The best servant in Fate/Zero

The Fate anime series consists of the Holy Grail War, fought in pursuit of the ultimate wish-granting device. To aid the wizards in their pursuit, they summon heroic spirits called servants, based on legends from the past. No battle is as simple as hand-to-hand combat, but the strength of your servants will be the deciding factor in who walks away with this almighty chalice.

You might want to know who the strongest servants are in Fate/Zero, which features some of the most powerful servants in the Fate series like Iskander, Saber, and Gilgamesh, as well as some strange and powerful obstacles to these three kings. Here are all the servants ranked purely on their own strength!

7 assassin

The Mountain of a Hundred Faces

The only Assassin class servants that can be summoned in the Fuyuki Wars are the 19 Bearers with the title of Persian Sannoin (Hassan is the Sabbath). Of these, Hassan of the Hundred Faces was the 19th and last bearer of this name. Like other Assassins, Hundred Faces Hassan specializes in sneaking around and gathering information rather than direct combat.

However, while other Assassin class servants have ways to inflict damage, such as Hasan the Cursed Hand's Zabanya rupturing the target's heart, Hasan the White-Face has no such ability. Instead, the Assassin can split himself into 100 different bodies, making his servants the best at gathering information but the worst everywhere else.

6 lancer

Diarmuid

Lancer belongs to the Three Knights class. As such, they are generally one of the most powerful melee combatants during the Holy Grail War, along with sabers and archers. However, despite his ability to keep up with Saber, Diarmuid is one of the weakest Lancers seen in Fate. Even though it is not very powerful, it more than makes up for it with its high combat IQ, cunning, and Noble Phantasm potential.

The red polearm Gediag is a spear that overwhelms all magical structures. This gives Lancer a huge advantage over stronger opponents, as he can nullify Saber's magic armor and completely nullify Berserker's Noble Phantasm. He also has a short yellow spear named Gae Buidhe, a weapon that curses anyone who is wounded to never recover.

5 fierce

lancelot

Berserker's main Noble Phantasm, the Knight of Owner, can transform anything he touches into a personalized Noble Phantasm. This is limited to anything that could be considered a weapon. In Fate/Zero, we saw him use modern machines like guns, missiles, and even fighter planes as weapons.

Although less interesting than some of his other special abilities, this simple technique allows Berserker to pick up his weapon, turn it into a weapon, and keep up with Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon by deflecting incoming artillery fire. Moreover, although Mad Enhancement skills generally reduce the user's agility and combat power, Lancelot can move instinctively, allowing him to almost completely ignore the disadvantages.

4 thrower

Gilles de Rice

Throughout his life, Gilles De Raise was completely fascinated by Jean d'Arc and became a devout worshiper of Jean d'Arc, believing him to be a miracle of divine origin. He assisted her in numerous battles during the Crusades, both financially and as a knight. But when Jean was eventually executed for heresy, he began to doubt the existence of God.

Gilles de Rais began committing heinous crimes, kidnapping, murdering, and abusing children. All of this allowed God to prove His existence by punishing him, justifying every life he took in God's name. But this judgment never came, and so this crazy caster came into existence.

Although considered the weakest of the casters in terms of actual combat ability, his Noble Phantasm, Prelati's Spellbook, can instantly replenish all the mana he consumes. This allows you to create an endless supply of monsters, making them a powerful threat that not even Saber, Lancer, or Rider can easily handle.

3 force

Artoria Pendragon

Based on King Arthur, Artoria is the King of Kings. It is completely infallible and without any defects. She was a selfless king who wanted the best for her people. But it was her over-the-top, inhumanly benevolent nature that led her people to alienate her and eventually betray and murder her.

The Saber class is said to be the strongest of the seven main classes. Among the various heroes that can be summoned in this class, Artoria is the strongest. She is invincible as a swordsman and knight, and is even more fearsome due to her sword's length and ability to hide its nature. In addition, she also possesses the legendary sword Excalibur, which can easily destroy numerous enemies with a single swing.

2 rider

Iskander

Servant Rider is based on Alexander the Great, the King of Conquerors. During his lifetime, he created some of the greatest rules ever, establishing himself as one of the greatest kings of all time. He wanted to rule the whole world and see its end, but before he could do so, his life left him, and his kingdom was destroyed shortly after he left this world. As a servant, Iskander was as good as his living self, and even though the Rider class was generally too weak to stand up to the Three Knight Classes in direct combat, Iskander had no problem fighting the Saber, even earning Gilgamesh's complete respect.

His chariot, the Gordian Wheel, allows him to charge enemies with lightning flames using a Noble Phantasm called Via Expugnatio. But that's only part of Iskander's true power. Iskander's true Noble Phantasm is the Ionioi Hetairoi, a reality orb that can summon the souls of tens of thousands of heroes who served under him during his life. This is Iskander's trump card and is said to be potentially as powerful as Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon.

1 Archer

Gilgamesh

The Hero King's Noble Phantasm is called the Gate of Babylon and is the most powerful Noble Phantasm among the Servants of Fate. This allows Gilgamesh to summon infinite weapons from his vault and rain them down on his enemies. This weapon also includes the Noble Phantasms of other heroic spirits.

Although he usually uses his weapons as simple projectiles to send them away, he can utilize Phantasms to their full potential, such as using Enkidu to suppress Heracles in Fate/Stay Night. If you anger him, Gilgamesh will gain access to Enuma Eilish (EA), a Noble Phantasm that can erase reality itself, and will have no way to defend against it.
