Frankenstein (Berserker)

Saint George (Rider)

  • Knight in Shining Armor
  • Made of Iron: His Endurance stat is high even among Servants.
  • The Paragon
  • Red Baron: The Dragon-Killing Saint.
  • Semi-Divine: His status as a Christian Saint gives him a low level of Divinity.
  • Stone Wall: To the extreme. He has A Rank magic resistance, A+ Endurance and a skill that allows him to block mental attacks. He has the Battle Continuation skill that allows him to keep fighting even if he takes a fatal injury and another skill that grants unlimited defensive power as long as he is defending someone else. His sword Ascalon grants a large defensive bonus and his horse Bayard can save him from a fatal attack once. On the other hand his Strength is abysmal at D Rank.

  • Fantastic Nuke: Brahmastra Kundala.
  • Honor Before Reason: In the Mahabharata Karna pledged himself to a noble who turned out to be evil and refused to go back on his oath. This is the cause of the discrepancy in his Character Alignment.
  • Nigh Invulnerable: Karna’s Golden Armor forged from the rays of the sun. It is said to be difficult for even a god to destroy.
  • Power At a Price: Karna’s most powerful noble phantasm can only be activated by sacrificing his Golden Armor and is only good for one shot.
