User blog:Hitsuji Mamoru/Class Qualification Ranking - "the Archer class really is made up of archers" theorem

"The Archer Class really is made up of archers"

A popular meme in the Fate franchise that I'm not going to explain. If you are here, you know why. That statement got us a laugh or a sigh at some point, but this unexpected sarcasm raise the question "is it true?". Actually, I wonder if "the --- class really is made up of " holds up for EVERY class, both as a fact and a sarcasm.

Let's find out!

Before starting this whole thing, I want to address the ranking system I'm going to use here. The Class system uses names that make English speakers laugh (Sabers aren't people, Lancers aren't spearmen etc.), and use rules that don't represent the role directly (Archers have powerful Noble Phantasms, Riders have a lot of Noble Phantasms etc.). Because thost factors make it impossible to answer with Yes or No, each Servant will be ranked as such :

E for when they don't qualify at all

D for when the Class is mostly suited for, but explanations are still needed

C for when they fit in, but their abilities aren't entirely geared towards that Class

B for when they qualify for the Class, no questions asked

A for Servants that embody the Class perfectly (when you look at them, you can almost see the Card art)

EX for the more complex situations

Modifiers will also be used if there are noteworthy elements about that Servant. I will be taking the "real life" exploits of the Heroic Spirit in consideration, and that can rank them up or down. It's also important to note that I won't cover Extra Classes.

For now, enjoy the show everybody !

Saber= ''Knight of the Sword. The compatible Heroic Spirit naturally needs to possess legends as a knight of sword, as well as the highest levels of attributes in all but MGI.. Compatible Heroic Spirits usually excel in delivering powerful burst attacks.''

According to that small description, I will rank the Sabers based of these three two facts: they have a sword and said sword is relevant and eventually fire magic beams. . And, let's not play dumb, when I say "sword" I mean any bladed melee weapon with a blade longer than its hilt...

Archer= TEXT HERE Lancer= TEXT HERE Rider= TEXT HERE Caster= TEXT HERE Assassin= TEXT HERE

Berserker= TEXT HERE
