It's never said anywhere so this is just my own opinion; but thinking about it logically there's no way it could somehow rank down, say, Excalibur or Ea since they aren't going to be...uh....looking at her eyes.

Or keeping her in their "minds eye".

God Hand is a rank B NP.

Meanwhile Berserker's stat sheet shows



And I don't think a NP can go insane,either.

Madness specifically increases parameters while causing the individual to lose sanity, maybe it's because it's late in the night but I'm not sure i'm seeing the contradiction here.

Both Rider's Cybele and ME state "all parameters" get affected.

The NP stat is still a parameter all the same.

Is what i'm arguing.

No stats of the person is affected. That's why berserker can't use one of his NP...it isn't that his "Madness" ability makes him unable to, it's that madness makes him insane and because he is insane he can't "use" one of his NP...but the NP doesn't get degraded because of it.

In this case Saber vs Rider, Saber would get a subtract 1 grade to all stats but her NP would remain the same rank because the rank doesn't depend on the owner, it depends on itself.

Madness and Cybele aren't the same, tho.

Madness is a class skill, Cybele isn't. Obvs the former will be stronker and different.

And just to be Mira

Stronkest Hory Sword > Monster things.

On a more serious note, you should probably ask Nasu this.

What does this have to do with Gods Hand...i see in no areas were it shows gods hand being affected by Berserkers Madness other than in use, not rank.

It's rank is bumped from B to A is the point.

Whether that has anything to do with it's effectiveness i don't know,but it's still a thing.

Err, God Hand is always B Rank, y know. It's just negating attacks and NPs below A Rank.

Madness/Mad Enhancement didn't do anything to NPs as far as I know.

Yeah NP does lower its rank by 1. NP is also a skill.



Look the NP's rank does change but the weapon's rank doesn't.
If u have a low NP u can't take out all the weapon's power that's all.
Rin's Saber can fully bring out Excalibur's power while Shirou's can't.


That's not how it works.

Invisible Air is C rank. Excalibur is A++.

I'm guessing the NPs changed because, like you said, Saber can use it more with Rin.

Still, Excalibur is forever A++ it never drops down to a C, that's IA.

More like because she lost Invisible Air when she turned Alter, I think.

Anyway, the default NP stat is according to what kind of particular NP that Servants used the most. Saber still had C Rank as NP stat even when she's Rin Servant because Invisible Air is what she used the most. Same with Gil having E-A++ to his NP stat in F/sn because he defaulted to Gate of Babylon (though F/z is weird by having his GoB to EX Rank).

Can use it more cuz of NP rank? No, how many times u can use it is based on the Magical Energy rank. Not the NP rank.

For example let's take Saber Alter one who is known for being able to use Excalibur repeatedly.

Look at her ME rank and compare it with the normal Saber's. That's why she can use it so freely. Not cuz of the NP rank.

I never said Excalibur drops down to C. All I said was that at that state Saber, who can normally bring out its full power, can't bring out all its power anymore cuz her NP rank was lowered.


The NP rank wasn't lowered. The default NP that it shows for her is IA, not Excalibur.

No, she didn't.



Like I said, 2 different NPs. Excalibur is the one with A++ and IA is the one with C. It literally doesn't matter what master it is. And IA being C has nothing to do with her not being able to fully utilise Excalibeamu. :/

I just took screenshots from my save file at the end of Fate.




As you can see, Excalibur was unlocked and it has an A++ rank, but her ability to utilize its full strength is reduced to C.

Otou-san, you're gonna help when?


1) Also, wow, never ever heard of the NP skill rank.
2) It makes absolutely no sense, so I'll stay ignorant and not believe you.

I'll just leave my 2 cents from what I know;
a) Her NP rank/skill/parameter thing is C and Invisible Air is C. It turned to A++ and A++ is Excalibur.
b) GH is a B rank that is turned A rank by mad enhancement. Hence why it only allows A rank attacks or higher to even scratch it.

Was literally never sated or shown.

So I will keep my bias that the C represents IA. They're the same rank for a reason.

But the status screen IS showing it, doesn't matter if that effect was seen in the story events. It still happens.

Also, take a look at the second screenshot. Rin's Saber's NP rank was A++ BEFORE Excalibur was revealed in the route. Shirou's Saber's NP rank was still C AFTER Excalibur was used.

So yeah, the NP rank in the character status screen has nothing to do with the actual rank of the NP itself. Like how the rest of of the status are dependent on the Master.

Most if not all (didn't check) servants have their NP skill rank the same as their NP cuz its the minimum they need to use their strongest NP. Saber was given C cuz she can fully utilise IA with what she has from Shirou but she can't fully utilise Excalibur(A++) so her skill rank was C. So since she has two NPs her skill would be either A++ or C. Depends on her Master. Shitty or not.


Why didn't you just say that to begin with? :I

Honestly, I don't care anymore because Nasu math is ridiculous if we apply logic to it. And he's only referencing DnD and RPGs anyway when he used those stats.

Thinking about it too much would make you become closer to anime.

Well if the NPs aren't weakened, then there's no point for the skill. You're the one that says that she won't be able to fully utilise it. Which can also count as it being weakened in one way or another.

Then you guys are saying that NP rank is potential percentage rather than power?
That would explain Saber's win against Rider, but puts a big question mark on Lancer's and Caster's NP ranks. There's no way those two aren't using their NP to their full potential.

NP rank can't make sense if it's a percentage indicator.

Good speculation,don't know if it's all legit but good effort nonetheless

Though i gotta say,if Saber's NP stat under Shirou indeed represents Excalibur,then he's more shit of a Master than i thought.

Secondly, there's nothing wrong with being sceptical. Do you expect someone to completely believe everything everyone says? No, you take what you hear, and you verify it. Anything less would be gullibility.

This obsession over being 'fully convinced but having doubts' is so petty I can't imagine anyone wasting their time with it. No one cares, and it's not a big deal.

She's FULLY convinced you have a point. Not that you're absolutely right beyond doubt. Accept it, grow up, and move on!
