@ Sandubedear

I think you're missing my point, while yes Fate had been known to put historical mortal on par with demigods(how Spartacus, an actually quite sloppy commander who is by no mean much stronger than your average gladiator, has higher STR stat than Cu Chulainn, a hero who had been known to throw friggin islands around for the lulz, even after the stat boost by Class and whatnot) boils down to the fact that an effective narrative of a Holy Grail War requires combatants who are at least comparable in power level(why Dorian Gray fails as a Fate character), it does not mean "OMFG NERF EVERYONE BECUZ WE CANT HAVE A SERVANT WHO CAN BEAT GIL OR HERC".

Nasu acknowledges that yes, Hindu NPs have the power of literal nukes like they were said to have in the legends, if Rama or Ravana is to be summoned, who is to say their NP won't turn the entire milky way into space dust, but on the other hand we have mundane humans like Kojirou whose skill to kill mundane birds are upgraded to the level that he can slash at supersonic speed to take off the enemy Servant's head before they can use any flashy booms.

And also, Gil lost to Shirou because of plot-induced stupidity.

@ Hawkeye

That's why I think Arjuna's aim should not miss only because the enemy is lucky, if it was guarded by someone with a powerful shield or someone who literally can move at supersonic speed, then that's a fair deal, but not someone who simply stands still and laugh at all his shots only because they have EX LUK.
