Servant First Impression - Theseus

[@PlushieMistress]

His numbers are pretty nuts for a 3 star. I think they really tried to make him competitive despite saber hokusai existing in evocation.

[@MystFGO]

If anything, he is only held back by his rarity. He would be crazy as an SSR.

[@2iq371]

they prob learned from the past and are future proofing the new low rarity servants. the game will have power creep,so may as well make him good now and not worry about buffing him 3 times in the future.

[@badendersgame]

he feels like he was meant to be a 4* but got bumped down to 3

[@cocoqtpi]

Fun fact for appreciation (which u kind of noted) : the shield on his second and third ascension is Asterios’ helmet, and is a symbol of their friendship and in remembrance of Asterios after Theseus had to kill him. He’s a cool guy who bonded with asterios in fgo lore and a massive gigachad.

[@MystFGO]

Take a shot every time I say WOW in this video

[@AoiLucine]

Myst no it's monday morning i cant get drunk this early

[@justalex4214]

The "sphere" and the red stuff on his arm is supposed to be the cloth thread he is using to navigate through the minotaur's labyrinth :)

[@MystFGO]

Yeah I realized it after I saw the NP 😂

[@imboredaf9601]

Theseus is the one who killed the Minotaur and in Asterios's wiki page and relationship section, apparently him and Theseus are canonically good friends despite the fact Theseus was the one destined to kill him. Does this show up in the event? No clue, but either way it is nice that my fluffy boy has another friend on his roster! I shall definitely 120 both of them just so they're not separate

[@lhv2k]

He's one of if not the best non-gold ST in the game. In a hypercarry team his NP is obviously weaker than Hokusai due to the 3* stats (by ~21.2%), but he pulls ahead if you hit atleast 1 of his niches (6.7% for DB servants and 23.6% for Giant), and way ahead with both, though it's quite rare. His kit is also very modern with really good numbers even for a gold servant, with battery, steroids, niches and lots of crits and stars. He only lacks survivability, but since he's Art that's not really an issue, and that also means he has way higher ceiling potential for damage. And this guy is permanent, poor Bedivere, it's not even close.

[@asaboukirha4782]

Myst: For those who are lacking a good St saber, you don't have to wait too long Me: Yes definitely, in 2 years

[@Kriifman_7]

You like robots? I'd rather have Salome.

[@HitsujiMamoru]

When I saw his kit as an enemy, I already thought to myself "How is this allowed on a silver? He must be limited" And then the game decided to say "no no he is permanent" and I'm very glad he is. First silver Saber since Bedivere, and first permanent since Fergus. AND they decided to make him THAT good. Crazy.

[@duynguyenminh1289]

Does that mean the content will get incredibly harder and they will release more servants to solve those contents? (the kind of servants will make Ibuki summer a shame just like how she makes others art loopers unnecessary.

[@lookingforlove839]

I just love this guy. Only got him np2 though, but he is like a 3 star lancelot. Everything in his kit is made to make him a crit monster Edit: Glad you agree that he is like Lancelot

[@Urd-Vidan]

For me, skill and NP wise, he's better than Lancelot. One of the best things that make him better is that his NP is Multi hit. Only thing that Lancelot has over Theseus is him being a 4 star.

[@Evil_Florida]

@@Urd-Vidan Lancelot also has pierce invo for when that matters. niche yeah but definitely something that differentiates him from theseus

[@Urd-Vidan]

Theseus the True Arts saber

[@joshbuckley5902]

The ball and red stuff on his arm are Ariadne’s string right?

[@Missure_E]

Yes.

[@pondr3225]

Theseus is really feeling it!

[@As-tray]

Yep, he's the guy that killed the Minotaur in Labyrinth

[@Dudi4PoLFr]

Wow 3* more stacked than some 4*! Grailed he could even become better than 4* Saber Lancelot.

[@xolotltolox7626]

His FA looks like a PoV panel where he got pinned down and is about to get topped

[@dphalanx7465]

That "sphere" Theseus is holding is the ball of twine he used to find his way through the Labyrinth. This is the man who defeated the Labyrinth and killed the Minotaur. He achieved 6 Hercules-like Labors, and later became King of Athens. *Medea* (Caster) is his enemy; she was his father's new wife (having arrived in Athens after fleeing from Jason), and the two became rivals for the city's throne.

[@Killer_Kotomibro]

Liked and commented for that epic Myst burp. That had some resonance and great bass. 8.5/10 solid performance

[@diaokohasanpour232]

Wow. That's easily a 5 kit, man

[@smappa849]

Watching your content has rubbed some Okita/gudaguda particles on me, since I just got Daishouri to NP6 from random singles and multis on her banners over the years. She was not a target, I was, and I will now max her fully. You have created a fellow Okita enjoyer even if indirectly. P.S. Onnea uuteen kotiin!

I love him as a unit but I really cannot ever get behind shimadrill's art lol its so ugly to me

[@GS_CCC]

Worst part is that he can do other styles, like in danganronpa v3 the faces are way better. But for some reason he intentionally does it like this.

[@sen3680]

@@GS_CCC yeah ive seen his other work but idk why he insists on this really putty faced style in fgo. saber lancelot looks so... bad

[@hylia8347]

if you look at asterios' and theseus' fa, they might honestly be hanging out together given the fact that they're both in a flower field in their art

[@CaptainAdmiralMango]

When you think about it, Jason does pair pretty good with him

[@unknownentity222]

The sphere he's holding is a ball of twine, which is what he used to not get lost in the labyrinth.

[@President-of-Funny]

Theseus ballin?

[@shamvnblood]

also worth mentioning that xu fu is also unlimited and can provide 20 stars per turn, more arts and crit up, np gain up and a battery and buff removal resist . actually nuts

[@landoakechi9406]

This can only mean that gold servants are about to get nuts

[@Ottobean]

They do this because their competition has NP upgrades. Don't be misled by how high the crit buff numbers are. They are 3* servants, so it's not as impressive as everyone is acting

Arts crits Saber? My proto merlin and Johanna boutta buff him to hell, not to mention castoria exists

[@Kriifman_7]

I think his kit is better than Saber Hokusai. Why he's 3star tho? With this kit he should be at least SR!

[@yukio9723]

I thought that's the reason why he's 3 star. If he's higher than that would be overshadowing old servant like hokusai and lancelot.

[@Kriifman_7]

@@yukio9723 Maybe.. It's just that I like new servants more powerful than the older one. So, they will buff the older one later. I think hokusai and lancelot are still not at the top tier for SR with their kit right now. Theseus with his kit? Immediately top tier for 3star. 😁

[@gusbart5856]

Good Kits dont correlate with rarity. thank God for that or this Game would be way worse otherwise

@@gusbart5856 Yes.

[@yukio9723]

@@Kriifman_7 That's the real problem of Early year servants. There's still some that still good even after 8 years of the game but also many that kinda useless for now

[@zirconium1703]

His Arts crits look great, but besides his NP buff his Buster crits might actually be lackluster in comparison. Using his cards might be kind of awkward in practice since his two Buster cards will be strictly worse than his Arts. Pretty unusual for a crit Servant to not want to use their Buster cards, but his kit likely more than makes up for it. Can't wait to try him out.

[@bazah23]

Nice servant

[@PastaAivo]

That NP is pretty dope. I think someone might really enjoy making a grail project out of him.

[@Evil_Florida]

This man is literally a three star lancelot. His kit is insanely good and probably the best out of the three star sabers

[@dayvid-someboy]

He got a glock in his rari

[@lookingforlove839]

It's Theseus

[@nevisysbryd7450]

This is Theseus, not Perseus. The lore changes would be worse, anyways. Fate leaned _heavily_ into the Ovid take on the myth of Perseus and the gorgons, which itself flew directly in the face of the Greek myth and retroactively turned Medusa from a born malevolent man-eating monster into a victim and Perseus from the _one_ Greek hero who literally did not do *anything* wrong to a foolish, unwitting tool for the god's victim-blaming. While a grain of salt is due on account of the narrator in question, Perseus is allegedly a 'successful Shinji' in Fate.

[@LanguidWyvern]

That's not a basketball, get a Clue

[@brichards71993]

I guess I'm in the vast minority, but I really don't see him as being that good at all. Arts crits are just so inferior to Buster and Quick, even with a kit as crit centric as this. I just did some simulations with him and even with the perfect turn, the crit damage just pales in comparison to a typical Buster or Quick crit servant. The upside is it greatly helps with NP spam, bust most arts servants don't have any problem with NP spam to begin with.

[@MystFGO]

Yeah but the thing is, you gotta see it as a combination of the NP spam AND the juicy crits. Then we should be talking very nice damage output overall.

[@lookingforlove839]

Lostbelt 2 is just the perfect story chapter for him. He shreds giants and my Theseus is only np2

[@DragonSword35d]

It seems you need to brush up on your Greek lore. Basketball? Really?

[@MystFGO]

Obviously I was just joking, I didn't seriouly think he is holding a basketball 💀 I was just saying it because the pose is similar to someone holding a basketball.
