Saber (Lancelot)

==Summary==
Saber is a Saber-class Servant able to be summoned by the Protagonist in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.
Saber's True Name is Sir Lancelot, also known as the Knight of the Lake, the person serving as a negative symbol of the Arthurian legend. He was extremely loyal to King Arthur as one of the Knights of the Round Table. This Lancelot is the closest being to his original state as the greatest Arthurian Knight. Caring for justice, honoring women, loathing evil - this virtuous figure overflowing with romance was acknowledged as the "ideal knight" by King Arthur. However, Lancelot feels that there is a cruel irony in being summoned as Saber, and so feels that the most appropriate class for himself is Berserker.

Weaknesses: Lancelot is chivalrous to the core and prefers to avoid using underhanded tactics unless he must, he suffers from incredible guilt over his actions. Guilt over his actions in life can be used against him via mental attacks.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
===Noble Phantasms===
* Arondight: The Unfading Light of the Lake: Lancelot's main Noble Phantasm, it is a powerful Divine Construct similar to Excalibur. It is said to be able to receive any attack without taking damage and raises all of Lancelot's parameters by one rank in addition to doubling the chance of saving throws in combat. In addition, due to the legend in which Lancelot slew a dragon, it possesses Dragon Slaying properties that make it even more effective against any target with draconic attributes. This is the original, shining form of Arondight when it was still a Holy Sword, long before it was stained by Lancelot's madness.
** Arondight - Overload: Breaking All Restraints - Overloaded Light of the Lake: Lancelot's Noble Phantasm attack. Lancelot overloads Arondight with his mana, letting the charged magical energy leak out. It is then repurposed into an attack. This Noble Phantasm is something close to a sword skill, which deliberately refrains from emitting the prana as a slash of light, instead releasing it upon cutting at the target. The blue light of the vast magical energy that overflows from the severed section has been alluded as being like a lake.
* For Someone's Glory: Not For One's Own Glory: One of Lancelot's auxiliary Noble Phantasms, it naturally manifests as a fog that makes it nearly impossible to discern his identity, obscuring his true name, sex, personal status, Noble Phantasms, and other important information. In addition, Lancelot is able to disguise himself as any other Heroic Spirit who has succeeded in military exploits, such as Alexander the Great, deceiving his foes' senses of sight and hearing to make his attacks seem completely different than they are.
===Class Skills===
* Magic Resistance: A skill that grants protection against magical effects. Differently from the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether. Lancelot's Rank B magic resistance cancels spells with a chant below three verses. Even if targeted by High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals, it is difficult for him to be affected.
* Riding: The class skill of Riders and Sabers, the ability to ride mounts. With his skill at Rank B, Lancelot can handle most vehicles with above average skill. However, he cannot ride the likes of Phantasm Races such as Monstrous Beasts.
===Personal Skills===
* Knight of Owner: A Knight Does Not Die with Empty Hands: An ability that is the embodiment of the incident where Lancelot was forced to fight Sir Phelot unarmed and proved his fighting prowess by claiming victory with an elm branch. Rather than an overt weapon, it manifests as a "unique ability" retained by his body. Once Lancelot grabs hold of anything that can be even remotely conceptualized as a weapon by his own recognition and he recognizes that he wishes to wield it, it instantly gains the property of "becoming his Noble Phantasm." He will even gain control of weapons intrinsic and unique to others like Noble Phantasms should he grab hold of them. Improvised weapons like steel poles will become demonic weapons comparable to Rank D Noble Phantasms that can clash with Noble Phantasms as mighty as Excalibur and can harm the spiritual bodies of Servants, while already great weapons will retain all of their properties while under Lancelot's control. For as long as the weapon remains in Lancelot's hands, he will wield as if he had done so for years as his "preferred weapon". However, he cannot make use of things he can't recognize as a weapon, such as an aircraft carrier or a chair.
* Eternal Arms Mastership: A skill that prevents degradation of fighting skills when under the effect of mental hindrance. Lancelot's fighting skill was so great that he was considered virtually unrivaled in his era, with his technique being engraved into every fiber of his being, allowing him to fight at full capacity even if he is driven completely insane or suffering from the effects of Mind Manipulation.
* Knight of the Lake: Having been raised from infancy by the Lady of the Lake, Lancelot is constantly receiving her blessings. This allows him to temporarily add a "+" to his Strength, Agility, Endurance, Mana, or Noble Phantasm ratings, effectively doubling their effectiveness for a time.
*Protection of the Fairies: A blessing from Elementals that raises Lancelot's Luck in dangerous situations on the battlefield.
