Fate/Grand Order

Although the battle lasted much longer than the one in my earlier post, unlike the first battle, it didn't feel drawn out or monotonous. On the contrary, almost every turn was filled with intense tension; I had to constantly rack my brains trying to outsmart Da Vinci in this chess match from the Heroes of Might and Magic universe. In total, I spent about an hour and a half, but this wasn't even my first attempt; previous attempts also took anywhere from half an hour to fifty minutes on average. But I felt a significant sense of satisfaction. For the first time, I had to resort to "cheats" – closing and restarting the application if it became clear during a turn that something was going wrong. However, in this case, I don't consider it shameful for two reasons:
1) I didn't want to replay the battle after spending 20 minutes and making a small mistake.
2) The element of randomness turns this beautiful chess game into a coin toss, so it needs to be eliminated, even if by using these "dishonest" methods.
I was also pleased to level up BB – before this, I considered her complete garbage, but here she suddenly turned out to be the best Dimension Door spellcaster among all possible options. It was nice to watch both her animation and the amusing NPC.
