Quote:Y'know, now that you mention it, yeah. Haven't thought of that. They're the same rank, so it should work.
just realized, but... as described, the Shattering of Dreams should be able to destroy the God Hand. Strip away all the remaining extra lives, since they're being held in potentia by a Noble Phantasm. Obviously it wouldn't be gone permanently, but it would have to regenerate from scratch - meaning that, during that period, Berserker would only need to be defeated once.
I was actually considering something along the line of, oh ...
"Damnit ... I lose ... more hearts that way," he choked out, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth as he hung, impaled through the heart, on the Gungnir in his opponent's outstretched hand.
"Pfeh. How disgraceful," the golden armored man spat, attention already changing to the running battle beyond. "Any last words, mongrel peasant?"
The thrust came unexpectedly, swiftly, and the King of Heroes had no time to do as much as flinch aside ...
Nor did he need to. The red, twin pronged lance went right over his shoulder, where it discharged its stored energies in a corona of flashing light.
A moment later, the silver haired Lancer was thrown aside, even as Gilgamesh's eyes narrowed in renewed focus.
"You _dare_?!" Two pairs of crimson eyes narrowed as they glared. Then, Gilgamesh smirked. "I've underestimated you, it seems. You do not need your heart to live? Interesting. You're still nothing but a peasant, thought perhaps one that would provide some entertainment ... as I see just how many body-parts you can do without and still function!"
There was a pause, the sounds of battle coming from off in the distance being the only interruptions to the tableau ... and a concerned look started to form on the golden armored man's face.
"Oh? Is something supposed to happen here?" The Lancer used his weapon to prop himself back upright, even as the gruesome wound started to close. "Something wrong? Something missing?"
"What ... did you _do_?!"
"You wanted final words, Gilligan. Here you go," with a burst of mana, the wound closed entirely. "I am the lock. I am the key. The Gates are closed. Don't fuck with me!"
Is Gil powerful? Undoubtedly. But he's also as close to a one-trick-pony Servant as there is.
Anyway, we can use this if we don't figure out a way for Caster and Co. to take care of the golden bugger.
Quote:No, I wouldn't think it would affect that. The Mad Enhancement is a Class Attribute - to disrupt that, you'd have to mess with the whole Being of Servant Berserker, and the Heaven's Feel as a result.
Another Berserker-connected thought... wouldn't the Mad Enhancement be the same sort of thing?
Quote:Quite. I was considering this for 'War Journal' since Shirou got most of his crack marksmanship not just through practice, but through meditating with those guns and slowly absorbing the psychic impressions Kiritsugu had left on them. Then I figured, nah, he was badass enough as it was.
*blinkblink* In other words... bullet time for the win!
