Valles Wrote:Rider has his own battle to fight, and it's on schedule for tomorrow.Saber only has access to NPs that she had on her death"bed", as she was summoned from there, not from the Throne of Heroes. That's why she doesn't come equipped with Avalon, or Caliburn, or her spear Rhongomyniad, for example. The Knights of the Round Table weren't present when she was summoned, so she couldn't have that as a Noble Phantasm when Shirou summoned her, unless something is significantly different about her situation from canon.
Saber did read her gift - otherwise she'd never have thought to attempt to use the Round Table phantasm that I'm personally certain she's always had access to. It's just that she's... not much of a debater, so to speak.
