Just wondering. In the Fate/Hollow Ataxaria, theres the famous scene where Archer got sliced perfectly in half by Saber. When Archer started shooting at Shirou, he uses Hrunting.
1)When he shoot the last Hrunting why didn't he just shoot Saber? It's much easier to kill Saber first before dealing with Shirou. 2)If let say Saber can deflect the arrow then when Saber is at range, why didn't he use Caladbolg? Sure the Hrunting might missed but wouldn't you deal with the incoming threat first than Shirou? Using Caladbolg would surely killed Saber, just like one of the bad ending in the UBW. Archer's Clairvoyance is at rank C so he surely can see Saber moving towards him at the greatest speed.Furthermore once Saber is killed he can start shooting Hrunting, which will keep coming back at Shirou even if he put up Rho Aias. 3)Is Archer really serious on killing Shirou? Such mistake cannot be made for one who has Eye of the mind(B-rank) isn't it? Or is he testing Shirou's capability in handling this type of situation?

I'm just currious about Saber and the Excalibur. Alright, from what I've read, Excalibur is the sword we see Saber wielding throughout the series, just most of the time it's wrapped in a hyper wind vortex that glows ethereal blue? Right? So, is the sword always tangible and physically with Saber? Or does she summon it to her like she does her armor? Furthermore, what was the entire deal with her expending energy to summon the sword in the battle with Berserker, when the sword was already there in her hand? Does it have to be unsheathed of the invisible wind to charge up and attack? Or what?

She summon the Excallibur. Just like Cu Chulainn summon his Gae Bolg. Also to unleash the true Excallibur true power(a.k.a. Excali-beam) she need to remove the Invisible wind. I mean you can't really expect to use a sword to it's maximum potential if it's still in it's sheath right?

Cool deal... I've been contemplating writing an AU story focusing more on Arturia, so I was kinda wondering how all that was going to work.
So, she summons the blade to her like her armor. And it's invisible in the invisible wind barrier which is meant to hide her and her sword's identity, while also providing some other powers to the blade, but she has to drop the invisible wind in order really call on Excaliburs true potential? |

Her sword is summoned, however her armor is formed with mana. Although both consumes mana, they're different--Saber can freely change her armor to her liking if she wants, but not her sword(which is an artifact) Saber did not expend energy to 'summon' her sword against the battle--she was trying to unleash Excalibur to its full potential, in which she must first 'disband' Invisible Air as it gets in the way of Excalibur at full power. Invisible Air does not provide Excalibur with any bonus apart from making it invisible. However, Saber can purposely direct all the wind on the sword at the enemy when disbanding the enchantment like a really powerful wind which is capable of shredding Ture Assassin the way you shred papers in shredders...(you can see I'm building up stress now...) Invisible Wind is not a sheath. Last edited by iamandragon; 2008-10-09 at 09:31. |
