Raid Drop Map and List

In short:

Complete the first few Main Quests to unlock the Raid content.

The Raid-Wide skill for each boss can be cast at the start of an encounter versus any of the other bosses as long as the original boss with the corresponding Raid-Wide skill is still alive.
The Raid-wide skill associated with each boss will not trigger for that Pillar itself. Presumably, when fighting Forneus the frontline won't be debuffed with Buster Down, etc.

The drop rates listed above are based on the work of a single person from the Reddit & Atlas Institute community who manually put the raw data together from screenshots and streams from the other localizations. A really impressive piece of work from Dprovine/Lyinne that can be found in this Reddit thread or in the raw data here.

That data is based on other servers however, the actual drop rates can be followed on the NA Drop Data Sheet. Please consider helping out, or making use of some of the various farming aids! It's also going to be very useful for tracking the approximate time in which the Barba-- I mean, the various pillars will die.

Servant Recommendations Table

See the Servant Recommendations Guide for explanations for the placements. But note that performance will vary somewhat based on NP levels and bond levels.
A very useful tool for figuring out the damage potential of your roster is fiddling with the FGO calculator. Please make a copy of your own to try out various combinations.

Raid Progress

The Atlas Academy put together a neat graph based on NA's clearing speed that shows when the next Pillar will fall.

We can also make some educated guesses based on the drops and the kill order of other servers regarding which order the bosses will be killed in. Take all this with a massive grain of salt:
