@Xhominid The Fool Remind me what makes Servants FTL again? Trying to get a better understanding of this.
Good question, made a Threadmark primarily going over Servant speeds here:
Alright, I fully finished Ivan The Terrible's section alongside the Oprinchnki since it's ultimately just another of his Noble Phantasms and added in some extras I may have missed and changed some stuff around. I actually plan on adding LB Anastasia next as I actually forgot that LB1 did give...
onelastforum.com
But to get to the actual nitty gritty of what makes Servants FTL is these things here:
1. The fact that Excalibur is described many times as "Light" as Example put out. This is ALSO finally clarified with Holmes' Magical Beams also being Light in LB5.2 which also mean that he also uses Light based attacks through his Magnifying Glasses.
2. The instance of Episode 0 of Fate/Babylonia having Galahad!Mash dodge a bunch of lasers pointblank before they hit her.
As well as Archimedes Noble Phantasm which has him being able to react fast enough with his Mirrors to refract the Sunlight where he wants it to hit:
3. The fact that Meltryllis explicitly hits FTL speeds in the CCC Collab Event in FGO and BB describes that Servants can very much hit FTL speeds but it's the distance(most people never factor this part in despite BB being very straight up with it in the Event) that ends up frying Servants within keeping it up:
While I have it in my section,
@ChaosTheory123 has his own section about it here:
onelastforum.com
And then there's Lostbelt 5.2 which explicitly has Dioscuri move Lightspeed then Faster Than Light and Castor(who does the latter) only hurt himself a bit doing so, not instantly disintegrating like some places like SB believe should happen(even when it didn't with Meltryllis)
And before someone tries to go "But muh Lostbelt versions", I have them on English and their profile explicitly notes that using their Noble Phantasms allow them to nearly regain their lost Divinity... which would include their Authority over "Light" which means they can still hit those speeds even as Chaldean Servants.
So there's 3 easy examples right there of FTL Servants(Not counting things like CCC Kiara sending them to another Galaxy and them returning in Minutes under their own speed and not disintegrating due to the Mythological Wear MC they have).
