OK, in something of a novelty for me, I'm actually going to review the GSSR banners well in advance of #FGO #7thAnniversary. I'm pretty much only going to score the 5⭐ s (even though you get a 4⭐ as well), and only in terms of which units #Marika has NOW.
Show threadArcadiagt5Jun 26, 2024
So, ground rules for this. #FGO
A new 5⭐ that's a priority target - 20
A new 5⭐ that's not a priority - 10
A 5⭐ that #marika already has but would like additional copy(s) of - 10
A 5⭐ that woulb be OK to get additional copies of - 5
A 5⭐ that is already at NP5, i.e. a USO (Unregistered Spirit Origin) - -10. (I don't think #marika HAS any NP5 5⭐, this is more for #arcadia)

Ok, so #Saber1 #FGO #Marika

Arthur - 10 (new but not great)
Okita Souji - 20 (YES PLEASE! Personal fave)
Sigurd - 10
Umu Bride - 20
Musashi - 20
Shiki - 10

Total 90

Saber 1 looks pretty strong with a 50/50 good/OK hit rate, and no dupes. 1/20

#Saber2 #FGO #Marika
Astolfo - 20
Ibuki Douji - 20
Okita Alter - 20
Charlemagne - 10
Senji Muramasa - 5 (Currently NP2)
Hai Ba Trung - 10 (Currently NP1)
Beni Enma - 20

105 points but with a 2/7 chance of not getting a new unit. Good but... 2/20

#Archer1 #FGO #Marika

Squirtoria - 20
Ishtar - 20
Gilgamesh - 20
Moriarty - 20 (tough call but I don't think I have Moriarty on either account so...)

80 and solid across the board. Hard banner to go past. 3/20

Show threadArcadiagt5Jun 26, 2024

#Archer2 #FGO #Marika

Jeanne Archer - 20
Sei Shounagon - 10 (new, but...)
Super Orion - 5 (Already NP1, and that's fine)

35 and decent, but I don't think the upsides of Archer 1 are really there 4/20

Show threadArcadiagt5Jun 26, 2024

#lancer1 #FGO #marika
Ereshkigal - 10 (Currently NP1)
Scathach - 10 (Currently NP1)
Tamamo no Mae - 20 (Because Tamamo)
Brynhildr - 10

50 with way too much overlap. Lancer 1 is a skip I think. 5/20

Show threadArcadiagt5Jun 26, 2024

#Lancer2 #FGO #Marika

Ryouma Sakamoto - 20
Melusine - 20 (and sticking to my rules and ONLY giving Melusine 20 points was REALLY effing hard folks) #MelusineIsBroken
Romulus Quirinus - 10 (Currently NP1)

A strong banner at 50 points made massively tempting by a 1/3 chance of one of the most broken units in the game. But I do already have Romulus so... 6/20

Show threadArcadiagt5Jun 26, 2024

#Rider1 #FGO #marika OK, out of the Knights and into the cavalry
Altria Alter (Maid Alter) - 10
Ivan the Terrible - 20
Iskandar - 10

Not terribly enthused by this set, even if they are all new to this account. 7/20

Show threadArcadiagt5Jun 26, 2024

#Rider2 #FGO #marika
Kyokutei Bakin - 20
Konstaninos - 10 (EWWW)
Reines - 20
Da Vinci Lily - 10 (NP1, more would be nice)

Admittedly Konstantinos got a REALLY nice buff on JP recently...but that's two years away and makes him a booby prize 8/20

Show threadArcadiagt5Jun 26, 2024

#Caster1 #FGO Casters seem to be one of #marika's stronger classes and may not need bolstering

Ilya - 10 (Currently Np1)
Skadi - 10 (Currently NP1)
Summer Nero - 20
Merlin - 10 (Currently NP1
Da Vinci - 10 (Currently NP1)

Much reinforcement, little development. The 60 points is misleading I think. 9/20

Show threadArcadiagt5Jun 26, 2024

#Caster2 #FGO #Marika

Castoria - 5 (NP3 is sufficient)
Izumo no Okuni - 20
Miss Crane - 20
Murasaki Shikibu - 10 (Currently Np1)

I'm thinking no here despite two good new units. 10/20

#Assassin1 #FGO #Marika
Cleopatra - 10 (nice unit, talk to me when they fix Imperial Privilege)
Shuten Douji - 20 (something of a personal favourite on #arcadia
MHX - 10 (currently NP1)
King Hassan - 20 (would be good to get)

60 and a mixed bag. 11/20

#Assassin2 #FGO #marika
Kama - 20 (oh hell yes)
Semiramis - 10 (I liked her in #FateApocrypha but...)
Koyanskaya - 10 (Currently NP1)

A 1/3 of Kama is nice but... 12/20

Sakata Kintoki - GOLDEN! - 20
MHXA - 20

Minamoto no Raiko - 10 (not a fan of the #EscherGirls character design).

50/50 of good or disappointed. Not liking those odds 13/20
