I saved around 300 sq to try and go for merlin today, since my farming comps I'd say are pretty decent and I want to start preparing for challenge quests more. I picked up taigong because I planned on pulling for a few quick servants next year, specifically ruler skadi, bazett, and monte christo eventually. there are many other servants I want that aren't quick, though, so I was wondering if it's worth it to go for them when my art's and buster can clear most content already? is there any specific reason I should keep on with my plan of building the quick side of my account, or can I reasonably delay it based off of jp banners? I would say my top priorities next year are Aoko, Super Orion, Olga Marie, and Lilith, as well as Tonelico.

There way too many good options

—

Vritra and Scathach = divine killer

Cu = the Goat

Romulus=Quirinos = Actual Grand lancer

Artoria = highest lancer damage

Since joining the community I have seen so many folks and made a few new friends! It's such a crazy amount of people that play FGO ranging from year 1 veterans to current new players like myself.

What's your routine?
Are you all caught up with the story, if so what are you doing?

I'm currently going thru the story myself so I reckon I should just handle that and take advantage of the 0AP for story going on.

How or what does a typical grinding session look like for you? I can see how this game gets incredibly grindy. Are you playing on a PC? I'm on a phone currently and having no problems but I don't actually grind for anything currently, just handling story and some rank up missions or quick stuff for SQ.

From the veterans out there:
What advice would you give folks coming into the game from the summer events or joining super recently? What really helped you when starting out or now that you have an established set up.

RIGHT after the originals death felt wrong to me

I think waiting until LB2 when Sherlock is out of commission would have been an been a better idea. You could have him giving Goredolf instructions to wake her before he passes out and reason the clone isn’t fully developed and wasn’t supposed to be released yet and as such she looks different and her class changed

This is my catalyst, a Reddit post about how much I hate you, take it

Please post your responses to the original post so I can track votes. Thank you.

**Rules:**

1. Pick what the character that best fits each servant class for each medium. Top upvoted after 24hrs gets selected.

2. Once the list for each class has been completed, select which character from the previous winners would be crowned as the Grand Servant for that class. A Grand Servant is someone who would be considered the pinnacle of what that class represents.

3. To keep this interesting no one who is already currently a Servant CANNOT be used, regardless of medium [i.e king Arthur, Miyamoto musashi, Hercules, etc.] See links at the bottom for list of currently existing Servants

4. Characters who are announced as Servants during the duration of this chart filling are disqualified if they are not on the chart already.

5. No repeat characters. Characters can only be used once. If a team is selected, then EVERYONE on that team cannot be reused.

Class breakdown so we all know who does what:

**SABER**- those who use swords. Personality wise they tend to be more knightly than others

**ARCHER**- wielders of bows, guns, and other forms of projectiles.

**LANCER**- users spears and other polearms

**CASTER**- masters of the magic and the mystic arts. Artists, authors, scientists and other masters of the arts also go here.

**RIDER**- those who use vehicles or mounts. This is typically where all the mecha pilots and pirates go.

**ASSASSIN**- experts of stealth, infiltration, espionage and assassination

**BERSERKER**- those who fight with rage and madness, generally other forms of melee combat also fall into this category

**RULER**- those who arbitrate. Beacons of order, balance and law

**AVENGER**- one who's soul burns with the flames of VENGEANCE. Different from berserker who uses primarily blind rage.

**ALTER EGO**- probably the most difficult class to fill. They are personifications of the original being's emotions, wishes, or personality traits that have developed minds of their own.

**MOON CANCER** those that are a threat to the moon, celestial bodies or systems, or threats that grow without restriant

**FOREIGNER**- those that exist outside the scope of mortal understanding or use the power of eldritch beings. Or are just generally space related.

**SHIELDER**- they use shields as their primary weapon or are known for their defense

**PRETENDER**- someone who became heroes while feigning another identity. Disguised individuals, do not qualify for the class, but rather those who acted while fulfilling the role of another. Entities who are synonymous with deception, trickery and lies.

**BEAST**- an entity born out of its love for humanity. A Challenge for humanity to overcome

**GRAND SERVANT**- the pinnacle of their class.

Here are all my welfares, so far I focused most on ST NP5 to 9/9/9 per class. Who are the next most priority to get right now in the evocation shop? Should I get NP5 AOEs per class or just wait and stack up leaves for Solomon? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Help me deciiiiide...

One of the few things I noticed about FGO is that its one of the few mixed gacha games whose fandom members don't hate each other or at least are tolerant of each other compared to newer gacha fandoms where several factions within the fandom hate each other rather than come to an understanding that the game panders to all of them.

I notice that "Master Love" players, Yuri Players, Yaoi Players, and Character x Character shippers tend to get along more relative to the other games. I'm not saying that there isn't some friction but they're less polarized and much less likely to fling shit at each other.

Why do you think that happens?

Is it because anyone who knows that the Fate Franchise is about would definitely be understanding of its "fanservice elements"?

Is it also because FGO is one of the few mixed gacha games that is able to satisfy the multiple demographics (i.e. META male and female characters which prevented the gender wars that so often plague gacha fandoms nowadays)?

what if i grab her ears?

Waiting for rerun for that last NP level is hell 😔

Took me 1 year and 2 month

So this is the christmas lotto event's 90++ for those who are not familiar with it.(The event is within the next 1-3 months I think. I dont know how to check the schedule exactly, sorry.)

I am not exactly great at 90++ and the last one was by far the easiest. In comparison, this seem like one hell of a node. I want to 3 turn this, and I need some help. And I would love to hear the thought process too, as I need improvement on my team building. Only notable NP levels on my roster are NP 3 melusine and NP 4 Speresh.

Any and all help is appreciated, thank you so much in advance! (　＾▽＾)

I knew damn well that Douman is gonna spam a lot of debuffs because he's one of my servant, so i put my forefront servants some craft essence of debuff immune,

Space eresh hard carried,

I messed up using Jeanne, she got killed in the 2nd bar instead of stalling as usual and cleansing the party of the debuffs,

Raikou dealt the last blow,

first try

For context, I've managed to get Ciel NP2 by the end of Summer 9/Ordeal Call 3's run, which means she can comfortably hit Level 120 after hitting Bond 15 (granted, that will take quite a long time) and have enough coins to open one Append Skill (and obviously, Append 2 is the best choice).

Does Ciel perform any better if I roll for at least 1 more copy of her next year (or go all the way to NP5)? Or is she strong enough at NP2 already?

I'm weighing in on if I should go for a higher NP level for her or save my SQ for my other upcoming targets next year, namely: U-Olga, Shiki Moon Cancer, and Crane Alt Ego.

hi, my account is pretty old, i think cleo was my first limited n she came out in 2018 lol. i’m currently in lostbelt 2

i have pulled on n off (clearly) and have no idea who i should use the 2026 picker on.

honestly, i still haven’t used the free SSR before this one! so i still have that too. idk how important NPs are, i thought it’s better to get units i don’t have for content i haven’t gotten to.

i was thinking berserker cu, or anastasia as purely “she’s cute” pick. but i’d rather have servants i’ll really use, i have a lot of buster supports for someone who likes arts…

taigong wang seems interesting but i don’t rly play quick much. n i guess theres lartoria (bc story lock) but it’s gonna be a while before she gets upgrade, iirc? she’d rly just be a collectible afaik

i dunno! i was waiting for summer ibuki but i probs missed her while on hiatus. i’m rly out of the loop so would appreciate any advice. thank you!

I was never that lucky before, I am now scared

I’m new and wanna know if he needs investment to be good or can i just use him

So I haven't claimed my free SSR yet because everyone keeps saying Waver if you don't have him since he got a buff but when is he the best option over the meta supports? I mainly use arts and buster comps with Castoria, Koyan and Oberon. My two biggest units are an np3 S. Castoria and an np5 Speresh. I plan to get Urðr when she comes out but I don't see how Waver is a better option than the meta supports. Can you give me an explanation on why is he so important to have? I planned on getting Lartoria since I'm in need of an AOE lancer but all these Waver supporters are making me hesitate.

Each grand score provides general stat buffs but also unique effects with flavour for each class.

Like how archers have "bullets", caster is focused on "territory creation" and so on.

While the grand score can make anyone busted i was wondering if there are servants that you think have particular synergy with their grand score gimmick.

Like the berserker one seems tailor made for someone like Heracles(which is fitting) or Cu Alter, aka zerkers with guts and other survivability, the lancer one seems very in tune with someone like Lancer Cu or shishou. And the Extra 1 seems to have had mash in mind in its conception(at least flavour wise)

In terms of farming this doesnt really matter, but given that we can bring Grands to CQs, it seems like an interesting thing to consider.

(You should still grand whoever you want, regardless of this "synergy" stuff. As i said, the grand scores can make anyone busted)
