@Themasterofw Heracles is one of the 10 SRs you can get during the tutorial summon, so you had a 1/10 chance of getting him. He's easily the best of the bunch, but that's not to say that (some of) the other aren't absolute trash.

D'eon is one of the best tanks in the game so far and his higher stats make sure he'll be around to taunt more than Georgios.

EMIYA is a lackluster Servant at first, but his interludes and strengthenings make him rly powerful.

Liz is hands-down one of the best offensive team supports especially if you have a lot of female Servants.

Marie is a goddamn tank with a skill that gives a three-time evade and a five-turn heal.

Martha is support Rider who focuses on heals and debuff removal.

Carmilla is an amazing ST Assassin who can get you through Okeanos if the rest of your party is low-level (assuming the boss isn't a Caster).

Tamamo is vastly inferior to Heracles, but she's still a Berserker with high HP and incredibly useful for wave clear. Note that all SR Berserkers - Tamamo, Lancelot, Frankenstein - are all considered inferior to Heracles because Heracles is a god, but they all have different ways to fight than just killing an enemy to death.

Siegfried, despite his status as an eternal meme in the FGO world, has his uses. He boasts one of the highest HPs in the game of all SRs and has a heal and debuff removal to ensure that he stays on the field for a while. I actually plan on leveling up his Dragon-Slayer skill for Saber Wars because most of the bosses have the Dragon Attribute, so he'll take less and do more damage against them. And then like EMIYA, he gets huge improvements. He's definitely at the lower end of the scale, but he's still usable. He was my starting 4-star and he almost never leaves the field at Lv50, with skills at 4-4-4.

Stheno actually seems worse to me than Siegfried - her NP doesn't do damage and while it can Insta-Kill, many bosses have very high Death-Resist so it's negligible when it really matters. But like Siegfried, she does have her moments to shine. Her third skill Whim of Goddess increases party's attack and further increases the attack of Divine Servants. Got Euryale or Medusa? They've got Divinity too and you can make a Gorgon team. The Cu Chu Train of Caster, Proto, and Lancer Cu also have Divinity and have the same Protection of the Arrows to ensure that while Stheno buffs the Cus, the Cus will be dealing MASSIVE damage to make up for Stheno's meh attacks.

Each Servant has their uses, it's just that some may require more investment than others. That said, Heracles DOES have a rate-up soon, so save your Quartz and Tickets.
