Completely off-topic as I don't know where I can talk about this...

We got Alexandre Dumas' Servant profile today and his skillset is pretty close to Andrersen's down to the NP effects, kinda.

He has a skill similar to Human Observation A called Era Observation A. Where Hans can read people's heart, Dumas can read the specifics of the era he is summoned in. I wonder how that would translate in gameplay. If understanding people gives them the ability to crit harder, would understanding the time period gives them the ability to... generate more stars?

He also has Innocent Monster E and a skill called Gourmand A, making him such an excellent cook even junk food will taste good when he prepares it. It's specifically used for cooking so I'm expecting either healing or HP up for 3 turns. Maybe increased healing.

For passives he has Territory Creation E and Item Construction (Revision) EX. The latter is said to allow him to buff existing items. I'm expecting something like NP generation up on top of the Debuff success rate up, because this skill is tied to one of his NPs.

His NPs are Grand Dictionnaire de Cuisine and Musketeers Masquerade. The former is what changes his Item Construction to what it is now, and it grants him the ability to turn any objects into a Noble Phantasm by rewriting its backstory. If the item is already A or higher in rank he can't do anything about that. The second NP is like Märchen meines Lebens but for a limited time. As someone on reddit put it : It gives you Dantes-tier stats and powers.

Gameplay-wise, I think the second one would be either to make. I can see it giving a massive Critical damage up, Defense up, Star gen up and NP damage up, but only for 1 turn. If they decide to go with the other one, it would probably be a 3 turns pack of buffs similar to Hans, but replacing star gen with NP gen, and no healing.

I rather like what Narita did with this character, really. He is probably a major asshole (True Neutral though. I was expecting Neutral Evil) but as a "weak" Servant, he can get the job done if the Master is a good fighter to begin with! ---now, to know WHEN he may get added lol

It's also amusing to note he has a C in Strength.

Sorry for the lenghty wall of text !
