Fate/Grand Order 9th Anniversary: GSSR and Destiny Order Guide

To maximize your paid Saint Quartz during the Fate/Grand Order 9th Anniversary, roll your standard 15-quartz Guaranteed SSR (GSSR) banner before summoning on the 30-quartz Destiny Order banner. Pulling the predetermined GSSR pool first allows you to see your result before locking in your nine custom Destiny Order slots. This sequence eliminates the risk of pulling an unintended duplicate on a Servant you manually selected.

Both campaigns require paid Saint Quartz exclusively; free Saint Quartz cannot be used. Completing both summons requires a total of 45 paid Saint Quartz.

Destiny Order Summon Mechanics and Costs

The Destiny Order summon is an eleven-pull banner costing 30 paid Saint Quartz that guarantees at least one limited 5-star (SSR) Servant from a pool you configure.

You must assign exactly one limited SSR to each of nine designated class slots:

• Saber
• Archer
• Lancer
• Rider
• Caster
• Assassin
• Berserker
• Extra Class 1
• Extra Class 2

Because you must fill all nine slots before rolling, you cannot double up on a single class to boost the odds of a specific Servant. With nine distinct options selected, your baseline chance of receiving any specific chosen Servant is approximately 11.1%. General pool Servants and unselected limited Servants cannot spook this summon.

Selecting Servants for Your 9 Destiny Order Slots

Set your nine slots so that every possible outcome improves your account. Do not leave a filler Servant in any slot if you would be dissatisfied pulling them.

• Target core supports first: Use the Caster and Extra slots to secure premier system enablers you do not own, such as Altria Caster, Koyanskaya of Light, or Skadi. If you already own the primary enablers, target specialized supports like Merlin, Lady Avalon, or Ruler Skadi.
• Pick neutral wave clearers: For Berserker and Extra slots, choose universal damage dealers and loopers such as Summer Ibuki-Douji, Morgan, Arjuna Alter, or Space Ishtar.
• Cover class deficiencies: Fill remaining slots with modern limited damage dealers that function effectively at Noble Phantasm level 1 (NP1), rather than older units that require high NP levels to clear thresholds.

Evaluating GSSR Categories

The standard anniversary Lucky Bag (GSSR) costs 15 paid Saint Quartz and features predetermined banner groupings based on release year, Noble Phantasm targeting type (single-target or area-of-effect), or class alignments.

Before selecting a GSSR banner, evaluate each pool by categorizing its contents:

Calculate your odds by adding your Jackpot and Acceptable targets together and dividing by the total number of Servants in that banner. Choose the banner with the highest combined win rate. Avoid choosing a banner with a large pool of undesirable outcomes solely to chase a single target.

Choosing Between New Servants and NP Upgrades

When deciding between unlocking a new Servant or obtaining an additional copy, base your decision on whether the unit provides utility or raw damage:

• Support Servants: Core supports deliver their primary value through skills and team buffs at NP1. Additional Noble Phantasm levels for units like Oberon or Koyanskaya of Light provide minimal performance increases.
• Damage Dealers: Offensive loopers and multi-core attackers scale significantly with their first duplicate. Moving a primary farmer from NP1 to NP2 increases their base Noble Phantasm damage multiplier by approximately 33%.

If your account already possesses complete support infrastructure, targeting an NP2 upgrade for an essential farmer like Melusine or Summer Ibuki-Douji often provides more practical farming value than acquiring a niche attacker who remains unlevelled.

Optimal Summon Execution Order

If your main target appears on an attractive GSSR banner, follow this sequence:

1. Purchase Saint Quartz pack combinations that yield at least 45 paid Saint Quartz.
2. Summon on your chosen 15 paid Saint Quartz GSSR banner.
3. Check your GSSR result. If you successfully pulled a Servant you originally planned to select for Destiny Order, replace that Servant's slot with an alternative priority or a valuable NP2 candidate.
4. Finalize your nine slots and summon on the 30 paid Saint Quartz Destiny Order banner.
