How is the Count of Monte Cristo in FGO? An introduction to the strength of the new servant, the Count of Monte Cristo.

FGO recently released a new servant, "The Count of Monte Cristo, King of the Cavern," a 5-star Avenger with green cards, which is completely consistent with the old Count in terms of class, star rating, Noble Phantasm type, and card color distribution. Some players are wondering how good the FGO Count of Monte Cristo, King of the Cavern, is. Below, we will briefly introduce this new servant from aspects such as stats, skills, and comparisons within the same class, and provide draw recommendations. If you're still hesitating about whether to draw him or not, take a look.

In terms of stats, the Count ranks tenth in attack across the entire game and third among 5-star Avenger servants, indicating a commendable overall offensive capability. At the same time, his HP ranks seventh, also showing relatively good durability. Additionally, the Count possesses the Chaos attribute, allowing for perfect compatibility with related buffs, further enhancing his own strength. His single blue NP rate is 2.16, at a moderate level. Despite the Noble Phantasm having an excellent 10-hit count, the NP recovery ability of a single-target green card Noble Phantasm is quite average, resulting in relatively weaker overall NP cycling ability.

The Count's Noble Phantasm is a single-target green card attack that comes with invincibility penetration, stun, and burn effects, while also stacking special attacks. After releasing the Noble Phantasm, it applies a 10% defense reduction for three turns on the enemy, and gives the Count a 500-point burn effect for three turns. In high-difficulty scenarios, if a 200% special attack multiplier can be successfully stacked, the damage output will be very impressive. However, in farming environments, since special attacks need to be stacked to reach their maximum effectiveness, the practical value is somewhat limited.

The Count's skill set is also very comprehensive. The first skill provides a 30% red and green card performance boost for three turns, along with an invincibility effect that can be used twice within three turns, balancing offense and survival. The second skill offers a 30% attack increase for three turns, inflicts a 500-point burn effect when attacking for three turns, and also grants poison immunity and three times debuff resistance, further enhancing resistance against negative statuses. The third skill is equally strong, featuring a 50% NP charge, a 50% critical damage boost for three turns, and 1000% star weight, significantly boosting the Count's critical hit capabilities.

The class skills are also outstanding, including a 19% increase in NP gain from being hit, a 9% decrease in debuff resistance for allies, a 12% increase in critical damage, and a 3% NP gain per turn, providing better sustainability and offensive power in actual combat.

In summary, the FGO Count of Monte Cristo, King of the Cavern, has very solid stats. His skill set covers high attack buffs (30% red and green card performance + 30% attack increase), critical enhancement (50% critical damage + 1000% star weight), 50% self-charge, and the ability to inflict burn effects during attacks, ensuring the stable activation of his Noble Phantasm's special attack. In addition, he has survival means such as invincibility, poison immunity, and debuff immunity, making his overall strength quite well-rounded. He is a middle choice between Black Saber and Taira no Kiyomori. However, considering the current weakness of green cards, if you have enough resources, you can draw him; otherwise, you may wait for next year's rerun to draw him.
