Due to popular demand, here's some "brief" write-ups of each tier...
**S** Don't get touchy about the placement within this tier. They mostly have different roles, so it's not easy to directly compare their value. Of note, Heracles is in this tier because of his survivability combined with his power and low cost. He compares well against Vlad in a buster group, and he compares well against Kintoki in defense. Neither of them outclass him enough to knock him out of S.
**High** Alter is the best economy nuke in the game. I previously argued for her being S-tier, and I'm not entirely convinced she isn't. Jeanne almost got her own tier, but instead she gets an asterisk that moves her up to S if playing content that requires her NP. Even if not playing such difficult content, Jeanne's always a safe bet, and her star skill is exceptional on most teams. El-Melloi was previously ranked below Elizabeth, but clearly he's the better team player due to buffs and card loadout. I still regard Tamamo and Lancelot on equal footing, Lancelot for his offense and Tamamo for her better skillset. Nero sneaks in just barely due to her synergy with arts teams and decent NP, but I still wish she had better skills.
**Mid-High** Medea has moved up, as she is undeniably the best arts chainer in the game, and she doesn't even need a CE to do it. Having one extra arts card on demand can make or break your team's ability to fill NP gauges, and it deals enough damage to make Heracles wince. Having the unique ability to dispel enemy buffs is a plus as well. LuBu and Darius have joined Kiyohime in Mid-High. Kiyohime more or less outclasses Darius in most regards. Even her attack power can reach comparable levels due to Mad Enhance EX and her debuff, and she has an easier time maxing her NP gauge, even with Darius's Golden Rule maxed out. LuBu beats her in single target damage potential, but not enough to make up for lack of AoE.
**Mid** D'Eon has moved down because her skillset isn't entirely appreciated, but she can move up in a team that takes advantage of her ability to tank. That ability still doesn't excuse her NP not doing any damage though. The dogs take 2nd due to protection from arrows.. and, honestly, most servants in this tier are about equal in utility. Robin Hood gets special mention due to his NP. Hans creeps up due to his above average HP, his card loadout, and his support potential (even if it is luck based). Hans and Mephistopheles both have innocent monster, so they can pretend to be Jeanne in a support role.
**Mid-Low** Lily remains queen of this class mostly due to her high cost, as well as her inability to level her NP. Even if her stats are decent compared to 3* servants, her NP will pale in comparison to a Lv5 Medusa or Alexander. If she had the cost of a 3*, she would be an excellent addition to mid-high or mid. Hassan has the second best star generation in the game (outside of NPs), but that title doesn't mean much when the star mechanic is just so unreliable. Jing-Ke falls short because her animation is not suited to her role as an assassin (though not quite so much as Stheno...), as it caps her out at 2 stars per quick card. She also lacks any dodge skill, her NP has lower instant kill chance than Hassan, and her star gain skill unfortunately also gives her star focus, which is not what you want as a star generator support. Oh yeah, Stheno's here.
**Boudicca** Just let me know if someone doesn't deserve to be here.
[Bring it!](#grin)
