FGO: Summer 2021 Las Vegas [Katsushika Hokusai]
![FGO: Summer 2021 Las Vegas [Katsushika Hokusai]](https://meepingblog.com/content/images/2021/07/FGO-Summer-2021-LasVegas-Katsushika-Hokusai-v1.jpg)
This guide is written by a new player that managed to obtain Jeanne Alter + all of her copies by pure luck/persistence and is attempting the FGO: Summer 2021 Las Vegas. There’s no stamina optimization in place or clear-cut strategies for bosses. You can follow my progress and hopefully helpful tips to assist a new Master in their quest to getting a solid 4* Saber Servant.
When you first start the event, 4* Saber Servant: Katsushika Hokusai temporarily joins your party.
Tips
If you are just starting out in the game, work on 4* Saber Hokusai. The event revolves around her and therefore materials for skills and evolution will be more accessible (not to mention it is part of the missions). This is what I did to get Jeanne Alter, the event previous to this one and used Arash and 4* Saber Siegfried plus one overpowered support (from the provided list).
Make sure the Support’s NP isn’t grayed out or you won’t be able to use it.
It’s completely normal for your servants to die as long as the overpowered Support is still standing.
Mystic Code: Chaldea will be your lifesaver. Apply Evade when the enemy is about to use their NP in battle 3/3 to save the overpowered Support.
Take advantage of weaknesses in classes, Servant bonus, etc.
Purchase Crafting Essence as soon as you can to maximize your earnings.
Challenge VIP Fever Casinos when you have tickets (provided you know you can beat them)
Do not bet on Chance quests (2mil QP) unless you are 100% certain you can beat it. If you win, it will net you 4mil QP.
Some of the quests require that Hokusai be set in starting position.
Some content is time-gated.
Enemies are labeled [according to the mission]
You need to complete initial quests to unlock the rest.
You only need to ascend Hokusai three times to complete the missions. As the event’s featured Servant, Katsushika Hokusai gets double the Exp.
Currency
There are 3 types of currency in this event.
Miracle Playing Cards (MPC)
Lucky Dice (LD)
Dream Chip (DC)
Bonus CE
When you first start the event, only Midsummer Memories is available for purchase. You can acquire 3 copies.
Midsummer Memories: 200 MPC/200 LD/200 DC - Shop
Strategy
Final Goal: Your goal is to complete 100 missions and keep at least the starting copy of Katsushika Hokusai so your investment won't be in vain.
You have 20 days.
