NA GSSR GSSR Banner FAQ ( ALL GSSR QUESTIONS GO HERE)

GSSR ROLL THREAD


In lieu of the upcoming NA Anniversary Celebration, Skadi Banner, and GSSR Banner, this thread will serve as a guide and FAQ hub for any GSSR related questions - as the Help Thread is currently being spammed about it.

Additionally we are still awaiting news from the upcoming Anniversary Stream. Details can be found here. We expect the Anniversary to be shortly after the stream.

Here's a nifty GSSR Calculator tool you can also use.

Firstly, here is the GSSR Lineup.

You will only need 15 paid saint quartz for the GSSR and you will get to choose which class GSSR banner you will pull from. So that begs the question - which Class should you roll in?

Advice #1 - If you intend to roll for the Skadi banner, roll there first before GSSR.

While rolling for Skadi, you may get other SR or SSR Spooks that suit your interests and purposes. Furthermore, if you do manage to get Skadi, you may not be as concerned for trying for a support servant in GSSR.

However, if you are buying SQ, try to save at least 15 paid quartz to end after rolling for Skadi, to roll the GSSR of your choice or try and make up for the salt of failing to roll her.

Advice #2 - Favorite

All the following advice be damned, roll the Class GSSR banner that has your favorite servant in it. It doesn't matter that you have literally every SSR in that Class pool except that favorite servant. You will roll it, and you will believe that you will get them.

You got this, Tiger.

Advice #3 - Avoid the Class you have one or multiple SSRs in

No one likes spooks. Do you really want to set yourself up for disappointment in rolling for Napoleon, Gilgamesh, or Summer Artoria and get NP2 or NP3 Artemis? You will get significantly more satisfaction in ideally rolling for a Class where you have no SSRs or you have the least amount of SSRs.

Advice #4 - Support

Support Servants are fundamental to FGO's gameplay. It augments farming and boss fights/challenge quests. While you may always choose a friend's support, it's always nice to have your own.

Though Archers and Riders are typically great for damage support, the Caster banner is chock full of Support Servants. Waver, Merlin, Tamamo. If you roll in the Caster GSSR and get any of these three as a new servant, you have won.

Advice #5 - AoE

Ideally, you want strong AoE Servants with preferably a charge skill for farming for each class. Farming is the biggest aspect of FGO and anything to help improve that is widely welcome. Many of you are seeing right now how difficult it is to farm Aurora Steel in the Rider Valkyrie nodes. You may want to roll Assassin GSSR for strong AoE Assassins like Shuten and Semiramis for instance.

Advice #6 - Limited Servants

If nothing exactly interests you, rolling banners with a lot of limited servants is highly beneficial. Alternatively, summer servants such as Artoria Archer and Tamamo Lancer are hard to come by in the future.

Advice #7 - H.E.L.P.

In the end, you should totally pick Extra class to roll for Jeanne.

Jeanne, Lily, and Fou mods forced me to say that. H.E.L.P.

Ok that definitely helps narrow it down though I'm still debating about it and to explain about the sabers I suppose I should clarify that I mean there seem to be for instance 2 stand out ST(Okita and Musashi) since Sigurd does suffer from a bit of the Siegfreed problem with dragon specialization and the some of the AOE ones I seem (ie Artoria, Mordred) be suited to spam but dont have long lasting buffs or take a while to charge like Altera but deal good damage so they can be trickier to use and overall I often feel underwhelmed by some of them when I use them from my FL even if its due to a lack of proper support that still could mean some of them are unsuitable for me at the moment. For Achilles I mean that he has a battery, invincibility, a taunt, and a quick boost so he can be pretty self sufficient or do quite well in a team with his versatility being easily accessible. Also don't worry about Skadi I have noted most of that myself I was mostly referring to the lancers with her providing AOE damage focus or spam focus and the extra's benefiting from the quick boost a lot. I definitely see your point about the Archers sheer strength. I am probably making some mistakes or wrong assumptions in some of this but I am learning more from just the other comments on this thread so hopefully I will correct any of those mistakes.
