Iskandar Rider

# General Ability Overview

Is the strongest fighter alongside Gilgamesh in the fourth holy grail war and a challenge from him is worth Gilgamesh's full power to respond with, despite being weakened from losing one of his noble phantasms. He is an elite top servant easily on par with karna and on the level of Artoria Pendragon and above Gawain. Due to the mooncell's differences, his ability is restrained in Fate/Extella, however he is still a rival for Altera and made her break a sweat. although he lost as he approached the fight as a warmup. He claims that while karna is as strong as Gilgamesh, he would have no trouble dealing with him on earth. He defeats Gawain and Karna in his sidestory. Gawain says he and elizabeth must cooperate to fight him off and needed the help of Nero, Tamamo and Charlemagne alongside Hakuno to win, despite Iskandar using only the materialized troops. Nero claims that he's too strong to appear in a random encounter, and says despite having two thirds of the regalia and Hakuno's support, winning against a rusty Iskandar again might not be possible.

Even without its true name release it is able to cripple berserker lancelot with one hit, who has the STR rank of A. while weakened due to iskandar having lost his magical energy, its true name release, Via Expugnatio is able to close 100 meters in the time it takes to activate excalibur, with much more force than when he attacked lancelot, and may have won if not for waver. it has a protection field in the driver's spot[40].This noble phantasm gets a bonus modifier due to military tactics, and additional modifiers if faced with an anti or anti fortress noble phantasms[40].

## Ionioi Hetairoi - EX Anti Army

Using a reality marble whose sight is burned inside each of his soldier's memory, Iskandar summons his entire army and attacks the enemy with them. This army is in tens of thousands and are each servants and named heroes. It consists of cavalry that can keep up with bucephalus which is faster than Gordius Wheel, and is used for trampling the enemy, or soldiers firing off javelins or attacking as foot soldiers. Although they dont have classes, skills and Noble Phantasms, there are several soldiers stronger than Iskandar in the army[40]. They have Independant Action Rank E, allowing materialization for a maximum of 30 turns. they can be materialized outside the bounded field aswell. This reality marble is maintained by the army's magical energy combined, and over half of them dying can make the reality marble break down. Aside from the firepower, it is able to relocate the enemy into an advantageous position for Iskandar. This noble phantasm gets a bonus modifier due to military tactics, and additional modifiers if faced with anti army or anti fortress noble phantasms[40]. It rivals the Gate of Babylon in firepower, and makes Artoria afraid at its strength and cannot guarantee a victory even with a full power excalibur. It made Gilgamesh, who also had an EX rank Noble Phantasm, go quite after seeing such a radiant army. It is worth Gilgamesh's full power to respond with.
