I can't think of another place to put this, but it's a question about Archer if anybody knows.
I'm kind of unsure on the whole "Unlimited Blade Works" attack, and why it's so good. People say it can copy Noble Phantsms, so does that mean for example he can use the Gae Bolg (NP) of Lancers if he wanted to while inside of the Reality Marble? Or use Excalibur? THanks. |

I don't think that's true, actually.
Certainly he's able to recognise it, because he does so when Gil brings out his version of it in Fate. And, given that his UBW is intrisically linked to his ability to recognise things, he should be able to trace it too. He can (usually) only copy offensive weapons, yes, but I think spears are allowed as well as swords. Quote:

--- What exactly is the process of creating a Broken Phantasm? If it's just prana infusion overload, can he do the same with normal arrows or swords?

[edit] Looking at the Type moon wiki it says he can trace other weapons and armor but it would cost more prana because he has an affinity for swords. I guess that explains Rho Arias. My bad.

Well, unless they make their own Wiki or edit the current one, you can't fault people for using it as a source of information. Not everyone goes to Beat's Lair, and even fewer would scour the bottomless threads and posts looking for minute levels of information on specific things.

This just in: Beast's Lair is the law. If they say Illya lived in UBW, it means she lived. Speaking English or Japanese means nothing when it's translated. And anything on Beast's Lair is written by fans, just like the wiki, so it has no additional credibility.

The wiki is full of fanon (for instance, the idea that Shinji was ordered to rape Sakura, which is not mentioned anywhere in the game and I have never seen a primary source for), generally lacks any citations for the information presented there and often conflicts with what is known from more reliable sites (in particular, ones written by people who can actually speak Japanese) or from people who actually can read the supplimentary Japanese texts. |

Well to be honest I don't know Japanese and even less about Beast Lair so i can't really have an opinion on that...
Heh, possibly if they can comprehend it. But Shirou couldn't comprehend Ea so I'm guessing he can't comprehend whatever sword is used to open the Gates of Babylon. Which is a good thing because we don't need another ridiculously hax character.
