My Special Place in Shipping Hell

You know what is my special place in shipping hell.

The throne

[klonoadreams]

Because we talk about Ozy then we have to talk about Gilgamesh’s and Enkidu/Kingu’s kids

hgjksfhbjkdsjbkhlg

You're asking about Kid Gil just straight up being a brat boy to the older Gil's because they got FGO!Noa/Venti pregnant with their kids.

FIrst off, Archer Gilgamesh won't. Fucking. Shut up. He'll lord this child over, just straight up announcing the presence of his progeny. Noa is likely decked out in pretty clothes for the occasion because FUCK those clothes, you're wearing these now.

Caster Gil is similar, except he's a lot more professional about it, with how he sends out cards and whatnot.

Meanwhile with Venti, she's just likely getting flustered over Archer Gilgamesh's behavior and hiding her face behind her hands. While Caster Gil succeeds in getting her to help him with notifying everyone.

Later on, you can find Caster Gil passed out with the kids. While Archer Gil carries them on himself at all times.

Enkidu is gonna be one happy clay, just playing with the baby. Bringing flowers to Noa and Venti. Presses their forehead against Noa and then the baby.

Smooches Venti and then shows off the baby to Gil, who is just smug because he is OBVIOUSLY the godfather.

Kingu is immensely happy and will also be smug about it the entire time. Often holds Noa. Gets head pats from Venti.

Proteccs his kids. Is weirdly aggressive if you so much as look at them wrong.

Can be found being super fucking gentle with the baby, just playing with them. And smiling. Gets flustered over it when its brought up.

alright so i didn’t really agree with what tier lists were saying about certain fgo servants so i made my own one ! you’re welcome to disagree, of course, but this is what i think should make up the fgo five star tier list

S: makes any team better, 100% desirable, meta breaking

A: well built and capable of carrying a team

B: good team addition and plays well/good for one specific purpose

C: ok tier, they’re just fine tbh, deservant of 5 star status but on thin ice

D: straight up should’ve been a 4 star

EX: servants that i’ve heard of only in legend

*note: this is for the na server as of january 2019, i could honestly give less of a shit about jp

**note: berserkers gain a bit of fluidity because their one purpose is to kill and any zerk that can do that is good (< that’s all zerks btw)

***note: all 5 stars are worth levelling up, they’re all really good. don’t burn them please

****note: i don’t claim to know everything about fgo, this list isn’t the gospel

S TIER:

MERLIN (caster): ok y’all saw this one coming but basically merlin is fucking amazing. he can really fit on any team set up he wants to and he’s a prime example of what a good caster should be. i don’t think i need to explain this entry. moving on.

JEANNE D’ARC ALTER (avenger): jalter is probably the best buster based servant you can summon in the na server right now and was a complete powerhouse until merlin showed up. if you want a reliable servant that can do just about anything without fail i suggest her if you ever get lucky enough to summon her

FIRST HASSAN (assassin): normally gramps isn’t listed with these two, but if you’ve ever used him chances are you can atleast somewhat see where i’m coming from here. this man is a BEAST, his singularity track record should be proof of that (y’know, because he stole the show in a whole ass two of them). he can’t fit into any team like the first two but he can destroy like nobody’s fucking business. summon him if you get the chance

A TIER:

MIYAMOTO MUSASHI (saber): musashi is a saber focused in single target buster damage, and her skills and np allow her to go above with this focus. at the moment i’d say she’s probably the best saber available because her np, skills, and deck match so well. \

NERO BRIDE (saber): i forgot her and i’m only just now adding her in so whoops but basically she’s one of the only arts sabers that’s actually good and has a good and spammable np.

GILGAMESH (archer): he’s an anti army buster focus who has a noble phantasm that only six servants in the game so far aren’t weak to. he’s kind of a lancer pincushion but just don’t send him out into battles with lancers. there you go.

ISHTAR (archer): ishtar doesn’t have the same np effect as gil but other than that she’s a fairly good replacement for him, not to mention she has a slightly higher hp value than him

BRYNHILDR (lancer): brynhildr would probably be lower on this list if it weren’t for her sparse availability and trait that affects most male and some female servants in the game. she’s probably the best lancer in the game because of those two reasons, but all lancers are safe bets tbh

OZYMANDIAS (rider): ozymandias is amazing at spamming buster cards and has a particularly great np, great for boss battles. also he’s hot

QUETZALCOATL (rider): basically the same as ozy here except with a more specifically buster deck. also she’s hot

ZHUGE LIANG (caster): a lot of people categorize him with merlin and to those people i have to ask: have you ever played this game? waver comes close, but don’t act like people didn’t throw him to the side the exact moment merlin came out. open your eyes you absolute fools

XUANZANG SANZANG (caster): this one has a twinge of personal bias but seeing as she’s a caster but has the highest atk of all of my servants atm. also she’s hot, but she’s one of the only casters in the game right now that’s somewhat buster based and can make a buster brave chain which her np (which is kinda rare for casters). she can fit into really any team composition without too much issue and has a rather high survivability rate

JACK THE RIPPER (assassin): contrary to brynhildr, jack got higher on this list almost specifically because of her availability. she’s a really good assassin that’s rather easy to get (well, considering she’s a five star). the one bane i can think of is that she’s not very team compatible, but she’ll do just fine regardless. get her going with quick chains and she will absolutely obliterate

CU CHULAINN ALTER (berserker): just wanna start out by saying he’s still one of the most powerful berserkers in the jp server. AND he’s easily available. do i really fucking have to say anything else? (protection from arrows lol)

MINAMOTO NO RAIKOU (berserker): mom’s deck is set up a bit differently from other berserkers’, having more arts and quick card than most of them. does that stop her from utterly obliterating everything in her path? nope, not at all, in fact, it only helps. her quick and arts card charge her buster np, which is a wave clear that RAINS crit stars, that only help her kill more later. conclusion: she’s an absolute goddess

JEANNE D’ARC (ruler): jeanne d’arc only really made it to this part of the list because you can get her really easily and she’s absolutely amazing on arts stall teams. as well and good as this is, though, she only really reaches her good points in her final ascension and is kind of hard to use before this. i wouldn’t suggest using her if you’re a starter player, heads up

B TIER:

OKITA SOUJI (saber): okita was placed lower on this list than i’d like her to be but because of her quick based status i kinda had to. there’s going to be a lot of this going on especially later in the list, but quick servants don’t see the light of day until skadi comes around, which is going to be mid 2020 for us na players unless fgo gets destroyed before then. the only servant that really got away with the quick niche was jack because she’s self sustaining if she needs to be, but okita’s deck doesn’t really let her do that. despite this, okita’s still amazing, and i highly suggest rolling for her

ARTORIA ARCHER (archer): summer artoria serves as an amazing arts archer that does wonders with her single target arts np that brings up her np gauge up almost immediately after it’s done, meaning you can spam her np whenever. she’s pretty great for arts team and not very versatile elsewhere, but you’re in for a treat when you use her

SCATHACH (lancer): OF COURSE scathach was going to be fairly high on this list, she’s one of the best lancers to date. her quick deck brought her down a bit here, but she’s a reliable servant that can fit into any team composition with little issue and has a powerful np. what else could you want

ARTORIA LANCER (lancer): honestly lartoria is high on the list for flexing and little else, but she serves as a powerful buster servant that has a pretty good wave clear np. the rest of the reason she’s up here is personal bias and i’m not scared to admit that, also she’s on a horse

TAMAMO LANCER (lancer): lanmamo is a kinda surprising servant tbh, she doubles in buster and quick and does amazing in both and has an especially high hp stat, something i wouldn’t expect from a quick/buster decked servant. honestly, you really can’t go wrong with summer servants tbh, they’re all really good

QUEEN MEDB (rider): i’m SICK of people shitting on medb. she’s fucking great. she’s a buster main that’s a crit star sponge and has a fairly good single target np. bring her into a caster boss battle and she will fuck the life out of the opponent, i guarantee it

TAMAMO NO MAE (caster): mikon is an amazing caster who sadly doesn’t really hold up to those in the higher tiers, but has skills that work great for any team and is practically the god of any arts stall team you ever might think of making. also she’s hot

LEONARDO DA VINCI (caster): da vinci doesn’t really hold up to tamamo, but i still think she deserves a spot in this tier. she has a pretty varied deck that can fit in with really any team and has a pretty powerful wave clear np. she’s a great caster, no doubt, but in a point in time when this game is practically dominated by merlin, she really doesn’t hold up as much as the others

CLEOPATRA (assassin): cleo is an exceptionally good buster based assassin with an anti army np which is really effective. she makes for a fairly good farming servant and can hold out for a while in boss battles as well

SAKATA KINTOKI (berserker): sakata has gotten strangely a bad rep from the fandom but is overhyped by the game, which is weird to me, but whatever. he’s probably the most powerful berserker atk wise, but can only really survive for three turns before dying no matter what you do. as far as servants go, he’s not as good as the game hypes him up to be and he’s not as bad as the fanbase makes him out to be.

AMAKUSA SHIROU (ruler): amakusa really only got up here because he’s one of the only four extra class five stars in the game right now, and as a servant he’s okay. he’d be a lot worse if he were a normal unit that had a class disadvantage that was common, but since he’s practically untouchable as a ruler he gets a spot up here

C TIER:

ARTORIA (saber): artoria has a rather bad reputation among tier lists because of her basic deck, basic np, shit skills … but her blandness only makes her increasingly compatible with other team setups. you can really stick her anywhere and she’ll do fine, and if she’s set up right she can become a really good servant. y’all are just lazy and mean

MORDRED (saber): mordred got kind of the same treatment as her dad but with more buster and slightly better skills, so if this tier list had a lot more specific tiers mordred would probably be above her. however, this isn’t, i’m too lazy for that. mordred is really just a slightly more atk based artoria

ARJUNA (archer): arjuna’s good, no doubt, but his competition out of the five star archer pool is hard to match up with. he’s definitely the best archer in the story mode gacha, but as an arts archer that can’t spam his np as artoria archer, he’s a bit dead in the water

ORION (archer): orion has the same problems as arjuna but with an added fuck you because of that extra quick card. if you have her i hope you have fun beating the absolute shit out of gawain

KARNA (lancer): karna’s an amazing buster servant, but the lancer pool is just really fucking good. he excels in buster but got that quick fuck you just like orion. i don’t really have much to say tbh, he’s good

ENKIDU (lancer): enkidu excels in quicks and didn’t pussy out like orion and karna, and if this were the non-merlin era he’d be higher on this list. sadly, since arts is dominating, he’ll have to wait a bit, but soon ...

FRANCIS DRAKE (rider): i really like francis, i do, but compared to the other riders she’s really just a farming servant. she can be a good main rider if you really want her to be but her np is almost made for farming. her np is the exact example of a farming np. next

ILLYA VON EINZBERN (caster): news flash but she’s not really as good as everyone hyped her up to be. she has a bit of a confusing deck (why does she have one buster card but a buster np!?!) and no clear niche so like … is her fame only because of that anime she’s in or what. chloe’s better

SHUTEN DOUJI (assassin): shuten has an arts based deck that doesn’t really fit her as an assassin and doesn’t have a very powerful np but otherwise is a good and reliable servant. She can just about survive anything and has been the cause of many of my clutches. thanks shuten

VLAD III (berserker): vlad excels in arts teams and is an amazing arts unit, but he would’ve shined if he was released later. because he was the first five star berserker released and non limited (unlike sakata) he defied a standard for berserkers before berserker standards were even set, and it didn’t come out well

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE (berserker): florence honestly would’ve been better if she wasn’t released at the same time as cu alter, who’s a goddamn beast, and if her concept wasn’t so mismatched. her deck and skillset is kinda weirdly put together and doesn’t flow as well as raikou’s. she’s wasted potential, really.

D TIER:

ALTERA (saber): honestly i think people hype up altera too much, she’s good but could easily be replaced by a four star imo. at her best she’s just an artoria remake sorry

NIKOLA TESLA (archer): his deck and skill set and np are fine? he just really doesn’t have a proper use. he fits into any team but in a way in which that team has to kinda carry him and he’s ugly. that’s all

MYSTERIOUS HEROINE X (assassin): mhx is a good assassin, especially since there are only a few you can really choose from, but she’s more of a trophy than anything. it’s cool to have her, and again, she’s fine, but she doesn’t really match up to the other assassins in the game, especially jack, who’s more easily accessible and self sufficient. also it doesn’t make sense why she’s an assassin if she’s a saber killer (just be an archer!!!!) but w/e

EDMOND DANTES (avenger): let me explain first. please. ok, so edmond is good by most standards, especially because he’s an extra class which means he’s basically untouchable by most everyone except for bb when she rears her ugly head in may. but what sucks about him is that he was released as sort of a avengers test before jalter? idk how to really explain it, but he’s significantly worse than jalter because they wanted to see how an avenger would hold up. not only does he not hold up to the only servant in his class by a long shot, he has the quick curse and looks exactly the fuck like komaeda. he really took that l

EX TIER:

RYOUJI SHIKI (saber): fgo seems to really like her but the fanbase seems to think she;s ok at best but i’ve never seen her ever in supports in my nine months of playing this game. does she even really exist? idk. her character desc says you’re likely to never see her and i’m starting to think that’s true

ISKANDER (rider): alright i KNOW you exist and everyone loves you but i’ve never seen you either. what the ufck. where are you

anyways that’s it this took way longer than it should’ve i’m going to bed

[fate-grandorder-imagines]

What do you think about Ozy? What do you like about him? Same goes for Gilgamesh and Karna. I love these servants and I'm curious what's your opinion about them

Well Ozy - taking his giant number of concubines and children aside, his love and devotion to Nefertari is just to die for! It keeps me from wanting to add him to my faves because I’m not a cuck, but at the same time it’s the most attractive trait about him because who wouldn’t want a man like that you feel me? But he’s also very confident and proud, though not too much to disrespect other people which is something Gil could take a page from.

Gil is hard to answer because it depends on which Gil we’re talking about? But generally said, I hate Archer Gil except for CCC because he unifies a lot of traits I hate about men like his inflated ego, selfishness and cruelty but he always stays true to himself which is something I respect about him in terms of him being an Antagonist in a lot of cases. Baby Gil is just lovable no matter what, and Caster Gil I love because he is still the haughty-mongrel-calling-King but he’s more humane and less tsundere than his Archer self. And he just looks gorgeous don’t judge me :’D

I could gush for days about Karna but I’ll keep it short for the sake of everyone being so unfortunate to read this. First of all, he’s such a tragic figure al through his life with all the hardships he had to face until his end and still he is a kind and noble person that puts others before himself instead of going bitter (for example like Medea). His kindness and unconditional loyalty are what defines him and the reason I love him the most apart from Arthur. That, and how savage and clueless about common things he can be: it’s just too adorable! ꒰˘̩̩̩⌣˘̩̩̩๑꒱♡

Fionn's not actually bad at all from a lore prospective though? Like stats are bs but his stats are equal or better than Cu's while under Chaldea with both of them Lancers: Fionn has greater strength, agility, constitution, luck, and np than Cu, and equal magic. Personal skill wise he has greater magic resistance as well. Cu's divinity is higher but that's only relevant against Enkidu, Ozy's temple, and Achilles invincibility.

Personal Skill wise Fionn has 2 to Cu's 3, with him having greater overall magic knowledge (Cu is better than him at Runes but only as a Caster). And then Clairvoyance is hard to say either way beyond that he could bs an Archer if you gave him strong enough equipment (he may also be able to see potential futures, and invisible beings based off the other holders but we don't know enough. Cu's skills are definitely overall better from what we've seen at least given they help make him a cockroach in and out of gameplay (and let him stall an unserious Gil for several hours).

NP wise his spear (which is a sword in actual myths) basically gives him the Bravery personal Skill at A+ (same rank as Herk), auto attacks without him needing to do anything, and functions as a water cannon. Gae Bolg's throw version is weaker than MaL's water cannon function, and while the close range version is great as Emiya repeatedly demonstrates in Fsn as long as you don't let him finish making the pose and saying its name or retreat outside of its 30 meter range you're fine. And then while you can quibble about his thumb and healing waters ranks as NPs they're still really good.

Hell he even wins the Third Fuyuki Grail War (or somehow loses to Amakusa in Apo timelines).

Fionn's problems aren't that he's weak. Its that he's just there for Diarmuid cuck jokes with the exception of Titoria's interlude and JP New Year's 2019. Which isn't helped at all by his gameplay being a broken mess that only becomes decent after multiple buffs.

Trouble with Woman is literally the greatest example of this as rather than give him God or Mystic Slayer like Scathach and Raikou he gets a nonexistent joke skill about how shit he is with women (when that only applies to Grainne). The My Room dialouge accidentally lampshades it as the reason Medb wouldn't fuck him is because he spends all their time talking about how amazing his first two wives were (well that and he just doesn't like her pretty face or no).

Its like if instead of focusing on her personal philosophy, knightly conduct, or struggles with being a king 99% of anything involving Artoria is just jokes about how Lancelot fucked Guinevere.

His only hope is getting pitied by Nasu, or Sakurai and even then its unlikely that they'll make him an Arts Caster better or equal to Tamamo and Gil, and his other options are Arts Archer and Saber. He has no fans because he's mostly "look at the guy Diarmuid cucked!" and "Hey Diarmuid, try not to cuck x eh?" which makes him disliked by Diarmuid fans, those who don't care aren't interested since he's devoid of much substance, leaving those few who love the cuck jokes, those who like him because they're interested in him showing off more (lore), and those who are interested because of his myths.

And as he barely has any fans -> he won't reappear and get a better role in an event or story chapter -> without reappearing he won't gain more fans -> leaving him trapped in the mire of Finn McCuck -> repeat.

Or the alternative cycle: He's not good in gameplay ->Bad spook I wanted Karna/Bradamante/insert gold lancer here -> I hate Fionn -> Fionn is unpopular-> Fionn is left behind as a janky mess and can only receive piecemeal fixes until he's finally usable -> But Insert Lancer here can do ABC better! -> He's not good in gameplay -> Repeat

Either that or Moriyama really wants to draw older black haired bearded Fionn and Nasu or Sakurai love it enough to add him.

I really like Fionn Mac Cumhaill.

I wanna learn more about his original legends. Like this dude’s clearly got some sort of water shtick in all his attack animations and I’ve got no idea what that’s about.
