Understanding the FGO Tier Rankings

When I first started playing FGO, tier lists confused me. Now, after years of experience, I've developed this ranking system that actually makes sense:

EX Tier - The Meta Definers

These servants don't just excel - they completely reshape how you play the game. If you have them, your entire strategy revolves around their broken kits.

A+ Tier - The Specialists

Nearly as powerful as EX tier but typically excel in specific scenarios rather than being universally dominant. Still worth every Saint Quartz.

A Tier - The Reliable Workhorses

My go-to servants for 90% of content. They might not break the game, but they'll never let you down.

B+ Tier - The Solid Choices

Great servants that shine with proper support. Many are fantastic budget options or excel in their specific niches.

B Tier - The Decent Options

Perfectly usable servants that get the job done. Not your first choice, but not disappointments either.

C+ to C Tier - The Bench Warmers

Reserved for servants that struggle to find their place in the current meta. Some might surprise you in very specific situations.

Complete Servant Analysis - Every Unit Reviewed

FGO Best Servants Tier List (2025) Fate:Grand Order Classes

EX Tier Servants - The Absolute Best

Amor Caren (Ruler)

This Valentine's 2025 servant isn't just powerful - she's a complete game-changer. With party-wide NP charge, Arts support, and damage dealing all in one kit, she makes every team better. Her ability to provide 60% total charge over time while buffing Arts cards makes her invaluable for both farming and challenge quests. I've been using her non-stop since release, and she trivializes content that used to require specific team comps.

Ashiya Douman (Alter Ego)

I underestimated him at first, but Douman's kit is absolutely insane. His chance-based unlimited Guts mechanic paired with strong AoE damage makes him nearly unkillable while dishing out consistent damage. Perfect for both farming and difficult content. What really sells him is the flexibility - use him as your main DPS or as a cockroach that refuses to die while your other servants do the heavy lifting.

Space Ishtar (Avenger)

The queen of versatility. Being able to switch between Arts, Quick, and Buster means she fits into literally any team composition. Combined with her strong NP gain and damage, she's the ultimate farmer who never goes out of style. I have her at NP5 and she's been my most-used servant for three years running. If you can only get one servant to high NP levels, make it Space Ishtar.

Morgan (Berserker)

Everything about Morgan screams "overpowered." Overcharge effects on skills, party-wide buffs, strong NP damage, and even utility with buff removal. She's basically three servants rolled into one, and that's before considering her Berserker class advantage against everything. The fact that she can loop her NP with minimal support while also supporting the team is just unfair. Easily worth whaling for if you have the budget.

Kukulkan (Foreigner)

The servant who redefined Buster looping. With built-in NP charge and the ability to change field types, she enables farming compositions that were previously impossible. If you're serious about efficient farming in 2025, she's non-negotiable. Her damage is also surprisingly good for a support-oriented servant, making her viable as a DPS in a pinch.

Larva/Tiamat (Alter Ego)

Don't let the cute appearance fool you - Tiamat is a farming monster. Her NP's unique scaling based on remaining HP bars makes her incredibly efficient for wave clearing, especially in irregular nodes. Plus, that class advantage against the three knight classes is chef's kiss. I initially skipped her banner and immediately regretted it when I saw what she could do.

Kama (Assassin)

Simply the best Quick Assassin in the game, period. Her charm-lock potential, massive damage against Alter Egos, and incredible NP gain make her unstoppable. I've used her to trivialize content that should've been impossible. The fact that she also functions as a semi-support with her charm skills just adds to her value. Every account needs a Kama.

Tamamo-no-Mae (Caster)

The OG Arts support who refuses to be powercrept. Skill cooldown reduction, NP drain, healing, Arts buffs - she enables Arts teams like no other servant can. Pair her with any Arts DPS and watch the magic happen. Even in the age of Castoria, Tamamo remains irreplaceable for stall teams and certain loop setups. True waifu material who's also meta.

A+ Tier Servants - The Elite Performers

Demon King Nobunaga (Avenger)

Anti-Divine specialist extraordinaire. When facing Divine enemies (which is surprisingly often), she deletes them from existence. Her star generation for an Avenger is also surprisingly good. The only reason she's not EX tier is her niche nature, but within that niche, she's unmatched. Plus, her animations are absolutely sick.

Enkidu (Lancer)

The ultimate solo servant. Perfect hitcounts, crit potential, healing, debuff removal - give them a good CE and watch them solo content that would destroy full teams. Their anti-Divine niche is just icing on the cake. I've cleared so many challenge quests by just throwing Enkidu at them and going to make coffee.

James Moriarty (Ruler)

The evil professor brings a unique mix of support and damage. His ability to boost Evil allies while dealing respectable damage himself creates interesting team compositions. His NP also packs a surprising punch for a support-oriented servant. If you like playing with evil-aligned teams, he's your best friend.

Medusa (Saber)

Summer Medusa completely changed how I approach stall teams. Her combination of healing, guts, and damage makes her incredibly hard to kill while still contributing meaningful damage. Her NP's instant death chance is just a bonus that occasionally wins fights instantly. Grail-worthy for Medusa fans.

Sakata Kintoki (Berserker)

The golden boy of Buster nuking. Simple kit, massive damage, job done. He's been around since launch and still hits like a truck filled with trucks. His 50% battery means instant NP turn one, perfect for farming or deleting a problematic first wave boss. If it absolutely needs to die turn one, send in Golden.

Super Orion (Archer)

Forget everything you know about Archers - Orion is a Buster crit monster who happens to have class advantage against Sabers. His damage potential is absolutely insane when properly supported. The only downside is he needs support to really shine, but when he does, nothing survives. I've seen him hit for over 2 million damage on a single Buster crit.

Tezcatlipoca (Assassin)

The Aztec god brings unprecedented farming potential to the Assassin class. His unique mechanics and strong damage output make him perfect for both farming and boss killing. What really sets him apart is his ability to enable other servants with his unique buffs. Definitely worth rolling for if you need a strong AoE Assassin.

Van Gogh (Foreigner)

The most unique support in the game. Her curse-stacking mechanics enable team compositions that shouldn't work but somehow do. She's not for everyone, but if you enjoy experimenting with weird teams, Van Gogh opens up entirely new possibilities. Plus, her design is absolutely gorgeous.

Vlad III (Berserker)

The vampire king proves that Arts Berserkers can work. With proper support (especially Castoria), he becomes an NP spamming machine that also happens to hit incredibly hard. His vampirism skill providing healing and NP charge just adds to his sustainability. One of the few Berserkers you can safely bring to longer fights.

Astraea (Ruler)

The boxing saint brings incredible value as a 4-star Ruler. Her anti-Evil niche combined with solid damage and good survivability makes her perfect for dealing with troublesome Avenger or Berserker bosses. The fact that she's storylocked makes her harder to NP5, but even at NP1 she performs admirably.

Habetrot (Rider)

Don't sleep on the bride maker - she's one of the best farming supports in the game. Her ability to swap herself out after buffing makes her perfect for enabling various farming compositions. Plus, being a welfare means everyone can get her at NP5. I use her more than many of my 5-star servants.

Helena Blavatsky (Caster)

Mahatma remains one of the most universal supports in the game. 20% party charge, rainbow buffs, and even decent damage on her NP. She's the swiss army knife of supports - not the best at anything specific but good at everything. Perfect for newer players who need a versatile support.

Nitocris (Caster)

The pharaoh of instant death farming. While instant death is unreliable against servants, it works wonders against bronze enemies. Her 100%+ battery also makes her incredibly flexible for farming. Even when instant death fails, her NP hits reasonably hard. Essential for efficient daily farming.

Sakata Kintoki (Rider)

Welfare Kintoki remains one of the best free servants ever released. 50% battery on a Quick servant with good generation stats makes him incredibly versatile. Being single target also helps him find use in boss fights. If you missed him, you missed out on one of the game's best freebies.

Cu Chulainn (Caster)

Who says 3-stars can't be amazing? Caster Cu brings exceptional survivability and utility for a bronze servant. His ability to solo content rivals that of his Lancer version, but with better utility for the team. I've grailed mine to 100 and have zero regrets - he's earned it through countless clutch victories.

Paracelsus (Caster)

The philosopher's stone of Arts looping. His targetable NP gain buff enables so many servants to loop that otherwise couldn't. Being a 3-star makes him easily accessible and NP5-able. He's not flashy, but he's the backbone of many farming setups. Every account should have him maxed.

A Tier Servants - The Reliable Workhorses

Achilles (Rider)

The fastest hero brings both speed and power. His unique combination of NP charge, Quick buffs, and solid damage makes him perfect for farming. His skills also provide surprising utility with taunt and invincibility. The only downside is his weird deck layout, but you learn to work around it.

Altera (Saber)

The OG alien remains solid even years later. Her straightforward kit of damage buffs and defense down makes her reliable if not exciting. Her NP upgrade helped her stay relevant, dealing respectable damage to all enemies. She's vanilla ice cream - not fancy, but sometimes that's exactly what you want.

Altria Pendragon (Saber)

The face of Fate finally got the buffs she deserved. With her battery and improved NP damage, she's now a competent farmer. Is she the best? No. But she's Saber, and sometimes that's all the reason you need. Plus, her animations are beautiful after the update.

Altria Pendragon (Archer)

Summer Artoria shows what happens when you give Saber a water gun. Excellent NP gain, good damage, and surprising survivability make her a top-tier Archer. Her ability to spam her NP with proper support is frightening. Also, she's just fun to use with her beach volleyball attacks.

Archetype: Earth (Moon Cancer)

Arc brings unprecedented power to the Moon Cancer class. Her ability to gain extra attacks and her unique buff stacking make her incredibly powerful in the right situations. She's complex to use optimally, but the payoff is worth it. Plus, being Arc, she has that Tsukihime fan appeal.

Beni-enma (Saber)

The cooking birb brings more than just delicious food. Her anti-Chaotic niche covers a surprising number of enemies, and her support capabilities make her valuable even outside her niche. Her heal is also one of the best in the game. Absolutely adorable and absolutely deadly.

Cu Chulainn Alter (Berserker)

The Mad Dog of Culann lives up to his reputation. Incredible survivability for a Berserker combined with strong damage output makes him perfect for difficult content. His ability to solo is legendary, rivaling even his Lancer counterpart. When you absolutely need something dead and don't care about class advantage, Cu Alter is your man.

Dioscuri (Saber)

The twin gods bring Quick power to the Saber class. Their ability to spam their NP while buffing themselves makes them incredibly consistent damage dealers. The anti-Divine niche is just a bonus. Their unique mechanics also make them fun to use, switching between twins for different effects.

Ereshkigal (Lancer)

The goddess of the underworld combines damage and support in interesting ways. Her ability to buff the party while dealing damage makes her valuable in many compositions. The fact that she's also incredibly cute is totally unrelated to her tier placement, I swear. Her Christmas variant only made people love her more.

First Hassan (Assassin)

"Hand over thy head" remains one of the most terrifying NPs in the game. Instant death chances aside, his raw damage and survivability make him incredible for difficult content. Being Buster in a Quick-dominated class also helps him stand out. When you need an Assassin for serious content, accept no substitutes.

Francis Drake (Rider)

The pirate queen refuses to age poorly. 50% battery, good damage, star generation, healing - Drake does everything. She's been a farming staple since launch and shows no signs of slowing down. Her cheerful personality is infectious too. BBA deck is weird but you work with what you've got.

Galatea (Berserker)

The statue come to life brings Arts power to the Berserker class. Her ability to loop her NP while maintaining Berserker-class damage is impressive. She requires specific supports but rewards you with consistent performance. Also, her ascension art is gorgeous. Pygmalion has good taste.

Ganesha (Moon Cancer)

Team Building Tips

After ranking all these servants, here's what I've learned about building effective teams:

  1. Support is King - Even EX tier DPS servants perform better with proper support. Invest in support servants first.
  2. Class Advantage Matters - A B tier servant with class advantage often outperforms an A tier servant without it.
  3. NP Levels Are Important - For non-support servants, NP2+ makes a huge difference. Plan your rolls accordingly.
  4. Don't Neglect Low Rarities - Many 3-star and below servants punch way above their weight class. They're easier to NP5 too.
  5. Build for Content - Farming teams and challenge quest teams are completely different. Don't try to make one team do everything.

How to Use This FGO Tier List

This tier list reflects the current 2025 meta, but remember:

  • Your Favorites Matter - Any servant can work with enough investment. If you love them, use them.
  • Context is Everything - Some lower-tier servants become gods in specific situations.
  • Updates Change Things - Rank-ups and interludes can completely change a servant's tier placement.
  • Your Account Matters - The servants you have access to matter more than theoretical tier placements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the strongest servant in FGO 2025?

While tier lists vary, Space Ishtar, Morgan, and Kukulkan consistently rank at the top due to their versatility and powerful kits. However, "strongest" depends on the content you're facing and your available supports.

Are tier lists accurate for FGO?

Tier lists provide general guidelines based on servant performance, but they're not absolute. A servant's effectiveness depends heavily on team composition, available CEs, and specific content. I recommend using tier lists as starting points, not gospel.

Should I only roll for EX tier servants?

Absolutely not! While EX tier servants are powerful, many A and B tier servants excel in specific niches or with proper support. Plus, playing with your favorites is half the fun of FGO. I've cleared all content with my grailed Medusa because I love her.

How often do tier lists change in FGO?

Tier lists typically update when new servants release, existing servants get upgrades, or the meta shifts significantly. In 2025, expect major changes every 2-3 months, especially during anniversary and seasonal events.

Can I succeed in FGO without top tier servants?

Yes! FGO is designed so that all content can be cleared with free and low-rarity servants. Many players enjoy the challenge of using only bronze servants. Team composition and strategy matter more than individual servant tiers.

Why do different tier lists rank servants differently?

Different tier lists prioritize different things - some focus on farming efficiency, others on challenge quest performance, and some consider versatility above all. This tier list balances all aspects while considering the 2025 meta.

Do tier lists consider NP levels?

Most tier lists, including this one, assume NP1 for gacha servants and NP5 for welfare servants. Higher NP levels can significantly boost a servant's effective tier, especially for damage dealers.


Remember, FGO is ultimately about having fun with your favorite servants. While this tier list can guide your rolling and raising decisions, never let it stop you from using the servants you love. Some of my most memorable moments came from using "low tier" servants to beat difficult content.

Happy rolling, and may the gacha gods bless your summons in 2025!
