Fate Grand Order Best Characters: Current meta

Fate Grand Order Art 4

In the ever-evolving world of Fate/Grand Order, knowing which Servants dominate the current meta can greatly affect your team building and success. Whether you’re tackling Lostbelts, challenge quests, or just grinding events, you’ll want to rely on top-tier servants. Below is a guide to the Fate Grand Order best characters in the current meta (as of 2025).

Top Supports to Build Around

In many team compositions, support Servants are what allow your damage dealers to shine. Some supports carry entire teams thanks to their buffs, NP charge, or utility.

  • Castoria (Artoria Caster) remains one of the most ubiquitous supports. Her looping capabilities (Arts NP refund, strong NP generation, defensive utilities) make her a top pick for enabling many Servants to fire off Noble Phantasms reliably.
  • Oberon is gaining traction as a powerful support option, especially where NP generation and team sustain are needed.
  • Kiara (Koyanskaya) is also frequently recommended in the community as a support option to power niche compositions.
  • Legacy supports like Merlin, Waver (Lord El-Melloi II), and Tamamo still see use, especially in mixed or hybrid teams.

Choosing the right support often shapes what damage Servants you can successfully field.

Best Damage Dealers in the Current Meta

While support Servants are crucial, you still need strong damage output. The following Servants are top picks in the current meta due to strong NP damage, synergy with supports, and versatility.

1. Altria (Caster) / “Castoria’s own damage option”

Because many teams revolve around Castoria, her Berserker / extra class counterpart, Altria (Caster), becomes a natural fit. Some rankings put her among the best 5-star Servants given her synergy with support loops.

2. Arjuna (Alter / Berserker)

Arjuna in his various forms remains one of the top-tier damage Servants, particularly useful in harder content. He’s strong both for ST (single target) and some wave clear.

3. Sima Yi, Reines (Rider / support hybrid)

Although often categorized as a support or buffer, Sima Yi / Reines bring damage potential alongside buffs. Her hybrid capabilities make her flexible in many team setups.

4. Ashiya Douman (Alter Ego)

Ashiya Douman continues to be heralded in tier lists and meta discussions as one of the stronger non-SSR picks due to his damage potential and utility in certain team builds.

5. Other SSR Picks in Tier Lists

Beyond individual names, the Servant Tier Lists regularly rank all classes and highlight who is dominating each class slot. Consulting class-specific tier lists (Saber, Archer, Lancer, etc.) helps you spot meta damage options in each class.

Final Thoughts

The current meta in Fate Grand Order strongly favors support-focused team structures, with Castoria as a keystone support. Around her, powerful damage dealers like Altria (Caster), Arjuna, Sima Yi/Reines, and Ashiya Douman become excellent picks. But always remember: the best characters for you are those you enjoy and can fully upgrade. Use the meta as guideline, not hard rule, and adapt as new releases shift the landscape.
