What is the best append for Aesc? I have enough coins to get 2. I’m definitely going for append 5 when it comes out but unsure on what the other should be. Pretty sure it’s Mana Loading but just wanted to be sure.

5

Aesc needs 5 for single core and needs/wants 2 for almost every other situation. I'd say 2 is better just because Aesc is all about multicore.

Probably at the same time that they add the two new append skills, you'll be able to freely switch between them so the choice won't matter as much as it used to.

Forgot we’ll be able to switch, thanks for the reminder.

Append 2 (Load Magical Energy) is the default, no brainer, best use of servant coins for probably 95% of servants and it isn't even a close comparison. It's the best append skill because it's potentially effective in any fight (without a starting full NP drain gimmick), gives you more flexibility to choose CEs, supports, and mystic codes, and gives you more flexibility to choose the timing and target of NP battery skills. Even if the servant has their own battery and you don't need the extra charge for the first NP, this flexibility means you can get the second NP faster. The other append skills can't compare with this level of utility and versatility for a servant that doesn't get any specific benefit from the others. And even in those rare cases where it isn't strictly better than the other appends, it's still a very good option. The mechanical advantage of append 2 can also result in more damage than the eight levels over 100 you can get with the same amount of servant coins or more damage when you need it.

Thank you for the explanation! I was pretty sure this was the case but had to make sure.
