 * Hector never known to be a Lancer

Sigh, again with your headcanon; Hector is known using a lance in one of his fight. He himself known as another renowned warriors aside of Achilles during their era as he adept enough with various weapon, this including spear. This part it is you not knowing the source.

Its kinda hilarious saying it while also said Illiad while Hector do have a moment of using spear in Illiad. LOL.

And no, as I already said, Excalibur already goes through various myth over its original. Then again, still not making Excalibur defying the prototype as both weapons are A-rank by nature. Your argument is irrelevant, once again.

As much you boasts it, Paladins themselves only gave inspiration to band of knights theme of stories. When it comes to mythical influence and expansion as lore material, KOTR definitely stronger.

This is why Paladins on later installment tried taking mythical route as well, adding character that not exist in real life like Astolfo, who is a Britishman, to compete with KOTR. While KOTR got characters like Lancelot as the stories fame reaching France.

To make things clear, all you did is throwing rant while others tried to explain it to you; to begin with we're just explaining it, not denying your idea because you thought so.

You yourself is incapable of explaining how a sword with feat of sharpness and durability deserves an EX while Nasuverse already made it clear that EX weapons are on level of otherwordly weapon, even the owners are not usual knights you can find on usual heroic stories.

Excalibur in its original lore promising glory to its owner and rights for throne at the end of the world. Now how this eternally sharp sword can compete with it?

Looking from other perspective, I think the reason Nasu connected it with Hector is so Durandal can have basis to have higher rank than B. Frankly speaking, an eternally sharp sword is not so special compare to A-rank weapons that, on their original lore, often capable of unleashing greater destruction; in reality, Caladbolg and Gram are far more cruel than Durandal. It wasn't just an eternally sharp sword, it was the sharpest sword in existance, a sword that defied conception, to put it simply it was so sharp anything in its wake would be split in two. As the Sharpest sword in existance the only thing it wont be able to cut through is a divine construct or EX rank NP. In other words if nothing in the material world can pose resistance to stop it, so if Durandal was to slash some air as an example it would tear the air with a pure distortion that would travel until it cut strait through the atmosphere. Or if it was slammed into the ground it would create a clean fissure that would travel around the world, until it met up with itself.

I am not trying to overplay the headcannon here I am just saying that Nasu screwed with the original lore around the weapon heavily which pissed me off, since ye its not a weapon of promised victory but then again nasu bent that part too since Exc alibur's original power was to be a sword that could kill anything dead or alive but anyway.

The point that I have been trying to make is A, Durandal in its original context performed feats that outclassed Excalibur. (And Understand I am using the original legend not the one Nasu bent.) B, Roland although not as famous as Arthur did acomplish more things in his real life than the real life counterpart of King Arthur, so less legendary weight but more physical weight all the same.

Finally tying it to Hector makes no sense, since Hector wasn't known for being a Lancer he was known for being a rider, an archer and many things but not a Lancer so Nasu taking a very obscure concept tying it to a servant and making that servant's weapon that he didn't even have a name for in its existance somehow tie to a Paladin that did a ton more things than the latter did and because of his stupid prototype system that Paladin and all his feats has to be shafted because he make him related to some bastard from Troy that got killed off before he could be rememberable. Its laughable from any standpoint.

Finally you need to stop saying that Paladins adopted the Mythical standpoint after KOTR as that was established before the KOTR existed, Astolfo was a real where the fuck you coming with this?

Clearly you don't know your history so I cannot take you seriously in any way, read up a bit then come chat to me when your mind is clouded by the altered mythos of Nasuverse k.
