Class: Ruler (SR)

True Name: Hachiko

QAABB deck: 4 hits Quick, 2 hits Arts, 2 hits Buster, 5 hits Extra

"Are you my new Master? Arf!"

This little one has no use for some magecraft such as the Grail. As long as he is needed, he will serve. And as the Grail beckons for an intermediary, the Faithful Dog heeds. Through anecdotes of loyalty, this Akita Dog was engraved in the Throne of Heroes, waiting for a time of need when he is returned to the mortal coil.

You'd think being an animal in a space displaced from history would be lonely, but it seems Hachiko made friends with a certain cosmonaut?

Skills (Passive)

Magic Resistance (Fur) B: Increases own debuff resistance by 15%. A mundane coat of fur, enhanced by the Ruler Class vessel. Being a fur, it can't do much naturally. It does provide reasonable insulation against elemental thaumaturgy, however.

Territory Creation A: Increases own Arts performance by 10%. Being a dog, this comes naturally to Hachiko. Some might find it unpleasant, but in a Holy Grail War, establishing dominance can be crucial.

Skills (Active)

True Name Discernment (Odor) A: Reduces one enemy servant's NP damage by 30%-50% for 1 turn. Removes their Evasion and Invincibility buffs. (CD 8-6 turns). A skill any competent dog should have. Even though Hachiko is not a hunting dog, the Ruler Class amplified what should've been a mediocre Presence Detection skill and made it possible to recognize True Names from odors.

Innocent Monster (Favor) A+: Gains 5-10 critical stars every turn for 3 turns. Reduces one enemy's attack by 10%-30% for 3 turn. (CD 7-5 turns). In life, Hachiko behaved not unlike any other stray dogs around Shibuya Station. It was a certain national newspaper article that created his well known reputation.

Weak Constitution B: Reduce one enemy's Buster, Arts, and Quick performance by 10%-30% for 3 turns. Deals 1000 damage to self ''[Demerit]. Reduces own NP gauge by 20% [Demerit]. ''(CD 7-5 turns). It is known that Hachiko died from cancer and heartworm infection. Though he no longer has them as a servant, his legend caused him to exhibit its symptoms every once in a while.

Anti-Army Noble Phantasm Rank B (Arts)

Faithful Dog: Steadfast Loyalty of the Eighth Born

Reduces party's skill cooldown by 1.

Reduces party's damage taken by 500-1000 (NP level) for 3 attacks, 5 turns.

Recovers party's HP by 1000-2000 (Overcharge).

The Faithful Dog Hachiko shall not falter until he sees his Master safely home. Lowering skill cooldown might incite hostility from a certain fox, but Hachiko is not afraid to compete for the Master's love.
