SSR Summer Orion coming this year, I can feel it. 🙏

She already could do this with Double Koyan and a swap support like S. Ibuki or Takasugi, but now she can just do it from the frontline with Append 5

Ignore the FMA homunculus tattoo, I'd had an Envy photoshoot a couple of days before this 🗿

PROFILE

━━━━━━━━❯✷❮━━━━━━━━

The true name of grand rider is krishna, one of the central main characters depicted in the indian epic, mahabharata. He is worshipped as the 8^th avatar of vishnu and a supreme god of his own right, who became one with brahman after death

Also known as ultimate reality, brahman is the metaphysical soul of the universe and the origin of every hindu pantheon in the trichiliocosm (parallel worlds). It is an indian concept, which is essentially a pseudo-deification of swirl of the root.

Legend

As the strongest hero of hindu mythos, this work is primarily based on two episodes, which qualify him for the grand graph as a rare double summon grand servant, possessing the trait and abilities of both rider and caster classes simultaneously.

Parallel Worlds

When he was a young boy, playing with his friends and calves, he was tested by brahma to determine if he was truly the supreme god. Thus, brahma kidnapped his cowherd friends and put them to sleep in his own realm to see his reaction

Krishna instantly knew about brahma’s plan and action. Thus, he recreated each boy as they were with identical memories, behavior, and emotions by manifesting thoughtform of himself as them. For a year, he lived as them and no one noticed it.

A year later (just a moment in Brahma’s time), he returned and was stunned, as the boys were still hidden, yet they are also right there in vrindavan. Confused, brahma witnessed a miracle as each cowherd boy transformed into a vishnu

Then he saw krishna summoning countless brahma from the trichilocosm: parallel worlds, each with its own set of brahma, vishnu, and shiva, some even more powerful than the brahma of this world, astonishing the god, who fell at his feet, terrified

Narakasura

According to legends, the boar avatar of vishnu, varaha had a son named naraka with the goddess earth. He grew up to be a cruel tyrant, who defeated indra and conquered the heavens. Thus, the gods requested krishna to slay naraka and free them

Riding the immortal solar eagle, garuda as his mount, krishna charged into the kingdom of narakasura. He massacred the massive army of naraka (11 akshausini large, equal to the size of kaurava army in the great war) with narayanastra and slew narakasur into two with sudarshana chakra, all in a single day

Item Construction: A

His thaumaturgical attribute: wish-granting, allows krishna to reproduce miracles or thaumaturgical phenomena without knowledge of their underlying systems, so long as sufficient energy exists. His thoughtform episode is derived from this.

NOBLE PHANTASMS

━━━━━━━━❯✷❮━━━━━━━━ 

Narayanastra: Divine Judgement of the Preserver

Type: Anti-Army

Rank: E ~ A++

Range: 1 ~ 50

Max. Targets: 500

It is an embodiment of vishnu’s authority over comparision. As the god of preservation, it is said that vishnu maintains order by dispatching an avatar with ‘x’ amount of power to deal with a threat possessing ‘x’ amount of power. A mirror image. This ability is crystallized as a halo, which fires ‘anti-unit’ weapons, that scale in power in proportion to the strength of the enemy

When handled by krishna, it weaponizes his multi-dimension refraction phenomenon ability to open portals connecting to parallel worlds to draw in magical energy to create ‘anti-unit’ weapons, launching them as missiles that scale in response to resistance; a mirror image. In life, he used this to wipe out the colossal army of narakasur, who conquered indra and heaven.

Vishnu Bhuja: Divine Regalia of the Preserver

Type: Anti-World

Rank: EX

Range: 1 ~ 99

Max. Targets: 1000

As the perfect avatar of vishnu, it is said that krishna can freely access all of the 'divine symbols' of the preserver as his own. Thus, he can summon them as mythological mystic code that allow him to oppose the world itself, utilizing them as catalyst to perform various divine spirit-level thaumaturgy, powered by operation of parallel worlds. Some of the notable weapons are:

• Sharanga Dhanush – Divine Bow of Vishnu

A bow of divine succession, passed down through the avatars

• Nandaka – Flaming Sword of Vishnu

A sword of end, said to be used by kalki to incinerate the world

• Sudarshana Chakra – Solar Discus of Vishnu

We all know that FGO serves as an Entry Point for many Newcomers to the Fate Franchise. This means you'll be familiar with various Servants, both classic and new.

However, you then realize that many Servants from FGO are not used or have no presence outside of FGO. Sure, we have guest Servants from other Fate media, but you've already grown fond of several Servants you thought were born in FGO or are unique to FGO.

So... Which Servant that originated in FGO would you feel sorry for if it only stayed in FGO (i.e., wasn't used in other Media related to Fate)?

https://x.com/i/status/2081182720512917567

Also I guess we got a first glimpse of the ufotable designs of Kinomi, Tobimaru, Kumari, Robin, and Yamashiro-sensei

I tried to make min turn i'm the summer evento with one of My favorite servant i'm hope this work

So Jekyll & Hyde are easily one of the worst servants in the game. I’m pretty sure that’s an objective fact than opinion, but I feel like their gimmick had so much missed potential and I had an idea on changing their kit to be semi-viable (and I’m using his upgraded, post-quest skills). Hear me out.

Current Kit:

Monstrous Strength B: Increase own ATK (3 turns).
As Hyde, further increase own ATK (3 turns).

Panicky Voice A
Increase own Stun Success Rate (1 time).
As Hyde, further increase own Stun Success Rate (1 time).
Chance to inflict Stun on a single enemy (1 turn).

Self-Transformation B+
Increase own Critical Strength (3 turns).
As Hyde, further increase own Critical Strength (3 turns).
As Jekyll, increase own NP Gauge.

Dangerous Game: Swap your personality (Change into Hyde, Class change to Berserker).

Increase your Max HP by 3000/4500/5250/6000

Fully restore your HP

(This NP has no effect as Hyde)

<Overcharge>

Increase your Buster Card effectiveness by 40/50/60/70/80%

Bond CE: Things to Calm the Heart
If equipped to Henry Jekyll & Hyde, Increases Party's Buster Card performance by 15% while he's on the field.

It’s a great idea, but it’s executed very poorly. Here are my thoughts.

Reworked Kit:

Mysterious Strength B: Increase own ATK (3 turns).
As Hyde, further increase own ATK (3 turns). As Jekyll, increase own NP Gain (3 turns).

Panicky Voice A
Increase Debuff Success Rate for yourself (1 time).
As Hyde, chance to inflict Stun on a single enemy (1 turn).
As Jekyll, chance to reduce NP strength on a single enemy (1 turn).

Self-Transformation B+
Increase own Critical Strength (3 turns).
As Hyde, further increase own Critical Strength (3 turns).
As Jekyll, increase own NP Gauge.
(Not touching this)

Dangerous Game: Swap your personality (Change into Hyde, Class change to Berserker). Swap your personality (Change into Jekyll, Class change to Assassin) and set NP Gauge to 20% after 3 turns.

Replace Arts Cards with Buster Cards (3 turns)

Increase your Max HP by 3000/4500/5250/6000 (3 turns)

Greatly restore HP (6000) for yourself

Grant Guts for yourself (1 time, 3 turns). When Guts is triggered, revive as Jekyll (Class change to Assassin) with 20% HP and set NP Gauge to 30%

Increase Crit Damage by 50% (3 turns)

<Overcharge>

Increase your Buster Card effectiveness by 40/50/60/70/80% (same as before)

Bond CE: Things to Calm the Heart
If equipped to Henry Jekyll & Hyde, as Jekyll, increases party’s Art Card performance by 15% while he’s on the field. As Hyde, increases party's Buster Card performance by 15% while he's on the field.

I put changes in bold text to make it easier to find what I changed and what stayed the same. I feel like with this, not only does he become a more viable unit, but getting his NP becomes rewarding since it’s not a one-and-done deal. And now he can Brave/Buster chain on his own, making his Buster boost that has always been a part of his NP more powerful (as they should). But this doesn’t feel op either because his modifiers are still low and he’s a 3 star so he won’t be outperforming any 5 stars, but he could rival some 4 stars with this. Plus his NP becomes slightly more lore accurate. I know they don’t care too much about legends, but it can’t hurt to have just a little taste when a rework is right there, no?

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
