For someone with Battle Continuation EX, he sure fucking dies a lot

>even in F/HA he can't even go fishing in peace
it's not fair lancerbros

"in completely unrelated news, local man dies from existing"

They even had to break the rules of Gae Bolg just so he doesn’t absolutely BTFO everyone. If not for plot armor Saber and Archer would have died in the first day

Because he isn’t a character, just a plot device to move the plot along

Gil still best servant

RANSA

He killed his own son

the warp is some shit

I want to screw him

And this is why Emiya Gohan is the best Fate timeline

Attached: Best_Doggo.png (1920x1080, 3.07M)

he doesn't have EX he has A or B

not really breaking the rules, ofc it will fail against servants with A or B luck pretty often

but he isnt Sasaki

>his ability is to always pierce the heart by reversing cause and effect
>Saber can block it though because lol she just can

it's literally his destiny

she never blocked it, it just missed her heart by like 2 inches because of luck.

There's plenty of instant kill or ultimate defence abilities that fail, or have to pass a check that's just how they work. "if you fail the check you die/spear pierces your heart" if you pass it misses complettley or just gets your body, it's very videogamey, but he wasn't nerfed that's always how it works

She also has instinct to be fair.

>x event has 100% chance of occurring by definition
>it doesn’t occur because of that 0% chance of not occuring

it has a 100% chance but that can be reduced below 100% by reality warping luck, obviously.

same reason invincibible defenses (tm) like achillles shield got btfo by one shot of Karna's np, his infinity is bigger

So to sum the entire Fate up
>my infinity is better than your infinity

Battle Continuation doesn't let you survive fatal wounds. It allows you to keep fighting in spite of fatal wounds. You're still gonna die.

that’s fucking retarded, “reality-warping” is really just nasu ex machina

That's not Hassan idiot.

Should have picked an Irish character for the assassin class where we have a much better track record.

yes, literally.

"muh unstoppable move"
"muh ultimate defence can stop anything
"muh instant kill sure kill move"
"muh ultimate attack kills anything"

there are dozens of examples for each of these and nearly all of them have failed multiple times, at the end of the day it comes down to whose OP shit is more powerful, and who can metaphorically impose their version of reality on the world. It's the what would win unstoppable force or immoveable object question? it depends on which is stronger, but ultimately it will be proven that one of them WASN'T unstoppable/immoveable after all.

celts are better suited for berserker

The IRA are pretty good at car bombing though. Once Alexander summons his chariot and gets on its all over.

Not even the best Lancer in Fuyuki

Gae Bolg doesn't fail that often. In Fate/stay night, he only uses the Anti-Personnel version once. It failed because Saber had the right qualities to avoid a fatal strike: High Luck and high Instinct. You need both of those things to dodge Gae Bolg.

Here's the thing about Gae Bolg: Its ability is basically to make it so that you're fated to have you heart pierced by it. It's fate. It's destiny. And BECAUSE it's destiny, it can't be avoided. But there's this thing called the Luck stat, which quantifies a Servant's ability to say "fuck you, I do what I want" to destiny. The higher your luck stat, the more likely you can override destiny.

He gets a pretty nice duel with Saber in UBW, not a bad way to go. Herc gets shafted pretty hard too, losing to dumb bullshit in Fate and getting matched up with two overwhelmingly powerful opponents in UBW and HF before getting to do anything cool

Golden Sword of Victory, man.

>you can't influence chances

Every fucking time

The unbreakable rule in Fate: those who are said to be the most powerful/strongest/.... will be defeated by those who are weaker than them someday

Lancer's are cursed with shit luck.
Except for Karna. He is too much of a Chad to get fucked over.

and that's unironically a good thing

Gawain won.

only cos karnas master sucked

Do they ever manage to summon Jesus?

Nigga he got fucked over literally just by being Karna. EVERYTHING HE DOES drains his Master. Nigga so much as SNEEZES and his Master drops dead.

Cu and Alexander are the kind of bro-tier servants I would summon just for a chance to hang out with them.

Yes that's right

No, he wouldn't be able to be summoned under normal conditions anyways as he's probably classified as a Divine Spirit or even higher. Buddha is a thing in Fate and he's the strongest servant in the series.

He wins bigly in the FGO route. Probably because he isn't summoned as a Lancer.

He's weaker as a Caster. He wins because no one else wanted to.

He's not Japanese

none of the strongest servants are japanese, don't think they even have one in the top ten

Musashi

Don't think she's top ten bro, maybe 9 or 10?

Musashi ?
Also isn't Amaterasu fucking strong in Nasuverse or something ?

1. Read the VN. Kotomine doesn't give a shit about him. He was never meant to win with no real partner/master.
2. Read H/FA VN. Bazette was his original master. Probably one of the most competent masters and had some of the best odds at winning the 5th HGW, but got tricked by Kotomine.
3. E rank luck (aka he's a Lancer)

>musashi
>she

>he doesn't know

Attached: 1557401466881.jpg (976x737, 132K)

Weaker than at least two 4* Servants, one of which is a Cuckoo frenchman.

>Amaterasu

not a servant, can't be summoned.

Musashi is a lot weaker than say
Dantes, Gil, Karna, Arjuna, Solomon, Alcides, Berserker cu, ozy, siegfried, galahad, first hassan, achilles. And that's not including meme shit like buddha

then what is the point of lancer class if they can literally not stop losing

Musashi from Panhistory is male but they're talking about the summonable female Musashi in FGO, who is from a Lostbelt timeline (her world was cut off IIRC)

Luck doesn't matter that much, and every class has weaknesses and strengths.

Japanese Servants are the most skilled, but they're kinda flimsy most of the time. Even when they're not, they could be better. I think Kintoki and Ibaraki-douji might be the strongest in terms of sheer power.

Longinus Lancer is the winner of the HGW that happened before Fate/Requiem

Attached: IMG_1639.jpg (1402x2048, 123K)

yeah most of them have pretty bad stats/physicals, especially the one's who are just skilled humans like kojiro or shinsengumi ppl

why is Karna so fucking based? he is the embodiment of virtue and his roasts are on-par with archer

gacha is not canon

They're still skilled as fuck. There are literally TWO Japanese Servants who developed skills that say "fuck you" to physics, and then there's also Musashi who can cut just about whatever she wants.

I hope we get to see another saver servant in the future

Wasnt raiko the strongest of that group?

She's just really skilled. Obscenely skilled. Not skilled enough to break the laws of physics, but she has the same Eternal Arms Mastery as Lancelot.

Keep crying

am i the only one who thinks this show got better when they stopped trying to mimic Ufotable's art design and just went all out in the actions scenes and just animated them in the typical A-1 style

was it ever explained why king Arthur is a little girl

Kintoki, Ibaraki, and maybe even Shuten are all stronger then Raikou in terms of raw strength.

>then what is the point of loser class if they can literally not stop losing
that's their point.

#2 is just #1 loser

Cu is the best, the 2nd best and the 3rd best 3 star in the game. He's better than some 4 stars. He's also in the top 3 Berserkers too.

So it's not gay when you fuck her

Tbf half of the 4* lancers are shit tier and for a while scat was the only good 5* lancer so most people just used cu

Cool thanks for the info. I've watched some of fate but its a massive series.

Nope, but i wish they did

Pic unrelated

>watch the anime
>sort of entertaining, what's the VN like?
>that part where Shirou has tantric sex with king Arthur in the name of Baphomet in order to give her power in the form of semen
what the fuck

the VN is kino

Nasu loves torturing his best characters.
Just look at Bazett. Killed by mullet priest.

Abe no Seimei will be one.

>merlin but worse

This. The only other time he uses the anti-personel version it causes a wierd ass double kill because two “always attack first” abilities were used against each other.

They've been doing that since he was released, I'd be more impressed if he'll be top tier if anything.

>Cu Alter
>lol just fight this same boss like 5 times in a row
Fuck that fight. What the hell were they thinking?

Cu Alter isn't even his "real" berserker form

We probably won't get proper warp spasm though because it wouldn't make Cu look pretty anymore

Literally alternate timeline.
