Shizuki Shojuro's greatest appeal lies in the synergy between his Noble Phantasm and his second skill, 'Saketen Enji Zabiza'. His Noble Phantasm has a unique mechanism of attacking a single target with Buster and then inflicting damage on himself. 'Saketen Enji Zabiza' is a rare skill that increases the current charge amount by a multiplier. Upon reaching level 10, the charge amount doubles, allowing the Noble Phantasm to be used with only 50% charge, enabling various strategic applications. Key Points: 1. Noble Phantasm can be activated in 1 turn by linking with the 'Saketen Enji Zabiza' skill. 2. Employ a 1-turn Noble Phantasm activation strategy with initial charge Craft Essences or support combinations. 3. Easy to switch backline Servants by retreating after a 1-turn defeat.

The 'Mushi Patan' skill, when applied to the leader, provides a card type buff along with the effect of evading enemy attacks up to 5 times. This evasion effect only applies to enemy attacks and is ineffective against continuous damage or debuffs. Additionally, be aware that it can be ignored by effects like 'guaranteed attack' or 'pierce invincibility'. Utilizing this skill can increase Shizuki Shojuro's survivability, allowing him to participate in battles for longer. Key Points: 1. Increases survivability by evading enemy attacks up to 5 times. 2. Evasion effect only applies to enemy attacks and can be ignored by certain effects. 3. Effect may be limited in a 1-turn Noble Phantasm activation strategy.

Shizuki Shojuro's Noble Phantasm possesses an 'invincibility pierce' effect, along with a 'damage cut ignore' effect, which is different from the usual 'defense ignore'. This means he can attack while ignoring 'damage cut' effects that reduce damage by a fixed amount. By ignoring the high damage cut effects some enemies possess, Shizuki Shojuro is extremely effective against such foes. Furthermore, his Noble Phantasm includes a 'buff removal' effect against 'damage reduction' effects, making it powerfully effective against defensive enemies. Key Points: 1. Highly effective against certain enemies due to the 'damage cut ignore' effect. 2. Easily deals with defensive enemies thanks to the 'damage reduction' buff removal effect. 3. Provides powerful attack power along with the invincibility pierce effect.

To enhance Shizuki Shojuro's survivability, it's crucial to utilize the 'Guts' effect. The Guts effect can be granted through various Mystic Codes such as the 'Witch's Night' event Craft Essence, Anniversary Blonde, and Shinsengumi. Additionally, combinations with Servants who possess Guts effects, like Asclepius, Charlize Alter, and Marie Alter, are also effective. In particular, Ashwatthama's 'Last Resort' skill simultaneously provides a Guts effect and party charge increase, supporting both Shizuki Shojuro's Noble Phantasm usage and survivability. Key Points: 1. Improves combat endurance by granting the 'Guts' effect. 2. Utilize Servants and Mystic Codes with Guts effects. 3. Ashwatthama's skill simultaneously supports survival and Noble Phantasm usage.

Fans have raised several questions and expressed disappointment regarding the FGO final chapter's story.

Key Points: 1. Lack of narrative coherence and anticlimactic conclusion in the story progression. 2. Insufficient resolution of plot threads and unexplained settings. 3. Story truncation due to raid events and cancellation of character appearances.

Although Nasu Kinoko proclaimed 'we will solve all mysteries except one,' many players felt that only unresolved questions increased. Even after the conclusion, which felt like a single volume of a novel, many people felt the story was still ongoing. This leads to the opinion that it should be clarified as 'explanation' rather than 'completion'. From the players' perspective, only unresolved questions have piled up, and they feel frustrated not knowing whether these will be resolved in an epilogue or simply left unaddressed. Key Points: 1. Contrary to the proclaimed 'resolution of mysteries,' numerous unresolved questions have arisen. 2. Criticized as feeling like an 'explanation' rather than a 'completion'. 3. Frustration due to uncertainty about whether unresolved issues will be addressed in the epilogue.

Many opinions suggest that the final chapter's story felt like it exhausted all its energy. Some believe it would have been better to condense the content, and others criticize the jumbled mix of conclusions and plot threads. Surprise is expressed at the high demand for a perfect story even for a social game, and there is criticism that the conclusion of a game that has been serviced for 10 years should not be at a 'junk' level. Questions arise about the meaning of playing through the final chapter, with the point being made that at least the narrative consistency with previous stories should have been maintained. Key Points: 1. Criticism of the need for story condensation and the mixing of plot threads and conclusions. 2. Criticism of the 'junk' level conclusion and the demand for high story completeness despite being a social game. 3. Pointing out the lack of narrative consistency with previous stories.
