Hypothetical Rank Up No. 50: Chiron
[I really don’t know why i do these but i’ve racked up 50, somehow. I was considering doing some special revisit or whatever but I ended up just doing the only Apocrypha servant left that I think only needs 1 rank up, since i really do need to stop getting sidetracked from my impromptu “all of Apoc gang” thing and it lets me still have number 50 be its own post. We can just say it's my official catalyst for the only Argonaut I still need now that I have Asclepius.]

SO WITH THAT OUT OF THE WAY
Chiron rank up! Make him all about that Mind's Eye with a bread and butter skill! Sometimes the best thing for gameplay is to spread it all out over their kit. Other times, I find it much more fun to have that one skill everything revolves around. That's what this would be. Originally I was going to reduce the cooldown from 8/7/6 to 7/6/5, make the gather down 2 turns instead of 3, and make the cooldown recovery 1 turn for both of your other allies, but then I ended up deciding instead to make it more targeted so that I could add several effects for if Chiron fulfills his role as a mentor of heroes, IE the selected target is a servant who qualifies for that list of somewhat archetypical mythological heroes.
Flavor wise, it's a simple matter of Chiron using his divine wisdom to both defend himself (Mind's Eye True) and to employ a much more powerful version of the Coaching skill (WHY OUT OF ALL THE MENTOR SERVANTS IS THE ONLY ONE WITH A DEDICATED MENTOR SKILL MAID ALTER?!?!) and reduce an ally's cooldowns sharply while also lowering Chiron's normally quite high star gather to nothing so his allies can more easily crit (which also internally synergizes well with his AOE crit up and star bomb second skill) and using his medical knowledge to increase the effectiveness of all healing received by allies, though he's reliant on said allies to actually provide the healing. Taking is a step further, Chiron cannot use his cooldown reduction on himself unless he is solo, and if the servant to receive his mentoring is an actual mythological hero just like the ones he trained, then Chiron's own legend is amplified and he gains several more effects. He shields his allies (apply target focus), is more in his comfort zone teaching them (reduce own cooldowns by 1), and fulfills his divine duty as a mentor of heroes thereby strengthen the constellation he became as a reward for his service to said heroes (NP strength up).
Balancing wise it also gets pretty crazy. Out of all freaking EIGHT of these effects, less than half of them would scale with level, and one of them is Healing Up on a servant with no healing skills so really it's more like two and a half. In exchange, those remaining skills would scale IMMENSELY high, and the reduced cooldown on its own is partially worth leveling for given the potential uptime on the skills and the increased frequency of the non-scaling utility effects. The defense buff would go from a 20% max to a maximum of 35%, the potential NP Strength buff would be a maximum of 50%, and the at its best the HP Recovery Up would be a whopping 100%, effectively turning it into something that means under ideal conditions as long as Chiron is on the field all healing the team receives is doubled. The defense buff in particular is of note because it means that not only does the evade synergize well with the potential target focus, but it also means even against (the nowadays VERY frequent) Ignore Invincible, Chiron would still be able to properly tank hits for allies. The NP Strength up is a one time buff and Chiron generally lacks any personal stims, meaning even if Chiron can get good refund you'll be using that for the utility more than damage the second time. It's still high enough however that between Chiron's damage rank up and supereffective against Earth bonuses, that first NP can easily deal meaningful damage
(PS: do let me know if you think another servant should be included in the "Prophesized Hero" category and if so why; I based this list on people who fulfil the idea of the archetypical "Hero's journey")
It’s spooky season time!😎✨ Not sure if I’m doing this correctly but I do have a request! How do you think Chiron and Achilles would react to dressing up with their love one? For some reason I can imagine them dressing up a matching theme. Thank you!
No worried anon, you did this perfectly! This was super fun to write, thank you for sending it in!
Chiron:
You have to be the one to approach him about a costume. He’s content to watch everyone dress up and it won’t cross his mind once to dress up himself. Chiron is happy to let you pick the theme and he’ll gather materials to make them how you want.
He’s handier with a needle and thread than you would think. He’s nowhere near Vlad’s level of skill but he can sew in a straight line and add some fancy stitches here and there. If you’re wanting something completely crazy, Chiron will ask one of the more skilled Servants for tips and lessons. He’s very quick to pick up new things so by the time the costumes are done he’s improved more than you would think possible.
Chiron likes costumes that are cuter and more majestic than silly or dark. He thinks its funny if you want to do something around Greece and will happily make the costume more period accurate. Overall, he’s not going to veto anything except if you want him to dress up as Achilles. It would be really funny and he does like to torture his pupil but he doesn’t want to mess with his hair. Even he has lines he won’t cross.
He sticks close to you while you’re both dressed up, smiling at how excited you get when people compliment your matching outfits. He’s content to let you take the reigns and parade around. Chiron is a supportive partner and goes out of his way to make you feel good. No one is going to give you any negative comments with him there, smiling threateningly over your shoulder. This is one of his happiest moments with you and he’ll be damned if someone tries to stop it.
Achilles:
He’s super excited to dress up. The minute people start talking about dressing up and costumes, Achilles is coming to you and asking question after question. You explain to him the traditions and he immediately asks to do matching costumes. It adds more emphasis on your relationship and he loves that. And he refuses to let anyone else do a matching costume with you so he’s going to ask first.
Achilles wants to do something dramatic or sexy, maybe a little scary. He knows that he’s sexy and he knows that you’re sexy, why not show off? You’re the best partner to have and he wants everyone to know that the two of you are together. If you hate that idea he’ll back off, puppy dog eyes wide and lip sticking out. You call the shots realistically and Achilles will let you pick what you’re most comfortable with.
He is no help at all trying to make the costumes. He’s happy to go shopping and running errands with you but actual sewing? Don’t let him touch a sewing machine or a needle and thread. Achilles will help! Oh sure he will! Buttons will go on backwards and things won’t be even but he’s so proud of it. You have to let him down gently and distract him a little to actually get sewing done.
Your costumes make a big splash. Well, Achilles makes a big splash and you’re around for the ride. Everyone loves your costumes and Achilles gets dragged into a few different conversations and mock fights. You’re happy to let him go, chatting with other people and having a good time. Achilles insists that the two of you get a photo together and he carries it with him everywhere. It’s something that he treasures, just like he treasures you.
friend and i are getting chiron with the free sr ticket on fgo!! who are you getting?
