Yeah guys, you're forgetting that Kirei...
And in theory Thess is correct. Kirei has several Command Spells and Command Spells aren't used only to force Servants to submission, If Kirei were to order Gilgamesh to do something he himself is already on board with the Command Spell would heighten Gil's already crazy strenght. He could even be ordered to "go all out". The reason Tokiomi never ordered GIl to go all out was because he only had 1 spare Command Spell (because he had to use the last one to order Gil to die) so he couldn't just use it lightly on just anything.

They also forget that he has two Servants under his belt: Lancer and Gilgamesh.

And yeah, unlike Tokiomi, Gilgamesh is fine with Kirei using and wasting Command Spells as he wants. The trick with Gilgamesh is making him like you to function properly. Kirei did that effortlessly.

Anyways since servant battles are about compatibility, its hard to make tier lists.
Instead I think match based are more logical...without PIS or CIS.

FSN lancer: not held back by that stupid command spell and under Kotomine
obvious stuff like Gil and avenger will not be included

> Is win
< Is loss
= Is draw or mutual death

Cu Chulainn < or = Diarmuid (in ireland its Cu Chulainn's win)
< hercules
>EMIYA
>Lancelot
>Medusa
>Shirou Saber and Kiritsugu Saber
<Rin Saber and Saber Alter
>Iskander
>Gilles
>True assassin and Zero Assassin
>Sasaki Kojirou
>Medea

Any objections so far?
As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all.

I'd object with F/SN Rider. Shinji Rider is pure shit, but Real Rider can obliterate him. She can actually even totally petrify him with her Mystic Eyes and open him up to quick death via Bellerophon or however she wants. The only weakness Real Medusa has is the limits of her Master which are similar to Kariya's, except for the fact Kariya sucked as a Mage and Medusa's Master doesn't.

Nasu gives the edge to Cu Chulainn over Medusa, because he's specialized in killing monsters like her (it's same of Lancelot > Arturia). One Gae Bolg and she's done for under Sakura. She has freaking Luck E. He also has a bag of tricks like Rune Magic (which counters Mystic Eyes according to Nasu), not dying while he's killed, etc.

In a normal battles, Lancer would destroy Rider easily. Rider needs more planning to win this. We're going for who will easily trump since the beginning.

Now we don't even know how Lancer would perform under Bazett.

I really doubt that ranking would hold true...

Lancelot could easily dodge Gae Bolg due to his high Luck + Protection of the Fairies, then once he touches Gae Bolg Lancer is done for.
Alexander could easily dodge Gae Bolg, because he has A+ Luck, and then Ionoi Hetairoi -> Lancer gone...
Gilles... not if he summons Cthulu, that thing needs an anti-castle NP, of which Lancer has none.

They should have clarified Lancer with Bazett (but Bazett as the Master makes everything unfair, she can even make Avenger win the Grail War).

You forget striking death flight which will get Lancelot every time.
Gilles needs time to summon his sea monster then basically every servant without an Anti fortress will be screwed. PIS and CIS are off so it would be really illogical for a servant to give his opponent several minutes to complete a summoning ritual. In a straight up battle Gilles sucks.
Again striking death flight applies to Iskander.
Lancer with Bazett will be too haxed.

Lancelot has the biggest luck rating due to fairy hax. So I think he'll win this one.

Gilles... on the other hand, even within the monster, the spear will reach him (luck E, IIRC) because it's supposed to do it no matter what (concept only trumped by luck). Of course, the monster would probably still be around but that's not Caster anymore. :)

Alexander can evade it with LUCK A+. He'll be injured but he is the superior Heroic Spirit. Out of the Servants in the war, I can see Cuchulainn join forces with him... They have a similar easy going temper and liking for sporty battle (plus he doesn't give a damn about the Grail).

Summoning of monsters and spirits take time and preparations. The only reason Caster even managed to call on Cthulu was because everyone ignored his actions until the very end.

As for Lancer > Medusa... I guess I can see it happenning if he's not as gung-ho as usual. If he goes in guns-blazing however he can be tricked. The reason Medusa hides all her real weapons behind limiters is to trick opponnents after all. But yeah, I had forgotten Gae Bolg has an edge against monsters but we'd have to assume Lancer knows of Medusa's identity from the start.

Lancer under Bazzet would be total overkill btw.

I don't think Alexander would even bring his armies in this, the chariot is enough, you know. But once again, I think Cuchulainn would join Alexander rather than try to kill him. He has absolutely no qualms to befriend and ally the 'enemy' (when he doesn't hate them as he does with Kotomine), plus he has no interest in the Grail. I can't imagine any of them fighting to the death to take this seriously.

Lancer and Rider have matched speeds. Immediately output of speed is his, while general is hers (although he's faster when he waits for strikes). She's always weak against anti-monsters types, it's not really something Lancer needs to 'find out'. His magic will block what her Mystic Eyes (Nasu said so), so that was the only advantage she has over him.

Using her NP takes more time than his (which is low use and immediate). It'll be her death either way (the spear will ALWAYS reach her no matter what), meanwhile Lancer is a cockroach of survival (battle Continuation A is mean and he can Disengage to try again when something is unfavorable).

Anyone with Bazett that isn't a weak Assassin, Caster or Avenger is unfair advantage. A lot of the Servant performances depend on the Master matchups.

Even if Iskander doesn't bring out IH, there's no way he can dodge the anti army version.
Cu Chulainn backed up 100 meters in the blink of a eye which puts him at at least mach 2 speed so he could easily sidestep Gordius Wheel like Diarmuid did.

So Gordius Wheel is a shield now?
Because the Anti army version explodes into a mass of thorns that pierces anything in the vicinity.

It's a Noble Phantasm that travels pretty fast for Lancer to AIM. He needs to slay the lighting bulls to even get to Rider.

If his luck was Medusa-tier, Cu could use the normal Gae Bolg (which is better IMO) and call it a day.

He doesn't really need to aim when it's carpet bombing.

Which would depend who is faster? Remember that chariot was barely dodged by freaking Diarmuid who has Mind's Eye True and an agility greater than CuChulainn, plus only because Rider wasn't aiming at him, only Berserker.

I'll give Rider the edge in the fight because he can just run over him with the chariot which seems to be his first impulse. While Cuchulainn rarely goes for the thrown version of the spear (only did this because Nasu wanted Archer to survive that match).

Of course after this, he'll survive (since he's very good at this) and take up the joining offer. I can't foresee blood spilled between them.

Seriously doubt it. You need to consider how they usually fight. Medusa doesn't go for Mystic Eyes at all, unless Sakura is somewhat involved. She prefers to do her spider-snake-like fighting. Neither of them (specially Iskandar) would threaten Sakura (lol Lancelot is fighting for Sakura in an indirect way).

First Lancelot, who is the most skilled in battle among all these Servants, and has high stats overall. He would demolish her in battle before she can react. Kind of what happened against Kuzuki, who was most skilled in his technique.

Iskandar usually goes for his chariot as default. While Medusa usually... hangs around the floor and tries to fight with those spikes she has as default. One hit and she's done for.

Lancelot cant tank that attack and striking death flight's range is not 40 meters...the max that was shown was 40km and can prob go further.
Also you are assuming Iskander has IH open at the start of the fight.

I said in that Lancer post it was PIS and CIS off (or else servants like Gil will be the subject of trolls saying "overconfident therefore loses")
PIS CIS off Medusa pulls mystic eyes right off the bat.
Iskander with his rank D magic resistance and C for mana stands no chance.

Medusa doesn't need to charge Lancelot head on.

Well, idk for Lancelot, but Medusa's eyes are useless against Alexander.

If he ever get's petrified, then he can simply use his reality marble - he doesn't need to move or anything - and materialise far enough from medusa to actually break the effect. Then he can drop the reality marble (because it's useless againsty her) and then we'd have a lovely Bellerophon vs Via Expugnatio air battle...

When has Medusa ever noble phantasm head on? That's right. Never.

You're going against Berserker Lancelot who jumps out nowhere and beats your ass as common greeting. Medusa's doomed against those attacks, even when they are performed by non Servants (see Kuzuki).

Secondly Arondight would be able to perform a saving thrown against pegasus with ease. It killed a dragon which is more powerful than pegasus. Also you're forgetting a detail: Lancelot was ran over Rider's chariot and survived and that Arondight makes him more powerful (in addition of being a sword that cannot receive any damage!).

What? Reality marbles break petrification now? How?

Pegasus has more durability and is faster (needs to be confirmed).
And I'm pretty sure the trampling NP attack wont work in the air.

Lancelot only survived Iskander's attack because it wasn't a head on collision.

And just because Medusa doesn't usually use mystic eyes or NP right away doesn't mean she can't.
Or else it would just end up with Gil going easy on everyone when we get to him.

Well, you can materialise yourself and your opponent pretty much however you want inside a Reality Marble. And if you materialise Medusa 100 metres away I think it would be fairly obvious that she couldn't use her mystic eyes on you anymore...

As for the air-fight, idk... she sure has much better agility, but her endurance is pathetic - a single hit from Rider's chariot would finish her off instantly...

Pegasus boosts durability and IH takes time to materialize. And by that logic Archer coulda just opened UBW on Medusa in HF...

It's a bounded field that affects targets in her range (what will happen to a bounded field within a reality marble I have no freaking clue). Also, within the RM, Rider can place where wherever he wants. Furthermore, as we know in VG I, his Servants have Noble Phantasms (aside of the ones with better stats than his-with Waver as Master-). Since we don't know what they are, makes Rider very difficult to measure overall. What if one happens to have an anti monster Noble Phantasm?

That's why I always... hesitate to include Rider in this because this bit of information is vague. :/

Pegasus has more durability and is faster (needs to be confirmed).


Actually, they are about the same. What Saber faced in FZ was a weakened version since Rider wasn't in his best state:

“About that… if all goes well, I won't be able to use Gordius Wheel in its most powerful form, but simple flight shouldn’t be a problem.”

Only flight one (convenient!). He can easily use lightning strikes without even TOUCHING pegasus. Which naturally couldn't use in his Saber battle because lolpranaloss convenient.

Summoning pegasus wont take longer than opening IH.
IH is useless against pegasus so it will prob end up with air battle which I think pegasus will win.

And for Arondight:
Not enough information is given on how it actually works. We don't even know that limitless factor is even passive or requires activation.
Sure Nasu or Urobuchi can say all they want but without actual feats to back it up those are some very dubious claims.
As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all.

Well, you can materialise yourself and your opponent pretty much however you want inside a Reality Marble. And if you materialise Medusa 100 metres away I think it would be fairly obvious that she couldn't use her mystic eyes on you anymore...

As for the air-fight, idk... she sure has much better agility, but her endurance is pathetic - a single hit from Rider's chariot would finish her off instantly...

The whole thing took place inside Bloodfort Andromeda, which cuts off connection with the outside and escape routes. Reality Marbles presumably fall under the category of escaping and thus are not useable.
Also, Medusa's eyes only completely petrify owithin close distance. Even Shirou was able to move under their influence, simply because he was standing a bit further back - I doubt Alexander would ever get close enough for Medua's eyes to work in the first place...

The trampling isn't everything. The chariot itself and the lighting is another effect. None of this Rider could use against Saber because he was limited to flight when they fought (prana exhaustion).

Eh, you're disregarding word of god.

Lancelot wouldn't even need to use this. Medusa is dead the second he punches her. She's pretty weak against surprise attacks of trained people who are faster and stronger than she is. No need to even measure Noble Phantasms here.

Even if we do, Arondight is going to be powerful as Excalibur 'sister' blade in terms of divine mystery. Even Nasu admits Lancelot is a brutal hax.

No, the eyes can only work at people during their range. It also turns into a divine mystery vs divine mystery contest (since we're dealing with bounded field and reality marble).

Maybe Rider can recruit high school professors for his army. Obviously Medusa's weakness.

Range is probably a factor but if Iskander is within range: "Those who possess Rank C or lower in Mana will be immediately petrified."

Shirou was prob either out of range or protected by plothax...like always.

About Rider being defeated by Kuzuki (Having Shinji as a master is prob a factor) and Gil beaten by Shirou (Gil being a retard therefore all of the matches I posted had PIS and CIS off):
You just misunderstood my sentence.
What I meant was the feats demonstrated by the characters will always be taken into consideration before the word of god. Like how Shiki sliced Arc 17 times in an instant etc. (which is word of god but disproved by his feats later on)

If he gets within range it will most probably be with in his Chariot going at Mach speed, which means he'll get out of range and will be depetrified immediatelly anyway

If she pulls pegasus first (which was the reasoning of this battle), he will realize who she is. He's not stupid, he loves Greek myths and his 'father' is Zeus.

Once again, her technique isn't the eyes, it's the BOUNDED FIELD she creates through them. We don't really know how would a bound field resists against a reality marble which it's a divine mystery is higher qualifier as factor. Within his RM, Rider can place himself and his army away from her range (since he chooses the positions). We don't know how many anti monsters specialized and NP his soldiers have.

The issue about Rider's RM is that we never saw the full capacity because when he was going all out, Gilgamesh used EA all out.

Point: Unlimited Blade Works isn't a 'real noble phantasm' (in CM). It also needs an incantation unlike IH. It doesn't have the divine mystery-quality measurement that Nasu uses to decide the battle wins rather than powerlevels. That's why you need to take them into account in the other battles. Higher divine mystery usually is the winner unless they are NP as Lancer's or Bazett's that have special properties.

BloodRequiem said:

It doesn't matter, she was one-hit-killed by Kuzuki. If "master is a factor", well duh, so does freaking Waver for Rider. And Kariya for Lancelot. Rider was at least getting prana from external resources.

I can accept Lancelot winning against Medusa but I still think Medusa will win against Iskander. Iskander because Bellerophon was 90% of Excalibur's output (or something like that) and Excalibur owned Gordius Wheel.

I don't know who will win between Iskandar and Medusa. Because of the bounded field vs reality marble factor which is unknown. Also details we don't know about his soldiers (including their np, attributes, etc). You understand what I'm trying to say?

Their steeds would be about as equal in their optimal state. They have different effects.

But yeah Lancelot is stupidly strong... He's not even my favorite Servant, but even one of his abilities can be summed up as "plothax" (protection of the fairies).

This is what Saber 'owned':

“About that… if all goes well, I won't be able to use Gordius Wheel in its most powerful form, but simple flight shouldn’t be a problem.”


Gen must have hated poor Arturia. He basically justified her victories as "lol her opponent was weakened" (aside of Caster) :/
