Skill.

Or innate abilities, if you put it in a different way.

It's the same as how Archer could hold off Lancer despite being significantly slower than him, because his "Mind's Eye" meant that he's always calm and analytical in battle to overcome differences in physical ability with tactics.

Saber has her "Battle Instincts" and natural skill as a knight that allows her to take advantage of her advantages and hold off Berserker despite being weaker in everything.

The real best example is actually Assassin/Sasaki. Despite being much weaker in strength compared to every other Servant without even a legendary weapon... he runs round every other Servant in FSN by pure skill in swordsmanship.

Invisible Air is 'C Rank.' Ever wondered why Heracles was never even injured even though Saber did hit him several times with Invisible Air in FSN? The wind actually reduces the destructive power of Excalibur.

Assume he has one NP that can kill Heracles one time. Or seven times, even.

Heracles builds resistance to anything that had killed him before... even if it's used more potently the 2nd time.

How does Zero Berserker kill him the remaining other times without relying on GoB/UBW NPs?
