Several characters try, and theoretically succeed, at being strong tanks but the game doesn’t really support tanking as an archetype because most threatening encounters feature AoE damage. Usefulness over Raw Strength: Some characters are very good at things you just won’t really ever need.Characters will still be ranked accordingly if they virtually require a particular expensive setup but as almost every character in the game can be used in a viable composition with a bronze character and a friend support selection, this usually isn’t the case. This doesn’t really help understand a character’s quality on its own, and while self-sufficiency is valuable, the ability to fit into numerous mediocre teams isn’t really all that relevant. No Points for Splashability: It’s a common question whether a character should be considered better because they fit into a greater number of teams.A player can learn to count cards or align/desynch their skills effectively, a character’s placement should be based on their usefulness not how well they do when used suboptimally. Here, we’re going to assume you know what you’re doing when using a character.

Assumption of Good Play: Many lists dock characters points for being harder to use.Here is a list of key points for this list. It’s not really feasible to make a list that ranks the way everyone would like, and many lists try to strike a balance between multiple concerns without explaining which things they weighted more heavily. This helps you to understand what was and wasn’t under consideration when placing characters and avoids troubled understanding when different people want lists that focus on power in a vacuum, others consider teams and whether there is a use for the character, etc. Here, we’ll cover the broad decision making principles for the list. Archer Tier List MethodologyĪ lot of tier lists cause arguments because their authors don’t make clear what does and doesn’t influence a placement decision. The top-end of the Archer class tends to feature a stellar AoE NP paired with crits that can outpace a solid portion of the dedicated single-target field they’re excellent. The class base stats and passives as a whole lend themselves to critting, though, and make Archers surprisingly versatile because on a basic level a character that crits with no other benefits is usually doing better at any given metric than one who is not. They tend towards powerful AoE characters and in particular have an embarrassment of riches for farming options. Mediocre Archers would be on the upper end in a less-competitive class. The best Archers in Fate/Grand Order are Ishtar, Gilgamesh, Nikola Tesla, Artoria (Summer), Arash, and James Moriarty.Īrchers are easily the strongest of the knight classes. It’s a question of how hard you want to work or how efficient you want your clears to be, not whether you can at all. So where other games make tier listing a necessity so you don’t invest in a character that just can’t do content, here it helps you understand who’s weaker, though most characters are still viable. Grand Order has a bit of an interesting relationship with this as we don’t have nearly the power creep problem other games tend to have. Particularly when it comes to high rarity rolls that can be extremely hard to chase. Players often wonder which characters are stronger in gacha games.
