I have two types of Grails: 1) The "I like this servant a lot and want them at 100 simply for love." 2) The "They got an Animation Update so the least I can do is put them at lvl 80 for that golden border."
My Grailed Servants. Hercules - I love his character. Always been interested in his lore. Played a role in my childhood when I used to read books about him. Summer BB - Waifu and love her CCC. Abby - Interested in HP Lovecraft mythos. Abby characteristics. Adorable and love pancakes myself. Dioscrui Twins - Their interaction and synergy with each other. Characteristic wise. Loved them in LB5. Love their VA. Kama - Long story short. I'm a sucker for her and a Sakura fan.
I used to avoid grailing characters because I don't care for meta BS. But this video gave me a different perspective on it and now I'm getting ready to grail some characters. I'm gonna start with my mainstays Astrea, Bedivre and Robin Hood and go from there.
7:45 AYO!? - But yeah the aspect that she is probably the most emotionally vulnerable and humble servants out there just makes her deserve all the grails thrown at her I might as well share my grailed picks since the other guy also listed it: Iskandar (120) & Waver (100) - These two come as a pair since I really loved their dynamic and it's still a breath of fresh air seeing a hero being a mentor an inspiration for their master. Charlotte (Caster - 120, Assassin - 114) - Loved how much of an underdog she is as a servant and her voice is just music to my ears. Also her journey from self-hatred to learning to love herself more (via her summer version) was something that speaks quite personally for me. Other reasons: Saber Artoria (100) - She started to spook me a lot so I felt bad for not grailing her Kerry (100) - I thought it was funny to feed him grails. Grand Servants (Orion, Romulus, First Hassan are all 100) - I really liked the concept of Grand Servants and grailing them all as a squad together was a cool goal I wanted to work on over time.
I was expecting and kinda hoping for others to do this too, pretty fun stuff. Mixed feelings what you said about the best waifu archetype of them all aka ojou-samas but I'll still approve a grailed Luvia regardless 🤝
obligatory grail list here: lvl 100 dantès - my favorite avenger by far, and the count of monte cristo's an amazing story. his fate portrayal, while edgy, is just how i'd imagine him to be like. lvl 100 izou - similar reason as yours! i live for the murder hobo vibe. but also, his tragic story genuinely had me feeling for him. lvl 100 mori - not much of a surprise, considering my pfp. but i love his fierce (and i mean, FIERCE) loyalty and very chaotic energy. can't wait to get ranmaru home! lvl 100 mandricardo - i relate to him a lot. his struggle to socialize, his anxiety and constant self-doubt eating him up alive. lb5 was such an enjoyable read with him around and i was left sobbing. 1000/10 goodest boi. lvl 100 ashwatthama - i love the tragedy of his story as well as his design. he was no gameplay grail at all, but i can't deny how hard he hits with some more extra investment. lvl 100 saitou - probably my favorite servant there is. i love his personality, his gameplay, his story, his animations, his voice, just everything about him. i could ramble on forever! definitely a lvl 120 candidate! lvl 80 Bediviere - love him. such a tragic but loyal character, i just adore him. but i ran out of grails fast. lvl 80 salieri - my second favorite extra class servant. again, i ran out of grails. but i love his design and lore. lvl 80 andersen - always carried me way before my waver days, and i love his tragedy and snarky personality. lvl 80 robin hood - my first grailed character ever. love this guy a lot, always carried me through my early fgo days (when he could). if i had more grails, they'd all be lvl 100! and i still have a big backlog of characters i would love to grail. why, yes, i'm a husbando collector. how could you tell?
I grailed both my Musashis. The reason I did is a bit of a story so bear with me. I lived in Japan from 1984-2004. While there I became obsessed with samurai. Because of that I started studying Gosho-ha Hyoho Niten Ichi Ryu under Yoshimochi Kiyoshi, (Gosho-ha represents Yoshimochi's family branch of Hyoho Niten Ichi Ryu) who hadn't yet been named as the 12th successor to the school. I don't consider myself a descendant disciple of Musashi, but I did study his style quite extensively. My teacher passed away in January of 2020, and in March of 2020 I got my first copy of saber Musashi on a single summon ticket on JP. I was already determined to grail her at that point. This year on NA I pulled the summer variant and decided to grail her as well. I grailed Ushiwakamaru because I loved the stories I heard and read about in school, and I love her. (I rolled on Kagekiyo because she's an Ushi face, I didn't even care if she was good or not) I grailed Tomoe Gozen both archer and saber, because I love her design in general. I want to grail Izo, but I'm hoping against hope that we'll get Kawakimi Gensai (another of the 4 hitokiri), so I'm waiting so I can grail them both.
Ah Mordred the true baeber of fate. Once she showed up in fate apocrypha she immediately caught my eye, her design, her personality, her fighting style, and how she shows as the beast that she was in apocrypha.
I grail servants for either gameplay/strengthening purposes, or because I really like their character/history, or both. Notable ones include: -Corday at Lvl. 70 (underrated badass in history, also adorable) -d'Eon at Lvl. 90 (another badass, but also intriguing story) -Sanson at Lvl. 80 (I'm one of the 13 Sanson fans out there, and I find his irl history and experiences incredibly fascinating) -Liangyu at Lvl. 94 on her way to 100 (super-badass historical figure and I love her) -Salieri at Lvl. 94 on his way to 100+ (Probably my single favorite character in Fate. I love this man with my heart and soul, and his history is compelling to me. Everything about him I adore)
Might as well share my grails too: Summer Jalter - Literally the reason I started playing FGO. I loved her in Summer 3, and she carried me thru everything pretty much. Plus she was my first Bond 10 so it felt only natural to Grail her to 100 Eresh - My first SSR, and god she’s just so cute. I absolutely adore her and when Summer Eresh comes out you better believe I’m whaling and grailing her too. Summer Musashi - Someone I’ve wanted ever since starting. Arts Looper plus it’s Musashi, and I do love Musashi. Summer Melt - 🐧. That is all. Scáthath - Initially done on a whim but I’ve really come to appreciate her now. Worth it.
My Grailed Servants Edmond Dantes - His story was very interessting for me and when I once went to look up what his FGO Abilities are in terms of lore, I was flabbergasted by how awesome they were. Scathach - I don't remember when I started seeing art of her, but at some point, I started to look her up and came upon FGO that way. It was also then that I realiszed I had read about her in a Fate-Fanfiction before she even existed in FGO (Nerve Damage) and that was another push for me to get into FGO. Also, getting her was probably the hardest I ever had to spend in early FGO for a Servant. Qin Shi Huang - The best Lostbelt-King hands down. I like Morgan more now that she is out, but she has way more time do develop in her story, as LB6 is MUCH longer. What made me ultimately decide: "Yep, he gets Grails", is the ending of LB3, where we fight him and upon losing he still agrees to help us out and admits to his own mistakes. Kama - I mostly picked her for gameplay-reasons, but I do like how all her Ascensions are very diffrent, both in art and animation-wise. Other than that, she is pretty hot i guess?
My grailed servants are: Brynhildr (both versions) and Sigurd 100: Bryn was my 2nd ever SSR and my first gold Lancer. At first, I liked her gameplay and design. Then I got curious and read her lore, cried and instantly went to grail. Then, I found out about Sigurd being in the game on JP, looked him up and instantly fell in love with his design and animations. Then I read his bond lines, looked up his lore and began to appreciate him as a character. I then decided that these 2 would be equals. Til death do them part. Anastasia 100: I initially grailed her cuz the disease her brother suffered was used to help me understand my dad's condition. Then I read her interlude and instantly the grails we're worth it. I simp hard for this girl. Kojiro 100: love his gameplay and the way he's interpreted in Fate is infinitely fascinating to me. Jalter 100: first SSR and LITERALLY CARRIED ME through all of arc 1, plus is the reason why I love Avengers, so it's only fair. Mori 90: I love everything about him. Absolute loyalty incarnate and consider him my son. (Ranmaru will also be grailed and become my daughter) Both Lancelots 90: is the reason why I love the Round Table. His tragic story is so endearing to me and Knight of Owner is my favorite conceptual NP. William Tell 90: read LB 4 and his interlude. Got hit in the feels, reminds me of Big Boss (and being a huge MGS fan), enough said. Bedivere 80: was so impressed with how he was handled in Camelot that I was compelled. Good boy. Caligula 80: Loved him even before Olympus, but that certainly helped. The way he stays committed on his path, regardless of the atrocities he committed and demanding to not be forgiven is something that left me speechless. One of the true examples of what a Berserker can be.
Super Orion- did it for the Meta But than i got to know him,he's just a fun goofy boy whome I'd love to make friends with if he was real, he has a charming personality and he never fails to make me laugh, I love his dynamic with Artemis no matter how many shenanigans he does he still truly loves Artemis and he has kinda a tragic story Besides I'm a body builder Spisthar-Rin best girl, Ishthar best girl,Asthrate tragic but best girl, Meta girl And I'm Hording Grails for Koryanchihuahua, since she's a fox sniper lady,hates humans ( understandable ), unique sense of humour, a women of her word Melusine-Illya but point eyebrows, that's it
I resonate with the Van Gogh part so much - I got her at NP 1 at first because I saw she is just a really strong servant and I really wanted a foreigner to help me with story. I am also a massive sucker for any art or poetry based servants, as I have massive respect for artists having tried drawing and growing a liking to it. So seeing Van Gogh and Hokusai in servant form and given so much respect to their story, life, and art in FGO. I can't help myself. During Goghie's event, seeing her grown, learning her story, her inner self, and the ending of the event, it all just made my heart melt. I would not be able to live with myself if I ever hurt her in some way. She is now sitting at 10/10/10 skills done over 2 days, NP 2 and I even tried for NP 3 (would have gone for NP 5 if i had the funds). Once my Saber-tolfo gets to 1.5k/2k in both HP and ATK Fous, they're then going to Goghie. I'm gonna grail Goghie to lvl 100 as well once i get the QP to do so. My Murasaki Shikibu (Rider) is grailed to lvl 90. At first I just wanted a rider servant as I literally had 0 gold riders before her. Then I read her role in the summer event she was in, and I just started liking her more and more. I haven't read any of her works yet, but I still hold high respects for her because of her poetry and knowing it was some of the first ever. And yes i know summer versions are joking around with servants and such, but hey, she's a 4 star and i wanted both Murasaki and a strong rider servant. Both versions of Astolfo grailed: saber to 100, rider to 90. Reasoning: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Castoria at 100 as well, just kinda wanted to. Haven't read LB 6 yet, so idk much about her story.
I just roll for van gogh just because SHE'S VAN GOGH didn't even know that she's that strong to begin with i just love irl van gogh so much that i got her to np2 after her event and knowing her story I'm not even mad at that she's genderbend or she's not actually van gogh or what i love her even move and she's level 100 now
I'm so happy you have Babbage on your list. He was my first 100 grail, one of the first servants I summoned and a character who's design I fell in love with minute 1. It always makes me sad when people just.... ignore his presence and write him off as a useless servant.
Am guessing ppl sleep on him hard because his damage isn't the greatest even with buffs ? Other than that idk i love using him even if he's not my support lineup
Since everyone's sharing their grailed servants, I'll be sharing mine too :D Hokusai (Foreigner & Saber) - Her Noble Phantasm in her OG class caught my attention, especially how great strong the VA'S acting in that NP. Hokusai is also a badass for not falling for cthulu, plus how they portray both father and daughter as a crazed painter who wanted to keep painting is a win win for me since I love arts and currently taking fine arts in college. Also Kuroboshi's art is just *chef kiss*. Will definitely get her to NP 5 if ever. Robin Hood - my first 3 star servant. He literally carried me throughout the story, I love him so much, from his personality and his story, literally my husband. I also enjoyed Robin Hood since it was one of my childhood stories! Glad that Fate implemented him. QSH - Kinda same as how you describe Bedivere, Meta wise and MOTH. Love his art style and his story in Lostbelt 3. Might Grail some of these servants too: Proto Arthur, Kama, Van Gogh, Voyager, Yang Guifei, Ozy, Gil, and Euryale. The servant I would grail immediately if only I have them
Grailing is truly the greatest thing fgo gave us to show our love for our favorite servants. It's also the most cursed thing because of how many coins we need to go to 120 💀
The first servant I grailed was Scheherazade. When I was a child, my father read to me 1001 Nights and to this day, it remains as one of my favorite literary pieces. I started the game a few weeks before Agharta launched in NA and when I saw her, I knew I wanted her in my Chaldea, so I rolled a bunch of times and got nothing. It was until the very last three quartz that she came and from that day on, she became my main combat Caster despite everyone else telling me she's shit. Thanks to command codes, she can apply burn to enemies and so works very well with Yang Guifei and Castoria, both of which I'm lucky to have obtained as well. The second servant I grailed was Saber Artoria. I loved Fate Stay Night. It was what got me into this sea of salt back in 2006. She's still my best frontline saber and hits hard as hell. Third was Rider Medusa. I love this character not just because she was awesome in Heaven's Feel, but because I always liked her in Greek myth. So her being only a three star servant felt kind of inappropriate for me. Medusa Lily and Gorgon are also in my Chaldea, the latter of which is grailed too, considering I got her early and she carried me since Septem until Goetia's defeat. I still use her when I know a difficult enemy is coming on when farming. I've also grailed Medea, because for a long time, she was my best single target combat Caster, and despite her low damage, her Rule Breaker got me out of tons of problems. Atalante remains as my best archer, especially because I have no 5 Stars of that class, but hey, the cat lady is excellent anyway. and if there is a pattern here, is that I'm a sucker for greek mythology. As for Assassins, I grailed Kama because her summoning was fortuitous. I did a single multi with my last 30 SQ and she popped up along with Parvati, so I was ver happy. Her sheer damage against Riders and her niche against Alter Egos helped me immensely, making her a mainstay in my teams. The other Assassin I have grailed is Mata Hari. I love her protagonism in Salem, but she was one of my earliest characters and grew very fond of her. This is also a character I like because I read about the real Mata Hari when I was a child. Boudica was also an early servant that I grailed and the one I used the instant ascension on when I was starting because I was getting my ass handed to me while I was still learning and noticed her NP was more defensive and was helping me survive. Some might say that it was a waste, but I don't regret any of that. She was another historical figure I read about while I was a child and was impressed with her bravery. As for Lancers, I grailed classic Cu Chulainn just because I like him as a character and because he's a real cockroach. Nothing kills him. The other Lancer I grailed was Artoria Alter, who just popped up in London never to be seen again... kind of boring, but she hits hard and her NP applies curse, so she's good in long fights. I want to grail Scathach too, because she's both a monster and funny as hell. Ushiwakamaru is at 80 currently. She's so good and funny as hell. Headpats. Can't go wrong with that. I haven't grailed any Berserker yet. I'm undecided between Musashi or Penthesilea. Arash is one character I think deserves being grailed too.
Billy is my favorite servant lol, he was really cool within the scenes he's been in (especially the lostbelt stuff ) and just find that he's a solid single target burster. Hope for a Billy buff one day!!
I haven't grailed any of my servants yet but I have an idea who I want to. Voyager - that smile of our space son and gift to the universe keeps me going for miles and days. He is my first and only foreigner so far too. Karna - He's been my favorite servant since I watched Apocrypha a long time ago. So yes I'm going to grail him. And make him go absolutely nuclear. Asclepius - I don't have many support kit servants so I level up the ones I have to the best of my abilities.
I only have two grailed servants and am currently hoarding like 8 grails due to indecision: #1: My king, Leonidas; he has no equal. My favorite character in both FGO and history, this absolute LEGEND cannot be tamed and I build my entire roster around him. He's 100 with two appends unlocked, and eventually he WILL go all the way to 120. #2: Heracles, the Master of Solo himself, also level 100. This man's myths form a core memory in my childhood, and he and Illya were easily my favorite parts of all versions of Stay Night. Heracles is the only person who can even kinda stand next to Leonidas in my heart, and as such he is the last Servant I'll get to 100 before Leonidas gets to 120. After that, I have 8 grails I can't decide how to use. Candidates are Caster Cu, Saber Lancelot, Caster Gilgamesh, Rider Medusa, and Archer Emiya.
Herc (102, working on 120): I like his story. The fact that he was my first 4* helps and the fact that he has put in the work is points in his favor. BB (4*) (90): Did so as a successful catalyst for her summer self. Also she’s cute. Arash/Spartacus/Chen Gong (80): Grailed because I - at the time - thought I needed multiple K-scopes to build a farming team. Then I had a random idea to scavenge what I had to stitch something together - given that Pure Prisms dropped at that time, I literally had no excuses. Will likely grail the lot to 90.
My grailed servants: Level 102 Berserker Lancelot: The first reason is because he's badass, even before the animation update. He's a knight with a minigun for NP. The animation update is just icing on the cake. Then, I found out about his lore and I just deeply relate to him like I just feel sorry for him. It felt as if I want him to live a better life after that. Level 100 Berserker Musashi: I really love her carefree Onee-san personality and her lore throughout Shimousa, Anastasia and Atlantis. When I first found out about her death in JP, man I started crying. I was very emotional about that. I'm still pissed at myself that I didn't get her saber form. I guess I just have to make the best of it. Level 100 Van Gogh: At first, I was attracted by her sheer unstable insanity personality and her gameplay from the JP server. When NA comes around and I saw imaginary scramble, it felt I was reliving my own story the same way I feel with Berserker Lancelot. The fact that she guilt trips herself so much just makes me want to pull her out from her own depressive world. Level 90 Tomoe Gozen: She's just the best. Perfect mix of design, personality and gameplay for me. And she carried me through Camelot so she has a special place in my heart. Level 90 Ushi: Same reason as Tomoe Gozen, but cuter. Level 90 Amadeus Mozart: His story in Orleans was really funny. I deeply enjoy watching this douchebag do his shenanigans. Level 90 Salieri: I'm held at gunpoint. Level 69 Edward teach: *I'm dead set making this guy the most meme-iest servant in my roster.* I even went far and beyond to making his stats and his ce that I choose for him has to have a 69 on it, I'm dead serious.
My grails are Kiyohime 100: I’ll be honest, I kinda like how assertive she is, and I might have little bit of a thing for yandere. Nyalter 100: There really isnt that much of a reason for her. I just looked at her design and immediately loved it. Maou Nobu 100: Honestly, the main reason is cuz hot. Osakabehime 100: she was my first 5 star in this game, and carried me through some tough rider fights. I love her awkward personality and her valentine is so adorable. Circe 100: I love her part of Odysseus legend as it is the one that got me interested in greek myth in the first place and over all liking the tale. When I learned she was in Fate, I was convinced to download FGO. My planned grails are Astraea, Van Gogh, Melusine, Baobhan Sith and Rikyu.
I have grailed: Junao - OP Berserker is OP Summer Musashi - Art looper and I love her Character Summer Kiara - Arts looper Mordred - One of my first few DPS servants Saito - BURY THE LIGHT Kiritsugu - He deserve love to sooth his pain MHXX - My first Berserker killer Summer Hokusai - Great Single target arts looper Summer Jeanne - Chuuni Summer Melt - First looper Salieri - The Ivan fight speaks for itself
Summer BB (120 soon): I just love BB Protea(100, eventually 120): Best Kaiju daughter Voyager (100, eventually 120): I really love his third ascension and the whole concept behind him. His NP always make me tear inside Salieri (100): Really love both his design and arc during the first lostbelt. Also haha angry man goes DIO SANTISSIMO MISERICORDIA DE MI when looping Abby (100): Pretty similar, I love lovecraftian inspired things and abby is super cute. Her second ascension is kinda dope too while both having her more or less covered and keeping the cool NP animation Shipstar (96, coins happened): Purely meta purposes. It's not like I don't like her or anything, but I wouldn't had grailed her if she wasnt the best/most versatile looper in the game Heracles (90): My first servant who carried me through the whole game (and still does sometimes). Felt like I had to. No regrets whatsoever, basakah is the strongest in the world. For the future, I want to 120 Don Quixote. As a Spaniard myself his appearance was long due, but damn was the wait worth it
In the numbered order of servants I have grailed and why. -Andersen lvl 100: I didn't know much about Andersen at all, but in the French chapter while my Marie rider and Siegfried where down. Leaving only him and Mashu. He DESTROYED Sanson and Berserker Lot. Idk in that moment I saw Andersen as the coolest guy ever with his NP that heals with buffs and cause It was such a close call I had to learn how to play the game. Later down the line a friend of mine who grew up in Denmark now lives in the states told me history about Andersen, and I related to him on another level. I don't want to get into it myself, but my health was not the best, and Andersen made me want to keep trying despite the odds. Not only that, but as my friend was telling me about Andersen, they told me to go out and read one of his stories. I did, and I cried. I rather not say the story, cause it's really dark and is very death heavy, but I still have not finished it, and shocked such a dark story was written in such a lovely way by such a man for people to read. So from there I went down the Andersen and history rabbit hole and still chocked that Andersen knew Charlies Dickens, and Alexander Dumas. Lastly cause this is a fun fact with me. I adored him so much that I knew we would get a adult version of him. Sure it was only as a NPC, but I still am hoping he is in game, I can summon him, and I can grail him to 100 as well. -Billy the kid lvl 90: He was the reason I got into the fgo and the fate series as a whole. No lie my other online friend came to me wanting me to get into fate. I said pretty much, "Tell me more about this fgo religion" And she showed me the april fools billy the kid, told me this was billy the kid, and my brain was like, "DO IT! GO INTO THIS HELL RIGHT NOW." But this was way before NA came out, and when it did I waited for Billy. Sad thing is when I rolled for him I kept getting Nightingale spooks. Funny enough I got him at the Fate/zero event along with Assassin Emiya. He was at NP 2 or 3, but since then he is now np5, and was my main Ace for dealing with most battles. As well as him making me realize I like a lot of Quick servants and play. -Tristian lvl 90: Okay this one is a weird one. I was rolling for Male Saber but Tristian came out. I was so mad I was going to burn him, but then I heard his voice and went, "......Oh....Fuck...he sounds really hot....Fuck. Can't burn him now." Then I used him, liked his skill set a lot, and he saved me in a lot of hard fights. Also as a guy who is also not over there first love ending horribly I related to him so well that I gave him grails. Also because of him coming on white day and it being a happy accident. I made it a thing every year on White day to roll a lot of SQ and see who would be my White day Servants. I did get Arthur next year, then Vlad, and Finally Achilles. I am hoping on 2023 to get Odysseus, cause he was the servant I wanted on my wishlist for years until this announcement in JP. -Shi Huang Di lvl 100: I will admit the reason I grailed Shi was for selfish reasons. No not battle reasons, but on the fact that they have no gender. I am attracted to people like that for some odd reason, Pixiv not helping, and the memes on the internet I rolled for them. I got Shi on my last ten pull and I wasted 600 sq on the ruler. They were worth it, and for a long time was my only ruler and I love my Emperor very much. I put all my fous, grails, and EXP into him, and in a hour I showed my friends I was serious on pumping Shi full of grails that I got a lot of Damns in the chat. He helped me out a lot and with my Merlin he is really strong. Hoping fgo gives them a outfit cause they deserve it. Servants I want to grail: (Can't mostly waiting for Adult Andersen to be a servant, then I will waste my grails.) -Yan: The chapter they are from made me like him a lot and the Archer there. Plus he is a Quick servant and has avoided me for years. I was able to get him from a 4 star ticket and after that he would spoke me. I like his lore, and how he is with masters. I know I will get a lot of people mad at me for saying this, but he is like a male Nightingale on the methods on making sure the master is okay. Also I like him so much that he is on np3 or np4, and I hope to np 5 him one day. -Marie Rider: She was the servant I kept going back to when going to the Wikipedia. I saw her design and knew. "Yup. She will be my favorite servant." Then I played NA and got her in a 10 pull with Siegfried. Since they came like that I saw it in my game that Siegfried was Marie's knight, and he pretty much was. She got me all the way to the last part of the Solomon fight, and it's my headcanon that she used her NP try to get me and Mashu out before we fall, failed, and saw Fou and what they really were. Also from another online friend who I follow on twitter told me a lot of facts about Marie and Sanson's life. She liked Sanson, read his dairies but one, and that's how she knows a lot of things. As well as her looking into other stuff as well. Which over all added to me liking her and feeling sad over finding out what happened to her kids. As well as more context to what Sanson did to Marie before her beheading, which was him cutting her hair, because he didn't want anyone to make her bald. Mostly because he knew her hair was one of her favorite things about her. As well as him knowing they will hurt her while doing it. So fought to cut her hair and made it short for her. I think Maire thanked him for being so gentle with cutting her hair, and I think that was the last time they spoke before she was killed. Still what fate did and the fandom did with Marie is nothing but amazing to me and I love the love and joy she gives to both masters and servants, and I hope one day we get the Marie Alter mommy we all want and deserve.
Mordred was my first 5 star; I've had her since 2017-12-20 which was about 2 weeks after I started. I probably played the game on and off during that time then I finally started to explore Fate and watch Apocrypha. Then it hit me "I have that Character!" Instant Favorite. Now I have her on level 120 grail grind and during that free ssr event I got my final copy for NP5. What a journey.
My grails were basically the "I just love this servant, and think they deserve more" + Atalante Alter - 104, Max fou'd, bond 12 - I just loved her since she appeared in Apoc. One of my favorites of all time. + Serenity - 100, 1.7k fou'd - Cutest assassin, lover her and Hassan's role on Camelot + Eresh - 100 - She just loved spooking me (3 times) when I was trying to summon Starry Nights CE for my Hot Wheel's + Hot Wheel's - Grand berserker in my heart, angy boy turned out to have one of the best (imo) personalities in game + Hokusai (Saber) - 90 - I just don't have her Foreigner version + Summer Yu - 90 - I didn't had her Assassin variant at the time Next in my list are (in no particular order) + Van Gogh + Asclepius + Cursed arm + Mash (when/if available) + Atalante (Archer) + Osakabehime (Assassin)
I only use my grails to bring up lower star servants up to standard levels 70 or 80, so i can always use every servant without having the feeling of handicapping myself by bringing a lower stat 1/2/3 stars.
I'll share my grailed servants since it seems a lot of people are. At 110 is Suzuka Gozen; she was my first 4 star servant through the tutorial summon, and her character designs are nice. The note that she doesn't like to use her skills because it heightens her thinking and gives her depressive withdrawls is also really funny. Then when I was able to play SERAPH and her interludes, she grew on me even further as someone that could totally kill you at any moment, but chooses not to because she has other (more silly) priorities. She's a killer unit for long term battles, and when I got my own Merlin for double wizard powers she excels. Too bad I haven't encountered that many situations where her long form combat style is needed. After that, I grailed Prototype Cu to 80 because up until Camelot I just used friend support Berserker Cu and Suzuka to clear everything. Then the first mission of Camelot bodied me so hard for a week that I spent a month just leveling servants because I realized that I need more than 2 servants leveled. And although I could have picked a better Cu, he was A lancer I happened to have not sold and went along with. But I feel I could have picked worse options so oh well. After that I grailed servants based on a mix of them being more powerful in my eyes, as well as them being really cute. Parvati was solid when Skadi came out, Tomoe was a powerful ST that could take care of most sabers, and Grey is really cute (but an AOE assassin is nice). Then while Farming for Castoria and summoning on the SERAPH banner just beforehand, I got Heracles. And even though I had cleared all the lostbelts, I knew I would want him maxed out. And I also had mad surplus of grails since I wasn't too worried about powering up servants, and a surplus of Embers for all classes I had stockpiled, I grailed Heracles, then Waver, then Kama. All of which were meta picks, but man are they useful. Maybe in the future I'll grail Castoria, Merlin, and Skadi (if I ever get her) to have all the casters rounded out. Maybe I'll also use Jeanne Archer because holy molely is she good for farming in **everything**. But I tend not to think abotu grailing because I already have done enough grinding for events and trying to level every servant I have is already enough of a handful after a while of playing.
Honestly, I love how pathetic the Kights of the Round Tablet were in S6. This was then at their worse, but the circumstance of human incineration coupled with the chanceof redemption made it understantable. All knights made the oppositive decision to thes actions in life due to their regrets.
my grails: Medea (106+)- love her character in stay night and ataraxia. I felt like a lot of servants in zero and stay night had a lot of "right my wrongs" in their wish so seeing her in UBW happy with soichirou and stating that her wish came true made me immediately go from "shes a stepping stone for archer and shirous relationship" to "oh shit wait she was actually a fleshed out character". Seeing her happy in ataraxia and today's menu only confirmed this truly being her wish and its a surprisingly wholesome end for a character whose name is practically synonymous with greek tragedy. Atalanta archer (100) + alter (90)- absolutely loved her involvement in apoc + her justified "cat" girl design. I love how she has such a potent flaw that she cant shake and her involvement in LB1 made me realize just how engraved it is in her. also her deathscene with achiles was a curse set by penth in achiles lifetime which is CRAZY as atalata was already dead by the time she cursed him. Circe (100)- aside from her involvement with medea she has a very likeable personality and I like how she went through an arc within chaldea with odyseus. she also has a very cute design and consistently walks the line between tsundere and yandere which I find cute Corday (100)- you summed her up perfectly, however I also had one additional reason: when I saw her suffer from Zeus' nanomachines I knew I had one goal: let her get the final blow on zeus. which I ended up doing thanks to her being lvl 100 Herc (90)- meta REGEND(80)- aside from, again, being linked to medea he was also a very cool challenge for saber and musashi. every time he walked on screen he felt like a final boss despite being just a nameless samurai jaguar warrior(80)- loved taiga, summer jaguar warrior when angra mainyu(80)- I had to see what that black grail looked like on a zero star. very worth.
I only started playing FGO early this year and I was a bit hesitant to grail anyone at first, but I do have a few servants I'm trying to get to level 100. The lowest is Hercules whose at 90 currently. I of grew up really liking Greek mythology because of stuff like the Disney version of Herc's tale and the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan being the main contributing factors, that and well....even close to 2,000/2,000 I wasn't really satisfied with how hard he was hitting things and figured using a few grails to level his attack up would help. Merlin is an odd one, because up till I started getting into Fate I didn't really care for him in any other media. But once the Vegas rerun happen I found out real quick that I love how he basically screws with everyone he interacts with and said love only grew when I finally got to Babylonia. Next is Castoria....I'll be honest, I know next to nothing about her because Lostbelt 6 hasn't translated yet. But from what I can tell from how she's portrayed in most fan comics, I can tell I'll really enjoy getting to find out more about her. Now here's the one that'll raise a few eyebrows- Jack. Before anyone asks, no she wasn't my first 5 star (that would be Mordred) nor was she my favorite servant Apocrypha or Fake/Strange Fake (I didn't even know about either of those two until after I started playing FGO). I just felt sympathetic for her because she just wanted to be loved by her mother and not abandoned, and it felt relatable because of my own mental health issues I was going through. Same thing sort of goes for Kagetora as well. For context, I started playing like two weeks before the Gudaguda 4 rerun and it was my first event so there is some biased about that. Though the more I played through the event and got to see more and more of her character, and how she puts on a smile in an attempt to understand others better and how most of her family held disdain for her because of how she couldn't understand emotions properly.......as someone whose on the autism spectrum and with painful childhood memories of how my family treated me growing up, she was so relatable it hurts.
I'm a fairly casual FGO player so I just haven't put the time/effort into getting my Servants to the point where they can even *be* Grailed, but there are two characters who have been given one each. Firstly, Shuten-Douji. It's her voice. 90% of it is just her voice. Her design overall ticks some boxes for me, and I like the way she interacts not only with the other characters from her own legend, but what she does in Chiyome's Interlude. I whaled for her, I Grailed for her, simple as. The other one is Archer Emiya, mostly because he's an OG character and he's a good farming unit. I also appreciate how he's generally just nice and supportive.
James Moriarty (Archer): Didn't think too much about him when he 1st came out on NA because I wanted to get Hessian Lobo at the time. Then I used him from friend support several times, and I grew to love him. After several attempt to get him. He finally came home on last years Chaldea boys event with 30 quartz. Needless to say that I leveled him up, his skills, and mana charge skill. Only thing I need to do is get him to bond 10. Loved his design, personality, and whatever story he's in regardless how much time he gets in them. It's a treat for me. With his buff around the corner next year, and hsi Ruler form the year after. I'm whaling for them until my wallet calls a hit out for me. Also the scene prior to fighting Sieg made me blush. Sigurd: Loved his design, and my 1st bond 10 sevant. His 1st skill though needs a star gather rate buff so it doesn't feel like a shot in the dark every time I use it.
My Grailed Units in chronological order: - Kiyohime Level 80: She alongside Zerkalot were my first ever servants that I HEAVILY relied on. In the past, I was extremely lonely, and I struggled to make friends or have anyone actually like me. So, when I got this clingy yandere dragon girl who was HEAVILY in love with my game character... that hit different for me. So since then, I used Kiyohime almost exclusively as my servant who was in every fight. Again, with Zerkalot backing her up, this was also when I didn't know what team comp was. I just threw berserkers at everything, and I hope I won. Even though my love for her isn't as strong as it used to be, I still have great memories of Kiyohime being super helpful. She's also one of my three servants that are at bond 10 and she's the only bond 10 who isn't a support servant. One day she will be level 100 but for right now, she will stay at level 80 since Yu Mei Ren level 120 takes a bigger priority. Now for the level 100s: Ryougi Shiki: When I first did her event, I knew nothing on her background or history. I then fell in love with her character, gameplay and how utterly broken she was (back then at least). Then that inspired me to check out her anime KNK and from there, she stole my heart. She currently is max fou'ed, max skill level, and level 100. I still use her as my rider slayer dps and HOLY FUCK even in this meta, Shiki still doing the numbers. She slew a Cerebus in 3t despite the boss having aa guts activate! She was and still is my favorite Type Moon protagonist. Musashi: Oh my fucking god, I adore this swordswoman. She's the reason why I gave a bigger shit on sword styles, as well as base one of my characters for dnd off the Book of Five Rings code. I also love her NP, it is one of the most badass noble phantasms ever. I'm so happy that she came home to me off a gssr. Which to me feels even more special since she told me after Shimousa she would come to see me. So in a weird meta foreshadowing moment she was right. Now I know that she meant for the later story bits but even still... it felt so special to me. When there's a lancer boss, I grab Musashi to throw hands. As an aside, I love when Fifth Force crits during her arts attack. That NP gain is just baller. Boudica: I feel like she is EXTREMELY slept on as a character. I absolutely love her character, design, tragic backstory, and her voice work. I fucking love her so much, she means a lot to me. She's why I even remember Septem. Boudica was the reason why I defended that chapter back then (nowadays I'm more angry over the fact, it screwed over nero). When she got her animnation update I POPPED OFF SO HARD! Boudica is my rider waifu now and forever. I also have a thing for red heads so that's also why I love her so damn much. Scathach: I am a proud Scathach simp and always will be. I've wanted her since the American singularity, she's my lancer waifu and I love her NP. It's just so fucking cool, I still laugh at how I got her. So, during New Years, I was rolling on her banner and got Lancelot saber the roll before her and before that I got NP2 Wu Zetian (more on Wu Zetian later as she plays a role for how I got Yang) THEN the next roll after I got Lancelot saber (aka the third roll). I got Scathach, I was so overjoyed she was finally home I hugged my phone. Her getting an event was such a big highlight for me since it made me feel more invested for the grail fronts. Plus, her getting a bunny outfit was also a great moment that Arcade couldn't claim as something exclusive to them. Yang: At first, I didn't really love her. But I rolled for her because her design caught my eye, so during my rolls I rolled Wu zetian for the first time. THEN RIGHT AFTER WU WAS YANG HERSELF. After getting Yang to bond 5 and absolutely falling for her. I then grailed her to level 100 asap. She sits as my only foreigner to get that privilege. I have used Yang for all my berserker boss fights since getting her and oml does she clean shop. Thanks to her the CQ for Gudaguda 4 was a literal cake walk. Every time I see Yang I smile warmly, because she is one of those servants I adore. Then learning her background made me fall for her even harder. She's this tragic heroine that didn't do anything wrong even then exist with beauty. I make it my mission to show Yang as her new emperor/master, i will treat her better than the last man who couldn't be loyal to her. Upon learning Wu Zetian is Yang's grandmother in law, made me laugh so fucking hard. Since then, I've warmed up to Wu Zetian, I treat her with respect but that's just me being civil to her. In any case, Yang is amazing, I love her, her np theme is godly, and she's a beast in combat. Gareth: Honestly, it was because of two people as to why she's grailed. One of them is a good friend of mine showing how POWERFUL a 120 Gareth could be. Said showcase was Gareth was slapping SURTR'S shit, then the other person was in fact Klidge! Watching Gareth solo the Rice Shogun from the Gilfest EQ was so cool to watch. So, seeing that made me want to grail Gareth and since then. Yup she was worth it, she is SUCH A BOSS and her having the older sister personality while being a cute girl is just amazing. Ira Lupus is just so fun to watch, and when I deployed her during a Scathach Grail Front she just slew everything despite having extrremely low HP. Gareth is my favorite of the Camelot knights just because she's an underdog and I love characters that look out of their league when they fight stronger foes but still win through sheer force of will. Praise be to Gareth, the best Camelot Knight. I'm extremely hype for her appearance in Lostbelt 6! Finally but not last, we have my ALL-TIME FAVORITE CHARACTER: *Yu Mei Ren* I feel like enough people don't give her the love she deserves. Yes she has her issues, but honestly? She just had a rough background. I really loved LB3 as Yu Mei Ren is my favorite character of the second arc. The story was cool, the moments for Yu were tragic and the Lostbelt King is pretty neat being one of the few who really isn't the bad guy or not extremely hostile to us out of the gate. In any case, I love Yu Mei Ren and seeing her be the focus for Summer 5 was a huge treat to me! Since it not only made her character way better for several people but showed her off in the way I knew she was. Just a big tsundere senpai. She will be my 1 of 2 servants to hit Level 120. The other being Morgan le Fay but for right now, Yu Mei Ren will be my Level 120 once I get the grails I need. I got Yu Mei Ren off this recent gssr alongside Beni Enma which made me so happy. Then once her rerun happened, I got her to level 100 then NP5'ed her. She's one of the few servants to be NP5 and the only one to be NP5 intentionally. I love and adore Yu Mei Ren, she's one of 4 servants in the FGO roster that I am not only in love with but also happy to call one of my goat servants. Her, Yang, Morgan and Mash are why I am still playing FGO. I love them so much all for different reasons, but to bring it back to Yu Mei Ren. She means the WORLD to me, I want to make her happy and I want to prove to others that she's actually a great character. And there you have it, my grailed servants and why. For the future though I plan on grailing more but here is some additions with a short reason: - Caenis: He is amazing, and I love his character during the lostbelt 5 chapters. I love his design, his background and his voice work. Plus seeing him get super concerned for Van Gogh and wonder if he should protect her is so fucking cute like oml. He acts all big and badass but really, I feel like he wants to prove himself to us. - Van Gogh: her design is great, her reasoning for being a gender bent is so fucking cool, her np theme is spooky, and the animation is beautifully creepy, and I LOVE HER NP VOICE LINES, THEY ARE SO GOOD LIKE HOLY SHIT - Reines: My favorite from Case Files, and I will grail her in the future when i get a chance. Plus watching her dunk on Waver but still love her adopted brother is peak sibling relationship and I am here for it. - Kiyohime: *See the Kiyohime entry* - Ushi: three reasons 1. I love my loyal rider dps who is just precious and a cutie 2. Klidge got me into loving her even more then I even did 3. Babylonia anime you know the last stand she did. It was so well done, and I LOVE IT
Hokusai (both versions) - She was my first lvl 100 in NA. The main reason why I grailed her at first was because of 36 Views Of MT Fuji, which absolutely captured me when I first saw it when she was released in NA four years ago and even now impresses me. As time went on, I got more bits about her personality and got the aspiration to be an artist myself, which caused me to love her more and grail her Saber version to 100 too when she got released in NA. Nobu (Zerker + Maou) - Just her fucking personality. I've always been a fan of chaotic personalities and Nobu is the perfect example of why I do so. She often acts as comic relief but still manages to be serious when the situation calls for it, and I like the whole thing with being the enemy of the Buddha, causing her to become an Avenger who personifies that. Pako's artstyle really sells her, and her animations are top tier. Maou Nobu may be a bit wack gameplay-wise at the moment but who fucking cares I love her to death. Karna - Just a bro. I haven't watched Apochrypha, but I've seen the Sieg vs Karna fight, and WOW does he look awesome in that moment. But aside from that, I just love how generous this man is. It just makes him so much more endearing. Punchout version is also really cool and will get grailed to 100 just like in JP when he comes out next month. Okita Alter (Saber) - I am a big fan of Kill La Kill and that third Ascension gives me hella vibes. She's also a cutie-patootie and is also a meta Quick looper as a bonus! Taira no Kagekiyo - I LOVE how her gameplay goes. I've always been a fan of solos and the stuff Taira can do in that department can get rather ridiculous, especially during lottofests like the one going on in JP right now where they can abuse the damage CE's Guts for more NP damage. I'm a bit eh about their personality, but their gameplay and animations managed to sell themselves so well she went straight to 100. Mandricardo - Fuck, man. He's just too relatable. Overthinking things, being awkward at social conversations, feeling like he doesn't belong... It just relates to me so much. He's a very nice guy, and his portrayal in Atlantis just made me like him even more. I'd really love to hang out with him. He's currently my first 120 target in JP. Da Vinci Lily - I'm tired of writing all this so I'll just say she's likeable and has good gameplay, which in my eyes is good enough for 100. Calamity Jane - Expressive as one can be, cool animations, great voice actress, what's not to love? She also got NP5 extremely easy during the Saber Wars II rerun, and I kinda took that as a sign. Elisabeth (Cinderella) - Fucking adorable, the fact she's near constantly singing, unique demerit-focused gameplay, good animations, I just love her a lot. I can't wait to read her event's story to see what she's about. Himiko - First SSR in JP, and wow did she do a lot for me. Unga bunga animations appealed to me a lot, attractive design, THE OC booster before Reines stole her job, Buster crits galore. 10/10 Paris - He's like the little brother I always would have loved but never had. His grudge against Achilles for killing his brother is very understandable, but outside of that he's a little bro I would always have liked to take care of. He's the one I get the most emotional over because of that. Paris is an adorable little kid that also happens to be assisted by Apollo in the form of a sheep and also carries a giant fucking gun. His gameplay is also very unique, rewarding buff removals for more NP damage, and generally being surprisingly tanky. But honestly, that's rather secondary to the emotional attachment I have to him.
Based tastes, especially for Mandricardo. Can totally relate with the overthinking and having the thoughts of I'm not good enough when hanging out with friends and thinking I'm the weakest link. That's extremely relatable and his relationship with Gudao is extremely well done. Even his overthinking schtick isnt annoying but are portrayed to be relatable and hilarious.
My first grailed servant was Tomoe Gozen on NA. First servant outside of the tutorial role, first archer, and carried me through all of the first arch of the game. Absolutely love her.
I just have a special feeling regarding tragic heroes. That's why I grailed Emiya, Muramasa and Bedi, they give the same vibe being humans/non heroic spirits. I still haven't decided the other servants I want to grail.
My Grailed Servants: - Okita (saber) [100]: She's my favorite servant in the game. I love both badass could kill you in a moment characters and cute and happy characters and she's a perfect mixture of both. - Eresh [100]: What can I say, I might be basic and like the best Rin face. Also she is adorable. - Kama [100]: Like I said, I'm basic and like the best Sakura face. Also she can step on me. - Musashi (saber) [100]: Honestly I've always liked Musashi but after reading Olympus I just needed to grail her. - Yang Guifei [100]: Remember what I said about Okita? I feel the same about HaoHao, she's so cute. - Qin Liangyu [90]: Her interlude made fall in love with her. - Medusa Lily [90]: She's best daughter and you should keep with the hood ascension. - Charlotte [80 (she'll get to 90 eventually)]: Klidge explained pretty well. Love Charlotte. Will Grail when they come on NA/I get more grails/I get the servant in question: - MHXA: Do I need to explain why Ecchan is precious. - Hokusai (Foreigner): First foreigner I saw in FGO and made me fall in love for the class. - Morgan: Cause otherwise my wife will kill me. - Summer Kama: I already love Kama, and her design is absolutely beautiful. - Ishtar: Have I mentioned How basic I am. - Muramasa: Don't know if this will change once I read LB6, but just with Shimousa I love his personality. There is some others I like but those are the main targets for the time being... Once coins can be exchanged for cups nothing will be able to stop me (?)
If we’re talking about servants that I have that I grailed, then Izo is my top pick. He is by far my favorite when it comes to design, voice, personality, history, and pretty much everything. Idk why but he’s everything that I love as a character. I also did some research and got some really interesting info which gives him a lot more depth. (Needs an interlude and a buff, stat)
I spread my grails out pretty evenly for the purpose of personal preference and utility. Nobody is above level 90 because after that you get diminishing returns. As for who I've grailed: Rama: I needed a strong single target saber Bedivere: Loved him in Camelot Emiya: Came in my tutorial roll and I've been relying on him ever since. He's NP4 so his NP hits hard! Robin: Poisoning the enemy and then blowing them up feels oh so good. Cu: I slept on this man for way too long and it was about time I gave him what he deserved. Lancer Raikou: Do You Love Your Mom and Her Multi Hit Buster Crits? Lancer Vlad: Wanted a reliable father-figure at the time and he stepped up Alexander: I think I lowkey want a son or little brother Ushiwakamaru: Only single target rider I had for awhile Rider Kintoki: Motorbike and Meta Sakamoto Ryouma: I STAN A MAN THAT LOVES HIS WIFE Mandricardo: MAI FRIENDO Hans: Slept on him and wanted to try using him on advanced content when I woke up Asclepius: I. NEED. HEALING. Carmilla: First 4 Star and it was about time I rewarded her for her work Heracles: BASAKA WA DARE NI MO MAKENAI SEKAI DE ICHIBAN TSUYOI DAKARA! Ruler Martha: Gotta make sure my religious education is high quality Hessian Lobos: I like big dogs and I cannot lie Ruler Astraea: Lovin' them arts crits
I never really payed too much attention to Xu Fu and just passed her off as a really good low rarity arts support, now that I’ve read her bond CE I absolutely love her just due to how much I relate to her. If you haven’t read it yet, do read it, it’s absolutely hilarious.
Euryale : saw how hard the Gawain fight would be but eventually she grew on me and is currently 106 ( soon 120) Seig : the reason I even got into fate Erice : love her design and personality Nightingale : she carried me through some of my fights and I just love her
I fully agree that Grailing should be done primarily out of love and secondary out of meta. I myself didn't use a lot of Grails, but the one I used were for personal affection: Lvl 100 - Artoria, Jeanne and Okita. I am a massive saber fan, have been one since I read original VN back in the day. Jeanne I love because of historical and religious significance as well and Okita grew on me since she was released but even more after Fate/Type Redline manga started coming out and I read more about Boshin War. Lvl 90 - Martha Rider, Martha Summer, Shiki Assassin. Martha because she really grew on me as dependable older sister as well as for religious reasons. Shiki Assassin I grailed after watching all KnK movies.
I've grailed a lot of Servants since launch, to the point that trying to list would be an effort and a half. Love plays a major part, of course, and that can stem from either appreciation like with the FSN 3-stars, Bunyan, Paracelsus... or from being a waifu, like Osakabehime, Tamamo, Astolfo, and so on. Plenty of both for many reasons!
Since my account is relatively new i'm kinda not giving Grails anywhere and everywhere, just got to Babylonia So my only Grailed servant is Suzuka Gozen at level 90, Because Fox Ears and Overall cute behavior RULE Although i have 6 grails right now, I just don't want to throw them left right and center, although i'm planning to grail Ushi because USHI, Hundred Faces because I love her design and everything about her, same with Boudica and William Tell and Robin Hood due to the same reason you grailed Touta, aka when i was young , these two were my fairy tale heroes I'd also love to grail Zenobia if i could get my hands on her when she comes to NA because where i grew up, we learned a lot about the legend of Zenobia and how she resisted the romans, and she's considered a folk hero as well as the only servant from my country so far sooo yeah
kind of a long list since I spread my grail far and I am a day 1 player. OG Abby lv 120: I really enjoyed the Salem chapter, and her character in general. her connection to the outer gods was the push I need to finally start looking into the works of Lovecraft Medea lv 100: I really enjoyed her portraits in caravel phantasm and hollow ataraxic. Voyager lv 100: I absolutely love his concept and he is a cinnamon roll. summer Abby lv 92 (current lv 100 target): for similar reasons for normal Abby plus I like her desire to try nd protect us from all the messed up stuff happening all around us. saber Liz lv 90: my first experience to the fate extended universe outside of stay night was Extella. and I absolutely loved her depiction in it, Lancer Liz was also my first 4 star when I started fgo, I decided to grail her saber form over her lancer form for game play reasons since I didn't have any good single target sabers at the time. Fujino lv 90: I have seen all of garden of sinners as well as read all the books, I enjoyed how her story played out and since I didn't grail shiki I decided to grail Fujino instead. Billy lv 90: I'm American I grew up on western media so I had to grail the outlaw. also his character in game and his role in lostbelt 1 really cemented him as one of my favored archers. Medusa Lily lv 90: I have always been really into Greek mythology so grailing medusa makes since, I want with Anna because of Babylonia her charicter arc was realy good and the face that she weilds Harp is really interesting to me. Sakamoto Ryoma lv 90: he is a really cool dude and I liked his portrayal here and in Gintama. Miyu lv 90: I absolutely love Miyu she is my favorite character in prisma Ilya for her story and her character development. Atalanta Alter lv 90: her descent into madness in Apocrypha and her role in lostbelt one were both amazing to watch. Macha Eli MK1 lv 90: I thought she was a really funny concept, and she was my only alter ego till the Seraph rerun this year. BB lv 90: even though I still have yet to play ccc from her actions in seraph, her actions in Hawaii and through her summer bond ce I have come to really love her as a character (also if I ever succeed in rolling her summer version I am taking her summer form to lv 100) Taiga lv 80: its taiga I had to, she isn't a waifu to me but she is a really fun character. Mata Hari lv 80: I grailed her origanlay because she was under rated but her role in Salem made me really like her character. Salieri lv 80: he was really cool in lostbelt 1 but I kind of regret this one since I had to choose between him and Lobo, and looking back I would have rather griled lobo. Hans lv 70: he's a cool guy de deserved the silver frame spartacus lv 70: he is a cool and funny dude the apocrypha event and lostbelt 3 really made me appreciate he character more. Angra Mainu lv 70: I have played hollow ateraxia and I lover his character and his legend, if not for the fact that I have other units I prioritized over him he would be a higher level by now.
Astraea: I absolutely love her, and she is an incredible four star. Being Suplex Mama on the side is just a nice bonus. Maou Nobu: Easy call; my favorite unexpected spook, possibly my favorite Servant in the game. The plan has always been to make her as strong as possible, so Grail to 100 (and 120 one day) was an easy call. And lastly, Ishtar: I admit that Eresh is a better Rinface, but my interest here isn't Rin-spired, so there's no issue there. Actually, Ishtar is the Servant that got me into FGO when I first saw her back in somewhat early NA. You see, I'm a massive fan of Inanna from Sumerian mythology, and naturally Ishtar as her Babylonian parallel stands in the same light. I know they're not quite the same, but it was enough for me.She's a strong Buster archer, she's served me very well over the years, and I don't regret a moment of it, or a Grail spent. --- For me, my last few jobs spent years grinding me down, eroding away my time and my health, and actually ended up sending me to the hospital three times, coming off the tail of my last one. So even though I've been on FGO for many years, there's a lot of content I got to very slowly, needed to catch up on, or missed entirely. And that's the main reason why I haven't spent more Grails; I'm indecisive, but I also just need the time to collect more, and time to consider my options. I've also Grailed Nagetora up to 90, and I plan to get her to 100 one day; she's just good, and fun, and I like her capabilities. And she also represents the period of my life where I was able to divorce myself from my toxic, nearly fatal workplace and start recovering, so she also stands a milestone to that. There's a lot of Servants I might choose if I had more Grails--Summer Carmilla, Scathach, Drake, Medusa, and many more. I know I'll Grail Caenis and Barghet one day if I can ever roll them, but otherwise my future plans for Servants I will 100% Grail are limited to... Beni-enma, I suppose.
Always nice to see other Ushiwaka enthusiasts. I have both versions of her maxed with grails and fous and started the long road to lvl 120 on Rider Ushi. Sadly my Summer Ushi has been stuck at np 4 ever since her first banner and I couldn't pull the last copy ever since. Instead I'm sitting on np 8 Summer Jeanne and.... I just hope my Tiara pulls are going to go better in January
Sharing my grailed characters: Gareth:Best knight girl Calligula:i really like his lore and how he's protayed as a tragic figure in fgo. His bond CE is one of my favorites Salieri:My favorite Avenger. Love his role in lostbelt 1 Paris:love his gimmick and he's cute Regend:Regend Georgios:Need i explain?
Since you asked, here are my Grailed Servants on NA. Herc Lv 100. Got him from my tutorial roll and he pretty much carried me through Part 1 so when I figured out how Grailing worked, he was the first to get some Grail love. Fran (Berserker) Lv 100. She was the best part of Fate Apoc for me and I literally cried when she died. My goal is to get to her to NP5. Fran (Saber) Lv 100. Same reason as her Berserker form but the fact that she just wants to chill in an air-conditioned room during summer speaks to me on a spiritual level. Also planning to get her to NP5. Cu (Lancer) Lv 80. Best Doggo, loved him in the UBW Anime and I get a hoot whenever he appears in events. Hans Lv 70. I had shit luck trying to get any Support Casters so Hans was there to fill that void and I grailed him as a reward for his loyal service. Paul Bunyan Lv 70. Admittedly the only Servant I grailed for "meta" reasons because her NP is really short and I had lotto boxes to farm at the time.
I just love the concept of a characters that meant to be a wall that the mc needs to pass or a character that shows how strong other characters are and in Fate I found every single solo servants to be just that, so I grailed them to 100
Wah! So much respect for you my dude✨ I have most of the servants you mentioned in here already grailed and some of them are in the lvl100 process, i also have so many others on my list for future "grailing treatment" haha. So, i have most of my welfares on lvl90, some of them i want them on lvl100, but i guess I'll wait for the grail casting system. Waiting for Taira to take her to lvl100, i already have 10 grails for her and to finish my Ushi, who will be my second lvl100❤️✨
Tomoe Gozen: My first grail, and let me tell you.. I wasn't at all interested in her at first. He animations were middling, her kit was middling, but I did kind of like her art. Then Setsubun happened and instead of being just an average servant to me, she rocketed to "I will help you reach your goal no matter the cost." She ended up being my first lvl100 2000/2000 servant. Hokusai (Both Saber and Foreigner): I adore her country gal mixed with lewd painter persona on top of having great looking ascensions and animations. With her foreigner valentines scene being up their of my favorites as you just hang out with while she paints being a entirely wholesome encounter. Tamamo no mae: Its really just because I love her looks, but she has been great in the media she's been in (I may or may not have used her a lot in Extella)
My Grailed servant Ushi - FGO babylonia anime and because she deserves all the head pats Emiya - Garcher, just Garcher Hans - Regret Grail, just 1 before I knew what grailing is. At least he doesn't have a bronze border now Van Gogh - She is cute, her event gave her a tragic backstory and she is ridicously fun to play
My grailed servants: 1. Gil (Archer & Caster) lv 100, with Dantes my no.1 favorite servant 2. Enkidu lv 100, just best clay 3. Dantes (currently) lv 115, love at first sight, always loved the count of Monte Christo, my favorite design, personality, he's just perfect. 4. Da Vinci Caster lv 100 (after avoiding me for years I swore if I got her in 1 10 shot I will grail her to 100) 5. Shiki Assassin lv 90, first welfare, loved her personality & design 6. Asagami Fujino, became a big knk Fan after the Shiki Event 7. Melt Lancer lv 90, her 5 Star keeps avoiding me and she's My favorite Sakura face. Also pengu 8. Lancelot Saber lv 90, fav knight of the round table, love his story and design 9. Asclepius lv 90, love his design, lore, personality, and he's really strong 10. Gray lv 90, best daughter in case Files 11. Charles Henri Sanson lv 80, GIVE HIM A BUFF ALREADY. He's so weak but I fell in love with his design, especially that FA. I'm a sucker for white haired guys. And the voice acting! My second grailed servant ever Future targets: Douman lv 100. With Gil and Dantes just an EX tier husbando, been waiting for this clown since Shimousa Ruler Moriarty lv 100, Archer keeps avoiding me and now there's a younger sexier version
For your love of Billy, I would suggest you to go on FGO's subreddit and search for the Fate/Invitational. It's collaborative Holy Grail War story made by 8 people, 7 playing each Masters and 1 managing them. The story has been pretty good so far, and it features Billy as the Archer. And oh boy seeing him pulling strings in the entire town's underworld while his Master has no idea is absolutely hilarious. It also has Mordred, if you need more convincing.
-nero (4*, bride and summer) - she got me on fate extra, plot and design. (waifu) -nobu (4*, summer and maou) - the reason for me playing fgo, funny af, badass, love her design (waifu) -semiramis - apocrypha moment -kiara - hot nun -francis drake - i watched one piece -molay - her np
My grailed units would be Jalter - Jeanne was my first waifu in fate, loved her in apoc, then i learned about her altered version so yep, I fell in love with the cute goth tsundere, her cute competitive relationship between her and salter in shinjuku just made me love her even more! Not to mention her super hot doujins ehem. Jeanne - Loved her in apoc, and orleans. Her interludes made me love her even more! The reason i started playing fgo, i even re rolled for her in sei shonagons event. Carried me throughout the lostbelts, and stalled the fuck out of wodime in olympus with the help of merlin and mash. Summer Kiara - Always had a thing for lewd nuns, and to mention her lewd police outfit. She is my most used looper to date, but damn.. 800 quartz for 1 copy huh? Mandricado - Loved him in atlantis being such an awkward guy. He has such a "Dude" personality and i roll with it. Ushi (Rider) - Deserves all the headpats, that is all. Luvia - Suplex me please. Spooked me first before i got jeanne during my re-rolls lmao, i didnt even know that she was part of the permanent pool that time since i was just new to the game, the first time i got genuinely pissed by a spook. Carried the fuck out of my ass throughout the lostbelts. Chen Gong - Gong memes heh sorry waver nothing personal. Plus i want the big damage because me monkey brain, neuron activation when see big damage. Taira (Future grail) - Seeing her np is so satisfying, call it basic with the sword slash and delayed flashiness but fuck it feels satisfying, imo its the best among all of the cliche katana slash np's. Also ushi face, and her personality, she may be a little bit edgy but she still has her ushiness we all know and love. She needs more headpats asap! and to anyone else rolling for her, good luck! May we all get her in 1 ticket!
Me casually offered all of my grails to Jeanne Ruler because she always turn the most impossible scenario to become possible during the hardest and hopeless challenge quests countless times for years , she's not the best, but according to me, she's perfect.
Here's my current Grailed servants on NA: Level 102 Miyamoto Musashi (Saber): I started playing when Shimousa released in NA, and the very first non-tutorial banner I rolled was hers, and she showed up in two summon tickets on a Rainbow. At that point, I just considered her my good luck charm and eventually fell in love with her as a character in her story appearances. I’m eventually planning to 120 her. She just resonates for me with fond memories of starting out the game. Level 100 Miyamoto Musashi (Berserker): I already love Musashi as a character and once I got her Zerker form and she had a hilarious reason for her existence, I knew she had to get Grails too. Maybe with 5 of them she'll have enough containers to make rice in. Level 100 Iskandar: He is the entire reason I discovered Fate. I saw art of him online, and as someone who likes big bara types, I had to know where he came from, and he ended up being the third SSR I ever got in the game. Level 100 Voyager: He is precious and my son and I will protect him. But seriously I love his lore and design and on both my JP and NA accounts he showed up 3 times back to back while I summoned on his banner, so I felt it only right to give him Grails. Level 100 Van Gogh: Vincent Van Gogh is my all time favorite painter. His artwork is so captivating and otherworldly, and even when I was young I always found myself drawn to his pieces of art when I'd see them in books and the like. The episode of Doctor Who featuring him is literally my all time favorite episode of the show, so much so that I ended up buying an official print of the Starry Night-like Exploding TARDIS that's supposed to be painted by him and framing it in a huge fancy frame in my living room. Clytie is a figure I knew almost nothing about until I actually watched your video on *why* she and Vincent are fused and it blew my mind to realize the cleverness in their Servant design. Plus, once Imaginary Scramble came out - I just absolutely fell in love with Van Gogh's personality in the event - it was already not a question that I was going to Grail her to 100 before that, but that just really backed up my choice to do so. Level 100 Sherlock Holmes: I’ve just always been a huge fan of the Holmes stories by Conan Doyle and the various adaptations of him, so I promised if I ever got him, I’d grail him to 100. Level 100 Space Ishtar: This was half for gameplay reasons for easier looping, and half because I really love Space Ishtar’s design. Lesser Grails - Level 90 Parvati: I just like Sakura and I think Parvati’s design is very on point. Level 80 Antoni Salieri: Salieri's life and supposed confession to the murder of Mozart have fascinated me ever since I watched Amadeus. His character in Lostbelt 1 was so interesting and subsequently tortured by regret that I came to sympathize with him. Plus him shredding a piano to Dies Irae while you fight Ivan was absolutely top notch - so he absolutely deserved to get a Gold Card for that alone.
For grailed, I have MHX Alter- I just think she is cute, and also she was my first 5☆ so I have a bit of loyalty for her and she did have a big help in the Gawain difficulty spike in Camelot Xiang Yu- Meta reasons he's a really goos crit monkey, plus he looks sick as hell Mandricardo- Probably my personal favorite servant, I love his underdog story and how the game tends to portray him as way stronger and more capable than he thinks himself to be, which is endearing af to me Fuuma Kotarou- Just recently grailed him like yesterday, also personal reasons I just love his design and story, he is such a good boy Jinako- She is #1 waifu status for me idc how "lame" she is I just love her
I’m so happy to see Abby on this list since she was my first 5 star. This was back before I’d finished part 1 of the story and she was also my first servant to bond rank 10
we've got five main grailed servants rn. Spartacus hit that sweet spot when we were first playing of being a berserker that didn't explode as soon as a stiff wind blew past, and he was good at farming too. he saved our ass repeatedly in Camelot and the Demonic Front. guy just won't die. plus, oppression sucks, Spartacus rules. Asterios was a late addition, but one of us empathizes with his difficulty communicating and also holy hell we had been sleeping on his noble phantasm it is so freaking strong. 100 personas is good, they deserve some love. also giving them 100 levels means there's one per persona now! Geronimo is a really understated character, and I swear if his kit wasn't atrocious he'd be way more popular. he deserves a rework, dammit. all of the previous servants are level 100, but Kingprotea won a competition we held to see who'd we take to 120 first, so she's currently sitting at 108. she big. it really doesn't get less complicated than that. we also have some servants who are grailed but not past 100 like Raikou, Bunyan, Billy, Cu, and Cursed Arm. Also Andersen, who is the only servant I really regret grailing. Not that he doesn't deserve it, but he's a support, he doesn't really need the extra stats.
I only grailed units I like but I also went into grailing with a rule, only one from each class to start with. Right now Arash, Summer Nitocris, Arthur, Lakshmi Bai, Diarmuid, Egyptian Dio, Sheba, and Caligula are at lvl 100. Angry Banana is on his way up but I need 2 more grails to get him to 100.
Though i only started recently in NA, i got a few servants grailed allready. -Caesar: i grailed him mostly because hes currently the only fat guy i know in fgo, but who isnt joked about too much his weight (unless you count his own remarks that it is the form is love). He's a complete goof and greedy man, but hes pretty straight forward with his money schemes (i.e nightinggale xmas event), and still strives to have a happy family with cleopatra. -Babbage: alongside agreeing what Klidhe had said in the video, i just love his steam mech design. Im kinda sad that he dosent hit as hard as Himiko or Hijikata do, unless you buff him, but just seeing him in the battlefield is sometimes enough for me. Alongside his mannerisms, hes a servant whom wishes to see a brighter and intellectual tomorrow, which you gotta appriciate. Likely servants for me to grail: -Himiko: pretty much fan love (Her story made me tear up abit) and her event was my first to ever join. She's literally my power house. -Hijikata: another powerhouse, and his character is somewhat understandable to me (and cant really go wrong with a guy who likes eating pickled goods), and overall a solid servant for me.
My grailed servants Jalter: I've liked her character from the start Meltliyits: As someone who saw the play though of CCC this lovely swan play style is fun Passionlip: I love how sweet and sassy she is like her sis BB: JUST BB Mori: Fun when I use this mad lad Izo: Same as you kildge Ushi: Giving her headpats are fun Charlotte Carday: Fun and a sweetheart getting her to 100 is one of my missions Kama: Giving her love is fun Gareth: Getting on the same lv as her fellow knight's has been great Qin Lingnau: A play style that's rarely used and tanky servant Nitocris: High tier wifu
I tried a strat on goetia with Asterios once and it was very interesting (even tho it didn't work lmao) so i grailed him. So i basically grail servants who i like and/or make me happy. And i have no regrets
I wanna share my Grailed Servants too since the other two chaps did and I like seeing variations of people's reasonings for why they Grail who they Grail. And as a JP player who has been around since E Pluribus Unum first dropped, I _had_ a lot of Grails to use. Angra Mainyu - I've been in love with his design and personality ever since I first read Hollow Ataraxia, and have made a point to always have him in story battles as the very last line of defense, even though he's almost entirely worthless (though I'll never forget finishing off Ruler Jalter in Orleans using him). Cursed Arm Hassan - I'm a massive fan of the Hashashin characters cuz of edgy skull motifs and Cursed Arm's hilariously polite and dutiful personality when he's not on the job. He's probably the first Servant I ever Grailed and is always one of the first Assassins I put on the front lines. Okada Izou - Same reason as Klidge, fell in love with his story and personality, especially after his Valentine event. And his second ascension is so sick. Ryougi Shiki - Badass knife wife, and I have a strong affinity for her story in Kara no Kyoukai. Sieg - I love him, even in Apocrypha. Yeah he's got the personality of cardboard in the anime but I still liked him, even more so as a Servant. Saber Alter - My favorite variation of Saber and god damn it, she hits like a truck. Antonio Salieri - The first Servant I grailed to a fat and chunky level 100, and also the first Servant I ever maxed out the active skill levels of, because I'm a sucker for Avengers and his design speaks to me. Arjuna - I don't remember why I Grailed him honestly but I do like Arjuna a fair bit. Jalter - I like her a lot, but the main reason I grailed her was for that thicc damage. Oberon - The second Servant I ever grailed to 100 and the only one I grailed higher, sitting at a nice 102. I have no way of describing how much I love him without going into an entire essay. I also hate him because this bastard is the reason I, for the first time in playing FGO, ever ran out of QP, because he ate it all up while I was grailing and maxing his active skills. Ushiwakamaru - Same reason as Klidge, down to the wording Barghest - THICC. BRICC. DOG. KNIGHT. ONEE-SAN. Mysterious Heroine XX - I love mechas. Mash - Does.. does she count? I don't even think I grailed her myself, I'm pretty sure that was a game thing that just happens in the story. Bedivere - Exact same reason as Klidge Chloe Einzbern - I genuinely don't remember grailing her, I'm kind of sus Caenis - Tomboy supremacy. Boudica - I love her. I have no reason other than I love her. Medusa (Rider) - The snek with the legg. Gilgamesh (Caster) - If I can't fucking have Archer Gilgamesh then I sure as shit will make sure my NP5 Caster version gets pampered. Avicebron - GoLEm Penthesilea - Abs for days. Gareth - I love her. She protecc, but also attack. And also, as a Monster Hunter player, her gunlance makes me very happy. Jaguarman - Taiga is best girl and I'm eternally furious she had no route. Cu Chulainn (Lancer and Caster) - I love him, but grailing him is also a sound strategy because he's got a damn good kit in both forms. Asclepius - I.. I really needed a healer. Hundred Face Hassan - Same reason as Cursed Arm, with added abs. Sasaki Kojiro - Dragons are just larger swallows. Nobukatsu - He's a good boy. Confused, but he's got spirit. Phantom of the Opera - Don't judge me, I swear it seemed like a good idea at the time!
Well I am a new player so I only have one servant grailed, its Karna, I love his history, how nice and badass he is, and man the myths, his legend is simply awesome, he is like the ideal friend to have.
Servants I have grailed: Jalter/Summer version - The reason I began playing the game, I enjoy this character archetype somewhat and I was very lucky to get them on my first 10 pull. And I got the summer version later and I adored using them. Herc - my first 4 star that took me very far, I loved using him and I felt it was only right to give a few grails to a servant that has saved my ass on so many occasions. Bedivere - dudes and gals in armor will always be top tier in my mind. Servants I want to grail in future: Barghest - read Bedivere reasoning again. Koyanskaya (both dark and light) - A character I really liked in story and was really excited to see as a unit. Also give us the lostbelt outfits as costumes please. Oberon - after reading LB6 he's one of my absolute favorite characters and I think his design is really cool.
My first Grail was Kojiro. He is tied with Lancer for Best Boi in OG Fate. I Grailed him because for the longest time, I had no 4* Assassins, and when I finally did pull one, it was someone I have never heard of in my life and is the lowest ranking 4-5* servant on the gamepress tier list. Then I gave him another Grail. He is almost always in my back row as a CE holder if I'm not using him. I put one into Ozymandias. When I first pulled him, I was like "who tf is this normie human dude??" But he won me over in voice, grandeur, gameplay, and in Camelot, where he is tied for Best Boi with Arash, who also got a Grail. I put one Grail into Caster Gilgamesh, who is the best character in Babylonia. I started using Xiang Yu because I pulled two copies of him. Now he is one of my favorite characters, purely for gameplay reasons. I have no idea who he is or what he's done outside of the tidbits I learned from this pas summer event. He is sitting at level 96 currently. And Saber Astolfo is sitting at level 102. I love him because he is everything I wish I was but am not.
oh god my grails, paris, my son okita alter, first 5 star love her personality, amazing design, best girl fight me davinki mini, my daughter martha, carried me and i love her design kagetora, NYAAAAAAA izo, same as you klidge chen gong, i love ruthless tactics
Since we're sharing our own Grailed Families, I might as well share mine by Class. 1. Saber: Nero Bride (100). I'll be honest, she saved my butt early on with how my account at the time of Valentine's 1 and I appreciate how flexible she is. I still bring her along once in a while. 2. Lancer: Li Shuwen (90). This man ended up being my MVP of Shinjuku come the final fight with Moriarty and earned his Grails. Now I have him NP5, so I may consider pushing to 100 at some point. 3. Archer: Tristan (90). I was stuck between grailing him or David, but after a short test, I found Tristan to be the more fun of the two to use. Plus his character development also helped in solidifying the two Grails he earned. 4. Rider: Ushiwakamaru (90). Similar answer to what you provided, but more out of respect for Ushi over the course of time. 5a. Caster: Gilgamesh (90). Somewhat for gameplay purposes, as getting him to NP5 during Christmas 3 and coming in clutch during the first two fights with Megalos certainly helped in returning those two Grails to him. Paying forward for Babylonia, you could say. 5b. Caster: Asclepius (80). At first it was for gameplay purposes, but I came to enjoy his character growth and following Interlude. He may be a mad scientist deep down as his Valentine's scene showed, but the doc does care. 6. Assassin: Charlotte (100). The moment I saw her appearance and hearing her voice, she captured my attention. I waited patiently as I learned more of her personality and as soon as she came to NA, I knew what had to be done. Atlantis further cemented my choice to push her to 100 and wanted to cry at *that* scene. Also getting to learn a bit more of her life in the process was great and her Valentine's scene was heartwarming. 7. Berserker: Beowulf (100). This bro has not only been with me since the early days of my account, but has come in clutch more than enough times to warrant his Grails. If I didn't have other targets coming down the pipe, I would have considered pushing Beowulf to 120. 8. Avenger: Edmond Dantes (100). Loved his design when I first saw it. It's also cool how he's actually a fairly chill dude, despite his rough exterior. Plus the time he did get during Summer 3 put a shine on a more goofy side he ain't afraid to bust out once in a while. 9. Ruler: Sherlock Holmes (100). Part gameplay, part enjoying his personality and mystery surrounding him. Simple as that. 10. Alter Ego: Passionlip (100). Truth be told, Lip took a while to solidify as one of my favorites in this game. But after I did warm up to her, I found her to be endearing and wanting all of the hugs and headpats she can get. Plus her pulling through in tougher battles really helped as well. 11. Foreigner: Abagail Williams (100). The Eldritch pancake daugher deserves to be treated like family, despite her mistakes. Plus her development and struggling with her identity makes for an interesting dynamic. This was also part of a promise I made to a friend after she lost her first account, but that's another story for another time.
My Grailed Servants Bedivere - Through an unbelievable stroke of luck, he was actually my first Servant to reach NP5, with me getting 8 copies on the Saber Wars banner. But then, he just kept bursting every Zerk or Lancer boss I encountered. So I grailed him to 80. Then, Camelot happened. After that, he got upped to 100. Sadly, I can only get him to 104 with how the Coins work. Paris - I'll be honest, I grailed him to 80 for kicks. Then he started dishing out hilariously large numbers with his NP, so 100 it is. XX - I was already in love with the Servantverse Servants, and with her being a big Tokusatsu reference, along with her personality, made me fall for her. She would already be 100 if it wasn't for the next one... Stheno - I grailed her to 90 out of boredom. Then I made stupid bet that I'll Grail her to 100 of I ever get a rateup SSR. Then... I got Van Gogh. Kagetora - I immediately fell for her during her event. I didn't care that I didn't have any decent Arts supports at the time, she was getting raised to 100 one way or another. Atalante - I'll be honest, this was just to make farming easier. Atalante Alter - Her Valentine's scene made me use a Grail on her. Summer Jalter - She was my first Bond 10, and she has clutched every boss when my front line gets wiped out. Ushi - Ushi.
My Grailed Servants on NA Bedivere - Of course Best boyo who i enjoyed due to his story and the way he smacks people with his prosthetic is fun Arthur - His way of being the only Servant alone to go on a quest to deal with a beast is quite amazing Lancelot (Saber) - Too bad his son isnt in his game the reason i put him here is because of how he kept the fact he betrayed the Lion King at the start and saving all the people Gawain was trying to dispose. Gawain - His voice is so cool but also loved how he was all calm in Fate Extra Tristan - He was the only person to Understand bedivere and be friends with him that i would ship him with Bedivere anytime. Voyager - Despite the fact he is a space satellite in lore he is the cutest little chibi boyo with such a big smile. In the future the following Servants will get Grailed when they come out Percival - He is like a big brother and i would ask to protect me Muramasa - Gramps with swords who wouldnt want the red hair shirou emiya with the coolest sword ever Perseus - If He will come to the Game with Prototype Collab and i want to see how they design his multiple NPs Galahad Alter - If they bring more Fate Requiem stuff and besides that he seems to have some interesting NP installed Lucius Longinus - Same as above with the Fate requiem and he is like that one guy who seems to be that fatherly figure despite the fact that spear of his is strong.
Mine were Gilgamesh - cause he's got and I love the 'How dare you look down upon yourself, I have seemed you worthy of my praise and you will treat yourself as such mongrel!' outlook, Chu Chulainn (lancer)- not only for the meta but I love my blue bomber bro, and finally Jason- I love the incompetence up until his back is against the wall and from a meta angle he's a great farmer and support

What I grailed : Carmilla because I love her
What i swear I didn’t grail : some weird pink fox
I have two types of Grails:
1) The "I like this servant a lot and want them at 100 simply for love."
2) The "They got an Animation Update so the least I can do is put them at lvl 80 for that golden border."
I'm glad someone else has a grailed child without weird and impure thoughts in mind. Thank you.
Love, Jack's Mom.
My Grailed Servants.
Hercules - I love his character. Always been interested in his lore. Played a role in my childhood when I used to read books about him.
Summer BB - Waifu and love her CCC.
Abby - Interested in HP Lovecraft mythos. Abby characteristics. Adorable and love pancakes myself.
Dioscrui Twins - Their interaction and synergy with each other. Characteristic wise. Loved them in LB5. Love their VA.
Kama - Long story short. I'm a sucker for her and a Sakura fan.
A fellow Sakura fan. We're an endangered species.
@@Kohai-Connoisseur Indeed. I'm not one of the "weird" ones, you find on Twitter.
@@AyoCoffeeSamaHow weird are they usually?
I used to avoid grailing characters because I don't care for meta BS. But this video gave me a different perspective on it and now I'm getting ready to grail some characters. I'm gonna start with my mainstays Astrea, Bedivre and Robin Hood and go from there.
7:45 AYO!? - But yeah the aspect that she is probably the most emotionally vulnerable and humble servants out there just makes her deserve all the grails thrown at her
I might as well share my grailed picks since the other guy also listed it:
Iskandar (120) & Waver (100) - These two come as a pair since I really loved their dynamic and it's still a breath of fresh air seeing a hero being a mentor an inspiration for their master.
Charlotte (Caster - 120, Assassin - 114) - Loved how much of an underdog she is as a servant and her voice is just music to my ears. Also her journey from self-hatred to learning to love herself more (via her summer version) was something that speaks quite personally for me.
Other reasons:
Saber Artoria (100) - She started to spook me a lot so I felt bad for not grailing her
Kerry (100) - I thought it was funny to feed him grails.
Grand Servants (Orion, Romulus, First Hassan are all 100) - I really liked the concept of Grand Servants and grailing them all as a squad together was a cool goal I wanted to work on over time.
I was expecting and kinda hoping for others to do this too, pretty fun stuff.
Mixed feelings what you said about the best waifu archetype of them all aka ojou-samas but I'll still approve a grailed Luvia regardless 🤝
obligatory grail list here:
lvl 100 dantès - my favorite avenger by far, and the count of monte cristo's an amazing story. his fate portrayal, while edgy, is just how i'd imagine him to be like.
lvl 100 izou - similar reason as yours! i live for the murder hobo vibe. but also, his tragic story genuinely had me feeling for him.
lvl 100 mori - not much of a surprise, considering my pfp. but i love his fierce (and i mean, FIERCE) loyalty and very chaotic energy. can't wait to get ranmaru home!
lvl 100 mandricardo - i relate to him a lot. his struggle to socialize, his anxiety and constant self-doubt eating him up alive. lb5 was such an enjoyable read with him around and i was left sobbing. 1000/10 goodest boi.
lvl 100 ashwatthama - i love the tragedy of his story as well as his design. he was no gameplay grail at all, but i can't deny how hard he hits with some more extra investment.
lvl 100 saitou - probably my favorite servant there is. i love his personality, his gameplay, his story, his animations, his voice, just everything about him. i could ramble on forever! definitely a lvl 120 candidate!
lvl 80 Bediviere - love him. such a tragic but loyal character, i just adore him. but i ran out of grails fast.
lvl 80 salieri - my second favorite extra class servant. again, i ran out of grails. but i love his design and lore.
lvl 80 andersen - always carried me way before my waver days, and i love his tragedy and snarky personality.
lvl 80 robin hood - my first grailed character ever. love this guy a lot, always carried me through my early fgo days (when he could).
if i had more grails, they'd all be lvl 100! and i still have a big backlog of characters i would love to grail.
why, yes, i'm a husbando collector. how could you tell?
I grailed both my Musashis. The reason I did is a bit of a story so bear with me. I lived in Japan from 1984-2004. While there I became obsessed with samurai. Because of that I started studying Gosho-ha Hyoho Niten Ichi Ryu under Yoshimochi Kiyoshi, (Gosho-ha represents Yoshimochi's family branch of Hyoho Niten Ichi Ryu) who hadn't yet been named as the 12th successor to the school. I don't consider myself a descendant disciple of Musashi, but I did study his style quite extensively. My teacher passed away in January of 2020, and in March of 2020 I got my first copy of saber Musashi on a single summon ticket on JP. I was already determined to grail her at that point. This year on NA I pulled the summer variant and decided to grail her as well. I grailed Ushiwakamaru because I loved the stories I heard and read about in school, and I love her. (I rolled on Kagekiyo because she's an Ushi face, I didn't even care if she was good or not) I grailed Tomoe Gozen both archer and saber, because I love her design in general. I want to grail Izo, but I'm hoping against hope that we'll get Kawakimi Gensai (another of the 4 hitokiri), so I'm waiting so I can grail them both.
Great backstory I love it very interesting
Ah Mordred the true baeber of fate. Once she showed up in fate apocrypha she immediately caught my eye, her design, her personality, her fighting style, and how she shows as the beast that she was in apocrypha.
I grail servants for either gameplay/strengthening purposes, or because I really like their character/history, or both.
Notable ones include:
-Corday at Lvl. 70 (underrated badass in history, also adorable)
-d'Eon at Lvl. 90 (another badass, but also intriguing story)
-Sanson at Lvl. 80 (I'm one of the 13 Sanson fans out there, and I find his irl history and experiences incredibly fascinating)
-Liangyu at Lvl. 94 on her way to 100 (super-badass historical figure and I love her)
-Salieri at Lvl. 94 on his way to 100+ (Probably my single favorite character in Fate. I love this man with my heart and soul, and his history is compelling to me. Everything about him I adore)
Might as well share my grails too:
Summer Jalter - Literally the reason I started playing FGO. I loved her in Summer 3, and she carried me thru everything pretty much. Plus she was my first Bond 10 so it felt only natural to Grail her to 100
Eresh - My first SSR, and god she’s just so cute. I absolutely adore her and when Summer Eresh comes out you better believe I’m whaling and grailing her too.
Summer Musashi - Someone I’ve wanted ever since starting. Arts Looper plus it’s Musashi, and I do love Musashi.
Summer Melt - 🐧. That is all.
Scáthath - Initially done on a whim but I’ve really come to appreciate her now. Worth it.
My Grailed Servants
Edmond Dantes - His story was very interessting for me and when I once went to look up
what his FGO Abilities are in terms of lore, I was flabbergasted by how awesome they were.
Scathach - I don't remember when I started seeing art of her, but at some point, I started to look her up
and came upon FGO that way. It was also then that I realiszed I had read about her in a Fate-Fanfiction
before she even existed in FGO (Nerve Damage) and that was another push for me to get into FGO.
Also, getting her was probably the hardest I ever had to spend in early FGO for a Servant.
Qin Shi Huang - The best Lostbelt-King hands down. I like Morgan more now that she is out,
but she has way more time do develop in her story, as LB6 is MUCH longer.
What made me ultimately decide: "Yep, he gets Grails", is the ending of LB3,
where we fight him and upon losing he still agrees to help us out and admits to his own mistakes.
Kama - I mostly picked her for gameplay-reasons, but I do like how all her Ascensions are very diffrent,
both in art and animation-wise. Other than that, she is pretty hot i guess?
My grailed servants are:
Brynhildr (both versions) and Sigurd 100: Bryn was my 2nd ever SSR and my first gold Lancer. At first, I liked her gameplay and design. Then I got curious and read her lore, cried and instantly went to grail. Then, I found out about Sigurd being in the game on JP, looked him up and instantly fell in love with his design and animations. Then I read his bond lines, looked up his lore and began to appreciate him as a character. I then decided that these 2 would be equals. Til death do them part.
Anastasia 100: I initially grailed her cuz the disease her brother suffered was used to help me understand my dad's condition. Then I read her interlude and instantly the grails we're worth it. I simp hard for this girl.
Kojiro 100: love his gameplay and the way he's interpreted in Fate is infinitely fascinating to me.
Jalter 100: first SSR and LITERALLY CARRIED ME through all of arc 1, plus is the reason why I love Avengers, so it's only fair.
Mori 90: I love everything about him. Absolute loyalty incarnate and consider him my son. (Ranmaru will also be grailed and become my daughter)
Both Lancelots 90: is the reason why I love the Round Table. His tragic story is so endearing to me and Knight of Owner is my favorite conceptual NP.
William Tell 90: read LB 4 and his interlude. Got hit in the feels, reminds me of Big Boss (and being a huge MGS fan), enough said.
Bedivere 80: was so impressed with how he was handled in Camelot that I was compelled. Good boy.
Caligula 80: Loved him even before Olympus, but that certainly helped. The way he stays committed on his path, regardless of the atrocities he committed and demanding to not be forgiven is something that left me speechless. One of the true examples of what a Berserker can be.
I see....A regend enjoyer as well. Noiceee
Super Orion- did it for the Meta
But than i got to know him,he's just a fun goofy boy whome I'd love to make friends with if he was real, he has a charming personality and he never fails to make me laugh, I love his dynamic with Artemis no matter how many shenanigans he does he still truly loves Artemis and he has kinda a tragic story
Besides I'm a body builder
Spisthar-Rin best girl, Ishthar best girl,Asthrate tragic but best girl,
Meta girl
And I'm Hording Grails for Koryanchihuahua, since she's a fox sniper lady,hates humans ( understandable ), unique sense of humour, a women of her word
Melusine-Illya but point eyebrows, that's it
I resonate with the Van Gogh part so much - I got her at NP 1 at first because I saw she is just a really strong servant and I really wanted a foreigner to help me with story. I am also a massive sucker for any art or poetry based servants, as I have massive respect for artists having tried drawing and growing a liking to it. So seeing Van Gogh and Hokusai in servant form and given so much respect to their story, life, and art in FGO. I can't help myself.
During Goghie's event, seeing her grown, learning her story, her inner self, and the ending of the event, it all just made my heart melt. I would not be able to live with myself if I ever hurt her in some way.
She is now sitting at 10/10/10 skills done over 2 days, NP 2 and I even tried for NP 3 (would have gone for NP 5 if i had the funds). Once my Saber-tolfo gets to 1.5k/2k in both HP and ATK Fous, they're then going to Goghie. I'm gonna grail Goghie to lvl 100 as well once i get the QP to do so.
My Murasaki Shikibu (Rider) is grailed to lvl 90. At first I just wanted a rider servant as I literally had 0 gold riders before her. Then I read her role in the summer event she was in, and I just started liking her more and more. I haven't read any of her works yet, but I still hold high respects for her because of her poetry and knowing it was some of the first ever. And yes i know summer versions are joking around with servants and such, but hey, she's a 4 star and i wanted both Murasaki and a strong rider servant.
Both versions of Astolfo grailed: saber to 100, rider to 90. Reasoning: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Castoria at 100 as well, just kinda wanted to. Haven't read LB 6 yet, so idk much about her story.
I just roll for van gogh just because SHE'S VAN GOGH
didn't even know that she's that strong to begin with
i just love irl van gogh so much that i got her to np2
after her event and knowing her story
I'm not even mad at that she's genderbend or she's not actually van gogh or what
i love her even move and she's level 100 now
@@mr.c3231 Starry starry night.
I'm so happy you have Babbage on your list. He was my first 100 grail, one of the first servants I summoned and a character who's design I fell in love with minute 1. It always makes me sad when people just.... ignore his presence and write him off as a useless servant.
Am guessing ppl sleep on him hard because his damage isn't the greatest even with buffs ?
Other than that idk i love using him even if he's not my support lineup
Since everyone's sharing their grailed servants, I'll be sharing mine too :D
Hokusai (Foreigner & Saber) - Her Noble Phantasm in her OG class caught my attention, especially how great strong the VA'S acting in that NP. Hokusai is also a badass for not falling for cthulu, plus how they portray both father and daughter as a crazed painter who wanted to keep painting is a win win for me since I love arts and currently taking fine arts in college. Also Kuroboshi's art is just *chef kiss*. Will definitely get her to NP 5 if ever.
Robin Hood - my first 3 star servant. He literally carried me throughout the story, I love him so much, from his personality and his story, literally my husband. I also enjoyed Robin Hood since it was one of my childhood stories! Glad that Fate implemented him.
QSH - Kinda same as how you describe Bedivere, Meta wise and MOTH. Love his art style and his story in Lostbelt 3.
Might Grail some of these servants too: Proto Arthur, Kama, Van Gogh, Voyager, Yang Guifei, Ozy, Gil, and Euryale.
The servant I would grail immediately if only I have them
Grailing is truly the greatest thing fgo gave us to show our love for our favorite servants. It's also the most cursed thing because of how many coins we need to go to 120 💀
The first servant I grailed was Scheherazade. When I was a child, my father read to me 1001 Nights and to this day, it remains as one of my favorite literary pieces. I started the game a few weeks before Agharta launched in NA and when I saw her, I knew I wanted her in my Chaldea, so I rolled a bunch of times and got nothing. It was until the very last three quartz that she came and from that day on, she became my main combat Caster despite everyone else telling me she's shit. Thanks to command codes, she can apply burn to enemies and so works very well with Yang Guifei and Castoria, both of which I'm lucky to have obtained as well.
The second servant I grailed was Saber Artoria. I loved Fate Stay Night. It was what got me into this sea of salt back in 2006. She's still my best frontline saber and hits hard as hell.
Third was Rider Medusa. I love this character not just because she was awesome in Heaven's Feel, but because I always liked her in Greek myth. So her being only a three star servant felt kind of inappropriate for me. Medusa Lily and Gorgon are also in my Chaldea, the latter of which is grailed too, considering I got her early and she carried me since Septem until Goetia's defeat. I still use her when I know a difficult enemy is coming on when farming.
I've also grailed Medea, because for a long time, she was my best single target combat Caster, and despite her low damage, her Rule Breaker got me out of tons of problems.
Atalante remains as my best archer, especially because I have no 5 Stars of that class, but hey, the cat lady is excellent anyway. and if there is a pattern here, is that I'm a sucker for greek mythology.
As for Assassins, I grailed Kama because her summoning was fortuitous. I did a single multi with my last 30 SQ and she popped up along with Parvati, so I was ver happy. Her sheer damage against Riders and her niche against Alter Egos helped me immensely, making her a mainstay in my teams.
The other Assassin I have grailed is Mata Hari. I love her protagonism in Salem, but she was one of my earliest characters and grew very fond of her. This is also a character I like because I read about the real Mata Hari when I was a child.
Boudica was also an early servant that I grailed and the one I used the instant ascension on when I was starting because I was getting my ass handed to me while I was still learning and noticed her NP was more defensive and was helping me survive. Some might say that it was a waste, but I don't regret any of that. She was another historical figure I read about while I was a child and was impressed with her bravery.
As for Lancers, I grailed classic Cu Chulainn just because I like him as a character and because he's a real cockroach. Nothing kills him. The other Lancer I grailed was Artoria Alter, who just popped up in London never to be seen again... kind of boring, but she hits hard and her NP applies curse, so she's good in long fights. I want to grail Scathach too, because she's both a monster and funny as hell.
Ushiwakamaru is at 80 currently. She's so good and funny as hell. Headpats. Can't go wrong with that.
I haven't grailed any Berserker yet. I'm undecided between Musashi or Penthesilea.
Arash is one character I think deserves being grailed too.
Billy is my favorite servant lol, he was really cool within the scenes he's been in (especially the lostbelt stuff ) and just find that he's a solid single target burster. Hope for a Billy buff one day!!
I haven't grailed any of my servants yet but I have an idea who I want to.
Voyager - that smile of our space son and gift to the universe keeps me going for miles and days. He is my first and only foreigner so far too.
Karna - He's been my favorite servant since I watched Apocrypha a long time ago. So yes I'm going to grail him. And make him go absolutely nuclear.
Asclepius - I don't have many support kit servants so I level up the ones I have to the best of my abilities.
I only have two grailed servants and am currently hoarding like 8 grails due to indecision:
#1: My king, Leonidas; he has no equal. My favorite character in both FGO and history, this absolute LEGEND cannot be tamed and I build my entire roster around him. He's 100 with two appends unlocked, and eventually he WILL go all the way to 120.
#2: Heracles, the Master of Solo himself, also level 100. This man's myths form a core memory in my childhood, and he and Illya were easily my favorite parts of all versions of Stay Night. Heracles is the only person who can even kinda stand next to Leonidas in my heart, and as such he is the last Servant I'll get to 100 before Leonidas gets to 120.
After that, I have 8 grails I can't decide how to use. Candidates are Caster Cu, Saber Lancelot, Caster Gilgamesh, Rider Medusa, and Archer Emiya.
ayo we got a fellow Hurc enjoyer? hell yeah brother, Id shake ur hand if I could
@@Kriviach Right back at you, my friend!
drop your FC. I shall follow to use your king.
@@changboe8216 069,296,990. I hope you enjoy!
Herc (102, working on 120): I like his story. The fact that he was my first 4* helps and the fact that he has put in the work is points in his favor.
BB (4*) (90): Did so as a successful catalyst for her summer self. Also she’s cute.
Arash/Spartacus/Chen Gong (80): Grailed because I - at the time - thought I needed multiple K-scopes to build a farming team. Then I had a random idea to scavenge what I had to stitch something together - given that Pure Prisms dropped at that time, I literally had no excuses. Will likely grail the lot to 90.
My grailed servants:
Level 102 Berserker Lancelot: The first reason is because he's badass, even before the animation update. He's a knight with a minigun for NP. The animation update is just icing on the cake. Then, I found out about his lore and I just deeply relate to him like I just feel sorry for him. It felt as if I want him to live a better life after that.
Level 100 Berserker Musashi: I really love her carefree Onee-san personality and her lore throughout Shimousa, Anastasia and Atlantis. When I first found out about her death in JP, man I started crying. I was very emotional about that. I'm still pissed at myself that I didn't get her saber form. I guess I just have to make the best of it.
Level 100 Van Gogh: At first, I was attracted by her sheer unstable insanity personality and her gameplay from the JP server. When NA comes around and I saw imaginary scramble, it felt I was reliving my own story the same way I feel with Berserker Lancelot. The fact that she guilt trips herself so much just makes me want to pull her out from her own depressive world.
Level 90 Tomoe Gozen: She's just the best. Perfect mix of design, personality and gameplay for me. And she carried me through Camelot so she has a special place in my heart.
Level 90 Ushi: Same reason as Tomoe Gozen, but cuter.
Level 90 Amadeus Mozart: His story in Orleans was really funny. I deeply enjoy watching this douchebag do his shenanigans.
Level 90 Salieri: I'm held at gunpoint.
Level 69 Edward teach: *I'm dead set making this guy the most meme-iest servant in my roster.* I even went far and beyond to making his stats and his ce that I choose for him has to have a 69 on it, I'm dead serious.
My grails are
Kiyohime 100: I’ll be honest, I kinda like how assertive she is, and I might have little bit of a thing for yandere.
Nyalter 100: There really isnt that much of a reason for her. I just looked at her design and immediately loved it.
Maou Nobu 100: Honestly, the main reason is cuz hot.
Osakabehime 100: she was my first 5 star in this game, and carried me through some tough rider fights. I love her awkward personality and her valentine is so adorable.
Circe 100: I love her part of Odysseus legend as it is the one that got me interested in greek myth in the first place and over all liking the tale. When I learned she was in Fate, I was convinced to download FGO.
My planned grails are Astraea, Van Gogh, Melusine, Baobhan Sith and Rikyu.
I have grailed:
Junao - OP Berserker is OP
Summer Musashi - Art looper and I love her Character
Summer Kiara - Arts looper
Mordred - One of my first few DPS servants
Saito - BURY THE LIGHT
Kiritsugu - He deserve love to sooth his pain
MHXX - My first Berserker killer
Summer Hokusai - Great Single target arts looper
Summer Jeanne - Chuuni
Summer Melt - First looper
Salieri - The Ivan fight speaks for itself
Summer BB (120 soon): I just love BB
Protea(100, eventually 120): Best Kaiju daughter
Voyager (100, eventually 120): I really love his third ascension and the whole concept behind him. His NP always make me tear inside
Salieri (100): Really love both his design and arc during the first lostbelt. Also haha angry man goes DIO SANTISSIMO MISERICORDIA DE MI when looping
Abby (100): Pretty similar, I love lovecraftian inspired things and abby is super cute. Her second ascension is kinda dope too while both having her more or less covered and keeping the cool NP animation
Shipstar (96, coins happened): Purely meta purposes. It's not like I don't like her or anything, but I wouldn't had grailed her if she wasnt the best/most versatile looper in the game
Heracles (90): My first servant who carried me through the whole game (and still does sometimes). Felt like I had to. No regrets whatsoever, basakah is the strongest in the world.
For the future, I want to 120 Don Quixote. As a Spaniard myself his appearance was long due, but damn was the wait worth it
In the numbered order of servants I have grailed and why.
-Andersen lvl 100: I didn't know much about Andersen at all, but in the French chapter while my Marie rider and Siegfried where down. Leaving only him and Mashu. He DESTROYED Sanson and Berserker Lot. Idk in that moment I saw Andersen as the coolest guy ever with his NP that heals with buffs and cause It was such a close call I had to learn how to play the game. Later down the line a friend of mine who grew up in Denmark now lives in the states told me history about Andersen, and I related to him on another level. I don't want to get into it myself, but my health was not the best, and Andersen made me want to keep trying despite the odds. Not only that, but as my friend was telling me about Andersen, they told me to go out and read one of his stories. I did, and I cried. I rather not say the story, cause it's really dark and is very death heavy, but I still have not finished it, and shocked such a dark story was written in such a lovely way by such a man for people to read. So from there I went down the Andersen and history rabbit hole and still chocked that Andersen knew Charlies Dickens, and Alexander Dumas. Lastly cause this is a fun fact with me. I adored him so much that I knew we would get a adult version of him. Sure it was only as a NPC, but I still am hoping he is in game, I can summon him, and I can grail him to 100 as well.
-Billy the kid lvl 90: He was the reason I got into the fgo and the fate series as a whole. No lie my other online friend came to me wanting me to get into fate. I said pretty much, "Tell me more about this fgo religion" And she showed me the april fools billy the kid, told me this was billy the kid, and my brain was like, "DO IT! GO INTO THIS HELL RIGHT NOW." But this was way before NA came out, and when it did I waited for Billy. Sad thing is when I rolled for him I kept getting Nightingale spooks. Funny enough I got him at the Fate/zero event along with Assassin Emiya. He was at NP 2 or 3, but since then he is now np5, and was my main Ace for dealing with most battles. As well as him making me realize I like a lot of Quick servants and play.
-Tristian lvl 90: Okay this one is a weird one. I was rolling for Male Saber but Tristian came out. I was so mad I was going to burn him, but then I heard his voice and went, "......Oh....Fuck...he sounds really hot....Fuck. Can't burn him now." Then I used him, liked his skill set a lot, and he saved me in a lot of hard fights. Also as a guy who is also not over there first love ending horribly I related to him so well that I gave him grails. Also because of him coming on white day and it being a happy accident. I made it a thing every year on White day to roll a lot of SQ and see who would be my White day Servants. I did get Arthur next year, then Vlad, and Finally Achilles. I am hoping on 2023 to get Odysseus, cause he was the servant I wanted on my wishlist for years until this announcement in JP.
-Shi Huang Di lvl 100: I will admit the reason I grailed Shi was for selfish reasons. No not battle reasons, but on the fact that they have no gender. I am attracted to people like that for some odd reason, Pixiv not helping, and the memes on the internet I rolled for them. I got Shi on my last ten pull and I wasted 600 sq on the ruler. They were worth it, and for a long time was my only ruler and I love my Emperor very much. I put all my fous, grails, and EXP into him, and in a hour I showed my friends I was serious on pumping Shi full of grails that I got a lot of Damns in the chat. He helped me out a lot and with my Merlin he is really strong. Hoping fgo gives them a outfit cause they deserve it.
Servants I want to grail: (Can't mostly waiting for Adult Andersen to be a servant, then I will waste my grails.)
-Yan: The chapter they are from made me like him a lot and the Archer there. Plus he is a Quick servant and has avoided me for years. I was able to get him from a 4 star ticket and after that he would spoke me. I like his lore, and how he is with masters. I know I will get a lot of people mad at me for saying this, but he is like a male Nightingale on the methods on making sure the master is okay. Also I like him so much that he is on np3 or np4, and I hope to np 5 him one day.
-Marie Rider: She was the servant I kept going back to when going to the Wikipedia. I saw her design and knew. "Yup. She will be my favorite servant." Then I played NA and got her in a 10 pull with Siegfried. Since they came like that I saw it in my game that Siegfried was Marie's knight, and he pretty much was. She got me all the way to the last part of the Solomon fight, and it's my headcanon that she used her NP try to get me and Mashu out before we fall, failed, and saw Fou and what they really were. Also from another online friend who I follow on twitter told me a lot of facts about Marie and Sanson's life. She liked Sanson, read his dairies but one, and that's how she knows a lot of things. As well as her looking into other stuff as well. Which over all added to me liking her and feeling sad over finding out what happened to her kids. As well as more context to what Sanson did to Marie before her beheading, which was him cutting her hair, because he didn't want anyone to make her bald. Mostly because he knew her hair was one of her favorite things about her. As well as him knowing they will hurt her while doing it. So fought to cut her hair and made it short for her. I think Maire thanked him for being so gentle with cutting her hair, and I think that was the last time they spoke before she was killed. Still what fate did and the fandom did with Marie is nothing but amazing to me and I love the love and joy she gives to both masters and servants, and I hope one day we get the Marie Alter mommy we all want and deserve.
Mordred was my first 5 star; I've had her since 2017-12-20 which was about 2 weeks after I started. I probably played the game on and off during that time then I finally started to explore Fate and watch Apocrypha. Then it hit me "I have that Character!" Instant Favorite. Now I have her on level 120 grail grind and during that free ssr event I got my final copy for NP5. What a journey.
My grails were basically the "I just love this servant, and think they deserve more"
+ Atalante Alter - 104, Max fou'd, bond 12 - I just loved her since she appeared in Apoc. One of my favorites of all time.
+ Serenity - 100, 1.7k fou'd - Cutest assassin, lover her and Hassan's role on Camelot
+ Eresh - 100 - She just loved spooking me (3 times) when I was trying to summon Starry Nights CE for my Hot Wheel's
+ Hot Wheel's - Grand berserker in my heart, angy boy turned out to have one of the best (imo) personalities in game
+ Hokusai (Saber) - 90 - I just don't have her Foreigner version
+ Summer Yu - 90 - I didn't had her Assassin variant at the time
Next in my list are (in no particular order)
+ Van Gogh
+ Asclepius
+ Cursed arm
+ Mash (when/if available)
+ Atalante (Archer)
+ Osakabehime (Assassin)
I only use my grails to bring up lower star servants up to standard levels 70 or 80, so i can always use every servant without having the feeling of handicapping myself by bringing a lower stat 1/2/3 stars.
I'll share my grailed servants since it seems a lot of people are.
At 110 is Suzuka Gozen; she was my first 4 star servant through the tutorial summon, and her character designs are nice. The note that she doesn't like to use her skills because it heightens her thinking and gives her depressive withdrawls is also really funny. Then when I was able to play SERAPH and her interludes, she grew on me even further as someone that could totally kill you at any moment, but chooses not to because she has other (more silly) priorities. She's a killer unit for long term battles, and when I got my own Merlin for double wizard powers she excels. Too bad I haven't encountered that many situations where her long form combat style is needed.
After that, I grailed Prototype Cu to 80 because up until Camelot I just used friend support Berserker Cu and Suzuka to clear everything. Then the first mission of Camelot bodied me so hard for a week that I spent a month just leveling servants because I realized that I need more than 2 servants leveled. And although I could have picked a better Cu, he was A lancer I happened to have not sold and went along with. But I feel I could have picked worse options so oh well.
After that I grailed servants based on a mix of them being more powerful in my eyes, as well as them being really cute. Parvati was solid when Skadi came out, Tomoe was a powerful ST that could take care of most sabers, and Grey is really cute (but an AOE assassin is nice).
Then while Farming for Castoria and summoning on the SERAPH banner just beforehand, I got Heracles. And even though I had cleared all the lostbelts, I knew I would want him maxed out. And I also had mad surplus of grails since I wasn't too worried about powering up servants, and a surplus of Embers for all classes I had stockpiled, I grailed Heracles, then Waver, then Kama. All of which were meta picks, but man are they useful.
Maybe in the future I'll grail Castoria, Merlin, and Skadi (if I ever get her) to have all the casters rounded out. Maybe I'll also use Jeanne Archer because holy molely is she good for farming in **everything**. But I tend not to think abotu grailing because I already have done enough grinding for events and trying to level every servant I have is already enough of a handful after a while of playing.
Honestly, I love how pathetic the Kights of the Round Tablet were in S6. This was then at their worse, but the circumstance of human incineration coupled with the chanceof redemption made it understantable. All knights made the oppositive decision to thes actions in life due to their regrets.
my grails:
Medea (106+)- love her character in stay night and ataraxia. I felt like a lot of servants in zero and stay night had a lot of "right my wrongs" in their wish so seeing her in UBW happy with soichirou and stating that her wish came true made me immediately go from "shes a stepping stone for archer and shirous relationship" to "oh shit wait she was actually a fleshed out character". Seeing her happy in ataraxia and today's menu only confirmed this truly being her wish and its a surprisingly wholesome end for a character whose name is practically synonymous with greek tragedy.
Atalanta archer (100) + alter (90)- absolutely loved her involvement in apoc + her justified "cat" girl design. I love how she has such a potent flaw that she cant shake and her involvement in LB1 made me realize just how engraved it is in her. also her deathscene with achiles was a curse set by penth in achiles lifetime which is CRAZY as atalata was already dead by the time she cursed him.
Circe (100)- aside from her involvement with medea she has a very likeable personality and I like how she went through an arc within chaldea with odyseus. she also has a very cute design and consistently walks the line between tsundere and yandere which I find cute
Corday (100)- you summed her up perfectly, however I also had one additional reason: when I saw her suffer from Zeus' nanomachines I knew I had one goal: let her get the final blow on zeus. which I ended up doing thanks to her being lvl 100
Herc (90)- meta
REGEND(80)- aside from, again, being linked to medea he was also a very cool challenge for saber and musashi. every time he walked on screen he felt like a final boss despite being just a nameless samurai
jaguar warrior(80)- loved taiga, summer jaguar warrior when
angra mainyu(80)- I had to see what that black grail looked like on a zero star. very worth.
I only started playing FGO early this year and I was a bit hesitant to grail anyone at first, but I do have a few servants I'm trying to get to level 100.
The lowest is Hercules whose at 90 currently. I of grew up really liking Greek mythology because of stuff like the Disney version of Herc's tale and the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan being the main contributing factors, that and well....even close to 2,000/2,000 I wasn't really satisfied with how hard he was hitting things and figured using a few grails to level his attack up would help.
Merlin is an odd one, because up till I started getting into Fate I didn't really care for him in any other media. But once the Vegas rerun happen I found out real quick that I love how he basically screws with everyone he interacts with and said love only grew when I finally got to Babylonia.
Next is Castoria....I'll be honest, I know next to nothing about her because Lostbelt 6 hasn't translated yet. But from what I can tell from how she's portrayed in most fan comics, I can tell I'll really enjoy getting to find out more about her.
Now here's the one that'll raise a few eyebrows- Jack. Before anyone asks, no she wasn't my first 5 star (that would be Mordred) nor was she my favorite servant Apocrypha or Fake/Strange Fake (I didn't even know about either of those two until after I started playing FGO). I just felt sympathetic for her because she just wanted to be loved by her mother and not abandoned, and it felt relatable because of my own mental health issues I was going through.
Same thing sort of goes for Kagetora as well. For context, I started playing like two weeks before the Gudaguda 4 rerun and it was my first event so there is some biased about that. Though the more I played through the event and got to see more and more of her character, and how she puts on a smile in an attempt to understand others better and how most of her family held disdain for her because of how she couldn't understand emotions properly.......as someone whose on the autism spectrum and with painful childhood memories of how my family treated me growing up, she was so relatable it hurts.
Tomboy Supremacy is a thing? So does that mean Clown World is real?
Yes
Who? Mephistopheles?
It is real, and it is as wondrous and as terrifying as you might expect to find.
You mean florida?
Clown World does exist
It’s called Twitter
I'm a fairly casual FGO player so I just haven't put the time/effort into getting my Servants to the point where they can even *be* Grailed, but there are two characters who have been given one each.
Firstly, Shuten-Douji. It's her voice. 90% of it is just her voice. Her design overall ticks some boxes for me, and I like the way she interacts not only with the other characters from her own legend, but what she does in Chiyome's Interlude. I whaled for her, I Grailed for her, simple as.
The other one is Archer Emiya, mostly because he's an OG character and he's a good farming unit. I also appreciate how he's generally just nice and supportive.
James Moriarty (Archer): Didn't think too much about him when he 1st came out on NA because I wanted to get Hessian Lobo at the time. Then I used him from friend support several times, and I grew to love him. After several attempt to get him. He finally came home on last years Chaldea boys event with 30 quartz. Needless to say that I leveled him up, his skills, and mana charge skill. Only thing I need to do is get him to bond 10. Loved his design, personality, and whatever story he's in regardless how much time he gets in them. It's a treat for me. With his buff around the corner next year, and hsi Ruler form the year after. I'm whaling for them until my wallet calls a hit out for me. Also the scene prior to fighting Sieg made me blush.
Sigurd: Loved his design, and my 1st bond 10 sevant. His 1st skill though needs a star gather rate buff so it doesn't feel like a shot in the dark every time I use it.
My Grailed Units in chronological order:
- Kiyohime Level 80: She alongside Zerkalot were my first ever servants that I HEAVILY relied on. In the past, I was extremely lonely, and I struggled to make friends or have anyone actually like me. So, when I got this clingy yandere dragon girl who was HEAVILY in love with my game character... that hit different for me. So since then, I used Kiyohime almost exclusively as my servant who was in every fight. Again, with Zerkalot backing her up, this was also when I didn't know what team comp was. I just threw berserkers at everything, and I hope I won. Even though my love for her isn't as strong as it used to be, I still have great memories of Kiyohime being super helpful. She's also one of my three servants that are at bond 10 and she's the only bond 10 who isn't a support servant. One day she will be level 100 but for right now, she will stay at level 80 since Yu Mei Ren level 120 takes a bigger priority.
Now for the level 100s:
Ryougi Shiki: When I first did her event, I knew nothing on her background or history. I then fell in love with her character, gameplay and how utterly broken she was (back then at least). Then that inspired me to check out her anime KNK and from there, she stole my heart. She currently is max fou'ed, max skill level, and level 100. I still use her as my rider slayer dps and HOLY FUCK even in this meta, Shiki still doing the numbers. She slew a Cerebus in 3t despite the boss having aa guts activate! She was and still is my favorite Type Moon protagonist.
Musashi: Oh my fucking god, I adore this swordswoman. She's the reason why I gave a bigger shit on sword styles, as well as base one of my characters for dnd off the Book of Five Rings code. I also love her NP, it is one of the most badass noble phantasms ever. I'm so happy that she came home to me off a gssr. Which to me feels even more special since she told me after Shimousa she would come to see me. So in a weird meta foreshadowing moment she was right. Now I know that she meant for the later story bits but even still... it felt so special to me. When there's a lancer boss, I grab Musashi to throw hands. As an aside, I love when Fifth Force crits during her arts attack. That NP gain is just baller.
Boudica: I feel like she is EXTREMELY slept on as a character. I absolutely love her character, design, tragic backstory, and her voice work. I fucking love her so much, she means a lot to me. She's why I even remember Septem. Boudica was the reason why I defended that chapter back then (nowadays I'm more angry over the fact, it screwed over nero). When she got her animnation update I POPPED OFF SO HARD! Boudica is my rider waifu now and forever. I also have a thing for red heads so that's also why I love her so damn much.
Scathach: I am a proud Scathach simp and always will be. I've wanted her since the American singularity, she's my lancer waifu and I love her NP. It's just so fucking cool, I still laugh at how I got her. So, during New Years, I was rolling on her banner and got Lancelot saber the roll before her and before that I got NP2 Wu Zetian (more on Wu Zetian later as she plays a role for how I got Yang) THEN the next roll after I got Lancelot saber (aka the third roll). I got Scathach, I was so overjoyed she was finally home I hugged my phone. Her getting an event was such a big highlight for me since it made me feel more invested for the grail fronts. Plus, her getting a bunny outfit was also a great moment that Arcade couldn't claim as something exclusive to them.
Yang: At first, I didn't really love her. But I rolled for her because her design caught my eye, so during my rolls I rolled Wu zetian for the first time. THEN RIGHT AFTER WU WAS YANG HERSELF. After getting Yang to bond 5 and absolutely falling for her. I then grailed her to level 100 asap. She sits as my only foreigner to get that privilege. I have used Yang for all my berserker boss fights since getting her and oml does she clean shop. Thanks to her the CQ for Gudaguda 4 was a literal cake walk. Every time I see Yang I smile warmly, because she is one of those servants I adore. Then learning her background made me fall for her even harder. She's this tragic heroine that didn't do anything wrong even then exist with beauty. I make it my mission to show Yang as her new emperor/master, i will treat her better than the last man who couldn't be loyal to her. Upon learning Wu Zetian is Yang's grandmother in law, made me laugh so fucking hard. Since then, I've warmed up to Wu Zetian, I treat her with respect but that's just me being civil to her. In any case, Yang is amazing, I love her, her np theme is godly, and she's a beast in combat.
Gareth: Honestly, it was because of two people as to why she's grailed. One of them is a good friend of mine showing how POWERFUL a 120 Gareth could be. Said showcase was Gareth was slapping SURTR'S shit, then the other person was in fact Klidge! Watching Gareth solo the Rice Shogun from the Gilfest EQ was so cool to watch. So, seeing that made me want to grail Gareth and since then. Yup she was worth it, she is SUCH A BOSS and her having the older sister personality while being a cute girl is just amazing. Ira Lupus is just so fun to watch, and when I deployed her during a Scathach Grail Front she just slew everything despite having extrremely low HP. Gareth is my favorite of the Camelot knights just because she's an underdog and I love characters that look out of their league when they fight stronger foes but still win through sheer force of will. Praise be to Gareth, the best Camelot Knight. I'm extremely hype for her appearance in Lostbelt 6!
Finally but not last, we have my ALL-TIME FAVORITE CHARACTER: *Yu Mei Ren*
I feel like enough people don't give her the love she deserves. Yes she has her issues, but honestly? She just had a rough background. I really loved LB3 as Yu Mei Ren is my favorite character of the second arc. The story was cool, the moments for Yu were tragic and the Lostbelt King is pretty neat being one of the few who really isn't the bad guy or not extremely hostile to us out of the gate. In any case, I love Yu Mei Ren and seeing her be the focus for Summer 5 was a huge treat to me! Since it not only made her character way better for several people but showed her off in the way I knew she was. Just a big tsundere senpai. She will be my 1 of 2 servants to hit Level 120. The other being Morgan le Fay but for right now, Yu Mei Ren will be my Level 120 once I get the grails I need. I got Yu Mei Ren off this recent gssr alongside Beni Enma which made me so happy. Then once her rerun happened, I got her to level 100 then NP5'ed her. She's one of the few servants to be NP5 and the only one to be NP5 intentionally. I love and adore Yu Mei Ren, she's one of 4 servants in the FGO roster that I am not only in love with but also happy to call one of my goat servants. Her, Yang, Morgan and Mash are why I am still playing FGO. I love them so much all for different reasons, but to bring it back to Yu Mei Ren. She means the WORLD to me, I want to make her happy and I want to prove to others that she's actually a great character.
And there you have it, my grailed servants and why. For the future though I plan on grailing more but here is some additions with a short reason:
- Caenis: He is amazing, and I love his character during the lostbelt 5 chapters. I love his design, his background and his voice work. Plus seeing him get super concerned for Van Gogh and wonder if he should protect her is so fucking cute like oml. He acts all big and badass but really, I feel like he wants to prove himself to us.
- Van Gogh: her design is great, her reasoning for being a gender bent is so fucking cool, her np theme is spooky, and the animation is beautifully creepy, and I LOVE HER NP VOICE LINES, THEY ARE SO GOOD LIKE HOLY SHIT
- Reines: My favorite from Case Files, and I will grail her in the future when i get a chance. Plus watching her dunk on Waver but still love her adopted brother is peak sibling relationship and I am here for it.
- Kiyohime: *See the Kiyohime entry*
- Ushi: three reasons
1. I love my loyal rider dps who is just precious and a cutie
2. Klidge got me into loving her even more then I even did
3. Babylonia anime you know the last stand she did. It was so well done, and I LOVE IT
Hokusai (both versions) - She was my first lvl 100 in NA. The main reason why I grailed her at first was because of 36 Views Of MT Fuji, which absolutely captured me when I first saw it when she was released in NA four years ago and even now impresses me. As time went on, I got more bits about her personality and got the aspiration to be an artist myself, which caused me to love her more and grail her Saber version to 100 too when she got released in NA.
Nobu (Zerker + Maou) - Just her fucking personality. I've always been a fan of chaotic personalities and Nobu is the perfect example of why I do so. She often acts as comic relief but still manages to be serious when the situation calls for it, and I like the whole thing with being the enemy of the Buddha, causing her to become an Avenger who personifies that. Pako's artstyle really sells her, and her animations are top tier. Maou Nobu may be a bit wack gameplay-wise at the moment but who fucking cares I love her to death.
Karna - Just a bro. I haven't watched Apochrypha, but I've seen the Sieg vs Karna fight, and WOW does he look awesome in that moment. But aside from that, I just love how generous this man is. It just makes him so much more endearing. Punchout version is also really cool and will get grailed to 100 just like in JP when he comes out next month.
Okita Alter (Saber) - I am a big fan of Kill La Kill and that third Ascension gives me hella vibes. She's also a cutie-patootie and is also a meta Quick looper as a bonus!
Taira no Kagekiyo - I LOVE how her gameplay goes. I've always been a fan of solos and the stuff Taira can do in that department can get rather ridiculous, especially during lottofests like the one going on in JP right now where they can abuse the damage CE's Guts for more NP damage. I'm a bit eh about their personality, but their gameplay and animations managed to sell themselves so well she went straight to 100.
Mandricardo - Fuck, man. He's just too relatable. Overthinking things, being awkward at social conversations, feeling like he doesn't belong... It just relates to me so much. He's a very nice guy, and his portrayal in Atlantis just made me like him even more. I'd really love to hang out with him. He's currently my first 120 target in JP.
Da Vinci Lily - I'm tired of writing all this so I'll just say she's likeable and has good gameplay, which in my eyes is good enough for 100.
Calamity Jane - Expressive as one can be, cool animations, great voice actress, what's not to love? She also got NP5 extremely easy during the Saber Wars II rerun, and I kinda took that as a sign.
Elisabeth (Cinderella) - Fucking adorable, the fact she's near constantly singing, unique demerit-focused gameplay, good animations, I just love her a lot. I can't wait to read her event's story to see what she's about.
Himiko - First SSR in JP, and wow did she do a lot for me. Unga bunga animations appealed to me a lot, attractive design, THE OC booster before Reines stole her job, Buster crits galore. 10/10
Paris - He's like the little brother I always would have loved but never had. His grudge against Achilles for killing his brother is very understandable, but outside of that he's a little bro I would always have liked to take care of. He's the one I get the most emotional over because of that. Paris is an adorable little kid that also happens to be assisted by Apollo in the form of a sheep and also carries a giant fucking gun. His gameplay is also very unique, rewarding buff removals for more NP damage, and generally being surprisingly tanky. But honestly, that's rather secondary to the emotional attachment I have to him.
Wait, he? ( Paris )
@@kushagrakush7627 Yeah. He's a boy.
Based tastes, especially for Mandricardo.
Can totally relate with the overthinking and having the thoughts of I'm not good enough when hanging out with friends and thinking I'm the weakest link. That's extremely relatable and his relationship with Gudao is extremely well done.
Even his overthinking schtick isnt annoying but are portrayed to be relatable and hilarious.
My first grailed servant was Tomoe Gozen on NA. First servant outside of the tutorial role, first archer, and carried me through all of the first arch of the game. Absolutely love her.
I just have a special feeling regarding tragic heroes.
That's why I grailed Emiya, Muramasa and Bedi, they give the same vibe being humans/non heroic spirits.
I still haven't decided the other servants I want to grail.
My Grailed Servants:
- Okita (saber) [100]: She's my favorite servant in the game. I love both badass could kill you in a moment characters and cute and happy characters and she's a perfect mixture of both.
- Eresh [100]: What can I say, I might be basic and like the best Rin face. Also she is adorable.
- Kama [100]: Like I said, I'm basic and like the best Sakura face. Also she can step on me.
- Musashi (saber) [100]: Honestly I've always liked Musashi but after reading Olympus I just needed to grail her.
- Yang Guifei [100]: Remember what I said about Okita? I feel the same about HaoHao, she's so cute.
- Qin Liangyu [90]: Her interlude made fall in love with her.
- Medusa Lily [90]: She's best daughter and you should keep with the hood ascension.
- Charlotte [80 (she'll get to 90 eventually)]: Klidge explained pretty well. Love Charlotte.
Will Grail when they come on NA/I get more grails/I get the servant in question:
- MHXA: Do I need to explain why Ecchan is precious.
- Hokusai (Foreigner): First foreigner I saw in FGO and made me fall in love for the class.
- Morgan: Cause otherwise my wife will kill me.
- Summer Kama: I already love Kama, and her design is absolutely beautiful.
- Ishtar: Have I mentioned How basic I am.
- Muramasa: Don't know if this will change once I read LB6, but just with Shimousa I love his personality.
There is some others I like but those are the main targets for the time being... Once coins can be exchanged for cups nothing will be able to stop me (?)
If we’re talking about servants that I have that I grailed, then Izo is my top pick. He is by far my favorite when it comes to design, voice, personality, history, and pretty much everything. Idk why but he’s everything that I love as a character. I also did some research and got some really interesting info which gives him a lot more depth. (Needs an interlude and a buff, stat)
I spread my grails out pretty evenly for the purpose of personal preference and utility. Nobody is above level 90 because after that you get diminishing returns. As for who I've grailed:
Rama: I needed a strong single target saber
Bedivere: Loved him in Camelot
Emiya: Came in my tutorial roll and I've been relying on him ever since. He's NP4 so his NP hits hard!
Robin: Poisoning the enemy and then blowing them up feels oh so good.
Cu: I slept on this man for way too long and it was about time I gave him what he deserved.
Lancer Raikou: Do You Love Your Mom and Her Multi Hit Buster Crits?
Lancer Vlad: Wanted a reliable father-figure at the time and he stepped up
Alexander: I think I lowkey want a son or little brother
Ushiwakamaru: Only single target rider I had for awhile
Rider Kintoki: Motorbike and Meta
Sakamoto Ryouma: I STAN A MAN THAT LOVES HIS WIFE
Mandricardo: MAI FRIENDO
Hans: Slept on him and wanted to try using him on advanced content when I woke up
Asclepius: I. NEED. HEALING.
Carmilla: First 4 Star and it was about time I rewarded her for her work
Heracles: BASAKA WA DARE NI MO MAKENAI SEKAI DE ICHIBAN TSUYOI DAKARA!
Ruler Martha: Gotta make sure my religious education is high quality
Hessian Lobos: I like big dogs and I cannot lie
Ruler Astraea: Lovin' them arts crits
I never really payed too much attention to Xu Fu and just passed her off as a really good low rarity arts support, now that I’ve read her bond CE I absolutely love her just due to how much I relate to her. If you haven’t read it yet, do read it, it’s absolutely hilarious.
She is such a good character and I love everything about her
I grailed
Kid Gil- I love Gilgamesh
Archer Emiya- Idk why I did it
Lanling- I grailed him twice and I love him the most from all my servants
Euryale : saw how hard the Gawain fight would be but eventually she grew on me and is currently 106 ( soon 120)
Seig : the reason I even got into fate
Erice : love her design and personality
Nightingale : she carried me through some of my fights and I just love her
Im grailing every Artoria i get.
I fully agree that Grailing should be done primarily out of love and secondary out of meta.
I myself didn't use a lot of Grails, but the one I used were for personal affection:
Lvl 100 - Artoria, Jeanne and Okita. I am a massive saber fan, have been one since I read original VN back in the day. Jeanne I love because of historical and religious significance as well and Okita grew on me since she was released but even more after Fate/Type Redline manga started coming out and I read more about Boshin War.
Lvl 90 - Martha Rider, Martha Summer, Shiki Assassin. Martha because she really grew on me as dependable older sister as well as for religious reasons. Shiki Assassin I grailed after watching all KnK movies.
I've given Leonidas a couple of grails. He has SAVED my sorry butt on more than one occasion and this more than earned them.
I've grailed a lot of Servants since launch, to the point that trying to list would be an effort and a half.
Love plays a major part, of course, and that can stem from either appreciation like with the FSN 3-stars, Bunyan, Paracelsus... or from being a waifu, like Osakabehime, Tamamo, Astolfo, and so on. Plenty of both for many reasons!
Grailing for love is good civ.
Barghest because she looks like a big golden retriever and I'm a sucker for retrievers.
Since my account is relatively new i'm kinda not giving Grails anywhere and everywhere, just got to Babylonia
So my only Grailed servant is Suzuka Gozen at level 90, Because Fox Ears and Overall cute behavior RULE
Although i have 6 grails right now, I just don't want to throw them left right and center, although i'm planning to grail Ushi because USHI, Hundred Faces because I love her design and everything about her, same with Boudica and William Tell and Robin Hood due to the same reason you grailed Touta, aka when i was young , these two were my fairy tale heroes
I'd also love to grail Zenobia if i could get my hands on her when she comes to NA because where i grew up, we learned a lot about the legend of Zenobia and how she resisted the romans, and she's considered a folk hero as well as the only servant from my country so far sooo yeah
kind of a long list since I spread my grail far and I am a day 1 player.
OG Abby lv 120: I really enjoyed the Salem chapter, and her character in general. her connection to the outer gods was the push I need to finally start looking into the works of Lovecraft
Medea lv 100: I really enjoyed her portraits in caravel phantasm and hollow ataraxic.
Voyager lv 100: I absolutely love his concept and he is a cinnamon roll.
summer Abby lv 92 (current lv 100 target): for similar reasons for normal Abby plus I like her desire to try nd protect us from all the messed up stuff happening all around us.
saber Liz lv 90: my first experience to the fate extended universe outside of stay night was Extella. and I absolutely loved her depiction in it, Lancer Liz was also my first 4 star when I started fgo, I decided to grail her saber form over her lancer form for game play reasons since I didn't have any good single target sabers at the time.
Fujino lv 90: I have seen all of garden of sinners as well as read all the books, I enjoyed how her story played out and since I didn't grail shiki I decided to grail Fujino instead.
Billy lv 90: I'm American I grew up on western media so I had to grail the outlaw. also his character in game and his role in lostbelt 1 really cemented him as one of my favored archers.
Medusa Lily lv 90: I have always been really into Greek mythology so grailing medusa makes since, I want with Anna because of Babylonia her charicter arc was realy good and the face that she weilds Harp is really interesting to me.
Sakamoto Ryoma lv 90: he is a really cool dude and I liked his portrayal here and in Gintama.
Miyu lv 90: I absolutely love Miyu she is my favorite character in prisma Ilya for her story and her character development.
Atalanta Alter lv 90: her descent into madness in Apocrypha and her role in lostbelt one were both amazing to watch.
Macha Eli MK1 lv 90: I thought she was a really funny concept, and she was my only alter ego till the Seraph rerun this year.
BB lv 90: even though I still have yet to play ccc from her actions in seraph, her actions in Hawaii and through her summer bond ce I have come to really love her as a character (also if I ever succeed in rolling her summer version I am taking her summer form to lv 100)
Taiga lv 80: its taiga I had to, she isn't a waifu to me but she is a really fun character.
Mata Hari lv 80: I grailed her origanlay because she was under rated but her role in Salem made me really like her character.
Salieri lv 80: he was really cool in lostbelt 1 but I kind of regret this one since I had to choose between him and Lobo, and looking back I would have rather griled lobo.
Hans lv 70: he's a cool guy de deserved the silver frame
spartacus lv 70: he is a cool and funny dude the apocrypha event and lostbelt 3 really made me appreciate he character more.
Angra Mainu lv 70: I have played hollow ateraxia and I lover his character and his legend, if not for the fact that I have other units I prioritized over him he would be a higher level by now.
Astraea: I absolutely love her, and she is an incredible four star. Being Suplex Mama on the side is just a nice bonus.
Maou Nobu: Easy call; my favorite unexpected spook, possibly my favorite Servant in the game. The plan has always been to make her as strong as possible, so Grail to 100 (and 120 one day) was an easy call.
And lastly, Ishtar: I admit that Eresh is a better Rinface, but my interest here isn't Rin-spired, so there's no issue there. Actually, Ishtar is the Servant that got me into FGO when I first saw her back in somewhat early NA. You see, I'm a massive fan of Inanna from Sumerian mythology, and naturally Ishtar as her Babylonian parallel stands in the same light. I know they're not quite the same, but it was enough for me.She's a strong Buster archer, she's served me very well over the years, and I don't regret a moment of it, or a Grail spent.
---
For me, my last few jobs spent years grinding me down, eroding away my time and my health, and actually ended up sending me to the hospital three times, coming off the tail of my last one. So even though I've been on FGO for many years, there's a lot of content I got to very slowly, needed to catch up on, or missed entirely. And that's the main reason why I haven't spent more Grails; I'm indecisive, but I also just need the time to collect more, and time to consider my options.
I've also Grailed Nagetora up to 90, and I plan to get her to 100 one day; she's just good, and fun, and I like her capabilities. And she also represents the period of my life where I was able to divorce myself from my toxic, nearly fatal workplace and start recovering, so she also stands a milestone to that. There's a lot of Servants I might choose if I had more Grails--Summer Carmilla, Scathach, Drake, Medusa, and many more. I know I'll Grail Caenis and Barghet one day if I can ever roll them, but otherwise my future plans for Servants I will 100% Grail are limited to... Beni-enma, I suppose.
Oh hell yeah, Anning appreciation is always lovely to see
Always nice to see other Ushiwaka enthusiasts. I have both versions of her maxed with grails and fous and started the long road to lvl 120 on Rider Ushi. Sadly my Summer Ushi has been stuck at np 4 ever since her first banner and I couldn't pull the last copy ever since. Instead I'm sitting on np 8 Summer Jeanne and.... I just hope my Tiara pulls are going to go better in January
Sharing my grailed characters:
Gareth:Best knight girl
Calligula:i really like his lore and how he's protayed as a tragic figure in fgo. His bond CE is one of my favorites
Salieri:My favorite Avenger. Love his role in lostbelt 1
Paris:love his gimmick and he's cute
Regend:Regend
Georgios:Need i explain?
Since you asked, here are my Grailed Servants on NA.
Herc Lv 100. Got him from my tutorial roll and he pretty much carried me through Part 1 so when I figured out how Grailing worked, he was the first to get some Grail love.
Fran (Berserker) Lv 100. She was the best part of Fate Apoc for me and I literally cried when she died. My goal is to get to her to NP5.
Fran (Saber) Lv 100. Same reason as her Berserker form but the fact that she just wants to chill in an air-conditioned room during summer speaks to me on a spiritual level. Also planning to get her to NP5.
Cu (Lancer) Lv 80. Best Doggo, loved him in the UBW Anime and I get a hoot whenever he appears in events.
Hans Lv 70. I had shit luck trying to get any Support Casters so Hans was there to fill that void and I grailed him as a reward for his loyal service.
Paul Bunyan Lv 70. Admittedly the only Servant I grailed for "meta" reasons because her NP is really short and I had lotto boxes to farm at the time.
I just love the concept of a characters that meant to be a wall that the mc needs to pass or a character that shows how strong other characters are and in Fate I found every single solo servants to be just that, so I grailed them to 100
After lostbelt 6, Gareth deserves all the grailing in the world
Grailed Arash, Sasaki, Serenity, Bunyan and Cursed Arm to 80, and got my EMIYA to 100, and swiftly working towards maxxing him out.
Wah! So much respect for you my dude✨ I have most of the servants you mentioned in here already grailed and some of them are in the lvl100 process, i also have so many others on my list for future "grailing treatment" haha.
So, i have most of my welfares on lvl90, some of them i want them on lvl100, but i guess I'll wait for the grail casting system.
Waiting for Taira to take her to lvl100, i already have 10 grails for her and to finish my Ushi, who will be my second lvl100❤️✨
Tomoe Gozen: My first grail, and let me tell you.. I wasn't at all interested in her at first. He animations were middling, her kit was middling, but I did kind of like her art. Then Setsubun happened and instead of being just an average servant to me, she rocketed to "I will help you reach your goal no matter the cost." She ended up being my first lvl100 2000/2000 servant.
Hokusai (Both Saber and Foreigner): I adore her country gal mixed with lewd painter persona on top of having great looking ascensions and animations. With her foreigner valentines scene being up their of my favorites as you just hang out with while she paints being a entirely wholesome encounter.
Tamamo no mae: Its really just because I love her looks, but she has been great in the media she's been in (I may or may not have used her a lot in Extella)
My Grailed servant
Ushi - FGO babylonia anime and because she deserves all the head pats
Emiya - Garcher, just Garcher
Hans - Regret Grail, just 1 before I knew what grailing is. At least he doesn't have a bronze border now
Van Gogh - She is cute, her event gave her a tragic backstory and she is ridicously fun to play
My grailed servants:
1. Gil (Archer & Caster) lv 100, with Dantes my no.1 favorite servant
2. Enkidu lv 100, just best clay
3. Dantes (currently) lv 115, love at first sight, always loved the count of Monte Christo, my favorite design, personality, he's just perfect.
4. Da Vinci Caster lv 100 (after avoiding me for years I swore if I got her in 1 10 shot I will grail her to 100)
5. Shiki Assassin lv 90, first welfare, loved her personality & design
6. Asagami Fujino, became a big knk Fan after the Shiki Event
7. Melt Lancer lv 90, her 5 Star keeps avoiding me and she's My favorite Sakura face. Also pengu
8. Lancelot Saber lv 90, fav knight of the round table, love his story and design
9. Asclepius lv 90, love his design, lore, personality, and he's really strong
10. Gray lv 90, best daughter in case Files
11. Charles Henri Sanson lv 80, GIVE HIM A BUFF ALREADY. He's so weak but I fell in love with his design, especially that FA. I'm a sucker for white haired guys. And the voice acting! My second grailed servant ever
Future targets:
Douman lv 100. With Gil and Dantes just an EX tier husbando, been waiting for this clown since Shimousa
Ruler Moriarty lv 100, Archer keeps avoiding me and now there's a younger sexier version
The grail explanations are secondary to the Klidge lore in this video lol
For your love of Billy, I would suggest you to go on FGO's subreddit and search for the Fate/Invitational. It's collaborative Holy Grail War story made by 8 people, 7 playing each Masters and 1 managing them.
The story has been pretty good so far, and it features Billy as the Archer. And oh boy seeing him pulling strings in the entire town's underworld while his Master has no idea is absolutely hilarious.
It also has Mordred, if you need more convincing.
Grailed our favourite blue dog who I also consider my son, feeling great.
If kirschtaria ever becomes summonable I’m bringing him to 120
-nero (4*, bride and summer) - she got me on fate extra, plot and design. (waifu)
-nobu (4*, summer and maou) - the reason for me playing fgo, funny af, badass, love her design (waifu)
-semiramis - apocrypha moment
-kiara - hot nun
-francis drake - i watched one piece
-molay - her np
My grailed units would be
Jalter - Jeanne was my first waifu in fate, loved her in apoc, then i learned about her altered version so yep, I fell in love with the cute goth tsundere, her cute competitive relationship between her and salter in shinjuku just made me love her even more! Not to mention her super hot doujins ehem.
Jeanne - Loved her in apoc, and orleans. Her interludes made me love her even more! The reason i started playing fgo, i even re rolled for her in sei shonagons event. Carried me throughout the lostbelts, and stalled the fuck out of wodime in olympus with the help of merlin and mash.
Summer Kiara - Always had a thing for lewd nuns, and to mention her lewd police outfit. She is my most used looper to date, but damn.. 800 quartz for 1 copy huh?
Mandricado - Loved him in atlantis being such an awkward guy. He has such a "Dude" personality and i roll with it.
Ushi (Rider) - Deserves all the headpats, that is all.
Luvia - Suplex me please. Spooked me first before i got jeanne during my re-rolls lmao, i didnt even know that she was part of the permanent pool that time since i was just new to the game, the first time i got genuinely pissed by a spook. Carried the fuck out of my ass throughout the lostbelts.
Chen Gong - Gong memes heh sorry waver nothing personal. Plus i want the big damage because me monkey brain, neuron activation when see big damage.
Taira (Future grail) - Seeing her np is so satisfying, call it basic with the sword slash and delayed flashiness but fuck it feels satisfying, imo its the best among all of the cliche katana slash np's. Also ushi face, and her personality, she may be a little bit edgy but she still has her ushiness we all know and love. She needs more headpats asap! and to anyone else rolling for her, good luck! May we all get her in 1 ticket!
Oh my God I'm the same I instantly fell for them as well. Hello Soul brother
Me casually offered all of my grails to Jeanne Ruler because she always turn the most impossible scenario to become possible during the hardest and hopeless challenge quests countless times for years , she's not the best, but according to me, she's perfect.
I'm saving my grails so i haven't grailed anyone yet. but i have considered it.
Here's my current Grailed servants on NA:
Level 102 Miyamoto Musashi (Saber): I started playing when Shimousa released in NA, and the very first non-tutorial banner I rolled was hers, and she showed up in two summon tickets on a Rainbow. At that point, I just considered her my good luck charm and eventually fell in love with her as a character in her story appearances. I’m eventually planning to 120 her. She just resonates for me with fond memories of starting out the game.
Level 100 Miyamoto Musashi (Berserker): I already love Musashi as a character and once I got her Zerker form and she had a hilarious reason for her existence, I knew she had to get Grails too. Maybe with 5 of them she'll have enough containers to make rice in.
Level 100 Iskandar: He is the entire reason I discovered Fate. I saw art of him online, and as someone who likes big bara types, I had to know where he came from, and he ended up being the third SSR I ever got in the game.
Level 100 Voyager: He is precious and my son and I will protect him. But seriously I love his lore and design and on both my JP and NA accounts he showed up 3 times back to back while I summoned on his banner, so I felt it only right to give him Grails.
Level 100 Van Gogh: Vincent Van Gogh is my all time favorite painter. His artwork is so captivating and otherworldly, and even when I was young I always found myself drawn to his pieces of art when I'd see them in books and the like. The episode of Doctor Who featuring him is literally my all time favorite episode of the show, so much so that I ended up buying an official print of the Starry Night-like Exploding TARDIS that's supposed to be painted by him and framing it in a huge fancy frame in my living room. Clytie is a figure I knew almost nothing about until I actually watched your video on *why* she and Vincent are fused and it blew my mind to realize the cleverness in their Servant design. Plus, once Imaginary Scramble came out - I just absolutely fell in love with Van Gogh's personality in the event - it was already not a question that I was going to Grail her to 100 before that, but that just really backed up my choice to do so.
Level 100 Sherlock Holmes: I’ve just always been a huge fan of the Holmes stories by Conan Doyle and the various adaptations of him, so I promised if I ever got him, I’d grail him to 100.
Level 100 Space Ishtar: This was half for gameplay reasons for easier looping, and half because I really love Space Ishtar’s design.
Lesser Grails - Level 90 Parvati: I just like Sakura and I think Parvati’s design is very on point.
Level 80 Antoni Salieri: Salieri's life and supposed confession to the murder of Mozart have fascinated me ever since I watched Amadeus. His character in Lostbelt 1 was so interesting and subsequently tortured by regret that I came to sympathize with him. Plus him shredding a piano to Dies Irae while you fight Ivan was absolutely top notch - so he absolutely deserved to get a Gold Card for that alone.
YES WE NEED MORE BABBEGE! I'll grail him in NA too when there will be grails
For grailed, I have
MHX Alter- I just think she is cute, and also she was my first 5☆ so I have a bit of loyalty for her and she did have a big help in the Gawain difficulty spike in Camelot
Xiang Yu- Meta reasons he's a really goos crit monkey, plus he looks sick as hell
Mandricardo- Probably my personal favorite servant, I love his underdog story and how the game tends to portray him as way stronger and more capable than he thinks himself to be, which is endearing af to me
Fuuma Kotarou- Just recently grailed him like yesterday, also personal reasons I just love his design and story, he is such a good boy
Jinako- She is #1 waifu status for me idc how "lame" she is I just love her
I’m so happy to see Abby on this list since she was my first 5 star. This was back before I’d finished part 1 of the story and she was also my first servant to bond rank 10
we've got five main grailed servants rn.
Spartacus hit that sweet spot when we were first playing of being a berserker that didn't explode as soon as a stiff wind blew past, and he was good at farming too. he saved our ass repeatedly in Camelot and the Demonic Front. guy just won't die. plus, oppression sucks, Spartacus rules.
Asterios was a late addition, but one of us empathizes with his difficulty communicating and also holy hell we had been sleeping on his noble phantasm it is so freaking strong.
100 personas is good, they deserve some love. also giving them 100 levels means there's one per persona now!
Geronimo is a really understated character, and I swear if his kit wasn't atrocious he'd be way more popular. he deserves a rework, dammit.
all of the previous servants are level 100, but Kingprotea won a competition we held to see who'd we take to 120 first, so she's currently sitting at 108. she big. it really doesn't get less complicated than that.
we also have some servants who are grailed but not past 100 like Raikou, Bunyan, Billy, Cu, and Cursed Arm. Also Andersen, who is the only servant I really regret grailing. Not that he doesn't deserve it, but he's a support, he doesn't really need the extra stats.
Grailed Tomoe. Haven’t meet a saber boss since that was even remotely a problem.
I only grailed units I like but I also went into grailing with a rule, only one from each class to start with. Right now Arash, Summer Nitocris, Arthur, Lakshmi Bai, Diarmuid, Egyptian Dio, Sheba, and Caligula are at lvl 100. Angry Banana is on his way up but I need 2 more grails to get him to 100.
Though i only started recently in NA, i got a few servants grailed allready.
-Caesar: i grailed him mostly because hes currently the only fat guy i know in fgo, but who isnt joked about too much his weight (unless you count his own remarks that it is the form is love). He's a complete goof and greedy man, but hes pretty straight forward with his money schemes (i.e nightinggale xmas event), and still strives to have a happy family with cleopatra.
-Babbage: alongside agreeing what Klidhe had said in the video, i just love his steam mech design. Im kinda sad that he dosent hit as hard as Himiko or Hijikata do, unless you buff him, but just seeing him in the battlefield is sometimes enough for me. Alongside his mannerisms, hes a servant whom wishes to see a brighter and intellectual tomorrow, which you gotta appriciate.
Likely servants for me to grail:
-Himiko: pretty much fan love (Her story made me tear up abit) and her event was my first to ever join. She's literally my power house.
-Hijikata: another powerhouse, and his character is somewhat understandable to me (and cant really go wrong with a guy who likes eating pickled goods), and overall a solid servant for me.
I grailed Paul Bunyan. I've always loved tales of Paul Bunyan, and I also love the hell out of the Learning With Manga.
When we get grail casting, I’m giving them to Cu Chulainn, Cu Chulainn, Cu Chulainn, and Cu Chulainn.
My grailed servants
Jalter: I've liked her character from the start
Meltliyits: As someone who saw the play though of CCC this lovely swan play style is fun
Passionlip: I love how sweet and sassy she is like her sis
BB: JUST BB
Mori: Fun when I use this mad lad
Izo: Same as you kildge
Ushi: Giving her headpats are fun
Charlotte Carday: Fun and a sweetheart getting her to 100 is one of my missions
Kama: Giving her love is fun
Gareth: Getting on the same lv as her fellow knight's has been great
Qin Lingnau: A play style that's rarely used and tanky servant
Nitocris: High tier wifu
I tried a strat on goetia with Asterios once and it was very interesting (even tho it didn't work lmao) so i grailed him.
So i basically grail servants who i like and/or make me happy. And i have no regrets
I wanna share my Grailed Servants too since the other two chaps did and I like seeing variations of people's reasonings for why they Grail who they Grail. And as a JP player who has been around since E Pluribus Unum first dropped, I _had_ a lot of Grails to use.
Angra Mainyu - I've been in love with his design and personality ever since I first read Hollow Ataraxia, and have made a point to always have him in story battles as the very last line of defense, even though he's almost entirely worthless (though I'll never forget finishing off Ruler Jalter in Orleans using him).
Cursed Arm Hassan - I'm a massive fan of the Hashashin characters cuz of edgy skull motifs and Cursed Arm's hilariously polite and dutiful personality when he's not on the job. He's probably the first Servant I ever Grailed and is always one of the first Assassins I put on the front lines.
Okada Izou - Same reason as Klidge, fell in love with his story and personality, especially after his Valentine event. And his second ascension is so sick.
Ryougi Shiki - Badass knife wife, and I have a strong affinity for her story in Kara no Kyoukai.
Sieg - I love him, even in Apocrypha. Yeah he's got the personality of cardboard in the anime but I still liked him, even more so as a Servant.
Saber Alter - My favorite variation of Saber and god damn it, she hits like a truck.
Antonio Salieri - The first Servant I grailed to a fat and chunky level 100, and also the first Servant I ever maxed out the active skill levels of, because I'm a sucker for Avengers and his design speaks to me.
Arjuna - I don't remember why I Grailed him honestly but I do like Arjuna a fair bit.
Jalter - I like her a lot, but the main reason I grailed her was for that thicc damage.
Oberon - The second Servant I ever grailed to 100 and the only one I grailed higher, sitting at a nice 102. I have no way of describing how much I love him without going into an entire essay. I also hate him because this bastard is the reason I, for the first time in playing FGO, ever ran out of QP, because he ate it all up while I was grailing and maxing his active skills.
Ushiwakamaru - Same reason as Klidge, down to the wording
Barghest - THICC. BRICC. DOG. KNIGHT. ONEE-SAN.
Mysterious Heroine XX - I love mechas.
Mash - Does.. does she count? I don't even think I grailed her myself, I'm pretty sure that was a game thing that just happens in the story.
Bedivere - Exact same reason as Klidge
Chloe Einzbern - I genuinely don't remember grailing her, I'm kind of sus
Caenis - Tomboy supremacy.
Boudica - I love her. I have no reason other than I love her.
Medusa (Rider) - The snek with the legg.
Gilgamesh (Caster) - If I can't fucking have Archer Gilgamesh then I sure as shit will make sure my NP5 Caster version gets pampered.
Avicebron - GoLEm
Penthesilea - Abs for days.
Gareth - I love her. She protecc, but also attack. And also, as a Monster Hunter player, her gunlance makes me very happy.
Jaguarman - Taiga is best girl and I'm eternally furious she had no route.
Cu Chulainn (Lancer and Caster) - I love him, but grailing him is also a sound strategy because he's got a damn good kit in both forms.
Asclepius - I.. I really needed a healer.
Hundred Face Hassan - Same reason as Cursed Arm, with added abs.
Sasaki Kojiro - Dragons are just larger swallows.
Nobukatsu - He's a good boy. Confused, but he's got spirit.
Phantom of the Opera - Don't judge me, I swear it seemed like a good idea at the time!
Well I am a new player so I only have one servant grailed, its Karna, I love his history, how nice and badass he is, and man the myths, his legend is simply awesome, he is like the ideal friend to have.
Servants I have grailed:
Jalter/Summer version - The reason I began playing the game, I enjoy this character archetype somewhat and I was very lucky to get them on my first 10 pull. And I got the summer version later and I adored using them.
Herc - my first 4 star that took me very far, I loved using him and I felt it was only right to give a few grails to a servant that has saved my ass on so many occasions.
Bedivere - dudes and gals in armor will always be top tier in my mind.
Servants I want to grail in future:
Barghest - read Bedivere reasoning again.
Koyanskaya (both dark and light) - A character I really liked in story and was really excited to see as a unit. Also give us the lostbelt outfits as costumes please.
Oberon - after reading LB6 he's one of my absolute favorite characters and I think his design is really cool.
My first Grail was Kojiro. He is tied with Lancer for Best Boi in OG Fate. I Grailed him because for the longest time, I had no 4* Assassins, and when I finally did pull one, it was someone I have never heard of in my life and is the lowest ranking 4-5* servant on the gamepress tier list. Then I gave him another Grail. He is almost always in my back row as a CE holder if I'm not using him.
I put one into Ozymandias. When I first pulled him, I was like "who tf is this normie human dude??" But he won me over in voice, grandeur, gameplay, and in Camelot, where he is tied for Best Boi with Arash, who also got a Grail.
I put one Grail into Caster Gilgamesh, who is the best character in Babylonia.
I started using Xiang Yu because I pulled two copies of him. Now he is one of my favorite characters, purely for gameplay reasons. I have no idea who he is or what he's done outside of the tidbits I learned from this pas summer event. He is sitting at level 96 currently.
And Saber Astolfo is sitting at level 102. I love him because he is everything I wish I was but am not.
oh god my grails,
paris, my son
okita alter, first 5 star love her personality, amazing design, best girl fight me
davinki mini, my daughter
martha, carried me and i love her design
kagetora, NYAAAAAAA
izo, same as you klidge
chen gong, i love ruthless tactics
I grailed Carmilla for one reason and one reason only. Vampire goth mommy, that is all.
Since we're sharing our own Grailed Families, I might as well share mine by Class.
1. Saber: Nero Bride (100). I'll be honest, she saved my butt early on with how my account at the time of Valentine's 1 and I appreciate how flexible she is. I still bring her along once in a while.
2. Lancer: Li Shuwen (90). This man ended up being my MVP of Shinjuku come the final fight with Moriarty and earned his Grails. Now I have him NP5, so I may consider pushing to 100 at some point.
3. Archer: Tristan (90). I was stuck between grailing him or David, but after a short test, I found Tristan to be the more fun of the two to use. Plus his character development also helped in solidifying the two Grails he earned.
4. Rider: Ushiwakamaru (90). Similar answer to what you provided, but more out of respect for Ushi over the course of time.
5a. Caster: Gilgamesh (90). Somewhat for gameplay purposes, as getting him to NP5 during Christmas 3 and coming in clutch during the first two fights with Megalos certainly helped in returning those two Grails to him. Paying forward for Babylonia, you could say.
5b. Caster: Asclepius (80). At first it was for gameplay purposes, but I came to enjoy his character growth and following Interlude. He may be a mad scientist deep down as his Valentine's scene showed, but the doc does care.
6. Assassin: Charlotte (100). The moment I saw her appearance and hearing her voice, she captured my attention. I waited patiently as I learned more of her personality and as soon as she came to NA, I knew what had to be done. Atlantis further cemented my choice to push her to 100 and wanted to cry at *that* scene. Also getting to learn a bit more of her life in the process was great and her Valentine's scene was heartwarming.
7. Berserker: Beowulf (100). This bro has not only been with me since the early days of my account, but has come in clutch more than enough times to warrant his Grails. If I didn't have other targets coming down the pipe, I would have considered pushing Beowulf to 120.
8. Avenger: Edmond Dantes (100). Loved his design when I first saw it. It's also cool how he's actually a fairly chill dude, despite his rough exterior. Plus the time he did get during Summer 3 put a shine on a more goofy side he ain't afraid to bust out once in a while.
9. Ruler: Sherlock Holmes (100). Part gameplay, part enjoying his personality and mystery surrounding him. Simple as that.
10. Alter Ego: Passionlip (100). Truth be told, Lip took a while to solidify as one of my favorites in this game. But after I did warm up to her, I found her to be endearing and wanting all of the hugs and headpats she can get. Plus her pulling through in tougher battles really helped as well.
11. Foreigner: Abagail Williams (100). The Eldritch pancake daugher deserves to be treated like family, despite her mistakes. Plus her development and struggling with her identity makes for an interesting dynamic. This was also part of a promise I made to a friend after she lost her first account, but that's another story for another time.
My Grailed Servants
Bedivere - Through an unbelievable stroke of luck, he was actually my first Servant to reach NP5, with me getting 8 copies on the Saber Wars banner. But then, he just kept bursting every Zerk or Lancer boss I encountered. So I grailed him to 80.
Then, Camelot happened. After that, he got upped to 100. Sadly, I can only get him to 104 with how the Coins work.
Paris - I'll be honest, I grailed him to 80 for kicks. Then he started dishing out hilariously large numbers with his NP, so 100 it is.
XX - I was already in love with the Servantverse Servants, and with her being a big Tokusatsu reference, along with her personality, made me fall for her. She would already be 100 if it wasn't for the next one...
Stheno - I grailed her to 90 out of boredom. Then I made stupid bet that I'll Grail her to 100 of I ever get a rateup SSR. Then... I got Van Gogh.
Kagetora - I immediately fell for her during her event. I didn't care that I didn't have any decent Arts supports at the time, she was getting raised to 100 one way or another.
Atalante - I'll be honest, this was just to make farming easier.
Atalante Alter - Her Valentine's scene made me use a Grail on her.
Summer Jalter - She was my first Bond 10, and she has clutched every boss when my front line gets wiped out.
Ushi - Ushi.
My Grailed Servants on NA
Bedivere - Of course Best boyo who i enjoyed due to his story and the way he smacks people with his prosthetic is fun
Arthur - His way of being the only Servant alone to go on a quest to deal with a beast is quite amazing
Lancelot (Saber) - Too bad his son isnt in his game the reason i put him here is because of how he kept the fact he betrayed the Lion King at the start and saving all the people Gawain was trying to dispose.
Gawain - His voice is so cool but also loved how he was all calm in Fate Extra
Tristan - He was the only person to Understand bedivere and be friends with him that i would ship him with Bedivere anytime.
Voyager - Despite the fact he is a space satellite in lore he is the cutest little chibi boyo with such a big smile.
In the future the following Servants will get Grailed when they come out
Percival - He is like a big brother and i would ask to protect me
Muramasa - Gramps with swords who wouldnt want the red hair shirou emiya with the coolest sword ever
Perseus - If He will come to the Game with Prototype Collab and i want to see how they design his multiple NPs
Galahad Alter - If they bring more Fate Requiem stuff and besides that he seems to have some interesting NP installed
Lucius Longinus - Same as above with the Fate requiem and he is like that one guy who seems to be that fatherly figure despite the fact that spear of his is strong.
Mine were Gilgamesh - cause he's got and I love the 'How dare you look down upon yourself, I have seemed you worthy of my praise and you will treat yourself as such mongrel!' outlook, Chu Chulainn (lancer)- not only for the meta but I love my blue bomber bro, and finally Jason- I love the incompetence up until his back is against the wall and from a meta angle he's a great farmer and support
