The sad part about Mash and which you didn't mention (presumably because of spoilers), is what happens to her skill kit once you hit Lostbelts. That's what made me drop her out of my main party in the end, since she no longer provided the abilities I needed for my party compositions

[@yukio9723]

Meanwhile me who always use her in losbelt. Well mainly for 20% extra bond

[@pucci405]

George does her job but better to be honest, the only things mash has over him are that she costs 0, the fact that assassins won't deal x2 damage to her and the higher level cap. George gets a casual 40% defense buff (+20% with the NP), a 3 turn taunt and guts plus a nice heal AND maxed out coin skills / NP if you roll on the FP gacha enough.

[@yukio9723]

Btw... You can use Mash original form in Losbelt 6 later. I didn't really understand the story tho.

[@Slvrwlf]

@@pucci405 Eh, Georgios doesn't offer the same things at all. Pre-Lostbelt post-Camelot Mash is a beast of a party support. The defence buff with the huge damage cut, the invincible and NP charge, the taunt and then that godly NP with even more defence, and an attack buff too. Georgios has almost none of that. A taunt doesn't help the party against an enemy that attacks the entire party for instance. A lot of the comparison has to do with how they're used. Georgios is a great tank but he doesn't support the party outside of drawing single target attacks in most situations. Mash simply has a wider kit overall, with the Lostbelt Mash sporting two separate taunts for different situations while Lostbelt Mash desperately needs that buff that she has on JP to get any use of the first skill.

[@pucci405]

@@Slvrwlf I meant to compare him to lostbelt Mash not OG Mash, her kit does get much much worse as you said. (1 dead skill, 2 taunts which should have just been a single skill and a hit based defensive np? *Pain*)

[@truekurayami]

Welfare getting put into F2P or even special interludes(like Seraph) for them after so long, would be absolutely beautiful. I'm one of those unfortunate players that joined early enough that Kentoki Rider was one of the most wanted 4stars, and the full first act wasn't even available.

[@Florkl]

“What about VR Mash,” is a valid point considering you are forced to use her against Lost Belt content and, now, a good chunk of events, largely negating her status as an amazing tank and relegating her to a CE holder- a role she is great at, but any 1 star servant can perform that role almost as well.

[@foolbio5471]

Here's a little love for Perceval, why cause he can support the team through taunt and heals (making him very nice as a tank/secondary damage dealer) and... he can loop his np! Mind you, it's probably dicey without castoria but that is still impressive. Also c'mon, look at him, he's a snack~

[@luvslotsastuff]

As someone with both Archer and Caster Gil at level 100, NP5, bond 15, 10/10/10, 2000/2000, I really hope both of them get buffs replacing their charisma skills at some point, since the game has really moved past skills with only one effect.

Everyone works IMO, playing the game's basically becoming a swiss knife: you just need the right tools for the right enemies Edit: Also, you can watch Honako videos for more complex mechanics, he's a very good F2P friendly player

[@klidge]

Every servant is usable if they are built with right and have the right supports. It’ll just be more difficult than using others. Like I love Gareth even though she’s fairly middle of the road in terms of servants, but knowing when to bring a character and how to use them is important as well

[@hmmmooops]

Since the game allows you to grail servants and there's no competition you can just use your favourites. But if you want to do the really hard battles without command spells or quartz then you'll need to get some of the good supports like Castoria. One or two of those will enable you to use every other servant you like (except the really bad early ones that just don't work.)

[@Zictive]

Every character in the game is usable and should be able to beat whatever content the game throws at you since the game isn't very difficult given if you actually know what you're doing i.e. Class advantage, using the right supports, knowing mechanics and team building (which you would need if you wanted to beat some CQs) Plus we have so many ways to improve our servant's capabilities (Grailing, Fou Paws, CC, CEs, Supports) that we can pretty much use whoever we want.

Long videos are nice! Thank you for the great content!

[@AlkronLoki]

I love that Shiki is just Queen of 4 Star Assassins, and heck, ST Arts Assassins in entirety. Every single other ST Arts Assassin always gets the question of "how do they compare to Shiki". Not even 5 Stars escape this. When Old Man Li came out, a LOT of people asked "how does he compare to Shiki". A brand new, super hyped 5 Star assassin, several years after Shiki's event, and even he can't escape her shadow.

[@Cav829]

I think this is a pretty good list overall. If I were to change two things, I'd swap Gil out for Helena based on JP's current state. Helena's 50% self-charge on top of her support capabilities make her both the best 4* support as well as a very good farmer. Second, Hephaestion is the biggest oversight IMO. Her 100% personal self-battery as well as effectiveness against 7 different classes are incredible both for farming 90+ nodes as well as clearing bosses. And her NP is easily spammable. Finally, she's the best option currently available for dealing with Alter Ego servants other than going for a limited SSR (Kama) or heavily investing into Baobhan Sith's appends.

[@klidge]

Honestly I had Hephaestion on here as an honorable mention but cut her for time. Everything you said is accurate but I want to see how they handle others in her class before placing her too highly. At present though she is very powerful for the early game, her attack is just kind of meh

[@Cav829]

@@klidge Perfectly reasonable. Thanks for the response. I would tend to agree she's more ideal of a 90+ node farmer than boss killer once bosses get really chunky since she's going to hit a 1.5x multiplier than a 2.0x in most cases (outside of against casters and Alter Egos) and her battery has a long cooldown. I'm sure with Castoria + Tamamo that takes care of those issues, but then you're getting into expensive supports. As a farmer though she's been pretty invaluable for me in just two events since like Nito, I'm not sitting there worried about whether the event's CE has charge or not, and 150k-200k enemies are reasonable enough for her to deal with.

[@Jack_Rakan]

Honestly, even without the buff to Helena for the 50% self battery, I'd still put her above CasGil. Now, while I do not have CasGil myself, I do sometimes use Emiya, and heavily use my grailed Suzuka, who both have the same 'Fire the NP to clear one wave, and generate 40+ stars to get crits on the next wave' mentality... and it is very much an unreliable strategy. You will get screwed over by bad card RNG every other time you try to rely on it. Additionally, Helena's rainbow buff is better than just a normal attack buff, though I admit Gil is better at supporting Arts specifically, and her team battery helps in the 'use 3 NP's to clear nodes' meta. And her NP hits harder if she gets the 80% chance NP damage amp, as well as having a better secondary effect that lets her be used in final nodes that have very high HP bosses in her Defense drop.

[@thegamerfe8751]

[@adriansolea4483]

Only problem I'd have with the tier list is the berzerker honorable mention, since I think that summer Jalter is better since she got some form of survivability, an NP battery. Which pretty much allows her to give you a broken bar on turn one with the nice support or just on her own depending on the boss.

[@klidge]

Fair enough. In my own experience I favor Penth, but Jalter is absolutely on par

[@Junodragon6780]

There should be put into three categories, these servants are amazing in their own way but depending on if they are supports, sub-supports, or main dps will either make or break your team. For example, going a against a Rider only team where you have to use Assassins only and trying not to get anyone killed challenge, Osakabahime, Katoru, and Mash are your beast support choice. Osakabahime give pretty good buff when you get her NP charge to max, she has her own defense AND she can provide attack buffs for everyone in the team. Katoru is great for debuffs rather that is his NP charge doing it or his main skills, which are perfect for shutting down crit boss and crit enemies in general. Mash is a bit tricky because post Mash give EVERYONE defense buffs with her main abilities until you hit the lost belts chapters. (The outfit is optional to removes, but some chapters the outfit is required). But those arw some of the examples I have for Servants that are not 4 stars, but there are 4 star characters like the ones I mentioned up above that should be categorized baised off of the three main fighting styles.

[@dindapriska]

Not enough, imo. Casgil still offers more things than her in the long run.

[@FateFan-ko3lc]

While I genuinely understand why Ryougi Shiki is the best 4 star assassin I’m more a fan of Kiritsugu Emiya. His ability to crit star gen and crit is insane and he’s one of the few servants in fgo that I know of that has a three turn ignore invincibility which is extremely strong along with his fifty percent crit power up buff. I know the general complaint is that his np gen is terrible and I can absolutely understand that but I love him nonetheless

[@A2ZOMG]

Emiya usually outscales Shiki in longer fights where his better crit DPS and, crit rate debuff, and NP drain have time to be given value on a proper comp and also generally scales harder the better your CE lineup is when you have more crit star/NP gain options to feed him resources. For the purposes of quick burst looping though it's def easier to use Shiki. Also he's actually one of Shiki's better partners when you remember targetable taunt exists and stacking same class type is often really important against bosses.

Frankly I feel sorry for my Heracles, because I got Cu as my first SSR when I started FGO back up a few years ago during the male Valentine's banner, which I was ironically rolling on FOR Heracles (rather than reroll the account for him, I went with Carmilla because that's who I got on my first account's roll and felt nostalgic for her). When I first played the game before quitting, Cu Alter had been one of my desired SSRs (in part because "haha red card go brr"). So despite having summoned Heracles and even have him NP2, I never use him unless I need to save the party cost somewhere or just feel like running double solo beasts. Also, I fully agree that Welfares should be either added simply to FP gacha and/or their event is released to the rare prism store. Part of that is my bias against unobtainable units in any game, though... to the point I'm not particularly keen on limited servants.

Funny enough I didn’t get Hurc until last year. Cu Alter was my second SSR after da Vinci and he hard carried me through the story. He still is one of my favs to this day even though he’s fallen off a bit in the meta. But, he’ll always hold a place in my heart

Well, given my predictions from last video, 6 out of 10 isn't that bad. And I did do a good job predicting some of the Honorable Mentions. Truth be told, I was half wanting to predict Rider Kintoki but second-guessed myself because I wanted to see if you would go for a non-contrarian choice. And I forgot Fairy Knight Tristan existed. Alright...5-Star Time... Saber: Artoria Pendragon (Her buffs saved her from the accursed "Year One Syndrome" a lot of these sorts of units struggle with. Now she can reliably wave clear and Buster Brave Chain. Nice feathers in her cap, er, crown) Archer: Super Orion (Has the ability to solo some of the hardest content in the game. Plays under the style of "spam NP to get swole" and does so in spades. Has some of the highest crit damage of all Servants) Lancer: Fairy Knight Lancelot, aka Mesuline (Pick your poison: efficent single-target Arts boss killer, or AoE Buster spammer with 100% charge?) Rider: Reines, aka Sima Yi (She's like Waver, but a Rider! Is a bit more focused on assisting a single unit and the Rider class does get in the way of stars, but she can help in getting that extra 50% NP Charge for units that need it...IF I HAD ONE!) Caster: Artoria Pendragon, aka Castoria (Yeah, no surprise here. She essentially did to Arts Cards what Skadi did to Quick Cards, and then some. She possesses the strongest form of defense on paper: an invincibility that cannot even be penetrated by Ignore Invincibility) Assassin: Koyanskya of Light (Buster Reload Strats. Dare I say more?) Berserker: Arjuna Alter (One of the strongest wave-clearing damage Servants ever created, period. I think there's a reason DW never gave this guy another rerun, only time will tell if Lasagna will give the people his power as well...) Ruler: Jeanne D'Arc (One of the best stall units in the game. Especially since she no longer has to stun herself every time she NP's) Avenger: Space Ishtar (A legend amongst farming Servants. She is compatible with all Card Metas thanks to her flexible skill set) Moon Cancer: Summer BB (Gimmicky...yet fun. She can freeze your team's card lineup for three turns, allowing for guaranteed Brave Chains in most situations) Alter Ego: Bazett, aka Manannán mac Lir (Can break the rules of the game with her Fragarach NP; allowing her the potential to kill bosses just by countering their attacks and debuffs. Basically Angra but better worked out) Foreigner: Katsushika Hokusai (I'm honestly not all that experienced with the 5-Star Foreigners, but Hokusai does have some interesting potential to ramp down an enemy's attack and wave clear with her Arts NP) Pretender: Oberon (I mean, what other choice do we have? He and Koyanskya of Light essentially revolutionized the Buster Servant and created their own niche in the looping Meta)

[@noctoris6619]

While I agree with most of your predictions, I'd say that Ruler would either be QSH for his tank and crit playstyle, or Himiko for her Buster support abilities; Alter Ego will be Douman, his skills are absolutely busted for the right servants, and Foreigner would be either Van Gogh as essentially quick Orion, or KoyaDark for support capabilities

Before I got herc bond 10 I used to have him in party at all time. Mines is level 100 max fou triple 10. I have used him against so many bosses

[@SapoNinja9]

it's cool that every unit welfare they give us is actually pretty good that's what makes FGO less frustrating than other gachas imo

[@michaelmcdoesntexist1459]

They are now... the first welfares were kinda bad (Saber Lily, Nobbu, Salter Santa, both Lizzies...)

[@SapoNinja9]

@@michaelmcdoesntexist1459 yeah, now that I think about it, I didn't really mean EVERY welfare, but most since I started playing (last year) have been amazing, at least up to the first part of the story

[@michaelmcdoesntexist1459]

@@SapoNinja9 Yeah, I started to play last year too and my first welfare was Kenshin. I was amazed that they give you a servant THAT good for free, even ascended and NP maxed. Then we got Jalter, Oei, Nightingale, Altera, Sieg and even Erice is really good if not an ideal farmer. The only one I didn't find spectacular was Shuten Caster but is still really good. This year we're getting other too good welfares: Saber Karna and Summer Yu

[@Saseraki]

With this format, I'm going to do a prediction of the top 5* servant of every class of the next video: Saber: Muramasa Archer: Gilgamesh Lancer: Mélusine Rider: Tai Gong Wang Caster: Castoria Assassin: Kama Berserker: Morgana Extra Class: (this is going to be a tough if he doesnt split this on each class): Shi huang di, Space Ishtar or Ashiva Douman

[@waduhek8947]

archer would be super orion tho.i would put sus i mean oberon cuz mothman fits in any team comps,can make people farm and deals damage too.And godjuna has more use than morgan from what ive experienced

[@ryanwest6035]

@@waduhek8947 lol how does Godjuna have more use than Morgan? I can do 95% of fgo using any ces with Support Vitch / Morgan / Habetrot / Vitch Superscope or K-scope with mana loading maxed you can 3 turn without plugsuit using either double vitch or double oberon (needs 10% charge from Mystic Code) She's in arguably one of the strongest CQ teams with Castoria and Merlin, while not as strong as Godjuna she can also do min turn SQs.... and when her niches came into play like Case Files rerun CQ she's godly. The only thing Godjuna has on Morgan is better damage, and after Oberon that doesn't mean as much, again I've cleared 95% of this game with just np1 morgan......

[@redmage808]

Luckily, when I fought Goetia for the first time I had a bond 10 Herc in my friends list. Now, my Herc is bond 10 and would like a chunk out of Goetia himself

[@petelee2477]

Meanwhile I played a 30 turn slug fest with a support mash(obviously I couldn't use my own).

[@unrankedchevron742]

Atalanta is one of the best AOE quick loopers in the game.

[@Pridam]

As someone who still uses Saber Lancelot as my go-to Saber servant, I DO wish he had some sort of survivability for himself honestly. But I still love his crit damage

[@nicholasfallbrook9810]

He'd be absolutely unstoppable with a 2-hit 3 turn evade on skill 2. Cut the cooldown by a turn too and suddenly every single skill has the same downtime

[@Pridam]

@@nicholasfallbrook9810 Yeah something like that. The biggest problem I've consistently had with Saber Lancelot has always been the survivability

[@DJVader2912]

"Ranmaru should be available for the GudaGuda rerun this year" Uhhh about that....

[@darwinjimenacasilla7002]

I like the list, but honestly I would add Ashwatthama. He's my favorite 4* single target Archer in FGO NA and my honorary 5*

13:50 untill 14:00 I love that you, it's herc with *no* hesitation! X! 13:50 untill 16:15 Now, i understand *why* you said. Because that's broken! (I never summoned him, nor did i use a friend's herc. So I never know just how broken he was.)

Whenever theres a single target Avenger enemy or Death rate spammer (which granted is not very often), I dish out my level 100 BB. And she absolutely FUCKS all of them.

[@dragonhunter1508]

Hercules was my free 4 star but I only have him bond 8 because I'm dumb and used summer Jean berserker instead because a bad friend dared me to not use him until I beat all main story sections

[@uninspiredname2974]

I feel like another saber honorable mention should absolutely be Yagyuu Tajima-no-Kami Munenori. Now, he may not have huge crits and flashy numbers, but as a burst unit? Oh boy. His NP hits hard, his skills give big arts and refund, and also attack debuff on the opponent. I find he can comfortably refund (and sometimes even get *more* NP than he started with!) on a NPAA chain provided he crits, but with his first skill and some help crit he will and he will crit hard.

[@thegamerfe8751]

After Fae Tristan joined NA Chaldea i realized that Klidge somehow forgot proper Trsitan exists, he literally is Fae Tristan but better damage.

[@elgatto3133]

1. I feel like this spot could also be taken by a certain bishounen from china, just due to the fact he's very similar to caster gil.

[@ShiraFuyu2022]

I remember when he first released, Emiya hardly has any workable kit. His Clairvoyance doesn't make enough stars, his Magecraft is only for his Face Cards, can't do a proper NP Chain and his mediocre to below standard Atk Buff

[@AlkronLoki]

Mash is just silly, and when playing through Agartha, the Ruler boss was kicking my butt when I tried to damage blitz it with my few Avengers/Berserkers. So I called Mash, Support Jeanne, and my own NP3 Medea Lily. The Healing was nuts, the damage was nothing, and it took me 128 turns, but it was never a risk. Mash broke Arts Stall so much, the Devs felt forced to nerf her by making her into the worst Buster Crit character in the game. Any event tied to the Lostbelts I dread needing Mash, as I know she will be in her very poor tin can suit. Also I was crazy and left my lovely Kouhai at 10/10/9 as this syncs up her 2nd and 3rd skill cooldowns.

[@thegamerfe8751]

Honourable mention for berserker would be summer Nobu just cause of how balanced she is with team support and doing damage. Though Heracles is definitely better at damage and survivability.

[@Batmans_Pet_Goldfish]

Nobu is busted and does stupid damage. All you need is a support Merlin and you melt enemies. If you add in Caesar you get the crit stars, NP up and even more critical damage. My personal favorite lineup is Waver Osakabehime and Merlin with Nobu. Great way to cut down trees if you know what I'm saying. She's fine on her own, but near broken against bosses with support.

[@Emiya491]

If only i played fgo a year early, i could've got Shiki for the feet

[@wendra3676]

Even tho its a bit of a spoiler i feel like you should have mentioned Ortinax One of the reasons being that what it lacks in defensive support It more then makes up with the ability to delay 2 turns with 2 self taunts And even be able to deal damage to some extent Especially after LB5 And the other reason being that its litearlly forced throughout the 2nd arc

[@hmmmooops]

I wish Baoban could hear all this honest praise

I cannot argue with your choices. Damn it. Why must you be right.

[@michaelmcdoesntexist1459]

Love to see best friend Kenshin on the list, even if she is rather low on the list. Seeing King Gil is also good because I loved him so much on Babylonia. Meanwhile Herc spooked me half a year ago and he is sitting as a NP2 lvl 1 on the corner. Not a fan of his gamestyle.

I'm going with Sieg on this one. Looper is his game and in a good team he can spam that Fafnir all day long. Target not a dragon, you say? *pokes Georgios with lb4 Kaleidoscope*. Keep Siegfried and Beowulf close to you too.

Ash is very strong. He’s just somewhat tricky to use but once he gets going he’s amazing. But he’s a solid a tier archer imo
