Arts or Buster?

I have trouble deciding since I love the NP animations so I wanted to get an Arts team to spam and spam NPs. But the high levelled servants I have are the Buster ones. Should I try to get Summer Mordred and hope for stray Saberlot and Vlad or go for Summer Kiyo/Tamamo then keep a low profile and roll for Merlin?

Note: I am F2P and just tried the Anniversary Gatcha then got Jack.

Saber: Arthuria, Rama
Archer: Nobu, Emiya
Lancer: Eli

Berserker: Cu Alter, Heracles
Caster: Halloween Liz

Arts

Assassin: Shuten, Shiki
Berserker: Asterios

Just looking at the servants you listed, you lack a single target Lancer, so got for Kiyolancer/Tamamo. Plus summer mordred is in the same banner.
You don't always need a Arts team to spam NP, look at Jack and Tamamo lancer, their NP charge up pretty fast even not in arts team.
The idea is not whether to have a buster team or an arts team, it is what you are fighting against. With your servants, if I am fighting against lancer, I would not force a arts team. The idea is to pick your attacker for that stage and build around him/her.
And if you want to spam NP, just bring a kaleidoscope

I see. Thank you. Maybe I am just a little bugged out if I cannot do the Buster/Arts chains to get max card effectiveness.

You will just have to work around it. Even arts team or buster team can't always get a chain and is not always effective to get a chain. Try to have an arts card in the front followed by 2 quick card from Jack or Tamamo lancer, you will be amazed at how much NP and stars you get.

Well if you like playing with arts team go for it, the game isn't nearly hard enough to where it matters what you pick.

You can already make a couple good arts teams off the back? Well first off you already have the premier arts support in tamamo and you already have 2 great damage dealers with her in Orion and shiki. So yeah just use them and for general use a support waver or tamamo to nuke something with double fox's wedding. You don't have to go full arts team remeber, so have hercules and other survival servants in the back.

As for the rolling you really don't need it (Unless the like the characters). If you want to roll purely from a game play perspective then you could try for either archerturia best arts archer in the game (but not needed since you already have orion) or merlin for the buster memes.

Also, don't be afraid to run a mix of both or so, no one can give you a team that can purely beat every single event and mission since class advantage is a thing.

I mean I got through most of camelot just using orion/tamamo/waver and for certain fights against lancers/rulers I would switch to (support) waver/jalter/hans with in both having herc(no bond ce) in the back and other survivors that could replace hans or jalter.

Oh thanks. And I do appreaciate Tamamo and Orion especially. They carried me over to Camelot vs Gawain, Tristan and Saberlot. NP spam to the Max with the Mage's Association Mystic Code.

Yeah same, was just editing my answer to say how they carried me. But yeah I would just stick with arts team they don't get hit nearly as hard as quick does in the merlin apocalypse and I personally enjoy using arts teams a lot more since it just feels good to np spam every couple turns.
Most of the time I also uses the mage's code for a different reason of card counting and how the 3rd skills re draws all the cards making getting the correct chains easier.

Emiya and Martha function well in an arts team with 3 arts cards. Also, agreed with the other response, not really much need to completely build a team around 1 card type, rather use the best you have against any particular enemy. And yeah, rider Mordred and Kiyo lancer/Tamamo lancer are in the same banner.

BTW, most importantly, if you really want more arts servants that badly, roll specifically for them. Not a great idea to depend on chance spooks to get specific servants.

On a completely unrelated note, I'm jealous. I've been dying to build a good buster team but almost everything I have belongs in an arts team.

Most of them is free. Herc came from the free 4s ticket provided to the 1st players of FGo when they started. Emiya is from the 3m downloads campaign. Nobu, Santa Alter and Halloween Eli are from their respective events. I got Rama when I rolled on the Anniversary Banner and Cu Alter shortly when I tried for another roll since I'm pissed with Rama. It's just luck, and maybe because I started earlier?

Yeah, it really is just luck. Ironically enough, I have two of the servants you said you wanted, Saberlot, and Vlad at NP2. I got the second copy of him from the paid gacha and was really annoyed lol. I have a few other arts servants too, like Jeanne and Da Vinci (both of whom I got when rolling FOR Cu Alter). Unfortunately no Tamamo though, and in that regard you've actually got the centrepiece to almost every good arts team.

I got both Tamamo and Jeanne and all i need was an attacker arts servants. I only have Assassin Shiki as my sole attack arts servant. I rolled for Guaranteed 5★ and got Nurserker who is arts berserker but not for arts team
