@Anon Yeah, leveling up just a few Servants isn't something I'd recommend.

A common misconception that many new players take to heart is "rarity = power," but this couldn't be more wrong. I remember I was helping someone out during the Christmas event a month ago; he'd heard that Waver was an OP Servant and was lucky enough to find someone who'd Grailed him to 100. He would always use him, and then there was a 40AP quest that had Mary, Atalanta, and Boudica as the bosses. He was so confused as to why he was always losing (Spoiler alert: Waver is a Caster, which is weak to Riders. And there were two of them.)

The fact is, there is no one Servant who can do everything necessary to win a battle. For example, Jeanne may have the highest HP in the game, but her ATK suffers as a result - if she's the last one standing in a battle, you'd better bring snacks. Heracles may be one of the best Berserkers in the game because of survivabilty, but the fact is, he's a Berserker. Hit him hard enough, long enough, and he will go down. Class Advantage makes this all the more apparent. Artoria is considered meh by fandom standards, but for all of Drake's power as a Rider, she'll lose against an Assassin mob.

Cu and Marie should definitely be leveled; they're some amazing tanks (an understatement). In an event like Saber Wars where the bosses have such high HP, you'll want some characters who can take a few hits.
