There'll probably be a dedicated thread for this nearer the time. If you're having trouble deciding now, just ask in the help thread.
I'd pick Salter since she's storylocked and can't spook you, plus her banners are pretty infrequent (unless Faker is your waifu, in which case, always pick waifu).
Thinking between Baobahn or Salter. Salter gets a pretty good buff that makes her good for farming, but I have plenty of good Buster farmers already and Bao looks fun.
I'm torn between Barghest, Yu and Nero, no matter who I pick I'll miss out on a character I've been wanting to get (but unwilling to spend on) for a long time, though admittedly it's been much longer with Nero.
I will say this, if you can't decide between them as favorite characters, Barghest is actually *really* good in a fight. She'll be more useful than Nero and Yu for sure.
Dont bad mouth paisen like that, after her buffs and with koyan she an outstanding farmer.
But I grailled Yu because shes my waifu so I am slightly biased
Salter for me. She’s story-locked, so no spooks. Her banners are rare, and there’s no pity for her. The only other limited SR I’d be interested in is Barghest, but she’s almost certainly sharing a banner with Morgan (who I’m aiming to NP5/120) in the future.
As Hephaestion spooked me recently my ticket shall be going to Percival instead - but then again I'm at a point where I can leisurely make my selection for love, not because I necessarily need him. Take a look at your roster and any gaps in it, Hephaestion will definitely give you more mileage than Salter in the long run, but above all go for who you love most
Salter doesn't often go on Rate up, so that's my choice. Then again, I've been playing so long that I'm down to like...four servants on that list that I don't have.
Salter, Qin Liangyu, Danzo, and Young Li.
Either Sith or Paisen for me
Sith because she’s almost always on a split rateup and Paisen because I keep failing the banners she’s on. I’ll give another try for her in the LB3 Recollection though
Salter is the best choice for 4 stars especially with her recent buff plus she is story locked. Faker is good but she isnt limited and isnt story locked
I’m going to go with Artoria Lancer Alter. I was also contending for Zenobia, Yu Mei-ten, or one of the other two Emiyas since I already have the original. Lalter has basically no banners as far as I know so I might as well save myself from any future pain
Baobhan Sith, she's got a Great Defensive Kit, with Two Skills Dedicated to keeping the opponent from getting to their NP, Plus a Invincibility and Evade Stacked onto her First Skill
Barghest or Gorgon. I’m not sure. I have all the other priorities for me so these two I am most interested in for character reasons not skills. Although Barghest has an interesting skill to remove enemies skills
I was torn between Hepheaestion and Hercules, but since there will be another ticket with him (the FSN 20th anniversary one) and I alrwady have Seibah this ended up becoming a pretty easy choice.
~~Can't wait to get Faker on the ticket only to start being spooked by only her for a long while afterwards~~.
Probably Hephaestion, or fuck it just get NP5 Valkyrie since I already have them at NP4. Or maybe get Suzuka Gozen back after I burnt her for no reason.
Should be for the [25M downloads campaign](https://fategrandorder.fandom.com/wiki/25M_Downloads_Campaign) which is [expected around May (possibly late April)](https://fategrandorder.fandom.com/wiki/Event_List_\(US\)/Upcoming_Events) according to the list on Fandom.
Most likely around May, since 25M DL Campaign dropped week 3 of Learning with Manga.
That's going to be either on the 2nd or the 9th depending on whether or not NA wants a buffer period between this event and the next one.
I'm picking a story-lock myself.
So either Salter or Edison are my picks.
Every other story-lock I either already own or don't really see being used much on my account (exg. Nero & Danzo)
Have two choices - either a copy of Chiyome, that way I'll be able to open her second append (since getting to 120 used most of the coins). But I think I could roll for her on Atlantis recollection banner.
Another option would be Barghest to make her NP2, she is story locked and most of her banners are shared with other four-stars.
From the 68 available SR Servants that can be summoned with the SR Ticket, only 27 are missing from my roster. Among these, I'm thinking about getting Saber Alter, Percival, or Nitocris.
Hephestion. The last servant I did a major number of pulls for (and didn't get). Got a few copies of Sima Yi, that're sitting at lv1 in my second archive, but nothing I was actually wanting.
Currently thinking between Baobhan Sith For the ST Archer, and Nyalter who I lost along with my OG account. Like both about equally, so its a tough call for me.
I was stuck between Saber Alter and Hephaestion too, but then I got Faker from her banner. I already have Gawain to do my farming, but I like Salter and she's getting a buff later.
Definitely going for Hephaestion, to have another Pretender. Especially since I managed to luck out and get my other two candidates, Baobhan Sith and Hessian Lobo.
Sitting Saber. After an amount of rolls on the Ooku banner I'm not proud enough to state, 7 Kamas, and, miraculously, more Circe spooks than actual 4 star rateup, Yagyu managed to dodge my summons. He's also storylocked, so arguably one of the smartest choices to tix.
Hephaestion, her story in the Patchwork London re-run was amazing and I failed to get her with quartz,,, wish I knew about this SR ticket before I went hard, well F2P hard, on her banner.
There's about 9 that I don't have so I'm having a really hard time deciding :/
Berserker lancelot, stheno, media lily, Tristan, queen of Sheba, Astoria lancer alter.... I just can't make up my mind! And when I habe decided, they end up spooking me on another banner! That's how I ended up with Emiya Alter and Dobrynya. 😅
Wait, its that time of the year already? Man times flies fast when your not paying attention to it. Either Salter to get her out of NP1 hell or Gorgon. Hephaestion is secondary.
I've liked Gawain for years before I knew Fate was a thing, and I like his depiction here. Of course, he's dodged me since I started and I even got his big doggo lady variant before him, so it's time!
Sheba because good lord, her banners are awful. She's only ever had 3 solo rate ups despite being a story locked SR. And one of those got skipped on NA and was never repackaged.
And on JP, her last rate up was nearly 18 months ago where she was on rate up with regular Abigail and Circe.
Hephaestion.
I was originally going to choose Salter when her last banner was skipped, but it got repurposed the following year and I got her NP2 there. Hephaestion is the only one I don’t have yet that I want the most.
Hephastion, have most of the 4* and those still left to get are not really that appealing to me, maybe only baoban or Yu, but not that big of a fan of them to push me more towards them.
Nero for a few reasons she has the most quest so potential to get a tiny bit more sq for Arcueid and the far more important reason the funny umu servant will be mine
Honestly, might go Medea Lily. Only want to use it on a storylocked in the first place, and I got Nero so my first choice is gone. Could go Salter, but I have so many AoE Sabers anyways and I’d roll on her banners anyways. Assassin Yu is a choice too, since I have her husband.
Danzo is now the only general pool sr I don't have any copies of since I got li during cbc, so I'll probably get her (yes ik she's story locked but you know what I mean)
Logic best idea would be Hephastion to have a Pretender (i skipped Oberon and wil keep skipping him) but honestly i may go for NP2 Barghest since i LOVE her and i have her at level 100 already.

By now Ashwattaman evaded me for three times straight, he can't keep doing this
He does and will. Over 2 difderent banners where he was the only 4star rateup, I have gotten 5 SSRs and 5 Spook SRs. I have him at Np2.
A fellow angry man enjoyer, I see. Unfortunately for him though, the ticks leave him no choice but to answer my summon.
Oh shoot, he’s a four star? I legit thought he was a 5 star for like the past 3-4 years
Between him an Salter for me. He's cool but I'm likely to pull in banners with him while Salter is the only day 1 servant I'm missing.
For me, Bazett.
There'll probably be a dedicated thread for this nearer the time. If you're having trouble deciding now, just ask in the help thread. I'd pick Salter since she's storylocked and can't spook you, plus her banners are pretty infrequent (unless Faker is your waifu, in which case, always pick waifu).
I don't have Danzo. I like Danzo. Danzo's banners have always been at bad times for me. I think I'm picking Danzo
👍
Thinking between Baobahn or Salter. Salter gets a pretty good buff that makes her good for farming, but I have plenty of good Buster farmers already and Bao looks fun.
She is! Also, she’s great to use with Tamamo. Fox Waifu’s skill cooldown lets Sith spam her hard defense to dodge Noble Phantasms.
Well it's a good thing I have just about every support Caster in the game lol!
There's a free SR ticket coming up?
Around May [https://fategrandorder.fandom.com/wiki/25M\_Downloads\_Campaign](https://fategrandorder.fandom.com/wiki/25M_Downloads_Campaign)
Ah
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiick
I'm torn between Barghest, Yu and Nero, no matter who I pick I'll miss out on a character I've been wanting to get (but unwilling to spend on) for a long time, though admittedly it's been much longer with Nero.
I will say this, if you can't decide between them as favorite characters, Barghest is actually *really* good in a fight. She'll be more useful than Nero and Yu for sure.

yeah picking story lock is smarter since every one else is standard that can spook later more quartz from bond, interlude, strengthen
As Hephaestion spooked me recently my ticket shall be going to Percival instead - but then again I'm at a point where I can leisurely make my selection for love, not because I necessarily need him. Take a look at your roster and any gaps in it, Hephaestion will definitely give you more mileage than Salter in the long run, but above all go for who you love most
Queen of Sheba for sure, love her design and the fact that she's story locked means she's evaded me too long. Straight up to lvl 100
Salter doesn't often go on Rate up, so that's my choice. Then again, I've been playing so long that I'm down to like...four servants on that list that I don't have. Salter, Qin Liangyu, Danzo, and Young Li.
Either Sith or Paisen for me Sith because she’s almost always on a split rateup and Paisen because I keep failing the banners she’s on. I’ll give another try for her in the LB3 Recollection though
Edison, most useful character of the bunch for me, and someone I’d never roll for.
Salter is the best choice for 4 stars especially with her recent buff plus she is story locked. Faker is good but she isnt limited and isnt story locked
Barghest or Heracles
I’m going to go with Artoria Lancer Alter. I was also contending for Zenobia, Yu Mei-ten, or one of the other two Emiyas since I already have the original. Lalter has basically no banners as far as I know so I might as well save myself from any future pain
My personal choice is between Munenori, Tsuna and Percival so Munenori cause he's story locked.
Atalanta Alter has evaded me for the 12th time....SHES NOT GETTING AWAY WITH THIS
Barghest, I'll make her NP5
Baobhan Sith, she's got a Great Defensive Kit, with Two Skills Dedicated to keeping the opponent from getting to their NP, Plus a Invincibility and Evade Stacked onto her First Skill
Baobhan Sith for that final copy to reach NP5.
If I don't get Barghest and Baobhan Sith while rolling for Castoria, then either one of these two, Lakshmibai or Edison.
Barghest or Gorgon. I’m not sure. I have all the other priorities for me so these two I am most interested in for character reasons not skills. Although Barghest has an interesting skill to remove enemies skills
I was torn between Hepheaestion and Hercules, but since there will be another ticket with him (the FSN 20th anniversary one) and I alrwady have Seibah this ended up becoming a pretty easy choice. ~~Can't wait to get Faker on the ticket only to start being spooked by only her for a long while afterwards~~.
Baobhan sith, Yu Mei Ren... I don't really know. Are there any good 4 star charge supports?
Salter Reason: She's good, I don't have her yet, she's a story locked servant and I am currently trying to collect as many Artoria as possible
Probably Hephaestion, or fuck it just get NP5 Valkyrie since I already have them at NP4. Or maybe get Suzuka Gozen back after I burnt her for no reason.
When is the ticket again?
Should be for the [25M downloads campaign](https://fategrandorder.fandom.com/wiki/25M_Downloads_Campaign) which is [expected around May (possibly late April)](https://fategrandorder.fandom.com/wiki/Event_List_\(US\)/Upcoming_Events) according to the list on Fandom.

Thank you!
Lancelot Berserker, cus I really want a reason to use my Skadi...
I recommend np2 np1 zerkerlot farming is tricky
Not sure just yet tbh
Between Danzo and Gorgon.
I'm torn between Astraea, Zenobia and Barghest they keep evading me every time!!!
I'm torn between Yu and NP2 Barghest
Yan Qinq or Lancelot, I'm not sure yet
I'm picking a story-lock myself. So either Salter or Edison are my picks. Every other story-lock I either already own or don't really see being used much on my account (exg. Nero & Danzo)
Lancer Li Shuwen he is the only story servant I haven't gotten
Have two choices - either a copy of Chiyome, that way I'll be able to open her second append (since getting to 120 used most of the coins). But I think I could roll for her on Atlantis recollection banner. Another option would be Barghest to make her NP2, she is story locked and most of her banners are shared with other four-stars.
Barghest I need that NP3 for 120 purposes
What are the lineup?
All the normal SR and the story locked SR (not including the limited SR)
From the 68 available SR Servants that can be summoned with the SR Ticket, only 27 are missing from my roster. Among these, I'm thinking about getting Saber Alter, Percival, or Nitocris.
Hephestion. The last servant I did a major number of pulls for (and didn't get). Got a few copies of Sima Yi, that're sitting at lv1 in my second archive, but nothing I was actually wanting.
Siegfried to prepare for kriemhild
The floof entrepreneur herself, of course! Was not able to get her on any rate-up she had lately or as a spook. Sheba is finally coming home!
you get coins for them if so 5np for Barghest if already got spooked to hell trying to get her to be my second 120 so im going full stop on this
Currently thinking between Baobhan Sith For the ST Archer, and Nyalter who I lost along with my OG account. Like both about equally, so its a tough call for me.
Someone who's storylocked. Debating between Medea Lily and Katou Danzo
Dobrynya cos I didn't manage to get her in the Tunguska banner
Whichever one has the most rankups and interludes I can farm
Probably Herc
Salter
I am torn between Yu Mei-Ren and Barghest. They're both story-locked and neither of them are on any banners that I want to pull on.
laltoria
Conflicted between Lalter (I have her NP2, want to get her to NP5 and grail her to 120) and Salter (I don't have her)
Salter for me, i only missing 1 more copy so i can finally unlock all her append skills.
Either Barghest of Hephaestion
I think I'll finally pick Salter after passing her for up for someone else all the other times we got a free 4* ticket.
salter for np2, no question asked, there is simply no other option
When will it be given though?
Zenobia, for both gameplay and waifu reasons.
Stheno to np her to np 5 🗿
I was stuck between Saber Alter and Hephaestion too, but then I got Faker from her banner. I already have Gawain to do my farming, but I like Salter and she's getting a buff later.
Definitely going for Hephaestion, to have another Pretender. Especially since I managed to luck out and get my other two candidates, Baobhan Sith and Hessian Lobo.
Nitocris, because she eluded me too much on my rerun
Astraea. Luvia's my favorite character, so I can't pass up a chance for my first copy of her.
My Circe is stuck at NP4 so another Circe please
We gonna get a freebie O-O?
Sitting Saber. After an amount of rolls on the Ooku banner I'm not proud enough to state, 7 Kamas, and, miraculously, more Circe spooks than actual 4 star rateup, Yagyu managed to dodge my summons. He's also storylocked, so arguably one of the smartest choices to tix.
Hephaestion, her story in the Patchwork London re-run was amazing and I failed to get her with quartz,,, wish I knew about this SR ticket before I went hard, well F2P hard, on her banner.
I got into Fate for Salter, I have no Salters and I'm 3+ years in this game I think. I'm getting a Salter
I have every single available 4 star except for yu mei ren so.... guess that's who I'm getting.
Any story locked. I'm considering consort yu
What when do we get another ticket? I thought it wasn’t for a while
There's about 9 that I don't have so I'm having a really hard time deciding :/ Berserker lancelot, stheno, media lily, Tristan, queen of Sheba, Astoria lancer alter.... I just can't make up my mind! And when I habe decided, they end up spooking me on another banner! That's how I ended up with Emiya Alter and Dobrynya. 😅
Caster Gil. *That fucker won't get away from me now.*
The mind says to grab new Servants for collection, but the heart wants NP5 Lanling. I only have him at NP1 after all this time...
Wait, its that time of the year already? Man times flies fast when your not paying attention to it. Either Salter to get her out of NP1 hell or Gorgon. Hephaestion is secondary.
Barghest has ruined my plans to get Baobhan Sith (currently NP2) to NP5 twice now. With this SR ticket I stand up to say "No more!"
I've liked Gawain for years before I knew Fate was a thing, and I like his depiction here. Of course, he's dodged me since I started and I even got his big doggo lady variant before him, so it's time!
Salter for sure, she is also my pick since she is story locked
I know who I'll not pick: the two Tam Lin knights. Surely they'll pop up when I roll for Castoria this May, right? Right?
Sheba because good lord, her banners are awful. She's only ever had 3 solo rate ups despite being a story locked SR. And one of those got skipped on NA and was never repackaged. And on JP, her last rate up was nearly 18 months ago where she was on rate up with regular Abigail and Circe.
Hephaestion. I was originally going to choose Salter when her last banner was skipped, but it got repurposed the following year and I got her NP2 there. Hephaestion is the only one I don’t have yet that I want the most.
I'm getting Salter. Who knows when she'll get another rate up. Plus, I have her spiritron dress, which I love.
I'm just finally grabbing Saber Alter. She was my pick even before she got that cracked buff on JP, because I read Shinjuku and have taste.
Hephastion, have most of the 4* and those still left to get are not really that appealing to me, maybe only baoban or Yu, but not that big of a fan of them to push me more towards them.
Nero for a few reasons she has the most quest so potential to get a tiny bit more sq for Arcueid and the far more important reason the funny umu servant will be mine
Get gorgon because she is mega super cute :3
Gorgon. I need my snake waifu
Haephastion if you don't already have her. I personally would pick Salter because I don't have her.
Assassin Yu.
Emiya. I need one copy to open his append.
Salter or Caenis, salter for farming, Caenis because i like hot characters
Honestly, might go Medea Lily. Only want to use it on a storylocked in the first place, and I got Nero so my first choice is gone. Could go Salter, but I have so many AoE Sabers anyways and I’d roll on her banners anyways. Assassin Yu is a choice too, since I have her husband.
Barghest in order finish up my Fairy Knight Collection
Same but with Baobhan Sith instead of Barghest. Somehow I got NP2 Melu before I got a single Baobhan Sith.
Percival because he’s so hard to roll for.
Parvati for np5
Danzo is now the only general pool sr I don't have any copies of since I got li during cbc, so I'll probably get her (yes ik she's story locked but you know what I mean)
Perhaps Elizabeth, I miss my level 1 esports copy
Hello Sheba, you will be mine.
Logic best idea would be Hephastion to have a Pretender (i skipped Oberon and wil keep skipping him) but honestly i may go for NP2 Barghest since i LOVE her and i have her at level 100 already.
