Archer (Fate/Prototype)

Archer (アーチャー) is a Servant in Fate/Prototype.

Identity
Archer is an alternate version of Gilgamesh.

Role
Archer is the prototype version of Gilgamesh that was to be used in the original Fate/stay night novel that was penned and left uncompleted. He was only briefly mentioned in notes detailing the plot of the novel, and received an expanded role in Fate/Prototype.

Abilities
Archer has two Noble Phantasms similar to Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon and Ea, Bab-ilu: Key of the King's Law (王律鍵(バヴ＝イル)) and Enki: Sword of the End (終末剣(エンキ)). Bab-ilu functions identically to the Gate of Babylon, but the actual Noble Phantasm is a tattoo which proves Kingship rather than a key-sword. It fires weapons like a machine gun from a circular pattern that appears around him. One of the main differences from Gate of Babylon is that it can be activated while he is moving.

, named after the same god as Ea, is a pair of dual blades normally worn on his back, which have the function to the turn the hilts ninety degrees to allow them to be used as knives. Upon invoking its true name, Enki takes the form of a bow. It generates an arrow that acts as a "tracer round" for the actual Enki, which is high in orbit above the earth along with five bolts. Once the arrow is fired, it acts as a homing signal for Enki, which converges with the bolts into "Star of Destruction" as it descends. Upon coming in contact with the target area, it disappears and expands into a giant magical circle that summons a tsunami to drown the target. As the sword that summons a flood, the volume in water increases each day after its activation, and after the seventh day, it turns into Utnapishtim's flood, which is a giant tsunami. Saber's Excalibur is able to win in a clash against it by vaporizing the water around him.
