4 star Altria alter alter vs 5 Altria

She have one of the highest NP percentage from 450% to 650% and she can in fact replace almost any AOE 5 star Saber servant for farming and she have a high attack which makes her having a higher attack than the 5 star Altria if grailed. However, her kit is pretty bad and gets no SQ until now in JP(intuition). She is kinda strong and can replace 5 star Altria now in NA, especially if you got it high NP level which is really hard. However, after one and a half year, 5 Star Altria will receive a buff which makes her instantly fly to the peak of all AOE 5 star servant and instant outshine every single other AOE 5 star servants such as Moders, Atera, Shiki etc. You might have to consider that again.

At 90 Baber alter is better over all cuz of the extra damage her np does since they share skill sets. As a 5*, the og baber has slightly higher stats, kinda. Baber has higher hp, but baber alter has nearly the same attacc, but at max grail, baber alter's attacc is higher.

In 2020, og baber gets a np charge, so eventually she'll have a slight advantage over baber alter, but currently baber alter is the better of the 2 when at the same level.

Saber Alter's NP has a modifier 50% greater than her 5 star counterpart at base, and only 1000 attack less at max ascension. Their skill set is the same, though at max, Alter has 6% less attack buff on Charisma, and one less critical star gained. And while Alter doesn't have the Riding class skill (ironic considering the story), their miscellaneous aspects, like magic resistance, critical and np generation, star weight, and even hit counts, are either identical, or near enough to have the same value. Both of them have durability issues, particularly where Alter is involved, so this would be a important part for consideration. If these points haven't helped you decide, I'd say just look at the materials necessary for each. While there is some overlap, they use different materials, and see if you can make significant progress in their skills for either servant, because skill levels will make the largest difference in their performance. Finally, remember that as a 4 star, you have a far greater chance of getting duplicate Alters.

All thing being equal, and at maxed levels without grails, the original 5* version is straight up better. She costs more to field, but that's the extent of it basically.

Her skill values are higher and her stats are higher - which means her AoE NPs do hit harder with skills active. It's basically as simple as that.

However, in terms of pragmatism, it might be easier to raise the 4* first due to her lower costs.

Overall the 5 star version is stronger, no question.

However the advantages that she has over Alter are fairly minor ( more HP and slightly damage), so while the 5 star is stronger, the advantages are small and Alter costing 3 less points for party cost is significant enough that some people consider Alter to be the better servant.

However we do know that 5 star Artoria will be getting a skill upgrade quest in the future, while Alter has no upgrades at all, so that definitely changes things.

If you have both, there is no reason to use 4* Altria over 5* Altria except cost effectiveness.

She's better than her 5* version. Cost effectiveness ( team cost, material and QP cost ) plus doing the same job and higher NP damage and identical performance, that's the reason. You can also get Salter with a 4 star ticket later or even get her through tutorial roll but you can't never get the 5* one easily.

If both have receive their strengthenings quest, then Salter always better than the OG version. However, for now Altera and Mordred still stand at the top.

Her NP has a bigger multiplier of dmg, the NP recharge from OC effect is smaller.

Her Charisma is much weaker and Instinct is a little weaker.

She has less HP, but if you grail her 2X, her attack will be above 5* Altria. So, her regular attacks are going to be above Altria, on top of a stronger NP.

Sadly, she's story locked, so, NP5-ing her can be hard.

If you just want a buster AOE NP to dust lancer mobs in farming, she's better, much better. If you NP5 her, you can even use her as pseudo-ST Saber.

Altria in 2 years is going to get a 20-30% NP charge in her instinct, combined with her superior recharge from NP-ing, she become a superior NP spammer. And she has more HP.
