Advice on GSSR

Good day, I would like some advice on the upcoming GSSR banner.
I am a free to play who started during Prisma event. Here is my pool of 4 and 5 stars servants.

Saber: Brave Liz
Archer: Chloe
Lancer: Enkidu, Lancer Liz, Jeanne Alter Lily
Rider: Santa Alter
Caster: Merlin, Sanzang, Nitocris
Assassin: Cleo
Berserker: Raikou, Heracles

With the upcoming welfare (Nobu/Kintoki) in mind, here are my thoughts for the banners:

Saber: This is my weakest class, however, Raikou/Nitocris have been fulfilling my AoE needs and all of them are AoE Sabers.

Archer: Chloe is a great welfare, Tesla would be great but I might pull for Gil someday.

Lancer: I think I am covered for now.

Rider: I heard Kintoki is as good as a 5 star especiallly with free NP5. Santa Alter's NP5 is also as strong as NP1 ST. This banner looks good but I am not sure if Rider should be my top priorty.

Caster: I want my own Waver. Chloe is my only Arts servant so Tamamo might not be so useful. NP2 Sanzang is not ideal...

Assassin: I have no SQ for King Hassan. Jack would be great. I have no use for Jeanne. Would Cleo with Merlin support be as good as Jack?

Berserker: I want Cu Alter because I think he would be my universal single target boss killer. Also he doesn't have any single rate up and he cant spook you as he is story locked. This is probably my best chance of getting him. Nightingale might not be so useful with Merlin, and Vlad doesnt fit into my team at all.

I appreciate any input on this.

Thank you

well as a f2p who is going to roll for the gsrr for the first time too xD i would say:
either roll for assasin or rider
riders :ozy , quetz , drake and medb 3 out of the 4 are good
assasins : hope you get jack
as you said the available sabers aren't that good and your archer class is well covered i would say and except tesla the others aren't that good so ..

in my case i will roll for a caster since i have no 5star caster and all of them are good

ps: cleo is really good but jack is just an op star generator but i would stay cleo is more than enought
you don't really need cu alter since you have 2 of the best berserks available
i hope i could help :D

Just food for thought,
While none are game breaking, the sabers are all new for you and work well with Merlin. Less Fragile than Raikou despite how hard she can hit.
2 of the 4 Riders are top tier if you exclude Merlin and Waver. As someone with NP1 Merlin, Ozy, Drake and np5 Kintoki rider, Can confirm even with Ozy skills mostly maxed, Kintoki NP hits harder than Ozy's. As far as I remember it hit at least twice as hard. Merlin can't negate that difference, although Ozy is a better team player and has better synergy with Merlin.
Both Caster and berserker banner- sounds like a 66.66% chance of disappointment. Is it worth the risk when you can definitely get something new, at worst, a servant who is good, and useful?

Cu alter is good, but nightingale and vlad probably aren't the best for you right now. Waver isn't as high a priority for you as others since you have Merlin.

While Santa alter is fine as a rider, three out of the four riders in that banner perform better than her: Ozy is good at both offence and support with a very rare buff in his third skill that nothing else in the game can give you, Quetz is more consistent with her damage and Drake, while probably not having as much np damage as np5 Santa, can easily spam her Np and can also net you lots of fp when her skills are levelled.

I would've actually recommended assassin + extra for you since both servants on it are good (or, Jeanne becomes good later on), especially since you don't have the sq for king Hassan. Cleo + Merlin is good, but fundamentally different from Jack. I get the sense that you guage performance by damage, in which case, I don't think so (don't quote me on that one though, I didn't run any numbers).

That said, if you don't want to roll assassin banner, I would recommend rider, then caster, then berserker, in that order.

Thank you for your inputs. After reading more, I have summarized the key points.

Saber: My weakest class. 100% upgrades, but not game breaking servants. There are no upcoming 5 stars AoE Saber that would powercreep them, neither will there be any AoE welfare Saber in 2 years.

Rider: 75% upgrade except Melb. Welfare Kintoki coming in 6 months. But overall servant quality better than Saber banner especially Ozy and Quetz, and they work better with Merlin than Kintoki.

Caster: Waver will be good. Even though I have not many Arts servant now, Tamamo is still the best Arts support.

Assassin/Extra: Both are good servant, especially Jack. But not sure how they are going to work with my current team.

I think I will give up on Cu Alter for now.

Since my roster is not very strong at the moment, rolling Waver, together with Merlin, will give me the flexibility of using any strong grailed/high NP attackers from my Friend List. As a F2P, I dont foresee myself having a NP5 Lv 100 Jalter or Gil at all. Is this a good reason to roll for Waver over great servants like Ozy or Jack even though the chances are lower?

Any further suggestions are welcomed!

Your list sort of screams Rider (in my opinion)
Saber wouldn't be a bad option either because they all work well with Merlin (Even Ecskcalibur Pendragon)
So in my opinion, go for Rider and if you don't like it, go Saber because basically all the other classes are filled in with decent to great servants.
