Even if you use Heracles in this event, it's a very risky choice since using Berserkers against Berserkers is usually not recommended. Stick with Ushiwakamaru, buffed to all hell.

And about those hands...instead of directly using Iskandar to clean them at your earliest convenience (three turns after the battle starts), don't use his NP yet and just clear the hands one-by-one the hard way. In fact, that's how I do things; use whatever supports and other Servants I have to ravage Ibaraki, then starts worrying about killing the 3-turn hands after its NP got full. Luckily, my Mystic Code can shuffle my cards, so getting a Brave Chain with my Medb or Marie to kill one hand is almost a trivial matter. I do this because getting attacked by Ibaraki two times is still better than being attacked by Ibaraki three times when whatever you're planning falls apart. It will be great if your Iskandar can clean those hands, then your Ushi go and finish the job...but what will happen if that plan fails?

At turn 4, which is when Ibaraki will unleash her NP, then I look at my options; if none of my Servants can unleash their NP to Ibaraki, I'll just pray that I equipped the default Mystic Code.
