The strongest servant in Fate/Zero
Good morning/evening/noon/night depending the time you may be Reading this. The purpose of my post is quite simple, i want to write a really freaking cool argument that thanks the servants that appear in Fate/Zero (if you haven`t seen the anime or light novel i highly suggest it is a must-see material). I really love this anime so i think that now that i have studied every servant and their abilities i can create a non-noob list completely impartial to every servant. Note that if you disagree it`s perfectly OK i can`t demand you to think the way i do. Without further filler (of course i`ll put he overview as always) i will begin my list.
Overview
This list consists in a ranking of the servants that appear in Fate/Zero from weakest to the most overpowered, i will put the reasons why i ranked them this way in every position. If you feel confused by my explanation then go see a doctor. I placed a stat diagram which shows the strenght of parameters, it`s quite easy to understand.
The stat follow this order:

Assassin-Hassan-i-Sabbah
Just i want to mention something and is a Little fact, you see my reader the Assassin that appears in Fate/Zero is not one servant but 80 of them! Yes you didn`t read bad or i misspelled they are 80 servants. Multiple incarnations of Assassin, despite being so many his stats are quite mediocre and are:
- Strength D
- Endurance D
- Agility B
- Mana E
- Luck B
which are the worst sum of stats of all classes. The Assassin class is a special class since they cannot handle a servant properly, neither can they fight them with overwhelming power, the only good thing the Assassin class know is: stabbing a master from the shadows and being very silent, they don`t have any other abilities. The Assassins are also are quite fragile and very weak since Rider took 2 at the same time with Little effort and Gilgamesh finished one with bare effort, later in the series Rider defeats the remaining 77 Assassins with his noble Phantasm and the fight lasts less than a minute, sorry but even with numerical force they just are pretty weak.

Caster-Gilles of Rais
AKA as Bluebeard, this guy is a sadistic sociopath that likes to kill children and believes that Saber is Joan of arc, still that`s another story for another time… The reason he is not up there is quite simple, the caster class is next to the assassin class the weakest class in the holy grail war due to needing to much prep time to be efective, they usually tend to be the first to fall not to mention their stats are quite mediocre with the exception of their great mana stat, the caster class stats are:
- Strength E
- Endurance E
- Agility C
- Mana A
- Luck B
Which aren`t to favorable against a melee based opponent like Lancer or Berserker. Now with the actual feats he made, he really coudn`t fight in a straight fight against any other servant and required a good amount of prep time just to be in the same grounds with Saber (Without going all out) ,the prep time he needs to be effective is his greatest weakness and strenght since he needs to: A) Gather hosts for his demons, B) Summon the demons, C) supply himself with mana, D) plan a way to flee in case he gets screwed, ect… His greatest weapon is his noble phantasm the Prelati which allows him to summon the Chutullu (which is basically he summoning a giant octopus) quite fearsome since the intervention of 3 servants was needed to stop him (not being him), the Chutullu form enables him to regenerate wounds at incredible speeds, give him a great defense, a huge physical boost and becoming a walking fortress, but if destroyed with a single hit everything is doomed, and actually that happened when Gilles met Excalibur… Sorry Bluebeard you ain`t going higher.

This guy is just awesome! He is a noble knight, a ladies-man without even trying and a force to be reckoned of. He is probably along with Saber and Berserker the best in the Melee class. His stats are also very good in all aspects which are:
- Strength B
- Endurance C
- Agility A
- Mana D
- Luck E
His noble phantasm consists in two lances, a long red lance known as Gae Derg makes magical weapons,armor and any other magical related item useless, the short yellow spear he wields known as Gae Buidhe has the effect of making the wounds caused by the use of this weapon to never heal unless the lance is broken. He is frankly one of the top dogs classes with Archer and Saber since these 3 classes are highly resistant or immune to magic(Said a lot in the series). He is very agile and strong, a complete master with his lances and mind playing. The only reason he is not up there is because he doesnt`t have a “if i activate this noble phantasm i automatically win” or” i use this you`re cells are gone” despite this, he would murder and butcher the poor Caster in a spontaneous combat and Assassin. He was a formidable opponent to Saber even reaching the point to harm her! (of course if Saber would had Avalon at the time she would had stomped him like nothing). Still he is one of my favorite servants for his noble personality and heart. Still Diarmuid you ain`t going higher.

Berserker-Lancelot
Copying what Rider said to define him i say :” To be a crazy dog he is really skilled”. The Berserker class just like the Assassin class has limited supply of skills which consist in basically “get pumped up with my mad enhancement and destroy things! Argh!” and that is what a Berserker is, a beast which fights like a madman crushing everything in its path with amazing speed and strenght, however this is not for free since the Berserker class is in fact the class that drains their master`s mana supply like a giant vacuum. So if you ever have one of these they will literally eat your mana until you die (in the first 4 holy grail wars all the masters of a Berserker died due to the extreme fatigue of feeding their servant). The Berserker stats are quite low when not in mad enhancement, however when they use it be prepared… his base stats are:
- Strength C
- Endurance D
- Agility D
- Mana E
- Luck E
Alright that seems a bit low if you see well, but as i said when they use mad enhancement they rise to clouds. The Berserker that appeared in Fate/Zero is a complete badass in the full sense of the Word. He faced Gilgamesh and survived! He can take anything he grabs and turn into his weapon (a Rank D weapon) and can morph like Mystique, he is very fast, agile, resistant and strong, the only thing this guy needs to be on the top is brains and a super population destructive weapon. When he transforms into Lancelot he gains his “true” weapon Arondight a sword that could be called a “sister” of Excalibur, but not as strong as Excalibur. His strenght,speed, and by far his coolness makes him a complete badass knight. Still my dear friend the black knight won`t go higher due to the fact he was defeated by a Saber without Avalon and survived with Gilgamesh by sheer luck(Two more noble phantasms and GG Lancelot) since Gil wasn`t fighting seriously. I highly think he is much more versatile than his counterpart Heracles of Fate/stay night(But not as powerful).

Rider-Alexander the great or Iskander
Remember what i said about Diarmud being awesome? This guy is even cooler and stronger, not to mention he is the most charismatic character in Fate/Zero. The Rider class s a bit hard to explain since they are always so different in the methods or weapons they use to fight(Usually but not strictly Noble Phantasm Reliant) any definition i could give would be to rigid, but i can say a Rider servant have a hell of a noble phantasm and usually “ride” something to attack in the case of Iskander he rides a chariot carried by divine bulls that are from his daddy Zeus. The rider class stats are:
- Strength D
- Endurance D
- Agility B
- Mana C
- Luck E
He is a demi god and thus is stronger than a mere mortal, the bulls that carry his chariot can fly allowing him to reach incredible distances quickly, he can attack as a melee(But, not quite as skilled as Lancer, Saber or Lancelot) and as a ranged warrior since he can throw up lightnings( remeber who his daddy is). He is a tall muscular man of great force, but his true power lies in his charisma and personality which have earned him the tittled of one of the most popular servants (he is my third favorite servant, and this is just coincidence) despite Rider`s skills are great his noble phantasm is something you may pee with all due respect. His noble phantasm Ionian Hetairo(march of the King) creates a reality marble(basically a place in your mind outside reality) which brings ALL HIS ARMY! Seriously his army is fearsome and BIG more tan a million brave soldiers butchering you! His noble phantasm is so powerful that with Gilgamesh`s Gate of Babylon they are considered EX noble phantasms or so powerful that they are in a league of their own. Despite that even Ionian Hetairo is very powerful it was unable to defeat Gilgamesh (sad momento for me when he died :() still Rider you are one of he top dogs here and just for a funny fact the top 3 is made only of kings XD. Still this guy is just freaking awesome, but being the King of all conquerors won`t make you get higher. If you wanna see his broken noble phantasm here is a link to it:

Saber-Arturia Pendragon or King Arthur
I will not lie here. She is my favorite servant and the one i really cheer up since she is so calm,cute, smart, serious and very kindhearted, but at the same time reserved. She is called in many times to be the “best class” since the Saber class which are basically knights that wield famous swords have the base stats of:
- Strength A
- Endurance B
- Agility B
- Mana C
- Luck D
Which by the sum of stats are the highest of all classes. She is very fast and strong, her ability of invisible air makes her sword invisible to the foes eye, which can be extremely tricky in a melee based duel. She has a special ability that was granted by the lady in the lake and consists in the fact she cannot sink and can walk in the water like i am weasel, she is extremely good in melee fights like Lancer and Berserker even reaching the point of being the pinnacle of melee skills. She has a natural skill which allows her to heal like Wolverine as time passes, but one of the things that makes her so feared among other servants is her divine sword Excalibur which is an A+++ noble phantasm. The ability of Excalibur allows her to send burst stream of light that destroys anything it comes in contact with, it is so powerful it defeated aChutullu-Caster with a single hit and destroyed even the holy grail container. Her true brokenness comes top lay when the sheath of Excalibur, Avalon comes top play, with Avalon any injury Saber receives it`s automatically repaired and projectiles amed at her are cancelled, which if you have half a brain know that you are pretty much screwed with this. If she has Avalon she can fight eternally without fatigue and her mana is also replenished which means Excaliblasts all day boy. Despite being my deared favorite servant and being plain broken with a competent master, she is not number one. Sorry Arturia even being the King of England won`t take down the King of heroes… if you wanna see how broken Excalibur really is take a look at this:

Archer-Gilgamesh
Despite Danny( A friend of mine) dislikes him, he is the most broken servant ever! His base stats aren`t really that important for him but i will put them anyways and they are:
- Strength C
- Endurance C
- Agility C
- Mana E
- Luck E
The thing that makes Gilgamesh so damn broken besides the fact he completely craps on the stats system is that: he is 2/3 a god in first place giving him a hight degree of divinity. He is “the King to whom all treasures were granted” this means he has more tan 1000 weapons, wine from the best quality, a flying machine (don`t know how he got it), paints, sculptures and even an eternal youth elixir. These vast fortune is stored in a dimensional gate known as "Gates of Babylon", Gilgamesh can Access to them at anytime and everyplace he wants to, but you may ask this: “OK he has many stuff, but how is he the strongest?” well the question is answered with the fact he can summon this vast number of weapons of all type at any moment and spam your opponent to death summoning blades,spears,scythes, and even chains to the death, all these weapons are legendary and have special abilities. This technique is extremely effective since in Fate/stay night he easily defeated Lancer in less tan 12 seconds in the DEEN anime and took down Heracles with his 12 lives without a scratch in the UBW route. He defeated Rider and his vast army with his single and most powerful weapon known as Ea. Ea is by far the strongest weapon to date in the Fate franchise since it is the only “anti-world weapon” that annihilates anything. It is so powerful that Gilgamesh only uses it against worthy opponents like Rider or Saber, he has a chain named after his best friend called Enkidu which is an “anti-god weapon” that binds gods and demons to it leaving them powerless and ready to be owned. Even the creator of the franchise Kinoko Nasu has stated that if Gilgamesh were to fight seriously he could easily defeat the other six servants in a day. The only flaw he has is his extreme overconfidence and arrogance since he usually doesn`t go seriously against his foes or even considering them foes in the first place, instead he considers them mongrels. He is definitely the ultimate servant in terms of power.
Final words.
If you read to this point i`m quite amazed. Nah just joking. Still it was very fun to do this and even more for you to comment on this, if you disagree i would like to see you r opinions so that i can learn since i don`t think i know it all. Still i hope you can comment on this and watch Fate/Zero. Without further ado have a nice morning/noon/night my readers.
