Editing Nasuverse (section)

====The Knight Classes====
* [[Fighter|Saber]], for swordsmen. "Saber" is a class and not a weapon because Nasu probably did an Engrish and thought the -er ending meant it was a name for someone trained in swordplay the same way archer is a name for someone who does archery. Considered the "strongest" class, mostly because it's well-rounded and heroes who qualify tend to be pretty strong and well-known, or the strongest incarnations of themselves. Among the most bloated of the classes, but some notable examples include Sigurd, Gawain, Rama, Julius Caesar and Lancelot. In FGO, Sabers beat Lancers and are in turn beaten by Archers, and focus on sudden burst damage through critical hits.
* [[Lance|Lancer]], a class for fast guys with long poking sticks. Lancers are commonly drawn from Gaelic myth. Their being Irish is something fans take the piss out of really often, because most of them have absolutely horrible luck. Despite the name, [[Derp|most, if not all, of the servants summoned as this class technically use]] [[Spear]]s and [[Polearm]]s rather than proper jousting lances (hell, out of the 40 or so Lancers available in F/GO, only ''two'' of them use actual lances, horseback and all, and they're technically the same (wo)man). Some other potential Lancers include Percival, Romulus, Hektor and Leonidas. Strong against Archers and weak against Sabers.
* [[Ranger|Archer]], the biggest meme of a class. The Archer from the first entry in the series spends most of his fights dual-wielding swords, and the Archer in the prequel doesn't even use a bow, preferring to fire swords as projectiles with magic. To Nasu's credit, Archers introduced in later titles would actually use bows (and in a couple of cases, a sling or a crossbow) as per their class title, and lore introduced in F/GO would acknowledge the growing prevalence of firearms. Still, the meme persists as it also includes the likes of [[Wat|jewelry-throwers, dolpin trainers]], and [[Dakka|Nerf Gatling Guns]]. Their signature class skill is Independent Action, making them less-reliant on their Master sugar momma/daddies for magical energy and better able to operate off on their own. The only catch is that this makes Archers more likely to work on their own agendas with or without their master's blessing. Aside Gilgamesh, some other noteworthy Archers are Tristan, Arjuna, Robin Hood and even Billy the Kid. F/GO sees Archers beat Sabers and get beaten by Lancers, and their abilities mean that their crits hit harder compared to other classes.
