CD 7 7 7 7 7 6 6 6 6 5

The OG Saber finally receives a much-needed and much-awaited upgrade to her third Intuition skill, where it now gains a 20-30% self NP Gauge charge that scales with level. The number of Critical Stars provided remains unchanged. Even so, the NP Gauge charge greatly improves her ability as a farming Servant; a 30% charge now enables her to NP out the gate with a Merlin support and either Waver or another source of 50% NP Gauge, and greatly increases the flexibility of setups that run her. Altria fans rejoice!

Bellerophon receives an upgrade in base damage from 600-1000% up to 800-1200% as is standard for Quick AoE upgrades. She also gains a Critical Rate down by 20% (3 turns) effect, which all but eliminates critical hits from Caster enemies that she likely would be pitted against. The Critical Star Drop Rate boost for all allies also increases from 20-60% up to 50-100% with overcharge, which will help increase critical star generation for the subsequent 3 turns.

Rank Up Quests Day 2 - Paracelsus von Hohenheim

Skill Upgrade

This particular Skill Upgrade grants Philosopher's Stone an additional NP Gain boost that he can grant to one ally of choice. The values scale with level from 30-50%, and last a whole 3 turns. For Masters familiar with building NP loop setups, this boost is enormous. This Rank Up makes Paracelsus one of the primary Supports to run in an NP looping setup, given the boost lasts three turns at very generous values.

Rank Up Quests Day 2 - Stheno

NP Upgrade

Smile of the Stheno B

High chance to inflict Death (Male only) for a single enemy.
Decrease DEF for a single enemy by 20% (3 turns).

Stheno's NP gets a bit of utility added in the form of Buff removal for the targeted enemy. The DEF debuff also now scales with NP level from 20-30%, rather than being fixed at 20%. It's a subtle but appreciated boost for those who manage to roll Stheno multiple times. She still remains of niche use, being of deadly effectiveness against Male enemies in charm-lock setups, although this change does not really push her NP to the point she would be a preferred pick outside of that niche. If only non-males would find her smile charming.

Rank Up Quests Day 3 - Tamamo Cat

Tamamo Cat finally receives a way to prevent her NP's Stun demerit in her own skill kit. Morph (Lunch) gains a Debuff Immune effect for herself, lasting for 1 turn. In addition, it provides her with a new Max HP boost of 1000-2000 (scaling with level), providing her with a bit more sustenance. For lovers of this Berserker Cat, this Rank Up makes her more self sufficient, no longer requiring external debuff clear / immunity support for at least one NP usage, and is a much appreciated upgrade.

"The Gae Bolg never misses its target." Accordingly, Gae Bolg finally has a Sure Hit effect lasting for 1 turn, as appropriate for its lore. The damage scaling for his NP also receives a nice boost from 1200% - 2000% up to 1600 - 2400% (based on NP level). As an added bonus, its Instant Death effect receives a slight boost, from 50-100% up to 60-100% (with Overcharge).

Cu Chulainn (Caster) has never been known for dealing damage with his NP, having the unfortunate state of being a Story-Locked 3 star Servant. Even so, an upgrade to his NP is not unappreciated. His base NP damage increases from 300-500% to 400-600%, and he gains a Buster performance boost by 20% that activates before NP and lasts three turns. Given he only has one other Buster Card in his deck aside from his NP, the effectiveness of this upgrade is not as great as it could be, but it is still a small improvement.

Rank Up Quests Day 5 - Nightingale

Recover HP for an ally.

The Nurse of Steel refuses to allow afflictions upon those she watches over. Her first single-ally targetable healing skill gains a Debuff Immune (3 times, 3 turns) effect, as well as an Instant Death immune effect (1 time, 3 turns). This is a nifty utility boost for Nightingale, enabling her to protect allies from debuffs (either self-inflicted or from enemies) without having to rely on her NP. That it lasts 3 times also helps with enabling NP looping setups for Servants that would otherwise self-stun, such as Frankenstein.

Queen Anne's Revenge receives an NP upgrade, increasing its damage from 300-400% up to 400-500%. The base Critical Star gain increases from 5 to 10, and the chance for decreasing NP Charge for enemies is increased from 30-70% up to 40-80% (with overcharge). Unfortunately, the NP drain is never guaranteed, even after the upgrade. This Rank Up is mostly conservative upgrades to his NP's already existing effects.

Rank Up Quests Day 6 - Hassan of the Cursed Arm

Skill Upgrade

Throw / Retrieve A

Gain Critical Stars.
Apply delayed buff: Gain Critical Stars after 1 turn.

Hassan of the Cursed Arm's first skill receives an upgrade, in which the base number of stars provided receives a slight boost from 3-12 up to 5-15. In addition, it now also applies a delayed buff that gives an additional 5-15 stars the next turn, totaling up to 30 stars over 2 turns. The upgrade helps with increasing his (and his teammates') critical hit consistency, and although not overtly game-changing, it is welcome nonetheless.

The DEF-ignoring NP gains a damage boost of 900-1500% up to 1200-1800% with NP level. The chance of decreasing the NP charge of the targeted enemy also increases from 60-100% up to 80-100% (scaling with Overcharge). This NP Upgrade notably makes EMIYA (Alter) one of the hardest-hitting single target Archers in the roster. Masters who utilize EMIYA (Alter) will want to make sure to capitalize on the upgrades provided by his Rank Up.

Just in time for Skadi and her Quick NP looping shenanigans, Edmond Dantes's NP receives an upgrade of base damage from 600-1000% up to 800-1200% with NP level. It also receives a rare (but niche) 'Increase Curse Damage by 2x' effect that lasts for 5 turns which can stack, similar to Archer of Inferno's effect for Burn Damage. Curse damage is not a widely applicable, but can come in handy in quests in which flat damage is desirable (such as enemies with very high damage resist).

Rank Up Quests Day 7 - Ushiwakamaru

Ushiwakamaru's first skill receives an upgrade, where she gains a three-turn self Quick buff of 10-20% (scaling with level). The NP Gain effect unfortunately does not change. However, this is still a welcome upgrade to her NP damage and Quick Card performance. She has always been a solid 3 star single-target Rider option, and this upgrade solidifies her position as the highest damage dealing 3 star Rider in the current roster.
