Who is your favorite servant in the entire Fate/ franchise.

Honorable mentions: Astolfo, Proto Gilgamesh, Caster Gilgamesh, Semiramis, Medea
These two caster are just cute elfs who loves their master with whole their tragic heart

For me that would be either Karna or Ishtar.
I like Karna because he is such a badass mf who wield a lance with high divinity levels


I absolutely love Ishtar as she is just a Rin incarnate but now a goddess. She also is very powerful and reminds me of Aqua (Konosuba).


Most popular picks
1 Iskandar
2 Gilgamesh (y'all need to look at proto gil)
3 OG saber

Mod Edit: Modified title for clarity and/or easier searching.

Personally, Iskandar is one of my favorite characters of all time. I just thought his character was so well done, loved his humor, loved his passion, and pretty much everything he did lmao

Caster Limbo from FGO, because he's hot and an irredeemably evil bastard. Now if only they'd actually make him playable...

Usually the Riders are the coolest. I like Alexander The Great and Medusa.


To OP - Ishtar is pseudo-servant. she doesn't count...not to mention that she is practically Rin.

GILGAMESH!!
There's nothing about this guy I don't love. He's charismatic, entertaining, has very strong beliefs and his personality is just amazing.
He's also really op and pretty much unbeatable
shiro only beat him through asspulls and "plot armour"

Semiramis

I think she is the best servant. Losing someone she loved that was enough to give me a reason to like him.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.

If I have to pick a top 5 (from the entries of Fate that have got anime), then:

1. Archer (Fate/stay night)
Great design, background, fighting style and GAR as heck. Loved him since the first time I saw him.

2. Lancer (Fate/stay night)
A true bro, great warrior and source of some dank memes. What's not to love?

3. Merlin (Fate/Grand Order Babylonia)
Love his troll and pseudo-condescending personality, and how nearly everyone hates him. Though the main cast of Fate/Grand Order wasn't very charismatic, he sure compensated it.

4. Semiramis (Fate/Apocrypha)
Big tiddy waifu with elf ears and surprisingly loyal to her master, cannot ask for someone better. Cool Noble Phantasm too.

5. Karna (Fate/Apocrypha)

Cool design, honorable personality and powerful as fuck. Basically a less arrogant version of Gilgamesh. Maybe not the most charismatic character, but he compensates it with the aforementioned traits.

Honorable mentions:
-Fake Assassin (Fate/stay night)
-Avicebron (Fate/Apocrypha)
-King Hassan (Fate/Grand Order Babylonia)

Favorite servant you guess? Well........... in my opinion, Archer EMIYA is my favorite, because he teaches what is reality to Shirou Emiya and also he is one of the only three original servant made in Nasuverse besides Chloe von Einzbern and Mash Kyrielight.

Can you guys, PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAASE, stop calling F/SN Lancer bro, when he is basically Fate version of those male friends of harem MCs, punching bags, and simply pathetic, not to mention they never have any luck with women.

Lancer is a walking selfcockblock.

...

Anyway, F/Z Rider best male, and for females any that has nice hentai fanart, or huge breasts, thick thighs, and a huge ass.

Honestly I don't remember UBW much to tell which one was my favourite, perhaps because it wasn't that memorable to me (plus I need to rewatch). As for Fate/Zero, I rewatched and I guess I would go with Gilgamesh. Tho Rider from Fate/Zero is also pretty cool. But I have to admit Fate series gotta be the most confusing franchise I've ever seen, there are tons of shows to watch and I really don't know which one I should watch or how the fuck they are even related. This Ishtar looks cool and I'm quite enthusiastic about mythology, but I don't remember her on the show at all lol.

Hmmm just realized now, searching for it, that there's one full series named Fate/Apocrypha and other named Fate/EXTRA Last Encore on Netflix. Also, other three series on Crunchyroll: Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA ILLYA, Fate/Grand Order ‐First Order‐, Fate/Grand Order Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia. And I'm completely clueless about this, that's why I said earlier this gotta be the most confusing franchise I've ever seen. How are these shows related to the Fate series and how are you suppose to watch 'em? Plus, why? haha

it isn't that confusing. just watch everything, and once you get what it is, you re-watch everything.

Apohcrya is just a battle royal between two sides
Extra Encore is an adaption of the game Extra and features UmU Saber, also seen in the second singularity of Fate/Grand Order
Fate/Grand Order just executes waaaay later than the Fuyuki holy grail war and is basically time travel servant summoning
Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya is a alternate version of the Fuyuki holy grail war and with less violence and more loli, also featuring luvia, which makes an appearance in fate/stay nighte unlimited blade works

So in clonclusion, there is a lot of waifu material and a lot of franchise to consume. just watch it all

Fate/Apocrypha, Fate/EXTRA Last Encore, Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA ILLYA and Fate/Grand Order are alternative universes/sort of spin offs of F/Z + F/SN.

Since you have watched F/Z + F/SN you will understand what is going on in them.
No particular order is required only Fate/Grand Order ‐First Order‐ must be watched before Fate/Grand Order Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia.

You can pretty much skip Fate/EXTRA Last Encore.

Also Lord El-Melloi II Sei no Jikenbo is somewhere in the F/Z + F/SN timelines.

Ishtar/Ereshkigal because they are Rin, and Rin is best girl. If we go by class then:

Saber: Okita
Archer: Emiya
Lancer: Cu Chulainn (the best servant of the original 7-8)
Caster: Merlin
Rider: OzymanDio
Berserker: Raikou
Assassin: Kojiro (I would say Shiki but she is a guest)

Special classes in F/GO:
Avenger: Either Space Ishtar or Jalter
Ruler: Sherlock
Foreigner: Hokusai
Alter Ego: Kiara

I don't often agree with the popular opinion, but it seems I do in this case. Rider (Alexander the Great) and Gilgamesh are easily the best two servants in the Fate series.

I should also mention that the Servants from Apocrypha are all portrayed extremely well, and the characters in general are some of the most fleshed out in the series. My personal favorites from Apocrypha are Ruler (Jeanne D'Arc), Caster of Red (William Shakespeare), Assassin of Black (Jack the Ripper), Archer of Black (Chiron), and Berserker of Black (Frankenstein's Monster).
If you disagree with any thoughts or opinions expressed in the above post, you're wrong and I hate you forever!

My favorite servant, definitely, without a doubt, is Ereshkigal! To be honest, while I most certainly like Rin, I like Ereshkigal far more than any other form of her. I feel like Eresh basically took Rin's dere side and left everything else behind. In any case, despite the fact that it took me 2,250 SQ to get a single copy of her, Eresh is definitely my favorite, and one of my favorite characters in anime overall.

Following Eresh, my second favorite is Gilgamesh. Honestly, I find that Gilgamesh is always cool in every adaptation he makes it in. He was cool in Fate/Zerp. He was cool in UBW. He was cool in FGO. He was even cool in Prisma Illya, where basically no other servant was. Honestly, Gilgamesh just has a habit of bending the rules to suit him wherever he goes, always managing to force the spotlight onto him and infecting those around him with his boundless charisma. He's always super fun to watch.

After Eresh and Gilgamesh, it honestly fluctuates a bit, but some of my other favorites include:

- Best Kouhai Mash Kyrielight
I mean, how could you not like her? Especially if you've played FGO and watched how she has developed as a character.

- King Hassan
This guy is like death incarnate, he sounds like nothing on the planet could faze him, and he just looks cool.
I feel like I'm looking at the Fate version of Ainz Ooal Gown when I see him. And the description of Azrael sounds so awesome it is impossible for me not to like the guy.

- Artoria Pendragon
I love her, both when she is a valiant knight in battle like in Fate/Zero, or when she is a cute and always hungry slice of life character like in Emiya-Gohan lol. Her attacks are nice and flashy and she's basically the face of the series. I know some people think she is bland, but I can't help but admire the things she does.

- Sei Shonagon
To be honest, this one is heavily influenced by the fact that I've read much of Sei Shonagon's pillow book and absolutely loved it, it is one of my favorite traditional Japanese works. But furthermore, the fact that they totally rolled with the Pillow Book's sort of "proto-blogger" style and basically made Sei into a VTuber is amazing. I absolutely love everything they did with her.

Honestly, the list could go on for ages. Jeanne D'arc, Nero Claudius, Cleopatra, Arjuna Alter, Merlin, Tamamo no Mae, MHX and MHXA, and more... There are really so many fantastic servants.
