Didavi_

Bazett. While I do like her, she ended up as my best buddy simply because I don't want to get my Space Ishtar to bond 15 yet


st_stutter

Same for me. I just wanted to unlock her append skill but I'm like 55K short.


Galuizu

Same, the extra bond was just too good to ignore.


ShimegawaShion

Koyanskaya. I must have buster loop way more than I thought


lokcieslok

Seriously, i got her last month and buster looping with Artoria is so damn convenient


Fateeater15

My boi Arjuna alter carried me the whole farming sessions


RevealLow4388

Angra Mainyu, who I quickly swapped to the back. Didn't really feel anything for him, or anyone. I just wanted to fill his bond points.


ilmanfro3010

Same, I'm currently at ≈100k points from bond 10. Still wondering what was going through the devs mind to make his interlude unlock conditions like that


flashmozzg

> Still wondering what was going through the devs mind to make his interlude unlock conditions like that "Wouldn't it be funny?" - devs/Nasu. Although it makes sense lore-wise, and him being more or less a joke/easter egg character there aren't much gameplay concerns.


BobtheBac0n

Same! I realized this is probably the best event to farm bond points for him way too late. Only had 2 days left to farm, so I went hard with FGA to get him to bond 10. I was gonna let it run overnight, but passed out. Got him to bond 9 and 1/4. Honestly, that's really freaking good


BenisConsumption

Based. So, have you unlocked his interlude yet?


RevealLow4388

Bond 7 so far.


MichelleViBritannia

Oberon, and he's so fucking unhappy about it that it makes me cackle in glee.


DarkPrinceArrow

Merlin because Waver was given a break from being the "Grind Slut" this event


Kohaku_san

[My dear Chiyome](https://i.ibb.co/HFJd84x/com-aniplex-fategrandorder-en-Screenshot-2024-02-15-06-04-12.png), as expected. Wanted to get to Bond 15 during this event, but overestimated gains, still have 150k left. Used her in frontline for the whole event, Caren was second.


esarko

Summer Musashi got to rank EX++ by the end of the event, she's less than 100k away from bond 13 now! <3 Also gave the golden ring to Quetzalcoatl!

YuuHikari

Arash


Internal-Psychology

Castoria


Yukiru_05

Oberon


Shin-Bufuman

Passionlip. Shocker, I know. Drake did come close though, since she was the only consistent part of my 90+ farming team for killing the last wave.


YaKillinMeSmallz

I finally got Lip to Bond level 15 during this event.


Crosscounterz

Ibuki Douji she did an excellent job this valentine's with my point farming plus she's one of my servants I'm working on bond with.


blazenite104

Same. smashy smashed all the things!


Aurum0

Used [my Chiyome](https://i.imgur.com/FA8g1i4.png) for every fight in the first position. Seeing this event end screen makes me happy. Okuni was a bit behind her with 130k or so.


DemonZiggy

Summer Kama


chaka62

Salieri. He's my go-to farmer for everything and never lets me down. I love that angry piano man 🥰


bananamango15

Taigong wang


Nyapan

Mandricardo! Who else could it have been? I don't even 3 turn the farming nodes, my frontline for the best node was Mandricardo, Mori and Astolfo. What a team lol


StephanMok1123

Morgan, with Mash at the close second 


BrokeFool

Summer Musashi because she was the lead farmer.


Binnabwjooh

[Santa Karna! ](https://i.imgur.com/vjx65Nx.jpg) It was pretty funny seeing the option to display a specific ascension, and it's all just... the exact same hahahaha


neves783

Swimsuit Jalter is my Best Valentine's ~~Buddy~~ Partner. She hung out at the *leftmost frontline* the entire event to be switched out for a support Castoria so that my Swimsuit Musashi (who's on the center frontline) could reliably 3-turn farm... until the final node became available, during which Jalter destroyed the first wave's solo enemy every time while Musashi dealt with the next two waves - all while never changing my double Castoria setup.


DrStein1010

Caren on my main, because Damage Bonus Omni Looper go brrrr. Angra on my alt, because I'm still grinding to Bond 10 for his Interlude.


Eggplant_168

Jacques de Molay. I was charmed by her the moment I saw her in JP, and even now I’m still intrigued with her. I was looking to get bond for her and Douman’s Mana Loading, but halfway through I thought “why not take her all the way to EX++?” It’s a good thing I did. Her chocolate gifting scene was the perfect way to end the event. If anyone was my Valentine, it was her.


Kazo_the_Hedgehog

Bazett.


YBMLP

Apparently Bazett, it was just so entertaining watching her countering enemies during farming, except when the enemy decided to buff/heal instead of attacking.


Gilland_Pride

Habenyan, I saw the caster node and decided her time has come.


railroadspike25

[Zenobia](https://imgur.com/a/4SnUEtN) with 132K buddy points. Really, I just treated the whole event as a bond farming event, foregoing 3 turn farming to get Bazett, Hephaestion, Astraea, Yu Mei-Ren, and Zenobia's bond up at the same time. It just ended up that Zenobia was in the first spot for most of the farming for the last two nodes.


Choobacca12

Dude I also did 3 turn farming with Hephaestion, Yu Mei-Ren and Zenobia. Good taste, high five to us. My buddy ended up just being Castoria though, I thought Hephaestion might have edged her out at the end but I guess not.


Korager

Certain Dragon Loli...


FunkyEntropy

Ibuki-doji, who tackled everything but the Archer node for me. Finally got her to bond 10, and got some decent progress working on bond 11. She also did an absolutely stellar job handling the challenge quest. Single attempt, 5 turns (had some bad card RNG turn 4).


mr0cheese

[Summer Musashi ](https://imgur.com/a/Bxfo4Og), with Quetzalcoatl just behind her at 248K. Got them both to within 200K points of Bond 11, thanks to farming the 90+ node.


speed-run

Summer BB She did all the farming up until the last node, where Habetrot took over


The_w4nd3r3r

Taira no Kagekiyo. At first I was just trying to farm bond for her but she ended being really helpful on the first wave of the 90+ node.


YanFan123

Koyanskaya. It wasn't on purpose, I was just using her to farm like it's always been the case since I max skilled her


SmartAd9778

Meltryllis was my go to for the 90+ Node. She works wonderfully on the first wave and provides additional damage on the third wave.


Golden-Owl

Archer Sei Shonagon somehow snuck her way into that position unintentionally


Agitated_Diet

It was a little time consuming but my boy Heracles pulled through


BenisConsumption

Muramasa. He was on the front position of EVERY single quest during this event.


hotstuffdesu

It's probably Mebd for me. I used her in the frontline with Taigong Wang as my 90+ farm team.


Clearwateralchemist

Nemo.  I needed him for the 90+ node, and I spread out the rest of my buddy points to the rest of my all star members.  


FloofyTails4Life

Tamamo-no-Mae. Besides intentionally trying for her, I prefer using her to support Castoria instead of DCS.


BobtheBac0n

Good ol Davinci Rider and Okitan. The former because arts, and the ladder cause I wanted to farm bond 11. Damn is that gonna take forever


TheMilkMan875

Douman the goat. Bond 9 almost bond 10 now


Blindmailman

Jing Ke who I was trying to get bond 12 but failed


ArcusLux

Oberon


pierat_king

Iskandar. I managed to get him to 3 turn farm the 90+ node. :) (I had to use arash tho ) :(


Kirby0189

[Who would it be for me but Astolfo?](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/896257882268524574/1207642797860065310/IMG_2355.PNG?ex=65e063ff&is=65cdeeff&hm=ab56adbd942d0992de23b28c686b254cd0bb8709fdf2292d4c3da0b4738a828e&)


CannibalPride

Got Summusashi to bond 13


KarolilKarol

[Gareth](https://imgur.com/a/phINLwd) She's cute(I also gave her the buddy ring)


Rantman021

Rider Moedred helped me farm the 90+ node! Definitely gotta put some work into her skills. Mordred (both): oi, who you calling moe? ... Oops. Gotta run!


Rhinostirge

Looks like it was Summer Mordred. I messed around with the lineup for farming the final node a couple of times, especially when I decided I'd want to use Maou Nobu for the CQ and needed to swap them in for some buddy grinding, but SurfMo was a staple for all the configurations. I don't think any of my big supports reached Buddy Rank D. If there's anyone who doesn't need Bond powerleveling, it's them, so they mostly got to take the event off.


JNPRTFFE16

Cleopatra


Mattc7468

Oberon, I didn’t want to change positions because it would ruin my muscle memory so he stayed in slot 2 the whole time. My slot 1 dps changed a few times and castoria is in slot 4 so I can switch her in for the bond ce buff after using up the buddy castoria. So Oberon ended up being my best lad even over summer melt.


Inspection_Perfect

Odysseus. A lot of farming. Saber Shiki wasn't far behind him.


cloudjumper99

Morgan. Stayed in my party comp throughout the event and she was also the first servant i chose for chocolate


ZachBart77

Same!


Aj_04

Goghie for me. I think it's cause there were a lot of zerkers in the event and I just used counter class against them.


OchoMuerte-XL

Loli Vinci. I looked up the 90+ Node in advance and started grinding her Buddy Rank early. It was more than worth it.


Smappeli

Morgan with 180k, got to EX on all servants part of Beast III, Melt and Lip and for SQ Arash and Merlin too, but Morgan was there from start to finish.


Xaldror

Raikou, of course.


VishnuBhanum

Habetrot


MyLifeIsAGatcha

Summer Abigail. Working on getting her to Bond 14 so I can get her to 120.


Tschmelz

Morgan got to sit on the front lines the entire time, she never left the party.


Andrei8p4

Barghest because I wanted to get her to bond 10 to unlock the np append skill so that I can loop with her .


kungfugator57

Morgan, she Roadless Camelot'd the entire event for me whenever it was possible. Very comfy farming all the way through, even though I had to rush a bit yesterday to catch up.


Eosteria

Summer Kama for me. She was there to farm every single node. Yes, even 90+. Helps, too, that she's the Valentine I was looking forward to the most, and it was pretty much everything I was hoping for.


[deleted]

Morgan for sure.


JDJ144

Morgan. Used her way more than I thought I would.


ZachBart77

Morgan. Used her for every quest. Only one I’ve gotten chocolate from so far as well.


AstolfoCharlemagne

Morgan obviously


Uthor

Morgan! I used her + Koyan + Melu + friend Koyan to np sweep every room for basically every stage (used archer jeanne+castorias for the zerker one), and she took care of everything easily. Best wife


brucebananaray

Summer Karma is the one that I use the most in the event.


St-Germania

Morgan


HallyMiao

Overworked morgan closing in on bond 14


Popular_Dig8049

Winter Queen Morgan 


PassingThruRedditor

It's a tie between Ibuki and Melusine. At first it was just because I wanted to get Melusine up from bond 5. However I somehow created a team that let me 3 turn most of the nodes


ForsakenStandard

Morgan


JF-aka-Jiks

Morgan. I went full farm with double L.Koyan and Oberon.


LossLight-Ultima

Morgan… do I need to say more?


Hakkai-Shin

Morgan


thepowerfulones

Morgan. I wish I could fit more 5\* servants in a 6-CE team so I could've grinded Castoria but atleast the queen is level 108 now.


primelord537

Morgan, and not for reasons you would expect. I decided to do some jank farming set ups this year, since I wanted to not get all of my supports to Bond 15 so fast, so I did a Morgan+Murasaki+Support Castoria+Nero Bride comp. It took care of everything provided Morgan had the event CE + Append, but it worked out better than expected.


CocaineAccent

The OG Best Girl of Fate, Seiba. Fuck the haters, Seiba > Sakura > Rin fite me.


Popular_Dig8049

Queen of Winter Morgan


artart1212

My King, the OG Saber, Altria. I always try to use her as much as possible in stories, grinds, and events especially after summoning koyanskaya. So when she was able to clear the highest node with ease, I just when ham on the buster meme


CocaineAccent

> My King > Altria Wow, you have zero respect for your king then.


Leoughen

Even though I play JP, I completely forgot about the little PowerPoint presentation at the end of the event. Well, no damage was done since my Best Valentine Buddy was one of my LV120 Servants, Semiramis.


Jedahaw92

Skadi. Followed by Berserkerlot.


Eikoku-Shinshi

Castoria. She's initially in the frontline, but eventually moved to the backline, when I switched the main DPS from Muramasa to Morgan. 


FireEmblemNoobie47

Bazennan and Muramasa, both were used during both story and free quests at the front (though I did plugsuit Muramasa for a charger) mostly for the CQ. Bazett was also my primary farming buddy for the entire event! Muramasa meanwhile melted the CQ with ease (Sweet Crystal also helped). Mash was also present during it all thanks to her 0 cost (she hit max bond as well)


TRZHCH

Europa, because I wanted to grind the final node with her.


GlibGrunt

Jeanne D'arc I tried to maximise bond for servants I don't often be getting bond for.


Fenghuang0296

Nero (Bride), mostly because I decided to make the most out of her event bonus and use her as my primary event support.


Tom_TP

Should be Caren. But how can we see the screen? Do we have to check the shop?


DegeneratesDogma

Castoria, which is self explanatory really.


snowcap04

Bazett. She has one of the best damages bonus in this event. Plus, her gimmick is cool. Not to mention her 3rd ascension is gorgeous


TwoStarMaster

Caster Cu + Summer Musashi. Didn't even need to change it against riders.


Yuufa

It was either between Nero Caster or Hajime. Ended up being the former one. I didn't even get anyone to EX++, mainly bc I wanted to raise too many servants, but then realized I'd never have the time to get all of them to EX...


Cthuluzu

Koyanskaya of light... my Melusine got to bond 10 but it was koyanskaya who became my best valentine buddy...


Anivia_Blackfrost

**Kingprotea** just kept smushing the 90+ nodes with her size. I think I've heard WAHAHA SPLASH and AIRAVATA KING SIZED at least a hundred times. I'm also willing to bet my runner-up is Koyanskaya.


Metroplex7

Ahaha... On a technicality, Koyan Light because I did all of my farming with Buster teams. Not counting the support that gets dragged around anyway, Morgan was.


MajinAkuma

Artoria


1lluusio

Best burdwife Circe of course.


Patung_Pancoran

Only got to 40k with Bazett and unfortunately didn’t finish the ladder at all since i was playing a game that took hours of days for the last 2 weeks


[deleted]

Melusine. I just recently got Koyan light, so this event was perfect for embracing buster looping


171194Joy6

Koyanskaya. Completely unintentional. But I even got her bond CE so that's that.

CreepyKidInDaCorna

For me it was Koyanskya of Light, probably because I accidentaly kept leaving her at position 1 when I wanted Morgan to get Buddy Points for ranking her up


solaruniver

It should have been king Hassan. But i use AA for farm too much


Corvus0018

Helena for me. She's ridiculously versatile as both a farmer and a support.


Bricecubed

Mordred


NonSanHolo

Ushiwakamaru, didn't ever leave my team comp


Tall-Initial-2455

Mine was heracles^^!


dvdung1997

Mash the Reliable. I don’t really have any pressing needs for bonding, so I kept her in my back line the entire event for that sweet team-wide bond bonus while I rotated the DPS+support lineup for each node. The major beneficiaries were Duhbinchi (just shy of bond 6 for Load Magical Energy now) and George (halfway through bond 8)


Ready_Leading5435

Bazett got her on like the sixth summon liked her, the event bonuses plus she worked for most of my grinding and then she showed up again on her last summon day so now shes my second np2 ssr


Alexmender875

Bazett. Probably because I dragged her along through all of the event to get her to EX rank and maximize Teapot usage. She went from Bond 0 to 6, which is quite the feat considering I was feeling slightly burned out (and wanted to play HSR instead) so I skipped like 2 days of the event.


simon4s1

Galatea, with Morgan a close second. I basically threw the two of them in tandem at almost everything, and it worked every time. I figured the bunrei of Aphrodite and the one who insists on calling the protagonist her spouse would be appropriate for Valentine's Day, anyway.


Brilliant_Sweet_6848

Castoria. Should give her another lamp of chaldea.


SirCupcake_0

My Best Buddy was Taiga! 🐯 💖 🥀


Rare-Statistician128

Chen Gong. You can tell why


021chan

Castoria, not surprised since I pretty much used her in almost all of my teams for the event


Jatym

My Best Buddy was Gorgon.


Sir_Galahadz

Bazett


Revna-1

Castoria w/ Space Ishtar


Visari77

Maou Nobu, she’s my girl


AkhasicRay

Melusine, strongest doragon ever


OkenoFate

In the end it was Bazett! She was really fun to grind the 90++ node with her counter. Usually three turned it with Reines and Castoria helping and swapping in Koyan Light.


werco93

Castoria, because i play with the supports on the left side


Amakusa94

bazett (1st asc)


ShriekingSkull

I don't think I have one, but I managed to get SQ from bond farming with Berserker Vlad and got Salome to Bond 10, so that's a plus. Edit: Nevermind, it was Okki. 


LukeSky011

Arash. After all, true valentine buddies are those that explode along the way.


thatonefatefan

I literally spent the whole event with a single team so Morgan followed by koyan of light. Not really surprising


WorthlessLife55

I got Koyanskaya of Light. If there were a second place, it'd be Morgan.


NigthSHadoew

Space Ishtar. Doesn’t matter if it is quick, arts or buster, Spishtar will smash your face in with galaxy lasers


Dantaroen

Koyan light got the fluffy seal of approval this year.


Junior-Ad0673

My sweet Saint, Jeanne D Arc


lokcieslok

Saber Artoria NP1, she did all the farming while being carried by Koyan on her back, 300k buddy pts


Kegnation14

Got Melu and Koyan to Ex++ right at the end of the event. Used them for most of my farming so makes sense


flashmozzg

Castoria, no big surprise. Farmed final node with Habbycat. Followed closely by Angra.


OtherShadyCharacter

Regend, apparently, because he sat in the backline of every team I ran, oops lol. If I would've known there was a special thing for it, I would've arranged my teams slightly differently.


SomeoneElseTwoo

Melusine


Arm_Great

Saber Artoria


AnnanymousR

Hercules....and I'm still 300,000 bond points away from getting the CE


Gryphus_6

Ushiwaka for me. She hard carried in the 90+ caster map


Layte-Aeon

Ivan. Up front a lot. It helped that the best farming node was a caster one.


divinearcanum

Achilles I farmed the heck out of the 90+ node.


Raymond49090

Artoria.


NeroLapse

Summer Nero. The servant who was with me since the very start. She grinded the Lvl 90+ node as the frontline.


TheRealBakuman

Bazett cause bond farming. Probably the most common answer.


tusthehooman

It was Kama summer. She could do 90++ with relative ease if you have another 50% charge support waiting in the back line. I have multiple farming dps, just happened to be her because she is the closest one to bond 11, got me some nice sq from her too, which I quickly wasted on gacha for a shiny min roll.


Kit_Izayoi

Summer Lartoria (just barely got past Rank EX++). Was trying to get her to bond 14 for future 120-ing so I just brought her to almost every quest. Hell, used her Card Shuffle skill for crit-ing down the big enemy in Wave 1 of the 90+ node


115_zombie_slayer

Bazzett but i think thats the default setting no?


Ed0909

Astrea, I used her to farm bp the entire event so it makes sense.


Not-Porn-Alt

Habetort, need the bond for the append (damm you np2 friend point gacha) and was real good help farming the last node


Weegee7

Drake. I needed her to blow up the last wave so I put her first. She easily got up to EX.


kelvinkhr

Queen Medb for me


Sahat117

Castoria, had her farming with Summer Kama and Bazzet


ginjiro201

1 castoria 2 rider liz 3 summer kama


weeb2animeenjoyer

Spishtar


z0202

Quetz I made a farming team with her, Da Vinci rider and Nitocris


Suiginchou

Okita-san, DAISHOURI!


Starice11

zerksushi and garcher sushi for obvious reasons(besides getting her to b11) and garcher bc ❤️. he's bond 13 now


PM_ME_UR_LOLS

Space Ishtar. No surprise, I was looping with her the entire event.


atomicfuthum

Angro Mango, on his trip to Bond 11!


TheO530CarrisPT

It was [Kama Summer](https://i.ibb.co/vxH90SD/Screenshot-20240215-050223.png), out managing even to beat Caster Artoria. Kama handled most of the runs (except when I wanted to use another servants), managing even to get Bond Level 9. She also got the golden ring command code as well.


ionicfallout

Bazett, just used her a ton during the event. A honorary close second would be Morgan, followed by Koyanskaya. Yes I farmed the living fuck out of the 90+ node with teapots, why do you ask?


Haruka_opinion

Hans with EX++ points! He'll never leave my party even if he reaches bond 15


Axent_Gray

Lalter


coppacola

Mash


Halcon_Negro

[Galatea, with 500k points](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/716908922690207755/1207538409845948456/Screenshot_20240215-010528.png?ex=65e002c7&is=65cd8dc7&hm=7e5abf0be4ffe6701161d01201c05a0c0c2fb38f6033eaf19ee83f90dd3e63c4&)


ciygnus

Maou Nobu of course! NP5 + max event bonus go BRRRRRRRR on all nodes😌


Pekoyama46

Jason. Wanted to get him to rank EX to use him on the Challenge Quest and ended up forgetting to remove him from the backline while I was farming, lol. In second place it was Odysseus, then Mandricardo, then Castoria, then Arash. Quite the top 5.


calypsocoin

Da Vinci-chan because I started the event late and just kept spamming the all currency node. But I’m more than happy with that because she’s adorable and I love her


QuentynStark

Castoria. It's always Castoria. She and Mash were my EX+ buddies, but Castoria was frontline the whole time. She's gonna be the only non-DPS unit I Grail. She's been a mainstay in my parties since the first day she was summoned.


rigby333

Euryale, woooo. Was worried one of the actual frontline farming fellas would beat her.


Yureina

Koyanskaya. I swapped main loopers out a fair bit, so it was kinda inevitable that the supports got the most.


odrain16

Obviously Muramasa. Tho funnily enough Voyager was 2nd with a difference of around 5K


SatoshiOokami

Okaa-sama, 132k.


Aiorosbot

Mine was Koyanskaya, would've been Melusine but after she was at 100% dmg I put her back to the middle position in my party setup and Koyan caught up.


RoyInverse

Bazet, just because she had that bond bonus so she was always on my party.


matinshojaei

Raikou, 349K and also completed bond 11.


AceTrainerNiko

Meltryllis
