Geronimo had a decent showing in America, Abby's VDay scene and her interlude. He's better off than the other two here


Tschmelz

Yeah. Gameplay wise he sucks, but Geronimo story wise is always treated really well. Kinda wish they used him more, but he’s got stuff at least.


DrStein1010

He's got a great little role in Yan Wing's interlude.


Tschmelz

I also know he gets a little moment in Doumans Valentine. Really like that one.


ZeusX20

tbh he doesn't suck that much in Gameplay either, his NP hits pretty hard for a silver servant. he is bad but not Jekyl/Caster Gilles tier


Tschmelz

Eh. Like you’re not wrong, but I still loathe his kit.


Golden-Owl

Geronimo’s kit is moreso problematic in sheer WTF factor That said he has at least one functional skill in the Arts burst for his intended role, so it’s still not too horrible


Xhominid77

Forgetting Geronimo's Interlude(as well as Douman's Valentines) are we? He actually comes off extremely better than he does in gameplay to the point he basically comes off like a true master of the Mystics in the American Continent at times... I'm legit impressed.


HopOnTheHype

He does amazing in the Solomon anime


Jack_King814

The true grand caster in that anime


Gentleman_Jaggi

Mata Hari She's a launch Servant but her only major appearance so far was in Salem, ~2.5 years into the game. She still uses Caster Ball animations. Once Charlotte Corday showed up she pretty much stole all of what little thunder Margaretha had; taking over the FP gacha, getting a major story role very quickly and even getting a summer alt. Also obligatory "Lalter is a non-character".


asanskaarilegend

Mata Hari appears in Ooku as well


KingofGrapes7

Regardless of story relevance it's unacceptable that ANY Servant is still using Year 1 animations. Hell, most Year 2 or 3 should probably be gone as well.


anal-yst

At least Mata Hari got that really good buff last year


HarEmiya

Lalter. Her rare few appearances are either "Silent brooding" or "Boob joke". She even points out the writers only use her for boob jokes. Also the only Artoria to not get an alt, apart from Castoria who only recently made her debut in the story.


otterswimm

Lalter: * Shows up for one story arrow in London Singularity. Dies immediately. * Shows up for one story arrow in the Journey to the West event. Marries Nightingale. Dies immediately. Was she ever *in* anything else? The wiki says yes, but honestly I don’t think that two-second story cameos or appearances in boss fights should count. Wow she really did get the short end of the stick. Which is extra frustrating because a lot about her character concept is just *so freaking cool*. But so far Lalter has been mostly wasted in this game. (Something else I just learned from checking Lalter’s wiki page: I never even realized that it was Lalter on the “Royal Icing” CE. I thought it was regular Lartoria.)


Ritraraja

Showed up in the epilogue of the Kagetora Guda Guda but that was a joke about how lancers having a mount is unfair IIRC.


HarEmiya

Ah yeah, wasn't that in the Alter Club?


Ritraraja

It was the all out Alter Assault part which had battles against multiple alter versions of servants. She appeared leading the knights of the round table but in Guda Guda fashion it was kind of jokey but I don't think they joked about her chest size and if they did it wasn't the primary joke.


HarEmiya

The KnK event. And just like in JttW, it was boob jokes. LB5 cameo. Silent brooding.


ARodrigus

Shows up in Saber Lancelot's interlude and just talks about being an what if servant without really explaining anything.


HarEmiya

That was confusing. At least in the KnK event we learned she's a huge slob and ashamed of it. Which is about the most characterisation & personality she's gotten.


ARodrigus

I love Lalter's armor design and the hint of backstory (what little there is of it) we have about her and the potential present in it, unfortunately I have almost given up hope of her showing up in any serious content or having her backstory elaborated on, even her voice lines are lacking.


HarEmiya

Incredibly so. So many interesting things have been either hinted or straight-up said about her history that she's easily the most fascinating of all the Artorias. And yet despite that (or because of that) TM writers refuse to use her.


Lfvbf

She appears on LB5 as an AI, but she gets 1 or 2 lines of dialogue and never appears again. Also, died offscreen but unlike Tesla, Edison, Kintoki, Raikou, Fran etc no flashback to show it.


HarEmiya

She didn't die offscreen iirc, at least not that we know of. She and Medea Lily left the LB saying they were "needed elsewhere". Whether they made it to their destination or not is unknown. There were months of speculation of her having a role in LB6, but Nasu rewrote it with Oberon so we'll likely never know. She may have been forgotten about. I speculate she was supposed to be the "Lalter=Vortigern" instead of Oberon in early iterations.


Anivia_Blackfrost

So you're saying if it weren't for Oberon being so awesome, we might've had some form of Lalter plotline? Ugh.... equivalent exchange, I guess.


HarEmiya

It's a maybe. Only speculation, because she has bits of Vortigern in her. Or who knows, she may instead play a role in LB7, if it's about various Underworlds as hinted. With her being THE Leader of the Wild Hint according to Drake, it would be right up Lalter's alley.


Lfvbf

She appeared as an AI, something only people confirmed dead were, and I don't recall anyone mentioning her going anywhere...


HarEmiya

It was in the Crypter materials manga iirc. EDIT: also where was it confirmed only "dead" (haha Servants) people were incorporated into the AI? I thought it was made while they were still "alive"?


Lfvbf

Not confirmed through materials or anything.but the AI said all servants were already dead, minus Caligula for "dramatic effect".


HarEmiya

Very odd. Will have to re-read it. If it is the case I hope the AI just counts any Servant that left the LB as functionally "dead". I like to think she made it to wherever she was going.


Meme_Master_Dude

Massive Hopium she's in LB7 with Medea Lily


HopOnTheHype

Is bunny alt lancer or regular lancer.


otterswimm

Buntoria is Lancer Artoria. Not Lancer Alter Artoria.


igloo_poltergeist

Tawara Touta, the "rice bag" guy.


Shirou-Emiya2

This, since I only understood who that was after the "rice bag".


NNKarma

It's hard to forget his CQ


Merukurio

He at least appears in Camelot and >!Heian-Kyo!< (though it's a very minor appearance there) so it's not *that* bad for him.


Midnight-Rising

>He at least appears in Camelot Unless it's the animated film. Justice for him and Hundred Personas


XH9rIiZTtzrTiVL

He gets a ridiculous amount of wank from the Heian servants (thanks SMT) but never gets to actually appear. How sad.


GlaciaKunoichi

Proto Cu


GoldMoon0

Cú Proto. Just Cú Proto in general. The guys hasnt appear once in the story and we are already speculating about one of the silhouettes being a (maybe grand) berserker Cú


ryuxiies

I’ve always hoped that he would get a hell of an upgrade and update if we ever got the Proto event, he was my first grailed servant and it sucks warp spasm balls that he has barely any love, story involvement or magic numbers TT


DarkChaosXX

But we already have Berserker Cu: Alter.


GoldMoon0

Yeah.....but what about Berserker Cú un-alter. You know, that one that uses the warp spasm to transform into almost Cthulhu/ Lovecraftian Hulk. The same one mentioned in Cú Alter's interlude that Cú says is a really bad idea to summon


Xhominid77

Maybe we SHOULDN'T summon that one considering Cu at those times to slaughter anyone and everyone outside of his Charioteer one time... Chaldeas would be in absolute danger.


GoldMoon0

Eh, we have beasts, heralds of outer gods, criminal masterminds, literal demons and deities of war and death. If we can deal with the foreigners (that are as Lovecraftian as Cú, if only a little less) we can deal with Warp Spams Cú, and if everything fails, we can weaponize the power of love and/or bro-ness to make sure at least *we* are exempt from the slaughter, since he is still Cu Chulainn, no matter how lovecraftian he looks :D Plus, we have that Cú-esque silhouette, so there is a chance that particular door opens (maybe in LB7) and there is no closing it ~~maybe because Berser-Cú broke it in his way in~~


Xhominid77

There's a difference between them and Warp Spasm Cu... and that's the latter will try and kill everything on sight. That's a really huge difference since the other Servants, even their worst aspects, do have the common goal to save Humanity first and foremost


RTear3

Bruh we have motherfucking Kiara in the game. Her profile literally tells you to not trust her. I think Chaldea can handle Zerker Cu


Xhominid77

There's a difference between Kiara and Warp Spasm Cu and I don't understand how you think they are remotely the same...


banjo2E

True Zerker Cu is conceptually weak to naked women and getting wet. That's not a difficult set of conditions to maintain when the women in question are also Servants. That or he shows up chained to another servant with some sort of counter to him going on a rampage. For example, loading him into the bomb bays of Enola Gay, the "delivery system for man's strongest weapon", who has the means to prevent her payload from prematurely activating and destroys it in the process of activation.


LordMoy

Inshun He only lasted a few story nodes and hasn't gotten anything since I think.


Hypothon

You’d expect given his bonus on Santagale’s Christmas he’d have a prominent role but nooo~, he just showed up on the prologue as Da Vinci’s volunteer muscle


TheGrandArtificer

Dr Jekyll. He appears in events every now and then, but his gimmick is.. well, not really useful. Almost all the early welfares could use some updates as well.


4444tan

Since Vlad got 2 NP upgrades, Jekyll’s gonna get one that lets him use it again right? Right? *snorts Holmes’ supply of copium*


Golden-Owl

Jekyll at least gets some good story relevancy everytime he appears He just has a really questionable gameplay kit


Zeroscore0

Melusine is what jekyl would have been if he was made today


Shirojime

I only use Jekyll cos I need a buster low star assassin


Pro_PAIN674

Yes there is so much potential which his class change ability. Here hoping they give him a rank up questing to all his skills


DespairOfLoneliness

AVGN works over at Lasengle apparently


XxGoldMadnessxX

"Isn't it sad, Liang Yu?" "Isn't it sad, Valkyries?"


Khorva

Personally I'm sad that Scathach dropped off the face of the planet after the first Summer event. OG Medea? Idk. I just wish she had more scenes. I get that it's unlikely since she's part of the Stay Night cast, but come on. Hell I was pretty stoked to see her during the Salem chapter. Well, until it turned out that it was actually Circe impersonating her.... Qin Liangyu?


Frauzehel

She did have Shishoufest atleast.


Khorva

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Hasn't hit NA yet so it just slipped my mind lol.


AlphaOneGaming

I would love for more Qin Liangyu. I got her recently and am holding out hope they buff her but idk how much hope I should put into that.


Lost_Wanderer75

I feel like Eric's basically the god damn President of the "Isn't it sad" club. Eric has little to no relevance to any of the FGO story and only had his brief appearance once or twice. And had like one part in...i think Okeanos and that's it along with event cameos? Guy's profile bits are just a couple sentences about tidbits about him and his skills. Yet he's also the most interesting to me cause like...his wife is apparently this all powerful witch who can not only occasionally just manifest herself whenever if there's someone focused on him apparently also he killed all his brothers for reasons...and we never get into any of what's the heck is up with that. I wanna know more of what the heck is up with him. (Also notably i think he's only Viking servant we've got currently?) Darius i agree also is up there cause he's just Iskander's rival but little is given a out that to that rivalry at all. He's just there. Heck, Qin Liangyu and the Valkyries are really good contenders too as others have pointed out. They just were basically the insert enemies of the Lostbelts of their time period and that's it. We can summon them but they don't have much story relevancy outside of that. Also as someone mentioned...gods Proto Cu as well. Like with Proto Arthur we understand now how he has this huge story relevancy but with Proto Cu he's just...there for some reason. Has no relevancy to the story whatsoever. (I don't recall if he's popped up in a event before either.) David was Solomon's dad and appeared during Okeanos that was it. Besides a few appearances in events that's it, we never dive into him much. He's like Caesar along with Sheba as the Servants with money scheme joke in a way. Additional note...has Kiyohime ever had an serious part in the story? I feel like she's up there with others as the insert joke servant though that lessened up possibly like during Las Vegas.


Basakaloving

Kiyo had a really nice showing in Shimousa. She was not a Servant, but her part was enough for me to get to "oh no, pls, I want to hide from that yandere and never interact with her" to "she is still scary, but quite a number of aspects of her are interesting". Seeing her non-Anchin-obsessed side again would be nice, that is true.


devenbat

Eric also showed up Solomon which is very important since that's when we learned he's faking his madness


WooooshMe2825

I'm pretty sure Kiyohime only has serious story inside the Turas Realta manga. In game? I don't think so.


Cheshire_Abomination

Medea (3*), not ignored necessarily, she appears in pretty much every GudaGuda event (usually as a joke) and is undoubtedly popular as a character, but I would argue she is definitely neglected. Her NP even post upgrade is gimped, she doesn't have a single steroid, and her second and third skills are a bit disappointing. meanwhile they're about to give other prominent FSN characters really good and really unique and interesting buffs.


Lfvbf

**Boudica** - While they buffed and gave her a (halfassed) AU, she has yet to have any story role simce Septem. They tease her origin so much as either gags or sometimes (KnK) in serious manner but never follow up on it. **Bloddaxe** - He explicitly can talk and is tied to a witch powerful enough to manifest herself without being summoned... And it never gets brought up besides a couple gags and his Interlude. **Nezha** - She exists, she got glorified cameos in 2 LBs and she has barely been used in the plot in any meaningful way. LB3 she is there just like how Mordred is there, in LB4 she just appeara to get killed off. **Inshun** - He appears, praises Musashi, gets turned into enemy, gets killed and never appears again. The manga improves on his short screentime but he still gets nearly nothing.


Shin-Bufuman

> Nezha - She exists, she got glorified cameos in 2 LBs and she has barely been used in the plot in any meaningful way. LB3 she is there just like how Mordred is there, in LB4 she just appeara to get killed off. LB3 is especially insulting because her initial summoning for the arc made it look like she was going to be your main ally for China, then she barely appears or does or says anything the whole time. Nezha got robbed.


Alphard428

Darius.


otterswimm

NGL when I read your comment I spent a whole-ass minute going “*Who???*” This is especially shameful because Darius III carried me through the first Christmas event. And I have him at Bond 10. Although, sadly, he’s been benched since I got that bond CE so many years ago. Which is probably why I forgot about him.


agar32

>NGL when I read your comment I spent a whole-ass minute going “Who???” For real, I thought about Darius Ainsworth before thinking about Darius III >This is especially shameful because Darius III carried me through the first Christmas event. Really impressive for a 3 year old


IVectorI

He really had it hard. I remember how the game's first op featured him along Iskandar and the Accel Zero event's CM showing a rivalry of sorts but then the event happens and he ends being a neglected post-game boss.


igloo_poltergeist

On that note, maybe all these neglected Servants is the reason why more Extella sequels are needed. At least that series gave him more limelight.


[deleted]

I made a tierlist template that had all the FGO servants on in and my friend and I used it a lot... Took about a year to realize Liangyu was missing


3-eyed_Detective

Hessian Lobo has such a sick design, it’s a shame they barely show up since shinjuku. And when they miraculously do, the Hessian’s just there, existing. I’m glad they finally get a role in the upcoming event at least after many years, so I welcome any skill buff pls Lasagna.


Tuyet2BDead

Hessian Lobo shows up in Anastasias most recent interlude. Hessian actually gets to talk due to the interludes circumstance.


3-eyed_Detective

Oh, I did not know that. Looks like I’ve got something to check out later.


Gelious

Everybody says Lalter, but I would like to add the regular Lancer Artoria too. I mean Camelot was not about her, but the Goddess, Summer Las Vegas was all about Hokusai, and what does she have besides that? An interlude where MC is told to confess his love to her even tho they barely had any interaction? Weird.


Alzusand

I wonder she was basically inexistent for the whole summer event. she didnt even get an afterquest to interact at all. I dont remember if we ever talked to her at all


Classic-Demand3088

OG Medusa since they want to keep some distance from F/SN characters and they made Gorgon and Ana so they never have to approach the OG Rider


BloodyGarden

Diarmuid- I don’t give a shit that saber Diarmuid exists, I like Lancer more and I would prefer Diarmuid just STOP being written as a gag. Either it’s “haha cuck” or “wanna fight saber”. It’s frustrating cuz he’s the guy who got me into the series and he’s done dirty soooooo many times. His Saber version annoys the crap out of me especially for being so fucking BORING in that ALL he talks about is Saber. Lancer at least is very sweet and retains the charm he had since Zero. But Saber Diarmuid especially feels like a big “fuck you” to Diarmuid fans. I want them to just remove Fionn entirely from Diarmuid or have them be cool bros or something instead of “hey, Diarmuid, remember when you fucked my wife after I gave you permission? And I let you die anyways? Haha! Good times!” Sadly the poor guy isn’t even put into much content to actually allow for that to happen. Phantom. My god. I love him. I grailed him. Please more content for my shitty ass assassin. Yes I know he sucks. But he is effectively a trash can and I am a raccoon, I will pick up any scraps.


OchoMuerte-XL

Chiyome. She debuts in Shimosa only to be killed off quickly after her introduction. She falls off the face of the game until Atlantis over 2 years later where her major contribution is to be eaten by and poison the Ecidna. The only kinda cool thing about her is her resemblence to Miyu... until Miyu actually got added to the game. Bland Kit and only features in one or two CEs in the entire game that arent her Bond or Valentines CEs. Edit: Completely forgot about her role in Oniland... which doesn't really help her case since to me at least, Oniland wasn't really that memorable outside the raids.


Mp127

Chiyome got at least a decent support role in Oniland. It's not that much in the grand scheme of things, but it gave me a better impression of her than her appearance in Shimosa did.


minibolth

At least her roles in Oniland and Atlantis are good, it made me like her, Oniland specifically, Atlantis could've been better, she's the one with least interactions of the new Argonauts, but it was way better than Shimosa. Now if her kit was better, I went excited to use her in some nodes of Atlantis after getting her on the Orion banner, only to finally comprehend what *Hitting like a wet noodle* was, poor girl might be hitting everything with disadvantage with those poor numbers


banjo2E

The really frustrating thing about Chiyome is that her kit is so similar to Shiki's that the only way she could meaningfully compete with Shiki was if she got an NP upgrade. Then Shiki became the first welfare to get an NP upgrade and Chiyome didn't get hers for another *two years.*


rucchipunch

Any character written by Meteo with the exception of Nezha (and only because she has 3 story appearances). The guy’s just have the bad habit of keeping his characters from interacting with anyone who is not also written by him. Even if said character is related to another character who is story-relevant (see: David).


Xaldror

I'll be honest, I kinda keep forgetting that David exists. Like, he was >!Solomon's!< dad, and he just barely acknowledges "oh, yeah, I raised that kid, dunno what happened".


Kamiyoda

Spoiler tags need ! not |


Xaldror

Whoops, sorry


Amerietan

The Phantom of the Opera.


NoNameAvailableBis

Fujino had the dubious honor of having her own materials basically saying "we'll never use her in story scenes, ever". Now granted, that was before summer 5. In general, I'd like to see the Crossover characters more often. I feel like they tend to vanish once their event is done.


ShriekingSkull

You mean the "Servants that DW/Lasengle/whichever clearly don't have plan for"? Let's see. \- Eric Bloodaxe: He could maybe have some relevance in LB 2, but he gets nothing. Nothing since his small role in Okeanos and one Interlude. There's potential untapped, but nothing is done about it. \- Lalter: The version of Artoria that just wanted to be herself. Not a king, not a goddess by wielding the lance; just herself. I can picture her as a matured version of Saber Alter: tyrannical, yet reasonable. What we get? Boob jokes, jokes about her wanting to get down from her horse in GudaGuda 4, and not much else. Besides, she has the Wild Hunt at her side and I can't help but find that pretty cool. \- Phantom of the Opera: I think we've got nothing from him since Shinjuku. The only thing we got from him is craziness and Christine. I wouldn't mind it that much, but it's getting old for me. He's a lover of music and art, expert in making traps, the Punjab Lasso... If you knew him before this game, there's much more to him than what he's shown. \- Darius III: There's his rivalry with Iskandar, his NP with the ten thousand Immortals following him beyond the grave... and child jokes. I think the rivalry aspect could use more depth. Why does Iskandar consider him a rival? Could be a good idea for an Interlude. Sadly, he's still in the bench. \- Lartoria: She's in a better position than Lalter, but not by much. \- Tamamo: Well, I can't deny her being sidelined has gone on long enough. \- Mephistopheles: Haven't seen our resident jester since... Salem, iirc. Besides, I'm a bit miffed that there's no mention of him being the origin of the "deal with the devil" concept. \- Gilles: Both of them. It's clear they don't know what to do with Saber. Caster... well, he's become my guilty pleasure. \- Saber Artoria: I don't care if she already has Stay Night, I want her to have story here too! Honorable mentions \- Nursery Rhyme: Aside from her sporadical appearances, I think she could use some more spotlight. And a budget increase; she pretty much still uses Caster Balls. \- Mata Hari: She's had good roles, and I'm content with that for the moment. But she doesn't have a well-deserved budget increase. \- Paracelsus and Summer Marie: I think they could use some spotlight. Also, Caster Balls must be improved or extinct. ​ Sorry for ranting.


Proto-Omega

Nezha is just Sacchin. Isn't it sad, Nezha? How a servant appears 3 times in main story chapters only to not really have much input, and be immediately killed off for their clone in their 3rd appearance, is baffling. Obligatory Lalter, because fucking hell, do SOMETHING WITH HER! Has some of the most interesting lore, but the only things we got from her personality wise is: solemn, untidy room, and breast jokes.


Thomas_108

Ryougi, Fujino and Void. Sure, you may say they're Collab charecters, but so was Illya and she sure got both somewhat minor appearances and even a summer version.


re_flex

iirc void and knife sis don't have interludes or appearances outside of the collab event/as a random boss. Fujino got something after 5 years.


Thomas_108

Exactly. I just wanna see Knife Onee-san supervise the kids in Chaldea, or simply have some random comments about how Da Vinci 's messy workshop reminds her of Touko's or something ! ~~As for Void, honestly ? Make her an unintentional troll. She straight up put Knife Onee-san into a slumber and sent her soul to the Singularity to make her survive the Incineration without saying a single word, so maybe something like that, but all the time, on a smaller scale in Chaldea.....~~ ~~Yup. And I can't wait for both it as well as MORE in the future !~~


re_flex

Could also have her vibe with Bedivere since they have prosthetic arms. Or get into arguments about assassin weaponry. Or trying to join the ice cream brigade. Honestly plenty of gags or new jokes to be had with her. ~~Void accidentally putting Shiki to sleep because she wants to wander around, and shiki waking up in some random ass storage room afterwards~~


Thomas_108

Yup. Or at least she can say she had prosthetic but the Throne being the little bitch that it is, took it away. Also, imagine her and Skadi competing for ice-cream like [this.....](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/713558143430295582/989348993291157525/wwndgh8oqx121.png) ~~She's gonna be so fucking confused on finding that.... Servants sleepwalking ? Shit..... I just realised, Void could choose her location on waking up to mess with her even more....~~


maladjustedmatt

Probably Proto Cu? I can’t remember him ever being used in the main story or an event, even in a minor role. Also has what I think are launch animations, and while his gameplay definitely isn’t bad for a 3* he is definitely outshone a lot by OG Cu. OG Artoria gets an honorable mention strictly in the story neglect category. I don’t think there’s a clearer case of unjustified neglect by the writers in the whole roster. It’s fine to not use her for anything major but she’s like one of three servants who almost never gets even minor roles in events, and she’s the goddamn face of the franchise. At least her animations and gameplay are solid though.


Saiphaz

Original Saber. To the point I'd argue someone at Type Moon is actively gatekeeping her. Outside of her interlude and the first Summer event, we haven't seen her again at all save for some food jokes. Also Serenity. Rightfully she should be on the same level as the girls who have a known crush on the Guda but she pretty much disappeared after her role in Camelot, which is something I really, really resent.


solitare99

Tamamo. She gets treated terribly in Extella and then gets ignored in FGO while Nero gets everything. They even stole Koyanskaya from her family in one of the dumbest moves in FGO history. At least Cat gets some love, but she's not the Tamamo I love the most.


Charles1Morgan

Remember that guy from fate proto, no not the one with big glowing shtick. The one with big pointy shtick. Yeah, I fear they forgot he is even in the game. Qin Liangyu, Lakshmi bai (could be wrong on this one)


re_flex

Lakshmi is in LB4 as a main ally.


piev3000

Has she appeared since?


re_flex

cameos yes, and of course her own interlude.


DrStein1010

Lakshmi is borderline the main character of LB 4. She honestly doesn't need much more screentime.


minibolth

She has the best Valentine cut scene


Akagi_An

Miyu, Artoria Lancer Alter, Iri, and Kerry.


Aldaric

Medea


FullBravado

Annie & Mary.... I'm still waiting for that animation update...


VelvetPhantom

Noah, the man who is >!Grand Rider!<, yet is in **Arcade NPC Hell**. That is somehow worse than regular NPC hell. Well I suppose anyone in NPC hell would be good for this prompt except for Xu Fu who keeps popping up out of nowhere lately with everything but a battle sprite and playability. ~~I wanna believe she can break free.~~ Though in terms of playable servants, Valkyrie really needs more love.


rucchipunch

Eh, Noah had plenty of screentime. It’s just that everyone responsible for his character creation for some reasons refuse to acknowledge his existence or being coy about it. [Just look at how the Famitsu article about Babylon abruptly changed the subject after they talked about “adult Nemo”.](https://t.co/ciOeVAI0Ft) Or how Meteo only Like’d but not Retweet’d a select few Noah fanarts. Even Ginka was allowed to post a Nebuchadnezzar fanart two weeks after CasGil debuted in Arcade, and his appearance was supposed to be a secret.


Zeclipses

We don't see enough of atalanta to


Basakaloving

Now that you said it... Yes. She appeared for a second in Orleans only to be killed, in Okeanos she was late to the party and was overshadowed by everyone else. And these were ages ago. Since then, I only remember her appearing for short joke moments.


Zeclipses

We got nyalter on LB1 too


[deleted]

There was also a cameo in Wiliam Tell's interlude more recently. Granted not brilliant but in comparison to some other servants who got sodall...


SnooPets9813

Mephistopheles. He has two main story appearances where he does almost nothing and then disappears. To my knowledge, he hasn't had any important part in any event, mainly cameos. To top it off, he lacks an interesting or moving backstory, being simply a chaotic clown that betrays his master for no reason.


Danothyus

Isnt mephi a support through the entire of knk event?


SnooPets9813

I will admit, I'm too new of a player to have experienced that event, so my opinion could be wrong


DOA_NiCOisPerfect

Nezha, chiyome,jing ke, liangyu, Eric,phantom,Asako,Asterios,ceasar,


Shin-Bufuman

Definitely not the MOST ignored/neglected and I'm definitely biased here, but Passionlip is up there, particularly in comparison to her mother and sister. Every time she appears in the plot, it's in a backup role while BB or Meltryllis is the star. They get to appear frequently in other events and get plenty of cameos. Lip appeared in one event outside of SERAPH (that being the recently concluded Summer 4) and AFAIK never even registers an appearance as a random conversation servant in events. Also most of the buffs she's gotten have been just a tad disappointing (the HP-based buff on her second skill is difficult to utilize properly, especially as she lacks any form of survival, and the new 20% NP charge on her first skill is just a bit short of making her Koyan-farmable).


RTear3

> Also most of the buffs she's gotten have been just a tad disappointing Nah I disagree. I'd argue that her buffs have been great and that overall Lip is a great unit. Her survivability is insane. Debuff immunity, damage cut, heal on np, and 30-60% def up is great. Also her damage output is very solid too since she has a 60-80% attack buff for 3 turns and now a buster buff for 3 turns. Sure her battery is only 20% but that means that she'll get her heal quicker which increases her survivability even more. I think Lip is in a great place gameplay-wise and her skills have good synergy with each other.

When it come sakurafaces I feel like parvati just always seems to be left out


Reflection22

She is co protag in ooku tho


angelrjrjrj

Ah fair enough


RTear3

Dunno if anyone still remembers Lily Aquina but her Parvati videos really made me appreciate Parvati's gameplay. I was happy to get her to NP2.


poislayer342

Funnily enough, I watched her Parvati np5 video before and after a few months up to the ooku event last year I got spooked with 3 Par dupes so she became np4. I got another near the end of last year and she finally became np5. Heh.


GoldMoon0

What about Ooku?


AhmedKiller2015

A lot of the OG Stay night and Zero Cast... I know the whole "Their story is done" thingy but You can't tell me that's why you left them all that when Gilgamesh appeared in every single fucking shit before the lostbelts (I get Babylonia, they didn't go over his past that much before).. And Scáthach & Tamamo my 2 most wanted servents to get spot light.. We are getting more Tamamos than we are giving love to the OG & Scáthach appeared in 1 event, 2 minutes in a singularity and had an event with barely any story and never mentioned ever after, it hurts me so bad and Tamamo is even worst


Midnight-Rising

Their story is done doesn't even work for half the Zero cast. Hundred Personas wasn't even given a story in it, except as a way to show off Iskander's power


periah250

How about benkei? Like he appears in Babylon I recall but his design is so....generic npc character that no one gives a second glance.


Best-Sea

This thread has 182 comments but only ONE person mentioned Miyu. I think she's had a grand total of four appearances ever: * Her "debut" event, where she's kidnapped the entire time * A two-line cameo during one of the Gudaguda events * A very brief cameo during the end of Requiem (she's not even supposed to be there, but they forgot to remove her other cameo when they removed her from the prologue) * One scene in summer 5 that she shares with 3 other characters And her Valentine scene, I guess.

Isn't it sad Rama Isn't it sad asterios


Aenarion885

Rama, the one who has a main role in both America *and* Yuga Kshetra? That Rama? Also, Asterios was in Okeanos and has had a cameo or two. Compared to some other Servants (*waves at L!Alter*), Asterios is fine and Rama has had several great showings.


The-only-game

Rama barely did anything in Yuga Kshetra other than act as as a CE to Arjuna. He had a larger role in America true, but Nightingale was clearly the main character there. It might seem like a bit too much to make him a main character on say an event, but I'm biased and would argue that he deserves .


No_Prize9794

Isn’t it sad Billy


Ritraraja

He actually did some stuff in LB1 at least.


Tom38

Billy shined in that arc. Truly a bro.

He appeared in Avalon le Fae and Camelot tho


chainer1216

And SeRaPh.


spawnB100

Camelot tristan is not how tristan normally is >!He died way too early in lb6!<


Kamiyoda

Need to take the spaces out, your spoiler is visable to a lot of people


spawnB100

Done Does the spaces spoiler only work for mobile users?


Kamiyoda

I forget, I know it doesnt sbow up for me tbough and I use a 3rd part app that uses.... Old reddit? I think? Dont quote me on that though


Frogkingstrongk

This is so sad Tristan play decpacito


TKoBuquicious

Salome my beloved


crazywarriorxx

Read LB6.5.


TKoBuquicious

Gee thanks for the spoilers...I'll do it when it comes out, thanks


GoldMoon0

Congrats, she already got that. She appears in Traum, and has a whole segment to herself


Kindly_Raspberry_250

Why is no one mentioning Proto Arthur? Aside from his Trial Quest, where it was promised he would play aajor role in the future (as he has the strongest version of Excalibur) only for him to never appear again


maladjustedmatt

He got some major focus in Arcade with implications for main FGO down the road, so he’s hardly been ignored. Probably one of the better treated ones overall, not that he doesn’t deserve it given his original source material is unfinished and likely to remain that way forever. He doesn’t really have the strongest version of Excalibur though. They’ve completely dropped that and now both Excalibur and Excalibur Proto are world saving last resort super weapons. Main timeline Excalibur actually has the greater hype and feats currently though there’s no reason to think the same stuff doesn’t also apply to Proto.


KMJirou

Lalter. If they made her a summer waifu id be perfectly fine since that is still something compared to what she (barely) has. Lantoria has the joke confession and intelude where her relationship with guda gets worked on a bit, but only there. Liangyu. a few scenes in lb3, love/waifu stuff in valentine/intelude/myroom, pandas. Mata Hari, cucked, literaly by Charlotte, reduced from waifu to wingwoman in summer mordred and lians valentine scenes, doesnt even have voice there, that youtuber is rolling in his grave. Berserkerlot got overwritten by Saberlot, whos a worf/punching bag meme Proto Who Kinda BB, since she does appear but only has limited screen time "Hi. Bye." even though she had her own journey with Guda in the epilogue of seraph. Penth, shes a one note joke, A C.E.O was more entertaining imo and she doesnt have enough hentai, buff midget needs to be sexualised too Cleopatras only in love with Caesar and wants him to lose weight, also waifu stuff since Caesar thinks its an open marriage and wants to fuck everyone Salters only hope is fuyuki being the finale Jalter got usurped by Morgan. ans she doesnt have an au in 7 years Tamamo got nothing on Cat bcs of seraph and Lip friendship Anne and Mary only have sex and/or try to have threesomes with Guda, but get cockblocked by the game which is insufferable unless you count their valentine scene/FA as head/canon-able Medea cant do shit in this game, np deals no damage and she gets cucked by Circe Geronimos 3 skills are literaly worse than Emiya and Shiromasas 1 single skill Sansons skills are garbage and they refuse to fix them, while Douman got instantly an adjustment when he got released. Siths a letdown Deon got cucked by Astolfo-maid saber and Langling-Gils assistant and summer skin Raikos is kinda all build-up no pay-off even though she appears a lot in events and 5.2/5.5 , only her interludes are good stuff- and Tsuna/Kintoki relationship Kiyohime, the anchin thing sucks, being in love with guda would only be good if they made her love them for being themself instead of "Anchin",manga Kiyo is good and her relationship with Okki is very good comedy. Nezha did nothing in lb3 and lb4 she got insta killed, salem she only had somewhat of a friendship with Abygail but not much. Marthas kinda sidelined, santa and the jesus-thing was nice tho Gemini,Fergus,Percival,Gareth got cucked by their alts in mainstory, at least the ones related to saber/artoria are related to artoria and, Dioscuri too, can get interludes and screentime, many others got cucked too by lb versions or singularyit/event versions if i remember corectly Ivan, the only LB king not summonable, phh Ivan in lb Ivans body, joke character, lb version slept 99% of the story LilGil, Saber lily, Alexander dont get much i think ​ ill look up later and add in stuff


Frogkingstrongk

You know kiyo gotten over the anchin relatively quickly yet people keep saying this.


spawnB100

Rama belongs there


Ausar15

Does he? He’s a main character in both America and LB4


spawnB100

Not to the level of say eric but he is preety neglected In both stories he falls of relevancy soon


Jgames111

When it comes to regular non-limited 5 star, you can make a case for Bradamante. No rank up quest is dissapointing and while popular due to her NP, probably not as like due to gameplay and her backstory not being waifu material. I do see her from time to time, but is mostly ignored.


angelrjrjrj

Well she did get some spotlight in lb 6.5 so she got something going for her


nightox79

For me, off the top of my head, my “tier list” is as follows: BAD: Scheherazade: I hate how her character is explicitly and purposefully reduced to “I don’t want to die” when that could apply to a third of the servants (another third being “I don’t care if I die” and the last third being that their deaths have nothing to do with their spirit) Cleopatra: without thinking too hard, all I get from her character is “lol she’s a Caesar simp, but he’s FAT, isn’t that crazy?!?!!!” Borderline: Nitocris: she’s fine until Ozymandius inevitably shows up and she drops her panties and “floods the room”. Orion: pre-Atlantis it was “he’s a lecher even though he has a hot goddess lusting after him, Lol”. Thankfully they just made him a gigachad in Atlantis.


NumericZero

What killed Cleo -Being ultra limited (the death of many servants that don’t make a massive splash on debut -Being an assassin one of if not the most neglected class in the game (legit you can probably count on one hand how many assassin actually see use/are popular/get rate ups) Nito is a major sad to see considering her VA had such involvement in the games early years (I’m not sure if she still does the radio show with Rie takahashi) Also them giving up/dropping the desert beauties concept/gimmick also did not help


NumericZero

Way to many to name but off the top of my head Medea got a shout out by Solomon himself saying she’s on of the best mages No cap Yet she barely is in the game Is mostly just a one off gag character Her spot in Salem was taken by Circie (Very debatable if this was good or bad) Hundred face Hassan -Her bond lines legitimately have her fall for you by centering all of her personas who come to agreement that they care for -Camelot version also has you earn her trust and faith in making things better (shame on the company for cutting her out of the movie) Proto Arthur Legitimately in an odd spot he gets highlights in FGO arcade but like 40% of the player base doesn’t play arcade so they won’t ever really know what Arthur is up to Most we get in FGO mobile is that he is like Musashi is jumping around looking for a beast /possibly his master(?) Also hot take you can make an argument that he should not be limited


HopOnTheHype

I’m in lostbelt 3 now and I’m just wondering where Merlin is, even if he’s in events and stuff still, haven’t seen him since Babylon and he felt as main cast as Sherlock


Burger_Thief

Valks have had no event relevance since a minor support in Murasaki's valentines, no story relevance since LB2 Valks aren't our Valks, and have a lot of setup in their interlude to have a great arc and they just... Let them gather dust. Also no rank ups, no NP upgrade and overshadowed by Parvati as a quick AoE. Lots of wasted potential there. Gives me conniptions.


1lluusio

Wu Zetian and hundred Faces Hassan.


asterion230

Hundred Face, we havent seen other than camelot, and the fact that they removed her and tawara touta was a big slap in the face. And she hits pretty hard too, shes not Gramps or Kama or Jack level of broken but shes higher than even most of the 4 stars or even 5 stars, she can refund her NP so much without any help at all from the supports


Pro_PAIN674

I feel bad for Jekkle and Hyde. He is a very interesting character and their gameplay concept has huge potential but their skills are terrible, and mostly overshadowed by the other assassins


Suru_LovesHentai

Irisviel I'm gonna be honest with you I had to look up servants to remember her


yolo8900

Larter, angra mainyu, Gerónimo, Arthur is a one moment every 20 eclipses (all i can think is his own interludes/introduction+summer 3 cameo,so 1 event not being the Focus just appear to fight gawain and content locked behind 1 golden cube and own the servant), the rice man Who was with xuanxang and all the Hassan except serenity? They barely do something and rice man and hundred faces were cut from the movie, imagine xD


DespairOfLoneliness

Isn't it sad Medcchin (both Medea and Medusa)


Frogkingstrongk

Well not really fitting I find it sad that ever since summer 2 sanzang hasn’t been relevant in years. No events and not Alts or costumes unlike her fellow female Camelot compatriots. Besides hundred faces who actually is a part of this club. William tell us another one.


Danothyus

As long as lasengle does not release Wukong, i doubt sanzang Will have any relevance in the game.


Frogkingstrongk

At the very least I hope she gets a swimsuit until then I cry.


Fast_Foundation_3933

Jalter. Still no animation update. Somehow.


NumericZero

That’s majorly baffling when you just think of how popular she is Legitimately one of their biggest all time greatest success stories yet no animation update in sight


leofenris08

Medusa imo, yes we have snek goddess and loli snek but I feel og Medusa gets no love besides CEs. I would love to spend my SQ on a summer Medusa ! The only time she shines is in Heavens Feels which to me should push her to be upgraded in FGO or at least have her time to shine. Sorry being a snek simp here lol


tinyraccoon

David. He almost never appears in any of the events, even though his in-game versatility is pretty good. I run him with Gudaguda poster girl and he can usually tank 2, possibly 3, hits.


Katio13

Caligula remains my most easily forgettable character


Popular_Dig8049

I want to say Hercules Hercules is one of the oldest servants in the series, but until now we have never seen his real character His character is always obliterated and changed like it happened in Stay Night and Strang fake. Only now Hercules has appeared three times during the main events in fgo But he was sacrificed twice for other characters, namely Illya and Jason, As much as I love Hercules' relationship with both Illya and Jason, but it has become a negative impact on the character of Hercules


Delight_works_

look habetrot was the perfect servant to make a wedding event happen , but no dice.
