I meant he could use Nine Lives like Shirou did in HF.Even if dark Berserker is weaker than the normal one.And without the after effects that Shirou had,EMIYA would be able to use it more than once

It really could just be Archer BS'ing everyone but he more or less claims he could trace an imperfect version of Excalibur, stress on imperfect. It's beyond his means to make a perfect Excalibur.

Excalibur and Caliburn are different in that Excalibur exists as usable NP (or something like that)while Caliburn isnt ,even Saber doesnt have it.I think the problem with Excalibur is the mana needed unlike Ea where the problem is mostly with the material.

Even if Archer is able to trace it it's useless since he himself says he would die after the attack.....

How would Gilgamesh deal with EMIYA's hrunting?

use whatever he can to deflect it and at the same time attack (with GoB/Enkidu) Archer hoping to hit him before hrunting becomes to strong for Gilgamesh.for now only that comes to mind....

More or less yeah, spamming. But Archer proved himself to be a very intelligent Servant when it came to fighting and covering his weaknesses (he literally only dies because the plot demands it, the same way the plot demands him to hesitate when facing Saber).

But if Gilgamesh looses against Shirou in UBW because Shirou could pick up swords faster than Gilgamesh could fire/grab them from GoB, how the hell is he supposed to block an arrow that travels at 4 km/s.

because shirou had hax
if Gilgamesh wasnt retarded...even if he was as serious as he was in fate...shirou woulda died as soon as UBW opened up

against archer i wouldnt be surprised if Gil pulls out a shield like rho aias and blocks it
not to mention his armour is tank material

Then again, Gil didn't take the fight seriously until it was too late. He wasn't wearing his armor either. Still, when he realized he was going to lose he still didn't have enough time to pull out EA.

well Unlimited Blade Works IS faster in creating weapons than Gate of Babylon is at summon/call them from Gilgamesh's Vault.Though if they werent fighting one on one but keep spamming each other Gil would have won even without Ea.

Gil is obviously the strongest of all FZ and FSN. Not just in power, but in intelligence. .

Iskander and Saber must be very close to his power though.

Gil has enough derp moments to make one wonder if he "really" is smart. He def has the overpowered hax though.

Also...Archer can keep Unlimited Blade Works up for far longer and suffers no penalties in it unlike SHirou. And Gil wouldn't have the "time" to pull out anything, let alone a shield. He'd be pretty well busy just trying to stop almost instant barrages of swords.

it was assuming that he didnt have UBW opened and was simply shooting hrunting as a BP
and if Gil wasnt full retard
he wouldnt let archer open UBW in the first place
Gil...didnt really show much intelligence...he could be smart but it might be just buried under all that CIS
archer...no doubt about it the guy is smart and preps too

Saber Is stronger than gil with Avalon if her master Rin or kiritsugu or sakura shirou not sure.

only saber with shirou would get avalon
and she pretty much got lucky in timing in that battle
Gilgamesh couldnt dodge because he couldnt stop Ea from turning and jump back

Stronger how? Gil has the firepower of 4-5 servants. There is no way Saber is stronger then Gil. Unless You mean in character-Gil.

Avalon blocking Enuma Elish=/=Saber stronger than Gilgamesh

If Gilgamesh completely depends upon Ea it is. Ea has to charge up just like Excalibur. However Gilgamesh has more fallback options than Saber does (although Saber is more skilled in close-range battle).

And there's something people keep overassuming again. The only reason Saber was even originally summoned in the Holy Grail Wars was because Avalon was found. Yeah, she wouldn't have Avalon in the Fifth War because of plot-reasons but any master other than Kiritsugu apparently, would have given Avalon back to Saber. Only reason she didn't have Avalon at all in the Fourth War was because Kiritsugu wasn't even planning on using Saber properly.

As such, assumming she's summoned as she is originally and her Master doesn't hate her guts she would have Avalon (similar to how Heracles was given a giant stone axe made from the item the Einzberns used to summon him).

Strongest isn't the same as who would win in a fight, though. Avalon vs Ea, Gilgamesh is still stronger because as you said, he has other things he can do.

Similar to how Saber is stronger than Archer, but with tactics and such, he can defeat her.

Not that Avalon Saber would beat serious Gilgamesh.
