User blog:ARandomStone/Grail Trivia for new players

REMINDER: THIS IS BY NO MEANS  MEANT AS AN ACTUAL WIKI; IT'S JUST GUIDE FOR NEW PLAYERS TO GET A GRASP AND A FEELING FOR THE GAME'S FUNCTIONS AND A SORT OF HELP I WANTED TO PROVIDE

As a new player in F/GO I was basically dumbstruck by how deep this game delves in matters such as team composition, combat strategies vs different enemies and using my servants to my advantage.

In this blog post I'd like to address something that many new players struggle with once they learn the basics of the game and how to level their servants: The grailing.

In order to grail a servant you need to ascend them to their final stage, which you can do by leveling them and then increasing their max level cap in the ascension menu provided by da Vinci in the enhancement section.

And of course you need a very important item: a holy grail.

You can obtain them by completing singularities and some events.

A more detailed description can be found in the dedicated wiki article here:

But let's move on. Like everybody else I was wondering which servant to use my first grail on.

Should I just keep it and wait for an incredibly strong servant like good ol' Gil to come? (I'm still waiting btw)

Maybe I should strengthen my strongest servant to make him/her even stronger?

How about using it on a useful low rarity servant I like?

Well, grailing a servant technically strengthens their stats, so it isn't wasted on any servant as long as you like them and actively use them in your teams. Many players recommend grailing low star servants since you can easily max their NP-Lv and thus dish out some good numbers while making the servants worthwhile even in late game content.

Others may tell you to just go for raw power and grail SRs and SSRs to make them your ultimate trump card.

In the end I'd just like you to pause that train of thought and ask you one question:

Is there a servant you are particularly fond of and do you like them in your team? Yes? Then a grail definitely isn't wasted on them :)

We are playing a PvE game with no actual competition between players and you can technically clear the whole game with any team you like. And that's the fun part. Just play the game the way you feel comfortable and grail whoever seems to be worth it to you.

And if you have any questions about the game don't hesitate to ask the community, we are glad to help anybody who wants to play the game we all love and celebrate here.

Thank you for reading, good luck and see you in Chaldea.
