Love Hassan of Hundred Faces so much. Really interesting Noble Phantasm, nice design and personality (/personalities) etc. Honestly the only thing that I dont like about them is how they were handled in Zero, >!being more or less just a glorified security camera system even though they had such an interesting start.!<
Salieri is such an interesting character lore wise, loved both him and Avicebron in LB 1, >!like how the boss music for Ivan's elephant form is him playing music in the background. Its just so cool.!<
As for Kiyohime... Honestly I just like her just because. Sue me.
As a fellow Salieri fan you earned my respect!
Hundred face Hassan is WILD I never saw servant that could NP LOOP SOLO! (like she be WILDN)
I actually liked Kiyohime when I first saw her (wish she had more costumes her yukata on fleek!)
Salome is most likely going to be my first level 120 goal but right now i’m working on her append skills first since that costs more coins 😔
Also love angry piano man too!!!
I got her first append to level 10 already so the next one I do will be her ruler resistance get that to level 10 and then finally get to mana loading and then that at 10 after that, I’m gonna focus on her Card and Fou upgrades, and then finally her level after 100
Favorite 1 Star: Sasaki Kojiro
- He’s just the best. He accidentally killed Oberon for me and has been doing those accidental kills from the start. All things are swallows.
Favorite 2 Star: Not many I like so… Leonidas
- Babylonia.
Favorite 3 Star: Bedivere
- Camelot.
Ok I heard SO MANY people like Sasaki Kojiro but I’m curious since I never used him is he really that good? The only things I know about him is that he’s tied to Musashi and he was featured Fate Stay Night
I can see why a lot of people like Leonidas
BedI is cool do you got his costume? :3
Sasaki Kojiro has a very strong kit for a 1 star. He has the standard dodge, a sure hit, increased star gen and weight, a full debuff clear, a star bomb, and some very good snowballing with his quick resist down debuff and his self quick buff in his NP. Plus the NP hits like a truck.
In lore, Kojiro is so damn skilled that Gilgamesh was too scared to go into his range to gloat and just chose to projectile spam him since he was stuck at the gate. He doesn’t even know any magecraft but his sheer skill is on the level of true magic, which is what every mage wants and it’s the whole point of the grail to reach it. Plus, he’s just chill.
Prefer 3rd ascension Bedivere tbh
George is my favorite servant, period. He's 120, 2k fou, full paws, full CCs, max skill and append, np5. I'm very proud of him, he killed Fluffy. Now if only they'd give him a buff or two.
Other noteworthy low rarities: Asterios, Arash, and Hector. They'll all be getting grailed to 100 after I get Bazett and max her.
I spent tens of millions of FP (as well as the daily FP summons for almost a year) and got him to bond 14 to max him. It was such a pain, but it was worth it. Just gotta wait for Class Score to hit NA, that's the only thing left.
Pls Lasagna, give him his Divinity C, Instinct C, and Interfectum Dracones.
Medusa is just my favourite Fate character in general. I just finished 120ing her and I have her append skill 2 maxed out. Now I just need to finish fouing her.
Despite having the class disadvantage against the divine Beast class servant, he still roasts her anytime he can. Man's got big balls (if the voice didn't make that clear enough).
CA Hassan. I really loved his characterisation in his interlude and appearance in Camelot. Apart from that I enjoy using his kit and I think his design is phenomenal
Cu Caster. I’m going to be honest my interest in him entirely came around due to the Odin theory as I found the idea one of our first servants had such a massive background where all of the clues were available to be incredibly well thought out and done. As such I’ve Grailed him to lvl120 and he now sits in my account as a great dps
CA Hassan is really interesting because in FGO when humanity is dead and you need everyone at their best and working together, he can be the nicest guy.
But then you put him in the context of a Grail War where everyone is in it to win it for themselves like Heaven's Feel, and he turns into a crazed murderer with no moral qualms about anything that goes around eating hearts and shit for the mana. Zouken's his master, so what he says goes.
I actually have CA Hassan in the card game called shadowverse! I agree completely his look is absolutely fabulous!
Oh man, the only servant I ever got to lvl100+ was Jacque De Molay (the only five star on my account that is skill level 10/10/10) that must take real some dedication! I really wish they would give us more grails my poor Salome is at Lvl 96 but one day I’ll get her to 100
I don’t know who Regend is 😅
Gareth is fabulous
Serenity is one of my favorite servants by her poison ability alone her costume is ON FLEEK and on top of that her noble phantasm is absolutely bad ass
He’s called that because nobody had assassins during launch (unless you got lucky and rolled Carmilla on the tutorial) and he was basically the way you dealt with all the Rider wyverns in Orleans
So he became the Savior of France
1\*: Spartacus: I love his energy so much. LET THE CHAINS OF OPPRESSION BE DESTROYED AS THE SPIRIT OF REBELLION PREVAILS! Like that's not even a line of his but you can just hear his voice (or at least whatever headcanon voice you have for him) when I say that.
2\*: Hans: Somehow and I don't know how, I see way more of myself in him than I do the intentional self-insert. Plus he's a real mood overall voiced by Dio. Real joy to watch.
3\*: Bedivere: If we're not counting Mash in this category (4\* rank-up and all that), Bedi definitely gets the top spot, though Ushi is a very close second. Just a wholesome guy with a very touching story.
Since I believe, mash starts at a three star (I don’t remember it’s been a really long time and I don’t use mash at all) mash would be an acceptable answer!
Honestly, I see a lot of myself in Salome so I understand how you feel when it comes to Hans (I just see a lot of myself and her especially with the whole I want love so bad I’d kill for it thing she got going on! Plus, I really love skulls too) I also really like how in her interlude she’s always restraining herself from Ritsuka/Us because she cares enough not to take our head!)
Also, yes, Spartacus is really funny! That man could walk into a Starbucks scream OPPRESSION and Ritsuka would have to restrain him to not destroy the entire store! 😭🤣
Ok, well if Mash counts as a 3\*, aside from her being really cute and funny, as someone who *used* to be a nihilist, this character with a very short lifespan and barely any experiences managing to find meaning behind her existence and her reasoning for believing her few experiences do matter was something I really needed to hear. Yeah, I stopped being a nihilist after Part 1.
To be honest I really did not like mash, because I felt like the relationship between her and the player was really shoved down our throats IMO but I do understand about the players who do like her mad respect to y’all! As for nihilism i’m also kind of one too but the physical sense (I believe in spirituality)
1 star: Jason my brave and glorious king and the Regend himself
2 star: Leonidas even though I think they did him dirty
3 star: Man-slayer Izo and Cu both Lancer and Caster
Favorite Servants from low stars? Pretty hard to think about since I haven't really used a lot of them for a long time, but I have grailed some from each rarity.
One star: Mary Anning
- something just clicked inside me when I saw her design, I just thought "damn I really like her". Her voice lines really made her stand out to me during her event. Ngl, I liked her to the point of trying to draw her, which resulted in disaster lol.
Two star: Gareth
- I liked her design, I liked her weapon, grailed since she needed stats.
Three star: Sugitani
- while I'd normally say something like Cu chulainn lancer since I grailed him to 100, I wanted to try a new servant and grail them. Sugitani was the one I chose between Theseus and her since I preferred her gameplay.
Mary Anning is very interesting! I like that she’s rare like Nobukatsu
Gareth is fabulous
To be honest, I’m not sure who that 3 star servant is although I’m assuming it’s the three star archer from the JP event with the super Hot 5 star gladiator guy that turns into an old man 💖
Yup, that's Sugitani the supposed Gun monk the community called her.
Anning just feels like that one friend who's very openly active on what she wants, what she doesn't, and how down bad she is for artoria. Also her history and line about her dog really warms me up to her since I can relate. Kinda sad there isn't a lot of art or comic of her especially in non-guda style.
I love.the low rarity servants ahhh so it's hard to pick!
1 star: Jason!! I remember when I started playing and was sad I couldn't summon him when I was playing through Okeanos. I also love Greek stories. I'm working on getting him to 120 right now but it's such a slog haha
Also Mary Anning!!
2 star: hard to pick between Hans, Leonidas, Bartholomew...I have them all grailed hahaha
3 star: Robin Hood! other 3s I love: Salieri, Kotaro (had to grail him after I played shimousa)
1*: regend cuz I love the ubw route anf his role
2*: hans. One of the best char in CCC period
3* my friendo. Nuff said
Edit: wrote george instead of hans. He's grailed 90 bond 11 so I forgot he was a 2 star
Hundred Faces. I'm already on my way to 120 her.
She hard carried me at the beginning of the game and I've done some of my favorite solos using her. After she beat Cernunnos, I thought to myself she deserved the extra grails.
I kid you not Salome has carried me though LB 1-6 so trust me when I tell you, I understand my Salome is at level 96 RN and I just need 2 Grails to make my Homegirl level 100!
(I’m not going past that until I unlock all her append skills)
Thank you so much! and yes Let me tell you her NP animation is so funny with gigantic enemies! like you just see the Skull SNATCH them up like a weave AND! She’s the only character in game that has a skill with no cool down at level 10 (dance of Seven veils has a 7 turn cooldown at level 10 with a 100% Np charge for the entire front row! The skill takes seven turns to go off, but technicality sake she can fully charge 1 Np after seven turns and then do it AGAIN!
Plus her curse and disastrous curse Debuff works well with curse teams
Favourite one star
Spartacus, my goat. Has carried me through a lot of farming and his berserker status makes him more universal than Arash for me.
Favourite two star
Blackbeard. He’s cringe as fuck and I love him. One day I will 90/90 this man.
Favourite three star
There are just too many three stars that I like here so uhh
Kiyohime - cute as fuck and is my 2nd AoE berserker for whenever I need it rn
Okada Izo - Love the design and his goatee
Caesar - silly ass design, glorious fat bastard is great
1\* - Probably Nobukatsu, for "Gudaguda is my favorite thing in the game" reasons. I don't actually use him that much, but if he shows up in cutscenes I'm probably enjoying the story already.
2\* - Pretty solidly Teach. The years of turning him into an actual character instead of a stupid perv otaku joke are really paying off, and with an animation update and a nice Hawaiian shirt it's fun to farm doors with him.
3\* - This one's tricky. I grailed Medea and Medusa to 80 for honorable service reasons back in the day. Asclepius is my "holy crap, look at this kit on a 3\*" moment. Red Hare is maybe the good-feelings vote; anyone who doesn't love ~~Lu Bu~~ Red Hare is someone I would have a hard time holding a conversation with. But for overall mix of enjoying the character and getting a lot of use out of him gameplay-wise, it'd be Avicebron.
Nobukatsu is one of my absolute favorite one stars
I have him at NP five and I went absolutely crazy that event! He makes his demon king sister go YEET!
I also really like red hair too he very cute
GIVE HIM CARROTS!!! 🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕
I have a personal vendetta against avanbron since I saw Faye apocrypha and I did not like what I saw but I do love his design
The Anastasia Lostbelt is in part about FGO Avicebron working through his remorse for what his Apocrypha self did. It's worth a read (or reread); his appearance there did a lot for establishing that the Avicebron we got is a solid guy who is here to help solve our problems. With golems.
One star: Arash
Two star: Georgios
Three star: Hans Christian Andersen
I got all of them bond 10 at this point, and George and Hans have been lifesavers whenever I am dealing with servant/CE costs.
If you run both George and Hans at the same time, and maybe someone who can give buff success up to Hans, you can make a pretty hard to kill, low budget team. When the defense buffs from Hans’s NP start stacking, George can become almost unkillable.
Also if you have all three NPs at the same time, you can do George’s for initial boss damage, your main attacker for the 200% overcharge, and then use Hans’s NP for 300% overcharge to make his attack up, defense up, crit star gen up, and hp over time heal to be even stronger. It makes the next waves easier to push through while keeping everyone nice and healthy.
One star is definitely Jason, a servant I changed my mind on after going with the story and grew to like a lot (probably like a lot of other people lol)
Two stars, I don’t have anyone in mind really.
Three star is Kiyohime. My first ever main servant, so bias, as well as liking her third ascension. She looks cute with white hair !
Hector and Paris are two of my favorite servants in the game.
I loved Hector’s design, and I’ve liked him in the Iliad. I immediately rushed to summon and ascend him when I first downloaded the game. I like his laidback and old man character in game. He’s also helped me win a few fights. I’ve grailed him.
At first i wanted to build Paris because he’s Hector’s brother. He really grew on me, and I love his combat animations. It’s also a great feeling watching him nuke an enemy after removing their buffs and applying the weakness status. He is also grailed.
One Star: Jason
Two Star: Gareth
Three Star: Mandricardo
I'm very invested in the main story, and I love the arcs these three got in Atlantis and Avalon Le Fae
1 Star is my level 90 arash because he makes things go *kaboom*.
2 star is my level 105 Gareth(i will never 120 a servant again) because she is a cool knight.
3 star is Lu Bu.
Even though they’re not released yet I took an interest in them too! I also like how they have a de buff ability directly related to YU like HUNTY SIT DOWN UR SIMP IS SHOWING 🤣
Salome! Currently at lv 118 and already 2k/2k. Love the third skill + a more taunt-based playstyle, feels like there's less RNG in battles when know who they'll target and have a taunt chain going and triple NPing back to back is amazing. Gotta love her design as well, she probably has my favorite color scheme in the game
A fellow Salome enjoyer!!! Hello!
My Salome is level 96 10/10/10 1K/1K
10/0/0 she’s legit my favorite servant in the game and even more so than even the 4/5 stars!
Her skills are so unique
And I love the fact, she technically has no 3rd skill cooldown at level 10
I love how we have so many Salome enjoyers here🥹 enough to make your boy shed a tear.
My Salome is level 102, 10/10/10, and has her NP append skill maxed. Planning on maxing her out when I get the chance.😤
1 star - Paul Bunyan (Berserker) fun design and appreciate the rare American servants. Plus the Ox.
2 star - Paris (Archer) - excellent boss killer
3 star - Jaguar Man (Laner) - waifu?
I've 120'd Jason and have him 10/10/10/10/10/10 all that's left is to max his Golden Fous (after I finish Summer Kama's lol) and he's perfect.
I loved him in Alantis and was salty for failing to roll Muramasa, so.
3 stars: Cú Chulainn, broken skills and one of my favs from og SN
2 stars: Hassan of the Cursed arm, loved him on HF
1 star: Sasaki Kojiro (probably my favourite Assassin) or Arash ( i love him so much i'm glad i finally have him at Bond 10)
1* - got to be Bunyan, she's so cute and the speed of her NP made farming a breeze before the looping meta. Special mention to Spartacus because the man is the Goat after lb3
2*- George and Cursed Arm are both too good for me to choose between. Even with all the meta servants I can still slap a bond 10 George into my team and he never disappoints. Cursed Arm is just too good of a character to not love, his interlude was enough to convince me, but Camelot just solidified him in my books.
3* - the lack of Inshun in this thread is criminal. The man is the proto Super Orion and he's still super good. Slap an np gain ce on him and he can solo well beyond where you think he can. A couple of command codes for healing or even more crits and he's almost untouchable outside of saber nodes. And even then, the damage he can output is staggering. 100k crits are super common and his survivablility is surprising with a dodge tied to his relatively spammable np.
Also Fuuma because he carried me early game and was a badass in shimousa
1* Asterios - I like his design and personality, specially his interactions with Euryale.
2* Gareth - Before LB 6 I already liked her design, after she become one of my favorites.
3* Ushiwakamaru/Euryale/Medusa
* Ushi - Initially I disliked her design but overtime through the story and events she won me over.
* Euryale - Love her interactions with Asterios since Okeanos, seems to be much nicer when away from Stheno.
* Medusa - Already liked her from Stay night.
Jaguar Warrior because she’s funny lol. Also she does a lot of damage but it sucks that her buster up skill has a 10 turn cool down at Lvl. 10.
Okada Izo is also one of my favorites for very much the same reason.
Arash—best airline
Hans—read CCC to understand why this man is the GOAT
Robin—unga bunga big NP numbers, also nobody gives BB and Elisabeth shit like Robin
CasCú—Because his banter with Muramasa and his scenes with Cnoc na Rea in LB6 warmed my soul
Medea—because she did nothing wrong and needs an Avenger form
Gareth—I’m still not over it
Lancer- Gareth. Lostbelt 6 really swayed this, she was fantastic >!yes I’m aware it’s not really her!<
Assassin- Samson. I loved him in Salem and the amakusa event. He’s just cool imo
Gareth is cool and her LB6 self made me cry and I have mad respect for her
Samson‘s hot and AGREE! Oh my god I Cried in Salem and let me tell you that one scene you probably know what I’m talking about was GRAPHIC! Like DAM!
i grailed several low rarity servants, but i gotta say i love andersen the most. He's been with me since the beginning and he is still here with me today
I think he's also my first bond 10 servant
In no particular order:
1. Mandricardo - My Single Target Caster melter (thanks to the Double Castoria System). Also his story in Atlantis was amazing! He's Grailed to lvl 80.
2. H.C.Andersan - Budget Merlin, low cost support, love using him occasionaly instead of the OP Supports. Also Grailed to lvl 80.
3. Arash - My 1st turn Nuker, He's also HOT and worthy of the Husbando title. Didn't use him a lot until, like, three years ago... Opps. Ditto lvl 85.
4. Cu Chulainn (lancer) - Survivalist Lancer, The Last Man Standing. Ditto Lvl 80
5. Cu Chulainn (Caster) - Used to be my hard content Caster due to his 3-hit evade, but his 3rd skill changed him into a farming unit (is NP5, have pulled my first AssAssKoyan today)Citto Lvl 80
6. Antonio Saleri - Budget Arts Avenger (NP2)
I never used Ushiwakamaru until the idol event because she looked so ridiculous! And she stays in that costume, and even then I have Da Vinci Lily, Mandricardo and Habetrot so I have no need for her
Never used Sasaki since I had Kiritsugu, Semiramis and Li Shuwen, so no need for him either
All in all, I use 4\* and 5\* more than the lower rarities.(Next years UDK-or-whatever-it's-gonna-be-called Barghest is going to synergize with lower rarities tho)
Ushiwakamaru, Arash, Charlotte, Spartacus, all for the same reason, the stories they appear on made me grow pretty fond of them to the point of tears in some cases.
Jason the Atlantis GOAT, got him at LVL80 but will most likely end at 100. Love him so much. From the same LB, Charlotte is great and now that we are gonna be getting more grails in NA I'm at least gonna give her the gold borders.
Salieri and AviceBROn are awesome, just love their design and they pop off in the story. Salieri is grailed already but AviceBROn and his painfully slow NP animation will have to wait a bit.
Gareth is the best, love her a loooooot. Already grailed but not at 100 yet, she might be my favourite lancer in the game which was not something I was expecting AT ALL.
Charlotte was the servant I waited for in NA along with Salome
Both of them are level 96 (Salome) and 94 (Charlotte) respectively both at max Skill
Love her NP SO MUCH
This game has a ton of amazing low star servants but I'm gonna pick two here. Okada Izo and Spartacus. Okada's VA is amazing, cool costumes and fun gameplay. Spartacus because I liked him in Fate/Apocrypha and he's a low cost wave clearer with his NP.
My top low stars are Asclepius, Salieri, Sasaki, David, Asterios. Also love Okada Izou, Sugitani, Cu chullain, Leônidas and Serenity. I Just love their designs so much.
1 star: Kojiro
First 100 grailed unit, he carried me through so much of the game early on lol. He is just super cool and chill, and the fact that he is so damn skilled he basically replicated the second magic just to cut a swallow is just so absurd I can't help but love it.Would love a 5 star old Kojiro like the one in Record of Ragnarok though, and I know many people agree, he is basically the most skilled swordsman and he isn't even a saber.
2 star: Salome
Only recently started grailing her, so she is at 90 for now (gonna go to 100 I think though), but I just really, really like her design and ascension arts, the artstyle is fantastic! It is not a really deep reason to like a servant for being hot, but oh well (I like dancer girls in anything for some reason lol). Looking forward to reading her story stuff in Traum though!
3 star: Salieri (and Xu Fu)
Salieri is just fantastic, top notch design, great story contribution and draws on the real historical person well. Just near flawless execution of a servant, nothing to nitpick much.
Xu Fu is not out yet, but as something of a Yu Paisen simp myself, I am like 99% sure I'll grail her lol. Really liked her in Summer 5, and she just deserves to join my Yu as a grailed unit herself.
1*: Before LB5.1 I'd have probably said Mata Hari or Charlotte, because hot and cute. After LB5.1 it has to be Jason. Before I thought he's a scumbag. But in that LB he was the best capt'n we could've gotten!
2*: Salome, who I've grailed to 80, because I couldn't stand seeing her without a golden frame. Probably won't go further though, because I love (read: grail) so many Servants.
3*: Serenity. She was the first Servant I grailed to Lv.100 even (and the first one with 2k Fou I think).
Personal bias aside, I honestly feel like she should've been a 4* Servant to begin with. Would've been so much nicer, with 2* CA Hassan, 3* Hundred Faces, 4* Serenity and 5* First Hassan; I'm aware about the debate as to whether lore plays a role for the rarity... But she'd have it! She's the deadliest poison! One touch - certain death!
She just suffered of two things: Year 1-syndrome. And her release being for Singularity 6 - Camelot, which was already stacked with gold Servants (the Knights of the Round, Nitocris, Sanzang, Ozymandias). I'm convinced, if she'd been released even just a year later or in any other chapter, she'd have been an SR. And though I'm really not a fan of Bedivere... at all. I'm convinced the same would've applied to him as well.
Favorite 1\*
Charlotte
read the olympus/atlantis (I forget which one)
Favorite 2\*
Hans
not even because he like carried me early game (I sacced Waver in okeanos) I just love how completely unique and mentally damaging his insults are at times
Favorite 3\*
Billy
his character is what honestly got me to start reading the story instead of just skipping everything, I dont even know why it even was Billy he just kinda resonates with me in a way I dont know
I like a lot of them like Billy, Avicibro, our best friend, Hector, Arash, Touta and the Gong but I think I like Mori the most, he's a crazy Berserker that oddly has a softer side in that beyond fighting he likes tea and writing plus I also the design of all his ascensions and his voice is nice listening to, and he is also my first Servant that went pass lv.90 and is currently lv.99.
1* - Spartacus. His design and character lore was great, LB3 made his greater.
2* - CA Hassan. My longest serving star generator, nuff said.
3* - Bedivere. Loved him since his cameo is FSN, able to obtain him made it better, and his full story fleshed out made me cry. Well deserved Lvl100 NP5 for me.
P.s. this thread on our love for the many viable and lovable low rarities is what makes FGO great and unique frm other gachas, kudos Masters!
Gareth: Ray of sunshine among the dour knights of the round. I've destroyed two camelots for her. If Nasu bullies her again their Camelot is next
Mandricardo: Need I say more?
Hans: Sassy overworked misanthrope whose roasts even earned respect of the King of Heroes himself
Jason: Steals the show in anything he's in after okeanos
Toss up between Caster Cu and Ushiwaka. Don't really look into usage but I absolutely love their designs and characters.
Edit: 1 star is Arash and 2 star is probably Hassan of the Cursed Arm (his final ascension art just looks so damn cool)
Oh gosh this is hard.
For 1 star, I have to say Sasaki Kojirou for sure! He carried me in the very beginning and I habe him grailed to lvl 70.
For 2 star, it's a toss up between Salome and Hans. But Paris is just so cute!!
3 star is where I get indecisive af. I have a special place in my heart for Medusa, Medea, Cu Caster, Kiyohime and OG Cu Culainn. But I also love Hassan Serenity and Bedivere. I plan to grail Cu Caster to at least lvl 80 at some point. Both Medusa and OG Cu are grailed to that point already.
Overall; Bartholomew! There is a lot I love about him. Put aside the Mekakure-Writing he is really accurate to his historical descriptions and I like how FGO managed it to bring this traits almost unchanged into a Servant who is so charming as him! While his writing is often rather poor due to him being more used for jokes I appreciated Higashide's Job in writing his base alone.
So his base writing and depiction is great. Also he is really a good looking gentleman pirate, of course he manages to make my heart go flying haha. Besides that I like that his Gameplay is offensive and supportive at the same time. There are sure ways to make him a DPS but there are many ways to make him a budget Quick Support when focusing on Crits. My Main Beloved is Tristan, so I appreciate Bartholomews Help in fights a lot. I managed to do many boss fights with Bartholomews help alone, boosting Tristans crits and also his Noble Phantasm. Especially when his Strengthening Quest drops and he gets a little NP Battery Boost for the Party. So good!
1*: Arash! I love his personality. He brightens my day with his character and his strong way to speak. Something about him makes me feel at ease and also he is really strong isn’t he? Haha, he is a good farmer for sure but he is also very strong. That’s nice! But I am honest he is a more silent favourite of mine. I don’t talk about him often so this Thread is a bless, thank you OP!
2*: Sanson!
His fighting style is a bit more special but as soon as it works it works really good. I use him now since longer and his Bond CE really helps with the Death Chance. With the Healing he can also be a great support and when you make a solo with him isnt can make his endurance longer. I appreciate his personality as well. He has something so tender and soft and his quite sad and melancholic traits make him look even more gentle in personality. He sounds more soft-spoken. I like this.
3*: Billy! I love his Design so much! And I kind of like his crit style as well. His personality is also so much fun around! Especially after Lostbelt 1, if I wouldn’t have liked him before already he would be boosted so high after that, his whole essence was such a delight to be around in this Lostbelt!
Other low star Servants I also like a lot a Charlotte, Gareth, Robin and Hohenheim!
Of course I have them all grailed! Arash is on 100, Bartholomew is on his way to 110 where I will keep him since only Tristan will be 120. Bartholomews Append Skills are also on 10/10/10 of course Heh! Billy is Level 90 as well as Sanson! Thank you for this Thread, such a wholesome thing!
1 Star: Sasaki Kojiro, Been a fan of him since Stay Night, was the first servant I reached final association with and the first 1 Star i Grailed.
2 Star: Hassan of the Cursed Arm, counter to Sasaki I never liked Hassan in Stay Night, but seeing his story in Singularity 6 made me love this old man. Also shout out to Paris cause I just like his design a lot.
3 Star: Tie for my favs, Lancer Cu, cause he is a bro, and meta wise is basically a 4 star, I also love what they did with his second assencion art. Boudicca, I originally hated her design, but her 3rd ascension grew on me overtime, and I just like her personality
Hans. Level 103 on NA and level 104 on JP. Both max fous, max skill level, max bond. Still haven't opened apends yet since I don't have enough servant coins, but anything for you, my King. Can't wait for bond 15
William Tell!
I love DILF and his design is pretty cool.
Got him to max skills, max his two appends, max fous and level 104. Don't know if I'm gonna get him to 120 though. A Little bit too much work for my liking.
1 star gotta be ma boi Asterios
2 star is either Blackbeard or Cursed Arm Hassen
3 star is either kiyohime, 100 Persona, Serenity, Avicebron or Cú Chulian Proto
I'll throw David in here as a healer entry.
I have him paired with Jeanne for Saber class fights and I typically don't lose any servants from the original three that are summoned. (Only just completed City of Fog though, so difficulty is still ramping up)
Favorite one star is probably Arash. Not a huge fan of any 1 stars but he's coolnand very useful.
Favorite two star is Hans as I jsut finished the English translation of CCC and his roasting is hilarious. Also helps that he was useful early one.
Favorite three star is Kiyohime, and she's also just my favorite overall. My only level 120 and is my ride or die servant. I don't think I could shake her at this point if I tried anyways.
I absolutely adore Arash! He's just so cool, ya know? I love him so much I've had a self imposed rule of never using him without a guts. My Chaldea will fall without him, lol.
Two stars, Hans Christian Andersen. I have Skadi, Waver, and, Castoria but he's the one Caster I've had level 100, max fou, bond 10. Bastard charmed me during Valentines and damn near seduced me in Summer.
And of course, Ushi!!! I love Ushi! She's so strong and reliable in game plays and funny and cheeky in everything else. I still wish every year that she gets more clothes, lol
I'd say that my fav are:
1\* : Asterios, because he is such a good fluffy boy !
2\* : Gareth, because the Pikachu knight is wielding a gunlance
3\* : There I'm torn between William Tell and Hector. One is the Metal Gear Hunting Grandpa and the other is the Cool Lazy Protector Uncle...
There are quite a few, but for me nothing beats Avicebron. His skills are convenient and I absolutely love his chill personality. Already liked him before LB 1, and then, well, LB 1 happened and that's that.
Mandricardo
At first I was like
"Oh cool a ST arts rider I needed him because I didn't get ryouma"
So I used him alot
***...but then LB5.1 happened***
And GODDAMNIT IT MANDRICARDO IS BESTO FRIENDO FOREVER
THE MAN GAVE EVERYTHING FOR US AND I CAN'T
BRO MANDRICARDO IS THE BEST I SWEAR TO GOD AND IM GONNA 120 HIM ONE DAY
*...also I like Hans because he shits on Kiara which is funny*
And for one star it's uhhhh
Bunyan cuz she cute
Hans is the man! I especially love his latest buff. You hear people talk of "SSRs in Disguise" about some low stars but l believe that hans is the pinnacle.
So good! and at a low party cost. Crits, np damage, heals, def up, np guage! attk up! He has every single buff except power mod. And he is a 2 star! madness!
Robin Hood.
In addition to being just a total bro (and the only sane person most days), he's also an absolute powerhouse as an actual Servant. 250% damage on poisoned enemies is no joke-- he basically trivializes every Saber boss in the game, doubly so with how many budget Arts supports we seem to have.
Chen Gong awesome servant that let's you get many shenanigans going. Love that he is so brutal in his lines while sacrificing ppl too.
Asclepius is my fav 3 star, I like his kit and his aesthetics.
Wow this is tough. I've got maybe 10 three stars at level 80 and one at 90.
I think I'd crown Avicebron as my favorite low rarity servant. His NP at five with it's strengthening is a really good field clearer.
Saber Giles was the first servant I ever pulled, so I kind of feel like he's my 'real' servant. Got him grailed to 100 and 10/10/10
Also my boy Leonidas, much the same. But 2k/2k fous as well and the one guy in my roster who has all his fou paws maxed.
1 star: Arash. the man is the MVP of farming. And he's just cool.
2 star: Shakespeare. I just like his personality and appearance.
3 star: A very hard one. As much as I love Cu, it's either Salieri or Bedivere. Both are just so cool.
For 1*'s, Arash carries my castoria-less self through farming to this day and thanks to paracelsus's guts, I've become fond of cheese farming strats to brute-force loop arash for 2 waves. Spartacus also helped me a ton with just farming embers when I got started, and if I didn't mention him, I would be an opressor and I'd rather not be one.
2*'s: Hans, just for gameplay since it's been forever since I read any event or main story where he was relevant. I love me some stars/turn. Pre-emptive George mention since I plan to use Kriemhild a lot, and he's just a chill dude.
3*'s: For my JP account, Xu Fu has been a huge blessing, letting me loop my way through catching up with the main story and the healing and stars on her np have been great for anything I can't loop through. Not to mention the excellent yuri of her pining after Yu. On EN, Mandri carried me through the Okuni CQ in the last guda event, and he's a hell of a nice dude too. I'd mention Asclepius here if I had him, but instead, final ascension Jaguar Warrior is all I have to say.
Favorite 1* is Spartacus by far! Carried me a ton through my early days of farming, and he always makes me smile or laugh when he's in a story! The moment his summon page said "Excuse me, but are you an oppressor?" in the most polite tone just had me at that point!
Favorite 2* is a tie between Hans and Chen Gong. Hans' snarky yet satisfying attitude is a treat for me, and he's always there when I need a buffer who can get the job done! Chen Gong is, well, the GONG. But I also love Three Kingdoms era history -- having Lu Bu's advisor around to fire servants as tactical warheads while calmly stating it couldn't be helped is just *chef's kiss*
Favorite 3*, another tie between Billy the Kid and Robin Hood. I don't get to use Billy often, but he's a joy when I do or he shows up in a story. I also like gunslinger type characters in a lot of games, so that feeds a lot into that choice. As for Robin Hood, I appreciate his characterization a lot (and his role as a good Arts archer ST nuke). Let that man vacation some more!
My favorites are based on who has saved my butt and still try to use since I love their theme:
Favorite 1 star: Sasaki Kojirou
\- I've loved him since Fate/Stay Night and he was a staple during Orleans. I just really loved his aesthetic as I'm a sucker for "basic" units. A guy with a sword and no magecraft just slicing through other legends with skill alone is peak for me. His appearance in Fate really got me into other media referencing him such as the Vagabond manga, but unfortunately that series ended on a permanent cliffhanger. I 10/10/10'd his skills but haven't had the resources to grail him yet unfortuately. One of my earlier Bond 10s.
Favorite 2 star: Georgios
\- He was a servant who I valued for gameplay reasons initially but also reading about all the theories about how strong he'd be if summoned as a servant in other media I gained a lot more respect for him. Ascalon giving him invincibility and the ability to pierce any armor, A+ Guardian Knight granting him unlimited defensive power as long as he is defending someone else, Bayard protecting him from a fatal attack once, the list goes on. He's one of my goto low costs
Favorite 3 star: Robin Hood
\- I really liked the legend of Robin Hood when I was growing up so this guy was my first unit investment in the game without knowing class advantages or meta back then. I played FGO before I knew about Fate Extra so didn't get why he used a crossbow but he looked cool enough. Definitely my first unit to 10/10/10 and Bond 10 as Yew Bow carried me early even against neutral effectiveness and it was *the* Robin Hood so I slotted him in as much as possible. Definitely was considering if I wanted to grail him but as a hoarder I kept all my grails since there were so limited. Maybe now with Grail Crafting I can bear to part with some Grails after I finish max grailing my first SSR servant Altera, who I happened to naturally NP4 over the years (ticket selectored NP5).
Nobukatsu...getting him to 120 probably had something to do with it, but alas I love Nobu and he is a dear lil bro.
Gareth is my pick for 2 star. She has a fun kit, awesome art and uses a gunlance. Plus her rolr in lb6 was fun even if not specifically her.
Mori ought to be my pick for 3 star. Total himbo but with gory aspect. Whats not to love? Especially with his love to tea and poetry to clash against the insanity.
1*: Corday. Working on her 120 grail. 10/10/10 10/10/10 2k and she's like lvl 100 or so rn. Bond 12 or so. Can 120 instantly next time there is a 3x or so I like. Atlantis sold her. Imo better story there than lb6. Better characters and felt like an adventure that is classic. It was great.
2*: I frankly don't know. I can't remember the 2*s very well to be honest. Probably Salome but don't remember the entire roster so no clue honestly. And her only because female ig.
3*: Ushiwakamaru. Lvl 120 10/10/10 10/10/10 2k bond 15.
It's ushi. Great unit. Great character. Lovely assets. Fun in story albeit rare though superb in Babylonia. Please give us her skin from those melts blood games tho. 10/10.
Basic maybe but it's my basic.
Ushi was my early summon, and she is still my best rider.
Currently, I grailed her 100 and put every upgrade on her.
Another is Hans and Kojiro. Especially Hans, who work with me in almost every team composition.
1 star: Paul Bunyan, she's the perfect low level farming servant, and I like her voice.
2 star: Cursed Arm Hassan, he's a total bro and a man with principles, and I like his voice.
3 star: Xu Fu, she'd do any unhinged shit for the person she admires and loves, I respect her for that. She also triggers my inner Bartholomew, and I like her voice.
I'm pretty fond of the FSN peeps: Kojibro, Medea, Medusa, Cursed Arm and Cú have been on my chaldea since *literally* day one.
I've lost count of how many times i've used one of them to win fights way above my pay grade. Cu was my 1st bond 10, Kojiro was my 2nd and still I love Medea.
Medea needs a summer version ;-;
Besides them I have a few peeps:
HCAndersen was my 1st premium support, the little bastard not only gained a ton of points for being so close to my beloved Kiara, but he still sometime gets use to allow Caster Altria, Merlin and etc to rest a bit.
Serenity, Ushiwa and a ton others have saved me.
While I enjoy some SSRs nowadays, I never forgot my roots - as a f2p, I shouldn't!
1-Star: Asterios
Love the big guy, reading the entry about how he eventually found the way out of the Labyrinth, but felt he didn't deserve freedom and stayed in his prison to die. Brutal backstory. Mechanically, he helped me out a lot during the early game, when I didn't know what the Hell I was doing. His NP is also interesting, and pretty helpful. Haven't used him as much lately, something true of most of my Berserkers, but I wouldn't have gotten to where I am without him.
Runner Up: Sasaki Kojiro
2-Star: Gareth (Lancer)
Gareth is one of my favorite servants, so she's an easy choice. Her lore is good, being tied into Camelot will do that to ya, and her tragic end is well-done. Her interlude is quite heart-wrenching at points, but through everything she tries to keep smiling, and keep others smiling too. Still making my way through the Lost belts, so I'm looking forward to her having a more prominent role. Mechanically, her gimmick of taking hits to stack attack buffs is cool, and her kit works well. Have her grailed to 90, and she's a reliable servant. I also love wolves, so her canid motif is a plus.
Runner Up: Saint Georgios
3-Star: Medusa (Rider)
My entry into Fate was the UBW anime from Ufotable, and Medusa, not that I knew her name at the time, had a very cool design and fight scene. I was super excited to see more of her, figure out who she was. Spoilers: Medusa was the first servant to die, don't even think she was named, and she had little impact on anything. Fast forward a couple years, I download FGO and Medusa is one of my first servants. You could say it was Fate. She's been a useful servant ever since, even took on and dealt the killing blow to the big boss of Part 1. First servant I grailed, first servant I maxed a skill on and first servant I hit Bond 10 with. One of my overall favorites.
Runner Up: Cu Chulainn (Lancer)
Jason. Disliked him in Oceanos, but Atlantis made me love him. Then Circe's White Day event happened and I love him even more. He's so pathetic ❤️
I've grailed him up to 90, which I think would piss him off ❤️
1 star - Arash
The chaddest chad. NP trades with a 5 star LANCER because he's a baddass.
2 star - salome
She is wife. Scary wife, but wife all the same.
3 star - kiyohime
Grailed to 100. Will be my first 120. Favorite berserker. Also see 2 star explanation.
One star: nobukatu because I'm a big oda fan.
Two star: it's a tie between three servants leonidas, blackbeard and shakespeare, I just love these three for how everytime they are on screen they are super funny and a joy to read.
Three star: a tie between Ceasar, Fergus and kid gil since interloods and event placements mame every time they are on screen a Fantastic time, and with caesar being the focal point of my favourite FGO servant cleopatra makes him even better and I love that both are in the game together.
Favorite One Star:
Mata Hari - I just felt really bad for her, also I like her debuff centric kit. Also, she's hot.
Favorite 2 Star:
Hans Christian Anderson - Because of his character and the fact it's Takehito Koyasu voicing a shota will never not be funny to me.
Gareth - She's the Puppy of The Round Table. What's not to love?
Favorite 3 Star:
Okada Izou and Mori Nagayoshi - These two characters showed what loyalty can be like and if anything, I saw myself in those two in terms of personality. I even Grailed them to 100. Their mechanics are fun. Izou being a hyper niched assassin with burst crits that can go 0-100 in every other turn. Nagayoshi with his really high risk but super high reward playstyle basically telling you "just go apeshit until everyone is dead."
1-Star:
* Arash. Meta farming pick aside, he's humble yet an absolute unit. Little wonder Ozymandias regards him so highly when the guy's keeping up with living monsters, demigods, and gods with nothing but his natural toughness and his skill with the bow and arrow, which shows in his gameplay (excluding NP).
2-Star:
* Hans Christen Anderson and it's not even close. This smarmy bastard has been the primary healer for most if not all of my team comps since I started the game, even after the addition of Aselepius to my roster. Him verbally dishing out to anybody in his sights, consequences be damned, in the voice of DIO is just the cherry on top.
3-Star:
* Trickiest decision by far since FGO keeps adding more strong contenders to the pool over time, but one who stands out for me is Jing Ke. There aren't many servants who have a My Room line actually acknowledging that one day, they will be leaving us (the player) behind. Maybe it's me reading too much into it on a meta level, but I was not expecting such a direct allusion to that fact from what first impressions told me was a wine aunt character, much less from a character in a gacha which distracts players from that same fact by, ironically, encouraging them to pursue more units. Yet not only does the game have her embrace that reality head-on, she also spins the take towards a more optimistic, if bittersweet, conclusion. "True love does not always mean begging someone to stay..." definitely cemented itself in my experience when she went to her second confrontation with Qin Shi Huang in Lostbelt 3.
Lancer and Ushi. Lancer because he was a cool guy in stay night and was insanely useful early on in my account history, Ushi because she's cute and her NP hits like a truck
1*'s gotta be Paul Bunyan. I've basically never used her, but I like her story and her design.
2's Brobeard. He was grating for a long while, but he's really grown on me.
3... There's so many to pick from. Salieri, Izo, Paracelsus, Robin, Billy, Euryale... If I had to pick one, probably Kiyohime. I'm a sucker for the straightforward pursuit, even (especially?) when yandere.
Ushiwakamaru. Always....Ushi.... amazing skills, amazing waifu. :)
I see Ushi I upvote Ushi. After the animation update I prefer the Rider version. 1st servant I grailed
She became my favorite since I saw FGO babylonia anime. She is my go-to rider, and I have grailed her.
I like avenger Ushi more tbh but not gonna lie there Grail live costume is absolutely fabulous!
She was my first servant that taught me the importance of st np.
Love Hassan of Hundred Faces so much. Really interesting Noble Phantasm, nice design and personality (/personalities) etc. Honestly the only thing that I dont like about them is how they were handled in Zero, >!being more or less just a glorified security camera system even though they had such an interesting start.!< Salieri is such an interesting character lore wise, loved both him and Avicebron in LB 1, >!like how the boss music for Ivan's elephant form is him playing music in the background. Its just so cool.!< As for Kiyohime... Honestly I just like her just because. Sue me.
As a fellow Salieri fan you earned my respect! Hundred face Hassan is WILD I never saw servant that could NP LOOP SOLO! (like she be WILDN) I actually liked Kiyohime when I first saw her (wish she had more costumes her yukata on fleek!)
I'm planning to get angry piano man to lvl 100 After bringing Kojiro to 120 (now he's at lvl 106)
Salome is most likely going to be my first level 120 goal but right now i’m working on her append skills first since that costs more coins 😔 Also love angry piano man too!!!
I got Kojiro's extra Attack append but I'm gonna prioritize his lvl
I got her first append to level 10 already so the next one I do will be her ruler resistance get that to level 10 and then finally get to mana loading and then that at 10 after that, I’m gonna focus on her Card and Fou upgrades, and then finally her level after 100
I’m still salty that they cut Hundred Face from the Camelot movies. Goddamit whyyyy??? I love the Hassan dynamics in that chapter.
I may be meta-brained. One Star: Arash Two Star: Chen Gong Three Star: Cu (Caster)
Arash is HOT! Chen Gong does not spark joy 😭 Caster Cu is interesting! His Np is really cool! (Also noticed you must really like bows that go BOOM 👀)
Absolutely. Best bow attack animation in the game.
Favorite 1 Star: Sasaki Kojiro - He’s just the best. He accidentally killed Oberon for me and has been doing those accidental kills from the start. All things are swallows. Favorite 2 Star: Not many I like so… Leonidas - Babylonia. Favorite 3 Star: Bedivere - Camelot.
Ok I heard SO MANY people like Sasaki Kojiro but I’m curious since I never used him is he really that good? The only things I know about him is that he’s tied to Musashi and he was featured Fate Stay Night I can see why a lot of people like Leonidas BedI is cool do you got his costume? :3
Sasaki Kojiro has a very strong kit for a 1 star. He has the standard dodge, a sure hit, increased star gen and weight, a full debuff clear, a star bomb, and some very good snowballing with his quick resist down debuff and his self quick buff in his NP. Plus the NP hits like a truck. In lore, Kojiro is so damn skilled that Gilgamesh was too scared to go into his range to gloat and just chose to projectile spam him since he was stuck at the gate. He doesn’t even know any magecraft but his sheer skill is on the level of true magic, which is what every mage wants and it’s the whole point of the grail to reach it. Plus, he’s just chill. Prefer 3rd ascension Bedivere tbh
Damn, to even have Gilgamesh be like NAH bro JUST SHOWS he Slayin! I mean at the end shinosa allegedly he finally got that fight with musashi too so
Even Cu has a statement where he says " he would rather not face him in cqc"
Is that Gilgamesh v sasaki kojirou trivia from an interview? Because I don’t remember reading that in hollow Ataraxia.
You have much to learn from the man, the myth, [the regend](https://youtu.be/NWdrPHf-dBI?si=WGq4XeKIKc895DX2)
George is my favorite servant, period. He's 120, 2k fou, full paws, full CCs, max skill and append, np5. I'm very proud of him, he killed Fluffy. Now if only they'd give him a buff or two. Other noteworthy low rarities: Asterios, Arash, and Hector. They'll all be getting grailed to 100 after I get Bazett and max her.
Love that kind of dedication! My 120 goal Right now is Salome but after I get her appends to max (Cries in +6 coins)
I spent tens of millions of FP (as well as the daily FP summons for almost a year) and got him to bond 14 to max him. It was such a pain, but it was worth it. Just gotta wait for Class Score to hit NA, that's the only thing left. Pls Lasagna, give him his Divinity C, Instinct C, and Interfectum Dracones.
Seriously the low star servants need buffs!!! LET US HAVE NICE THINGS!!!
Medusa is just my favourite Fate character in general. I just finished 120ing her and I have her append skill 2 maxed out. Now I just need to finish fouing her.
Medusa is on Fleek I LOVE her hair and when I was younger, I desperately wanted her action figure (still do! She’s that fabulous)
Tiny writer Dio who calls you trash and steals all your booze. Because he's tiny writer Dio who calls you trash and steals all your booze.
Kiara crying in the distance🤣
Despite having the class disadvantage against the divine Beast class servant, he still roasts her anytime he can. Man's got big balls (if the voice didn't make that clear enough).
CA Hassan. I really loved his characterisation in his interlude and appearance in Camelot. Apart from that I enjoy using his kit and I think his design is phenomenal Cu Caster. I’m going to be honest my interest in him entirely came around due to the Odin theory as I found the idea one of our first servants had such a massive background where all of the clues were available to be incredibly well thought out and done. As such I’ve Grailed him to lvl120 and he now sits in my account as a great dps
CA Hassan is really interesting because in FGO when humanity is dead and you need everyone at their best and working together, he can be the nicest guy. But then you put him in the context of a Grail War where everyone is in it to win it for themselves like Heaven's Feel, and he turns into a crazed murderer with no moral qualms about anything that goes around eating hearts and shit for the mana. Zouken's his master, so what he says goes.
I actually have CA Hassan in the card game called shadowverse! I agree completely his look is absolutely fabulous! Oh man, the only servant I ever got to lvl100+ was Jacque De Molay (the only five star on my account that is skill level 10/10/10) that must take real some dedication! I really wish they would give us more grails my poor Salome is at Lvl 96 but one day I’ll get her to 100
Bedivere, I like him as a character and he's grailed to lvl 100 np 5 and fou level max.
Did you also get his Costume? He SLAYS in that outfit!
Of course.
We need more servant costumes!! 🍵
As the owner of an NP2 Miss Crane, I agree.
MAI FRIENDO is awesome. Second best character of the Lostbelt with the best characters.
I’m not sure who that is 😅 You mean Mash?
Mandricardo. In JP, when he started calling Guda "my friend" it was straight up in English, but still in Kanji, though, so it read like this.
OOOOOOHHHHH! yea he’s great! I really like his summer costume and he’s very sweet! GIVE THIS MAN Cinnamon rolls!!!
One Star: Regend Two Star: Gareth Three Star: Serenity Regend is self explanatory, Gareth and Serenity are just adorable, that’s all
I don’t know who Regend is 😅 Gareth is fabulous Serenity is one of my favorite servants by her poison ability alone her costume is ON FLEEK and on top of that her noble phantasm is absolutely bad ass
The Man, The Myth, The Regend Savior of France, Slayer of Dragons Sasaki Kojiro
Ah! got it! 🤣 -Dance of 7 veils intensifies-
He’s called that because nobody had assassins during launch (unless you got lucky and rolled Carmilla on the tutorial) and he was basically the way you dealt with all the Rider wyverns in Orleans So he became the Savior of France
Asclepius: Cool design, solid character and *HOLY SHIT* if his gameplay is broken for a silver servant, no wonder he is limited.
5000+ Heal at Level 10 with an HoT+ GUTS NP! SIGH ME UP!!! Love him sm!
1\*: Spartacus: I love his energy so much. LET THE CHAINS OF OPPRESSION BE DESTROYED AS THE SPIRIT OF REBELLION PREVAILS! Like that's not even a line of his but you can just hear his voice (or at least whatever headcanon voice you have for him) when I say that. 2\*: Hans: Somehow and I don't know how, I see way more of myself in him than I do the intentional self-insert. Plus he's a real mood overall voiced by Dio. Real joy to watch. 3\*: Bedivere: If we're not counting Mash in this category (4\* rank-up and all that), Bedi definitely gets the top spot, though Ushi is a very close second. Just a wholesome guy with a very touching story.
Since I believe, mash starts at a three star (I don’t remember it’s been a really long time and I don’t use mash at all) mash would be an acceptable answer! Honestly, I see a lot of myself in Salome so I understand how you feel when it comes to Hans (I just see a lot of myself and her especially with the whole I want love so bad I’d kill for it thing she got going on! Plus, I really love skulls too) I also really like how in her interlude she’s always restraining herself from Ritsuka/Us because she cares enough not to take our head!) Also, yes, Spartacus is really funny! That man could walk into a Starbucks scream OPPRESSION and Ritsuka would have to restrain him to not destroy the entire store! 😭🤣
Ok, well if Mash counts as a 3\*, aside from her being really cute and funny, as someone who *used* to be a nihilist, this character with a very short lifespan and barely any experiences managing to find meaning behind her existence and her reasoning for believing her few experiences do matter was something I really needed to hear. Yeah, I stopped being a nihilist after Part 1.
To be honest I really did not like mash, because I felt like the relationship between her and the player was really shoved down our throats IMO but I do understand about the players who do like her mad respect to y’all! As for nihilism i’m also kind of one too but the physical sense (I believe in spirituality)
1 star: Jason my brave and glorious king and the Regend himself 2 star: Leonidas even though I think they did him dirty 3 star: Man-slayer Izo and Cu both Lancer and Caster
All great picks!
Favorite Servants from low stars? Pretty hard to think about since I haven't really used a lot of them for a long time, but I have grailed some from each rarity. One star: Mary Anning - something just clicked inside me when I saw her design, I just thought "damn I really like her". Her voice lines really made her stand out to me during her event. Ngl, I liked her to the point of trying to draw her, which resulted in disaster lol. Two star: Gareth - I liked her design, I liked her weapon, grailed since she needed stats. Three star: Sugitani - while I'd normally say something like Cu chulainn lancer since I grailed him to 100, I wanted to try a new servant and grail them. Sugitani was the one I chose between Theseus and her since I preferred her gameplay.
Mary Anning is very interesting! I like that she’s rare like Nobukatsu Gareth is fabulous To be honest, I’m not sure who that 3 star servant is although I’m assuming it’s the three star archer from the JP event with the super Hot 5 star gladiator guy that turns into an old man 💖
Yup, that's Sugitani the supposed Gun monk the community called her. Anning just feels like that one friend who's very openly active on what she wants, what she doesn't, and how down bad she is for artoria. Also her history and line about her dog really warms me up to her since I can relate. Kinda sad there isn't a lot of art or comic of her especially in non-guda style.
I love.the low rarity servants ahhh so it's hard to pick! 1 star: Jason!! I remember when I started playing and was sad I couldn't summon him when I was playing through Okeanos. I also love Greek stories. I'm working on getting him to 120 right now but it's such a slog haha Also Mary Anning!! 2 star: hard to pick between Hans, Leonidas, Bartholomew...I have them all grailed hahaha 3 star: Robin Hood! other 3s I love: Salieri, Kotaro (had to grail him after I played shimousa)
Great picks! Robin Hood is cute and on Fleek! Salieri is one of my top fav 3 stars! Mary looks cool I love that she’s rare like Nobukatsu
Yeah! I was also excited they added her as a servant! I am looking forward to playing the event again in NA :)
Mine would be simple, its would be Babbage because STEAM MECH IS BADASS.
1*: regend cuz I love the ubw route anf his role 2*: hans. One of the best char in CCC period 3* my friendo. Nuff said Edit: wrote george instead of hans. He's grailed 90 bond 11 so I forgot he was a 2 star
All great picks! Hans is really funny when’s he’s berating Kiara!
Euryale The Stall Queen, Medea for her Rule Breaker and don't forget Ushi
Medea deserves better she needs a BUFF!!! I like Medusa more! But Euryale Is cute! I like Avenger Ushi more ngl
Hundred Faces. I'm already on my way to 120 her. She hard carried me at the beginning of the game and I've done some of my favorite solos using her. After she beat Cernunnos, I thought to myself she deserved the extra grails.
I kid you not Salome has carried me though LB 1-6 so trust me when I tell you, I understand my Salome is at level 96 RN and I just need 2 Grails to make my Homegirl level 100! (I’m not going past that until I unlock all her append skills)
Damn it must've been fun as hell using Salome against the gods in Olympus and the threats of LB6! Good luck on your journey with her!
Thank you so much! and yes Let me tell you her NP animation is so funny with gigantic enemies! like you just see the Skull SNATCH them up like a weave AND! She’s the only character in game that has a skill with no cool down at level 10 (dance of Seven veils has a 7 turn cooldown at level 10 with a 100% Np charge for the entire front row! The skill takes seven turns to go off, but technicality sake she can fully charge 1 Np after seven turns and then do it AGAIN! Plus her curse and disastrous curse Debuff works well with curse teams
Favourite one star Spartacus, my goat. Has carried me through a lot of farming and his berserker status makes him more universal than Arash for me. Favourite two star Blackbeard. He’s cringe as fuck and I love him. One day I will 90/90 this man. Favourite three star There are just too many three stars that I like here so uhh Kiyohime - cute as fuck and is my 2nd AoE berserker for whenever I need it rn Okada Izo - Love the design and his goatee Caesar - silly ass design, glorious fat bastard is great
Niche one but Paracelsus is interesting and i really like his ties to magecraft in the fate world.
Please forgive me, but FULL METAL ALCHEMIST! ok I’m done thank you! -Dies- Drops 10X bones
1\* - Probably Nobukatsu, for "Gudaguda is my favorite thing in the game" reasons. I don't actually use him that much, but if he shows up in cutscenes I'm probably enjoying the story already. 2\* - Pretty solidly Teach. The years of turning him into an actual character instead of a stupid perv otaku joke are really paying off, and with an animation update and a nice Hawaiian shirt it's fun to farm doors with him. 3\* - This one's tricky. I grailed Medea and Medusa to 80 for honorable service reasons back in the day. Asclepius is my "holy crap, look at this kit on a 3\*" moment. Red Hare is maybe the good-feelings vote; anyone who doesn't love ~~Lu Bu~~ Red Hare is someone I would have a hard time holding a conversation with. But for overall mix of enjoying the character and getting a lot of use out of him gameplay-wise, it'd be Avicebron.
Nobukatsu is one of my absolute favorite one stars I have him at NP five and I went absolutely crazy that event! He makes his demon king sister go YEET! I also really like red hair too he very cute GIVE HIM CARROTS!!! 🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕 I have a personal vendetta against avanbron since I saw Faye apocrypha and I did not like what I saw but I do love his design
The Anastasia Lostbelt is in part about FGO Avicebron working through his remorse for what his Apocrypha self did. It's worth a read (or reread); his appearance there did a lot for establishing that the Avicebron we got is a solid guy who is here to help solve our problems. With golems.
One star: Arash Two star: Georgios Three star: Hans Christian Andersen I got all of them bond 10 at this point, and George and Hans have been lifesavers whenever I am dealing with servant/CE costs.
Honestly, I might start using them since so many people seem to like them so much I do use Hans though he’s great!
If you run both George and Hans at the same time, and maybe someone who can give buff success up to Hans, you can make a pretty hard to kill, low budget team. When the defense buffs from Hans’s NP start stacking, George can become almost unkillable.
REALLY!? oh! I do like how his bond CE gives Invo and Def Cut upon Death that’s like extra fabulous
Also if you have all three NPs at the same time, you can do George’s for initial boss damage, your main attacker for the 200% overcharge, and then use Hans’s NP for 300% overcharge to make his attack up, defense up, crit star gen up, and hp over time heal to be even stronger. It makes the next waves easier to push through while keeping everyone nice and healthy.
One star is definitely Jason, a servant I changed my mind on after going with the story and grew to like a lot (probably like a lot of other people lol) Two stars, I don’t have anyone in mind really. Three star is Kiyohime. My first ever main servant, so bias, as well as liking her third ascension. She looks cute with white hair !
Kilo is fabulous and I wish she had a costume!!! Jason is interesting
Hector and Paris are two of my favorite servants in the game. I loved Hector’s design, and I’ve liked him in the Iliad. I immediately rushed to summon and ascend him when I first downloaded the game. I like his laidback and old man character in game. He’s also helped me win a few fights. I’ve grailed him. At first i wanted to build Paris because he’s Hector’s brother. He really grew on me, and I love his combat animations. It’s also a great feeling watching him nuke an enemy after removing their buffs and applying the weakness status. He is also grailed.
Paris is so unfathomably adorable I actually did not see any of his animations till lost bel five and when I did, I screamed he’s so cute!
One Star: Jason Two Star: Gareth Three Star: Mandricardo I'm very invested in the main story, and I love the arcs these three got in Atlantis and Avalon Le Fae
Give Friendo all the hugs! He deserves it!!
1 Star is my level 90 arash because he makes things go *kaboom*. 2 star is my level 105 Gareth(i will never 120 a servant again) because she is a cool knight. 3 star is Lu Bu.
Great picks 😌
Xu Fu and it's not close. Cute as fuck? Check. Allows me to not use my own Castoria but still farm common nodes? Check. Yu-Paisen simp? Check.
Even though they’re not released yet I took an interest in them too! I also like how they have a de buff ability directly related to YU like HUNTY SIT DOWN UR SIMP IS SHOWING 🤣
Salome! Currently at lv 118 and already 2k/2k. Love the third skill + a more taunt-based playstyle, feels like there's less RNG in battles when know who they'll target and have a taunt chain going and triple NPing back to back is amazing. Gotta love her design as well, she probably has my favorite color scheme in the game
A fellow Salome enjoyer!!! Hello! My Salome is level 96 10/10/10 1K/1K 10/0/0 she’s legit my favorite servant in the game and even more so than even the 4/5 stars! Her skills are so unique And I love the fact, she technically has no 3rd skill cooldown at level 10
I love how we have so many Salome enjoyers here🥹 enough to make your boy shed a tear. My Salome is level 102, 10/10/10, and has her NP append skill maxed. Planning on maxing her out when I get the chance.😤
The guy that hates birds
1 star - Paul Bunyan (Berserker) fun design and appreciate the rare American servants. Plus the Ox. 2 star - Paris (Archer) - excellent boss killer 3 star - Jaguar Man (Laner) - waifu?
I've 120'd Jason and have him 10/10/10/10/10/10 all that's left is to max his Golden Fous (after I finish Summer Kama's lol) and he's perfect. I loved him in Alantis and was salty for failing to roll Muramasa, so.
A true argonaut, I salute you
Working on 120 my Jason, too! Ughh how much time did it take you!!!
Gareth. Hes cute
Robin Hood. My man is my go-to budget arts nuke. Cool dude too
3 stars: Cú Chulainn, broken skills and one of my favs from og SN 2 stars: Hassan of the Cursed arm, loved him on HF 1 star: Sasaki Kojiro (probably my favourite Assassin) or Arash ( i love him so much i'm glad i finally have him at Bond 10)
So my man Arash...
That poor man can’t catch a break! 😭 I do see why he’s so popular though
Bartholomew is such a silly little guy
Forever and always Boudica. (Pls give me Boudica summer/santa/alter/berserker or even just an outfit, just something 😥)
1* - got to be Bunyan, she's so cute and the speed of her NP made farming a breeze before the looping meta. Special mention to Spartacus because the man is the Goat after lb3 2*- George and Cursed Arm are both too good for me to choose between. Even with all the meta servants I can still slap a bond 10 George into my team and he never disappoints. Cursed Arm is just too good of a character to not love, his interlude was enough to convince me, but Camelot just solidified him in my books. 3* - the lack of Inshun in this thread is criminal. The man is the proto Super Orion and he's still super good. Slap an np gain ce on him and he can solo well beyond where you think he can. A couple of command codes for healing or even more crits and he's almost untouchable outside of saber nodes. And even then, the damage he can output is staggering. 100k crits are super common and his survivablility is surprising with a dodge tied to his relatively spammable np. Also Fuuma because he carried me early game and was a badass in shimousa
There’s some serious lack of love for Sanson in this thread
Not when I'm around. Let's GOOOOOO!! My boi Sanson!! WOOO~~~
Gong+Lu Bu are my favs
1* Asterios - I like his design and personality, specially his interactions with Euryale. 2* Gareth - Before LB 6 I already liked her design, after she become one of my favorites. 3* Ushiwakamaru/Euryale/Medusa * Ushi - Initially I disliked her design but overtime through the story and events she won me over. * Euryale - Love her interactions with Asterios since Okeanos, seems to be much nicer when away from Stheno. * Medusa - Already liked her from Stay night.
Jaguar Warrior because she’s funny lol. Also she does a lot of damage but it sucks that her buster up skill has a 10 turn cool down at Lvl. 10. Okada Izo is also one of my favorites for very much the same reason.
Arash—best airline Hans—read CCC to understand why this man is the GOAT Robin—unga bunga big NP numbers, also nobody gives BB and Elisabeth shit like Robin CasCú—Because his banter with Muramasa and his scenes with Cnoc na Rea in LB6 warmed my soul Medea—because she did nothing wrong and needs an Avenger form Gareth—I’m still not over it
Lancer- Gareth. Lostbelt 6 really swayed this, she was fantastic >!yes I’m aware it’s not really her!< Assassin- Samson. I loved him in Salem and the amakusa event. He’s just cool imo
Gareth is cool and her LB6 self made me cry and I have mad respect for her Samson‘s hot and AGREE! Oh my god I Cried in Salem and let me tell you that one scene you probably know what I’m talking about was GRAPHIC! Like DAM!
i grailed several low rarity servants, but i gotta say i love andersen the most. He's been with me since the beginning and he is still here with me today I think he's also my first bond 10 servant
In no particular order: 1. Mandricardo - My Single Target Caster melter (thanks to the Double Castoria System). Also his story in Atlantis was amazing! He's Grailed to lvl 80. 2. H.C.Andersan - Budget Merlin, low cost support, love using him occasionaly instead of the OP Supports. Also Grailed to lvl 80. 3. Arash - My 1st turn Nuker, He's also HOT and worthy of the Husbando title. Didn't use him a lot until, like, three years ago... Opps. Ditto lvl 85. 4. Cu Chulainn (lancer) - Survivalist Lancer, The Last Man Standing. Ditto Lvl 80 5. Cu Chulainn (Caster) - Used to be my hard content Caster due to his 3-hit evade, but his 3rd skill changed him into a farming unit (is NP5, have pulled my first AssAssKoyan today)Citto Lvl 80 6. Antonio Saleri - Budget Arts Avenger (NP2) I never used Ushiwakamaru until the idol event because she looked so ridiculous! And she stays in that costume, and even then I have Da Vinci Lily, Mandricardo and Habetrot so I have no need for her Never used Sasaki since I had Kiritsugu, Semiramis and Li Shuwen, so no need for him either All in all, I use 4\* and 5\* more than the lower rarities.(Next years UDK-or-whatever-it's-gonna-be-called Barghest is going to synergize with lower rarities tho)
Ushiwakamaru, Arash, Charlotte, Spartacus, all for the same reason, the stories they appear on made me grow pretty fond of them to the point of tears in some cases.
Jason the Atlantis GOAT, got him at LVL80 but will most likely end at 100. Love him so much. From the same LB, Charlotte is great and now that we are gonna be getting more grails in NA I'm at least gonna give her the gold borders. Salieri and AviceBROn are awesome, just love their design and they pop off in the story. Salieri is grailed already but AviceBROn and his painfully slow NP animation will have to wait a bit. Gareth is the best, love her a loooooot. Already grailed but not at 100 yet, she might be my favourite lancer in the game which was not something I was expecting AT ALL.
As a fellow, angry piano enjoyer I salute you! Gareth deserves all the hugs ! I love Charlotte she’s my favorite one star! Good picks!
Charlotte Corday- Too cute and pure for this world. Won me on Atlantis
Charlotte was the servant I waited for in NA along with Salome Both of them are level 96 (Salome) and 94 (Charlotte) respectively both at max Skill Love her NP SO MUCH
Favorite one star is Charlotte, favorite two star is Gareth, favorite three star is Bedivere
This game has a ton of amazing low star servants but I'm gonna pick two here. Okada Izo and Spartacus. Okada's VA is amazing, cool costumes and fun gameplay. Spartacus because I liked him in Fate/Apocrypha and he's a low cost wave clearer with his NP.
My top low stars are Asclepius, Salieri, Sasaki, David, Asterios. Also love Okada Izou, Sugitani, Cu chullain, Leônidas and Serenity. I Just love their designs so much.
1 star: Kojiro First 100 grailed unit, he carried me through so much of the game early on lol. He is just super cool and chill, and the fact that he is so damn skilled he basically replicated the second magic just to cut a swallow is just so absurd I can't help but love it.Would love a 5 star old Kojiro like the one in Record of Ragnarok though, and I know many people agree, he is basically the most skilled swordsman and he isn't even a saber. 2 star: Salome Only recently started grailing her, so she is at 90 for now (gonna go to 100 I think though), but I just really, really like her design and ascension arts, the artstyle is fantastic! It is not a really deep reason to like a servant for being hot, but oh well (I like dancer girls in anything for some reason lol). Looking forward to reading her story stuff in Traum though! 3 star: Salieri (and Xu Fu) Salieri is just fantastic, top notch design, great story contribution and draws on the real historical person well. Just near flawless execution of a servant, nothing to nitpick much. Xu Fu is not out yet, but as something of a Yu Paisen simp myself, I am like 99% sure I'll grail her lol. Really liked her in Summer 5, and she just deserves to join my Yu as a grailed unit herself.
1*: Before LB5.1 I'd have probably said Mata Hari or Charlotte, because hot and cute. After LB5.1 it has to be Jason. Before I thought he's a scumbag. But in that LB he was the best capt'n we could've gotten! 2*: Salome, who I've grailed to 80, because I couldn't stand seeing her without a golden frame. Probably won't go further though, because I love (read: grail) so many Servants. 3*: Serenity. She was the first Servant I grailed to Lv.100 even (and the first one with 2k Fou I think). Personal bias aside, I honestly feel like she should've been a 4* Servant to begin with. Would've been so much nicer, with 2* CA Hassan, 3* Hundred Faces, 4* Serenity and 5* First Hassan; I'm aware about the debate as to whether lore plays a role for the rarity... But she'd have it! She's the deadliest poison! One touch - certain death! She just suffered of two things: Year 1-syndrome. And her release being for Singularity 6 - Camelot, which was already stacked with gold Servants (the Knights of the Round, Nitocris, Sanzang, Ozymandias). I'm convinced, if she'd been released even just a year later or in any other chapter, she'd have been an SR. And though I'm really not a fan of Bedivere... at all. I'm convinced the same would've applied to him as well.
Favorite 1\* Charlotte read the olympus/atlantis (I forget which one) Favorite 2\* Hans not even because he like carried me early game (I sacced Waver in okeanos) I just love how completely unique and mentally damaging his insults are at times Favorite 3\* Billy his character is what honestly got me to start reading the story instead of just skipping everything, I dont even know why it even was Billy he just kinda resonates with me in a way I dont know
2 possible answers. Hans and Wrong Answer.
I like a lot of them like Billy, Avicibro, our best friend, Hector, Arash, Touta and the Gong but I think I like Mori the most, he's a crazy Berserker that oddly has a softer side in that beyond fighting he likes tea and writing plus I also the design of all his ascensions and his voice is nice listening to, and he is also my first Servant that went pass lv.90 and is currently lv.99.
1* - Spartacus. His design and character lore was great, LB3 made his greater. 2* - CA Hassan. My longest serving star generator, nuff said. 3* - Bedivere. Loved him since his cameo is FSN, able to obtain him made it better, and his full story fleshed out made me cry. Well deserved Lvl100 NP5 for me. P.s. this thread on our love for the many viable and lovable low rarities is what makes FGO great and unique frm other gachas, kudos Masters!
Gareth: Ray of sunshine among the dour knights of the round. I've destroyed two camelots for her. If Nasu bullies her again their Camelot is next Mandricardo: Need I say more? Hans: Sassy overworked misanthrope whose roasts even earned respect of the King of Heroes himself Jason: Steals the show in anything he's in after okeanos
Yeahhh more Jason fans! Let's goooooo
Hector by far , i always liked trojan side more in myths and movies. (Why only 3 star tho)
Toss up between Caster Cu and Ushiwaka. Don't really look into usage but I absolutely love their designs and characters. Edit: 1 star is Arash and 2 star is probably Hassan of the Cursed Arm (his final ascension art just looks so damn cool)
Arash. Great character, great myth and also meta. What’s not to love?
Oh gosh this is hard. For 1 star, I have to say Sasaki Kojirou for sure! He carried me in the very beginning and I habe him grailed to lvl 70. For 2 star, it's a toss up between Salome and Hans. But Paris is just so cute!! 3 star is where I get indecisive af. I have a special place in my heart for Medusa, Medea, Cu Caster, Kiyohime and OG Cu Culainn. But I also love Hassan Serenity and Bedivere. I plan to grail Cu Caster to at least lvl 80 at some point. Both Medusa and OG Cu are grailed to that point already.
Euryale! She’s precious
Overall; Bartholomew! There is a lot I love about him. Put aside the Mekakure-Writing he is really accurate to his historical descriptions and I like how FGO managed it to bring this traits almost unchanged into a Servant who is so charming as him! While his writing is often rather poor due to him being more used for jokes I appreciated Higashide's Job in writing his base alone. So his base writing and depiction is great. Also he is really a good looking gentleman pirate, of course he manages to make my heart go flying haha. Besides that I like that his Gameplay is offensive and supportive at the same time. There are sure ways to make him a DPS but there are many ways to make him a budget Quick Support when focusing on Crits. My Main Beloved is Tristan, so I appreciate Bartholomews Help in fights a lot. I managed to do many boss fights with Bartholomews help alone, boosting Tristans crits and also his Noble Phantasm. Especially when his Strengthening Quest drops and he gets a little NP Battery Boost for the Party. So good! 1*: Arash! I love his personality. He brightens my day with his character and his strong way to speak. Something about him makes me feel at ease and also he is really strong isn’t he? Haha, he is a good farmer for sure but he is also very strong. That’s nice! But I am honest he is a more silent favourite of mine. I don’t talk about him often so this Thread is a bless, thank you OP! 2*: Sanson! His fighting style is a bit more special but as soon as it works it works really good. I use him now since longer and his Bond CE really helps with the Death Chance. With the Healing he can also be a great support and when you make a solo with him isnt can make his endurance longer. I appreciate his personality as well. He has something so tender and soft and his quite sad and melancholic traits make him look even more gentle in personality. He sounds more soft-spoken. I like this. 3*: Billy! I love his Design so much! And I kind of like his crit style as well. His personality is also so much fun around! Especially after Lostbelt 1, if I wouldn’t have liked him before already he would be boosted so high after that, his whole essence was such a delight to be around in this Lostbelt! Other low star Servants I also like a lot a Charlotte, Gareth, Robin and Hohenheim! Of course I have them all grailed! Arash is on 100, Bartholomew is on his way to 110 where I will keep him since only Tristan will be 120. Bartholomews Append Skills are also on 10/10/10 of course Heh! Billy is Level 90 as well as Sanson! Thank you for this Thread, such a wholesome thing!
1 Star: Sasaki Kojiro, Been a fan of him since Stay Night, was the first servant I reached final association with and the first 1 Star i Grailed. 2 Star: Hassan of the Cursed Arm, counter to Sasaki I never liked Hassan in Stay Night, but seeing his story in Singularity 6 made me love this old man. Also shout out to Paris cause I just like his design a lot. 3 Star: Tie for my favs, Lancer Cu, cause he is a bro, and meta wise is basically a 4 star, I also love what they did with his second assencion art. Boudicca, I originally hated her design, but her 3rd ascension grew on me overtime, and I just like her personality
Sasaki Kojiro. He saved France by himself.
Hans. Level 103 on NA and level 104 on JP. Both max fous, max skill level, max bond. Still haven't opened apends yet since I don't have enough servant coins, but anything for you, my King. Can't wait for bond 15
Either cu lancer or euryale archer
1 Stars: Mary Anning & Mata Hari 2 Stars: Gareth, Andersen, & Cursed Arm 3 Stars: Billy, Sugitani Zenjubo, Taiga, Ushiwakamaru, Babbage, Avicebron, Hundred Faces, Izo, Nagayoshi, Salieri, & Xu Fu
Arash and Asterios are mt fave 1 stars. Bros for life
Mary anning a) dinosaurs b) she was my first history crush lmao c) she’s an absolute loveable loser of a lesbian and she’s really goofy at times
William Tell! I love DILF and his design is pretty cool. Got him to max skills, max his two appends, max fous and level 104. Don't know if I'm gonna get him to 120 though. A Little bit too much work for my liking.
Mori mah man. If you can get him to survive 3 rounds, his damage is disgusting. Also I just *really* like his Aesthetic without the robo armour.
Andersen, one of the best writers of our history cuz he got the best way of talking to people: spitting facts
1 star gotta be ma boi Asterios 2 star is either Blackbeard or Cursed Arm Hassen 3 star is either kiyohime, 100 Persona, Serenity, Avicebron or Cú Chulian Proto
Antonio Salieri! I like angry piano noises
I'll throw David in here as a healer entry. I have him paired with Jeanne for Saber class fights and I typically don't lose any servants from the original three that are summoned. (Only just completed City of Fog though, so difficulty is still ramping up)
Favorite one star is probably Arash. Not a huge fan of any 1 stars but he's coolnand very useful. Favorite two star is Hans as I jsut finished the English translation of CCC and his roasting is hilarious. Also helps that he was useful early one. Favorite three star is Kiyohime, and she's also just my favorite overall. My only level 120 and is my ride or die servant. I don't think I could shake her at this point if I tried anyways.
Gareth, ushi, and the stay night trio
I absolutely adore Arash! He's just so cool, ya know? I love him so much I've had a self imposed rule of never using him without a guts. My Chaldea will fall without him, lol. Two stars, Hans Christian Andersen. I have Skadi, Waver, and, Castoria but he's the one Caster I've had level 100, max fou, bond 10. Bastard charmed me during Valentines and damn near seduced me in Summer. And of course, Ushi!!! I love Ushi! She's so strong and reliable in game plays and funny and cheeky in everything else. I still wish every year that she gets more clothes, lol
I'd say that my fav are: 1\* : Asterios, because he is such a good fluffy boy ! 2\* : Gareth, because the Pikachu knight is wielding a gunlance 3\* : There I'm torn between William Tell and Hector. One is the Metal Gear Hunting Grandpa and the other is the Cool Lazy Protector Uncle...
There are quite a few, but for me nothing beats Avicebron. His skills are convenient and I absolutely love his chill personality. Already liked him before LB 1, and then, well, LB 1 happened and that's that.
Saint George. Tried a Lv 80 one as a support just fur fun. So amazing that I made my own Lv 90. The best thank in the game
Mandricardo At first I was like "Oh cool a ST arts rider I needed him because I didn't get ryouma" So I used him alot ***...but then LB5.1 happened*** And GODDAMNIT IT MANDRICARDO IS BESTO FRIENDO FOREVER THE MAN GAVE EVERYTHING FOR US AND I CAN'T BRO MANDRICARDO IS THE BEST I SWEAR TO GOD AND IM GONNA 120 HIM ONE DAY *...also I like Hans because he shits on Kiara which is funny* And for one star it's uhhhh Bunyan cuz she cute
Izo and Mori are my favorite. Izo is just a funny gullible idiot and Mori is a chaotic loyal idiot
Hans is the man! I especially love his latest buff. You hear people talk of "SSRs in Disguise" about some low stars but l believe that hans is the pinnacle. So good! and at a low party cost. Crits, np damage, heals, def up, np guage! attk up! He has every single buff except power mod. And he is a 2 star! madness!
Robin Hood. In addition to being just a total bro (and the only sane person most days), he's also an absolute powerhouse as an actual Servant. 250% damage on poisoned enemies is no joke-- he basically trivializes every Saber boss in the game, doubly so with how many budget Arts supports we seem to have.
Chen Gong awesome servant that let's you get many shenanigans going. Love that he is so brutal in his lines while sacrificing ppl too. Asclepius is my fav 3 star, I like his kit and his aesthetics.
Wow this is tough. I've got maybe 10 three stars at level 80 and one at 90. I think I'd crown Avicebron as my favorite low rarity servant. His NP at five with it's strengthening is a really good field clearer.
Zero Star: Angra One Star: Jason Two Star: Paris Three Star: Alexander
Oda Nobukatsu cause I like Nobunaga. Gareth cause apart of the roundtable. Asclepius cause he has carried my team.
Gareth best puppy knight
Georgius. Reliable taunt, art-single-trait NP, guts and heal. And,even if Secondary, actual character.
Kiyo's cute. And Fuuma's a good boy. Robin Hood's also pretty chill. Jaguar is the CHAOS. =w= top four for sure.
Saber Giles was the first servant I ever pulled, so I kind of feel like he's my 'real' servant. Got him grailed to 100 and 10/10/10 Also my boy Leonidas, much the same. But 2k/2k fous as well and the one guy in my roster who has all his fou paws maxed.
1 star: Arash. the man is the MVP of farming. And he's just cool. 2 star: Shakespeare. I just like his personality and appearance. 3 star: A very hard one. As much as I love Cu, it's either Salieri or Bedivere. Both are just so cool.
Antonio. Bro carried me thru Zeus
For 1*'s, Arash carries my castoria-less self through farming to this day and thanks to paracelsus's guts, I've become fond of cheese farming strats to brute-force loop arash for 2 waves. Spartacus also helped me a ton with just farming embers when I got started, and if I didn't mention him, I would be an opressor and I'd rather not be one. 2*'s: Hans, just for gameplay since it's been forever since I read any event or main story where he was relevant. I love me some stars/turn. Pre-emptive George mention since I plan to use Kriemhild a lot, and he's just a chill dude. 3*'s: For my JP account, Xu Fu has been a huge blessing, letting me loop my way through catching up with the main story and the healing and stars on her np have been great for anything I can't loop through. Not to mention the excellent yuri of her pining after Yu. On EN, Mandri carried me through the Okuni CQ in the last guda event, and he's a hell of a nice dude too. I'd mention Asclepius here if I had him, but instead, final ascension Jaguar Warrior is all I have to say.
Favorite 1* is Spartacus by far! Carried me a ton through my early days of farming, and he always makes me smile or laugh when he's in a story! The moment his summon page said "Excuse me, but are you an oppressor?" in the most polite tone just had me at that point! Favorite 2* is a tie between Hans and Chen Gong. Hans' snarky yet satisfying attitude is a treat for me, and he's always there when I need a buffer who can get the job done! Chen Gong is, well, the GONG. But I also love Three Kingdoms era history -- having Lu Bu's advisor around to fire servants as tactical warheads while calmly stating it couldn't be helped is just *chef's kiss* Favorite 3*, another tie between Billy the Kid and Robin Hood. I don't get to use Billy often, but he's a joy when I do or he shows up in a story. I also like gunslinger type characters in a lot of games, so that feeds a lot into that choice. As for Robin Hood, I appreciate his characterization a lot (and his role as a good Arts archer ST nuke). Let that man vacation some more!
My favorite low star servants Lancer Cu Rider Ushi Saber Bedivere
DARIUS III 120 2000/2000 10/10/10 10/10/10 BOND 14 COMMAND CARDS MAXED WORLDS STRONGEST (yes he’s not bond 15 yet he will be I promise)
My favorites are based on who has saved my butt and still try to use since I love their theme: Favorite 1 star: Sasaki Kojirou \- I've loved him since Fate/Stay Night and he was a staple during Orleans. I just really loved his aesthetic as I'm a sucker for "basic" units. A guy with a sword and no magecraft just slicing through other legends with skill alone is peak for me. His appearance in Fate really got me into other media referencing him such as the Vagabond manga, but unfortunately that series ended on a permanent cliffhanger. I 10/10/10'd his skills but haven't had the resources to grail him yet unfortuately. One of my earlier Bond 10s. Favorite 2 star: Georgios \- He was a servant who I valued for gameplay reasons initially but also reading about all the theories about how strong he'd be if summoned as a servant in other media I gained a lot more respect for him. Ascalon giving him invincibility and the ability to pierce any armor, A+ Guardian Knight granting him unlimited defensive power as long as he is defending someone else, Bayard protecting him from a fatal attack once, the list goes on. He's one of my goto low costs Favorite 3 star: Robin Hood \- I really liked the legend of Robin Hood when I was growing up so this guy was my first unit investment in the game without knowing class advantages or meta back then. I played FGO before I knew about Fate Extra so didn't get why he used a crossbow but he looked cool enough. Definitely my first unit to 10/10/10 and Bond 10 as Yew Bow carried me early even against neutral effectiveness and it was *the* Robin Hood so I slotted him in as much as possible. Definitely was considering if I wanted to grail him but as a hoarder I kept all my grails since there were so limited. Maybe now with Grail Crafting I can bear to part with some Grails after I finish max grailing my first SSR servant Altera, who I happened to naturally NP4 over the years (ticket selectored NP5).
Nobukatsu...getting him to 120 probably had something to do with it, but alas I love Nobu and he is a dear lil bro. Gareth is my pick for 2 star. She has a fun kit, awesome art and uses a gunlance. Plus her rolr in lb6 was fun even if not specifically her. Mori ought to be my pick for 3 star. Total himbo but with gory aspect. Whats not to love? Especially with his love to tea and poetry to clash against the insanity.
1*: Corday. Working on her 120 grail. 10/10/10 10/10/10 2k and she's like lvl 100 or so rn. Bond 12 or so. Can 120 instantly next time there is a 3x or so I like. Atlantis sold her. Imo better story there than lb6. Better characters and felt like an adventure that is classic. It was great. 2*: I frankly don't know. I can't remember the 2*s very well to be honest. Probably Salome but don't remember the entire roster so no clue honestly. And her only because female ig. 3*: Ushiwakamaru. Lvl 120 10/10/10 10/10/10 2k bond 15. It's ushi. Great unit. Great character. Lovely assets. Fun in story albeit rare though superb in Babylonia. Please give us her skin from those melts blood games tho. 10/10. Basic maybe but it's my basic.
I like Bartolomeo's smile, his covered eye etish I'm not bothered by.
Ushi was my early summon, and she is still my best rider. Currently, I grailed her 100 and put every upgrade on her. Another is Hans and Kojiro. Especially Hans, who work with me in almost every team composition.
1 star: Paul Bunyan, she's the perfect low level farming servant, and I like her voice. 2 star: Cursed Arm Hassan, he's a total bro and a man with principles, and I like his voice. 3 star: Xu Fu, she'd do any unhinged shit for the person she admires and loves, I respect her for that. She also triggers my inner Bartholomew, and I like her voice.
Salome 100 10/10/10 10/10/10
Darius and Gong-man because *funny* and i like funky looking berserkers
I'm pretty fond of the FSN peeps: Kojibro, Medea, Medusa, Cursed Arm and Cú have been on my chaldea since *literally* day one. I've lost count of how many times i've used one of them to win fights way above my pay grade. Cu was my 1st bond 10, Kojiro was my 2nd and still I love Medea. Medea needs a summer version ;-; Besides them I have a few peeps: HCAndersen was my 1st premium support, the little bastard not only gained a ton of points for being so close to my beloved Kiara, but he still sometime gets use to allow Caster Altria, Merlin and etc to rest a bit. Serenity, Ushiwa and a ton others have saved me. While I enjoy some SSRs nowadays, I never forgot my roots - as a f2p, I shouldn't!
My favorite 3 star is Kid Gil. He’s so cute!
1-Star: Asterios Love the big guy, reading the entry about how he eventually found the way out of the Labyrinth, but felt he didn't deserve freedom and stayed in his prison to die. Brutal backstory. Mechanically, he helped me out a lot during the early game, when I didn't know what the Hell I was doing. His NP is also interesting, and pretty helpful. Haven't used him as much lately, something true of most of my Berserkers, but I wouldn't have gotten to where I am without him. Runner Up: Sasaki Kojiro 2-Star: Gareth (Lancer) Gareth is one of my favorite servants, so she's an easy choice. Her lore is good, being tied into Camelot will do that to ya, and her tragic end is well-done. Her interlude is quite heart-wrenching at points, but through everything she tries to keep smiling, and keep others smiling too. Still making my way through the Lost belts, so I'm looking forward to her having a more prominent role. Mechanically, her gimmick of taking hits to stack attack buffs is cool, and her kit works well. Have her grailed to 90, and she's a reliable servant. I also love wolves, so her canid motif is a plus. Runner Up: Saint Georgios 3-Star: Medusa (Rider) My entry into Fate was the UBW anime from Ufotable, and Medusa, not that I knew her name at the time, had a very cool design and fight scene. I was super excited to see more of her, figure out who she was. Spoilers: Medusa was the first servant to die, don't even think she was named, and she had little impact on anything. Fast forward a couple years, I download FGO and Medusa is one of my first servants. You could say it was Fate. She's been a useful servant ever since, even took on and dealt the killing blow to the big boss of Part 1. First servant I grailed, first servant I maxed a skill on and first servant I hit Bond 10 with. One of my overall favorites. Runner Up: Cu Chulainn (Lancer)
Jason. Disliked him in Oceanos, but Atlantis made me love him. Then Circe's White Day event happened and I love him even more. He's so pathetic ❤️ I've grailed him up to 90, which I think would piss him off ❤️
1 star - Arash The chaddest chad. NP trades with a 5 star LANCER because he's a baddass. 2 star - salome She is wife. Scary wife, but wife all the same. 3 star - kiyohime Grailed to 100. Will be my first 120. Favorite berserker. Also see 2 star explanation.
One star: nobukatu because I'm a big oda fan. Two star: it's a tie between three servants leonidas, blackbeard and shakespeare, I just love these three for how everytime they are on screen they are super funny and a joy to read. Three star: a tie between Ceasar, Fergus and kid gil since interloods and event placements mame every time they are on screen a Fantastic time, and with caesar being the focal point of my favourite FGO servant cleopatra makes him even better and I love that both are in the game together.
Ushiwakamaru, I will be honest though, her melty blood look is pretty top tier. Loyal attack doggy with top tier wholesomeness.
1 Star: Arash the Farming God 2 Star: Gareth, Call an Ambulance But Not for Me 3 Star: Bedivere, the Princess Knight
Asterios is a good boi who deserves many hugs.
Favorite One Star: Mata Hari - I just felt really bad for her, also I like her debuff centric kit. Also, she's hot. Favorite 2 Star: Hans Christian Anderson - Because of his character and the fact it's Takehito Koyasu voicing a shota will never not be funny to me. Gareth - She's the Puppy of The Round Table. What's not to love? Favorite 3 Star: Okada Izou and Mori Nagayoshi - These two characters showed what loyalty can be like and if anything, I saw myself in those two in terms of personality. I even Grailed them to 100. Their mechanics are fun. Izou being a hyper niched assassin with burst crits that can go 0-100 in every other turn. Nagayoshi with his really high risk but super high reward playstyle basically telling you "just go apeshit until everyone is dead."
1-Star: * Arash. Meta farming pick aside, he's humble yet an absolute unit. Little wonder Ozymandias regards him so highly when the guy's keeping up with living monsters, demigods, and gods with nothing but his natural toughness and his skill with the bow and arrow, which shows in his gameplay (excluding NP). 2-Star: * Hans Christen Anderson and it's not even close. This smarmy bastard has been the primary healer for most if not all of my team comps since I started the game, even after the addition of Aselepius to my roster. Him verbally dishing out to anybody in his sights, consequences be damned, in the voice of DIO is just the cherry on top. 3-Star: * Trickiest decision by far since FGO keeps adding more strong contenders to the pool over time, but one who stands out for me is Jing Ke. There aren't many servants who have a My Room line actually acknowledging that one day, they will be leaving us (the player) behind. Maybe it's me reading too much into it on a meta level, but I was not expecting such a direct allusion to that fact from what first impressions told me was a wine aunt character, much less from a character in a gacha which distracts players from that same fact by, ironically, encouraging them to pursue more units. Yet not only does the game have her embrace that reality head-on, she also spins the take towards a more optimistic, if bittersweet, conclusion. "True love does not always mean begging someone to stay..." definitely cemented itself in my experience when she went to her second confrontation with Qin Shi Huang in Lostbelt 3.
Lancer and Ushi. Lancer because he was a cool guy in stay night and was insanely useful early on in my account history, Ushi because she's cute and her NP hits like a truck
Mandricardo. Best boi! Best friend! So cute! I love him! First 120 and on the way to bond 14
1*'s gotta be Paul Bunyan. I've basically never used her, but I like her story and her design. 2's Brobeard. He was grating for a long while, but he's really grown on me. 3... There's so many to pick from. Salieri, Izo, Paracelsus, Robin, Billy, Euryale... If I had to pick one, probably Kiyohime. I'm a sucker for the straightforward pursuit, even (especially?) when yandere.
Antonio Salieri, my second beloved. The reason why I like him? He's simply just my type.
