please point me to a source.
I'm shocked I haven't seen more complaints, and I can only assume it's because Hoyo have buried this announcement right at the bottom which I guess is to try and slip it in and hope people don't notice. It has single handedly ruined all the excitement I had for the collab. Now I need to pick between no voices or JP voices for everyone, or skip the story to do the event for the time limited stuff and I hope I dont get spoiled.
There is no reason for this to take until 3.5. None at all, just a massive own goal by them and I expect come Friday there will be a lot of angry people who didn't realise this.
Yeah, I'm willing to guess this was a very late issue in the process. Knowing Hoyo, they probably tried to push for EN VAs for the collab characters, but by the time they decided it simply wouldn't happen it was too late to release the future. It's the only logical conclusion really, considering how long this collab has been planned for. These things don't happen out of nowhere, particularly when there are two big franchises working on it.
It's just not good enough. I'm now left having to decide which option least ruins my experience playing which just should not be the case. What an awful snafu from Hoyo.
Agreed. Personally, I've preemptively downloaded JP VA to at least get the full experience when the collab goes live.
Ikr!! The limited event rewards end before 3.5 and the event suggests you play the collab story first
So after waiting a year, they expect you to change the game’s language to smth else or miss limited rewards because they’re putting voice options on collab units in 3.5
Just play JP. You'll enjoy it more.
Not when I prefer the Hsr cast in english
You can play the collab in jp and switch back to English after or you wait till 3.5
That doesn't changes anything, I'd still be craving en VOs when when everyone apart from Archer and Saber are talking (I have tried all except KR). It'd have been amazing if we could mix VOs but that's too wishful of me. Also, CN vos over JP
I understand it's just saber and archer won't ever get English voices also i should've made myself clearer that you could change over to jp/cn/kr or wait till 3.5. I also love the English vas if the situation gets resolved by 3.8 I'll back to English i started amphorous on jp it'll feel weird suddenly switching to English halfway
Nah you're fine. Since it's just Saber and Archer being affected in the long run, (I heard archer's Va have different issues than strike and for me in EN only Dan heng was majorly affected which will be resolved by upcoming patches) so I will watch their parts on YT or something.
I replied to the original post because it's annoying when people keep shoving JP VOs and saying it's better when it actuality it's just matter of preference. There's also scientific reason- basically good amount of people preferring their non-native/language they hear less, but doesn't changes anything for me as none of the available languages being a common tongue here
I think specifically people recommend jp for the fate quest is because it's heavily based of fate stay/night unlimited blade works and majority of people watch anime on jp but i understand what you mean this is like someone saying "this anime's English dub is garbage" and you saying "but i like it" it all comes down to preferences in the end enjoy the wya you prefer
I prefer a language I actually understand instead of just going "wow, this characters sounds cool, wow, this character sounds hot"
I wish the first copy is at least guaranteed for this collab banner and make the copies 50/50...
Unless I missed it does it say when the event ends?
no end date currently.
Awesome thanks!
Why won't they say when it will end?
Because as of now there's no end date in sight, and considering that the story mission is treated as a full-on Trailblaze Continuance mission and that once the event period ends it becomes a permanent event I'm thinking they don't expect it to end anytime soon. For reference, in other games you usually get the end date for limited time collabs announced from the start even if that date is as far as 1 year off in advance, so for the Fate collab to have no end date is pretty anomalous.
Is there any atk base destruction with more than 300 energy except saber ?
No. I think Yunli is closest at 240. I'm surprised Archer's and Cipher's made it out of beta with how generically good they are.
“the drop rates for all 4-star characters are equal”
Finally, e6 Hanya 🙏
Is saber a good unit or just mid. I used too many tickets on phainon that i dont think i want to pull for her unless she is a good unit. I dont really care about collab units
Please Cerydra come early so I can try to pull Saber... Please
50-50 chance from 0 pity is such bullshit.
How long will this banner last?
No confirmation on an end date, (they mentioned on the 3.4 Livestream that we'd be able to still summon even after update 3.6 iirc) so just gotta be on the lookout for official news for an end date.
So, how long will the banner take?
It says that there's no official end date in the text...
they should've got rid of 5050 i would 100% spend more money to e6 Saber if there was no 5050. But ig i'll settle with just 1 copy
you might have, but whales going for e6 will spend more than they would have without. There's a reason they do this stuff.
It blows my mind that FATE has enough fans for a collab cause like, I've read the VN and it's just so badly written. I asked friends of mine who like it why they do and I give examples of the writing and they tell me I must have a bad translation yet I am reading the mirror moon translation.
FATE is just, not well written.
Bait used to be believable
It's funny when someone is calling something badly written but they can't even not separate subject and predicate.
Badly written in what way?
In the Character Collaboration Warp, obtainable 5-star characters include the featured 5-star characters and the custom-selected characters from "Celestial Invitation."
Am I crazy? I thought that it was previously stated that pulling on the collab banners would only result in obtaining the character you were pulling for, i.e. that the collab banners did not have a 50/50 and were guaranteed to give the desired collab units/LCs. Does anyone else remember this being the case, or did I fucking imagine it or something?
They never mentioned that, you hallucinated it lol
Ah, my mistake. I guess I forgot where I was for a moment. How dare I so much as suggest that pulling desired units or their sigs be more agreeable in any way in a Hoyo game (even if there's definitely a reason that I thought this specific thing, as it's not like this notion spawned from nowhere into my mind). In order to fit in with all the shills and stans in this community one must prostrate themselves at every available opportunity and praise the infinite wisdom and generosity that Hoyo has continually blessed the world with through their gacha games that earn them literally billions of dollars. Indeed, it is my bad for speaking out of turn and attempting to spread such nonsense, clearly with malicious intent. I will take my double-digit downvotes and begone then. Good day 🙃
you good? Cause it sounds like you probably need a break from the community. You don't even have visible downvotes yet.
I don’t get people who get pressed over downvotes. Its just fake internet points. If you’re that sensitive over them you’d be better off never commenting for your own sake.
so pity can potentially transfer to future collabs?
Maybe
Considering how long took this one to happen, I wouldnt take that as much compensation xD
Fate part two with playable Lancer is real trust me bro
That's if he doesn't instantly die horrifically due to some bullshit (like someone using a command seal to make lancer stab himself in the heart)
