I need some advice on the GSSR servant pull. At the moment I am fine with Saber servants Altria Saber and Mordered, Rider servants, Drake and Iskander, Archer Servants Arjuna and Altria Archer, and Berserker Servant NightingGale.

I was lucky enough to get Merlin which is great however. What I really need is either a supporting caster, lancer or Assassin servant.

I call either pull the Caster banner and try to get Zhuge or Tamamo which are both great and will support my servant pull even more (altria archer arts spam) but I am afraid I used up all my luck on Merlin and be stuck with Xuanzang who is someone who I really do not need.

Or I can pull the Assassin banner and get Jack who is the best critical star generator in the game and goes well with Merlin critical star support. Plus Jack has a good np gain with arts, quick, quick. Even if I do get Jeanne and not Jack, Jeanne is still a good study servant who can't be killed with Mash and Merlin paired together.

Finally is the Lancer servant banner. However, I know Enkidu does not really go well with Merlin except his NP gain and Single Target NP with Merlin buster. But I am not sure if Karna or Altria Lancer are good enough as their NP is AOE and I want a single target. But I do need a lancer servant as I do not even have a 4 star one.

Also I plan on rolling for King Hassan. I just generally want the servant because he is really cool. Though that will be up to luck. Plus I feel like I will not get Miyamoto due to luck and her banner has other 5 star servants rate ups which will decrease her chance of appearing unless it is just her Banner alone as the JFGO can be different from the English version.

Sorry for the rant I know it is longer but I really need some advice.

Xuanzang's actually pretty good tho, she's pretty much the best at what she does. That said if you really don't want her, I'd say go Assassin since that's the banner where you won't be disappointed with either outcome, based on what you've written.

To go into some deeper explanation though, it's not that Enkidu doesn't go well with Merlin, it's that there are many other lancers who benefit more from Merlin than he does. Enkidu, despite his glaring flaws in his NP gain, ATK stat and deck, is still a pretty good lancer with suprisingly high NP damage. Also, idk if you want an ST servant over AOE because you prefer the bigger damage, but just know that the field becomes a little more level when Shinjuku happens and they introduce multi-tiered health bars that you can't one-shot.

Altria lancer is great at spamming her NP but her damage is on the low side. Karna is better, after all his strengthenings he becomes a good crit servant and can deal some pretty strong ST damage against divine enemies, which a lot of archer bosses are.

With Musashi, it's not clear that we'll even get the other servants on that banner since they all showed up in those thanksgiving banners already, and even if we did get them again, they have rate-ups on different days, so Musashi's rate isn't affected.

Gameplay-wise I'd still make the argument that the caster banner is the best, especially since you don't have any of them, but really it ultimately comes down to who you like. I mentioned earlier that, at least from reading your post, the Assassin banner is the one guaranteed to not disappoint you, and if I'm right about that (and your opinion hasn't changed from reading what I've written about the lancers and casters) then that's what I'd advise you to roll.

Thank you for the advise. I also forgot that Lost belt will come to the American Server I just assumed it wouldn't be for a while so didn't think about the future. So still thinking between Jack and Lancer banners. Anyone else who can offer some advice will be good as others are in the same situation as me.

Side note: I wonder why Jack goes well with Merlin and Enkidu doesn't?
Jack is the stronger option for sure, but both of them are dedicated to generating stars, where Enkidu has a Buster NP on top of that. Therefore, he can make much better use of Merlin's third skill than Jack.

I'm basically in the same boat as you. My logic tells me I should go with the caster banner, but since I already have Merlin I'l go with the lancer one.

Everyone goes "well" with Merlin in the sense that he improves any team he is on if you use him correctly. His buffs are mostly universal, it's just one part of one of his skills that is buster-specific. Jack goes well with Merlin because he has a crit steroid which is more useful for jack than Enkidu if you don't also have 2030.
