Let’s play Fate/Grand Order on PC and find out together.
GSSR (short for Guaranteed SSR) is a special type of banner that only appears twice a year in Fate/Grand Order - one during the New Year Celebration Campaign and the other during the Anniversary Celebration Campaign. As the name implies, when you roll on this banner, you will be granted 11 summons, one of which GUARANTEES 1 SSR LIMITED SERVANT from a selection of the servants available in the summoning pool.
In order to roll on this special banner, you need to spend 15 PAID SAINT QUARTZ, meaning you will have to spend around 15$ in order to roll on this banner. However, the pay off is absolutely worth it in the long run as you get 1 SSR Servant with only 15$, while many have to spend over 1000$ just to get no SSR Servants.

The GSSR Banners are divided into 14 different banners with different servants being rated up separately on each banner. However, you can only choose 1 of the 14 Banners to roll on, therefore, some considerations need to be taken into account for you to pick the best banner to spend your 15 Paid Saint Quartz on.
The first consideration is regarding your feelings for a banner, in other words, if that banner contains your absolute Husbandos/Waifus or Servants that you absolutely love. If it does then you should go for that banner.
The second consideration is of necessity, especially for the meta defying characters.
The final consideration is regarding the amount of servants you don’t have on the banner. As these servants are all Limited Time Available Servants, choosing a banner that features a lot of the servants that you didn’t have yet is a great advantage. The smaller the pool, the more likely you will get a new servant to play with.
