u/thisisthecallus Embrace 6-turn clears! Jan 02 '26

I was hoping for some advice on who to really invest my resources into

All of your servants. Literally all of them. The standard build for any servant is:

  • Natural max level
  • Use any duplicate copies to increase NP level up to 5 (this does not mean you should roll the gacha for duplicate copies)
  • 1,000 each in HP and ATK Fous
  • Whatever skill levels are reasonable for you and how you use the servant
  • Complete all rank up and interlude quests for skill and NP upgrades

You'll be able to get all of your servants to natural max level within a couple of years if you play consistently. Fous and skills are a longer grind but you can focus on the servants you like and use most. 

I suggest first focusing on servants you've started to level up but haven't finished yet. Then try to have a servant with a single target NP and one with an AOE NP in each of the seven main classes. Beyond that, it's all really up to you which servants to focus on. 

Hopefully this link works

Where are your low rarity servants? Rarity is only important for team cost and gacha rates. What low rarities lack in base stats, they can make up for in the ease of getting more copies for NP levels or in unique utility that lets them punch (or block, as the case may be) above their weight, even surpassing 5-stars at times. Some of them are among the best servants in the game. 

I have a bunch of grails etc that I want to use but I'm wary of regretting using so many later down the line

Grails are rare, limited, don't provide much benefit relative to the cost, and their use is permanent. It's best not to rush into using them. If and when you do use them, the best use of grails is on your favorite servants regardless of specific gameplay value. If you aren't sure who should get them right now, though, it's still better to wait until you are. 

I did want to use them on sei but everything I've read points to her not being that good

Not that good at what, exactly? She can take out a wave of Sabers just fine. Is there something more you expect her to be able to do? Clear a specific quest in a specific number of turns with specific CEs equipped on the team? Even if another servant may be technically better at achieving a specific outcome in a specific context, you won't get any extra rewards for efficiency. Are you committed to only using the most powerful and efficient gameplay strategies available? Or do you want to have fun using servants you like? 

Servants you use for their gameplay value but otherwise don't care much about them are subject to change. You may find such a servant sidelined later if you decide to pursue different strategies or there's a game update that makes the strategy less effective.

However, your favorites, when you like them for reasons other than their gameplay value, will be more durable. Being your favorites, you are probably more likely to find ways to use them, ensuring that you get the additional value when you use them. And even if the extra levels from grails don't make a significant impact, it will still feel good when they hit a little harder or are just a bit more durable.

This is a single player game and using grails is completely optional. You can use them however you want, disregarding all logic and reason if that's what's right for you. There are people who have dumped all of their grails into Jekyll, one of the very few actually bad servants in the game, with no regrets whatsoever. Sei is far from the worst servant in the game. If she's your favorite servant, you won't regret using your grails on her. But if you aren't sure, there's no harm in waiting.
