How Bazett's Fragarach One Shots Top Tier Servants

Fradrach is literally the "Try something," of the Fate universe.

Jiren: Could this woman be one of my people? If there was a New Fate Fighting game. I could see Bazett using Jiren’s Moveset.

[@joshcooper467]

People really forgot that Kirei had to swindle and cheapshot her. If she was in the original FSN time-line apart from Heracles and Gil, everyone else is getting put on a shirt! Fragarach has so much mystery as well considering it is a divine construct of Manannan MacLir. It's effectively a counter-super that once it lands, it insta-kills because of how it warps causality. Do keep in mind, she had ANGRA and solo'd the war in Hollow Ataraxia pretty much, even beating Saber as well by canceling Excalibur.

[@lorenbrown7100]

So what I’m hearing is Hercules even with all his nine lives dies to this well that seems like high levels of bs but it’s fate so I shouldn’t be surprised

[@joshcooper467]

@@lorenbrown7100 Fragarach can only shave off one at a time and remember Herc's God Hand permits him to only die in separate ways so after Fragarach gets used to take Herc out one singular time, they'll still need other ways to take him out. Unless Bazett uses her runes to power up her attacks to even scratch Herc or probably combines multiple Fragarach shots to make a new attack she isn't beating Herc that easy.

[@lorenbrown7100]

@@joshcooper467 that’s good to know but question could saber avoid it since fragarach is basically like gae bolg

[@motemo8413]

Gil dogwalks Bazett unless he uses Ea. which is funny considering Gil's downside is that he almost never goes all out and uses his ultimate moves. so yeah if for some reason Gil decides to use Ea against Bazett then he probably loses

[@joshcooper467]

@@lorenbrown7100 According to Hollow Ataraxia's battle hell no. Fragarach and Gae Bolg work similarly on how they twist causality, but Fragarach's effectiveness is far greater because again, it can only fully be used once the opponent's trump card (typically a Noble Phantasm or similar technique) is used. It causes that immediate effect in which Bazett would win via Fragarach.

[@griffin5322]

So in other words... 90% of characters in Fate: behold my ultimate attack quake in fear as I- Bazett: Ctrl + D

[@ryangodina3525]

More like 75 due to the high power low durability

[@ryangodina3525]

Actually spent some more time pondering this but it could be 60% or lower depending on the definition of a trump card however I don’t see it going lower than 30-40 as most of the higher powers like the types or true vampires requires a specific method to kill like decapitation or holy stuff or is a god of some kind or just don’t have a heart or core to destroy. so tldr unless it can take a tank np to the heart/core is strong enough to take the hit or has a method to ignore the ability and is not the trump card then Bazett and Fragarach just win. also outside of her np she is also a member of the Left right good night club and can also technically aquire other powers like the mystic code ruby. And hasn’t even reached the optimal useage of her Fragarach best part I can be hidden till it’s used and happens instantly. Your best case scenario against Baz is a group jumping. Like mages 1 v 10 type depending on the group in question

[@kamenridermerlin501]

A question I’ve always had is what makes Rin and Sakura so compatible at being the bodies for the gods of their servants forms?, what do they have in common with gods their paired with? Rin being for Ishtar and Ereshkigal. Sakura being for Kama, Kali and so forth. Been loving the content and grind lately btw.👍

[@joshcooper467]

If I had to guess, mostly for fanservice and re-use of noticeable faces because I doubt people would care as much if they had an original design as opposed to just being Rin but Sumerian Goddess, or Kama but Indian Goddess. Apart from that, more along the lines of a character's personality and overall place in the world because for Kama she took Dark Sakura because Parvati had Sakura's neutral personality and mostly just to annoy her, not necessarily because her options were limited so yeah, it's because it sells.

[@TheArcSet]

Probably mostly faces, but to head cannon, maybe Rin's element coverages and circuit quality make her viable for more options and Sakura was cultivated from childhood to be someone who could easily be possessed without rejection.

[@twelfthknight]

Well, from a writing perspective, they took identifiable traits in Rin and Sakura characterization to make various abstractions on for the Psuedo-Servants premised on them. Taking elements from the their mythology and seeing how they be reworked into them. The poem of Inanna's Descent has some express parallels between inanna/Ishtar and her older sister Ereshkigal, which FGO tapped into to represent the duality of Rin - her inner conflict between her sense of duty and inner desires - by literally splitting her characterization between the two characters. They did something similar with Sakura, her idealized femininity forming Parvati - who Durga and Kali are forms of - while her last-boss inner darkness manifests as Kama. Now, from an in-universe perspective, gods have to incarnate into human forms to manifest at all, and those connected to the Holy Grail are the most compatible -- which really does limit the pool somewhat.

[@JaeyXVI]

it's just fanservice

[@kamenridermerlin501]

@@twelfthknight I like that take. It’s just a question I’ve always had in my mind. We already knew what makes Shirou compatible with Murumasa and Murumasa ain’t even a god. Both had similar ways of how they approached their goals in life, similar interests and views in certain topics. I could understand their dynamic and what made them compatible. I was just wondering how it worked for Sakura and Rin, lore and character wise. Other then fan services.

Great video! Helped answer a lot of questions of my own for your last vid.

[@Kero___]

Can you make a video explaining more about Grand Servants? Cuz it's really confusing to me, some people say Solomon wasn't Really a Grand, and others say Merlin is now a Grand, and Gilgamesh is a candidate, there's people who say Hercules is gonna be the Grand Saber cuz of his sword, a lot of different opinions without any evidence or proof.

[@joshcooper467]

Solomon is the definitive Grand Caster because of his clairvoyance. Merlin is considered a Grand Caster candidate along with Gilgamesh because they have clairvoyance as a result. Hercules as a Saber provided he uses Marmyadose is possible considering the sword is stated to be leagues above Excalibur which is already one of the verse's top weapons but IMO Grand Saber could be either the true Sasaki Kojiro or Musashi Miyamoto considering they are regarded as being the best swordsmen in the world. I mean even Grand Assassin changed roles as Hassan is no longer the Grand Assassin and it's now Tezcatlipoca, a Mesoamerican Chief Deity originally intended to be Grand Berserker so there's a lot to unpack.

[@Kero___]

@@joshcooper467 so anyone with clairvoyance can be considered as Caster candidate? Merlin hasn't really shown any feat of great abilities or power, same with Solomon, the only thing he did was canceling Goetia's Phantasm, so i really don't understand what really makes someone Grand and how is the process

[@luissoto8814]

​@@Kero___From my understanding, not everyone with high clairvoyance can be a grand caster, but anyone who has great skill in magecraft with enough time will develop high clairvoyance. We saw little about Salomon's abilities in practice but we can assume that he can do almost everything that Goetia achieved. Even if he cannot do it, we can understand that he is a servant of abnormal strength by knowing that he ended a holy grail war by himself summoned as a normal servant. We must remember that in the lore we are told that generally the assassin class and the Caster class are the weakest in general. For Merlin, apart from being a master of the sword, keeping Tiamat's true body asleep and at the same time fighting with other servants, being able to eject himself in the invocation of Gilgamesh, I can't think of many things. The requirements to be a grand servant are vague on purpose but in general it can be said that each grand servant could be said to be the best or at least within the top 5 of the best fighters of their class during their life period, they are the epitome that a given era can offer.

Okay, but what if your "Trump card" is an ability that reflects the next attack back into the user or just two portals that ends up being connected (one in front of the attack and one behind Bazett) or you're just nice with the hands?

[@TsiahIV]

that's not a trump card

Reflect + Reflect does nothing...

[@deonjoyner960]

@@infinitykiyen6270 but hers is a sword that she launches to counter your Trump card. If she launched it assuming your skill is offensive....

[@infinitykiyen6270]

@@deonjoyner960 The one who had to reflect will need to wait for Bazett to do remotely anything too. For example Angry Manyu's Noble Phatasm temporary transform him and reflect any damage he takes in that form. The funny thing is... He did nothing if he takes no damage... Bazet can't counter damage 0 attack. This is JUST one example. The other example is Sherlock Holmes. His ULTIMATE skill is literally detective works... Bazet doesn't even need to pull any counter she can just YEET him out of the window... Even if she wanted to? Sherlock does NOT have any combat ultimate skills. Its not his job. So the counter would also be damage 0. Another example this time is protection type like Jeanne or Mash. There's girls also don't deal any damage. There was nothing to counter because its defensive move. Now for the BUFFING type ultimate? Something like Super Orion or Van Gogh? Well she could counter "once" but every single normal attack from them are a calamity class. Orion can easily smashing wall with his fist and Van Gogh have Outer God power as passive. Not to mention they both have Battle Continuation. Even if she counter she can't stop them from attacking her. Because their strong attack are literally every normal attack.

[@infinitykiyen6270]

@@deonjoyner960 To summarize... 1) Reflection vs Reflection wouldn't even do a thing. Because both side NEED at least 1 damage to counter. 2) Reflection is useless to defensive, buffing or normal attack type ultimate blow. 3) If there's too many things to reflect like Gilgamesh? She can't do anything too... The worst match up for Bazet would be defensive, superhuman or artillery class. However, it's no contender if its reflection battle because they will both did nothing at all...

Great video again, really getting into the details of a character that isn't as explored as some of the others. I have wondered about how bazett or family has made those fragarach bullets, from my understanding the family has a virus or pathogen that allows for them to use it but is it the same case for how they make new fragarach bullets? again great video.

[@TheArcSet]

Thanks for this. Does the counter retro-actively prevent the trigger, or does it just trigger before the trigger connects with the users? I've heard some conflicting accounts. Also, is it necessary that the trigger would be fatal? If someone launched a ranged attack, could the attack still kill her, after the counter hits?

[@_BBAGG_]

It's Retroactive, it basically rewrites causality so it hits before the opponent's trump card was used, making so it never had the opportunity to be used in the first place, it's why when she killed Saber who Fired excalibur, the Blast didn't immediately disintegrate her as well. It's also why Gae Bolg is able to contend with it, Gae Blogs curse reverses causality to make it so cause and effect are swapped, the heart was basically always in the state of being pieced once the curse was activated, so when Fragarach alters causality to hit first, the heart is still in the state of being pieced, basically a Double Kill

[@TheArcSet]

@@_BBAGG_Thank for clarifying.

[@carlosgarza400]

Pretty sure Shirou could've saved all the girls if Bazzet was there easily, but probably there'd be no romance

[@bluebearie7230]

he'd have to somehow romance her first she was set on a mission to win the war, and she wouldn't mind killing Shirou or anyone else on spot to achieve that goal she even had Lancer as her Servant, the Lancer who didn't have to hold back. the only reason she got taken out was because she didn't see Kirei as a threat and got backstabbed, after all.

[@carlosgarza400]

@bluebearie7230 she wouldn't have seen him as a threat, he only became a threat/participant once he was attacked

[@bluebearie7230]

well... she might not personally kill him after she killed Saber. But she doesn't have any issue letting her Servant finish the job. This happened in F/HA - so the only way he survives would be surrendering without any resistance from the beginning. Shirou was pretty stubborn tho, this will require him to rely heavily on his skill; "Harem Protagonist EX" to convince Bazett to let him, and also Saber live.@@carlosgarza400

[@yuukami8360]

Ooh ok Now I understand Not that I'm salty when Shirou lost I didn't expect him to win either since I know that you don't do BS plot armor I know for sure that she is way stronger and more experienced than him But I'm just confused about how Fragrach can kill Shirou before UBW was activated I just figured that it works when you tried to hit her directly But it seems she can use it as the opponent is still charging their move In any case, now I'm enlightened Thanks for the video explanation

[@jaimegonzalezjr2169]

I think their Trump card activate, then the counter will happen but it would change the course of time to activate first, killing Shiro and turning his Trump card to never activate in the first place in the eyes of time.

[@bluebearie7230]

yeah as long as it's a trump card She could also fire it off against Heracles' God Hand - and it didn't need any condition in that case because God Hand was always active In theory it should also be able to counter Avalon

[@flygonkerel781]

[@adamchu2001]

Like with most things, Fate/ it depends on the situation Fragarach is one of the ultimate counters in the verse able to alter Cause and Effect itself so that it destroys the heart before the opponents attack is launched (even though the activation conditions are the opposite). It does have the drawback though of unless the Attack incoming is THEIR STRONGEST you cannot activate Fragarach. It would probably be effective against Gilgamesh (if Gilgamesh didnt use another NP to stop someone who has Cause and Effect manipulation abilites (Like Cu who fought him for several hours before falling to him)). Ea is powerful because it is a record of the World before Genesis and tears apart the very Textures of the world on usage (because he is a Servant its nerfed by the Holy Grail System and Counterforce). What do you consider more powerful? Gilgamesh's Wide Area Destruction or a Oneshot Ability which could lead to your own death if used at the wrong time.

[@1Xaria]

So I've never gone through Ataraxia, but if I am understanding correctly, her NP auto activates to counter someone else's special attack. But I am not clear on a couple of things. Let's consider Artoria for instance. I can't imagine Bezett being able to challenge a top tier servant like Artoria in melee enough to even prompt Artoria to use a trump card. Unless standard swings with invisible air count as a trump card simply due to a saber using their powerful signature weapon. Or unless Bazett really is just able to rival Artoria in melee with nothing more than magic fists. Am I just not understanding how easy it is for Bazett to activate this instant kill? Like, does she not need to be Artoria's target? Perhaps she can activate it just from Artoria going all out in her vicinity? Or can she use it along with anyone using a special attack, effectively pairing it with her own servants attack? Maybe I am just underestimating Bazett, but I don't see her NP coming into play against a top tier melee servant 9 times out of 10 even if her enemy is unaware of it. For instance, after Soichiro surprises Artoria and throws her around, we know that wouldn't work a second time, but I don't imagine Artoria's response to that would be to use a trump card, she would just need to take him seriously. I am just wondering if I am missing something. Maybe I just need to watch that Don't Sleep video.
