Overview

“Dear Master, please use Gogh with vigor, and grind my body like flour as if I was cattle… Although cattle are normally used to grind flour… Eheh, Gogh Joke…”

In keeping with Fate tradition, despite being historically male, Van Gogh manifests with a female spirit origin. She is a Supportive Foreigner Servant with an Arts NP, and their kit makes her an excellent and highly unique Quick-focused Critical Damage support Servant, particularly for Foreigner allies.

A theme of curses runs throughout Van Gogh’s skill set, with Het Gele Huis applying Curse to all allies, Soul of the Water Channels absorbing all Curse stacks from both enemies and allies onto herself, and Void Space Art applying three stacks of Curse to herself. She can also take advantage of Curse stacks she has in multiple ways, with Void Space Art increasing her own NP Gauge by up to 10% for every stack of Curse she has, while Soul of the Water Channels allows her to remove a Curse stack with every Quick attack while gaining a minor ATK buff stack in exchange. Helpfully, she has a passive that prevents her from succumbing to Curse damage, always leaving her at 1 HP. She also provides a multitude of benefits to allies both offensively and defensively. Offensively, she can increase ATK and Star Gather rate for a single ally, and can decrease DEF and Quick Resist for all enemies. Defensively, she has a party 1-time Evade, and a very minor HP regen skill that largely offsets Curse damage. She also has a Guts skill of her own as her hard defensive measure.

The centerpiece of her kit is her Noble Phantasm, De Sterrennacht, named after Van Gogh’s most famous work. As is suiting for a painting detailing the stars of the night sky, Van Gogh gains passive Critical Stars each turn after the NP. In addition, all allies receive sizable ATK and Critical Damage buffs, and if any allies are Foreigners (including Gogh herself), they receive an even larger Critical Damage buff. Enemies are all inflicted with Terror, which gives a chance-based Stun effect. Given the NP’s Arts typing, and Van Gogh’s high hit-count Cards and generous NP Gain, an NP-Extra chain from Van Gogh herself can quickly fill her NP Gauge back up. Continued usage of her NP allows the Critical Damage and ATK buffs to continue stacking, which can quickly snowball into extremely high Card damage. Their Foreigner Class tends to be more of an advantage since she will very rarely have Class disadvantage, and her raw Crit Damage output is so substantial that oftentimes Class advantage bonus is rendered moot.

Given her three Quick Cards with high hit counts and star gain from her NP and passive, her Star generation is also highly impressive, and the party usually won’t have any shortage of Critical Stars. Her performance only improves with the presence of Quick Support. She also plays particularly well with other Foreigners, who also reap the benefits of additional Crit Damage buffs from her NP; she also can synergize with Servants that have Curse, since she can absorb more Curse stacks to enhance the potency of her skills.

Overall, Van Gogh is a unique and extremely effective Quick-centered Critical Damage support who is more than capable of being the primary damage output of the team if needed. Masters who have the famed artist in their Chaldea will have their party blessed with countless Stars, with Gogh painting their damage numbers in her color of choice, a warm sunshine yellow.

Van Gogh’s primary role as a Critical Damage support is largely supported by the effects of her third skill, and indirectly by her first skill (via the NP gauge charge and quicker access to her NP). However, all three of her skills benefit her ability to support the party’s overall performance. 

• Void Space Art B+ – This skill is a Guts skill that also self-inflicts three stacks of Curse and increases her NP Gauge for every Curse stack active (which includes the three stacks provided by the skill). Levels in this skill improve how much NP charge she receives per Curse stack, and also increase the HP recovery from the Guts effect. The NP charge is doubled from its initial level when maxed, so this skill is worth leveling to max as materials will allow.
• Het Gele Huis A+ – Although this skill provides a plethora of effects, the only one that changes with skill level is the DEF debuff effect (aside from cooldown). Having her party Evade on a lower cooldown can still be helpful, and the increased potency of the DEF debuff helps with damage output, although this skill is not as high priority for leveling. This one can be left safely at a lower level.
• Soul of the Water Channels EX – This provides a sizable, targetable ATK buff at base that scales with level. Additionally, the Star Gather buff scales with level. Improving this skill helps with his offensive supportive capacity (either for himself or for a party member), and is worth leveling as high as possible to reach her maximum potential.

Craft Essence Recommendation

Crimson Teacher's Pointer

Princess's Pilgrimage

Midsummer Moment

Bestia del Sol

The Dantès Files: The Case of the True Mastermind

Can't Fight on an Empty Stomach

A Fragment of 2030

Dangerous Beast

Self-Portrait At Chaldea

Van Gogh’s CE choice can depend on whether she plans to be the primary attacker of the party, or whether she primarily will be Critical Damage Support. Quick Card Performance and Critical Damage CEs are helpful to her if she is the primary damage dealer, while Stars per Turn CEs are more helpful in general usage of her as a Support.

• Crimson Teacher’s Pointer / Princess’s Pilgrimage / Midsummer Moment / Bestia del Sol / The Dantes Files: The Case of the True Mastermind / Can’t Fight on an Empty Stomach: These all provide a mix of Quick Card and Crit Damage buffs, which benefit Van Gogh’s overall damage output. Both Crimson Teacher’s Pointer and Princess’s Pilgrimage also provide starting NP Gauge, which Van Gogh can use to get an NP out on the first turn without support using proper ordering of her skills (2 > 3 > 1).
• A Fragment of 2030 / Dangerous Beast: Stars per turn will help improve the consistency of Critical Hits to fully benefit from Van Gogh’s multiple Critical Damage buffs.
• Self-Portrait At Chaldea: Van Gogh’s Bond CE is particularly useful, giving 8 Stars per turn while also boosting all allies’ Crit Damage by 15%, supplementing Van Gogh’s primary role as a Crit Support.
