Spartacus's Basic Information

Name	Spartacus
Class	★1 Berserker
Obtain	Friend Point Summon

Spartacus's Strengths

Versatile Farming Attacker

Spartacus is an excellent attacker with an AoE Buster Noble Phantasm. As a Berserker, he deals 1.5x damage to most enemies, and with up to a 30% NP charge, making his Noble Phantasm easy to use.

Especially Great for Beginners

He is a useful attacker for daily quests like the Training Grounds or Ember farming. Since his training costs are low, beginners should prioritize leveling him.

Decent Survivability

Spartacus is fragile due to his Berserker class, but his second skill provides a Guts effect, allowing him to survive a fatal hit once. He also has an HP recovery skill, though it is rarely impactful.

Ignore Defense is effective in some high-difficulty quests

His Noble Phantasm ignores defense, allowing him to deal full damage even when enemies use defense buffs. While this is only relevant in certain high-difficulty quests, it's a useful niche ability.

Low Stats

Like many low-rarity Servants, his stats are low. As a Berserker, he is vulnerable to taking heavy damage, and his own damage output can sometimes be insufficient for farming. It's recommended to boost his performance with Fous and support from allies.

Servants with Good Synergy

Compatible Supporters
	Zhuge Liang (Lord El-Melloi II) (★5) A versatile support capable of handling many situations. He provides both an AoE 20% NP charge and a single-target 30% NP charge, making him a top pick for 3-turn farming setups.
	Koyanskaya of Light (★5) She provides a massive 50% NP charge and a high-multiplier Buster buff to a single ally. This makes her a core piece for Buster-oriented farming and challenge quests.
	Oberon (★5) He provides up to a 70% NP charge and a high-multiplier NP Strength up. Since his demerit prevents the target from acting on the following turn, he is best used for the final wave or a finishing blow.
	Merlin (★5) He provides an AoE 20% NP charge. While this is lower than what some other supports offer, he significantly boosts damage output with a very powerful Buster buff.
	William Shakespeare (★2) An excellent low-rarity support who provides a single-target 20% NP charge and a Buster buff, even at low skill levels. His own NP damage is also respectable, allowing him to serve as an attacker when needed.

Recommended Skill Leveling by Priority

Skill 1	Priority: ★☆☆ You can boost the HP recovery amount each turn. If leveled it improves survivability, but for farming purposes leaving it unleveled is fine.
Skill 2	Priority: ★★★ At Lv10 the NP charge becomes 30%. It makes activating the NP easier, so level it first.
Skill 3	Priority: ★★★ You can boost the multipliers of Buster Up and HP recovery. It boosts damage and improves survivability, so prioritize leveling it.
