#2d trash

[novelelitist]

It’s been a while since I’ve done this or updated any of my tier lists, and by that I mean the last one was May 2018. This only includes chars that came directly to mind while I was putting it together. 

No, Toma will not ever leave this fucking chart.

10M Downloads Campaign 4-Star Sabers Breakdown

The 10M Download Campaign aired originally from September 20th 2017 to October 4th 2017. During the campaign, players receive a ticket that allows them to choose “1 4★ Servant of your choice from 42 available 4★ Servants by using the [10M Download Commemoration Ticket]“.

There are 8 classes represented on the campaign and all have valid options, so don’t make up your mind too fast unless you’re going to pick your favs. I just wanna help you pick who’s right for your team. Idk who I’m picking yet and am having the worst time picking. 

4* 10M Downloads Sabers

Artoria (Alter) | QAABB - B

General Damage

Highest 4* Saber Atk; 7th highest Atk for 4* Servant. One of strongest aoe NPs in game; has two self-steroids in her kit, but one is low-rank Charisma; Intuition is always terrible, but she has decent star gather as a Saber; mediocre HP with absolutely no defense; no team support; selfish play-style; good Mana Burst; Still strong and playable with insane Atk.

No NP interlude, animation update, strengthening, or rank-up.

Salter is about to be Bond 10 for me and is still my main Saber despite having 3 5* Saber with aoe NPs. She works well for early and mid-game content but dies with a puff of wind. I still use her because she’s a selfish high-damage Saberface. 

Gawain | QABBB - B

Damage (on Sun Stages)

2nd highest 4* Saber Atk; 9th highest Atk for all 4* Servants. Consistent damage with triple-buster deck; 1-turn Guts that’s attached to NP battery forcing you to choose; NP damage outclassed by Artoria Alter BUT NP has Skill Seal and Burn; can turn 1 NP with Kaliedoscope; party-wide attack buff; strong self-buff; low hit count and NP gain. Mediocre for anything outside of farming.

No NP interlude, animation update, strengthening, or rank-up.

NP3 Gawain and I only interact for farming or Sun stages, but his gorilla deck makes him hit hard at a consistent basis. His survivability skill being tied to NP battery is a nightmare, and the Guts is only 1 turn and that just ruins it.

Siegfried | QAABB - B

Tank, Damage (vs Dragons)

Highest HP of all 4* Servants; 5th lowest Atk of all 4* Servants. Among best Dragon-type slayers in the game; decent NP gain with Golden Rule and two Arts cards; Dragon Slayer available from start; great in Challenge Quests and hard story fights; only truly shines against dragons.

Animation and sprite update with Fate/Apocrypha campaign; Strengthening 1 upgrades Dragon Slayer from A to A++; Strengthening 2 upgrades Noble Phantasm from A+ to EX. 

I for one quite love using him to clear Dragon waves with zero effort. And he always lives longer than I expect him to.

D’eon | QAABB - A

Tank

2nd highest HP of 4* Sabers; 3rd highest HP 4* Servant. Taunt is locked to 3rd Ascension; deals little-to-no damage; NP has hard time proc’ing; high HP and decent self-heal skill; nearly immune to debuffs; charm/taunt skill and evade skill synergy; can tank hits and care for themselves, but it’s the only thing they can do.

Animation and sprite update came with Agartha. Strengthening quest upgrades NP from C to C+.

I love D’eon as a character, but the only thing they can do is tank where there are other Servants with more versatility that do their job better. I don’t find myself using them frequently. 

Suzuka | QAABB - B

Single-Target or Wave Damage, Late-Game Content

Decent stats that don’t favor too heavily either way. Combines waveclear and single-target crits; has no trouble doing burst damage, but specializes at extended battles; self-sufficient; Sure Hit built in; niche anti-male ability; slow to get going; has nonexistent defense; weaknesses can be easily compensated for; good enough to be useful in nearly any situation.

No NP interlude, animation update, strengthening, or rank-up.

Nero | QAABB - A

Soloing, Survival

4th highest HP of 4* Sabers. Super rare triple-use Guts to buy turns; survivability kit with Migraine and Imperial Privilege; slightly above-average NP gen for 4* Sabers; Migraine’s Rank Up improves Imperial Privilege’s usefulness; can’t block incoming damage, so can have trouble using skills optimally; inconsistency due to random nature of Imperial Privilege.

Battle animation and Sprite Update with Nero Fest 2016. Interlude 2 upgrades NP rank from B- to B. Interlude 3 gives third skill, Thrice-Setting Sun. Strengthening replaces Migraine B with Goblet of Wealth B, which adds a NP battery and Arts boost. Receives Olympian Bloomers Costume Dress.

Rama | QAABB - B

Single-Target Damage

3rd highest HP 4* Saber. Vanilla stat spread. Low hit count with low NP gen and Star gen per hit; has a hard time charging his own NP or generating his own stars; consistent high single-target damage; occasionally does obscene damage without warning between crits and buffs; party-wide attack buff feels good; survives difficult fights with third skill (3-turn guts that revives with 1k then heals for 1k-3k); easily-compensated weaknesses, but feels vanilla and hard-to-use.

Battle animation, sprite, and dialogue update with Lostbelt 4.

If you get the critical stars and NP charge for him, he deals absurd damage. His first skill guarantees star gather and boosts crit damage by 100% on a 4-turn cooldown. He’s time-bomb going off every few turns.

Lancelot | QAABB - A

Single-Target Damage

3rd highest 4* Saber Atk; 11th highest attack of all 4* Servants. Kit is geared to star gen, star absorb, and crit damage; frequent crits allow him to utilize NP frequently despite low NP gain; consistent damage at a rate competing against 5* Sabers; zero defense ability or durability; skills being on cooldown cause huge dip in consistency and damage--his NP gauge fills way slower and he deals significantly less damage without crits; no damage boosts outside his NP and his crits.

No NP interlude, animation update, strengthening, or rank-up. NP Rank changed from A++ to A August 2017.
