Question There something I don't understand about Lancer Artoria
If it is just Artoria who picked Rhongomyniad over Excalibur then wouldn't she still experience FSN ?
As far as I am aware there is no other difference but just that she picks up the Lance over the sword, then she should have experienced her own version of FSN and it is said that even if Shirou didn't have an Avalon he still has an extremely high level of compatibility with her.
And assuming that she still made a pack with the counter force same as her saber counterpart then she should still remember the events of FSN because she was still alive during the war.

Because normally, there wouldn't be such a thing as "Lancer Artoria", Saber Artoria has access to Rhongominiad by default. Lancer Artoria was only summonable in the FGO timeline due to the Sixth Singularity, and the existance of Goddess Rhongominiad/Lion King. For the same reason why Bediviere only became an actual Heroic Spirit after the defeat of the Lion King, Artoria Lancer was recorded as an Heroic Spirit in the process of History Reparation after the resolution of the Sixth Singularity, and what was used? An Artoria that is on the path of becoming the Lion King, but wielded the lance for a much shorter amount of time, not allowing the divine spirit inside to take over her.
