Atalanta: *is hold*

[fate--incorrect-quotes]

Atalanta: My policy is if you see something, say something.

Bunyan: I saw a frog on the sidewalk today

Atalanta: Outstanding. This is what I’m talking about, people.

Hypothetical Rank Ups No. 40-42: Atalanta

Beyond Arcadia A -> Beyond Arcadia (True) A+

Increase Quick Card effectiveness for all allies (1 turn). Apply to Master [Wonder's Bounty] (5 turns).  Change current field to [Arcadia] (4 turns). - Wonder's Bounty: Gain 5 Critical Stars every turn. Excess critical stars (>50) carry over.  - Arcadia: All field types are active except for [near city]

Genuine question: Is it even possible to use a Beyond Arcadia boosted NPQQ as Atalanta against a full wave of 3 and NOT end up with an overflow of stars? I’m pretty sure it isn’t if everything hits.  So let’s finally fix that stupid issue of it being useless. I mean FFS the game goes out of its way to make it tally your extra stars as if they DID carry over like they should; lord friggin knows Quick needs it.  “Apply to Master” is a term I’m using for what apparently doesn’t have a precedent: An effect that persists for its duration regardless of what servant is or isn’t in play. You can swap Atalanta out or she can die, but the effect will remain active until those 5 turns are up. Yes I had something similar with Avicebro but didnt realize it’d be reoccurring at the time and having it side by side next to a field effect made me realize I couldnt call it Apply to Field. On that note, Arcadia. In myth it was a nature-utopia where Pan was said to live, and contained all sorts of mythical beings. It’s also based on a real region of Greece from which Atalanta hails and her Fate self takes that as part of her animalistic nature; the effect itself is the source of her incredible speed. You might think the name is a bit contradictive but the Japanese version is actually Crossing [to] Arcadia and both translations refer to the idea of Atalanta crossing any ground needed to return to it. This would be the “true” version in the sense she does return to it, creating a reality marble when a certain speed or amount of ground is traversed that embodies that mystical land. Because it’s a natural world of a phantasmal nature, it retains the properties of both natural field types and void space, meaning the only one not included is cities (And burning ones ARE included, wildfires have wild in their name for a reason!)

Hunter's Aesthetic C -> B++

Increase own Critical Star Gather Rate (1 turn). Apply Sure Hit to self (3 turns). After 1 turn, apply Sure Hit to all other allies (1 turn). Increase Critical Strength for all allies by 25% (2 turns). Apply Delayed Buff [Hunter's Mark] to self (1 turn). - Hunter's Mark: After 1 turn, if Critical Stars >50, further increase Critical Strength for all allies (1 turn).

And now for the other part of this, giving a special buff if you break 50 stars. Well, there’s clearly some other stuff too. On paper i get what they were going for with Hunter’s Aesthetic but it’s flat out mediocre in execution due to how the game has evolved. It’s meant to be like Izou’s Falcon skill where a low cooldown on a strong 1 turn gather grants a sort of rhythmic control over their crits. The issue is threefold though in that firstly as an archer Atalanta inherently has a higher gather rate whereas as an assassin Izou needs that gather reliability. Secondly Izou has an ST Arts NP whereas Atalanta has a huge hit count quick AOE with the world’s most excessive star bomb attached. Simply put Atalanta rakes in the stars by comparison regardless of Izou’s assassin boosts to star drop. Thirdly and most crucially is that Izou’s is on an insanely low 5 to 3 turn cooldown whereas Atalanta is at best 4 turns of cooldown for 1 turn of gather. Between these three things there’s no competition between the usefulness of Atalanta’s vs her peer’s. It’s also not even getting into Atalanta’s lack of any self-contained crit buffs. 25% isn't much but if you break the cap the scaling would jump to some pretty high levels considering they stack and all hits that turn would be crits, like an AOE Marksman if pulled off. Meanwhile we’d finally have a second Sure Hit Support unit, even if also an archer, which brings us to flavor. Atalanta did not slay the Calydonian Boar herself. That was Meleager, the prince who asked the Argonauts to help hunt the boar, and someone who was deeply in love with Atalanta. He was the one to deliver the killing blow, and offered its head to Atalanta as a gift. So why is Atalanta the one most associated with the death of the boar? Simple: She was the first one able to prove it could be killed. The boar was a divine being, sent directly by Artemis herself, and ran other heroes through like tissue paper. Atalanta was the first person who was able to shed blood from it and prove it could be killed, before successfully leading the hunt that led to its death. It’s the same here, she has an ability to ensure she hits her mark, and afterwards rallying a veritable firing squad of crits as she leads an ambush. 

So that’s why I gave her those in the form of that Sure Hit and a MUCH needed crit boost that can spread to allies if she lands that mark, so to speak! It results in these buff being obtuse ones with a focus on utility, ideally creating their own sense of rhythmic timing in conjunction with star gen + QQQ chains or her NP. When you have the right servants, Atalanta being one of them, 50 stars isn’t unfeasible, so that’s where the idea of the high scaling crit buff comes in. You break that threshold, you get to make sure those guaranteed crits HURT, but the low cooldown on such is balanced out by the fact you’re gonna need a specialized team if you wanna break that threshold with any regularity. What’s more we get a second ever Sure Hit support who unlike the other 4 star archer who has it WOULDNT be exclusive. That said, the duration is 3 turns only for Atalanta as the ‘leader of the hunt’ so to speak, and once her mark is set for a crit ambush the rest of the team gets Sure Hit as well for the crit burst turn Due to the low cooldown this also means at rank 10 you’d only have a single turn of downtime on Atalanta if you’re using the skill to keep Sure Hit up for an evade heavy fight. I was gonna put the self Sure Hit on her NP tbh but AOE Quick Archer with Sure Hit on NP is encroaching too much on Archer Illya for my liking. Speaking of her NP!

Phoebus Catastrophe B+ -> Phoebus Catastrophe (True) B++

Deal heavy damage to all enemies. Decrease Critical Rate for all enemies by 10% (3 turns). Decrease ATK for all enemies by 10% (3 turns). <Overcahrge> Gain Critical Stars. Deal additional Supereffective damage to enemies with [Weakness Found] debuff.

This one is up to you if you think it’s actually needed but the sheer redundancy of Atalanta’s NP drives me crazy. Like I said above I’m pretty sure it’s impossible to not get at least 60 stars with it against 3 enemies unbuffed. Why the hell it has star bomb is beyond me when it’s an 11 hit quick aoe and furthermore WHY DOESNT IT HAVE ANY OF ARTEMIS OR APOLLO’S EFFECTS?! It’s canonically her using both their power as a noble phantam! ....So I fixed that. From Artemis we get both of her NP’s offense debuffs but at half the scaling, while from Apollo we dont get Ignore Invincible or Ignore Defense (since she’ll already have Sure Hit) but it does get the niche Weakness Found supereffective damage at very high scaling (notably higher than Paris’s, in fact) to make up for the fact it’s intended for single target fights. Paris and Atalanta have inherent synergy with both being Quick focused archers with an evade in their kit, so this would have use for anyone willing to make use of Paris, and even without it we get the offensive debuffs from Artemis to add at least SOMETHING to her NP besides a mountain of stars.

I’ve been having some major art block so I decided to finish one of the old sketches I made at like 5:30 am on a Sunday so enjoy a very messy (and very cute Atalante also notic how I drew the ‘A’ as a star hehe

Ps. The ears were so difficult to draw I had to ask a friend how to draw them which ended up as me just drawing slightly curved triangles

Chaldea has to have a smoking room, right? Like, there's surprisingly many servants that smoke and I highly doubt that Nightingale and Atalante would allow them just smoke on the hallways. (Protect the kids.)

Or just to smoke safely. I'd imagine some servants are really aggressive about it. Asclepius might prefer this, as his cases will rise.

There's a library, kitchen, most likely a bar (Hosted by Moriarty, of course.)

So, yeah. Chaldea got most likely a smoking room.

Some random FGO servant headcanons because that’s what this blog is now:

The Avenger servants act like a family with Dantés as the father. They fight among themselves like a family but are usually really supportive of each other. Salieri wrote a new piece everyone is getting together to hear it if he found a way to play it on a computer in Chaldea. Gorgon does little home improvement things and everyone loves them. When they fight they insult each other and almost always have to apologize before a NP is being thrown at them.

Merlin is not allowed anywhere near the kitchen or allowed to deliver food. Nobody trusts him to not slip anything into it.

Edmond Dantés knows how to help with panic attacks, wether it’s servants or living humans, he knows how it feels from all that time ago when he was first put into the Chautte D’If.

Every servant is just always hoping and praying that they don’t have any alternate versions of themselves get summoned. Carmilla is just sitting in the summoning room and whenever she thinks a Liz is going to get summoned she just starts kicking it away and aggressively hissing, and Liz will do the same if Carmilla isn’t summoned in Chaldea at that point.

Enkidu goes out and meets new Servants everyday and is considered one of the best to welcome new servants, because if Enkidu can calm down Gil, Enkidu can do anything.

Atalante made Chaldea buy board games to be more inclusive in game nights for the children servants. Before all that was available was available were dirtier games like Cards Against Humanity. Unsurprisingly it ends worse when playing board games. Merlin wins a lot of Monopoly because of all his money “management” as Magi Mari. Queen of Sheba exclusively plays Monopoly because it’s money. The children servants are under the watchful eyes of Atalante and far away from the adult servants who are screaming over Uno as they come close to having a full out war after having +4s stacked until Cú had all the plus fours in the deck stacked against him.

Moriarity tried to have a “fuck Holmes this is an chaotic” club to watch movies. It ends poorly because most of them are taking but he gets to spend time with his adopted daughter Fran so it wasn’t a total waste.

If Fate ever had a crossover with another franchise outside of the Type-Moon universe, and specifically with Epic Seven the singularity would be absolutely chaotic. The singularity is essentially the acolytes accidentally created it and then the Chaos Gates picked it up and spread it and suddenly the Master is dragged in. The Acolytes are like “who is this?” and the Master (I’m going to say Ritsuka) is just freaked out and the Servants won’t let that happen. So like a bat out of hell an Avenger rushes in because of the vibes the Acolytes give off and just threaten the hell out of them. Ritsuka just continues summoning servants and eventually Ras, Arky, and Mercedes show up and just see this Mage summoning all of these heroes to fight the Acolytes and they’re a little amazed. And suddenly Vildred just shows up out of nowhere with Romani (because I miss him) and they explain everything. And like the singularity has all the major bosses of FGO and it just starts dragging in characters with grudges and forces them to work together against the bosses. So like Cecilia, Luna, Yufine, and Alencia for example are all fighting Tiamat alongside the Babylonia servants. It’s just pure chaos. It doesn’t to have all of the characters in the other game just a certain set of them: so for example in Epic Seven you could get Mash (Knight), Artoria (Warrior), and Archer Emiya (Archer). And for FGO you could get Ras (Ruler), Mercedes (Caster), Kayron (Avenger or Foreigner), Tenebria (Avenger or Foreigner), Vildred (Saber). I just thought that would be interesting.

Dantés is always mad at Sherlock because of Sherlock posing as himself in Shinjuku. Dantés will randomly appear in front of him and just break his focus and then be rude as he leaves.

Every morning there’s always a rush to the cafeteria for the staff to get coffee/tea/hot chocolate to get ready for the day. Dantés makes the best coffee just no matter what, no other servant can make coffee except him. Different servants make the tea every morning depending who gets assaigned what day. The Santa servants make the hot chocolate. None of them really want to be there but they do it because Master will go on each line and get something and the servants get happy seeing their master.

Merlin eats anything put in front of him as long as whoever made it made it with love for someone. He eats the emotions within the food rather than the food. He tastes the joy and love and he feels it’s even better when his Master made it, though he has no fact behind it.

Ryouma and Oryou are intrigued with all the different types of Oreos available. Oryou brings you frogs every time you order her new types of Oreos to try.
