Quick Answers

What is the significance of Cú Chulainn's high ATK values?

Cú Chulainn's high ATK values reflect his role as Ulster's mightiest warrior. His equipped Noble Phantasm boosts his damage by 30%, with a 30% probability of enhancing his critical damage by 10% for three turns during normal attacks. Cú Chulainn (Alter) has a 50% increased critical attack chance and a continually charging NP gauge. His Noble Phantasm, Curruid Coinchenn, eliminates an enemy's defensive buffs and inflicts substantial damage, which escalates with NP level.

Provided by: Fandom

Who shares the exact ATK values at minimum with Cú Chulainn?

Cú Chulainn shares identical minimum ATK values with Carmilla (Rider). His minimum and maximum HP values match with Nagao Kagetora, while his minimum HP values are the same as Cú Chulainn (Prototype) and Diarmuid Ua Duibhne.

What is the Gáe Bolg: Soaring Spear that Strikes with Death?

The Gáe Bolg: Soaring Spear that Strikes with Death, wielded by Cú Chulainn, is an Anti-Unit/Anti-Army weapon that can take a target's life. Known as the kicked Bolg, it commands respect among warriors. Its unique ability is to reverse cause and effect, piercing the target's heart after the thrust, making it undodgeable. The Gáe Bolg Alternative, similar but older, comes as a pair.

Provided by: Fandom

Who shares the exact HP values at both minimum and maximum with Cú Chulainn?

The character Cú Chulainn has the same minimum and maximum HP values as Nagao Kagetora and Fujimura Taiga.

Provided by: Fandom

What is the similarity between Cú Chulainn's extra attack animation and his other Noble Phantasm?

The extra attack animation of Cú Chulainn mirrors his alternative Noble Phantasm, Gáe Bolg: Soaring Spear that Strikes with Death. Both entail a potent throw, with the Noble Phantasm executed with enough force to potentially collapse Cú Chulainn's body. Yet, he uses rune magecraft to regenerate, preventing self-harm. The Noble Phantasm can instantly kill the entire enemy camp or, if instant death is evaded, still deals substantial damage.

Biography

Unlock	Description	Translation🛈🛈|nbx= for north american localization release and |bx = for fan english translation
Default	装飾を好まず、野生のままの戦いを好む槍兵。 仕事とあらば口封じとして一般人でも殺害する 非情な人物だが、反面、仕事抜きならさっぱりした気質をしている。面倒見のよい兄貴肌。	NA TL NA Localization: With a dislike of decorations and honor, this spearman prefers to listen to his instincts. If it's a job, he won't hesitate to kill even an ordinary citizen. Though he can be merciless outside of the job, he's honorable and takes care of others. Fan Translation: A spearman who does not like ornaments and prefers to fight as his wild nature dictates. A heartless individual who would even murder commoners to silence them if that is part of his job, but on the other hand has a refreshing temperament when not on work. A helpful older brother-type of character.
Bond 1	身長／体重：185cm・72kg 出典：ケルト神話、アルスター神話 地域：アイルランド 属性：秩序・中庸　　副属性：天　　性別：男性 ルーン魔術は（面倒くさいので）封印している。	NA TL NA Localization: Height/Weight: 185cm, 72kg Source: Celtic Mythology, Ulster Cycle Region: Ireland Alignment: Lawful-Balanced Gender: Male It was too much trouble to use the Runes, so he sealed them away. Fan Translation: Height/Weight: 185cm ・ 72kg Source: Celtic Myth, Ulster Cycle Region: Ireland Alignment: Lawful ・ Balanced Attribute: Sky Gender: Male His rune magic was sealed away (for it's too tiresome).
Bond 2	『刺し穿つ死棘の槍』 ランク：Ｂ　種別：対人宝具 ゲイ・ボルク。 突けば必ず相手の心臓を貫く呪いの槍。 その正体は、槍が相手の心臓に命中したという 結果の後に槍を放つ因果逆転の一刺。 結果ありきの一撃なので回避は不可能とされる。	NA TL NA Localization: 『Gáe Bolg』 Rank: B NP Type: Anti-Personnel Barbed Spear that Pierces with Death. The cursed spear that always pierces the target's heart. The secret is that this spear is able to reverse cause and effect, so that the spear is thrust AFTER it already pierces the target's heart. Because of such, this spear is said to be impossible to dodge. Fan Translation: Barbed Spear that Pierces with Death Rank: B Type: Anti-Unit Gáe Bolg. A cursed spear that will surely pierce through the opponent's heart once thrust. Its true identity is that of a reversal of causality, in which the spear is released after the outcome of the spear hitting the heart. Since it is an attack based on the outcome, it is considered impossible to evade.
Bond 3	○戦闘続行：Ａ 往生際が悪い。瀕死の傷でも戦闘を可能とし、 決定的な致命傷を受けないかぎり生き延びる。 ○仕切り直し：Ｃ 戦闘から離脱する能力。 この二つのスキルを併せ持つため、クー・フーリンは 一騎打ちより合戦においてその真価を発揮する。本人は一騎打ち大好きなのであまり目立たない事実ではあるが。	NA TL NA Localization: Battle Continuation: A Doesn't know when to give up. He makes it possible to fight even with critical wounds, and survives unless given a fatal blow. Disengage: C The ability to escape from battle. Because of these two skills, Cú Chulainn's true value shines in group skirmishes over one-on-one duels. But he loves duels, so this fact doesn't get noticed all too much. Fan Translation: Battle Continuation: A Not knowing when to give up. Makes it possible to fight even with an injury that puts him on the verge of death, and he will survive so long as a decisively fatal wound is not received. Disengage: C The ability to break away from combat. Due to simultaneously having these two Skills, Cú Chulainn displays his real worth more in skirmishes than in one-on-one duels. But since he likes duels very much, this fact does not really stand out.
Bond 4	○ルーン：Ｂ 北欧の魔術刻印・ルーンの所持。 影の国の戦士は武芸百般、ただ槍を振るうだけの戦士は育てない――― 師匠であるスカサハはそんな方針だったのか、 クー・フーリンはルーン魔術にも精通している。 一流に近い使い手だが、本人は邪魔なのであまり 使用しない。	NA TL NA Localization: Runes: B He possesses Northern European magical crests called Runes. Warriors in the Land of Shadows excel at many arts, and no warrior is ever raised to merely thrust a spear... This is the way his mentor Scáthach thought, so Cú Chulainn is well-versed in Rune spells. He is close to being a top tier rune user but he thinks the Runes just get in the way, so he does not use them often. Fan Translation: Rune: B Possession of runes - the magic crest of Northern Europe. The warriors of the Land of Shadows must be proficient in every martial arts, a warrior that just swings a spear shall not be raised - maybe because his teacher Scáthach had such a policy, Cú Chulainn is also well versed in magic. A nearly first-rate master, but since he himself sees it as a hindrance, it is not employed much.
Bond 5	幼名はセタンタ。 クー・フーリンとは「クランの猛犬」という意味である。 これは幼い頃、クランという豪商の番犬をあやまって殺してしまったセタンタが 「この犬に子供があるのなら、自分が育て、 同じように強く忠実な番犬にする。 それまでは、この身が貴方を守り通そう」 と誓った事からきている。	NA TL NA Localization: As a child, he grew up with the name Setanta. Cú Chulainn means "the Hound of Culann." When he was young, Setanta accidentally killed the watchdog of a wealthy merchant named Culann. The name stems from the vow he made to the merchant: "If this dog has a child, I will raise it, and turn it into a faithful watchdog. Until then, I will make sure to protect you." Fan Translation: His childhood name is Sétanta. Cú Chulainn holds the meaning of "Culann's savage dog". It derives from the incident when, as a child, Setanta killed the watchdog of the wealthy merchant Culann by mistake and vowed "if this dog has a child, I'll raise it into a similarly strong, faithful watchdog. Until then, I shall devote myself to protect you".

In order for him to marry the woman he loved, he was tasked to enter a place called the Land of Shadows. Cú Chulainn overcame many obstacles to reach the Land of Shadows. There the lord of the land, the witch Scáthach, took a fancy to him. He trained under her to learn many spells and martial arts skills. Fan Translation: The matured Cú Chulainn enrolled into the "Knights of the Red Branch" that protected the king of Ulster. It was arranged so that he would proceed to a mystic region called the Land of Shadows as a condition for marrying a certain woman. Cú Chulainn overcame many obstacles and reached the Land of Shadows. Falling into the good graces of the lord of that Land - the witch Scáthach - he trained under her and mastered many magecraft and martial arts disciplines.
