I'll just let Ishtar handle it. What's the worst that could happen?

Don't you think you should put more thought into your battleplan?!


Ereshkigal misunderstands Ishtar’s intent, forces her to strip to pass the gates of the underworld and then murders her?

Finally reached a master level where I can do 40AP quests, even if they're a bit of a pain without any good damage dealers of my own (though I have a number of strong people on my friend list already). Gotta find myself a good AoE NP and get the 4* +NP charge craft essence.

The servants I miss most from my JP account are Quetzalcoatl and Gilgamesh.

I'd be happy with 25% on his charisma. Then waver + doublemerlin could get a servant to full np out of the gate

You know, I just realized something. I'm not sure how I feel knowing that even if we did get a sane Heracles in the game, due to him being the strongest, he would immediately job due to the Worf effect of showing that some other guy is a Big Deal.

In principle yes, but like most pro wrestlers Hercules is disqualified because some bullshit about being born after Tesla.

I think only The Undertaker and Andre the Giant are officially in the Throne of Heroes.

This is why Game Overs are useful in Visual Novels, because Herc kills you in quite a few of them to show he ain’t Worf.

See that's why when I see people complaining about how Shirou has "plot armor" in adaptations make me smile because I think back to the 30+ times in FSN where you can see Shirou die horribly.

If anything, sometimes you die for really silly reasons in the VN.

A reminder that the very first two dead ends are from picking the incredibly sane choices "Get the gently caress out of this lunatic asylum of a mage contest" and "DIDN'T charge the giant invulnerable monster holding a rock axe/sword thing with your squishy human body."

Some absurdly dumb choices that lead to bad/dead ends aside, Shirou only survives the war due to possessing zero survival instincts and generally doing the exact opposite of what sanity would suggest.

Isn't every heroic spirit automatically nerfed by virtue of Gudako being a scrub-tier mage?
Sure, they're the world's greatest master, but their actual mana/power level is somewhere around "the farmer from Dragonball Z."
It's why Zerker Heracles isn't benefitting from the full effect of his 12 Labors and whatnot.

I think it's also the lore reason why skills have cooldowns. Basically the Servants can't use those skills 24/7 like they can normally because she can't handle the drain.

Being a great master is supposed to be Gudako's only redeeming feature. She can't cast a single spell outside of that (except by using magic clothing that does it for her), but it's specifically said somewhere or other that the quality, duration, and number of her contracts are unsurpassed.

As far as how the actual servant parameters stack up, we have a point of reference in the FSN servants. Using Saber as an example as she has the most data points, Gudako is a better master than Kiritsugu (by virtue of the luck stat alone), way better than Shirou, and almost as good as Tohsaka, who's supposed to actually be a genius level thoroughbred mage with god-tier stats for her age.

As for why we don't get Nine Lives and such, it's a game. If you read the character materials there are a lot of servants who have NPs and skills that are described but not utilized in the game.
