If you want to know who to get with the 3M Download campaign...

...just get Herc.

In all seriousness:
- Don't get Sieg unless you need a tank-Saber for Lancer-only content.
- d'Eon is a niche tank-Saber, but there are better options for more situations.
- Get Emiya if David is your best Archer.
- Elizabeth is great for supporting your Buster teams, and is decent at farming Archer nodes. If you're wondering how she holds up to Li, Li is a better single-target damage dealer than she is.
- Marie is a weird Rider tank and support. She doesn't do much damage and really don't have much else to offer.
- Martha has terrible damage, a subpar NP in all regards, but can help your TamamoCat, Fran, or Jeanne recover after their NP. That's pretty much the only thing she's got going for her.
- Stheno is pretty bad compared to most SR Assassins, like Shiki or even Emiya. Carmilla is a much better option here. Her only niche is her taunt, which her sister does better.
- Carmilla's damage output and ability to burst down females makes her a much better choice than Stheno.
- Get Heracles if you need an SR that can help you with challenges and bosses down the line. He's like a Cu that can deal damage across the board. His bond CE is bonkers.
- Tamamo Cat is a nice farming Berserker, but her NP puts her out of the game unless you can cleanse it. Honestly, there are better options here, but she makes a strong showing for Buster-type zerkers.

In short, get Herc if you don't have him, or otherwise just get whoever you want. Most of this lineup is pretty meh, with Herc and Carmilla being the best options, while Emiya, d'Eon, Elizabeth, and Tamamo Cat being nice secondary picks.

The overwhelming consensus I've seen is to stay away from either Rider, Seigfried, or Stheno, unless you absolutely need them for something, or they're your Waifus.

Archer Nodes, not Lancer ;)

Corrected, thank you. I did this while at work, so there are errors. D:

Just wanted to add some future preferences on your avoided list, altho these are only my 2 cents:
1. Martha will have another skill upgrade which unlock her 3rd skill, a Def debuff and buff removal, combined with AoE debuff removal plus debuff resistance, and you have a good support rider there, and a NP upgrade on distant future. She works well in arts team despite her buster NP.
2. Marie is like Cu in Rider class with her 2nd skill. Like you said, she's weird and doesn't do much damage, but she also provides heal and debuff removal on her NP, and a crit buff on her NP on distant future.
3. Have you build a party with Sieg, George, and Waver? Aslo Merlin if he's already released here (and ofc you can borrow friend's Waver or Merlin). He'll get two upgrade on his NP and his 3rd skill that will make him much better. With George there, everyone is dragon with no exception 🤣
4. Stheno is good for charmlock setup with her sisters, you may take a look at some of JP Challenge Quest which is an interesting setup rather than nuking with OP Servants. Also she'll have a 3rd skill which is 40% atk buff for divine servants from rank up quest some times in the future.
