Who is the strongest servant in Fate-verse?
| It's because a Berserker. WORST class for him. |

Ragna92 said: I can't believe Hercules has only 10 votes. He should at least have the third most IMO. True that, he only lost due to plot armor. |

Swifteh said: Don't forget how Gil just used him as target practice because he was unable to use any skills to protect Ilya other than just blindly charging ahead. If he had been, say, an Archer then he could have actually unleashed some hell on Gilgamesh without having to completly rely on his God Hand.Ragna92 said: I can't believe Hercules has only 10 votes.

| so we have Gilgamesh in 1st place Arturia in 2nd EMIYA & Lancelot in 3rd Although I have some objections on EMIYA and Lancelot,I am more against Saber having 2nd place.At least according to previous discussions,she should be 3rd at best. |
| EMIYA<Diarmuid <Rin Saber, Kiritsugu saber and Saber Alter >Shirou Saber >Lancelot <Hercules (Could go either way but I'm leaning towards Hercules winning) <Iskander >Gilles >Medea <Cu Chulainn <Medusa >Kojirou >True Assassin and Zero Assassin Any objections? |

| 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.

| I think EMIYA can take down Berserker Heracles simply because of of UBW spam. I'm pretty certain he didn't even use the UBW Reality Marble itself in the Fate route (Ilya would have noticed it was a Reality Marble, she actually didn't even knew what the hell Archer did) and he still managed to kill Herakles six times while not fully recovered (he claims to have recovered but he was bluffing). The sad part about Herakles as a Berserker is that he loses all that makes him an awesome warrior essentially making him weaker and completely reliant on God Hand. |

| A bit curious as to why EMIYA would lose against Saber Alter if HF Shirou could take her down. inb4 plot armor. |

Hercules does have beastly speed and strength and could potentially rush EMIYA down before he can completely open UBW. Well if he used swords to slow Hercules down like how Saber used the gravestones in the beginning of UBW then he might win but still...that's why I said it could go either way. I'm still leaning towards Hercules winning simply because the fact that EMIYA doesn't have Enkidu. (Hercules probably could have charged Gil down if not for Enkidu) stAtic91 said: A bit curious as to why EMIYA would lose against Saber Alter if HF Shirou could take her down. inb4 plot armor.

If Archer uses NLBW, or Gae Bolg then its basically his win but you keep denying him the right to use a part of his arsenal. Him using NLBW or Gae Bolg is different in concept to Lancelot having people to provide him with weapons because Archer is creating them himself. Crane wings 3 chains for close range fights-Archer is NOT shit in close combat. Lancelot doesn't have instinct and projectile protection so its very unlikely that he will be able to survive the combo. VS Shirou Saber Archer can totally hold her off long enough to open UBW. It's Kiritsugu, Rin and Alter Saber that are the problems. If he wasn't bullshitting about tracing Excalibur he would probably be placed higher. |

| Saber > All |

| Projection is magecraft but there's slight differences. ANyway, the beginning of Fate is not evidence as to how matched Saber (under SHirou) and Archer are. Archer had several plot-related reasons for getting injured, like suddenly remembering the last of his memories at the sight of Saber and Saber going directly for a stupid Rin who somehow thought her magecraft was suddenly able to pierce a Saber's magic projection (when even Caster can't). Also, Archer can't trace Excalibur, but he can trace a cheaper imitation. hut it doesn't matter as he wouldn't do it since it would take all of his prana just to unleash it). |

Yeah I am saying neither that projections would spontaneous implode on contact with Saber's Magic Resistance nor that the beginning of FSN shows that clearly Saber >>>>>> Archer. I am saying that Archer would have trouble with Saber, particularly so in close combat, and that it would be logical for Magic Resistance to reduce the effectiveness of attacks from Projected weapons since it is, after all, magecraft. |

Wedgez said: Excuse my ignorance, but how would Archer deal with Avalon anyways? Avalon is kind of like Stasis Field, if you'll excuse my Starcraft reference. While the user can't be hurt while it's active, the user also cannot attack until they exit from its effects. I personally think that this can still be quite useful against Archer if used correctly, but it's helpful to keep in mind that it is not blanket invincibility. It also has that passive healing boost, which is helpful but not overwhelmingly powerful. |
|
ataraxial said: That last part is actually very good to remember. Shirou actually survived most encounters not solely because of Avalon, but because his body would turn into swords as a defense mechanism stemming from Unlimited Blade Works, and all the extra damage would then be healed by Avalon afterwards. Avalon didn't make it invincible, he just had two very useful abilities stacked together (UBW + Avalon). A good example would be Herakles attack on Shirou. Shirou states that he felt the attack was strong enough to slip him in half, but his body was in fact not split in fact, thanks to UBW, and the internal organs that were shattered by Herakles were later healed by Avalon. This happens again later when Shirou's body turns so hard Rider can't pierce it with her weapon so she resorts to kicking him from the third floor window (again, UBW turns body into steel, Avalon heals).Wedgez said: Excuse my ignorance, but how would Archer deal with Avalon anyways?

Avalon is not an offensive noble phantasm and for a EX ranked NP it kinda sucks. curses will be able to slow down the regeneration and if the heart of the brain are damaged then there is no way to revive the victim |

BloodRequiem said: Rin, Kiritsugu, and Alter Saber can pull an Excaliblast much easier than Shirou Saber thats why Archer probably wouldn't be able to take them Shirou Shaber can use Excaliber just as any other Saber - maybe not spam it, but a couple times during a fight are perfectly fine. Even under Rin, she couln't use it more than twice at a time anyway... |

Pan151 said: ...at full power, which is sometimes she only ever does twice, both ocassions being when she destroys the Grail. Shirou Saber can't use Full Excalibur AT ALL because of the fact Shirou has no means of recharging her prana efficiently enough to allow it. Fighting and surviving against Lancer + Herakles alone during the first night she was summoned took half of her reserves. So no, unless she wants to kamikaze (like she did against Rider) or has stocked up some extra mana before hand (like she did before the Gilgamesh fight) she can't use Excalibur efficiently. Even the times she used it in the GIl fight were a plot stretch and one where we have to assume: A) getting back Avalon restored her stock of prana to decent levels, beyond what a mere hour of sex would, B)plot hax was involved.BloodRequiem said: Rin, Kiritsugu, and Alter Saber can pull an Excaliblast much easier than Shirou Saber thats why Archer probably wouldn't be able to take them Shirou Shaber can use Excaliber just as any other Saber - maybe not spam it, but a couple times during a fight are perfectly fine.

Against Rider she had the extra problem of not having any mana flow from Shirou at all and having to use her own reserves for many days straight. If they had done the... ehm... ritual from day one, and she was at full power, then she could have used it twice too. And remember, we are talking about 1v1 on full power, not at arbitrary levels of mana exhaustion... |

You need to take into account that of his plans would get screwed over by Protection of Faeries Hax which gives Lancelot plot armor to do what he likes.

BloodRequiem said: F/UC isn't cannon.. Yes, it is. Acknowledged as part of Nasuverse. Fate/Extra Material. Also video game mechanics =/= quotes. Archer admits he's nowhere the level of Lancelot. Canon. He'll be probably reduced to a fanboy goo if he ever met the guy. BloodRequiem said: KoH cant act on projections so stealing weapons are a no go Says who? You? Of course it can, since Zerker basically fills it with his own prana and steals it. Rin uses a projection (that Shirou gives her), have you forgotten? They work on a similar level actually. Again, are you using a blind, slower, distracted Herakles as a measure? |

Archer projecting Nine Lives is NOT the same as Lancelot hijacking jets because Archer creates them himself from scratch based on his memories. It is a personal skill and doesn't require a random stroke of luck for it to be there. If the two are of the same nature then we might as well say projection is completely out of the equation since it requires him to encounter all those weapons in his lifetime... |

Knight of Honor allows Lancelot to make anything conceptualized as a weapon be taken as his personal D-rated Noble Phantasm. Including his sword spam. Since, you know, they are weapons? |

Sources saying F/UC is cannon part of nasuverse? yes Nasu did say F/E is canon (Dunno the logic behind that but meh) but nowhere are there info saying F/UC is canon And also just because he says he likes the guy and will suck compared to him doesn't mean that he really will lose Rin never attempted to disrupt the structure of Zelretch with her own prana while KoH requires Lancelot's corrupt prana to soak the weapon therefore disrupting the structure and as far as I know Lancelot does not know reinforcement and projection magecraft and he does not have an affinity with sword creation therefore it will break the projection refer to Shirou's training sessions supersonic is from 9 bullet revolver narration: I surpass the crashing speed of sound |

BloodRequiem said: Sources saying F/UC is cannon part of nasuverse? Whatever is compiled in the Character Materials is canon. UC not only had the scenarios written by Nasu, but also appears in Fate/Extra Material. BloodRequiem said: And also just because he says he likes the guy and will suck compared to him doesn't mean that he really will lose. He says he's inferior to Lancelot. Period? We're talking about overall edge, it's Lancelot's. BloodRequiem said: Rin never attempted to disrupt the structure of Zelretch with her own prana while KoH requires Lancelot's corrupt prana to soak the weapon therefore disrupting the structure Uh yes, she did? She had to wield it by processing mana (exterior) and making her own to release it. She had fill it with her prana too... BloodRequiem said: supersonic is from 9 bullet revolver narration: I surpass the crashing speed of sound Which still needed Berserker to be BLIND and slower than usual and get distracted to strike? Lancelot and David (from Apocrypha) are the two Servants who would make Gilgamesh and EMIYA hate their lives. |

Except it's not based on his memories. It's from seeing the axe sword in the present as Shirou. There is no basis for assuming that he has Nine Lives stored in his arsenal. If it were, why doesn't he ever use it? |

| anyone who doesn't vote Gilgamesh has no idea what they are talking about. He would have curbstomped both Wars in one hour if he went serious as Nasu said. |

pikachuwei said: anyone who doesn't vote Gilgamesh has no idea what they are talking about. He would have curbstomped both Wars in one hour if he went serious as Nasu said. There was never a need for Nasu to even confirm this - it's blatantly obvious. And, also, if we take a look at the way that the various heroic spirits' power is generally determined, ie how grand, old and well-known their legend is, it is pretty obvious that there is no hero that can realistically compete with him - he was the very first hero to ever exist, one of the first kings to ever exist, owner of all ancient treasures, almost a full god etc... he's just out of reach for any person that came after him. If we were to find some servant that can outpower him you'd have to look back into myths of Genesis, which would obviously require taking some fairly excessive liberties with the lore Nasu set. And even then, the only person that has a greater legend than Gilgamesh's, and complies with the basic rule of having been born human or part-human, is -like I said some pages before- Lilith. Which, obviously, noone in their right mind would willingly summon (nonetheless, I would love to see Lilith in some future Fate project - she would make an excelent example of the Avenger class) |

| Avenger is the coolest Servant, but he's not the strongest. ALTHOUGH his final form would make him indeed more powerful than the rest (with the wish granted), third greatest human killing machine in Nasuverse (after Primate Murder and ORT). |

It's just that the fact that someone voted for Avenger initially made me want to rofl so hard that I had to insert Gil's laugh to emphasize that. Oh yeah...why does Gil like Avenger? |
