** In a way, the Demon Pillars at the Final Singularity. They all have 600,000 HP or more, but at this point, with your party's power (and supports) that is boosted further by Bond Level, it can go down easily in 2-3 turns.

** The Maid Swimsuit Rider version of Altria Alter from Summer 2017 causes some base-breaking, but for different reasons than most of the examples here - the problem with her is that Alter already ''had'' a Rider version, and an incredibly popular freely-available version at that. Moreover, Maid's event also features ''another'' free Rider, so in a lot ways she's seen as being purely a vanity pull and many fans are annoyed that she wasn't given a more unusual role, or filled one of the few classes Altria hasn't filled yet, or wonder why she isn't fulfilling Alter's usual gag of being a more obtainable 4* version of one of Altria's classes (especially since she uses guns so heavily, making her an obvious Archer candidate). Her defenders, however, point out that the gameplay between the two Alter Riders is massively different (all their skills are different, Maid's second skill is a semi-unique effect and their [=NPs=] behave differently) and the whole point is that, while Santa Alter is just a free reskin of Saber Alter in a different class, Maid Alter finally gives us the motorcycle-riding badass Altria many fans have been pining for since the game launched, and which people ''really'' wanted after Shinjuku - and Maid delivers in spades. It doesn't help that she's rather mediocre compared to the other 2017 swimsuit Servants gameplay-wise.

** The summer 2017 event, "Dead Heat Summer Race", is a WackyRacing event with swimsuit-wearing Servants as the participants. And then it turns into the goddamn ''[[Film/TheGreatEscape Great Escape]]'' with swimsuit Servants, and ''Medb'' of all people as the chief prison warden!

*** Also, most foreign players at Japanese server are already neglecting their US accounts as the Japanese version has way more contents and the events date are overlapping. Mainly, they don't want to farm on two events simultaneously.

** The censoring for the Chinese server. They will cover the revealing illustration of Servants in battle screen and even final ascension, having Mata Hari and Boudica for example. Players worry that they will censor every female Servants afterward, even the swimsuit wearing ones, as they have revealing illustrations. Others even worry that the censoring will come to the US server, especially for popular Servants with little girl appearance such as Jack and Shuten-douji.

** The Japanese version's current metagame (for difficult gameplay content) nowadays is Buster-oriented, because of Buster-based supports (most notably Merlin) and Buster-based damage dealers in general (Jeanne Alter, Musashi, Ishtar, and Hijikata). Next are Arts-based teams with damage dealers (Orion, Chloe, and Swimsuit Altria), good supports (Waver, Tamamo, and Holmes), and excellent tanks (Mash, Jeanne, and George). Due to a dearth of Quick supports, Quick-based Servants have been left behind in the dust.

** Musashi is the best Saber in the game because not only does she have a powerful single target NP, but it's the first single target Buster for an SSR Saber, meaning she goes great with Merlin as always. Her attack is also great and her NP has both an NP power up for the Overcharge and dispels enemy buffs. This just makes her great, but with her gorilla BBBAQ deck, a first skill that doubles the hit counts on cards, great natural NP gen ''and'' a bug that acts like a BBA chain gives overkill bonuses, she can go from 0-100 with a single Arts card in a BBA chain with crits. So she hits like a truck, can do it often, has a dispel and even has an invincibility effect and invincibility ''pierce.''

** Nightingale. Her design isn't liked because of her stiff face, cardboard expressions, and weird proportions. After her release, many consider her to be one of the worst SSR Servant (in terms of usability ''and design''). Her design is considered much better in literally ''any'' art outside of her own. Jing Ke, from the same artist, receive the same criticism. Not helping that she became an Assassin Heroic Spirit after ''failed'' to kill an Emperor, meaning she doesn't even has an achievement to her name.

** The best farming stages for "Chaldea Summer" are really tedious because they're very unforgiving for Servants that have a bonus drop rate for that stage. And as usual, you're forced to use the event [=CEs=] for efficiency. The event's rerun changed the farming bonuses to be based on class and altered enemy compositions accordingly to address these complaints.

*** Boudica has decent HP, the ever-useful [[BackFromTheDead Battle Continuation]], and a powerful defense-buffing NP, but poor attack and a skill that's even ''more'' situational than Siegfried's own dragon-slaying skill and barely usable outside of the Singularity she debuts in. Her NP upgrade has been derided as a poor substitute for Mash's upgraded NP.

*** Mysterious Heroine X (Alter) is considered to be the worst SSR Berserker as she has relatively low attack, a quick-centered card set without the star generation for it and very weak skills that do little for herself or others. During the second anniversary, however, the infamously terrible Instinct was replaced with a quick buff that also happens to generate more stars than her old Instinct did.

** Strangely enough, Swimsuit Altria Alter gets this. She has good skills (both active and passive) which makes her NP hit hard, it's just that her NP gain doesn't fit with the kit that she got. However many people have been treating her as a TierInducedScrappy due to the fact that Swimsuit Altria is ''a lot'' better with her SpamAttack and her being compared to other SSR Riders that deal more damage than her. Doesn't help that she was released with some other strong swimsuit servants.

Instead we got Chacha.
