Oh yeah, Armor of Fafnir is "built-in" armor NP unlike Constantine's NP. Makes sense Siegfried able to tank it.
If anything this shows how bullshit Astolfo and his hippogriff is, seeing he's able to evade most of those arrows and dealing double kill to Tametomo
As Vespa stated earlier(So I don't seem like I'm repeating him), Armor of Fafnir basically subtracts Ranks that are able to damage it before it becomes actual damage(i.e. a Rank A Noble Phantasm that bypasses Armor of Fafnir is then subtracted by the B Rank requirement = E Rank on Damage).
So it's a conceptual buff.
And as Vespa also stated, Hippogriff always was stupid because it literally dimension shifts(Okita Alter can do it too which is why she seems to vanish in her ingame battle animations) which was why it was able to avoid Tametomo's shots.
So how strong is Astolfo anyway?![]()
Weakest of the Paladins bar none even with Monstrous Strength but has the far more ridiculous NPs of most(outside of Roland and his stupid conceptual bullshit skin defense and Durandal and Charlemagne's Joyuese Orde)
