Yeah, sadly you have to head over to HSR if you want a male summer character.

Lilith is easily one of(if not the) most popular servant in last 2-3 years. It's same thing as whole LB6 cast getting its own Summer event very fast
41
u/Misticsan Aug 01 '26
It also happened with Tenochtitlan, who was the breakout character for LB7. And while it was obviously planned form the start, Ishtar got her Summer version less than a year after her debut in Babylonia.

Hm, I wonder how that'll work. Aren't swimsuits count as ~1st ascension? And summer stuff is usually Fuyuki gated, so not sure how they can pull it off. Unless they make swimsuit per "form" or make it buyable only if you unlocked ortinax/paladin.

Yeah, there's a nonzero chance we have at least one more summer SSR this year.
Honestly? I'm kind of expecting it, because it seems a little weird to just keep the SRs under wraps. Like, from a marketing perspective, if you're gonna hold off on revealing some new Servants for a big yearly event, you're gonna want to finish big.

u/XF10 Aug 01 '26
Summer 4 was insane in dropping Okita,Melt and Hokusai as SR; they are easily popular enough to get a SSR alt that could have made lots of money. Same for Summer Jalter the previous year

u/KuronixFirhyx I want their "swords" inside me. Aug 01 '26
According to an interview, SSR having SR [Welfare] Summer variant was DelightWorks way of giving players a thank-you gift.
11
u/Misticsan Aug 01 '26
That fits the trend. The welfare Servants for the first Summers were Scathach, Ishtar, Jalter and Hokusai, all based on popular SSR Servants. I bet they could have made bank with them if released for regular banners.

u/Aschverizen Thanks for All the Salt and Quartz. Aug 01 '26 edited Aug 01 '26
OC1 is unlike the other OC's, there no supercharge mascot representative of the class, Edmond, Jeanne and BB(who had gotten two summer alts just to accommodate her) all got alts for their class. I'm curious if we'll get a supercharged Abigail if we ever get a Foreigner OC.
I'd say Sakura as a servant vessel is the mascot representative for OC1, Durga, Kali, Kama, BB and her as an NPC Master all appear in the chapter which is appropriate since the Sakura 5 are the first canon Alter Egos introduced and are all Sakura faces.
Unlike Moon Cancer which BB created it seems the Alter Ego class was already an existing class in the Throne, OC1 just expanded info for how Alter Egos manifest.

u/shandymint Aug 01 '26 edited Aug 01 '26
Tbh I highly doubt Nasu is leaving FGO considering he co wrote the last event with Sanda and was the one who wrote the epilogue where Gordie teased something happening in PHH that will most likely come up when the Norns stuff is done. The fact that he couldn’t trust Sanda to write BB Dubai despite how small her section was in the story tells me that he just won’t leave his (atp it’s gotta be 100?) FGO characters to other writers so whenever his characters are involved he’ll also be involved and then he’ll get struck with inspo when he sees a new cool character design you know the drill

Lilith looks to be a Rider, but... I don't know, almost feels too obvious.
Beni is a tough one, but Archer could work with her drink gun.
For Habetrot, I want to say Caster or Ruler. No real justification, just feeling it.

u/ZeothTheHedgehog I will Crown my Queen Aug 01 '26 edited Aug 01 '26
Uh, yeah. I said I wished Summer Lilith became a thing after Shielders started getting spread out, as in, after the class stopped being exclusive to Mash.
There's still no other Shielder besides Mash, presumably meaning the class will continue remain exclusive to her for the time being, meaning Lilith won't be a Shielder herself. She's more likely a Rider.
I'm sorry if I wasn't clear to begin with, but that's what I meant.

I mean since she is kinda the first character to have successfully instill Mashu the feeling of "hatred" towards someone and being a goofy+dangerous personality make her work a lot with the fanbase.
And ofc since she had a very appealing design from her preview art so it played a lot.

And of course Lilith got hers as soon as the dev can add her in lol (also I didn’t know the “Summer Prep” in Beni’s rerun event was this literal but yay!)

- Lilith ballin' (but at what cost?)
- Beni the cutest food stall keeper. Very dechi.
- Habetrot of the Big Hat. Nay - Habetrot of the Biggest Hat. Just imagine a huge straw hat gliding around on the floor, you big it up and Habetrot is under there with a wide grin.
- Kingprotea, the biggest waiter with the biggest offerings. How many baseball teams do you need to drink just the beer?
Aside from welfare Habetrot, all of them five-stars. Cool, but sounds like it's an expensive time to be playing JP.
