Overview

“Seventh Seat of the Round Table, Gareth, marching forth!”

Sir Gareth, one of the Knights of the Round Table, and nephew (or niece, in this case) of Altria, is one of the bronze Servants introduced during the fourth Anniversary. She is a single target Buster Lancer with a somewhat defense-oriented skill set.

Gareth has the ability to draw enemy focus for a turn with Ring of Transformation, while also increasing her own defense and NP gain. She additionally has a Guts skill with Battle Continuation, giving her the ability to survive a bit longer as she draws enemy fire. She can take advantage of the enemy's attention with her second skill, Gareth of the Beautiful Hands, which grants her a 1-time, 5-turn attack bonus every time she is attacked for the next three turns, which can stack repeatedly so long as she does not use a card or NP during that time. In addition, she comes with a self NP charge, which along with the decent hit counts on her Arts and Quick Cards, plus her NP gain buff, gives her quicker access to her NP. Her Buster NP, Ira Lupus, applies the ever-handy Ignore Invincible effect before dealing damage to a single enemy, ensuring damage in the face of both Evade and Invincibility buffs. The NP also will inflict a defense debuff that scales with overcharge. When she receives her upgrade, her Guts skill will additionally grant a smattering of Stars and give her increased Critical Strength, further improving her damage output.

Her greatest weakness, perhaps, is that her low rarity brings with it lower base stats. She ranks among the highest Max HP of her rarity, although in exchange, her ATK is among the lowest. Also, despite having high Max HP for a two-star Servant, among the entire roster, her HP is still rather meager. Her damage is most effective after taking multiple hits from enemies, and this can be difficult to set up with her lower HP pool.

Overall, Gareth is still a very decent budget ST Buster Lancer option, especially given the fact that ST Buster Lancers are few and far between, particularly among free or easily accessible options. Gareth excels particularly well in certain solo situations, or in team compositions that can provide her with additional healing or even allies that can grant her additional turns of Target Focus. With proper investment and team building, the enthusiastic knight will serve Masters well.

Gareth's second and third skills are more effective leveling choices, particularly before her upgrade arrives. Maxing the second skill for the NP charge is only suggested for Masters who plan to use Gareth frequently. For other skills, reaching the max level is entirely optional, although doing so will increase her effectiveness and survivability on the field/

• Battle Continuation C – Before this skill's upgrade, Guts is the sole effect of this skill, and although the HP recovery value scales with level, the amount is not notable enough to make this a priority for leveling. After upgrade, however, both Crit Strength and number of Stars generated by the skill scale with level, making it worthwhile to upgrade. 
• Gareth of the Beautiful Hands B – For those that wish to be able to immediately NP with Gareth with just a non-MLB copy of Kaleidoscope, maxing her second skill will allow the NP Charge provided by the skill to reach 20%. The ATK bonus when taking damage also scales with level, making this a decent investment on all offensive fronts. As a result, if investing in Gareth, in most cases this skill is first priority.
• Ring of Transformation B – Raising this skill will provide boosts to both the DEF and NP Gain buffs, with the DEF buff having notably excellent scaling with level. Unfortunately, the effects all last a single turn, and the taunt effect itself does not change with level. However, it is still worth investing in this skill to reduce its cooldown. If strapped for materials, Masters can leave this at level 6.

Craft Essence Recommendation

The Black Grail

Kaleidoscope

The Imaginary Element

Partake with the King

Holy Night Supper

Golden Sumo: Boulder Tournament

Aerial Drive

Starry Nights

Victor of the Moon

GUDAGUDA Poster Girl

Halloween Arrangement

Grand New Year

Outrage

Gareth benefits from Craft Essences that can either provide additional NP Gauge, NP Damage, or Buster Performance buffs, if building her offensively. If attempting to build a team to maximize how much she can stack her ATK buffs, bringing Target Focus CEs is also an option, giving her an additional turn of enemy focus. 

• The Black Grail: As per usual, The Black Grail provides the largest raw damage boost for Gareth's NP, especially given she has no NP Strength buff of her own.
• Kaleidoscope / The Imaginary Element: Gareth benefits the most from a Kaleidoscope, which when combined with Gareth's second skill at max level, will allow her to NP immediately when she arrives on field. 
• Partake with the King / Holy Night Supper / Golden Sumo: Boulder Tournament / Aerial Drive / Starry Nights: These CEs provide a hybrid of starting NP and an offensive buff, which are useful for boosting her overall offensive performance.
• Victor of the Moon: Gives both Buster performance and Crit damage bonus. She benefits from this CE especially after her upgrade, when she gains the ability to generate a sum of stars on demand.
• GUDAGUDA Poster Girl / Halloween Arrangement / Grand New Year / Outrage: These provide Target Focus effects on Gareth for a set number of turns, which can help Gareth stack up ATK buffs. GUDAGUDA Poster Girl provides Target Focus for a whole 3 turns, while both Halloween Arrangement and Grand New Year provide 1 turn with some measure of defensive protection during that turn.
