How the hell does a skinny blonde girl best this towering behemoth of muscle and unstoppable rage?

magic, honor, and the power of Excalibur, you stupid faggot

Herc can't be the EX
No one can beat the EX

Prana burst.
Read the VN.

Saber is too pretty to lose.

>How the hell does a skinny blonde girl best this towering behemoth of muscle and unstoppable rage?

She doesn't, she gets her ass kicked in the VN even with Archer's help. She can manage not to get rekt in an instant because he's crazy and lost all his technique, something that is a main point for Heracles, he's insanely good with Bravery and Nine Lives.

The anime pandered to Saber/Zerofags.

Also Heracles wasn't even using his ME.

Nero?

I know right

...

To be fair, had Saber been in top condition she would have wrecked Berserker.

shit anime adaptation filler

He blew his entire super power load on "Chain that is totally specialized in ganking/restraining members of this particular group of enemies".

Granted, most people just don't plain have the talent/level of crazy to really DO that, but having that kind of intense restriction on the ability makes it much, much stronger. It's also all but suicidal in it's specificity.

It leaves him relying on the fundamentals Nen wise, which is fine, but a huge disadvantage when most serious fighters or even Nen users have a generally useful ability. I mean, he's not as gimped as a guy who's special power is like "fortune telling" or "removing Curses", but he loses utility badly.

Then you have a certain other character who got so Mad he blew all his loads forever.

Power of friendship x2, the grail x2, some magic sticks and Excalibur x10

same way a 17 year old boy with no training did.

Mad Enhancement takes away his intelligence for raw rage and physical power.
Saber lead him to the graveyard where she could have cover for her tiny little girl body to hide and gank him from around gravestones and trees.
She rushed him with a little excaliblast and prana bursts.
Her sword is a high enough rank to cut through his skin.

In Fate, without Archer's back-up this is what happens to her.

I'm sure Gon will find a way to use his nen again, Kurapika needs to have really strict conditions or else he would be a gary stu.

That's not what happens in the doujins.

because she's a cute moe girl and the mascot of waifufag while hercules is your generic rage violent big dude. its like you never watch anime at all.

Thanks to shirou help.

underrated post

Well to be fair, she had a double-handicap.

First she has a shitty Master, so her stats are compromised and she can't use her Noble Phantasm freely. Second, she can't even replenish mana. Third, she was pierced in the shoulder by Gae Bolg earlier and she hasn't recovered from that. In fact, she doesn't recover from that injury until after Lancer dies.

I'd say she did pretty well to survive for as long as she did.

Saber sucked the author's dick.

She's a dragon.

she is a big girl

This. Have people forgotten Saber didn't get any prana from Shirou? Worse, he sucked her prana because he was a retard who got himself nearly killed and Avalon healed him using her magical energy? They also forgot that until Cu died, Saber had her internal organs destroyed by the Gae bulge curse. While they believe Archer was still "injured" when he fought Herakles (he wasn't, he confirmed he was fully healed to Shirou a night before). Saber was the one who was massively nerfed.

On her top condition, even with her injury, she could one shot Herakles according to UBW narration.

Avalon's recovery abilities don't really passively take any energy from Saber. As proof, near the end of the Fate route, Saber has to directly replenish Avalon's store of mana because it was nearly drained dry.

Uh, they do: they work taking her magical energy. It's in CM and Fate Zero. Saber doesn't realize this.

It stops working when she's not around because it doesn't longer have any magical energy. Shirou was saved by a leftover of her magical energy. It's canon. Shirou was a liability to her. Best for her if someone killed him and gave her back Avalon and she got a real Master like Rin or Ilya.

>As proof, near the end of the Fate route, Saber has to directly replenish Avalon's store of mana because it was nearly drained dry.

That isn't how Avalon works. You're mistaking Avalon with how she had to replenish herself. That or really bad translation. Avalon is her NP and works by her prana. It takes her energy when it heals any of her Masters.

Shirou's the one who saved Saber. Also, Saber gets as +100 motivation bonus through the power of love.

After Saber saved Shirou from Kotomine, Saber noted that Avalon with out of mana, hence why Shirou's wounds weren't healing, and replenished its store of mana driectly.
