FGO Tier List - Every Servant Ranked

Looking for an FGO tier list? The RPG based on the Fate franchise of manga, anime, visual novels, and games originally launched back in 2015, and since then it's accrued a whole bunch of characters – or 'servants', as the game calls them. Like Arknights, Azur Lane, or Epic Seven, there are actually so many characters and character variants that it's pretty hard to keep track of them all, especially when some come from limited-time events, and others can only be earned in very specific ways.

In this guide, we've gathered together every playable Fate/Grand Order character and broken them down into classes and rarity, including some of the smaller classes like Alter Ego, Foreigner, and Moon Cancer. We didn't include either the Shielder or Pretender classes, since they only contain one character (Mashu Kyrielight for the former, and Oberon for the latter). We also didn't include the Beast class, since they are all unplayable servants.

That said, here's our FGO tier list.

How To Get More Fate/Grand Order Characters

Like most other mobile Gacha games, Fate/Grand Order uses a summoning mechanic that lets you pull new servants. You can unlock characters through limited-time event banners, and by progressing through the game's main story. This is usually the best way of getting strong characters for free.

And that's every character in Fate/Grand Order. If you're looking for more character lists, why not check out some of our others? We have a Honkai Impact characters list, as well as a Genshin Impact tier list for the latest and greatest additions to the game.
