Quick Answers

What is the significance of Medusa sharing the maximum HP with Taira no Kagekiyo?

Medusa and Taira no Kagekiyo's shared maximum HP is significant in their game roles. Medusa, with her high HP, repeatedly summons Cerberus into the battlefield. Likewise, Taira no Kagekiyo uses her high HP to inflict extra damage on Genji-trait targets and reduce their defense. Their high HP ensures they can effectively utilize their unique abilities.

Why is Medusa considered Keikenchi's favorite Servant?

Keikenchi favors Medusa as a Servant for her distinct traits. Her blunt courage and commitment to her role and contract are notable. Although she diverges from human perspectives, she can form profound bonds with her Master, unlocking significant power. However, her affection doesn't imply human kinship. Interestingly, her likability can unveil a nurturing side in her Master interactions.

How often is Medusa featured in Craft Essence for Gudaguda events?

Medusa appears in Craft Essence for Gudaguda events, specifically in 'Still a Long Way Until Mt. Fuji' and 'Heroic Spirit Costume: Medusa'. Additionally, she is a rate-up servant in the GUDAGUDA Honnouji Event Revival.

Provided by: Fandom

What contributes to Medusa's winrate in battles?

The winrate of Medusa is largely determined by her strategic use of Cerberus summons. Each time a Cerberus is defeated, she resummons another, provided she remains on the battlefield. Her Command Seal - Sakura's Wish boosts her defense, while her Monstrous Slash ability debilitates her opponents by removing their defensive buffs.

Provided by: Fandom

How does Medusa's level 100 Grail impact her abilities?

Upon reaching level 100 through the Holy Grail, Medusa's maximum attack stat and HP increase to 12,963 and 12,364 respectively. Her Noble Phantasm, 'Cybele', which petrifies opponents, is amplified. Additionally, she acquires the capability to summon Cerberus in battle and can strip defensive buffs from adversaries using her Monstrous Slash.

She may seem ruthless from her cold and distant actions, but she just thinks most things are a pain in the butt, and would rather not do anything all day. She likes alcohol and reading, and she doesn't care if people like her or not. Fan Translation: Despite being a beauty, she tends to appear to have a merciless personality because of her thorny aura and cold behavior. But in fact is simply a languorous beautiful woman who prefers to spend her time doing nothing. Loves alcohol and reading. Her behavior is severe because she is indifferent about being appreciated by others.

She went from a goddess loved by all, to a goddess who wanted to save (rule) over all. Corrupted by her growing hatred towards humans, she ended up becoming a demonic beast who devoured heroes. The name "Gorgon" was given to the goddess for what she became. Fan Translation: Among the Three Gorgon Sisters, she is the only goddess that ended up "growing". Despite also possessing the components to grow from a goddess that is merely loved by the people into a goddess that saves (rules) the people, she was tainted by hatred due to the persecution from humans and ended up becoming a hero-killing Magic Beast as a result. Gorgon is the name of a mere shadow of a former goddess that ended up growing, enlarging to the limits.
