Fgo tips forgot one important detail when you Bond level 10 is heroic spirit and you get its craft Essence that craft Essence does not take up inventory by the way I Bond level 10 two heroic spirits okita souji and Francis Drake.

[@FGOTips]

I never even noticed this! It makes sense though. You cannot burn these CEs in the Da Vinci shop, which is good because if you accidentally did there would be no way to ever get a new one. Filling your inventory with stuff you cannot get rid of would be terrible from a gameplay perspective though, so making them exempt from the normal inventory limitations is an elegant solution. Thanks for pointing that one out.

[@mndy129]

Yes this was a QoL update some months back

[@berserkslayer8638]

Yeah, after a certain point they updated so you can't burn them and they don't use space either. They also gave the people bond CEs back if they happened to burn them.

[@Ladifour]

@@FGOTips I used Ozy as a replacement for Merlin for a while, but I hated seeing his somewhat stiff animations and just wanted my impish mage back, so I used one of the bond grails we got on him.

[@TheGamefreak346]

Honestly, I don't really care about "wasting" bond points. If I already have a servant at bond 10, they fall into 1 of 2 categories: A) They're one of my personal favorites from a character perspective, and thus one of my go-to's for a given class (likely Grailed, potentially 2k Fou'd) B) They're one of my most efficient farming options, either as support (Waver, Skadi, etc.) or wave clear (Valks, Sieg, Arash, Drake, etc.), and thus get used for intensive farming events (Gilfest alone took Sieg, Paracelsus, and Skadi from bond 5~6 to bond 10) In either case, I'm not just gonna stop using them when they reach bond 10. Sure, I could and potentially get a handful more quartz and eventually another bond CE; however, event as a c2p the SQ from bond is sort of negligible compared to the free SQ we get from events and even just weekly stuff, plus the bond CEs are 99% of the time never gonna get used (seriously, even the ones with good effects like Arjuna's don't get used bc their stats are so bad compared to even a split-stat super CE; Herc, George, and the big support Casters are basically the only exceptions where I semi-frequently run their bond CEs). I just don't see the potential benefits of 1 or 2 extra bond 10 servants overshadowing the satisfaction of using my current favorites enough to warrant feeling "guilty" about continuing putting my bond 10s in my parties. As for what servants I have at bond 10, I've got 22 so far: Angra, Arash, George, Hans, F/SN Cu, Paracelsus, EMIYA, Sieg, Summer Mordred, Nito, Valks, Brynhild, Sigurd, King Hassan, Arjuna, Kintoki, Drake, Altera, Waver, Tamamo, Merlin, Skadi

[@Maho911]

Nice sneaking in the smaller details on the transition loading screens. I also feel a bit off on fielding max bond servants, but I don't hesitate to bust them out in times of need like Challenge Quests. I imagine it as just going "Bring out the A Team." Soon all my Rare Prisms will disappear into the void that is bond uncaps. Melt is almost Bond 12 thanks to Quetzmas farming, and I recently uncapped Raikou so I can actually blitz farm with her, though I keep forgetting she's uncapped so I need to fix old mindsets.

[@FGOTips]

I had a hard time deciding where to talk about Mash and Angra so it seemed like a fun compromise. The funny thing is I got all the way through recording and halfway through editing before I realized I had never mentioned the 30 Saint Quartz from reaching Bond Levels 11-15, so that one ended up being a sneaky way to avoid redoing a lot of stuff :)

[@gast321]

actively farming for bond points seems like a waste of apples, unless your servants are super close to levelling up their bond level or if you are also farming for materials. just be patient and your servants' bond levels will fill up basically on own, as long as they're regularly used.

[@dsenvy]

its 2 years late(?) but i'll put it here 1. main quest is the fastest way to bond in my experience 2. always check your going to bond servant passive. sometime they have a passive that increase bond gained by 100% in certain main quest map/area 3. if you only have 4 or less servant to bond, bring mash because she increase the bond gained by 20% to the party 4. the best free quest to bond (for me) is Blood Fort in Babylonia. it have highest bond rate and only 2 wave that you can clear under 3 minute

[@pingucrimson750]

Ah this is great help, unfortunately I don’t have anywhere near enough mana prisms for the CEs but using your other guide on getting mana prisms I’m sure I’ll get a 10 bond eventually

[@ph3rtehHDawg]

I have four bond 10 servants so far: Archer Emiya (my first 4*), Jalter, Merlin, and Summer Martha. I'm currently working on Okada. I actually really like reading the CEs that come with the bond 10, so I try not to look up what they are so I can enjoy the new info you get about the servants once you have maximized you're bond with them.

[@shirou4188]

f2p here I got Sigurd, Brinhild and Enkidu on 420 hours of play and no 10 bond yet, I still enjoy it playing everyday.

[@drakke1489]

I got 1st Waver since he was my first SSR (and got it on story gacha) during my normal playtrough during shinjuku, then got Jalter while on agartha as she was my 2nd SSR. Also got Nobu Berserker for being one of my first SR. Farmed for Heracles, then Arash and Georgios, and currently Angra Maju and Skadi are both at 9.

[@kirant]

Since starting in early 2020...(in order) my Bond Level 10s are: Current Bond 10s: - Lu Bu. First Berserker and hard carried me all the way until Camelot. He was at Bond Level 9 and I just figured what the heck, let's finish it off. - Shiki. Started around the rerun and she is still my favourite. I'm perfectly happy dumping resources to maximize everything (including a year's worth of golden Fous) despite their inefficiency (see: infinite discussion online about how Assassins are a "waste" for Grails and Fous because of her attack modifier). She'll be my first Bond Level 15 project. - Zhuge Liang. Everybody who has one has "accidentally" overworked him to 10, right? - Arash. Became an important part of Lottery farming and daily 3 turn farming Future Bond 10s (hopefully in 2021): - David and Helena. Both were acquired early and, like Lu Bu, were used to carry my team - Spartacus and Bunyan. See Arash. Every daily farm currently consists of Stella, Marvelous Exploits, and Crying Warmonger - Saber Shiki: See Shiki. Replace attack modifier with "gimmicky skill set" - Georgios. The walking meat shield will probably get better with his Bond CE Maybe someday: - Heracles. I get that he's a terrific servant for last man standing CQ gimmicks. I just don't think I'll use mine if there's a perfectly viable grailed 10/10/10 one on support though. Available NP or not, they do their job just fine.

But beyond my Arts Teams, some of my servants at Bond 10 are Arash, Leonidas, Spartacus, Paul Bunyan, David, Hercules then few servants at Bond 10 are Lancer Artoria, Mordred, Ishtar, Cleopatra, Francis Drake, Cha-Cha, Raikou and Zerk Lancelot (recently).

[@ebrules]

Ive got two level 10 bond servants at the moment, (Nursery Rhyme and Altera) and mostly because I really care about bond points so I've been not doing singularities for ages so I can wait until I have my favorite servants before I start going through them and getting the amazing bond point amounts you get from story quests. I'm missing so many events but gosh darn it it's worth it!

[@Karthaen]

Started playing around Sep. 2019 near the end of the last Nerofest rerun. Got 5 to BL 10: Arash, Astolfo, Helena, Kiyo, and Angra. I was blessed with two Kaleidoscopes early on and the first three made farming a cakewalk for me. The last two I did for memes and the Interlude.

[@hikarunarukami]

Saber Alter, Skadi, Okita, Fuuma, Cu, Medusa, Euryale, Chiyome, Tomoe... 9 currently, working on just getting Saber Alter, Skadi, Chiyome and Tomoe (thanks Beni event) to Bond 11 for those 30 SQ (savings for 2021) and later Okita as well. Also, I think getting Void Shiki, Sitonai, Shuten Douji (among the SSRs) and Jeanne Berserker, Valkyrie (among the SRs) to Bond 10 is probably gonna take the longest time. Just random information. Felt curious who would take the longest after seeing Void Shiki's bond requirment from 6->7. Also, I still used the servants after getting them to Bond 10 (I think I got Saber Alter and Fuuma to Bond 10 during the Semiramis Valentine's event(think it was last year?) but still use them regularly (even before giving a Lantern to Saber Alter) because why not? Skadi is definitely being used even if I didn't give her a Lantern. Huh, now that I notice, all my Bond 10s happened during 2020 only. Probably due to staying at home and not having too much work with college.

[@tomcarpentier6949]

Nice vid, something i'd like to add is that you might want to prioritize st 4*/5* that you dont like and farm their bond first, as you're less likely to use them in actual quest.

[@FGOTips]

That's a pretty good idea. I feel bad farming Bonds for the Servants I don't like before finishing the ones I do like, but it makes more sense in the long run.

Bond 10 with 9 Servants, Shiki (Assassin), Shiki (Saber), Shuten (Assassin), Nightingale, Anra Mainiiu, Medusa, Lancelot (Berserker), Waiver, and Arash. Both Shikis got their BP from general use, Shuten-Anra from BP focus and the rest from being in farm teams.

[@redmage808]

I got Bond 10 for both Proto Cu and Saber Alter, which makes sense since they've been main stays in my team since the 1st Singularity

[@machinronii]

Also got around 7 bond 10 servants and the truth is that I do not care much that bond is wasted when farming the quests since otherwise it would take me twice as long to do them by not using my 3 turn team, but thankfully the Latern of Chaldea can solve that problem

[@FGOTips]

It's really nice to be able to keep using the Servants you have maxed without the Bond Points going to waste anymore.

I only have 1 servant at Bond Level 10 and that's Jeanne. The next servant following behind her is Fluffy Boi who's about 150-160K away from Bond 10. Then I have several who are at bond 8, and even more at lower levels.

[@NRawk]

20 total bond 10 Servants but I feel the need to make special mention for my Samba Quetz since I got her to bond 10 the fastest. Without teh bond boosting CEs I got her to 10 4 days before her event ended thanks to all the lotto grinding. Medusa (Rider) and Gorgon are on their way to Bond 11 with Ana waiting for another Mana Prism Lantern Drake, Jack, Raikou, Fran, J'alter and Passionlip were raised to 10 for dedication Heracles is both my irl favorite mythological hero and I wanted his bond CE Arash, Waver, Skadi, Berzerkerlot, Paul and Kiyohime are 10 thanks to farming Hans, Mozart and Mata Hari were just there to fill the fifth slots

[@amordramon22]

3 on my end, with another 2 close to reaching 10. Ec-chan (or MHXA) was my first maxed bind servant. Mostly because I used the hell out of her during 2019 as she was my strongest servant at the time. Tamamo and Medusa Lily were the next ti be max bondeds, again during the majority of 2019 and early 2020, Tamamk was my only Gold Caster and Medusa Lily cause she was my best single target Lancer. As for the other 2 that are close to bond 10, are Nobu Archer and Shuten Assassin.

Herc was one of my first just for his Bond CE! I'm trying to work on more of the Servants I love now. Good luck with Jack :)

[@Clowdono]

I actually stop using my Servants at level 9 because the bond CE is usually useless (except for Herc and George) and that way I can still use them when I really need to without losing bond points. So only 5 of my Servants are lvl 10 but 18 are lvl 9. But thanks to the lantern, I'll now be able to reach lvl 10 for my favorites without having to bench them.

[@FGOTips]

I have a lot at 9 for the same reason. They are going to hit 10 eventually though! The Lantern is helpful for these situations.

So far, I have only max bonded Mordred, Nightingale, Fionn, Lancer Cu, and Lancer Elisabeth. Almost max bonded with Arthur, Bedivere, and Arjuna. I put the servants who I max bonded with in the 2nd inventory so that I can use other servants. It makes it more interesting for me to play with various servants than to keep playing with the ones I've played with for a long time

In the future (5th anniversary iirc) they change how the mana prisms work, instead of having to do all the chaldea gate quests you get 3 daily missions that give 3 mana prisms each, and all you need is to just play a quest.

I really enjoyed her summer event, so I'm quite fond of her myself. You can tell from the video and thumbnail that I got her Avenger self to Bond 10 also :)

[@TAMAMO-VIRUS]

My bond 10 Servants currently are Martha (Ruler), Tamamo (Lancer), and Archer EMIYA, Servants that are close to being bond 10 are Tamamo-no-Mae, and Suzuka Gozen

[@omarvalente8376]

The only servants that have reached bond 10 with me are those that I really enjoy using on the frontline. Otherwise they are left on the back until I reach bond 9 and to the second archive they go. My current bond 10 servants are waver(of course), skadi, tamamo, this three with bond grails already. Paul bunyan, heracles, raikou,boudica, medusa, tamamo lancer, Arash, Angra manju, helena caster, nitocris, medea, kintoki (my first ssr, and first bond CE).

[@FGOTips]

Nice, congrats! I don't think I've seen anyone else with Medusa yet, that's an interesting one. I love when different Servants get love. I'm a little jealous that you finished Angra already. I've been trying to unlock his Interlude for so long. One more level to go!

[@omarvalente8376]

Really? I would have thought that she was one of the more popular to take all the way to Bond 10, with her being an OG from Stay Night. Gonna have to put the effort and bring both lily and gorgon to 10 too.

[@vonlin6200]

The people I have bond 10 are Waver and Bunyan because I started the game last year because of her and I've been using her ever since

[@paulodiethelm5486]

same prob here. I always focus on certain servants to up the bond and once they reach 10, out they are. Thats why im so happy with the lanterns now, get back on using some of the servants that i bonded 10 ages ago. 12 on bond 10. altera, nero, ishtar, chloe, karna, drake, illya, jack, scathach beach, mhxa, kiara and georgios.

[@pipolwes000]

My Bond 10s (in order of acquisition): Arash Raikou Waver Paul Bunyan Spartacus Saberlot is my only Bond 9 for the moment

[@4NG3LxD3M0N]

I got the entirety of one max bond ce, raikou's. Although through alot of casual grinding stuff.

[@Talyrion]

Let's see, after a little more than one year of gameplay, I've reached bond 10 with five Servants so far (Cu, Caster Gil, Ishtar, Skadi and Jeanne Alter, with the later two getting a Chaldea's Flame to go even higher). Arash is getting really close (missing something like 40k points only), and the current event put Kiyohime (just reached bond 9) and Tomoe (bond 9, halfway there toward bond 10) within reaching distance. On JP, within roughly the same timeframe, I only brought Herk to bond 10, though (well, bond 11, actually). and since the guy recently showed up on my NA account... well, seems like he's in for quite a few rides. ALso planning on bringing both Shiki there, just because I want to.

[@namepen]

I believe I have 9. Herc, Penth, okita, Skadi, Helena, Georgios, Arash, Tomoe, King Hassan. I don't really specifically farm Bond points, I just put them on the backlines and event bonuses and when not doing events I always go for friends with teatime. I still use them for difficult quests and grinding since they are my better servants.

[@HarvestLYlee]

I started playing and watching the anime in Jan 2020, so On NA I have Bond 10 with Merlin,Weaver, Skadi, Edmund Dante, Bond grails are currently on Edmund and Skadi, Lancealot is projected to be the next bond 10, and he was the filler I used before edmund got his bond grail in the new year.

[@borderlineawesome8413]

In my one and a half year of playing I have leveled up 2 servants. The first was my first SSR Vlad and the second my trusty mini Merlin, Hans

[@Alas--]

2 years with FGO and I have bond 10 heracles, jalter, summer scathach, merlin, skadi and dantes Edit: and arash

[@Ramenb0ssRamenmofo]

great video!! I have around 17 max bond servants so far!

[@MACZ2021]

I'm currently sitting at 9 bond 10 servants. Jeanne, Rider Kintoki, Shiki, Herc, Helena, Nightingale, Merlin, Arash and Waver, with Jeanne being the first servant in getting to bond 15. I also have Cu, Bunyan, Rider Mordred and Tamamo at bond 9. What I've been doing since Argatha is I try to either get a servant bond level to increase during the final boss fight for main story chapters, I got Rider Kintoki and Nightingale to bond 10 for Argatha, got Helena to bond 10 in LB1, Shiki at bond 10 in LB2 (Fujino got to bond 7 with that fight as well), and Waver at bond 10 for LB3 (Nero Bride hit bond 8 with that fight also). Gonna see if I can get another servant close to bond 10 by the time LB4 comes around on NA

[@stewartpower7948]

I think Mash gives you extra bond points on a team too? Only in her crappy LB look though. I'm bond 11 Cu Alter atm, besides him I've got Fran, Astolfo, David, Robin, Brynhildr, Jalter, Raikou and Merlin bond 10. And I also agree, it sorta feels like you're retiring them once they hit bond 10 because it's kinda pointless to have them taking a spot someone else could be using to get bond points. That's why I'm kinda glad they put the chalices in; gives me more time with my Cu Alter, though he doesn't work as well with my Skadi as he did with Merlin :/

[@lkraut2266]

In NA only Emiya archer, Lancelot berserker (before skadi came) Cu lancer FSN, Arash, Merlin, Waver and Tamamo caster. JP Arash, Herakles, Skadi.

Bro during Gilfest I bond 10’d Waver, Raikou, and Arash xD on top of Helena (my budget Waver until I got him, best grandma) and Bunyan (best support zerker) Now I’m trying my best to get Georgios there when I can

[@FGOTips]

I'm a little sad I barely had any time during Gilfest. I finished the event and all, but I only cleared something like 14 boxes if I remember. My free time never seems to line up with these events correctly.

[@xenon_jv]

Let's see I've got 12 Bond 10 servants & working on Bond 11 for S!Shiki, Skadi & Parvati at the moment

[@jessican5344]

14 Bond 10 servants currently reside in my Chaldea - Hokusai, Abby, Arturia (Rider Alter) Gramps, Merlin, Jalter, Arturia (Santa Rider), Atalante, Heracles, Arturia (saber alter), Jeanne D' Arc, Waver, Arturia, (OG), Achilles

[@dragonfell5078]

New player that got into FGO because I heard I could get a free Mordred during the 17 million downloads event I get to keep her if I get bond level 5, so thanks for the info!

[@FGOTips]

Welcome to the game! Don't forget to ascend Mordred at least once in addition to reaching bond level 5!

[@GreenWasp]

I couldn't/wouldn't use Cu Alter ever since I bond 10'd him back in shinjuku. Now he is working on bond 11 with around 900k left, lvl 100, 10,10,10, NP2, and 2k hp and att. He showed Xiang Yu who the best berserker was by smacking him with 450k damage with his noble phantasm.

[@nanayanet]

I also have 7 servants at bond 10+ at the moment (na, 600 days). Either low rarity servants (david, spartacus, georgios, kiyohime) or farmers (arash, waver, nitocris). Skadi and Zerklot is getting there as well for obvious reason (and spartacus. I still have no kaleidoscope). I try leveling everyone to at least bond level 5 as that's usually the highest requirement to unlock strengthening/interlude quests (with anri being the sole exception). As for worry of maxing out and not using them anymore, yeah, I have same problem.

[@joshua8751]

Currently 6 atm. Skadi and Nursery are both super close while Saber Altera is 600k away from 11.

[@FGOTips]

Wow, my Skadi is only 6 so far. I guess I haven't been using the double Skadi enough.

It sounds like someone is getting a lot of use from the double Skadi team! I'm only at 6 with Skadi, 6 with Parvati, and 0 with Valkyrie :(

I have only gotten Jack to bond 10 but Cú and Mhxa alter are pretty close. They’re bond 9. Even if I ever max out Jack she has a permanent spot on my team.

[@FGOTips]

I see nothing wrong with this :)

[@Zhiroc]

Personally, I don't obsess about bond points. The only one I really tried to get is Herc's, because he gets arguably the best bond CE of the game. I also have bond 10 on Waver, Merlin, and Arash simply because I use them all the time (and before I got them, I used Hans so much he was really close, so I completed it on him too). And that's it. I try to get every servant to bond 5, just to cover any interlude/rank up quest requirements. After that, it's not a big deal to me. I really don't mind using a bond 10 servant if they are the best choice. Waver and Arash have been glued to my frontline for most of the time, though now Skadi, Arash, and Zerkalot are too. Once Skadi and Zerk get to bond 10, I still won't sweat it. I might use a Lantern (I used the free one I got on Arash). I also never get the MP shop CEs--too expensive at 5k MPs and non-MLB isn't worth it.

[@Azaril_]

I got 13 bond 10 servants so far. Artoria (Saber), Eresh, Mordred, Mordred (Rider), Emiya (Archer), Kuro, Illya, Jalter, Ecchan, Eli (Lancer), Cu Chulainn (Lancer), Georgios and Arash. Artoria and Eresh are bond grailed. I have one more bond grail which I plan to use on Skadi (she is very close to bond 10).

[@FGOTips]

Nice! I have noticed a lot of people commenting that Skadi is 10 or close already. I'm way back at 6, so I guess I'm not double Skadi farming enough.
