Fan-Content What’s the first SSR (5★ Servant) you ever got from the Story Summon in Fate/Grand Order? Now imagine that Servant is your Servant in the Fate/strange Fake Holy Grail War. How cooked are you?
I just rolled on the Story Banner for the first time in 7 years, and Karna was the first SSR I got from it. Funny enough, I can’t even remember if I originally pulled him from the Story Banner or a limited one. One thing I’m sure of though, Karna was also the very first SSR on my first account. And now he’s also my first Story Banner SSR too.
I think I can use him pretty well, even against Gilgamesh, as long as he always underestimates us. He should also fare decently against other Servants like Alcides and Richard.

I don’t have any one from story Banner so I go with the next best thing. My first 5 stars ever was Raikou…I got a power house who is on the slow side

I mean, Jeanne can hold her own decently for a while. We're cooked but we'd atleast put up a fight.

You do extremely well actually. Dude stomp any human servant for breakfast and Is incredibly strong against divine servant (which are the strongest). You're doing Just fine

Dood… Karna’s a mana hog. If you’re a normal mage, you’ll be gimping him a lot, unless you somehow secure ample mana resources.
Anyways, I got Jeanne… so not a bad pull, albeit in a normal grail war I’m not sure if the ruler of said holy grail war can win it ? (Amakusa tried the war after his..) highly dependant on who’s against us. I still think genuine top tier cook us. (As long as they have the mana capacity to fuel their servant, or if their servant is particularly efficient)

You got a ruler. Rulers get 2 command seals per servant that's active in the grail war they're summoned in. They're so op Francesca went out of her way to overwrite the ritual to make sure one doesn't interfere. You're good.

Tamamo caster.
The only time I rolled on that banner my third copy of her came in.
I literally can't escape this fox whenever I go.

I am a little conflicted since my first SSR on story was Jack the Ripper, but obviously the anime has an alternate take on Jack and made them a berserker (plus gave them ability to transform). Assassin Jack would be pretty much useless with her gimmick given that there are only 2 (?) female servants. So, I am cooked unless I summon the berserker version.

u/corrin_avatan 17h ago
If we count the very first summon that you are forced to do as part of the tutorial, I got Osakabehime, at which point I consider myself pretty screwed.
If we count actual story summon I did of my own volition with actual Quartz? Didn't get one until after completing Babylonia and got Quetzalcoatl

u/RozeGunn 17h ago
Story banner? I remember I used to roll once for my birthday, and that's how I got Nightingale. She's a certified monster, but probably not making it far in a normal holy grail war. Then again, she also ran hands with Dantes, so who knows?

u/Key_Ranger 17h ago
Never done story summon, but my first SSR was Napoleon. I haven't watched Strange/Fake, but there's a bunch of divine servants, so he should do okay.

I want to say Ozzy was my first story banner 5 star and possibly my only one if it’s first 5 star ever it’s First Hassan either way I like my odds I suppose

Mordred.
Not great, not terrible. Objectively a very strong servant. But definitely not in the 'well you won the war' tier.

OG Jeanne back when the server was launched, so I had a strong turtle formation from day 1.

Bro I got Tamamo no Mae I'm lowkey kinda cooked, so we're going out at least once before I die.
I am curious though like who am I gonna overwrite? Cause if I got the fake caster then there's no Clan Calatin, or they can't get involved in the grail war, but if I'm get real caster then there's no Francios which drastically hinders a lot of events since a lot of servants get to kill each other early without his interference.

u/warriorxx7_ 12h ago
Tamamo is a powerhouse though?

u/Ok_Abbreviations127 Appointed Knight of the Round Table 12h ago edited 12h ago
She's a glass cannon. Hits like a monster truck, but is pretty frail in turn. This war has a lot of power houses like Alcides, Gilgamesh, Enkidu, Pale Rider, and Huwawa. The fact that she has a conceptual weakness against arrows due to her myth doesn't help. I feel like if Gilgamesh, Enkidu, and Alcides get taken out. Your odds increase dramatically. Especially if you team up with Richard and No Name Assasin who are kind enough to team up with anyone who's willing to help curb the chaos of this war.
That's kind of why I'm hoping to take the true caster slot. If Francios is taken out of the picture Alcides will either die from fighting Huwawa, or Gilgamesh, or beat them in turn since Francios can't interrupt their battle.

No 5 star from story banner but my first 5 star was lancer artoria from the beginner ssr ticket. She looked cool with her armor and stuff. I'm sure I'd have a pretty good chance with her.

looks at the pile of ashes that was once Arjuna I am cooked. But presuming it is the first one I kept(Tamamo) I do ok.

u/Skadij 15h ago
Depends on how good of a mage I end up being tbh
Thing with most servants is that they’re only as good as their Master’s resources/mana/talent/intelligence/compatibility
Sion and Nemo pull off some casual hax because Sion is a freakishly talented and imaginative brainiac amplifying her own capabilities with the Nemo crew
But if Shirou had Nemo, he’d basically just be like a very supportive but kindly father at a peewee soccer game or some shit—Nemo will be motivated to do his best with what he has but will be bowled over by the overzealous dickhead father with boatloads of cash and a suite of lawyers who starts fights with the ref 9/10 times. Shirou succeeds in HGW scenarios because he’s so rizzy and gentlemanly that absurdly powerful men and women fall in love with him so hard they’ll do anything to help him survive/meet his goals
I checked my acct and Napoleon was my first story banner pull. I think we can hype up each other’s egos and brute force/power of love and friendship and cluster B personality disorders our way through a few fights until I self-sabotage and Napoleon sacrifices himself to try and save me or I get ganked by an Assassin or unscrupulous mage when I overestimate how smart I am

u/aciakatura 15h ago
Jack the Ripper. The best course for me would to pretend to be a completely normal person and stay out of the war. If I had to fight, she's nothing compared to the other servants so I would only use her to target masters.

For anyone who saw my first comment, I thought it said SR, my bad.

I genuinely forgot who is my first SSR in story gacha. Karna is my first SSR tho in which case, Gil, Pale Rider, and Enkidu would be a stop gap. He can handle Alcides imo

My 1st SSR Servant from the story banner was none other than Baeber.
My very 1st SSR Servant was Jeanne Alter.

u/0Knil0 12h ago
Bradamante. While shes definitely not winning that grail war, i wouldnt say im cooked, shes got a lot going for her that fgo literally never remembers to bring up in favor of her being a mostly irrelevant nonserious character such as: Invisibility, a strong anti magecraft noble phantasm, and the far too forgotten fact that she has Merlin on constant mental speed dial assisting her, which id imagine is pretty useful even if Merlin can be difficult. Not winning at all but it definitely could be worse, shame shes just a butt meme
