Shielder |
Mash Kyrielight |
Your starter heroic spirit. Her standout attribute is her solid support skills. Her first significantly boosts your allies’ defenses to sky high levels. Her second skill provides a targetable invincible buff to protect your ally from danger for a turn. Her 3rd skill can taunt enemies, making her a good punching bag thanks to her one-and-only Shielder class that renders attacks from other classes neutral. Her NP – Lord Camelot provides exceptional defense buffs along with an attack buff to make your team capable of enduring any punishing hits. However, one caveat, she only reaches her full potential after clearing Camelot (Singularity 6). One major disadvantage, however, would be her inaccessibility in later parts of the game (Lostbelt Arc 2) as Ortinax form takes her place for lore reasons. |
Caster |
Hans Christian Endersen |
A must–have, Hans is a versatile support unit that offers significant value for its rarity. He is nicknamed a mini Merlin thanks to his wonderful skill kit (post buff) and NP. His NP – Marchen Meines Lebens provides attack, defense, and healing per turn and Critical Star drop rate to every ally. Despite the downside that his buffs have a chance to miss, he more than makes up for it by being able to consistently cast his NP thanks to his high NP gain and 2nd skill that offers an instant 75% NP charge. He functions exceptionally well for a critical-based team as he can provide buffs to allies to increase critical star count. |
Lancer |

The mighty cockroach. His skill kit makes him a resilient option for any content with a difficult boss unit. With his second skill providing a 3-turn evade with a relatively low cooldown, as well as a Guts buff through skill 1 giving him a second fighting chance. He can get himself out of a tough spot with his 3rd skill that cleanses all sorts of debuffs from him and heals HP. His NP – Gae Bolg is also not something to scoff atIn fact, it packs good ST damage even against classes he is neutral against. Overall, he is a must have for any tough content as he can pull off a last stand. |
Ruler |
Qin Shi Huang |
Literally the Great Wall of China. His primary method of dealing damage is through immensely high critical damage with his normal attack cards. His greatest asset: NP – Domination Beginning forces enemies to only attack him for a turn while an invincibility buff is active at the same time, making him impervious to all attacks, unless enemies ignore invincibility. His class as a Ruler further increases his durability as it automatically makes him resistant to almost all the other classes barring avengers and berserkers. However, his greatest exploitable weakness is his overreliance on his buffs for peak performance. |
Caster |
Jeanne D’Arc (Alter) |
A powerhouse boasting one of the highest attack stats with high hit counts that is sure to cripple Ruler enemies and any high health foes. Her 1st skill contributes to the high damage by further enhancing her critical damage output. Adding to the pentation is her NP – La Grondement Du Haine that can deal massive damage to a single enemy while shunning them from any buffs for one turn. For survivability, she comes with an invincibility buff with her 3rd skill for one turn. Her 2nd skill, however, is a bit niche as it ups the attack damage of allies with the dragon attribute which not many servants are associated with. |
Saber |
Beni-Enma |
Well known for her Gordon Ramsay shenanigans. Game-wise she scored is popular for offering excellent utility to the team. Her 2nd skill, slaps all kinds of maladies (decreased defense, critical rate and the invaluable NP seal) on enemies, while her 3rd skill gives your team a significant advantage by providing party-wide 10% NP charge and, most importantly, makes your team more resistant to buff removal. Her NP – Judgment by the Ten Kings, Wicker Box’s Fate is the bane of all chaotic evil entities, which most boss enemies share an alignment with. |
Caster |
Zhuge Liang (Waver) |
A must–have for any team. He’s stellar for the same reasons stated in the farming section of this list: a targetable 30% NP charge to ally and party-wide 20% NP charge, along with a slew of good buffs. His NP – Unreturning Formation shines through by stalling enemies by reducing their NP gauge and also has a high chance of stunning them. |
Rider |
Sima Yi (Reines) |
Similar to Zhuge Liang, but instead she offers a party-wide 10% NP charge and a targetable 20% NP charge to an ally. She makes up for the lower charge 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 class disadvantage to your allies, meaning your Lancer won’t take super-effective damage from a saber. |
Caster |
Asclepius |
Another fantastic support heroic spirit, whose NP – Resurrection Fraught Hades offers a party-wide Guts that revives allies when knocked out once (a trait that is exclusive and only shared with Irisviel). He also comes with healing utility as his NP bestows heal per turn (for 3 turns) while his 1st skill can instantaneously restore a significant chunk of HP, along with the bonus of cleansing debuffs with his 3rd skill. He also decently boosts NP generation for your allies with NP gain from skill 2 and instant party-wide 20% NP charge. |
Rider |
Sakata Kintoki (Rider) |
One of the best welfare servants that is sadly not obtainable by any means right now. He is a character that does everything, dealing sky high damage and supports the team indirectly by having the best critical star generation with how easy it is to form Quick chains. His high hit count and great NP gain makes 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. |
Archer |
Chloe von Einzburn |
Just like Rider Kintoki, she is also another welfare whose damage potential tops even the highest rarity. She’s the textbook definition of an overpowered servant. She has stellar damage, ability to spam NP readily with her 2 Arts face card with a staggering 6 hit counts and good NP gain, all while dealing exceptional critical damage. To top it all off, her NP – Tripe Cane Wings absolutely murders any foe and can bypass any who attempts to hide with Evade buff. To go along with it, her 3rd skill provides an instant 50% NP charge to ensure she can fire off her NP in rapid succession. |
Berserker |
Cu Chulainn (Alter) |
One of the best ST damage dealers thanks to the high damage output from his NP – Curruid Coinchenn, high attack stat and the boon of being a Berserker. Unlike his fellow Berserker peers, as a Cu Chulainn, he comes with a skill set designated to significantly increase his chances of survival. His 2nd skill confers 2 times evasion at a low cooldown of 5 turns that makes it spammable. He also comes with guts for 3rd skill. |
Caster |
Merlin |
The backbone of any Buster team and one of the best support heroic spirits whose capabilities will stay unmatched even with the passing time. His 3rd skill can significantly buff a Buster servant along with increased HP. Remarkably, his 2nd skill can provide a one-turn invincibility buff to allies to dodge a big bullet from enemies. He also possesses exceptional Critical shenanigans. Just like the top support servants, his 1st skill provides an imperative party-wide 20% NP charge along with attack up. To top it all off, his NP – Garden of Avalon provides consistent NP charge, critical star generation and recovery. With a good art distribution and excellent NP gain, he can fire off his NP consecutively and stack the effects. |
Caster |
Tamamo No Mae |
Undeniably, her standout attribute is Skill Cooldown Reduction by 1 (an extremely rare commodity). She provides this via her NP – Eightfold Blessing of Amaterasu, along with continuous heal 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 while her 2nd skill is a bit lackluster as it only focuses on amping up her defense. |
Caster |
Scathach Skadi |
The backbone of any Quick team whose presence really breathes new life to Quick-based heroic spirits. Her NP – Gate of Skye provides a party-wide Evade along with a slew of buffs (attack up, critical strength and a niche Death Immune gimmick) and just like many others. Her 3rd skill is straightforward as it provides an instantaneous 50% NP charge. Her main utility lies with her 1st skill that provides significant Quick damage plus critical damage up. |
