Fate Grand Order Best Servants: Current meta

Fate Grand Order Art 3

In Fate/Grand Order (FGO), the strength of your roster often depends less on star-rating and more on how well your Servants synergize with meta strategies like looping, support stacking, and minimal turn count clears. In this article, we’ll break down which Servants currently dominate the meta, both supports and DPS, and what makes them essential for most high-end play.

Meta Supports You Should Prioritize

Castoria (Art Support Specialist)

Castoria remains one of the most indispensable support Servants in the current meta for Arts teams. Her ability to enable repeated Noble Phantasm (NP) chains via her NP charge skills and support buffs makes her the backbone of nearly every high-performance Arts comp. Many tier lists still rank her at the top, and players across communities push her as the “must-get” support.

Koyanskaya of Light (Buster Loop Enabler)

For Buster teams, Koyanskaya of Light is nearly unmatched. Her battery, damage buffs, and support toolkit allow many Buster DPS Servants to clear nodes with far fewer supports. She’s considered a cornerstone support for Buster-centric strategies.

Oberon (Neutral Plug & Burst Support)

Oberon is a prime “finisher support” — he excels at boosting damage and charging NP, especially when paired with versatile DPS. Though more situational than Castoria or Koyanskaya, Oberon’s neutral (class-agnostic) boosts make him a frequent pick for content where class advantage is less relevant.

Scathach-Skadi (Quick Support)

To support Quick teams, Scathach-Skadi remains a top choice. While not as universally dominant as Castoria or Koyanskaya, she is still among the premier options for enabling Quick-based NP chains and critical builds.

Merlin & Other Niche Supports

Merlin retains relevance, especially in challenge quests (CQs) or stall compositions, thanks to his healing, NP generation, and general durability. He’s less vital in pure farming or looping setups but shines in tougher encounters.

Other supporting names like Waver, Reines, Lady Avalon, and even future supports continue to hold niche or backup roles depending on your roster.

Best DPS & Loopers in the Current Meta

Summer Ibuki (Arts AoE Looper)

Summer Ibuki continues to be the queen of Arts AoE looping. She can clear many common nodes with minimal support thanks to her strong NP damage and self-reliance.

Space Ishtar

Space Ishtar ranks very high in recent tier listings due to her strong damage output, flexibility, and utility in many team builds.

Kintoki (Sakata Kintoki)

Kintoki often appears in lists of top DPS thanks to his raw damage potential and synergy in many meta-supported setups.

Melusine

Melusine is highly rated for her utility and damage in many classes. She shows up high in tier lists across recent updates.

Other Notables

Other elite Servants such as Gilgamesh, Edmond Dantès, Altria (Caster), and Sima Yi remain consistent powerhouses across classes. Their performance in the meta is reinforced by top tier lists.

How to Use This Meta Guidance Wisely

  • Rarity is secondary to synergy. Many lower-rarity or welfare Servants can shine if paired with the right supports and buffs.
  • Focus your pulls. Prioritize getting at least one or two meta supports (e.g. Castoria or Koyanskaya), then build your DPS around them.
  • Adapt to future updates. Meta shifts each new Servant, buff, or interlude. Always check updated tier lists before investing heavily.
  • Don’t ignore challenge content. Some Servants shine in one-turn farming, others in prolonged boss fights; balance your roster to cover multiple playstyles.
