Its himself with back row member; my fault, it should be "Exchanges own position" as idea of his boss battle is that: he appears in front row, but as battle goes, he keep moving to back row while still attacking someone in our party front row.

As Quick OTK with Skadi in EOR is not existed yet, I think it'll be one interesting boss battle as if player not careful enough with attack and skills, like simply wiped it all with AOE, he will most likely come with 2/3 NP gauge, two more turns before his NP, or simply triggering Guts each time you reach him. Difficult but still manageable by available Lancers IMO.

I imagined the last boss fight of DI SIN itself to have him swap using multiple classes Shadow Servants while some kind of Demon Pillar remains, aiding the Shadow Servants. LOL.

Yeah, you could say I have preference to pre-Qin figures although for "Why its Hou Yi", its more because of the fanfic structures.

When deciding for 'who to fills Archer slot', I wanted the Archer to be someone who capable to oppose both Lancer of ??? and old man Musashi (Saber of Shinjuku). So he must be a skilled Archer who related to gods while also possessing high threat potential to both faction because of IA.

With Assassin of ??? being the first character created for this fanfic, I kinda wanted someone as her mentor, so its pretty much down to, "Skilled Chinese Archer who related to Gods".

Not many choices there, LOL.
