"...Constantine is a mosaic of past glories and missed opportunities." Fucking savage and absolutely deserved. Goddamn. Guy plays like someone had Boudica design a Roman emperor: as shit as possible with just enough gloss so that no one noticed until it was too late to do anything about it.
For those Constantine quests, I used the plug suit to swap him out for Castoria and I put Spishtar in the other front slot. It was super effective. I tried to use him one time in those quests and I was left feeling like Krusty the Clown after watching the Russian Itchy and Scratchy: "What the hell was that?" Never again.
The biggest tragedy is that from a historical standpoint, very few other people in history deserve the title of hero more than this guy, holding the line and dying to save as many of his people as he could. Going off of his life, if he'd been born in another era, he could have been one of the greatest emperors on par with Augustus, Trajan, Marcus Aurelius, Aurelian, and Justinian. This review breaks my heart as someone with an Italian background and a Roman fanboy.
I borrowed himand wanted to push him to the limit.... Then in an Interlude quest where we were fighting Stheno he got killed by her NP. By. Her. NP. Not sure how that happened but I should have recorded it! To the Master I borrowed him from.... Im sorry man.
Dude, just go and put mash and you can make everyone survive for 7 turns. There's also arash if you want to wipe out the first set of enemies. Taunt CEs exist. Servants with taunts exist. Castoria exist. Plenty of ways to make your servants survive.
A Rider that has self Buff to make him do some DPS, but neither the Buffs or his Stats are enough to validates it A Crit Support but is a Rider and has no targetted Star Absorb or Self Absorb Tank who's only good at mitigation but not recovering and said mitigation is locked on something he can't spam reliably even when critting a Caster A Specified Support who doesn't offer much compare to the general/generic card buffers Can't be used for Plug since by the time he gets his Damage Support Buff, he'll be too tanky for Outrage or his Taunt to OTK him And if course the worst spit to his face is how any part of his roles are replaceable by free units like Mash, Leonidas or Bunyan. They didn't cover as much ground as he did but the grounds they cover is far better than whatever he's trying to do
The most awful thing is that in terms of pure stats, Costya is above average (along riders), imagine that extra HP and Attack on Medb or Drake who still are better servants despite their terrible stats and being 6-7 years old servants (with Drake being since release) (Context: 5star Riders has a range of 24-25k of stats without Fou.

The way I see it, that comparison is way too flattering to Constantine. QSH at least has the potential to repeat the trick, since his taunt/invuln combo is on his NP, which helps him build back up to his next NP and so on. Once Constantine blows his load, he's back to square one. That's a lot of unnecessary legwork just for the benefits of a half-attacker/half-defender.
Constantine can get his np back fairly consistently with the right comp but I get what you mean. He can also solo very well but it’s slightly dependent on enemy hit count as well. After this comment I went ahead and really asked myself what is the worst ssr in the game and it’s a way more difficult question than I thought. I guess it’s just not easy to find an ssr that you truly cannot make work and tank units are just not very desirable in the current game. Not even qsh see much play anymore bc of Castoria after all.
You roll for him not because he is meta or a good Servant. But because you are based Byzantine/Roman fanboy and you care more about having last Roman Emperor in Chaldea rather than strong Servant.
It’s so funny seeing all these posts with long ass rants about how much he sucks now that his Upgrade is out and he’s become arguably one of the strongest Riders in the game.
I like the idea of servant representing their lore by their gameplay/skills/mechanics/quirks, but just because "Rome has fallen" doesn't mean he's supposed to be a failure. Just give his NP a 1HP 1 time (non stackable) guts to whole team without duration. That's it. With his terrible NP gain he wouldn't be able to spam it anyway. 1hp is vulnerable to DoT. It's quite niche and finds surprising harmony with Higashikata. Both of them commanders, both of them fight until the VERY end, both of them shows their unyelding nature. "He barely stands, but he still protects his comrades, he f-ing do it. What a badasss" It might not be OP, but it's something. It might be luck dependent to work, but he's not supposed to do work of 3-4 servants, so it's fair.
A non stackable guts it's a debuff if you bring some other guts servants, sometimes it will ruin your strategy if the enemies has aoe attacks. His np gain actually it's not that bad in reality and with his first skill it's at least a 60% guaranteed refound with an arts card crits, i'll make his first skill np gain three turns instead with a second battery, so he can mitigate (nullify) enemies damage more times. But i like your idea about the infinite guts, but instead of unstackable i'll make it with a different name and with a condition to have only one up at a time (and then buff his def up adding another def up for three turns and buster up for the whole party)
For the Constantine quests: I just stuck a bunch of 3 turn taunters in the party and equipped them all with Ideal Holy King to raise the party's max health. It was George, Odysseus, Deon, and Percival in that order. Deon and Percival never saw the field, and Odysseus rarely shows up. George with extra health is disgustingly tanky and his taunt only has a 2 turn downtime, so all Constantine has to do is use his taunt on one turn and his NP on the next. I focus fired the Berserkers too. The VIPs never even take damage.
@@keroro407 he also has a 3 turn taunt with a very respectable defense buff, and a guts if you need him to last a little longer. his bond CE is great at enabling smoother solo strategies as well. lastly he lets you meme around with the anti dragon servants. it's insane how this basically free 2* from year 1 does what a LIMITED 5* from year SEVEN about a thousand million times better.
I’ve labbed him quite a bit and I will say that he’s not completely unusable as he can act as hard survival on slower Buster teams against enemy NPs when Merlin’s illusion is down. His crit damage, while not on super Orion levels, can kill enemies with 150k hp on neutral when buffed. His third skill’s secondary effect is something that isn’t relevant 90% of the time and is a bonus more than anything. His biggest issue is, as many people have said, that slower defensive teams are not exactly in high demand unless they’re arts. So not amazing, but not awful and can fulfill niches that Mash cannot.
The h at the start of many greek words in english is a actually a feature of ancient greek where they added a half silent h at the start of many words that was represented by a half moon above the letter. It was pronounced differently among different ancient greek dialects and changed overtime. In modern greek it has disappeared but it still exists in english words as an h (english took words from ancient greek and not modern greek) i think your pronunciation was fairly good for ancient greek. Btw this h is the same h as in the word history. In modern greek history its istoria but again in ancient greek there was that weird h at the start
At least for other 5*, they have a use if you snort enough copium. There is not enough copium for Constantine unless they do an entire revamp for him like MHX.
I got a friend who picked him up as a trophy husband, and after playing with him in the servant quests, the man really needs a skill and np upgrade for real
Got him from 90 SQ for 3 reasons: 1. No one rolls for him, so it'll be hard to try him from support 2. ROMA meme comps 3. Closest thing to a servant I want in FGO Poor Michael still needs a buff tho.
Welp, guess I better get a high dose of copium, cause I did unironically roll for him since I’m all about the Roman memes since I got a fully grailed Romulus=Q that I’m all about giving friends to. Foolish decision, but I stand by it. So pray I can make something work with the last king.
Constantine works better in more typical slow Buster teams with Merlin over any memey Roman teams, though a team of Romulus, Merlin and Constantine could probably clear most things
Finois just memeing here, Constantine is doing so many things, that if one of them doesnt work perfectly in some composition, it doesnt make him a bad servant.
If this man wasn’t a 5-Star, would he have been viable either as a 1-3 star or welfare 4-Star? And if not “viable,” at least maybe tolerable? He just seems like a much lower-rarity servant with his design, or if not low-rarity, then early-era FGO.
Ultimately, his competition is Mash, who is better at giving defensive buffs to the party (without Roman restrictions) better at Buster crit shenanigans via Ortinax, AND FREE. Man never stood a chance.
@@PanoryConstantine has considerably higher crit damage and is better for providing hard defense on slower Buster teams. Ortinax Mash’s bigger upside is that she has 2 traunt effects and an invul tied to 1.
@@blurb9319 And yet still, I (along with many others) would still feel cheated by spending money on a 5 star servant when I can acheive quest completion with plenty of cheaper alternitives, who can do what he does just as well. Money, Time, & patience come into play here as well, and are equivical in this instance
the name that we use is adapted fron the greek name. the greek name, Ἁγία Σοφία, has a rough breathing, so the “h” sound is appropriate (because of English’s relationship with Greek, the adaptation is pretty much 1:1) there is a (minor) question of whether or not the gamma is a modern or ancient sound, as they are described by ancient linguists as a hard-g and they are used by modern speakers as more of a yod. dating the building to the 6th century CE would imply an ancient pronunciation there is a Turkish name, which is also an adaptation from the Greek name, but the building was initially named in greek (church of the holy wisdom of god) in sum: you pronouned it fine
Ayy, Constantine's got a buff now. Guess it had 2 weeks to be relevant before it's not completely relevant? I still find it funny that they doubled down on his support side rather than focus on having him be the best tanky DPS option there is that isn't "Castoria combo mania".
imagine my shock when I tried him out in the trial quest and found out his defense up from NP only lasts *1 turn*. Like bro... this is why Mehmed & the Ottomans won
I'll admit that I find him the most forgettable SSR Servant name wise because I can't remember to spell his name properly, so I resumed calling him Michael. And I talked to someone else about his name, and they said that they call him Mickey, so I made a joke fanart of Mickey Mouse wearing his clothes, and it definitely gave off Kingdom Hearts Mickey vibe.
Ahem.... OH MICKEY WHAT A PITY YOU DONT UNDERSTAND. YOU TAKE ME BY THE HEART WHEN YOU TAKE ME BY THE HAND OH MICKEY YOU'RE SO PRETTY CANT YOU UNDERSTAND? IT'S GUYS LIKE YOU MICKEY! OH WHAT YOU DO MICKEY, DO MICKEY DONT BREAK MY HEART MICKEY!
only good thing i'll say about this guy (outside of his role in the plots he's featured in, i though he was fun in chaldea boys and im curious what he'll be like in traum) is that when rolling for him he gave me my 5th Kscope, allowing me to enter the superscope club early. yes im a psychopath, what tipped you off?
I begged the Lord to give me Castoria and I would not Roll for Kremild or Charlamagne or my favourite Don Quixote.I Got Castoria after lots of Effort and I can't roll for Kremhild Now sadly and also promised to save till Archtype Earth and Later Summer Skadi...God Pls send these 2 to my Chaldea,Pls...!!!
@@pranavshinde4472 I think if you are low on funds, you have to pick either Arc OR Summer rolls. Not both since they are not far apart from each other at all.
@@orga7777 yes ur right.my preferred choice is Skadi but Arcueid is like special occasion so it's like a tradition to get her though I have to control myself.
Konstantine was actually the only gacha servant this year i was genuinely looking forward to and willing to spend for this year lol i got him in 30 pulls, no need to spend, very happy
The funniest thing is i played with those trial quest and actually used him to keep the roman alive, and it was always easier to be using mash and george
I think the best way to use his first skill is to use it with his NP, especially if he has Arts Card. That way, he draws the enemy's attention while his buffs are up, while also gaining more NP charge to use his NP next turn, somewhat alleviating the duration issue. Still isn't that great, but for what it's worth, I had fun using him in those trial quests. Probably helped that I mostly used Santa Martha as the third frontliner though 😅
It’s cool that they tried something with him, but that’s not a kit I would put on a limited SSR. If they had to make him SSR no matter what, they could have made him permanent.
I was today years old when I found out that his NP Invul isn't party-wide or for a whole turn. I thought he was a weird Jeanne, but he can't even pull that out... Geez
Yeah, for the exhibition quests I found it was best to just pull a Shimousa and send Constantine to the back line while my own units took care of things (and even then Shimousa had at least *some* fights where the forced Musashi could get the job done). I've found that a team-up of the El-Melloi siblings can hold the line pretty effectively, though I doubt we're wanting for cheaper options that can still out-perform our unfortunate Byzantine emperor.
I mean all his list year were wack, Space/S.Kiara and Kama are all the same rank but he lowers Space and Kiara for no reason. And lets not forget Jinako smh.
I find him to be alright personally, him releasing before mighty chain gave people bad impressions I feel like(Since he felt way better with mighty but people wrote him off as dogshit by then). But yeah I would still pick something like Ozy over him. Also if they were to buff him I hope they go the dps route.
Okay, I'm feeling a little better after having done those LB6-esque trash mob quests that force you to use him. When I first used him there, he felt like a weird version of Leonidas without the taunt. Except Leonidas actually does the defense stuff better, even accounting for the one hit invincibility (which barely makes it worth it). I'm disappointed that Constantine sucks this badly.
I feel like giving Constantine a 3 turn taunt instead of a 1 turn taunt would fix so many of his issues and actually make him a quite usable Servant. Taunters are most useful for Berserker DPSs, who tend to be buster focused, so his combination of taunt and attack/buster buffs would give them protection while not sacrificing a ton of damage. If he's taking hits for 3 turns, he can get his NP more consistently for an extra turn of full defense, and is also way more likely to proc his third skill's buff transfer.
Lots of servants get called terrible but when actually using them they end up playing pretty fine. Regular Abby being pretty good for some lottery and 90+ quests. Summer Abby in general, 50% battery and can use her skills to help support your main dps. But I really don't know how to get the most out of Constantine. Using him in those trial quests, he was very underwhelming, the defence just wasn't there and felt like mash would have been a better choice in any situation. He needs something to make him shine a bit more.
Abigail summer also has 70% def down and 30% buster res down, for raids/Ordeal call 1T nodes she is better than a second Oberon if you have 30% charge and no crazy high atk skill on the ST. Can ignore some raid gimmicks like we had in gudaguda by removing buffs as well. she is legit top tier in a type of node even at np1 before any buff
The exhibition quests succeeded. In making me really like Taisui. I got obliterated twice using the frontline I was given, and just ended up swapping out for a Taisui/Castoria frontline. He really doesn't care too much about class advantage as long as the trash mobs die, since his st damage comes from those curses. Defense strats? Nah, just rip through all the enemies by turn 7.
blud, idk if you've been reading fgo for the past decade, but just because you were a loser/failure doesnt stop you from being a Servant. Not the problem here. Its the kit and his gameplay that is
@@jongab2761 i never said he couldnt. its his kit, like his life choices: a failure. Btw it was his own hubris to provoke Mehmed II. He really shouldnt tried to blackmail him.
I dropped Percival on those quests and Constantine only noteworthy contribution to team defence has been a single turn per every six turns of Percy tanking and spanking the enemies.
is there... already, or going to be, a quick NP servant that fills the same role as Constantine and Mash? Theoretically you could try to run the three of them at the same time once they exist for a stupidly defensive team, I guess? Not that it would be good, but you could pop their NPs all on the same turn for silly meme reasons and cause something silly to happen, I guess?
Man to be honest when I see this guy, I always think of George seriously like his a *5 star version of him with mash skill, but even with that mash out performs him as a sustain
In those Protect Rome Quests, I used him for the first two turns and swapped him out for Mash and just used her to defend. I dont know what they were thinking with Constantine's kit, but its not good.
I did not see anything about this servant until now, but I've been to Ayasofya. Now he feels cool, but not enough to make me waste S Skadi and Sen no Rikyu funds.
For these Constantine CQs, I got bored of trying to be clever and my plan is to let turn one hit as it pleases, have Constantine taunt turn 2, turn 3 swap to level 1 Leonidas, turn 4 I bring out chavelier de eon with guda guda poster girl (the most unnecessary ce combo ive ever run) and they will evade for turn 4, probably live through turn 5, maybe die turn 6, merlin has been here the whole time for an aoe invuln for turn 7.
I feel like he should have been an immortal Rider considering that he stood his ground for 52 (I think?) days just to save his citizens according to history. If anything, his skills and NP should have been "Party wide except self" Buff kinda thing. He also seems to be outclassed by Boudica who synergizes well will Arts Supports like Mash and Castoria and correct me if I'm wrong but isnt she ironically also used alongside Roman trait Servants as a meme and does a decent job?
I was extremely hyped when he was announced, so they had to try really hard to make me skip him. I mean, he has design, VA,lore and a beautiful NP animation, how can his kit be this bad?! Like, I fully invested on prebuff Salter, Yan Guifei and grailed Inshun to 100. But Konstantin is too much. He needs massive buffs, like OG Kiara did, imo
Konstantin was so bad, that in my experience in his personal trial quest, it's better to just swap him with Castoria and loop with Muramasa to clear the mobs. His on death buff is for the right most servant, while the target that need to be protected is on the left. The position doesn't even make any sense. If only his taunt lasted for 5 turns on 6 turns cool down. That'll justify his rarity at least.
1:23 This is the reason why i skipped him and never thought of rolling for him, he just looks.. goofy? I don't know what's so wrong about him, maybe the head is too big.
A rider trying to provide stars to anything else without star absorb targetted or star absorb down self like we have with bart, habetrot or maybe just gen enough stars for it not to matter like astolfo

Then in an Interlude quest where we were fighting Stheno he got killed by her NP.
By. Her. NP.
Not sure how that happened but I should have recorded it! To the Master I borrowed him from.... Im sorry man.
Because her Np has an instant kill to males....Any male could be killed by her np unless they are death immune like gramps.
Well, her NP *does* have Instant Death chance built-in... It's just easy to forget since it never works for the player on anything worthwhile.
Her death chance is somewhat decent (but only works for males unfortunately)
the other replies have already mentioned stheno's instadeath, and im here to also add that constantine has a fairly high death rate (45%)

Mf is a 3* disguising as a 5* with that disgusting kit. They really made a poor man's Mash as a limited SSR, and Mash is free from day 1 LMAO
He's even worse than Georgios. At least George is cheap.
@@keroro407 he also has a 3 turn taunt with a very respectable defense buff, and a guts if you need him to last a little longer. his bond CE is great at enabling smoother solo strategies as well. lastly he lets you meme around with the anti dragon servants. it's insane how this basically free 2* from year 1 does what a LIMITED 5* from year SEVEN about a thousand million times better.
@@keroro407 dont slander George!
@@Treasure_hunter_21I didn't intend to slander Saint G. What I meant by "cheap" is a positive thing.
I’ve labbed him quite a bit and I will say that he’s not completely unusable as he can act as hard survival on slower Buster teams against enemy NPs when Merlin’s illusion is down. His crit damage, while not on super Orion levels, can kill enemies with 150k hp on neutral when buffed. His third skill’s secondary effect is something that isn’t relevant 90% of the time and is a bonus more than anything. His biggest issue is, as many people have said, that slower defensive teams are not exactly in high demand unless they’re arts. So not amazing, but not awful and can fulfill niches that Mash cannot.
The h at the start of many greek words in english is a actually a feature of ancient greek where they added a half silent h at the start of many words that was represented by a half moon above the letter. It was pronounced differently among different ancient greek dialects and changed overtime. In modern greek it has disappeared but it still exists in english words as an h (english took words from ancient greek and not modern greek) i think your pronunciation was fairly good for ancient greek. Btw this h is the same h as in the word history. In modern greek history its istoria but again in ancient greek there was that weird h at the start
The F**k are you talking about?Mention that dammitm
Ah, yes. The Dehya of FGO.
Basically waiting for a new support or mechanic that can make him even marginally viable.
And 2 weeks later he gets a buff that makes him amazing
One more buff and we're golden ✨️
This didnt age well LMAO.They buffed him to spite Fino
Fino: I'm reviewing the worst 5 star
Everyone: do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?
not really...
No not really, other than Constantine, I can’t think of another shitty five star.
At least for other 5*, they have a use if you snort enough copium. There is not enough copium for Constantine unless they do an entire revamp for him like MHX.

@@ShiraFuyu2022 Can't forget Artemis either, power crept by a 3* as she is.
I got a friend who picked him up as a trophy husband, and after playing with him in the servant quests, the man really needs a skill and np upgrade for real
Got him from 90 SQ for 3 reasons:
1. No one rolls for him, so it'll be hard to try him from support
2. ROMA meme comps
3. Closest thing to a servant I want in FGO
Poor Michael still needs a buff tho.
dang it took me like 500 something got spooked by martha twice and thought i got him and basically the same exact reasons you said is why i pulled
@@actuallymerlin Don't worry mate, my luck run dry, 300+ SQ on Charlie and Moriarty and nuthin.
@@Kub1na32 rip i said i was gonna save for lady avalon then i went and spent 300 on holmes and got him at least
The biggest tragedy with him is we dont even get his glasses costume from the chaldea boys event :(
Welp, guess I better get a high dose of copium, cause I did unironically roll for him since I’m all about the Roman memes since I got a fully grailed Romulus=Q that I’m all about giving friends to. Foolish decision, but I stand by it. So pray I can make something work with the last king.
Constantine works better in more typical slow Buster teams with Merlin over any memey Roman teams, though a team of Romulus, Merlin and Constantine could probably clear most things
@@blurb9319 thx for the notice. I will most definitely try that out :3
Finois just memeing here, Constantine is doing so many things, that if one of them doesnt work perfectly in some composition, it doesnt make him a bad servant.
THEY BUFFED HIM! THEY ACTUALLY DID IT THE MADLADS!
This not gonna age well lol

If this man wasn’t a 5-Star, would he have been viable either as a 1-3 star or welfare 4-Star? And if not “viable,” at least maybe tolerable? He just seems like a much lower-rarity servant with his design, or if not low-rarity, then early-era FGO.
No. Even among F2P there are way better option. If he was Quick, not a Rider and free then maybe he has a shot.
If his Buster was at least AoE and last multi turn, he'd be slightly better
Ultimately, his competition is Mash, who is better at giving defensive buffs to the party (without Roman restrictions) better at Buster crit shenanigans via Ortinax, AND FREE. Man never stood a chance.
@@PanoryConstantine has considerably higher crit damage and is better for providing hard defense on slower Buster teams. Ortinax Mash’s bigger upside is that she has 2 traunt effects and an invul tied to 1.
@@blurb9319 And yet still, I (along with many others) would still feel cheated by spending money on a 5 star servant when I can acheive quest completion with plenty of cheaper alternitives, who can do what he does just as well. Money, Time, & patience come into play here as well, and are equivical in this instance
the name that we use is adapted fron the greek name. the greek name, Ἁγία Σοφία, has a rough breathing, so the “h” sound is appropriate (because of English’s relationship with Greek, the adaptation is pretty much 1:1)
there is a (minor) question of whether or not the gamma is a modern or ancient sound, as they are described by ancient linguists as a hard-g and they are used by modern speakers as more of a yod. dating the building to the 6th century CE would imply an ancient pronunciation
there is a Turkish name, which is also an adaptation from the Greek name, but the building was initially named in greek (church of the holy wisdom of god)
in sum: you pronouned it fine
Rome has fallen, it's Constintover 😱😱😱
Well at least he's really popular with actual FGO artists
I've seen so many artists obsessed with him
They really fucked up by showing us how bad Constantine XI with those quests.
Ayy, Constantine's got a buff now. Guess it had 2 weeks to be relevant before it's not completely relevant? I still find it funny that they doubled down on his support side rather than focus on having him be the best tanky DPS option there is that isn't "Castoria combo mania".
imagine my shock when I tried him out in the trial quest and found out his defense up from NP only lasts *1 turn*. Like bro... this is why Mehmed & the Ottomans won
....I believed that his Def was for 3turns from when he launched in Jp,imagine my shock when I found out it was 1 freaking turn????
@@pranavshinde4472well he dont have enough budget to fix the walls😂
Literally from Zero to Hero. That NP buff was insane and him the perfect buster support.
What happened to the short lil history section.
I'll admit that I find him the most forgettable SSR Servant name wise because I can't remember to spell his name properly, so I resumed calling him Michael. And I talked to someone else about his name, and they said that they call him Mickey, so I made a joke fanart of Mickey Mouse wearing his clothes, and it definitely gave off Kingdom Hearts Mickey vibe.
Ahem....
OH MICKEY WHAT A PITY YOU DONT UNDERSTAND.
YOU TAKE ME BY THE HEART WHEN YOU TAKE ME BY THE HAND
OH MICKEY YOU'RE SO PRETTY CANT YOU UNDERSTAND?
IT'S GUYS LIKE YOU MICKEY! OH WHAT YOU DO MICKEY, DO MICKEY DONT BREAK MY HEART MICKEY!
I don’t care how bad he is, anyone who’s played FGO and EU4 will pay out the nose to get him
only good thing i'll say about this guy (outside of his role in the plots he's featured in, i though he was fun in chaldea boys and im curious what he'll be like in traum) is that when rolling for him he gave me my 5th Kscope, allowing me to enter the superscope club early. yes im a psychopath, what tipped you off?
I begged the Lord to give me Castoria and I would not Roll for Kremild or Charlamagne or my favourite Don Quixote.I Got Castoria after lots of Effort and I can't roll for Kremhild Now sadly and also promised to save till Archtype Earth and Later Summer Skadi...God Pls send these 2 to my Chaldea,Pls...!!!
@@pranavshinde4472 I think if you are low on funds, you have to pick either Arc OR Summer rolls. Not both since they are not far apart from each other at all.
@@orga7777 yes ur right.my preferred choice is Skadi but Arcueid is like special occasion so it's like a tradition to get her though I have to control myself.
I love that he has the anti-Archer append skill. Meaning we already know what class Mehmet II is gonna be
Konstantine was actually the only gacha servant this year i was genuinely looking forward to and willing to spend for this year lol
i got him in 30 pulls, no need to spend, very happy
I thought I hadn’t seen a servant history in a while. I miss those! They are what turned me on to your channel!
The funniest thing is i played with those trial quest and actually used him to keep the roman alive, and it was always easier to be using mash and george
I think the best way to use his first skill is to use it with his NP, especially if he has Arts Card. That way, he draws the enemy's attention while his buffs are up, while also gaining more NP charge to use his NP next turn, somewhat alleviating the duration issue.
Still isn't that great, but for what it's worth, I had fun using him in those trial quests. Probably helped that I mostly used Santa Martha as the third frontliner though 😅
It’s cool that they tried something with him, but that’s not a kit I would put on a limited SSR. If they had to make him SSR no matter what, they could have made him permanent.
Well at least they took the dying empire thing seriously coz this his kit definitely is helping it die faster.
I pulled him. From my Destiny Order summon LMAO
Straight up yeeted all his exhibition quests by running Castoria and then swapping him out with an NP5 Percy immediately lol
I was today years old when I found out that his NP Invul isn't party-wide or for a whole turn. I thought he was a weird Jeanne, but he can't even pull that out... Geez
I also cannot wait for his history lesson!
At least Abigail now has some company down there in the tierlist.
But I'm quite hyped for Creamhild (although I didn't get her... yet).
Bro is literally power crept by Mash the character you fucking start the game with even pre Camelot Mash is better than Constantine
me who literally just pulled him 5 minutes ago because my brain had an aneurism and mistook him as iskandar 😭😭
Yeah, for the exhibition quests I found it was best to just pull a Shimousa and send Constantine to the back line while my own units took care of things (and even then Shimousa had at least *some* fights where the forced Musashi could get the job done). I've found that a team-up of the El-Melloi siblings can hold the line pretty effectively, though I doubt we're wanting for cheaper options that can still out-perform our unfortunate Byzantine emperor.
Thanks, now I regret wasting free quartz because I thought he would make a good invicible buff or something...
He’s getting a buff in less than 2 years which makes him good thankfully.
@@Eyeshield11721 what will make his kit good in the future?

Is constatine getting an update video or you forgot to comment the new buff like you did don quixote?
The fact that Myst put him into A tier is crazy.
I mean all his list year were wack, Space/S.Kiara and Kama are all the same rank but he lowers Space and Kiara for no reason. And lets not forget Jinako smh.
well most of his lists feel like total bait
Some servants are put in higher tiers only because of Myst's bias, but he won't admit that
@@tranviettung9792 you can see the bias when Abigail is in the botton and wandjina is really high even tho they practically have the same kit.
U guys listen to his like...30th Tier List of March???
I find him to be alright personally, him releasing before mighty chain gave people bad impressions I feel like(Since he felt way better with mighty but people wrote him off as dogshit by then). But yeah I would still pick something like Ozy over him. Also if they were to buff him I hope they go the dps route.
When I first use his np in that quest, my first thought was like : yea, he's an expensive Mash with buster only support, that's all 😅
Okay, I'm feeling a little better after having done those LB6-esque trash mob quests that force you to use him. When I first used him there, he felt like a weird version of Leonidas without the taunt. Except Leonidas actually does the defense stuff better, even accounting for the one hit invincibility (which barely makes it worth it). I'm disappointed that Constantine sucks this badly.
I knew he was bad since his first banner on JP, but still spent 230+ SQ on him on NA because of waifu factor💪
"Mom! I want a 5★ Servant!"
"We have a 5★ Servant at home."
5★ Servant at home:
I hope he gets a rank up in his skills
Guess I’ll settle for the history section for this guy then
I feel like giving Constantine a 3 turn taunt instead of a 1 turn taunt would fix so many of his issues and actually make him a quite usable Servant. Taunters are most useful for Berserker DPSs, who tend to be buster focused, so his combination of taunt and attack/buster buffs would give them protection while not sacrificing a ton of damage. If he's taking hits for 3 turns, he can get his NP more consistently for an extra turn of full defense, and is also way more likely to proc his third skill's buff transfer.
I mean they completly replaced him with Andromeda.......Who also isn't that great but has a 3T taunt and 3T buffs so ya better.
no wonder he rebelled on traum, he hated his kit that much
Lots of servants get called terrible but when actually using them they end up playing pretty fine.
Regular Abby being pretty good for some lottery and 90+ quests.
Summer Abby in general, 50% battery and can use her skills to help support your main dps.
But I really don't know how to get the most out of Constantine. Using him in those trial quests, he was very underwhelming, the defence just wasn't there and felt like mash would have been a better choice in any situation.
He needs something to make him shine a bit more.
Abigail summer also has 70% def down and 30% buster res down, for raids/Ordeal call 1T nodes she is better than a second Oberon if you have 30% charge and no crazy high atk skill on the ST. Can ignore some raid gimmicks like we had in gudaguda by removing buffs as well.
she is legit top tier in a type of node even at np1 before any buff
@@GS_CCCher best gimmick his Buff Removal that's why that annoying Brat is cool.
The exhibition quests succeeded. In making me really like Taisui. I got obliterated twice using the frontline I was given, and just ended up swapping out for a Taisui/Castoria frontline. He really doesn't care too much about class advantage as long as the trash mobs die, since his st damage comes from those curses. Defense strats? Nah, just rip through all the enemies by turn 7.

Of course not. Why ask dumb questions?

blud, idk if you've been reading fgo for the past decade, but just because you were a loser/failure doesnt stop you from being a Servant. Not the problem here. Its the kit and his gameplay that is

@@jongab2761 at least he had decency to go down with the city.
I dropped Percival on those quests and Constantine only noteworthy contribution to team defence has been a single turn per every six turns of Percy tanking and spanking the enemies.
nah he's not the worst, arjuna and summer lartoria are still a thing
I hope you do history segments again
is there... already, or going to be, a quick NP servant that fills the same role as Constantine and Mash? Theoretically you could try to run the three of them at the same time once they exist for a stupidly defensive team, I guess? Not that it would be good, but you could pop their NPs all on the same turn for silly meme reasons and cause something silly to happen, I guess?
I remember using Constantine in his little showcase and he was very good!
But the enemies were fodder and he had an additional defence up…
Still love constantine, used him since release, very glad I got him in NA as well
Man to be honest when I see this guy, I always think of George seriously like his a *5 star version of him with mash skill, but even with that mash out performs him as a sustain
George Outperforms him
@@pranavshinde4472 yeah very true
@@AssailantAttacker even Freaking Asterios whose a 1 star and a Berserker😅😅😅
In those Protect Rome Quests, I used him for the first two turns and swapped him out for Mash and just used her to defend. I dont know what they were thinking with Constantine's kit, but its not good.
If his NP buffs applied to the whole party instead of just himself and his taunt was for 3 turns, I could see him being in a niche setup, but alas
I did not see anything about this servant until now, but I've been to Ayasofya. Now he feels cool, but not enough to make me waste S Skadi and Sen no Rikyu funds.
For these Constantine CQs, I got bored of trying to be clever and my plan is to let turn one hit as it pleases, have Constantine taunt turn 2, turn 3 swap to level 1 Leonidas, turn 4 I bring out chavelier de eon with guda guda poster girl (the most unnecessary ce combo ive ever run) and they will evade for turn 4, probably live through turn 5, maybe die turn 6, merlin has been here the whole time for an aoe invuln for turn 7.
I feel like he should have been an immortal Rider considering that he stood his ground for 52 (I think?) days just to save his citizens according to history. If anything, his skills and NP should have been "Party wide except self" Buff kinda thing.
He also seems to be outclassed by Boudica who synergizes well will Arts Supports like Mash and Castoria and correct me if I'm wrong but isnt she ironically also used alongside Roman trait Servants as a meme and does a decent job?
I was extremely hyped when he was announced, so they had to try really hard to make me skip him. I mean, he has design, VA,lore and a beautiful NP animation, how can his kit be this bad?! Like, I fully invested on prebuff Salter, Yan Guifei and grailed Inshun to 100. But Konstantin is too much. He needs massive buffs, like OG Kiara did, imo
Good news, he just got buff
Konstantin was so bad, that in my experience in his personal trial quest, it's better to just swap him with Castoria and loop with Muramasa to clear the mobs.
His on death buff is for the right most servant, while the target that need to be protected is on the left.
The position doesn't even make any sense.
If only his taunt lasted for 5 turns on 6 turns cool down. That'll justify his rarity at least.
1:23 This is the reason why i skipped him and never thought of rolling for him, he just looks.. goofy? I don't know what's so wrong about him, maybe the head is too big.
A rider trying to provide stars to anything else without star absorb targetted or star absorb down self like we have with bart, habetrot or maybe just gen enough stars for it not to matter like astolfo
Why is his on death effect tied to the battery that feeds his NP that makes it hard for him to die?
