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.

Aye. But the Hrunting feat shows her ridiculous speed as the arrow was stated to cross 4 km in less than a second. To outrun that would put her speed above mach 14. She can close the gap and turn it into a close quarters sword fight quite easily if his first shot fails.

She outran it, yes, but not through her own abilities. First of all, each successive blow was only blocked because Shirou had knowledge of all the failed loops (they'd lost dozens of times to hrunting and because of this he knew exactly what was coming) and even then she had to use the power of a command spell to massively boost her speed far beyond her natural limitations in order to outrun it. Archer was fighting with no master = no command spell = the fight was onesided for numerous reasons. Not a valid win.

Just the fact they had lost previously and more than once should give you your answer of what one can actually expect in this situation.

What about Avalon?


Well... about Avalon. Saber does not really possess Caliburn or Avalon as a heroic spirit, so in most cases both of these are out of the question. And from what I have gathered from seeing it in action and from reading what info there is from it, it is evident she can move while under its protection, but I'm not sure if there's a limit on distance or not, because it is described neither as being attached to her or encompassing an area. I also don't believe she can hurt anyone in it - since it isolates her in another dimensional plane. So while she's safe, so is her opponent. That means if she charges up for an attack her opponent has just as much room to do so and when she's ready to use it she has to expose herself.

In the VN it clearly states that Gilgamesh can't halt his attack and that he was basically stuck where he was, this is why Avalon was used so effectively. In most situations it may be rather useless unless it's used during a single fire shot with enough timing that they don't halt their attack and lose their only opportunity to win.

The question is who's the second strongest servant. By the looks of it, it is Saber. But I don't see how she can take out Iskander, unless Excalibur can take out his whole army.

@Thanos Yes, the reason Avalon was effective against Gilgamesh is because he couldn't halt his attack. So she just ran up to him and used Excalibur.

sorry my bad I meant disrupt it.The only way for her to win against his RM would be to concentrate all of her attacks to him in order for his mana to run out faster,and ignore his army which is kinda impossible since they are all Servants.Then again it uses mana from the entire army unlike Emiya who is alone so forget it.

Ionioi Hetairoi itself can be destroyed three ways.

A) Something that breaks down, dispels, or degrades Reality Marbles (I am sure, for example, someone like Medea has enough magical know-how to accomplish this.)

B) Taking out enough troops. Ionioi Hetairoi is an exception to Reality Marbles in this regard. Iskander is not a Caster and he lacks the mana to supply a Reality Marble on his own. It sustains itself through the combined effort of his troops. If enough of them die he wont be able to keep it up. The number required is probably about half the army or so.

C) Taking out Iskander himself (probably) since the troops would likely fall with him. However, assuming they do not, then this method would fail, since Iskander is not the main supplier of the Reality Marble.

As excessive as it is, Enuma Elish can destroy it using any method above. Saber can only destroy it through the last two methods and whether she pulls it off or not is not guaranteed.

Normal Reality Marbles that are supplied directly through the one casting it can only be destroyed by killing said caster or using the first method. Although killing a single person will, in most cases, be easier than killing many.

She could use Avalon and wait for the RM to go down jk, but then she wouldnt be stronger than Iskander but the most coward Heroic Spirit ever.But she wouldnt because of her personality.

B,C: I think she would fail either way.The army would reach her before she gets ready for one blast and like I said they are Servants ,not just soldiers,in the numbers of a few thousands.

C:whether the RM falls with him or not, if she manages to takes him out ,even with his entire army there then I can consider her as the strongest one between them but I doubt she could do it

Wait why do people think Medea is so powerful? Nasu himself even said that if she could use the Golden Fleece, that would only bring her up to average (amongst the F/SN Servants), and without it she's the weakest. With four of the seven classes having some resistance to magic, and the fact that her stronger spells still take more than a second to cast, she's nowhere near as strong as Saber/Gilgamesh/either Berserker/Alexander.

Anyway, the only way non-Avalon Saber can beat Ionoi Hetairoi if she kills Alexander first. Killing enough soldiers WOULD dispel Ionoi Hetairoi, but she has to stay alive long enough to do this. WITH Avalon, however, she could probably outlast it, so long as she doesn't take a fatal blow (Avalon's healing powers won't save her if she's killed instantly).

Unlike Excalibur, though


Since Ionoi Hetairoi was brought up, Hercules might be able to defeat it. If none of the soldiers have A rank attacks, then the only thing that can kill him is Alexander's chariot, which likely won't kill him 12 times.

excalibur wont take out IH cuz its a beam of light not carpet bombing
pretty unlikely saber will have enough prana to use avalon continuously

it was continuously drawing prana from saber when it was just healing shirou's wounds
plus they barely managed to pull it off in fate and that was with one attack
versus IH is waves and waves of soldiers
if she tries to use excalibur, it will take time and during that period of time she is vulnerable
she cant attack from within avalon either since she is essentially separate from this universe

With Rin as a Master, Saber. With Kiritsugu or Shirou, Berserker. Considering she's almost as powerful as him in statistics and he can't fight tactically while she can, it makes sense. Rin Saber does have A rank Strength and Excalibur, so it's just a matter if she can deal with God Hand's resistance to repeat kills.

If Hercules wasn't Berserker, though, then it's an entirely different battle.

And Caliburn was strong enough to him seven times, though he only had five left at the time.

Thank god for Archer killing him several time then.

Well, UBW actually flat out states that she could defeat Berserker. But then again, the plot hates Berserker as much as it loves Saber, so I'm not sure if she could do it 12 times.

Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all.

Her Strength was only B rank in the Fate route. When she gets Rin as a Master in UBW the narrator just says something to the effect of "she could even defeat Berserker easily like this," but there's no evidence beyond that. That's why it's questionable.

I wish we could've seen Rin's Saber do much more. All we got to see is her fight with Assasain.

which was pretty pathetic since she won with plothax
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.

Saying Rin/Saber is strong is kinda pointless, Almost all servants would be amazing with Rin.
Saber being strong with Rin is not very telling for how good Saber really is, seeing as how ANYONE with Rin is a monster.

How many lives did Caliburn even take out again? Berserker had 5 lives left but from what I remember Caliburn was able to kill him an extra time or something.

It took out seven lives. Not sure how though... Excalibur should be stronger.
Only thing that's ever mentioned is that Saber likes it more or something, which shouldn't make such a huge difference.

if mirror moon ppl were not bsing caliburn had that holy fire thing which continuously burnt away berserker's lives
excalibur is just a beam and thats it therefore prob cant take away all 12 lives
its all about compatibility so

Sure, compatibility, but that shouldn't make the difference between not able to scratch Berserker at all and breaking through his axe-sword + taking seven lives. Excalibur is explicitly stated to be a stronger sword than Caliburn even without the beam attack and considering that Caliburn was traced. What gives (other than obvious plothax)?

Never heard of this holy fire thing. What is it?

excalibur was bounded by invisible air which made it into a rank c
thats why it didnt scratch berserker
caliburn is totally a deus ex machina anyways
takeuchi prob begs nasu all the time to make his waifu haxed

holy fire thing
no idea
heard it some years ago on mirror moon
although imo its prob more because it went through and activated inside of godhand

again compatibility issues
excalibur would be better against stuff with 1 life but caliburn would be better against stuff with multiple lives
like how koujirou would be screwed against ranged attacks but haxed in melee


btw found the nasu interview about saber vs archer
assuming that he wasnt bsing

The class of the representatives of close-range and long-range combat. Saber, who would take her sword in any condition whatsoever and Archer who would fight using a strategy of victory. The highlight won't just be the different battle styles, but the difference between their personalities.
However, even with UBW, it's questionable whether he could hold Saber back. One definite hit from sniping and one absolute blast of death from her Holy Sword. It might really depend on the wit of their Masters not their own in determining who has the upper hand.

The fact of the matter is that Rin-Saber did happen. So if we go by everything in a character's arsenal, counting Rin-Saber is an accessible option in Saber's feats.

Saber takes Heracles out with mid difficulty. If it's any master other than Rin, Heracles takes this in his tennis outfit.
