Sakata Kintoki

Sakata Kintoki is a 5* Berserker that specializes in instant Noble Phantasm in the first turn do deal massive damage and instant kill bosses.

 

 

 

Sakata Kintoki is a notorious boss killer especially in raid events as his kit allows him to deal massive amounts of damage in the first turn with his Noble Phantasm in addition to debuffing them with his Noble Phantasm.

 

Sakata Kintoki’s 1st skill boosts his buster performance by a whopping 50% and grants him a NP damage up buff, helping to improve his damage potential. In addition, Kintoki’s 3rd skill instantly boosts his NP gauge by 50%, allowing him to instantly use his NP on the first turn, helping him to kill bosses using the Black Grail CE instantly.

 

Minamoto no Raikou

Minamoto no Raikou is a 5* Berserker that deals massive amounts of Buster damage to waves of enemies and deals extra damage to enemies with “demonic” traits.

 

 

Minamoto no Raikou’s kit revolves around buffing her critical and Noble Phantasm damage against Demonic trait enemies and clear waves of enemies in her way.

 

Raikou’s only problem is that her kit doesn’t have a NP battery, making it difficult for her to gain her NP gauge to use her Noble Phantasm, however, once Raikou is able to use her Noble Phantasm, she will deal massive damage and will wipe out any waves of enemies.

 

Should You Pull

No, You shouldn’t. While Sakata Kintoki and Minamoto no Raikou are good servants with amazing damage potentials, the upcoming servants are more powerful and fulfill players’ need for boss killing and farming. Therefore, players should skip this banner unless the 2 rated up servants are their favorite servants.
