Fate/Grand Order: Andromeda, is she really a good Servant? In-depth performance analysis!
ZTL analyzes Andromeda's performance in Valentine 2026. Overall, it has decent performance, but points out the lack of synergy with the current Quick meta, skill composition dependent on specific situations, and lack of firepower based on NP1. Nevertheless, it is considered worth collecting due to its unique tanking mechanism and decent appearance.

2. 📊 Andromeda's Card Composition and Passive Skill Analysis
- ✅ It consists of 2 Quick cards, 2 Arts cards, 1 Buster card, and an Extra Attack.
- ✅ The 62% NP acquisition rate is decent and helps with NP recovery upon critical hits.
- ⚠️ However, it is difficult to create perfect synergy with the current Quick meta.
| Passive Skill | Effect |
|---|---|
| Riding A+ | Quick card performance increased by 11%, NP acquisition increased |
| Magic Resistance C | Slight debuff resistance |
| Hero&願望; | Increases attack power by 10% when guts are activated (3 turns) |
| Skilled Swimming | Acquire 5% NP every turn in waterfront terrain |

3. 🤔 In-depth Analysis of Passive Skills: Hero&願望; and Skilled Swimming are Disappointing
- ⚠️ 'Hero&願望;' is disappointing because the activation condition is tricky and the effect is insignificant.
- ⚠️ 'Skilled Swimming' has low utility because it is only activated in certain terrains.
- ✅ Append skills can be useful for increasing attack power against Berserkers.

4. ✨ Active Skill Analysis: Skill Composition That Can Do Both Damage and Tanking
| Skill | Effect |
|---|---|
| Skill 1: Daughter of Cassiopeia A | Instantly acquire stars and acquire them every turn, damage cut, NP 30% charge |
| Skill 2: Sacrificial Maiden A | 3-turn taunt, guts, increased NP and critical damage when attacked |
| Skill 3: Nereus, Chain of Divine Revelation EX | Increases Quick, Arts, and NP damage (3 turns) |
- ✅ Skill 1 is useful for instant NP charging and star acquisition.
- ✅ Skill 2 protects allies through taunt and guts, and enhances its own performance through effects when attacked.
- ✅ Skill 3 contributes to increasing firepower by increasing Quick, Arts, and NP damage.

5. 🌊 Noble Phantasm Analysis: Securing Stability with Enemy Skill Seal and Increased Defense
- ✅ Quick AoE Noble Phantasm with enemy wide skill seal, self defense increase, and enemy defense decrease effects.
- ✅ Induce enemy attacks through skill seal and enable stable tanking with increased defense.
- ✅ Reducing enemy defense contributes to increasing the firepower of the entire ally.

6. ⚔️ Final Evaluation: Unique Tanker, But NP1 is Disappointing
- ⚠️ Firepower may be insufficient based on NP1, which may be disadvantageous in long-term battles.
- ⚠️ Farming performance is not good.
- ✅ Stable tanking is possible in solo play.
- ✅ Stable tanking is possible against Casters and Pretenders, but survivability may vary depending on the boss's attack power increase buff.

7. 🤔 Pickup Value: OK if you love the character, but what about picking it just for performance?
- ⚠️ If Andromeda is your favorite character or you like the appearance, it is worth picking up.
- ⚠️ However, we do not recommend picking it up just for performance.
- ✅ When used as a Grand Rider, the dedicated Craft Essence shows pretty good performance.
