Good
morning/evening/noon/night depending the time you may be reading
this. The purpose of my post is quite simple, I want to write a
really freaking cool argument that ranks the servants that appear in
Fate/Zero (if you haven't
seen the anime or light novel I highly suggest it is a must-see
material). I really love this anime so I think that now that I have
studied every servant and their abilities I can create a non-noob
list completely impartial to every servant. Note that if you disagree
it's
perfectly OK, I can't demand you to think the way I do. Without
further filler (of course I'll put he overview as always), I will
begin my list.
Overview
This list
consists on a ranking of the servants that appear in Fate/Zero from
weakest to the most overpowered, I will put the reasons why I ranked
them this way in every position. If you feel confused by my
explanation then go see a doctor. I placed a stat diagram which shows
the strength of parameters, it's quite easy to understand.
The stat
follow this order:

(Assassin)
Hassan-i Sabbah
I just
want to mention something and is a little fact, you see my reader,
the Assassin that appears in Fate/Zero is not one servant, but 80 of
them! Yes, you didn't misread or I misspelled, they are 80 servants.
Multiple incarnations of Assassin, despite being so many his stats
are quite mediocre and are:
-Endurance: D
-Agility: B
-Mana: E and
-Luck: B,
which
are the worst sum of stats of all classes. The Assassin class is a
special class since they cannot handle a servant properly, neither
can they fight them with overwhelming power, the only good thing the
Assassin class know is: stabbing a master from the shadows and being
very silent, they don't have any other abilities. The Assassins also
are quite fragile and very weak since Rider took 2 at the same time
with Little effort and Gilgamesh finished one with bare effort,
later in the series Rider defeats the remaining 77 Assassins with his
noble Phantasm and the fight lasted less tan a minute, sorry but even
with numerical force they just are pretty weak.
6
(Caster)
Gilles of Rais
AKA as
Bluebeard, this guy is a sadistic sociopath that likes to kill
children and believes that Saber is Joan of arc, still that's
another story
for another time…
the reason he is
not up there is quite simple, the caster class is next to the
assassin class, the weakest class in the holy grail war. They usually
tend to be the first to fall not to mention their stats are quite
mediocre with the exception of their great mana stat. The caster
class stats are:
-Endurance: E
-Agility: C
-Mana: A and
-Luck: B,
which aren't too
favorable against a melee based opponent like Lancer or Berserker.
Now with the actual feats he made, he really couldn't fight in a
straight fight against any other servant and required a good amount
of prep time just to be in the same grounds with Saber. The prep time
he needs to be effective is his greatest weakness since he needs to:
gather hosts for his demons, summon the demons, supply himself with
mana, plan a way to flee in case he gets screwed ,etc… his greatest
weapon with his noble phantasm Cthulhu (which is basically he
summoning a giant octopus) was quite fearsome since the intervention
o f 3 servants was needed to stop him. The Cthulhu form enables him
to regenerate wounds at incredible speeds, but if destroyed with a
single hit everything is doomed, and actually that happened when
Gilles met Excalibur… sorry Bluebeard, you ain't
going higher
5
(Lancer)
Diarmuid Ua
Duibhne
This
guy is just awesome! He is a noble knight, a ladies-man without even
trying and a force to be reckoned of. He is probably along with Saber
and Berserker the best melee class. His stats are also very good in
all aspects which are:
-Endurance: C
-Agility: A
-Mana: D and
-Luck: E.
His noble phantasm
consists in two lances, a long red lance known as Gae Derg that
makes magical weapons, armor and any other magical related item
useless, the short yellow spear he wields known as Gae Buidhe has the
effect of making the wounds caused by the use of this weapon to never
heal unless the lance is broken. He is frankly one of the top dogs
classes with Archer and Saber since these 3 classes are highly
resistant or immune to magic. He is very agile and strong, a complete
master with his lances and mind playing. The only reason he is not
up there is because he doesn't
have a “if I activate this noble phantasm I automatically win”
or” I use this you're cells are gone”. Despite this, he would
murder and butcher the Caster in a spontaneous combat and Assassin.
he was a formidable opponent to Saber even reaching the point to harm
her (of course if Saber would had Avalon at the time she would had
stomped him like nothing)! Still he is one of my favorite servants
for his noble personality and heart. Still Diarmuid you ain't going
higher.
4
(Berserker)
Lancelot
Copying
what Rider said to define him I say : “To be a crazy dog, he is
really skilled”. The Berserker class just like the Assassin class
has limited supply of skills which consist in basically “get pumped
up with my mad enhancement and destroy things! Argh!” and that is
what a Berserker is, a beast which fights like a madman crushing
everything in his path with amazing speed and strength, however this
is not for free since the Berserker class is in fact the class that
drains their master's mana supply like a giant vacuum. So if you ever
have one of these they will literally eat your mana until you die( in
the first 4 holy grail wars all the masters of a Berserker died due
to the extreme fatigue of feeding their servant). The Berserker stats
are quite low when not in mad enhancement, however when they use it,
be prepared… his base stats are:
-Endurance: D
-Agility: D
-Mana: E and
-Luck: E.
Alright, that seems
a bit low if you see well, but as I said when they use mad
enhancement they rise to clouds. The Berserker that appears in
Fate/Zero is a complete badass in the full sense of the word. He
faced Gilgamesh and survived! He can take anything he grabs and turn
it into his weapon (a Rank D weapon) and can morph like Mystique. He
is very fast, agile, resistant and strong. The only thing this guy
needs to be on the top is brain and a super population destructive
weapon. When he transforms into Lancelot, he gains his “true”
weapon Arondight, a sword that could be called a “sister” of
Excalibur, but not as strong as Excalibur. His strength,speed, and by
far his coolness makes him a complete badass knight. Still my dear
friend, the black knight won't go higher
due to the fact he was defeated by a Saber without Avalon and
survived with Gilgamesh by sheer luck since Gil wasn't fighting
seriously. I highly think that if Ricardo ever watches Fate/Zero he
will like this guy as much as I like him. Still you are well ranked.
3
(Rider)
Alexander the great or Iskandar
Remember
what I said about Diarmuid being awesome? This guy is even cooler and
stronger! Not to mention he is the most charismatic character in
Fate/Zero. The Rider class is a bit hard to explain since they are
always so different in the methods or weapons they use to fight. Any
definition I could give would be too rigid, but I can say a ll Rider
servant has a hell of a noble phantasm and usually “ride”
something to attack. In the case of Iskandar, he rides a chariot
carried by divine bulls that are from his daddy Zeus. The rider class
stats are:
-Endurance: D
-Agility: B
-Mana: C and
-Luck: E
He is a demigod and
thus is stronger than a mere mortal. The bulls that carry his chariot
can fly, allowing him to reach incredible distances quickly. He can
attack as a melee and as a ranged warrior since he can throw up
lightnings (remember who his daddy is). He is a tall muscular man of
great force, but his true power lies in his charisma and personality
which have earned him the tittled of one of the most popular servants
(he is my third favorite servant, and this is just coincidence).
Despite Rider's skills are great, his noble phantasm is something may
cause you to pee yourself. His noble phantasm Ionian Hetairo (march
of the King) creates a reality marble (basically a place in your mind
outside reality) which brings ALL HIS ARMY! Seriously, his army is
fearsome and BIG, more than a million brave soldiers butchering you!
His noble phantasm is so powerful that with Gilgamesh's Gate of
Babylon they are considered EX noble phantasms or so powerful that
they are in a league of their own. Despite that even Ionian Hetairo
is very powerful, it was unable to defeat Gilgamesh (sad moment for
me when he died ).
Still, Rider you are one of he top dogs here and just for a funny
fact the top 3 is made only by kings XD. Still this guy is just
freaking awesome, but being the King of all conquerors won't make you
get higher. If you wanna see his broken noble phantasm here is a link
to it:

(Saber)
Arturia Pendragon or King Arthur
I will
not lie here. She is my favorite servant and the one i really cheer
up since she is so calm, cute and very kindhearted, but at the same
time reserved. She is called in many times to be the “best class”
since the Saber class which are basically knights that wield swords
have base stats of:
-Endurance: B
-Agility: B
-Mana: C and
-Luck: D,
which
by the sum of stats are the highest of all classes. She is very fast
and strong. Her ability of invisible air makes her sword invisible to
the foes' eye. She has a special ability that was granted by the lady
in the lake and consists in the fact she cannot sink and can walk in
the water like I am Weasel. She is extremely good in melee fights
like Lancer and Berserker, even reaching the point of being the
pinnacle of melee skills. She has a natural skill which allows her to
heal like Wolverine as time passes, but one of the things that makes
her so feared among other servants is her divine sword Excalibur
which is an A+++ noble phantasm. The ability of Excalibur allows her
to send burst stream of light that destroys anything it comes in
contact with. It is so powerful it defeated a giant octopus with a
single hit and destroyed even the holy grail container. Her true
brokenness comes when the sheath of Excalibur, Avalon, comes to play.
With Avalon, any injury Saber receives is automatically repaired and
projectiles are canceled. Which, if you have half a brain, know that
you are pretty much screwed with this. If she has Avalon, she can
fight eternally without fatigue and her mana is also replenished,
which means Excaliblasts all day. Despite being my dear favorite
servant and being plain broken, she is not number one. Sorry Arturia,
even being the King of England won't take down the King of heroes…
if you wanna see how broken Excalibur really is take a look at this:
1
(Archer)
Gilgamesh
Despite
Danny dislikes him, he is the most broken servant ever! His base
stats aren't really that important for him, but I will put them and
they are:
-Endurance: C
-Agility: C,
-Mana: E and
-Luck: E
The thing that makes
Gilgamesh so damn broken is that he is “ the King to whom all
treasures were granted”. This means he has more tan 1000 weapons,
wine from the best quality, a flying machine (don't know how he got
it), paints, sculptures and even an eternal youth elixir. There vast
fortune is stored in a dimensional gate known as Gates of Babylon.
Gilgamesh can access them at anytime and everyplace he wants to, but
you may ask this: “OK he has many stuff, but how is he the
strongest?” Well, the question is answered with the fact that he
can summon this vast number of weapons of all type at any moment and
span your opponent to death summoning blades, spears, scythes, and
even chains. This technique is extremely effective since in Fate/Stay
Night, he defeated Lancer in less than 12 seconds and took down
Heracles 12 lives without a scratch. He defeated Rier and his vast
army with his single and most powerful weapon known as Ea. Ea is the
strongest weapon to date in the Fate franchise since it is the only
“anti-world weapon” that annihilates anything. It is so powerful
that Gilgamesh only uses it against worthy opponents like Rider or
Saber. He has a chain named after his best friend called Enkidu which
is an “anti-god weapon” that binds gods and demons to it, leaving
them powerless. Even the creator of the franchise Kinoko Nasu has
stated that if Gilgamesh would fight seriously he could easily defeat
the other six servants in a day. The only flaw he has is his extreme
overconfidence and arrogance since he usually doesn't go seriously
against his foes or even considering them foes. He is definitely the
ultimate servant.
Final
words.
If you read to this point
I'm quite amazed. Nah, just joking. Still it was very fun to do this
and even more for you to comment on this. If you disagree, I would
like to see your opinions so that I can learn since I don't think I
know it all. Still, I hope you can comment on this and watch
Fate/Zero. Without further ado have a nice morning/noon/night my
readers.
