I've always liked the fate series and decided to give this game a go. I got Heracles as my four star and I'm about to finish the tutorial. Is there a solid (up to date) beginner's guide that anyone can link me to, or does anyone have any tips for starting out? Thanks.

Welcome to the FGO Community brando!

We may be a little salty at times(okay VERY salty at times) from bad pulls but we are overall an ice community. The best guides are easily on this and the FGO wiki.

https://grandorder.gamepress.gg/guides This guide compendium with teach you the basic aspects, teach you about team comps and other finer points of the game.

Heracles is EASILY the best 4* tutorial in the game that you can summon, as he hits ridiculously hard and has a kit hat basically makes him immortal. He will do just fine in the first few singularities(1-3), His playstyle is just smash everything in sight, but once you get his first ascension, he will smash hard and also be very hard to kill. As you may have noticed you will need 2 heroes to fill a team comp. I would recommend Robin Hood, Ushiwakamaru or Cu Chullain. Cu Chullain is HEAVILY recommended due to his extremely high durability and powerful NP. Contrary to other gacha games(FeH for example) some 3*s in the game are actually VERY GOOD. Some are even better than their 4* counterparts. Hans, Ushi, Robin hood, and cu chullain are very good newcomer/f2p options and are better than 4*'s

You will also need many freinds. Most top tier players are generally happy to take a newcomer or two under their wing, so start spamming those freind requests(Here's mine btw(451,328,827), If you want a level 90 amakusa shirou, then add me!)

I think I covered the basics. The more advanced aspects should be explained by the guide. Dont worry TOO much about the 5*'s although you happened to start at a pretty good time as cu chullain alter(one of the best units in the game) is on rate up and Jeanne d'arc alter(highest base atk in the game) is also due for her rate up in a few days. I would say try to roll for them, but dont be too bummed about it as they will always return.

Have fun!

Thank you for the detailed reply and link!

I will send you a friend request as soon as I figure out how haha.

I really want Cu, I like his character. Nice to hear they made him so good, and nice to hear that low rarity units can do the job. I already have Hans, so I will invest in him and I guess he can fill out the team for now until I get Cu or the other two you mentioned. I will definitely try for Cu Alter and Jeanne Alter, after that I plan to save for Waver or Merlin when one of them comes around. I hear they are game breaking.

Thank you again for the help, I look forward to playing and hope I can provide you with a great unit someday!

Merlin(or Memelin) will be the best support unit in the game when he comes out. Unfortunately, hes in December. Waver's rate up SHOULD be in around 2 weeks with the Fate zero collab event. Just a heads up!

Thanks for the heads up! I will hold for Waver, then. Much appreciated!

Because people have already said most of what has to be said about starting off, I would just like to add that you don't need to force yourself to save for the best of the best servants. Almost every servant has his/her own niche and everybody is playable. Save for the servants you like the most, and I would also advise you to take a peek at the servant catalog the wiki has.

If you are planning to just free to play, don't burn all your quartz on story summons or on rate-ups that don't interest you early on. Wait for banners featuring servants you want to get the most, to save on quartz and more importantly, to build towards a team you can be satisfied with.

Getting a Heracles is already an insane start, so more luck to you and hopefully you stick around! Have a nice day!
