Independent Action (単独行動, Tandoku Kōdō?, localized as "Independence"EX) is the ability to remain independent even when rejecting the Magical Energy supply from one's Master; the ability that allows for action even in the absence of the Master. Independent Action is the Class Skill of the Archer and Faker classes.

At higher ranks, it is also possible to remain for extended periods of time in this world without an established contract. It is both useful and troublesome depending on the disposition of the Servant and the rank of Independent Action. Acting in autonomy from the Master's Magical Energy supply, the Master can concentrate their own Magical Energy on large spells, or the Servant will be fine even in the case they cannot supply Magical Energy due to injury. The downside is that they can be harder to control and keep by their side, making the only true way to command them is by utilizing Command Spells.

Rank User(s)
EX Kiso Yoshinaka, Noah, Super Orion
Artoria Pendragon Alter (Swimsuit)
The employer to be taken care of is still around, but that is a separate matter. The servicing spirit of a maid should be free... something spontaneous, and not something to be forced into by someone else; such is the conviction that let Alter gain this fearsome Independent Action Skill. Because of this Skill, her normal parameters are just slightly lower than usual.[1]
Ashwatthama
The ability to act even in the absence of a Master. As long as Incarnation of Rage continues, Ashwatthama will head anywhere to defeat the enemy.
Paris
Paris himself does not possess the Independent Action skill, however, because Apollo is attached to his Saint Graph Archer possesses this fearsome ability. At EX rank, Independent Action allows for nearly any act, whether related to combat or otherwise, to be undertaken without support from the Master (short of repeated use of his Noble Phantasm).
Gilgamesh (Fate/EXTRA CCC)
The Servant can operate without a Master. However, to use Noble Phantasms of great magical energy consumption, backup from the Master is necessary.[2]
Sieg
A subspecies of Servant possession. Other than requiring magical energy whenever he goes into combat, he is no different than any other human being in all aspects. Normally, he would also be of a typical human age, but...
Surtr (Lostbelt)
He’s able to accomplish incinerating all land on Earth without receiving a mana supply. As Ophelia's servant, Surtr doesn't possess any special ability such as Independent Manifestation or Independent Action. Thus, breaking the contract between Ophelia and Surtr renders him just like another Servant without a Master.
Meltryllis (Swimsuit)
The ability to be self-reliant for a while even if the Magical Energy supply from her Master is cut. As an Alter Ego that is "a different aspect of a certain being", she is capable of acting independently even without a Master. Having awakened to not only ballet but also figure skating, her "Star Upon a Stage" has been further refined. Before her charisma, the contractor would surely rather be the Servant who supports her. Perhaps.
Gilgamesh (Ruler)
As a Ruler and the Observer of the Ritual, he does not have a Master and is free to act as he pleases.
A++ Thia Escardos
That much is obvious because he's a living being, but even if he was a Servant, he would still be able to operate for a long time.
Ishtar (Fate/strange Fake)
Because she's currently descended in and fused with a homunculus body.[3]
A+ The Servant can operate without a Master. With a Rank of A+ that exceeds even A, the support of a Master is unnecessary even while unleashing a large amount of Magical Energy. It is an ability that bends the rules and allows for the continued materialization of Servants even after the conclusion of a Holy Grail War.
James Moriarty, Gray, Calamity Jane
Gilgamesh (Fate/stay night)
Gilgamesh gained this level of Independent Action by being showered with the contents of the Holy Grail, resulting in him being completely incarnated and granting him the ability to remain materialized after a Holy Grail War. He would continue to survive as an existence with a physical body.[4]
Euryale
Euryale has a high ranked Independent Action Skill; the goddess is essentially free.[5]
Orion (Artemis)
Despite the ability to act independently, Orion cannot do any action without Artemis.[6]
Fujino Asagami
It's not like she prefers solitude, somehow or other, she has a bad habit of taking strolls by herself. Tailing is her strong point. Running out of magical power should be extremely painful to her, but since her sense of pain is weak, she does not notice it.
Florence Nightingale (Santa)
The ability to stand independent for a while without the supplying magical power from a Master.

She fights all alone on her mission.

Ushiwakamaru (Swimsuit)
There were many animal friends at the mountain of Kurama. That’s why I’m quite fine even if I’m alone!
A It is possible to take action even without a Master. However, to use Noble Phantasms of great magical energy consumption, backup from the Master is necessary. At Rank A, it is possible for a Servant to stay in the world for about a week without a Master.[2][4]

EMIYA (Assassin)
He was accustomed to a life of conducting like a person who was always alone, so he was given this Skill.[7]
Shiki Ryougi (Assassin)
"Maybe it doesn't matter if I have a Master, or something. Independent Action is enough to make you think of these things in such a manner. However, whether or not I have enough magical energy, I disappear when it gets lonely, so a Master is essential Mikiya-kun!"[8]
Meltryllis
An Alter Ego which exists as "another aspect of an existence" can act alone even without a Master. Meltryllis is more geared towards Independent Action, but this seems to be due to her heart which finds "an étoile (star) shining on the stage all by herself" beautiful.
Mysterious Heroine XX
It’s unthinkable that she was a former Saber class, but she has inherited the skill she had in the class from before becoming a Foreigner without change.

「That’s because, in severe missions, cool-headed self-assessment is required at times」, she herself is convinced with a triumphant look.

Amour
Caren C. Hortensia, also being a "Preacher of Love", serves not only her Master.

Under the will of God, with her mission to bring great amounts of love to people, she isn't bound by her Master's circumstances. FREEDOM.

B+ Romulus-Quirinus
Fundamentally, those who have been bound as a chief god and the highest god can’t exist on the world… But, Romulus-Quirinus has purposely lowered the rank on his own.
B It is possible for a Servant to stay in the world for two days without a Master. However, this is the ideal value achieved by maximally conserving mana and avoiding battle and Noble Phantasm usage.[4]
Astolfo (Rider), Nikola Tesla, Tawara Touta, Tristan, Erice Utsumi, Illyasviel von Einzbern (Swimsuit), Iskandar's Shadow
Oda Nobunaga (Archer)
"Seriously, it's a talent for reconnaissance soldiers!"[9]
EMIYA (Archer)
In addition, even if EMIYA’s spiritual core sustains lethal damage, he can still survive for a short period.[4]
"Old Man of the Mountain"
This swordsman, who attained a faith pure to the extent of shaving off his meat and scraping out his internal organs, is capable of acting at his own discretion by pure will alone.[10]
Kingprotea
Protea, who has a powerful Mana Core, can preserve her own Saint Graph even without a Master.

For Protea, the Master is not "a necessary keystone to bound her / a source of mana supply", but just "the one who summoned her".

In the case that a Master succeeded in summoning her in a Holy Grail War, the "duty to supply the Servant with mana" would disappear for that Master.

It depends on the Master whether they see it as an advantage or as a predicament.

Samson
The ability to act without Magical Energy from a Master. At Rank B, materialization can be maintained for 2 days without a Master. During the events of the Waxing Moon Ritual, Samson didn't have a Master. However, unlike the other Stray Servants, he is an exception that didn't get weakened as a result
Zhou Yu
The ability to act without energy from a Master. At Rank B, materialization can be maintained for 2 days without a Master (Power increases while on a ship)
C It is possible for a Servant to stay in the world for one day without a Master.[4]
Arash, Chloe von Einzbern, Helena Blavatsky (Swimsuit), Napoleon, Passionlip, Oda Nobukatsu, Saitou Hajime
Alcides
Alcides' original Rank in this Skill was A, but it was lowered in compensation of obtaining an Avenger Class Skill due to the Distortion Skill.[11]
Medusa (Rider)
Since Medusa can also obtain mana by drinking blood, she can prey on humans as the situation demands and extend this duration.[4]
No Name
By becoming "Nameless", STR and LCK has improved somewhat.[2]
Ishtar Ashtart
S Ishtar, who was born as a goddess, raised as a human being, and awakened as a Servant, doesn't consume magical energy from the World without contracting with a Master
E- Soldiers of Ionioi Hetairoi, Shinsengumi Troops of the Flag of Sincerity
Materialization is only possible for 30 turns.[12]

  2. 2.0 2.1 2.2 Fate/EXTRA material
  3. [v] Fate/strange Fake - Volume 8 - Servant status: Ishtar [T]

    Ishtar is not a Servant and the stats presented are based on the supposition of "what if they counted as a Servant".

    Class: ???
    Master: Herself
    True name: Ishtar (vessel: Filia)
    Gender: Female
    Height/Weight: Unknown
    Alignment: Lawful Good

    Strength: C
    Endurance: C
    Agility: A
    Magic: EX
    Luck: A
    Noble Phantasm: EX

    Class Skills
    Magic Resistance: A
    Independent Action: A++
    Because she's currently descended in and fused with a homunculus body.

    Lingering Echo of the Goddess: B+++
    A Skill equal to Divine Core of the Goddess, but since she is not the actual goddess, instead the lingering echo of a blessing (curse) that the goddess left in the world to replicate herself, it's not exactly the same.
    She essentially burned a program on the planet that would generate a copy of herself if specific conditions were met.
    Its rank is B+++ because she falls somewhere in between a Pseudo-Servant and an actual Servant.
    Mental interference attacks generally don't affect her.

    Personal Skills
    Manifestation of Beauty: EX
    The goddess of beauty advened in an Einzbern homunculus. Her charm power can affect magical and inanimate objects and even the laws of physics, but she can't use them against concepts related to the underworld due to a poor compatibility match-up.
    She feels no need to use this against humans since they automatically worship her.
    The cause of Haruri's devotion was the goddess' natural charm, not the charm from the Skill.

    Mana Burst: A+
    She charms the land to directly draw magical energy from it, then outputs it without sparing any.

    Shining Great Crown: A-
    Due to her being a lingering echo, the power of her Authories is somewhat lower than what Ishtar had in the Age of Gods.

    Noble Phantasms
    Jabal Hamrin Breaker: The Hammer of the Skies Makes Frontiers Kneel
    Rank: A+++
    Range: 999-???
    Maximum Targets: ???
    It's said that when goddess Ishtar physically flattened Mt. Ebih, a mountain even the gods paid respects to, she gripped its summit before driving in her spear. This Noble Phantasm is a feat that represents this eagle grip on the summit. She strikes swinging down Cita, her warhammer, after charging it with magical energy and Authority. The blow is, quite literally, pressure from the skies forcing the world to kneel.

    Gugalanna Strike(Bull of Heaven): Outrage
    Rank: EX
    Range: 999
    Maximum Targets: 999
    The strongest divine beast in Ishtar's command. Unlike the regular Gugalanna Strike, which temporarily calls for him to land a blow with this front leg, this version uses him as a permanently manifested avatar of hurricanes. Since she is a lingering echo, not the actual goddess, she didn't have her divine beast with her, but she shallowly used her goddess powers to grab him from some unfortunate timeline without asking for permission. In this point specifically, she can be considered an avatar of Ishtar's tyrannical side.

    以下は、「 サーヴァントであったとしたら」という定に基づくステータスです。

    CLASS ???
    マスター:自分自身
    真名:イシュタル (依り代・フィリア)
    性別:女
    身長・体重:不明
    属性:秩序・善

    筋力:C
    耐力:C
    敏捷:A
    魔力:EX
    幸運:A
    宝具:EX

    クラス別能力:
    対魔力:A
    単独行動: A++
    ホムンクルスの身体に降りて融合している状態なので。

    女神の残響: B+++
    女神の神核と同等のスキルだが、女神本体ではなく、女神が自分の存在の 複写を世界への祝福 (呪い) として残した残響なので微妙に異なる。
    特定の条件が揃うと自分のコピーを生み出すプログラムを星に焼き付けた ような形である。
    疑似サーヴァントと本物の狭間に位置する為このランクとなっている 精神干渉系の攻撃などは基本的に通じない。

    固有スキル
    美の顕現:EX
    アインツベルンのホムンクルスに降臨した美の女神。 その魅了の力は魔物や無機物、 物理法則にすら影響を及ぼすが、相性の悪い冥界関連の概念などには行使できない。 人間は自動的に自分を崇めるものなので使う必要は無いと思っている。
    ハルリを心酔させたのはスキルとしての魅了ではなく、女神としての素の魅力である。

    魔力放出:A+
     土地を魅了して直接魔力を引き出し、それを出し惜しみなく放出する。

    輝ける大王冠:A-
     残響なので、 神代のイシュタル女神よりはやや権能の力は落ちる。

    宝具
    八荒拝跪す天空の鍵(ジュベルハムリン・プレイカー)
    ランク:A+++
    レンジ:999〜???
    最大捕捉:???
    かつて神々すら敬意を払ったエビフ山を文字通り叩き潰した際に、 槍を打ち込む前に山頂を 鷲づかみにしたと言われているイシュタル女神。 この宝具はその「山頂を鷲づかみにする」と 表現される御業。 戦鎚シタに魔力と権能を込めて振り下ろすその一撃は、 まさに力ずくで 世界を跪かせる天空からのプレッシャーである。

    天の牡牛(グガランナ・ストライク)凶猛(アウトレイジ)
    ランク:EX
    レンジ:999
    最大捕捉:999
    女神イシュタルの遣わした最強の神獣。 一時的に呼び出して前足による一撃を食らわせる 通常のグガランナ・ストライクとは違い、恒常的に顕現させる事で台風の化身として使役する。 女神本人ではなく残響なので自分自身と神獣は共に無かったのだが、 生半可に女神の力を 行使して余所様の世界線から勝手に持ち出した。 今回に限ればイシュタル女神の横暴な一面の化身と言えるのかもしれない。
