Chapter 20 - Aśvatthāman

His name is Ashwatthama (ア シ ュ ヴ ァ ッ タ ー マ ン, Ashuvattāman).

Aswatama is a tough and fighting warrior. He also has steel determination and will stop at nothing to avenge his fallen friends, who are later represented in the Violation of Chivalry skill.

Full of anger and desire to fight. He marched with Karna in the Mahabharata and was called the strongest Brahmin warrior.

Full of anger, rage, keep fighting to the limit of his strength.

He is one hero who appears in Mahabharata. His father was the Brahmana hero Drona. In the great war that is told in the epic, he likes his father, sticks to Duryodhana's side, and opens a terrible conflict with the 5 Pandava brothers along with Karna.

After everyone influential on his own part, including Karna, died, he broke his promise as a soldier out of anger, and carried out a night attack. It is said that he massacred thousands of people at that time.

By the way, this guy really likes to get angry. Angry for nonsense, angry with sadness, angry with pride, etc. However, he vowed to never hate. He always wanted to be someone who raised an objection to an unreasonable world. Putting wise reasoning aside, no matter who he faced, he would calmly blow them up if they didn't convince him.

In HGW, he was the kind that considered compatibility with Masters very important. If the relationship was bad, he wouldn't hesitate to think about self-destruction in the first battle.

Even though he felt himself full of sins, he did not want instant forgiveness like using the grail.

At LB4, he was initially summoned by Pepe. However, when Arjuna Alter was instigated by Douman, his contract was seized by Arjuna and his knowledge was used to summon other Servants. The first time our group met him was when we wanted to escape from Arjuna NP. Aswatama pursued Shadow Border, received Vasavi Shakti, and was still alive despite being heavily injured.

A few chapters later, we meet him again. This time he spoke to Rama. He told me that he was cursed by Arjuna who used Vishnu's authority. As one of Vishnu's avatars, Rama was able to remove the curse and place it on his own body. Out of gratitude, he moved to our side. Using power as Shiva's avatar, he gave Karna a portion of his divine power, then trained him in the timeless dimension. He also sent Ganesha and Lakshmi Bai to the past using their second NP.

For NP gain, the best chain is AQQEx. With an NP charge at 0.58%, Quick up 30% from skill 3 level 10, assuming neither crit nor overkill, so:

Arts + Quick + Quick + Extra

= 9.28% + 6.84% + 8.35% + 4.64%

= 29.12%

For stargen, the best chain is QBQEx. With a stargen of 8.1%, Buster up 30% from skill 2 level 10, Quick up 30% from skill 3 level 10, Buster up 5% from passive, assume ga crit, so:

Quick + Buster + Quick + Extra

= 528.4% + 238% + 1048.4% + 512.4%

= (5 stars and 28.4% for 6 stars) + (2 stars and 38% for 3 stars) + (10 stars and 48.4% for 11 stars) + (5 stars and 12.4% for 6 stars)

= 22 ~ 26 star

He can do Buster chain via NPBB. With a stat at 11249 at level 80 (already 1000 Fou), Buster up 30% from skill 2 level 10, crit damage up 22% from passive, Buster up 5% from passive, divinity 215, base multiplier 0.95x, so:

NP + Buster + Buster

= NP + 23162.65 + 29937.19

NOBLE PHANTASM

1. Sudarshan Chakra Yamaraj - The Chakra that Stirs Up My Raging Flames

Rank: A +

Classification: Anti-Army

Type: Buster

Hit-Count: 5

Range: 1 ~ 50

Maximum number of targets: 500 people

Effect: Deals damage (NP1 600%) to one enemy + Removes their defensive buffs

(Defensive Buffs: Defenseup, Avoid, Invincible, Tauntstatus, Maxhpup)

Overcharge Effect: Deals extra damage to them based on own remaining HP.

(Extra Damage Formula = Multiplier Based on Overcharge (600 ~ 1000% depending on OC) * [1 - (Current HP / Max HP)])

"The oath of warriors is far since gone, and we've been corrupted! And still I raged for the corruption, and kept raging towards myself! Dash. O Chakra, Stir Up my Raging Flames - Sudarshan Chakra Yamaraj !!! "

-Archer

"Yeah, alright! I'LL KILL YOU ALL !! If I'm the warrior that brings death, I'll tear thee up with the indestructible blade. O Chakra, Stir Up my Raging Flames - Sudarshan Chakra Yamaraj !!! "

-Archer

Sudarshan Chakra Yamaraj: The Chakra that Stirs Up My Raging Flames (転 輪 よ , 憤 炎 を 巻 き 起 こ せ ス ダ ル シ ヤ ン チ ヤ ク ラ ・ ヤ ム ラ 一 ジ) is Aswatama's NP.

It is unique in that he never had it while alive. He carried a large chakra in his hand when summoned as a Servant, freely manipulated this weapon, and continued to engrave it in his memory as a warrior. In other words, all of the techniques for using the chakram he learned were self-taught, not taught by anyone.

If I'm not mistaken, this refers to the story of wanting to lift Krishna's Chakra Sudharsana, but it's not strong.

For the calculation of dmg, we first collect data. With a stat at 11249 at level 80 (already 1000 Fou), NP1 600%, Buster up 30% from skill 2 level 10, Buster up 5% from passive, divinity 215, base multiplier 0.95x, that's around 30,078.56. Not too high for a goldie. However, the NP is the same as Anne-Mary and Hijikata, which will increase as the cellphone becomes thinner. Assume that he has 1 HP left but his max HP is 1000 Fou as well, so:

OC 100% = 59,939.69

OC 300% = 69,893.4

OC 500% = 79,847.11

Really high. Anne-Mary lost. However, it is very risky if we deliberately reduce the HP to increase the damage.

2. Mahākāla Shakti - O Great Time, Revolve this Moment

Rank:?

Classification:?

Range:?

Maximun number of targets:?

There is no explanation about this NP yet, but it is NP that gives him the ability related to time. Aswatama used it to train Karna in the timeless dimension and send Ganesha + Lakhsmi Bai into the past. If we trace the term Mahakala, we can find one or two things that may be related.

Mahakala (Sanskrit: महाकाल; IAST: Mahākāla) is a common deity in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism. According to Hinduism, Mahakala is the manifestation of Shiva and is the consort of the Goddess Kali. Mahākāla also appears as a patron deity known as dharmapala in Vajrayana Buddhism. He is known as Dàhēitiān and Daaih'hāktīn (大 黑 天) in Mandarin and Cantonese, Daeheukcheon (대 흑천) in Korean, and Daikokuten (大 黒 天) in Japanese. In Sikhism Mahākāla is referred to as Kal, who was the king of Maya (magic, power, wisdom).

According to the Shaktisamgama Tantra, he is very scary. Mahakala has 4 arms, 3 eyes, and has the brightness of 10 million black flames that are able to decipher, dwelling in the middle of 8 cremation grounds. He was decorated with 8 skulls, sat on 5 corpses, holding a trident, drum, sword and sickle in his hands. He was adorned with ashes from the cremation ground and surrounded by numerous vultures and loud-sounding wolves. By her side is empress Kali, and the two of them represent the flow of time. Both Mahakala and Mahakali represent the ultimate destructive power of Brahman and they are not bound by any rules. They have the power to dissolve time and space even into themselves and exist as nothing during the decay of the universe (Pralaya). They are responsible for the decay of the universe at the end of the Kalpa. They were also responsible for exterminating evil and daemons when the other gods, and even Trimurti, failed to do so. Mahakala and Kali annihilate men, women, children, animals, the world and the entire universe without mercy because they are Kala or Time in personified form and time is not bound by anything, shows no mercy, nor awaits anything anyone or whoever. In some parts of Odisha, Jharkhand, and Dooars (in north Bengal), wild elephants are worshiped as Mahakala.

3. Brahmashirsastra - O 'Light, Show the Sea of ​​Death

Rank: EX

Classification: Anti-Land

Rank: 1 ~ 30

Maximum number of targets: All within the range

This is the ultimate weapon given by his father, Drona. Aswatama is said to have not used this weapon in any activities, but he was told he was not allowed to use it. However, Aswatama finally activated it after Duryodhana's death.

This weapon of sabotage, which possessed destructive power that eroded the world, could still be repelled by Arjuna at full force. However, the entire area around him became a barren land for 12 years.

Despite being registered as NP, he has never used it in FGO. Btw, in the Mahabharata timeline, the only ones who have this weapon are Sage Agniseva, Drona, Arjuna, and Aswatama. Only Arjuna had the knowledge on how to let go and then pull it again, while the other 3 only knew how to remove it. In terms of strength, Brahmashirsa is stronger than Vajra and Brahmastra, which is stronger than Vasavi Shakti.

ACTIVE SKILL

1. Chintamani

Rank: B

Effect: Grants self Invincibility for 1 turn + Charges own NP gauge (30% at level 10)

Cooldown: 8/7/6

A.k.a Gem of Mani, is a gem that was embedded in his forehead since he was born. With this, he was able to defend himself from demons and wild beasts. Also, at the end of his story, he handed over this stone as proof of surrender.

For gameplay, this skill makes him immune to attacks for 1 turn and allows him to get NP immediately if he has an NP starter.

2. Violating the Chivalric Code

Rank: A.

Effect: Increases own Buster performance (30% at level 10) for 3 turns + Inflicts Defense Down (20% at level 10) for 3 turns to enemy when attacking with Buster Cards for 3 attacks, 5 turns.

Cooldown: 7/6/5

The oath that arose among the warriors, in the Mahabharata, that he ultimately trampled on. Retaliation is retaliation, and the offense makes other offenses appear. Aswatama, too furious, made a dishonorable night attack, and crushed the enemy.

For gameplay, this increases the Buster's function both in damage and in other things. With this skill too, he will give def down to enemies who are attacked with his Buster card (similar to Hokusai, but only for 3 hits).

3. Maharatha

Rank: A +

Effect: Increases own Quick performance (30% at level 10) for 3 turns + Increases own critical damage (30% at level 10) for 3 turns when attacking with Quick Cards for 3 attacks, 5 turns.

Cooldown: 7/6/5

A.k.a Warrior of the Emperor comes from his anecdote as the best warrior who appeared in the Mahabharata, worshiped on a par with Karna and Arjuna. By combining this skill with the Violation of Chivalric Code and Rudra Awatara, he became more than a mad warrior, surpassing even a Berserker.

For gameplay, this skill increases the Quick card function both in damage, stargen, etc. Similar to skill 2, this skill gives something when a certain card is used and is only valid for 3 hits. If skill 2 debuffs the enemy, then this skill gives him a crit dmg up every time he attacks with a Quick card. This is of course suitable because his class (Archer) allows him to scrape easily.

During the time when I was alive, I could only reach my arms out towards this weapon.

I still desire strength.

I still desire the strength to protect you.

I will protect, protect, and continue to protect ――― until the day I die in battle.
