Fate/Grand Order is a brand new gacha RPG on mobile that draws inspiration from the Fate/Stay Night Japanese visual novel. You collect characters – known as Heroic Spirits – and create a party out of them, sending them out to do battle against those that want to wipe out humanity. There’s a plot to uncover, which is told by some pleasingly old-school JRPG-style cutscenes. If you love JRPGs and gacha games, you really should check it out.
You can learn more about the game on the official site, or download it via the links at the top of this page. We’ve got plenty more tier lists where this comes from too. Make sure to check out our Alice Fiction tier list, Argent Twilight tier list, and Bloodline: Heroes of Lithas tier list.

Why Did We Only Select SSR Characters?
This Fate/Grand Order tier list is designed for players at endgame, who will likely only use SSR characters. To keep the tier list simple, we’ve only included them so you can choose the best team.
However, we may add lower-ranked characters moving forward, to help those in early and mid-game pick a competitive team.
