Definitive Fate Grand Order tier list and a reroll guide

Finest heroic spirits of all

The servants categorized at the top of Fate Grand Order tier list are in a league of their own. They are exceptional in the sense they form the quintessential pillar of the core gameplay. They are considered servants whose acquisition is of utmost priority (and hence, new players are highly encouraged to save and splurge their SQ savings on these servants whenever an opportune banner swings by) owing to their fantastic, flexible versatility and widespread use in all content of the game – covering both the farming and hard bits of the game. Set sail as we dive deep down the Imaginary Sea and explore the strength of these servants.

Farming tier list. As a traditional practice in gacha games, FGO requires players to grind stages repeatedly to acquire resources like EXP cards and ascension materials to unlock their servants’ maximum potential. This will include the daily farming quests located in Chaldea Gate, Free quests, Event farming quests (with lottery farming quests being the fan-favorite as it yields a surplus of essential materials) with the occassional Raid quests containing a singular Raid boss providing a stage for ST servants to shine. In this list, we will rank each servant based on how well they perform based on their skill kit using on the attributes or class they possess that make them the superior farming choice that can clear waves per turn.

Space Ishtar – Being able to freely switch the typing of her formidable NP – Edin Shugurra Quasar allows her to synergize well with any team, coupled with naturally high damage output (thanks to multiple buffs by her own skill set and 1.1x damage modifier courtesy of her class) and an instant 50% NP charge makes her top tier. Well, not at the very top of the FGO tier list, but a close second place. Arjuna (Alter) – AoE Buster NP servant with a unique gimmick, allowing him to deal godly damage (pun intended) directly proportional to the number of debuffs stacked on enemies with his 1st skill. His powerful NP – Mahapralaya further reduce enemies’ resistance to any attacks of Buster type. His 2nd skill bolsters his Buster face cards critical damage to finish off any singular tough enemies. Leonardo Da Vinci (Rider) – Her 3rd skill casts a party-wise NP overcharge (along it is a nice little 10% NP charge), while her AoE NP – Beautiful Journey deals significant damage, it also provides a party-wide 20% NP charge. To top it all off, her 1st skill makes her NP spammable as it provides a 20% self-charge for 3 turns consecutively. All in all, a compact NP battery that can deal serious damage if needed. Sakata Kintoki – A ST NP servant with an impressive 50% NP charge, excellent at dealing with singular mobs with high HP in farming stages in events or raid-boss style farming stage (seen in Lady Reine’s Case File Events and Rashomon for instance). Sima Yi (Queens) – She offers a party-wide 10% NP charge and a targetable 20% NP charge to an ally. Comes with a targetable invincibility buff that can withstand two hits for 3 turns with her 3rd skill. Her NP – Unspoken Formation offers a unique buff to your allies that negates any cla ss disadvantage to your allies, meaning your Lancer won’t take super-effective damage from a saber. Tamamo-no-Mae – Her Skill Cooldown Reduction by 1 makes her beloved (along with her floof). She provides this via her NP – Eightfold Blessing of Amaterasu, along with continuous healing and decent party-wide NP charge. She functions well in an Arts team as her 3rd skill provides an Arts damage-up buff. Her 1st skill stalls enemies by decreasing their NP charge by 1. She’s a very good team support that provides consistent healing by NP looping, her NP is also invaluable as it can reduce the skill cooldown of your allies by 1, which is a rare commodity. Himiko – A support servant that provides one of the best Buster performance buffs to her fellow allies with her NP – Eternal Mirror that Models the Celestial Bodies, alongside the appreciated NP overcharge 2 stages. Her skill kit is self-sufficient as it cranks up critical damage output for her regular Buster cards, coupled with the imperative crit star generation buff bestowed upon her allies to secure a constant source of critical stars. True to her lore, she comes with the anti-demonic beast quirk and is ideal for a demonic class of servants/bosses. Zhuge Liang (El-Melloi II) – The staple of any team, his skillset provides an abundance of utility, with the NP charge to your ally servants (50% to a single servant, 20% to every servant) along with valuable damage and defense buffs. To add to his arsenal, his NP has a high chance to disable enemies for a turn by stunning them with the added advantage of lowering their NP gauge by 1. Perfect for any tough challenge quests. Players commonly bring along two for farming (one from a support servant, the other one under the player’s ownership). Achilles – The best Rider-class AoE damage dealer in this roster, suitable for farming and high-end difficulty quests. He can also act as a makeshift defence thanks to his taunt skill that directs all attacks toward him for one turn. Altria Pendragon – Deals impressive AoE damage, and while she may not perform much in the current meta, she is poised to receive multiple game-changing buffs in the future that make her absolutely top tier. Also a bonus point for being the poster girl. Enkidu – His skill set makes him a particularly excellent ST damage dealer that can fare well against all kinds of bulky foes in Challenge Quests, particularly enemies with the Divine trait as his NP stuns them. He has high sustainability as one of his skills can heal a whopping 10000 HP and debuff removal to keep him healthy. He can amplify his Buster/Quick/Arts damage output with his skill. Just like Jack the Ripper, his high hit counts allow him to support the team by generating a surplus amount of critical stars. Jack The Ripper – A very powerful ST damage dealer with good NP gain, ideal for taking down bulky foes and is more effective on females – true to her lore. Her high hit counts can indirectly support the party by generating an enormous amount of critical stars. In challenge quests, she can also dispel buffs from a tough enemy. Lastly, she can also serve as a healer thanks to her skill that restore a chunk of HP to an ally. Xuanzang Sanzang – A strong ST damage dealer that can self-charge NP by a whopping 80% while buffing allies to let them gain NP more easily. Her skill can taunt enemies and make her a punching bag. Ideal for content with a tough Assassin boss. Francis Drake – A great AoE damage dealer ideal for farming situations thanks to her self-charge NP by 50%. Her skill offers good NP damage and Attack buffs to offensively support allies. Mordred – Deals high AoE damage thanks to self-buffs her skill kit provides. Ideal for farming situations, her skill can generate critical stars on the spot to support the team. In the future, Artoria is the superior option but nevertheless, she is still good in her own right. Bradamante – An AoE damage dealer primarily used for farming content, Even in hard content, any team appreciates the 60% chance to stun with her NP, as well as 20% NP charge and debuff removal to an ally as support. Jeanne D’Arc – A bulky supporter thanks to her class as a ruler. Her NP provides a party-wide invincibility and is instrumental for a lot of challenge quests that require endurance.

Some of the 4* characters are just as good as the 5* ones, if not better than some. They can be found and upgraded just like the others and can be crucial in some specific instances. FGO contains some of the most difficult boss fights throughout the story mode, as you may well know by now. In addition, challenge quests are frequently found in many events and contain in-game lucrative rewards. So, in this tier list, we will take at look at all the 4* servants and how each one performs against these high-end difficulty quests, including story boss fights, memorial quests and challenge quests – let’s take a look at the Fate Grand Order tier list of the 4* servants!

Nitocris – Her high instant-death rate towards waves of mobs makes her AoE NP – Anpu Neb Ta Djeser a formidable tool for clearing waves of mobs, perfect for the daily farming quests, coupled with a whopping 120% NP charge that allows her to fire off her NP instantly Mash Kyrielight – Starter with solid support skills. Her skill set and NP – Lord Camelot is oriented to exclusively boosts your allies’ defences to sky-high levels. Her second skill provides a targetable invincible buff to protect your ally from danger for a turn. Her 3rd skill taunts enemies, making her a good punching bag thanks to her one-and-only Shielder class that renders attacks from other classes neutral. Sakata Kintoki (Rider) – A welfare servant whose damage department goes beyond ultra, can indirectly support the team with the best critical star generation with how easy it is to form Quick chains. His high hit count and great NP gain make it possible to spam his ridiculously powerful NP – Golden Drive again and again, especially with how easy it is to unlock his NP’s maximum potential. Chloe von Einzbern – Second welfare in this list whose damage potential tops even the highest rarity. She is capable of spamming NP – Tripe Cane Wings readily with her 2 Arts face card with a staggering 6 hit counts, good NP gain and 3rd skill providing an instant 50% NP charge. All while dealing exceptional critical damage.

Don’t be surprised that some of the lower rarity units can rank this high! We have characters such as Arash and Chen Gong who easily place in the SS tier thanks to their versatility and downright insane AoE damage. These units rank better than most of the 4* ones, and they are fairly easy to obtain as well. You will most likely obtain most of them through the regular gacha, as their rates as much higher than the other units – especially the 5-star characters. They might not be at the top of the tier list for Fate Grand Order, but you should definitely not neglect them.

Arash – Stellar Airlines. His NP – Stella has a built-in multiplier, bolstering his neutral damage capable of clearing waves of mobs in one fell swoop while trading his life in return. Thus providing a free switch-in for your backline servants. His 3rd skill provides his own self 30% NP charge.Chen Gong – His NP – Kikaku Ichijin works similarly to Arash (high neutral damage, though slightly behind Arash) with the caveat of knocking out one servant (by default, your first servant present in the team will be killed) and provide a free switch-in. In addition, he provides a party-wide 10% NP charge, along with a defence buff to bulk up your team. His 3rd skill aids Berserker class servants with a Buster damage up.Hans Christian Andersen – Versatile support unit bringing significant value for its rarity. His NP – Marchen Meines Lebens provides attack, defence, and healing per turn and Critical Star drop rate to every ally. He more than makes up for the low accuracy of the NP’s buffs by being able to consistently cast his NP thanks to his high NP gain and 2nd skill that offers an instant 75% NP charge.

In order to have the best possible start in the game, you might want to consider rerolling the moment you start playing the game. The process is fairly easy, and it’s something that many players are used to in gacha games. This Fate Grand Ord er reroll guide will guide you step by step throughout the process, as well as which units you should keep. Let’s dive in!

Part 1

While you are playing the game, you will be able to reroll for the very first time during the tutorial. This tutorial gacha is going to give you 10 units, but the highest rarity you can get is 4*. Players can get multiple 4* units, among which: Marie Antoinette (Rider), EMIYA (Archer), Siegfried (Saber), Chevalier d’Eon (Saber), Heracles (Berserker), Stheno (Assassin), Carmilla (Assassin), Tamamo Cat (Berserker), Elisabeth Bathory (Lancer), Martha (Rider).

The goal is to obtain at least two 4* units, and preferably another good lower rarity. You can reroll this tutorial gacha as many times as you want for free, until you acquire the unit that you want.

Part 2

Once you finished the tutorial gacha, assuming that you have gotten your choice of (at least two) 4* units, it’s time to move on to the actual summons. Honestly, there’s not much else to add to this at this point – the entire rerolling process mainly revolves around the tutorial gacha, but once you finish it, you can start collecting quartz for the normal and special summons. Keep these until you see a gacha pool with one of the units that you want, but keep in mind that the chances of getting 5* units is rather low.

The best approach?

It would be best to upgrade the 4* and lower units that are currently ranking high in our FGO tier list, and not spend hundreds of hours on account transfers and whatnot. You will have plenty of chances to acquire quartz during special events and whatnot, so in the meantime we recommend sticking to your gacha pulls.

What characters to reroll for in FGO

The best 4* characters to reroll for are:

• Heracles
• Carmilla
• EMIYA

If you can pull all three of them, you should definitely keep and bind your account, because you’re set up for success!
