Furthermore, he is a bit more smarter than his Rider self.
Weaknesses: He can't fight in Spirit Form. Astolfo lacks restraint and common sense and thus constantly blabbers about things, giving away important information such as his strengths and weaknesses without thinking much of it.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:

La Black Luna: Magic Flute That Calls Panic: A great hunting horn that was given to Astolfo by the witch Logistilla. When not being actively used, it is kept at a small size and hung on his hip, but when he activates it, it grows to its full size and encircles his body. With its activation, it emits an extremely loud magical sound similar to the roar of a dragon, the cry of a giant bird, and the neighing of a divine horse, slamming into any enemies nearby as an explosive wave of sound.
Those who are killed by the attack will be instantly reduced to dust, which is quickly blown away by the explosion of force. While it can instantly destroy large amounts of weaker enemies, its destructive power is not that great when used against Servants. However, its true power is in blowing out the hearing of opponents. While most Servants would only be slightly disadvantaged by the loss of their hearing, if it used at the opportune moment, it can turn a battle around.

Casseur de Logistille: Destruction Declaration: A thick leather book given to Astolfo by the witch Logistilla, containing records on methods to break essentially any magecraft. It thus grants Astolfo the passive ability to negate magecraft of even A-rank from the Age of Gods, and amplifying his lacking Magic Resistance of D to A, and effectively making him immune to modern magi. He originally forgets its name, instead calling it Luna Break Manual: Magical All-purpose Tome of Tactics until he remembers its True Name when he realizes the Moon is not in the sky. For Astolfo, who found his reason on the moon, only regains it when the moon is not visible, as it means that his reasoning can no longer be there. With the release of its True Name, Astolfo gains the ability to break all magecraft close to High-Thaumaturgy, with the exception of Reality Marbles.
Vulcano Caligorante: Fortuitous Abduction Net: The net used by the giant Caligorante which is even able to capture gods. That was what it was supposed to be actually... but because Astolfo used the magic horn, Caligorante panicked and ended up trapping himself in his own net.
From all the craziness, Astolfo’s Saint Graph morphed into the Saber class, and the net was reforged into the form of Astolfo’s sword. The dream weapon of all warriors, the whip-sword or "gallant sword" as it is called.
Crazy Trip Drive Idol: Idol of Uncontrolled Rampage: The power of the Hippogriff from when Astolfo is summoned as a Rider. Everywhere, but also nowhere. Able to become an existence of numerical imagination, breaking through enemy formations. In detail, it's the ability of Astolfo making multiple clones and fading in and out of existence, thus avoiding attacks. Furthermore, in the event of a worst-case scenario, Astolfo is able to temporarily multiply the number of clones.
===Class Skills===
Riding: The ability to ride mounts. Astolfo's A-Rank in this skill allows him to ride any modern vehicle or animal as a mount with masterful skill, but he cannot ride those of the Phantasmal Species like Medusa's Pegasus or Divine Beasts like Ozymandias' sphinxes.
Magic Resistance: An innate ability that grants protection against magical effects. Unlike the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether. Astolfo's Magic Resistance is rank of A, allowing him to negate even A-rank magecraft from the Age of Gods, and effectively making him untouchable to magi of the modern era.
===Personal Skills===
Majestic Triumphal Return: This skill's current effect is unknown.
