[FGO] The Eric Bloodaxe Experience

Every Master should try it at least once.

[@irememberlarry]

Just remember, the only reason he's with us is because his wife said he could go out and play.

[@AbdulAhad0128]

If fgo ever starts to redesign servant kits, Eric should definitely be one of the characters who's kit they should redesign

[@BeowulfWarlord]

Indeed, also animation update.

[@SuneDunes]

Guts is just *waiting* there to be buffed

[@mythicalskeleton1546]

@@SuneDunes devs seem to love buffing the guts skills because the cooldown is too high so they add effects like crit damage, stars, res down or other things for example before gareth was the lowest rank battle continuation and since gareth will gain a buff to the guts it is likely that bloodaxe may

[@SuneDunes]

@@mythicalskeleton1546 So long as they even remember he's *in the game* first...

[@orionperez4985]

I really enjoy using Eric actually! His fast np, np attack up and the fact a lot of people don't really use him are the catalysts on why I'm actually grailing him on my main account. I really hope he gets some kind of power up in 2024 or something because I really wanna see him shine or just be known as something more than a derided unit

[@BeowulfWarlord]

Maybe some animation update.

[@SuneDunes]

His Guts is a prime candidate for an upgrade in particular (plus a much-needed model/animation update!)

[@ilpommy6677]

The only way to make axe boy relevant migth be to follow the Nobukatsu formula and add his wife as a dedicated support to him, maybe guts stacking, passive stars/np charge or a buff that activates when he takes damage, that would work wonders whit various guts stacks

[@nicholasfallbrook9810]

Honestly I wish they'd do that more often. 1* or 2* supports who massively amplify a specific niche of Servant would be great. It would also help make up for the infuriating lack of new low rarity/Friend Point Servants DW has given these past couple years (at least in JP). For example a Round Table Servant who boosts all his fellow Arthurian knights, perhaps Gaheris or Kay. Or a Hassan Servant that amplifies their fellow Old Men of the Mountain (God/Allah knows some of them really need the help). Or heck even one that buffs all Judeo-Christian Saints. Edit: Fuck it, make a Servant dedicated to helping "Sailor" or "Seafarer" Servants like Drake, Teach, and Jason

[@SuneDunes]

That would really be something! Though…I can’t see DW adding her and making her a *lower* rarity than poor Eric…

[@josephcruz5902]

Next break down be Tawara Touta

[@SuneDunes]

Hmmm...I might well do that soon

[@mythicalskeleton1546]

Rare hearing about him because there are better wave clears

[@SuneDunes]

It's true that the likes of Spartacus render him largely irrelevant in pure meta-terms But as an occasional palate-cleanser, he can be a surprisingly refreshing change!

[@samsonsanthosh]

@@SuneDunes ngl if your using the same servant over and over it does make it refreshing to see new servants and characters

[@LigraxeGabriel]

Only reason I remember he exist is his challenge quest during Gilfest. What's funny, because his wife was the most scary and memorable thing there.

[@SuneDunes]

In fairness, I believe he would say the same thing

[@samsonsanthosh]

Another great video as always

[@SuneDunes]

Thank you so much!

[@rokkabrave]

I KNEW IT! IT WAS OUR HOMI ERIC

[@SuneDunes]

THE ABSOLUTE LEGEND HIMSELF

[@THEBULLETPROOFKINGDOM]

HP issues for Bloodaxe? Two words, *Ideal King* That CE, especially when using multiple copies in the back line, wil extend his HP for longer battle. Just keep in mind if you dare using *Koyanskaya of Light* and her targetable 50% battery, that has a nasty side effect of depleting 1K per member. Better bring a Merlin and other supports to armor-up this shirtless viking.

[@SuneDunes]

20000HP Bloodaxe incoming

[@eduardogodinez]

Eric Bloodaxe the Bloodaxe King, who wields a bloody axe called the Half-Dead Blood Axe because it's a bloody axe wielded by Eric Bloodaxe the Bloodaxe King who was named Eric Bloodaxe the Bloodaxe King because of his bloody axe, the Half-Dead Blood Axe, the signature weapon of Eric Bloodaxe the Bloodaxe King.

[@sfriedrice4445]

I think i just got a stroke reading this.

[@SuneDunes]

Hahaha! In truth, the original version for this video... ...opened very similarly 😂

[@cy.channel5519]

Bloodaxe? Who? ... Jokes aside, wonderful video once again. Seeing Bloodaxe get some much-deserved appreciation is always nice to see. Kinda sad since Bloodaxe is just fighting in a field where he's severely outmatched by better alternatives. At the very least he isn't Phantom tier when it comes to capabilities at least.

[@SuneDunes]

It is a shame! He's quite good in his own right, but with Bunyan and Spartacus around, he doesn't even stand a chance

[@rensan330]

My experience with the blood ax is that I have a friend who plays the game at the same time as me, and he always loved Eric, but I never paid any attention to him because raikou was my first ssr, but I respect him and give a little love, raising his level as I have all the account servants up.

[@SuneDunes]

I suppose when you roll such a powerful Servant early-on, poor Bloodaxe does rather fade into the background 😅

[@samsonsanthosh]

I feel like Spartacus is the best f2p berserker I mean for a free 2 play servant Eric's not bad we just got better alternatives

[@BeowulfWarlord]

Yeah, right now as a free berserker spartacus is op.

[@Jacky_boy001]

Your not wrong. Spartacus's healing and guts give him a level of survivability most zerserkers simply don't have.

[@SuneDunes]

His combination of healing, guts, and especially a *30%* NP Battery really does make him standout

[@Llucmenork]

My boy Rider of Resistance making a Kameo, nice.

[@SuneDunes]

I honestly hadn’t taken too close a look at him until recently, and I must admit - having finally got him above NP1, I was impressed!

[@Llucmenork]

@@SuneDunesAt np4, I found out that his Np damage with his own buffs was the same of Np1 Drake with her own buffs. I was also impressed.

[@dajaphrodite2781]

Can we get a Mata Hari video? We need love for her

[@BeowulfWarlord]

Yes ,indeed.

[@SuneDunes]

I think that is something that could definitely be in the works

[@REDGT10]

I have played this game for over two years and this is the first time i had seen his NP.

[@SuneDunes]

Haha very understandable! The poor man doesn't get too much attention

[@Megaman22xx]

Eric Bloodaxe?.... Wait What? I just checked my Chaldea... I have other male servants other than Hercules, Merlin, and Cu chulainn 😯

[@SuneDunes]

Male Servants are Servants too! 😭

[@hexmark21]

I actually just finished all of his current interludes and even after that I think he's underwhelming . DW really did him dirty

[@SuneDunes]

He is rather tragic - not bad by any means, but simply outclassed

[@sfriedrice4445]

This is literally the first time im seeing this guy in battle.

[@SuneDunes]

Haha I can't blame you! He's one of a pair I've never seen grailed before (along with Fergus)

[@maximilianolavenacollaud8342]

Ah yes. the most Berserker-y Berserker who dopes himself(magically) to fight without a care in the world no matter how much damage he receives. (But really. Thanks a lot for doing a video on Eric. Guy really packs quite a punch if Grailed. And his story, while short, Is still kinda interesting. Hope we would at least know what his axe does, as it's true name "Half-Dead Bloodaxe" is a fake one and we don't know it's true capabilities.)

[@SuneDunes]

He's actually one of a pair I've never seen grailed before (along with Fergus)! I really do like him, it's a shame that meta-wise he's largely sidelined due to how excellent Spartacus and Bunyan are, but playing for fun, he can definitely lead to some surprises! (And it would be great to have a Viking-related event, given it is a surprising omission so far!)

[@maximilianolavenacollaud8342]

@@SuneDunes not trying to sound egotistic or anything but I just have a Grailed Fergus and Eric(at Level 80 Though) :v They are quite useful. Fergus has a lot of survivality despite not having a Battle Continuation. And their normal buster brave chains hit like a truck. But yes... It's sad they are sidelined for relatively better options. They can still be used though. (And yes... Some events with him in them would be great. The closest thing to participation on his part was in Benienma's event where he said some lines with Tamamo Cat. That and his Exhibition Match in Battle for New York where we kinda get an impression on how Gunhild behaves while supporting Eric in Battle.)

Hmmm certainly a worthy candidate!

Now that is an interesting (and seldom heard) choice

[@aminebachir3394]

Who cares 🐒, Spartacus and Bunyan outshine him in farming and utility respectively (Bunyan can also be a trash farmer because of the quick np if you don't care about the utility )

[@SuneDunes]

H-he can be fun as an alternative! Though indeed, they are both excellent Servants

I do wish they would rework a bit faster old servants, especially poor bloodaxe, he seems like a mini hercules from a design perspective.

His model’s upper-body proportions are a tad…bizarre
