Hi there!
While I was playing with summon simulator I got bunch of copies of Fionn, Astolfo, Beowulf and Marie Antoinette. And I tought "God... they're so useless and I don't want more servants of their classes".
I already got 4 riders, 5 sabers, 4 lancers, 6 casters, 4 berserkers... so as long as it isn't a god-tier servant (like Herc or Titsturia alter), getting another servant of this class makes no sense in my gameplay. Just another garbage to enchance.
But at the same time I'm still F2P so in theory I should appreciate any SR servant, even if it's a heckin' Astolfo or Fionn.
What would you do if you were in my shoes?
Here's a list of my current servants: https://grandorder.gamepress.gg/user/19566
(Nito NP4, Atalanta and Marie NP2)
Personally I'd still keep at least 1 copy of each SR servant I get, if only because you never know whether they'd give bonus drops for event currency like with this Christmas event. Otherwise, if you have no interest in them at all, no reason to keep them around.
Personally, I don't care how useful a servant is from a gameplay perspective. If I don't like them I probably won't use them. If for example I didn't like Merlin then I wouldn't save for him, but I do.
But if you really care more about the "game" part of the... well, game, then make sure you have at least two good servants per class before you start burning the useless ones. And since it seems like you already have some pretty good servants I say, do as you wish.
Do you have a use for Rare Prism? I don't, so burning a gold servant isn't my thing, even more considering that i'm F2P and i don't see Gold stuff too often...Not Fionn or Stheno yet though.
I like Trap God Astolfo...but i can't defend him, he's really weak. He's one of my favorite Riders, hard content slayer (which speaks a lot about the overall difficulty of this game), and a strong grail candidate for the Rider Class despite his "avoid using" status.
Two years from now, we'll start getting rare prisms from duplicate welfare servants.
So, the question is: Is there something that you really want to buy with rare prisms *right now*, that's worth passing up SQ from interludes/strengthening/bond (and the possibility that this particular servant will get bonuses in some future event).
If your Marie is already NP2 AND you dont use or like her much, consider burning the new copies IF there is something in the rare prism shop you wanna, NP1 to 2 is already the biggest bonus you will get in rasing NP levels.
If in your 4 Berserkers there is a quality ST NP Zerc, you can burn Beowulf.
Or don't, Beowulf and Astolfo can give you bonuses in event in the future...
Fionn is actually usable once he gets Clairvoyance Beauty, as a kind of Arts-Crit support. Pair him with Nursery and Tamamo, enjoy the stars generated by the Arts cards with multiple hits the other 2 have. Caster Gilgamesh still does this way better...
