This is a video dedicated to the greatest (terrible) servant in the history of Fate: Grand Order. Statistics per Gamepress.gg Sound Effects from freesound.org (CC0)
Ah, sounds very true-to-character. Though I suppose at least he was useful given he essentially became a vehicle, which is better than what he normally does.
fun fact: his charm works on anyone now in JP, which also removing their buffs (thank you 5th anni buff) so he's not totally useless now... just gotta 2 years for it to come to NA now XD
It just goes to show, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel for any Servant! No matter how useless, there's always a way to fix them in the end... ... ...looking at you, Benkei.
Naysayers: “Wait Sunedunes, if you sink to that level of sarcasm the pressure will kill you! The vessel isn’t strong enough!“ Sunedunes: *CRANKS THE LEVER.*
It’s okay! At the end of the day, the important thing is to grail your favourite servants, no matter how effective or not they are in game. At least, that’s what my grailed Boudica is telling me...
He is nowhere as bad as geronimo. Phantom can at least provide stars and sometimes his charm hits... while geronimo doesnt contribute at all to the team
Hmmm...I actually quite like Geronimo's NP (which admittedly he can never access) and trying to find someway to make his skills works. Phantom's JP buff certainly makes it a more competitive atmosphere between the two. I can only hope they buff Geronimo one day
@@SuneDunes yes his quick buff is a joke and with his low hit counts his arts buff isnt so good either but at least it buffs his np... but then again its on 7-5 turn cooldown and lasts one turn. And as i said geronimo doesnt contribute much to the team the only thinh he has is a weak heal on his np that theres no way he'll spam. His kit is of a selfish damage dealer but he cant deal damage/loop/generate stars
How come he never dies even though I actively want him dead? I got Ceasar's third skill and Lu Bu’s third skill fully decked on his ass yet he somehow dodges every crit known to man and lives to turn 9.
Now, he is indeed a worthy competitor. I actually make something of a case for that here: th-cam.com/video/heO1NDZMHro/w-d-xo.html But it is indeed difficult. Both of them are worthy, though I would say Gilles at least has the Buster buff to make his damage output...interesting, especially if it’s maxed
It was an admittedly difficult decision. Both Servants work exceptionally hard to be deserving of the title - but Benkei's 1-turn Taunt meant the Phantom just about won out in the end, though both would be well-deserving winners. I actually talk more about Benkei's particular...uniqueness....here: th-cam.com/video/L0lKc55d5bc/w-d-xo.html
It’s certainly a close one (with Benkei too). Terror is at least situationally useful, though the same could be said for Phantom’s NP (as tyaty points out)
@@SuneDunes the thing is Phantom is an easy NP5 at least, bringing his NP to at least usable levels as Ventosx shows. Caster Gilles is story locked, so a lot of players don't even have him NP2. I don't think theres really any question.
@@KatarHero72 All of the three are trash as damage dealers. Thy has some saving graces though: Benkei is a sacrificial staller. You pop his skills to potentially gain a free turn and on-death CE activation, again enemies who can one-shot him he is potentially useful. Leonidas ad St George are still better though. Phantom is useful for setting up setups that rely on debuffs. 6 turn -50% debuffs resist is no a joke.
I once had a dream I was in a grail war and Phantom was my servant. He carried me everywhere, but didn’t do much

@@SuneDunes Now if only he got an animation update like the Arcade one
@@raccoonnerd405 Salutations! Now your dream has come true!
Angra Mainyu is offended by this.
He shouldn’t feel too bad about it - the Phantom is truly trail-blazing in this area!
@@SuneDunes angra made that one quest with the 99% def siegfrief easier tho. Saw that strat and i was in awe of the big brain.
Naysayers: “Wait Sunedunes, if you sink to that level of sarcasm the pressure will kill you! The vessel isn’t strong enough!“
Sunedunes: *CRANKS THE LEVER.*
Haha! :D Hope you enjoyed the video - Happy New Year!
@@SuneDunes
Do more of these videos and less of the soloing stuff. The FGO community needs more funny analysis.
The narration sounds like a slightly posh grandma telling you about her youthful escapades
G-grandma?!
Haha, thanks for watching!
Unfortunaly my favorite character
F
Btw great vídeo dude
Haha, thanks! And I can understand mate - I grailed Boudica...
Gods, so true. I grailed him cuz i was a newbie, i miss the grials.

At least, that’s what my grailed Boudica is telling me...
@@SuneDunes Haha, we need a grailed Gilles to make the best worst servant party.
With a Lvl. 100 Benkei as the obligatory Taunt
OH MY 😂😭

@@clytievangogh6445 Doesn't Kitasean have one
I love all of this. Thank you sir. I had a hearty chuckle.
I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Somewhere Geronimo has a faint smile of happiness

Fkin love the history channel vibe this has, 10/10 would warch again👌
Haha thank you very much!
I have him at level 91, and do plan to get him to level 100 for the lulz.
Now that is something I can fully endorse
How come he never dies even though I actively want him dead? I got Ceasar's third skill and Lu Bu’s third skill fully decked on his ass yet he somehow dodges every crit known to man and lives to turn 9.
How ironic. I just watched this, went to my FGO and rolled friend points and got...him. 🤦
Thanks god i used my grails in Jing Ke instead
An excellent decision!
The only reason I level him up is Free Saint Quartz.
And that is indeed the only reason
I only keep him because I like Phantom of the Opera
Haha! Given his notoriety, he does deserve much better than this
I forgot he existed tbh ☕️
A happy state of existence for sure
To me Assassin of Shinjuku Yan Qing, he's just so useless.
Awww don't be so harsh on Sassyshin!
...he's the only 4-star who seems to want to repeatedly visit my Chaldea
Angra is way more useful than this and that's saying something
Yes I slapped 10 grail on Angra, I just like red
geronimo is worse
Most useless servant is gilles de rais (saber) change my mind
Now, he is indeed a worthy competitor. I actually make something of a case for that here: th-cam.com/video/heO1NDZMHro/w-d-xo.html
But it is indeed difficult. Both of them are worthy, though I would say Gilles at least has the Buster buff to make his damage output...interesting, especially if it’s maxed
Lololol
That is a good summary of the Phantom tbh
🤣🤣🤣
What about Benkei?

Gilles Caster is worse.
Yep, Phantom's NP is at least situationally useful.
