The Archer vs Berserker fight we never got to see. Faker vs Mad Dog, Wrought Iron Hero vs The Black Knight, Unlimited Blade Works vs Knight of Owner.

[Synchro_HAAAAA]

My first versus thread so please be gentle senpai..

Archer: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Archer_(Fate/stay_night)

vs

Berserker: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Berserker_(Fate/Zero)

I thought about having the fight take place at 4km apart so it wouldn't be a stomp for Berserker, but it still would since Archer lost to Fate Artoria in those conditions. (In one of the versus battles on here, not in canon)

So the fight takes place in the Unlimited Blade Works Reality Marble, maybe Archer got Berserker to listen him talk about Artoria or something in between chanting. Disregarding the flavor text for the fight set up, no prior knowledge though.so Archer can't attempt to influence Berserker with knowledge of Artoria unless he uses Arondight (which presumably would reveal his idenitity to Archer as Servants know most Noble Phantasms on sight and even Shirou Emiya might know who Arondight belonged to.). Speed Unequalized because what is the point of parameters?

The way I see it this fight should be interesting. Berserker has far superior stats and a whole landscape of weapons to utilize as well as the ability to mitigate storms of blades being thrown at him. Archer has an A++ Pseudo Noble Phantasm, Eye of the Mind (True), and clear head. As well as the potential to keep up with (if not surpass) the Gate of Babylon for a short time which Knight of Owner could do for a time as well

I do have a question however, if Archer charges a Broken Phantasm and throws it Berserker, will it still explode if Berserker catches it with Knight of Owner? Is Berserker sapient enough to not catch a Broken Phantasm? Can EMIYA even charge Broken Phantasms created with UBW? Will it still take up to forty seconds? .

So in review.

-Standard Battle Assumptions

-Same Masters (that are not there of course), however Mana is not an issue. Berserker will not freeze if Kariya dies from using too much Mana for example.

-Distance is apprehensively 60 meters, this seems to be the max range of UWB (someone tell me different if that is the case.)

-Both are 6-C obviously, but UWB is already in place and Berserker can use Arondight if he feels like it? With the associated benefits and penalities afforded by doing so. For Someone's Glory and Knight of Owner being sealed and his parameters increasing by one rank each. Berserker doesn't start with a random improvised weapon because he probably won't need one.

So there you go, can either of these two sword stealers snag a win on this site. (Probably not). Did I do this right? (Probably not)

Well, if its inside UBW berserker would almost certainly win, being able to pick up and effectively use pretty much any of the nps inside the reality marble, although I recall in the f/z light novel that berserker isn't able to deal with 32 simultaneous GoB nps being launched at him, so Archer could potentially win if he does that (although its debatable as his nps are slightly downgraded). If Archer can get some long range though he would win since unlike Gilgamesh, Archer fires broken phantasms, meaning that they would just explode in Berserker's face if he attempted to grab and wield them (like normal berserkers, he's not really sapient enough to strategize, it's just his weapon skills are ingrained in his instinct) and Berserker has no long range options himself to retaliate with.

Been on my mind lately but can't EMIYA fire just about any noble phantasm from his bow while still keeping its abilities? I know this has never been shown what-so-ever but like caladbolg, can't he modify gae bolg into an arrow and fire it while keeping its conceptual tracking?

 

[Synchro_HAAAAA]

He probably could given time to develop the arrow. He seems to have his favorites and sticks to them. He also never trained with Gae Bolg. I definitely would not say he would be able for this fight.
