Understanding the FGO Tier List Criteria

Before diving into rankings, here’s how we evaluate Servants:

General Utility: How effective a Servant is across most game modes.
Team Synergy: Compatibility with top-tier supports like Merlin, Skadi, Castoria, and Koyanskaya.
NP Gain & Looping: Ability to loop Noble Phantasms for farming efficiency.
Survivability: Skills that grant invincibility, healing, or debuffs.
Damage Output: Both single-target (ST) and area-of-effect (AoE) power.

S-Tier (Top Meta Servants)

These Servants define the current meta and are useful in nearly all situations.

Servant	Class	Role	Why They’re S-Tier
Artoria Caster	Caster	Support	Castoria enables Arts looping, full team invincibility, and high NP gain.
Arjuna (Alter)	Berserker	AoE DPS	Incredible AoE damage with built-in crits and battery.
Koyanskaya of Light	Assassin	Support/DPS	Buster meta enabler with cooldown reduction and massive buffs.
Melusine	Lancer	AoE/ST Hybrid	Flexible NP types, excellent damage, and unique Ascension swap.
Morgan	Berserker	AoE DPS	AoE looping Berserker with high versatility and survivability.

A-Tier (Strong but Team Dependent)

Great performers in the right team setup or specific scenarios.

Servant	Class	Role	Notes
Space Ishtar	Avenger	AoE DPS	Can change NP type to fit multiple metas (Arts, Buster, Quick).

Scathach-Skadi	Caster	Support	Quick team queen with crit and NP buffs.
Tamamo no Mae	Caster	Support	Excellent healing and Arts buffing, great for stall teams.

B-Tier (Niche or High Investment)

Useful in certain compositions but may require effort to shine.

Servant	Class	Role	Notes
Ishtar (Archer)	Archer	AoE DPS	Solid AoE Buster DPS with high crit potential.
Okita Souji	Saber	ST DPS	Great Quick NP spammer, but outclassed in current meta.
Jeanne d’Arc	Ruler	Stall Support	Best in long, defensive battles.
BB Summer	Moon Cancer	NP Looper	Arts/Buster synergy but needs support investment.

Budget and F2P MVPs

These lower-rarity Servants are extremely valuable for free-to-play players.

Arash	Archer	AoE Farmer	Cheap and effective wave clearer.
Spartacus	Berserker	AoE Farmer	Great early-game farming unit with battery.
