FGO Servant Spotlight: Altera Analysis, Guide and Tips

[@fromeggman]

This video is a good civilization.

[@ridwana4037]

I understood that reference - Steve Rogers, 2012

[@rokketman159]

fromeggman This is one of those references where I feel like I should/do understand but I can't put my finger on it ;-; Pls someone explain to me. I is big noob

[@someoneelse4939]

+GamerX 7712 I don't know exactly from where this meme originated (maybe Fate/Extella?), but it probably refers to the fact that Altera, being a destroyer of civilizations, tends to categorize everything in "good civilization" (something worthy to exist) and "bad civilization" (something that has to be destroyed). So the meme is about the fact that even the most trivial of things (like for example her being triggered by another girl with bigger breasts) is at risk of being considered "bad civilization" :D

[@ridwana4037]

Try googling "Learning with Manga! FGO~" for the fun Version. "Gacha is a bad civilization!"

[@someoneelse4939]

+Ridwan A Now that I've read it, I must say that Gudako is one of my favourite nasuverse characters ever XD

[@hairyb2243]

I can get behind half of the servants that should be male being waifus because, well it‘s Anime. But Attila not being a goddamn rider makes me furious

[@BrunofanofK]

Nasu wanted to put his Nodes highschool fanfic

[@carlogustavovalenzuelazepe5774]

It was solved already

[@kcazzzzz]

Attila can be summoned in many classes. the 3 best classes attila can be summoned into is will be rider, saber and archer , because attila goes to battle with these 3 items all the time. in fact, his army is famous for creating a bow which gave them much better shots when riding and allowed them to conquer other countries, so rider and archer will probably be the best class

[@emred4653]

I cant believe my ancestor is this hot...

[@shirokane-naao]

It's quite a typical women-fied character in Japanese anime, and it does not refer to the specific individual to be a woman

[@Mitsuru-Miki]

I just received her today!!! My first 5 star servant after 10+ days of playing the game Lol. This video was super helpful!! Keep up the great work :)

[@irontrids]

Altera being a hun king/god of war/alien hybrid is the most Type Moon thing ever And I find it interesting

[@shiroishida2594]

This is really helpful because I really love Altera. She's the only 5 star Saber I have (I'm a beginner so ye)

[@rokketman159]

Shiro Ishida Well I mean I don't think people have a lot of 5 stars even if they've played the game for a while, that is, not without $$$$$$$$

[@SGRODmaster]

GamerX 7712 I'm free-to-play and I have 3 5-stars including her and Gilgamesh. B-)

[@shiroishida2594]

I pulled her when I was rolling during Gilgamesh event. I hope I can save enough crystals for the next event. I used all tickets and my crystals in that event, so I couldn't even roll a single one during Nero's event :(

[@MegaUMU]

Shiro Ishida got her pretty early. I was such a fool to lv saber lily first until i noticed what a gem altera is

[@SGRODmaster]

Megalobst/Dark Bullet: XIV Same. I realized pretty quickly once I got her that she really hit hard, but I didn't realize she had the highest attack in the game right now. She's drawn by one of my favorite artists too. Too bad they have to call her Altera instead of Attila, it's an inaccurate translation and makes things confusing with all the Alters running around.

[@FlankerX]

She's pretty damn amazing, I maxed her out at lvl100 with skills 10/10/10 and she hits 200k dmg on a brave chain with full crits!

[@GAReviews]

She's a beast

[@ThatGuy-en2nn]

She must have been nerfed because she's straight garbage in my fights.

[@isaaclin3856]

That Guy wrong support? Or no fou attack boosts

[@Frankenmuppet]

A year and a half later, your spotlights are still my go to when I get a new servant

[@darik1107]

I think you should also cover servants NP gain, star absorption, star generation and number of hits on card's. As those are also essential part of evaluation of servants effectiveness.

[@GAReviews]

I might add that to future spotlights,s thanks for the suggestion

[@will3718]

Your FGO Servant Spotlights are my weekly favorite videos =) truly insightful and I like your critique style: most would just focus on the currently available Servants but you went a step further to compare with future Servants, which is very, very useful! Looking forward to hearing more and keep up the fantastic work! Spotlight request: Fat Caesar =D Edit: My bad, Faber has been done already.

[@rokketman159]

Well said

[@dagon7259]

Faber was already mentioned in the F2P Servants Guide he made.

[@JohnPeacekeeper]

William Suhenda I hope Caesar gets a Caster form like Nero and it's his younger self (the really GAR one on the Wiki)

[@GAReviews]

Thanks! Glad my guides can help!

[@Justynmebank]

you are teasing me with the Bride and swimsuit Nero. Also Nobunaga looks cool wish these events would come faster

[@fernandopolack9392]

I was Blessed By having her and Also Limited Zero over and Heaven's feel, she hits really hard. I use Limited zero over when I need her for hard content and Heaven's feel for farming. awesome analysis

[@ChaoticHarmony431]

I've watched a few other reviews for servants, yours are always the best and I look forward to them every week. Keep up the good work :D

[@GAReviews]

Thanks! I appreciate the support!

[@deathraptor2013]

Nice analysis on altera, she work really well with gil

[@rokketman159]

I tried to get her or Nero from a 10-shot and failed. Then I did a one-shot and Altera popped up! Lucky me!

[@KRP71390]

So, _so_ lucky. I pretty much spent $1K before I nabbed her. Funny enough, I also pulled two other 5-star's first, in spite of the increased drop, as well as 5 Nero's

[@GAReviews]

You are making me feel better about my spending habits on this game lol

[@KRP71390]

And then Artemis seems to like me more :)

[@Legend27Stuff]

Nice timing. Your servant spotlight videos are very helpful btw

[@GAReviews]

Thanks

[@rivaii3415]

Good vid buddy, at least you talk about pros and cons than just the stats unlike spotlights from other youtubers

[@GAReviews]

Thanks! I try to make my guides as practical as possible, especially for newer players.

[@rivaii3415]

G&A Reviews keep at it boy 👍🏻

[@KazgarokKing]

this got put up right after I pulled my first Altera as my first 5 star, nice

[@AngeUshiromiya725]

re-evaluate altera pls :(

[@Shaulter]

Very nice video! Altera's my favorite so it's always lovely to see content for her. I do feel it's a bit strange to not recommend Kaleidoscope for her, as starting off with a noble phantasm is pretty efficient and effective. I also really like pairing her with Lancelot; my current farming setup goes pretty fast when running hands: Altera - K-Scope Lancelot - Imaginary Element Waiver (Support) Pop Waiver's skills on the first round, Lancelot's crit star drop rate ability plus the second mystic code crit star drop rate if you have it. That should completely shred the first wave, and give you 30+ crit stars. For the second wave, Altera's Crest of the Stars can help try and push you to 50; if you're short Lancelot's gather rate ability makes sure that Altera and Lance should be close to 100% crit. From there, hopefully the second wave goes down in one round, then Altera should mop up the final wave.

[@GAReviews]

That is a powerful setup

[@penbrush793]

Sounds like a pretty good Servant to have on a team. I'll keep it in mind. Thank-you for the review.

[@labadal5844]

Let's get Siegfried going guys! Sumanai-san needs some love as well xD. Loved the video G&A, hopefully I get a 5 star other than Jeanne eventually :D

[@GAReviews]

Thanks, and I'm glad someone loves Sumanai lol

[@erueru6101]

Altera literally spooked me 4 times now already. Just another copy and she'll be np5. I repeat, she only freakin SPOOKED me LMFAO 😂

[@Shizu_Kare]

Glad I rolled her early on, she's been a great asset in the early times of the English release.

[@09-caokhanhduy89]

Just got her with summoning ticket which means she is my 3rd 5 star servant and my 3rd 5 star servant I got by summoning ticket and again your reviews are good as always

[@KRNNT-]

She spook me just now, so, here I am.

[@EizenMalak]

Just found your channel, your servants spotlight are great. I hope to see eventually waver or salter spotlight.

[@GAReviews]

Thanks!

[@BalDraakNL]

I started playing FGO simply because I wanted to unlock Altera in every game she's available in. 211 days later the mission has succeeded. Now it's time to see if her greatness as a fighter holds up to her greatness as a waifu.

[@ultimaT]

i love your videos, they are quite helpful.

[@GAReviews]

Thanks! Glad they help

[@ResearcherReasearchingResearch]

I can't wait for the Stheno and Mozart strengthening quest, they going to be my Altera's best friends when trying to kill some solo bosses.

[@lookNOhands88]

love your videos man, really looking forward for more hero spotlights i'm curios to see what you think about atalanta, marie or martha as i got them recently peace

[@dagon7259]

Salter is hot. Her final ascension art is lit. Oh and she's a better offensive saber than well, saber.

[@solivoid]

Nice!! I just got her from a one ticket! Man my heart was pounding lol

[@JohnPeacekeeper]

Altera is so waifu I have mixed feelings of not getting her during Nero Fest but pulling 2 Neros... is that good luck? Either way, won't be spending much SQ until America Chapter for Nightingale. I will, however, do the guaranteed 5* this New Year

[@kyy4878]

Can you use SQ? Or do you have to pay for the guarantee?

[@dionysues7449]

kyro they have to be paid quartz but it isnt a bad deal

[@kyy4878]

isnt that like 30$ for a ssr

[@JohnPeacekeeper]

Worth it. Especially if I get either Tamamo (even if Medea will remain my main Caster) or Altera. Though the one Servant I hope for most besides Altera is Nightingale (tiers be damned)

[@pforgottonsoul]

yeah i really wanted to pull her during nerofest instead i got nero and artoria.

[@midend]

you can play her as a support by slapping golden carp ce on her and use her as a showstarter via plugsuit switch in. use tactics and crest to assist in the main nuker in his/her role.

[@girostade5477]

I wonder how this review holds up in 2021

[@connorsapp5235]

I have had a lv 1 Altera for a while because I've been trying to get materials to ascend my Saber (Alter) ( Which is a pain in the butt right now) ... but after watching this... Step aside alter. a new saber is in town...

[@GAReviews]

Alter is one of the hardest servants to ascend in the game, so yea definitely go with Altera until we get an event that throws reverse scales and claws at us lol

[@lilaschwarz1835]

5 years later, still looking up some things in your vids about "old" servants :D Would be great if you find time to update the altera review :)

[@Korraganitar]

One thing I think bears mentioning... That tactics buff makes Altera a key piece in an NP burst team... Put her either a pair of other buster np servants, like herc or cu alter, and do a buster np chain starting with her... The damage is beautiful

[@zhen5537]

btw i watched ur lancelot and this video, u mention ruler steal stars, but atalanta and gil are archer which is known to have natural star absorption, and both of this servant are higher than rulers.

[@GAReviews]

True, but Gil and Atalanta also both produce a ton of crit stars usually more than enough. Jeanne just sits there and absorbs them without providing many in return. If you have for example Gil, Lancelot, and Jeanne it just becomes that much harder for Lancelot to get the stars as opposed to having a caster like Hans in jeanne's place who has far lower star absorption and can still provide the same level (if not better) support that Jeanne can

[@gogozeppeli9267]

Just got her in the GSSR new year 2020 .....i wont complain i needed an AOE saber...i had only lancelot and caesar as sabers lol

[@SimpleSpectator]

I decided to single roll during her rate up and thought I got her bc of the gold light up but got stheno... Then I rolled a 30 once and got her. I FINALLY HAVE A GOOD SABER ;_____;

[@GAReviews]

Congrats!

[@MalcadorTheSigilite]

Altera larva is kawaii as heck

[@himenaaa3565]

loves for solitude servants, Altera!!! 1st SSR im have and got the lv 2 NP when rolling for another xD loving comboing altera as defense buster, usually im using waver NP - Altera NP - anyNP that single target on the boss stage (Jalter for this) or another multi hit np with good choice like Drake for double boost np and clearing the mobs on the last round where is no boss

[@stephenbocknick4204]

Just got her on my Merlin rolls. Insanely happy rn, since I wanted her for a while, but keep missing her on her rate ups.

[@twofu967]

Love your videos

[@GAReviews]

Proxy Thanks!

[@crimsonice89]

Looking forward to your Orion video. Can you do Marie Antoinette sometime soon.

[@arceusmefralia]

Ah, my first SSR Saber (and my first SSR servant overall) who had came to my Chaldea 2 days after I made my account... Still the best Servant I had right now and I don't regret giving her all those QPs and Materials to reach her current 92 5/5/6 state. She's very great, but my only problem is her weird design 😣 I mean, those *SHIP* shoes.

[@tart6178]

I find those shoes quite endearing

[@bintangsena2249]

Sasaki kojibro the regendary dragonslayer pls

[@narutoxyzz]

can you do Waver next?

[@Shou_22]

I kinda ignored her at first because i liked Nero and Arthuria better... But upon using her, raising her was a great idea... Now she's my most powerful servant and team her with Merlin and Waiver... Oh man the destruction she does, specially if you equip her with the victor of the moon CE... And also i like how Gil supports her too, since she and Gil are the same in fate extella while Altera leads the team, Gil is her number 2(which is weird this is Gil after all, i'm surprised that he agreed to it either)

[@GAReviews]

She is pretty underrated but she is pretty amazing and yea her and Gil together is just overkill

[@Shou_22]

G&A Reviews Her whole team is overkill... Altera, Gil and Iskandar are the major hitters, while Jeanne provides the defensive support...

I got her after 7 multis 😅 but still i love you altera thank you for coming home

[@stonkermcstonkerface4531]

I got her accidentally while im rolling for more Ushiwakamaru in Grail Live event in JP! Best day ever!!!!

[@JohnPeacekeeper]

So, I did the math and should still be able to achieve 300 SQ by America Chapter, so I'm rewatching this vid hoping it serves as a Catalyst for when I try 10x summoning with 60SQ during the Kintoki Summoning Campaign (as much as I want Nightingale as my main Berserker, I want Altera as my prime Saber) Wish me luck :D

[@GAReviews]

Good luck, and you should have way more than 300 by America. If you take into account the events, the quartz from maintenance, the free quests, etc...

[@JohnPeacekeeper]

Thanks, really appreciate that And really? I accounted for all those and the numbers I came up with (with worst case scenario that America come by in early March) about 300-350. That's really encouraging :D After America I'll probs save up for the Summer event just for Ruler Martha (since Martha is my first 4* and she's been pretty great), then save up for Ishtarin because UBW was the tits. Though I bet you're already saving up right now for Nero Bride? She seems like an upgrade in every way from Red Nero :3

[@LieshaCichol]

Don't forget to do pre-summoning dance and do your summon exactly at 2:00 AM (known cult of summon from senpais in Japan)

[@marupurusaivamsi4802]

Just got her today .

[@dukkyboi]

I love Altera, but getting the monuments makes me want to cry

[@GAReviews]

Same lol

[@gudakoalter]

Instead of Reines I got Altera. not that mad.

[@khrysostamos9385]

Got her while rerolling for a 5* when I first started playing, compared her to Artoria, I was utterly disappointed in how badly she aged and how DW treated her like crap. DW only has one more chance to do Altera justice since her 2 skill upgrades and NP buff are a$$ compared to Artoria's buffs.

[@mazin9193]

Excellent videos. I'm for the most part a FGO noob so I have to ask, why don't the developer at least minimally readjust servants to balance things out through updates?

[@GAReviews]

They do. They have strengthening quests for the servants that come out every so often and upgrade their skills or NP. Although this is usually more so for 4* and lower servants to make them more useful, not many 5*s get the upgrades.

[@zuhairkalayakan6989]

Just got her

[@arescosan]

Did a random single pull and got spooked by her, wanted Salter because edge but she’s the next best thing :)

[@GAReviews]

Congrats!

[@데이빗-x5j]

Can u do waver spotlight please

[@GAReviews]

He is coming up soon, right after Atalanta and Alter

[@yomama8212]

Got her with a single ticket, lucky ~

[@tienkieu4806]

I just got her recently... She is my first and only SSR so should I grail her? Or are there better options that I should consider in the late game?

[@GAReviews]

When it comes to grailing I would say just grail your favorite servants. The stats usually don't make much of a difference except for rare cases like Herc or Saber Alter.

[@CeraCosplay]

Would you do zhuge (waver) for the next character spotlight ? 😃

[@leonridao1618]

I wandering if there was an update on this gal considering what was given to her from military tactics to scourge or whip of god and if it gives her an edge or bumps her up a bit

[@brazguard3akabg357]

She's got a rainbow sword. That's already a plus.

[@supremok]

I rolled her in the 5 star banner... im happy to have her but i already had okita so not sure if i should max both... one for quick another for buster team... hummm i wanted to do an arts team so wished for waver or tamamo... guess i should stick with a quick team then... okita plus lancelot and who else would be a good support?... thanks for your reviews btw they are really useful!

[@supremok]

PD. I did a pull for thanksgiving also and managed to get two 2030 fragments so its crit star shower now xD

[@GAReviews]

Hans would go great with Okita and Lancelot. And you can put the 2030 you got on him lol

[@panxozombieslayer]

so her perfect team is gil/altera/waver? because is that how im running her

[@GAReviews]

Yea that sounds pretty strong, about as strong as you can get in the current game. With those three you won't run into any problems for a long time.

[@pierealexander9627]

Double Merlin as always :)

[@Farlyx]

Got spook her with 2 tickets summon instead of Ivan. Should i be happy and lvl up her ? I already have Nero bride and Musashi Miyamoto

[@ZetsubouGintama]

I remember from Horrible History book that once Attila want a maiden Saint Ursula to be his wife but she refuse so Attila kill her, burn her church and torture her follower nuns to death. I wonder what really happen in Fate version? Maybe... Altera: RELIGIOUS FANATISM ARE BAD FOR CIVILIZATION!

[@thomasmartin8380]

Can you do Tamamo no Mae next? I really really want her!

[@MegaUMU]

Thomas Martin shes not released yet but i hope she Will during halloween. (been saving up for that moment)

[@thomasmartin8380]

Yeah, i know... i just wanted to bring her up so he knows that there are people that like her xd

[@GAReviews]

I can't wait to do a video on Tamamo, she already has a bunch of cameos and mentions in my other spotlights lol

[@VGZXR]

hey! now that victor of the moon CE is out would you say its a better choice than limited zero over?

[@vincentbalmori6259]

After two years I finally got her, the servant/waifs that got me playing FGO in the first place! Question after her recent strengthening quest (which turns her 1st skill into an op defensive removal buff and makes the NP Strength 3 turns) what grade would you give Altera now?

[@GAReviews]

The strengthening quest gives her a nice niche as a semi-offense support. I think the main problem with her now is she doesn't really have a spot she shines in, her damage is weaker than most of the other 5* sabers and she doesn't have the same high utility as someone like Nero Bride. I'd probably give her a solid B, useful as additional support for other Sabers / offensive servants

[@pew2440]

Rolled for ishtar got her instead😅

[@thinhman2010]

Hey, I just got a lucky 10 shot and got her. Now I have Gilgemesh and Altera. Is there a good team comp that complements both of them?

[@GAReviews]

Congrats. And Gil + Altera + any support is good. I suggest Waver if you have him, or else go with Hans or Caesar or David

[@trieuwolverine9052]

I can use altera as my boss killer right ? , i just got her in king hassan banner , i usually use rama and nero red as my boss killer but i want to use altera properly

[@GAReviews]

Yep she hits pretty hard

[@darkforestf]

May I know between Altera and Artoria saber which one is better?

[@GAReviews]

Right now in NA, Altera is a little better because of her damage. But once Artoria gets her instinct buff she becomes much better

[@kcazzzzz]

Altera is much better. she has much higher attack (by over 1200) and can increase it even further by 30% for 3 turns with 1 of her skill, with only a 2 turn cooldown, so essentially. she can also heal which artoria can't, as well as create crit stars and gather them, allowing her to deal massive crit damage on a single target, or boost her NP gain if you crit with her arts attack

[@chrischarriez7316]

how come the attack level 100 is 2,000 less than the max attack plus fou? I thought fou only added a max of 1,000? Also, do you think np 1 Altera is better than an np 4 saber alter?

[@GAReviews]

Later on the fou limit gets upgraded to 2000, but it is very difficult to get a servant to +2000 ATK because you have to use a different type of fou that only gives you +20 ATK/HP and they are very limited, to like 5-6 per event. And I would say an NP4 Alter is better if you grail her to 90, she should outdamage Altera.

[@KaneVision]

I like pairing her with Atalante. =D

Someone Else THAT LENNY FACE IM DYING XD

[@mangafan1015]

I wonder im a bit new to fgo just started in 2020 so would you say altera is best wave clearer/aoe saber? Or is there another saber who can wave clear better?

[@GAReviews]

Currently the best wave clearer / AoE saber is Artoria both in JP and NA followed by Mordred and then probably Shiki. Unfortunately Altera has been powercrept a lot, she is still decent but she needs a buff to give her a new niche

After Ascending her 3 times I just found this video.....so basically she hits like a truck but her NP is like a wet noodle? Seems pretty balanced to me.... Question: Does this mean that prioritizing to increase her ATK via FOU cards is the best approach?

[@GAReviews]

Yes, I would focus on her atk over her HP with fous, and really that is the case for every servant, even tanks most of the time. 1,000 Atk is worth way more than 1,000 HP

If you need a saber she can definitely come in handy, but generally speaking the other AoE sabers like Mordred and Artoria are better if you can afford to wait for their rateups, and we are getting a top tier single target saber for new years
