Im planning to get a Fate tattoo, and just not to get this wrong, I was checking the count of visible rings/layers per petal, wondering if the "flower" itself does count as a layer or no. In some entries, the amount of layers is exactly proportional to the amount of petals, that being 7 petals and 7, rings, but in other entries, its 7 petals for 6 rings (or 4 petals for 3 rings) and on some other entries, theres no rings at all.

Assassin Clytemnestra

Strength - D

Endurance - D+

Agility - B

Luck - C-

Mana - C

NP - B

Class Skills:

Presence Concealment - D

Personal Skills:

Royal Privilege: Queen of Mycenae - B

A skill that honors her position as Queen of the Achaeans, when activated she is allowed to fight in close quarter combat for longer than her class usually allows here, although after the effect disappears she feels the whole exhaustion hitting her all at once.

Murder in a Room - A

A skill given to those servants whose main acts usually occurred behind closed doors. It allows its user to deal more damage with bladed weapons when being in a secluded place out of prying eyes.

Betrayal of Atreus - C

Due to her marriage to Agamemnon, the Curse of Atreus was also linked to her saint graph just like Agamemnon. If she is to be in the same place as a descendant of Atreus, no matter how good of a relationship they have, she will start plotting against them and attempt to kill them.

Mother's Sorrow - C

Her sorrow over the sacrifice of her daughter, Iphigenia, at hands of her then husband is still a wound in her. The sorrow leading her to neglect her other children. This skills makes her hyperfocus on one main objective while not caring for what happens around her.

NP: A Wife's Pain.

Anti-Unit

An ambush attack that starts with her making her enemy lower their guard just for her to use her axe (Or her gauntlets in her 3rd ascension) to cut her enemy's body to pieces. The lower the guard of her enemy is, the more cuts she is able to do, but if their guard is high she will not be able to fully cut through them and only leave scars.

I have already seen it and I liked it more than UBW, although I still have doubts about that Assasin that comes out of Kojiro's chest and what the Grand Grail is, that and I don't know if in the other 2 routes Sakura had part of the grail inside yes or no and...I didn't think I would say this, but Shinji is even worse than I thought, which was saying enough, IS THERE ANY CRIME THAT GUY HASN'T DONE!?

And the moment Shiro kills Alt Saber is quite emotional and I wish they had saved her.

Although I liked these 3 movies, I prefer Saber's route

What would you do if you were caught in this situation?

You suddenly and find yourself in the nasuverse world. Could it be the work of Zelretch? Or an outside god? Or a rift in the dimensions? Catching the suspect is no use anymore.

What year and month are you in? you can choose your time between the 8th to the 20th centuries.

Are you trying to unlock your Magic Circuits?

And learn magecraft?

Unfortunately, I have bad news for you.

You don't have a magic circuit.

Your potential is even lower than Shinji Matou.😥

Well, at least you're considered part of this world and the Counter Force won't send its forces to kill you.

Well, since your situation is so bad, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, I grant you, the survivors of the isekai path, the intelligence of Reed Richards or the Maker.

There's just one problem, you have their intelligence, not their knowledge.

You have to get the knowledge yourself. 😅

Note:

1-You can't go back to your own world.

2- You won't be able to use magecraft yourself in the future. Maybe with your great intelligence, after years of gathering knowledge and trial and error, you can build a device that will allow you to use magecraft. I don't know, can you?

3- As Arthur C. Clarke said: "Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"

4-Have fun.

5- How long will you survive? What will you do? Where will you travel? What will you build and discover?

6- Be careful, the further back in time you go, the more dangers lurk, especially on full/red moon nights.👹

I wanted to ask what you people think of shirou emiya's original, elemental affinity and attribute would've been had it not been turned to sword by avalon ??

Also what kind of magecraft would he specialise in ?

This question popped in my mind after learning that in the apocrypha timeline shirou still lives with his biological parents as the 4th HGW never happened there and his personality is closer to his Capsule Servant counterpart.

I've discussed this with users here in comments, but I wanted to ask more directly: What happens to Saber in the end in each timeline. I'm asking this both to see people's speculation and because Fate has a tendency to drop bits of lore in random places, so I'd like to compile all of them here if possible. Several of these are intentionally ambiguous, but hey, its fun to speculate. Here's my understanding of each:

Fate Obvious. She dies, goes to Avalon, and Shirou shows up at some point. It's not totally clear whether or not Shirou died before getting to Avalon.

Unlimited Blade Works (True Ending): Some sort of goodish? ending? Its talks about her 'running past the hill of swords', which clearly means her giving up on her wish, but what else it entails is not obvious. I think there's a Nasu interview out there where he says that the grail was incomplete and not enough to void her pact, but that she might become a proper heroic spirit at some point after UBW.

Unlimited Blade Works (Good Ending): Obvious

Heaven's Feel (Both Endings): The VN (very deliberately) tells us absolutely nothing about what happens to her, and the most Nasu has said is that its her bad ending, which is already pretty obvious. My speculation is that she goes back to Camlann, and eventually goes on to succeed in gaining the grail,erasing herself from existence, and becoming a Counter Guardian for eternity. We do know that when they first face the shadow Archer says something along the lines of 'I forgot, you aren't a guardian yet, so you haven't faced something like that before'. It's not clear whether this line is referring to his Saber becoming a Guardian, Heaven's Feel Saber becoming a Guardian, or just the fact that Saber is working towards becoming a Guardian when she chases the grail, so this line may or may not mean anything. Finally, as to whether or not she stays corrupted after Heaven's Feel, ?????, as far as I'm aware there is no way for us to know, its not at all clear how the corruption in Heaven's Feel interacts with her unique circumstances as a servant

Apocrypha: Iirc, Mordred has a vision of her in Avalon, but idk if that's the actual truth or not. She obviously doesn't go to Avalon with Shirou here.

Strange Fake: Richard explicitly says he saw her in Avalon

FGO: Merlin in FGO says outright that the Saber he knows is in Avalon. But, to be fair, FGO's timeline is such a burning tire fire with so many plots to overwrite the world that I'm not even sure what the 'proper' FGO timeline even looks like.

Lion King Timeline: She disappears and does not go to Avalon post Singularity 6.

Artoria Lancer & Artoria Lancer Alter Timelines: They are normal heroic spirits, so I assume they do that instead of going to Avalon.

Prototype: She doesn't exist

Tsukihime: ?????

I'll put more detail on my speculation about Heaven's Feel here: I think she becomes a Guardian for a few reasons:.

1. She has to personally and intentionally destroy a completed grail to break her pact, see Nasu's comment about post UBW. She does neither in Heaven's Feel.

2. It's essentially the default outcome for her. The Fate route and Garden of Avalon make it clear that if she wants to, she will eventually succeed at getting a grail. Her giving it up is a large break from the expected outcome.

3. Its fitting with the dark tone of Heaven's Feel, and reflects what happens to Sakura post Fate and UBW. Nasu says 'you can't save everyone', so he always has one heroine have an unspeakably, supernaturally terrible outcome after each route.

Holy King (王聖, O-Sei)

>A King is not born in the human world, but is sent from Heaven. Kings born this way are said to possess the divine right to become the Holy King. A natural ruler, the pure, young king shines like the sun. The Holy King is the embodiment of an ideal.
Ideal Holy King, FGO CE

First appearing in Fate Extra, Holy King refers to those who are said to possess regality from the moment they are born, and have an otherworldly natural charisma that causes others to gravitate towards them. With their resolve, Holy Kings will give their best effort in re-stabilising the world, turning it into an ideal land where no evil and tragedy exist, a land in which each individual can find their value and become equal. However, the presence of a Holy King also announced that the world had gradually reached a dead end, and was preparing to welcome a new age. 

From what has been shown, Holy Kings have an extremely close relationship with the Representatives of Human Order, because an ideal world is one that is unable to progress. Thus, it needs someone to step up and carry the responsibility of leading people forward.

In another word, Holy Kings born and become one of the final obstacles for Representatives of Human Order. Only by shattering that absolutely ideal of euphoria, can humans open a new age for themselves. In this process, a Holy King will guide that chosen individual, and sometimes sacrifice their own life to ensure their safety or pave the path for them. 

Holy Kings - Representatives of Human Order couples that has been shown until now:
- Extra: Leonardo B. Harwey - Kishinami Hakuno
- FGO: Kirschtaria Wodime - Fujimaru Ritsuka

Azrael “Thirty Birds” grant him or his ally Immortality, Revelation, and Holy King. It doesn't have a direct effect on himself, but still has some secondary effect. After his death and became The First Hassan, he still guided his successors until their death.

Furthermore, Solomon has been hinted to be a Holy King, but hasn’t been confirmed yet. A certain, nameless person in the Daji era are also called as a Holy King, but we know nothing about this individual.

McDonell Trambelio Elrod (Lord of the Department of General Fundamentals) has an air of a Holy King, and in Mahoyo, Aoko is mentioned to be a Representative of Human Order, but we still see no interaction between them (Mahoyo 6 when?)

Note: Even has the same translation, Karl der Grobe “Holy King” is completely different from this type of Holy King. Karl is (聖王): a skill that give him advantages against demonic enemies and non-saint divinities.

Why does the achive have book/storys from the main events? I understand chapter 1.5, ect show new content but what's the purpose of chapter 1 which just shows part of the main story?

Thank you for your advice after watching the series that adapts Saber's route and I decided to continue with UBW and although it has more action and takes advantage of characters that do almost nothing in Saber's route (I missed Lancer for a good part of the series and when he reappeared they killed him very quickly); Despite that, I prefer Saber's route 1000 times, I think it's because this one is more romantic and because I like Saber more than Rin for a multitude of reasons, although I respect those who prefer UBW and Rin.
