Fate/Grand Order 6th Anniversary Koyanskaya of Light Pickup Summon Banner

The 6th Anniversary event just started in the Fate/Grand Order (FGO) mobile game.

This came with the 6th Anniversary Koyanskaya of Light Pickup Summon banner, which features the following Servants and Craft Essences (CEs):

5-star SSR Assassin Koyanskaya of Light (#ad)

4-star SR Lancer Caenis

4-star SR Lancer Valkyrie

4-star SR Lancer Qin Liangyu

5-star SSR CE Summer Anniversary

4-star SR CE Reading Holiday

3-star R CE Gof Special

Thoughts about 5-star SSR Assassin Koyanskaya of Light

Only interested in 5-star Koyanskaya of Light because she’s the meta support for Servants with Buster-type Noble Phantasms (NPs).

With 2 Koyanskayas (your own plus a friend support’s), it’s possible for a lot of Buster NP Servants to loop or fire their Noble Phantasms 3 times in a row.

There are some caveats to that like how some Servants require you to plug in or bring in another support who can further charge their NP or how some Servants may be locked to certain Craft Essences or Mystic Codes.

I have a few Servants who can benefit from having Koyanskaya, and it would be nice to be able to try out the so-called Double Koyanskaya System or DKS so wanted to try pulling for Koyanskaya.

But so far, based on the story, don’t really like Koyanskaya’s character. At the time I’m writing this post, currently still in Part 2 Chapter 5.5 "Naraka Mandala, Heian-kyo - Thunderous Flash". So don’t know if future chapters and stories or events will make Koyanskaya more likeable or something.

Thoughts about 4-star SR Lancers Caenis, Valkyrie, and Qin Liangyu

Don’t have a single copy of either Caenis, Valkyrie, or Qin Liangyu so it’d be great to get them all while pulling for Koyanskaya.

My preference would be Valkyrie then Caenis then Qin Liangyu. I’ve always liked Valkyrie, and it’s nice to have like 3 Servants in 1.

Didn’t really like Caenis when she was first introduced in the story, but after playing through Part 2 Chapter 5 "Lostbelt No.5: Ancient Ocean of the Dreadnought Gods‚ Atlantis - The Day to Bring Down Gods" and Part 2 Chapter 5 "Lostbelt No.5: Interstellar Mountainous City, Olympus - The Day to Bring Down Gods", ended up kinda liking her so now wouldn’t mind getting her.

From what little I remember about Qin Liangyu, not really interested in her. It’s always nice to get a new Servant though so of course wouldn’t mind getting her.

But if I could choose between the aforementioned 4-stars, then I prefer to get Valkyrie and Caenis first and wouldn’t mind missing out on Qin Liangyu. My priority is definitely Koyanskaya of Light though.

Fate/Grand Order Guaranteed Summon Function

Fate/Grand Order now has a “pity system” but it costs 900 Saint Quartz (SQ) for 1 rate-up SSR. If you happen to get the rate-up SSR before spending 900 SQ, you’re not guaranteed to get another copy even if you keep pulling until you spend 900 SQ.

In short, this so-called pity system sucks. Don’t know if I even Pretty sure I don’t have 900 Saint Quartz.

Fate/Grand Order Pulling Plans

Currently, have 124 SQ on hand. But I should have a few more in my present box and in the form of SQ fragments. Also have some as rewards from clearing permanent missions and such. Didn’t collect any of these SQ yet so I wouldn’t be tempted to spend them.

Would have had more Saint Quartz but ended up using a lot of them recently since I pulled for 5-star SSR Berserker Morgan. I talk more about my Morgan pulls on this post.

Since Morgan gets a lot of banners, my plan was actually to either skip her first banner or just do a few pulls then save the rest of my SQ for Koyanskaya of Light and 5-star SSR Pretender Oberon.

Koyanskaya and Oberon were coming really soon after Morgan’s first banner. And these 2 are meta and top-tier supports. As mentioned, Koyanskaya buffs Buster-type cards and enables those with Buster-type NPs to loop.

Oberon buffs Buster too but aside from that, he also buffs NP damage which all DPS Servants can benefit from. These supports can also charge the NP gauge of their allies which helps with looping or 3-turning fights.

So much for planning though. Not only was I unable to skip Morgan’s first banner, I also ended up doing more than just a couple of pulls there.

Thankfully, I was able to get Morgan. But instead of stopping at that, ended up continuing to pull until I was able to get another copy of her. That really took a lot of my SQ. If I hadn’t done that, I would have had more pulling resources for Koyanskaya and Oberon.

Considering what happened, I was actually considering either skipping Koyanskaya’s first banner and just waiting for her rerun or just doing a couple of multis for her then saving the rest of my SQ for Oberon.

Both Koyanskaya and Oberon are really good but Koyanskaya is really more for Buster looping whereas Oberon can be used to buff all DPS Servants.

Honestly, I don’t think I really need Koyanskaya because I already have 5-star SSR Caster Altria or Artoria or Castoria. Castoria buffs Arts similar to how Koyanskaya buffs Buster. She also enables those with Arts-type NPs to be able to loop.

Having Oberon will help to make my Arts loopers stronger. So it seems like it would be better to focus on getting Oberon first.

Besides, Koyanskaya will get a rerun banner soon enough but Oberon’s rerun banner won’t be for like another year or so.

6th Anniversary Koyanskaya of Light Pickup Summon Banner Pulls Results

But, well, so much for planning because just ended up pulling on the Koyanskaya of Light banner.

Hopefully, I’ll be able to get her and maybe even copies of the featured 4-star SR Lancers while still having some SQ left for Oberon’s upcoming banner.

Also hoping that I can get at least 1 or 2 copies of the 5-star SSR Craft Essence The Black Grail. My copy of this CE is stuck at Level 60 of 60. Need 2 more copies in order to be able to fully MLB this CE.

Anyway, here are the results of my pulls on the 6th Anniversary Koyanskaya of Light Pickup Summon banner. Only gonna list the notable stuff I get though.

Since I have 26 tickets on hand, decided to start with single draws first. Didn’t get anything worth taking note of until the +1 or bonus summon wherein a gold Lancer card actually showed up.

This turned into my first copy of 4-star SR Qin Liangyu.

Would have preferred to have gotten Koyanskaya of Light already or even Valkyrie or Caenis instead but at least I got a new Servant.

Sadly, my second set of single draws didn’t give me anything good.

So decided to do a multi-draw next. Got 3 4-star CEs, including Divine Banquet, but these were all dupes. Also, by now, I’m so sick and tired of seeing Divine Banquet.

Already have 1 copy that’s fully MLB but it seems like I always keep getting this Craft Essence. Wish I could get a better CE instead like The Black Grail.

My next multi-draw only had 1 dupe 4-star CE. Meh. Bad pull is bad.

My next multi-draw gave me my first 2 copies of the rate-up 5-star SSR CE Summer Anniversary. This CE seems pretty good, assuming I can fully MLB it anyway.

Also kept on getting more dupes of the rate-up 4-star and 3-star CEs but neither of these seem all that good so meh.

My next multi-draw actually gave me a gold Berserker card.

Too bad I didn’t get a gold Assassin card instead. Anyway, the gold Berserker card sooon revealed itself to be my very first copy of 5-star SSR Berserker Galatea.

Well, at least she’s new, and I heard that she is pretty good but still. Wish I could have gotten Koyanskaya instead. That way, I could be done with this banner already and I’d have more SQ left to try pulling for Oberon.

Aside from Galatea, this pull also gave me 3 more copies of Summer Anniversary so I now have enough to fully MLB my first copy.

It’s nice to be able to MLB a 5-star CE but man, how I wish this had been something like The Black Grail instead. Sigh.

Anyway, my next multi-draw gave me a gold Rider card.

To my dismay, this turned into a dupe of 4-star SR Rider Marie Antoinette. Ugh. Was so annoyed when I saw this because this is like my 5th copy of Marie.

Can’t remember the last time I used her since I have lots of other Riders. Haven’t even bothered to fuse the dupes that I got of her to increase her Noble Phantasm level.

Ahh, if I was getting a 4-star, why couldn’t it have been one of the ones on rate-up instead? Or why couldn’t I get someone new? Also, Koyanskaya of Light, doko da?

After that, decided to do single draws again. But, again, didn’t get anything good. Sigh. Eff this banner.

Went back to doing a multi-draw but got crap as usual.

My next multi-draw was also meh.

So went back to single draws where I got yet another copy of Summer Adventure as well as more copies of Gof Special and Reading Holiday.

My next set of single draws actually gave me 1 gold Lancer card.

This turned into my very first copy of 4-star SR Lancer Caenis. Nice.

Also got more copies of Reading Holiday. LOL.

After that, went back to doing a multi-draw. To my surprise, a gold Assassin card showed up. Hell, yes! Also, please be Koyanskaya, please be Koyanskaya.

Thankfully, the gold Assassin card did turn into my very first copy of 5-star SSR Koyanskaya of Light. Hell, yes! Super pleased to see this.

Now I can finally be done with this banner. Too bad Valkyrie didn’t show up. Ah, well. Maybe next time.

At least Koyanskaya didn’t take all of my SQ. Still have some left for Oberon. But definitely not enough to pity him so here’s to hoping I’ll be able to get him with my remaining SQ.

Anyway, aside from Koyanskaya, this multi-draw gave me yet another dupe of Divine Banquet. LOL.

5-star SSR Assassin Koyanskaya of Light

Leveled up Caenis and Qin Liangyu but haven’t done anything else with them. For now, focused on Koyanskaya of Light.

After getting Koyanskaya to level 90, spent the materials and such needed to get all of her skills to level 10.

Just tried her out in a few fights with Morgan and a support Koyanskaya. Was able to get Morgan to loop after a few tries. Needed to equip the right CE and Mystic Code. The order of when to activate which skill was also important.
