@Raijinslayer well, i gave her a second phantasm because of the home field advantage, she only had one originally (her sword). but seeing what everyone else has makes me realize that she's kinda under powered unless i make her transformation and mad enhancement REALLY buff her.

@mcpop9

I also notice you have a lack of personal skills for her, as she only has her class skill, ME. If you need help finding some, you should go here In fact, her secondary phantasm seems more like a skill the more I look at it, though that could be just me.

Fate/Eclipse

@Raijinslayerfunnilly enough, looking at Tomoe vs most other servants feels a bit weak when you stack noble phantasms against one another. I'm thinking her madness is a rather large buff due to home field advantage and the fact her abilities are so small in comparison to everyone else. She is going to lose vs most people now that i think about it. If i can't add a few buffs with consent, she's going to be the most reserved beserker that we've seen.

As for tricking her into killing her master, that's a long shot if at all possible without the most blatantly op mind control. She may turn crazy, but her honor and loyalty never waver.

And on the topic of the previously mentioned buffs, anyone mind if i add a few things to her sheet? i'm feeling horribly outclassed...

@mcpop9

I don't think you can get much in the terms of state boosts as far as using Homefield advantage, but more phantasms should be good, though Im neither a Gm nor an expert on the Nasuverse rules.

Fate/Eclipse

@mcpop9 Who do you think would win in a fight, your berserker or my beast. I'm not to sure, since it really depends on how strong she get's with her Madness Enchantment, as well as how reckless she gets. Nidhogg, no matter what, is patient in all things except food. Being trapped for a majority of your life, plotting such bloody revenge, will do that for you. He's a psychopath, but he's a smart psychopath and will make sure to do his best to survive any battle he's in, cause the war isn't his number 1 priority.

I think Nidhogg's disinterest in the grail gives him an edge over other servant's in survivability as it makes it so that he doesn't care if he wins or loses a battle, as long as he survives it. Unless you piss him off, then he'll do his utmost to torture, kill, then eat you.

Even in canon, though those Masters who try it tend to have hax magics or special abilities that let them survive more than five seconds.

@Flamelord

Charles was originally going to be something like that, but then I found out what a special Case Medea's master was.

Fate/Eclipse

<Snipped quote by Raijinslayer>

No master can beat a servant? That's quite untrue. The priest can flat out 1 vs 1 most servants in this RP under special circumstances.

@Sublimation

I said no Magus, priest is different because he's an OP bastard. I don't like what he's up to one bit. Stinks too much of some sort of Kotomine Kirei-esque type business.

Edit: @PaulHaynek, What do you think should be the limit to the size of Nidhogg's dragon form?

Fate/Eclipse

<Snipped quote by Raijinslayer>

Well Cage and Tomoe would double team an opponent if circumstances are right.

@PaulHaynek

If they double team Nidhogg, he will go straight for the weak human, as no magus is a match for a servant, especially an untrained one, or he would try and use Tomoe's madness against her and make her A) Kill Cage or B)Kill cage indirectly by burning through all of his Prana. berserkers are difficult servants to provide for, and since Neither of them are going to take the Medea route that Nidhogg will be taking, I weep for poor Cage.

I personally would like to see a fight between Lancer and Beast, Saber and Archer, Beast and Saber, Caster and Beast(talking about it got me pumped). As for team up's, I think Saber and Archer would make a good team, maybe Saber and Berserker, and possible Berserker and Beast, even though that would be Impossible to put into effect, ever. Thomas has a strong servant, true, but almost nobody will form an alliance with him because of how much of a fucked up nut Nidhogg is. Only one I can see doing that would be Jacob and Assassin, and that would only be for them to kill Thomas and take Beast out of the game before he kills more innocents.

Fate/Eclipse

<Snipped quote by Raijinslayer>

Yes if he is a dragon then he is a phantasmal beasts, and phantasmal beasts have prana burst as inherent abilities. Divine beasts are the same in essence, with just a few different nuances.

It does give him a significant power boost in the form of phantasmal pedigree and circuitry, but of course if he was a demon he might have a reality marble.

In the end, even Nidhogg is not a threat to our resident priest so its all good for me.

@Sublimation

Maybe in a different RP, as a Reality Marble that brings every one to his own version of Nifilheim would be awesome, but I think Nidhogg is could as he is.

Question: Which Servants would you love to see fight each other and who would you like to see team up?

Fate/Eclipse

Ah things I would like to point out. Noble phantasms do consume mana. Nidhogg using one of such power and scale WILL drain his reserves. If he was a phantasmal species he would have EX ranked mana to balance this out, but I'm not sure we can classify Nidhogg as one. Medusa is classified as a demon, and so would Nidhogg considering how similar they are. The 666 Beast is also classified as a demon. Unfortunately, demons outside of True Demons lack the same stat capacity as phantasmal species do. However, Raijin has given Nidhogg prana burst(?) which is unique to phantasmal beasts, so I am thinking he has Nidhogg pinned as a phantasmal beast(???).

Also, being summoned in the Holy Grail War does limit heroes in stats. There is a limit to what the grail can summon, hence why Heracles doesnt move mountains and gouge out chasms with each and every attack. Hence why Karna doesn't punch people with enough force to "shake the entire universe"(Yes, this is what happened in the Mahabarata).

@Sublimation

Prana burst was suggested to me by someone else in the RP I originally made him for, on account of him being a dragon, and I think that he would technically count as a Divine Beast, plausibly, but he does have a down-grade, His more powerful curses will not be used very often, if at all, and it's why Nidhogg is best with a master that doesn't care for his eating of regular people. The amount of Prana that Thomas would have to give Beast in order to sustain his abilities would be quite a bit other wise, but as is, Nidhogg fuels the roots with those he kills. An that will be his main way of fighting, besides his claws and use of prana burst.

Fate/Eclipse

Christ, Nidhogg really is powerful.

@hatakekuro

He's the Devourer of the Damned and the forebringer of the motha-fucking norse apocalypse, you better believe I made him a powerful son of a bitch. Another thing that's funny is that Caster and Beast are complete opposites in every sense of the word, and if Caster tries to reign in Nidhogg, he's going to be on Nidhogg's shit list. You really don't want to be on the list, nothing good will come of it.

Fate/Eclipse

<Snipped quote by Raijinslayer>
I'm actually gonna say Huangdi matches Nidhogg here and probably beats him if the fight is in Huangdi's territory. I don't know what I'm going for in terms of personality restriction ( the guy is a benevolent ruler type), but it seems like Huangdi is medea tier which is really really good as a mage. His Gaia connection let's him spam phantasmal beasts like a dragon as much as he wants of course with the problem of him only being able to have one phantasmal beast.

On a side note, Eastern Dragons are capable of destroying the entire world in a rampage, but thankfully the grail can't summon them.

@Nisemono

I see, but if Hugandi get's hit by Nidhogg's Nifilhem connection curse, he's done for, as it grows in strength the more prana the afflicted uses, and Caster's use a shit-ton.

Also, did you have a similar reaction to Twilight and Hatake when you read Nidhogg's summoning?
