Role

Fate/Extra

• Rin and Lancer

1/1

He is the Servant of Rin Tohsaka, and he is fought as an opponent during the Rani VIII route.

He is first encountered in the elimination round against Berserker. When the battle turned in favor for Lancer and Rin, Rani VIII decided to commit kamikaze^WP by overloading her magic circuits and explode the whole arena. Lancer was impresses with her commitment but Rin orders Lancer to impale her etherlite heart before she explodes. Hakuno Kishinami teleported to the arena thanks to the command spell. In Rin route, as Rani was about to explode, Lancer sacrifice himself to save Hakuno and Rin. In Rani route, as Hakuno's Servants fights against Berserker, Lancer used Gáe Bolg to impale Rani's heart.

Rin and Lancer would be Hakuno's opponent in the sixth round, however they hacked the notice board so that Hakuno wouldn't know the opponent. In the arena, an unknown enemy later revealed to be Lancer was following Hakuno and the Servant with killing intention till Lancer retreated to avoid cofrontation. The next day, Lancer once again tries to kill Hakuno by luring them to the arena and use a combination of his Runes and his Noble Phantasm to kill them from a distance at the school. However Rin stop him and a large detonation was found in the arena entrance. In the second level, Rin uploads Lancer's data into an effigy. Once Rani transfer the Anti-Lancer Firewall Bypass, the effigy is easier to defeat. By defeating it, they learnt both the class and noble phantasm of Lancer. After the elimination battle with Hakuno, Lancer apologizes to Rin for failing her, though Rin blames herself for being a weaker master.

In the manga adaption, he fought against Lancer in the preliminaries round. When Hakuno ask Rin for help, Alice and Caster sent both of the master and servant to a different environment. Alice and Caster summons Jabberwock to fight, Saber and Lancer temporary join forces. No matter how much they damage Jabberwock, it regenerates causing them to think of retreat. Rin uses one of her Command Spells to force Lancer out of his limits to break a hole in the barrier to escape.

Abilities

Lancer wields his famous Gáe Bolg spear. His Noble Phantasm Barbed Spear that Pierces with Death (刺し穿つ死棘の槍, Sashi Ugatsu Shi Ibara no Yari^?) is a crimson spear feared for piercing the opponent's heart without fail when thrust. The truth is, this spear is released after the outcome of "hitting the heart", a reversal of causality. Before the spear is released, it has already hit the heart as a premise. It can be conjectured as an attack against fate itself, described as not hitting because it was released, but rather being released because it had hit. To avoid Gae Bolg, what is important is not a high Agility value, but the power to change fate before Gae Bolg is activated - a high Luck value. It is the most efficient Noble Phantasm, as it requires a low amount of magical energy to be activated and, furthermore, is a one-hit-one-kill attack.

Lancer is a Rune User (ルーン使い, Rūn-tsukai^?), a Magecraft system transmitted in Northern Europe. It has been said that, by engraving letters of power into stone, various mysteries are induced. Presently, it is a lost ancient Magecraft.

This effect which greatly boosts his strength and defense are permanent and would last till the end of battle, unless negated. The effect which would revive him will only last until his first death, unless negated.

Divinity

A demigod hero born from a god and a human. Being a half-breed of gods or spirits is not an unusual special characteristic for a Heroic Spirit of Mythology, but there are not many heroes that are called Child of Light (光の御子, Hikari no Miko^?). Probably, he is the only hero that inherited the blood of the Absolute One, the chief god that appears in that national myth.

His Divinity (神性, Shinsei^?) skill is a measure of one's Divine Spirit aptitude. At his ranking, his ability allows one to break through and defend against otherwise invincible skills, such as Enlightenment of the Sacred Fig (菩提樹の悟り, Bodaijū no Satori^?, localized as "Sri Maha Bodhiya") and Protection of the Faith (信仰の加護, Shinkō no Kago^?, localized as "Aegis of the Divine").
