Servants under the Holy Grail War system are attributed with various Skills that reflect the abilities they had in life, or sometimes those granted by the specific class container in which the Heroic Spirit was placed in.

## Class Skills

Each Class is granted certain Skills upon summoning. They generally reflect the abilities that they had in life, but they will not always have had the corresponding Skills. Even if the Heroic Spirit did not have the abilities in life, they will still get a lower ranked version of the Skill automatically if they fit the class. Conversely, it is possible for a Servant of a different class to gain any of these skills as Personal Skills, as long as they reflect the abilities that they had in life.
