Rounds of Lionheart: Play the Lion's Melody on the Round Cross (円き十字に獅子を奏でよ, Maruki Jūji ni Shishi o Kanadeyo?) is a Noble Phantasm possessed by Richard the Lionheart, one of his two trump cards along with Excalibur. It is an ability to materialize those with whom he had a bond in life by utilizing his own Saint Graph as a catalyst. Those summoned can be his attendants, retinue, or even mentors, and those recorded in the Throne of Heroes as Heroic Spirits like himself are no exception. The number he can bring forth changes depending on his Master's quantity of magical energy and the land of summoning's foundation.[2][1] Within the True and False Holy Grail Wars, the number summoned is seven. Upon Saber's summoning, Enkidu senses the presence of seven souls serving one powerful soul. All are present when he is first summoned, some kneeling before Saber and others appearing inhuman. They are only visible for a moment before coalescing into Saber.[3]
Those who respond to his summons do so voluntarily, bringing them directly from the Throne of Heroes if they are Heroic Spirits.[2] Those that are Heroic Spirits are manifested in a condition weaker than a normal summoning.[1] They interact with the world from within Richard's shadow, able to launch attacks from the shadow and provide him tools to utilize.[3] He can communicate with them directly for input, and only he can hear them. They can also act without his input to respond to attacks in Richard's blind spots or protect him, but they cannot manifest in a practical sense. They would require a vast quantity of energy for continuous manifestation, so it is not possible to operate within the norm of Heroic Spirits.[1] Each has their own mental world in which they reside, which is able to be shown to Richard's Master.[2] Richard takes care to hide this Noble Phantasm, even telling Ayaka to pretend that he is talking to himself when she overhears him muttering to someone not informing him of something sooner.[4]
Upon their manifestation, Richard identifies his associates using Servant Classes.[5]
- Assassin: Loxley - Loxley is skilled at concealing his presence once manifested, and was able to fire an arrow laced with powerful paralysis poison from Richard's shadow to knock away False Assassin's hand.[3]
- Pierre Basile - A master archer who appears as a man heavily bandaged from head to toe, with a crossbow in his hand. Despite having been the one to kill Richard, he has agreed to manifest, and his eyes between the bandages appears as piercing as the eyes of a hawk that has sighted prey while also showing kindness.[2]
- William - Possesses the ability to manifest with a horse and lance,[5] and to manifest just the horse for Richard to use.[2] Possibly William MarshalWP or William LongchampWP.
- Caster: ...ue (…ュエさん, ...Ue-san?) (Full name obscured)[6] - A magus who is able to provide a sphere or droplets of water appearing with light emanating.[7] They are also able to enhance Richard's considerable speed further with magecraft, and to allow him to jump in the air without a foothold, and to heal him at the cost of using a large amount of magical energy.[8] They smile faintly upon Richard choosing to engage False Archer in combat.[9] The visible second half is spelled the same as Vivian's alternate name Nimue (ニミュエ?).[6]
- Indifferent-seeming Swordsman - Briefly shown upon Richard choosing to engage False Archer in combat.[9] Also lends Richard one of his many swords upon encountering False Rider.[7]

Noble Phantasms
■ Excalibur: Ever-Distant Sword of Victory
Rank: D–A+
Type: Anti-Army Noble Phantasm
Range: 1~99
Maximum Targets: 1~1000
A Mystery that Richard obtained in life as a result of his adoration of Arthurian legend and his efforts to live as its successor. Its power became a Noble Phantasm by merging with accounts that he named every weapon he held “Excalibur.” Richard is able to wield any and all weapons he holds as Excalibur. Its power varies from weapon to weapon, but never equals the genuine “holy sword of the planet”—not even if he were to hold the real Excalibur.
■ Rounds of Lionheart: Play the Lion on the Round Cross
Rank: A
Type: Anti-Army Noble Phantasm
Range: —
Maximum Targets: —
A Noble Phantasm that uses Richard’s Spirit Origin as a catalyst to materialize individuals he had ties to in life as servants, followers, guides, etc. The number he is able to summon varies depending on his Master’s supply of magical energy and the land he is summoned in. He is capable of summoning individuals recorded in the Throne as Heroic Spirits, but in that case, they will materialize in a weaker state than if summoned normally. They sometimes assist Richard, but because actually continuing to materialize them consumes an enormous quantity of magical energy, it is almost impossible to utilize them like ordinary Heroic Spirits.CLASS セイバー

■ 永久に遠き勝利の剣
ランク:D〜A+
種別:対軍宝具
レンジ:1〜99
最大捕捉:1〜1000
生前に得たとある『神秘』と、手に持ったものを何でも「エクスカリバー」と名付けていたという、極度のアーサー王フリークであった逸話が複合された宝具。本人が言及しているが、ランスロットの宝具『騎士は徒手にて死せず』と性質が似ている。なお本質的には"模倣"である為、威力はいずれも本物の『星の聖剣』には及ばない。たとえ本物の聖剣を握れたとしても、所有者と同等の威力を引き出す事は出来ない模様。
■ 円き十字に獅子を奏でよ
ランク:A
種別:対軍宝具
レンジ: —
最大捕捉:—
自身の霊基を触媒として、生前にセイバーと縁のあった者を従者・協力者として顕現させる宝具。呼び出せる数はマスターの魔力量や召喚される土地によって変化するが。英霊の座に記録されている者も呼び出せるが、その場合は本来の英霊としての性能よりも弱体化する。ただし、サーヴァントのように現界させ続けるには莫大な魔力が必要となるため、通常のマスターでは不可能。 - ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 Fate/strange Fake Volume 3 - Chapter 8: Day 1, Afternoon (2) "The Wandering King's Rock'n'Roll"
