Any of the 5 stars currently avaliable will get you very far into the game, and all of them can be used in some way shape or form. The rate for 5 stars is 1%, please keep this in mind when rerolling / spending money on this game.
We are applying a new tier list rating system right now. The list is more focused on how a servant performs more in neutral situations rather than advantageous or disadvantageous situations.
If you have any opinions on this, we'd like to hear your feedback so we can continue to improve this list.
| Tier | Criteria |
|---|---|
| S | Can fill a wide variety of roles, class disadvantage is negligible, has an easy 50-50 chance in 1v1 or better |
| A | Can fill a wide variety of roles, has an easy 50-50 chance in 1v1 or better |
| B | Can fill multiple roles |
| C | Has a specific role |
| D | Cannot find a role, can only be good for stats |
| E | Needs strengthening |
| EX | Does not fit in any category |
Adding "+" means the servant's rank increases by 1 step given certain conditions: purpose, combo, role, team synergy. Best applied only to notable servants. Can be applied multiple times

| Servant | Condition |
|---|---|
Cu Chulainn (Alter) | You can consider him a rank higher when he's fighting alone. |
| Servant | Rating Explanation |
|---|---|
Zhuge Liang | Waver is an amazing support Servant who will be useful even into the later game, as he can provide the most NP charge to other members of the party, in addition to good buffs on attack, defense and crit damage. His own NP has to ability to stall by stunning and decrease the enemy's NP charge while also inflicting a defense down. Keep in mind that he is a support servant, and will do just that. He won't be dealing a huge amount of damage. |
Gilgamesh | NP deals extra damage against most servants, and he also has an NP gain up skill. His NP gain is further enhanced by his ability to use stars (star absorb skill), and the standard Independant Action allows him to deal huge amonts of crit damage. Keep in mind that he is only avaliable on a limited Gacha, so he isn't the best reroll target. |
Jeanne d’Arc | Jeanne is an amazing servant in the early to mid game, as she resists damage from all classes except Berserker. She also provides party-wide invincibility for a turn, which can be used to absorb the damage from enemy NPs when the battle goes long. In the later game she starts to fall off because her NP stuns her for two turn and she has low damage potential, combined with the introduction of enemies with invincibility piercing abilities. However when she recieves her interlude, the stun demerit is removed from her NP, which makes her useful once again. |
Sakata Kintoki | Currently, Kintoki's NP Brave chains are able to deplete a significant portion of most enemies' HP, making him a highly effective Servant. His performance, however, will continually decrease as opponents' HP amounts are increased later on in the game. |
Altria Pendragon | The Flagship Saber, can provide benefits to the team with her Charisma and has Prana Burst to enhance her Noble Phantasm. She has high HP and her NP has an overcharge effect of gaining NP charge. However as it is not a single target NP it will not burst down bosses quickly. |
Vlad III | At launch he likely one of the strongest servants in the game, due to being the only 5 star Berserker (with stats to match). However be will truly shine when Tamamo no Mae is released, who will allow him to repeatedly use his NP to great effect. For now, he can do well just from his stats and class. |
Altera | Altera is a powerful Saber class servant, with selfish skills that enable her as an attacker. Her NP has the capability to obliterate waves, especially when paired with her buffs. An important thing to note is her final skill unlocks with her third ascension which is currently hard to obtain. With the highest attack stat in the current state of the game, and her divinity passive she can and will obliterate targets, even more so with a brave chain and/or crits. |
Edmond Dantes | High ATK and a skillset that promotes offense, Dantes is a great offensive servant to have. Wether as the center of your team or as support, he plays a well-rounded role. He plays into quick and critical centered teams as per his command deck and Noble Phantasm. Due to his average star generation and abyssmal NP gain rate, he is not suited to operating alone or expected to carry any battles. The lack of survivability tools enforce this even more. |
Jeanne d’Arc (Alter) | Possessing a very high ATK stat and the most damage-focused skillset among virtually all ingame Servants, Jeanne Alter's offensive capabilities in a critical team is unmatched, though due to her Avenger class, she will deal neutral damage most of the time. |

| Servant | Condition |
|---|---|
Merlin | An S class servant when standing alone, he can be considered ascending a rank on the condition that he has any ally with him at all. |
Gilgamesh | Completing the strengthening quest would considerably power him up. |
Jeanne d’Arc | Completing the strengthening quest would considerably power her up. |
Cu Chulainn (Alter) | You can consider him a rank higher when he's fighting alone. |
Katsushika Hokusai | On condition that she fights against enemies with the trait of "man" |
Vlad III | Completing the strengthening quest would considerably power him up. |
Nikola Tesla | Completing the strengthening quest would considerably power him up. |
Nightingale | Completing the strengthening quest would considerably power her up. |
Illyasviel von Einzbern | Completing the strengthening quest would considerably power her up. |
Sessyoin Kiara | Completing the strengthening quest would considerably power her up. |
Mysterious Heroine X (Assassin) | Completing the NP strengthening quest power her up. Fighting saber-faces significantly increases her usefulness. |
Medb | Completing the strengthening quest would considerably power her up. |
Leonardo Da Vinci | Her effectiveness is tied to her team line-up. She does considerably better in arts based teams. |
| Servant | Rating Explanation |
|---|---|
Merlin | Having most of the kit needed for hard quests (damage buffs, healing, star generation, party Invulnerability, and NP charge), Merlin allows players to clear challenges way more easily. His notable weaknesses are that he is unable to provide a defense buff, and that his Invulnerability skill has a rather long cooldown. |
Zhuge Liang | Providing a significant on-demand NP charge as well as performance boost for a certain duration, Zhuge Liang is most suited for fast-paced battles. As he lacks healing and significant defensive skills, however, he is somewhat unsuited for drawn-out fights. |
Jeanne d’Arc | With her NP's stun no longer in the picture, Jeanne is now a highly consistent defensive Servant, providing a teamwide Invulnerability, healing, and the coveted party debuff removal. These factors place her as one of the most sought after Servants for harder content. |
Jeanne d’Arc (Alter) | Possessing a very high ATK stat and the most damage-focused skillset among virtually all ingame Servants, Jeanne Alter's offensive capabilities in a critical team is unmatched, though due to her Avenger class, she will deal neutral damage most of the time. |
Ereshkigal | While Ereshkigal possesses notable support capabilities, these are not exactly what we would call 'decisive', especially given Protection from the Underworld's only 50% uptime. While she can also be used offensively, her lower NP damage and lack of critical absorption leaves her in an awkward spot, where her QQABB deck compromises her mainly supportive role. |
