Looking for team-building inspiration

Hi guys,

I feel I've built up a fair pool of servants and I'm steadily raising up my strongest ones, I'm starting to realise that I need to prioritise more and focus on building up servants who will certainly be useful in building up proper teams (Arts crit, Buster crit, Arts NP spam etc.).

A basic arts team including mash, saberlot, and andersen got me through a LOT of the last two singularities, but unfortunately I don't have any teams which could easily farm the solomon raids. I would like to see what other teams I can pull together from my existing set of servants, this could possibly help me gain an idea of what I should roll for in the GSSR banner (Thinking Assassin/Extra atm as either Jack or Jeanne would be appreciated).

Here are some of the notable servants for each class (More info and servants on profile):
Saber: Artoria, Mordred, Lancelot
Archer: Ishtar, Emiya, Tristan, Tesla
Lancer: Artoria, Li Shuwen, Fionn
Rider: Ozymandias, Anne/Mary (NP 2)
Assassin: Carmilla (NP 3), Cleopatra
Caster: Andersen (NP 5), Merlin, Da Vinci, Illya
Berserker: Heracles (NP 4!), Lancelot (NP 2), Nightingale
Extra: Mash (10/10/10), No Rulers or Avengers

There are others in my pool I can train up, but these are the ones who have been built up a reasonable amount already. Any suggestions at all would be appreciated!

I should note, I realise I'm too late to build teams for the solomon raids, I'm just looking towards future content.

From what I know of the current JP server, it seems that consistentency is key. Probably due to Merlin breaking the game. You probably already know this, but there will be an introduction of multi hp bar enemies, meaning you can’t buster grit everything to death with jalter double Merlin. I can’t think of any event like Solomon, but a basic farming team is appreciated at any time. I’d recommend Arash with a starting np CE, and people seem to recommend Spartacus and Eric as well. Slap some starting np CEs on them and they’d probably do fine too. I think Solomon is unique in this type of farming, but just in case, a Herc + Shakespeare would probably do ok for farming, depending on the enemy.

Thanks for the reply! Just wanted to elaborate on a couple of points.

When you say consistency, what are the key points? Do you mean NP spammability, low skill CDs, base crit star generation..?

Thanks for the recommendation regarding the lower tier servants for farming, I have a bad habit of overlooking them and they are probably easier to raise than some of the other servants.

Would you say that, due to lack of Jack and a Rider, Assassin/Extra banner would be best for the GSSR at new year?

One more thing I guess would be: farm mats for skills or ascensions first?

Not the OP but from what I can tell, most high tiered servants are those who offer support in team composition. In the future, AoE servants are mostly utilized due to multiple enemies with break bars. As of now, we may not have to worry about AoE kills since break bars are new to us.

Assassin/Extra is a good deal since you like Jack or Jeanne. But Carmilla works fine especially since you have her at NP3. I can recommend Caster since they have Waver and Tamamo. While Tamamo is a great caster support for arts team, you really can't rely for farming unless you have Summer Mordred. Waver+Merlin+DPS is a god-tier setup, but Waver will come when you least expect him (still salty). Ozy is fine, much more now that you have Merlin. For your AoE rider, you could use Medusa or Alexander, or if you have Santa Alter, she works very well.

In terms of skills or ascension mats for farming, it is kinda equal to me. I have no need most of the time to farm ascension mats since I don't level all of my servants, I focus on one servant at a time, so yeah skills for me. As long as they are 6/6/6, they are good.

I would say you have no weaknessess there and you can smooth sailing most FGO content with those servants, also GSSR is probably just to add another servant for your collection. It's more than enough, but if you still want to roll for the next GSSR i recommend to roll for Caster banner.

Here's some servant that maybe can help enhancing your team strengths :

Raise some lowstars like Caesar/Blackbeard for team buff, Leonidas for Buster tank and can help you with some survivability.
Asterios and Mata Hari for massive debuff.
Paracelsus and Mozart for the Art Support, Paracelsus is also useful for 3 turn farm set up.

I found some interesting things here, if you want consistently it depend on your playstyle, team members kit/build and enemy gimmicks or stage mechanics.

Probably your most consistent team comps is something like adding a passive Crit gen CEs like 2030 or for the NP spam you can use Divine Banquet for your spammer ( MLB Divine Banquet is very strong ).
For the Crit utility you can use something like Onigashima 4 Crit star per turn + Crit damage ( farmable event CEs and i forgot the name lol ).
You also have been mentioned some way to do it, like low CD, NP Spammability, base Crit star generation or something like that ( hit count, NP gain when being hit, bossess with multiple hit or etc ).

Also, my personal favorite Buster Crit team is to use Hans + friends Merlin + Gilgamesh + Caesar/Mozart.
I'm not gonna use Anniversary Blonde ( not too satisfied with 20 Crit star and a single Buster buff, Caesar can add Atk Up + NP Up + Crit damage up + better Crit star drop for my Gilgamesh ).
For me, 20 ++ Crit Star per turn is better than a single 20 Star for just a turn.
With Caesar 3rd skill i don't need someone like Fuuma or Jack, because his 3rd skill add bonus Crit damage + 40 % and Crit star drop rate 100 % plus Gilgamesh hit count is totally ridiculous. The skill CD is low, it's just 2 turn CD with 3 turn duration !
It's also something that has a touch of consistency in my team, low CD + good Crit chance for every turn ( even my supp can Crit ! ) + better survivability ( Stun + Merlin 2nd skill + HP regen ) + swapping tactics if i want another team saver or another damager + another steroid buffer.

Use Mozart for OTK some bossess with your Saberlot.

To put it more simply, you can change that Gil to your Ozy ( any Buster Crit based servant or even your Lancelot ) and it's pretty much one my most dependable team on most challenges and hard contents.

Don't forget to raise some lowstars that really support your playstyle !
