hmm, now i wonder. if what he just placed something on hs heels so archers arrows could insane get to his heels, like a magic enhanced steel or something

[Trubo]

Could you repeat that in English?

[venomking]

like what if he placed a magic enhanced metal made by his master why don't they do that. i mean if emiya can make with his trash ability in reinforcement paper block an NP strike a servant five times, then a normal mage could certainly do it right?

[asterism42]

"He can't cover his heel" doesn't seem like a condition with loopholes.

For the record, he is actually covering his heels

[Rafflesiac]

Because his sanic speed NP explicitly forbids covering his heel.

[Trubo]

Was there a Blacksmith-type hero in that war?

[Altaris]

The Trojan War or the Great HGW ?

[asterism42]

In Apocrypha? Nope. Closest was Mr Golem, probably. Semi can only make poisons.

[Altaris]

Well Shakespeare can Enchant

[asterism42]

Oh yeah I forgot he could do that.

[Tobias]

Because his sanic speed NP explicitly forbids covering his heel.

So if he took a blow there which wounded him but didn't kill him, he would need heeling

[castor212]

Maybe in this case expose just mean "not protected by muh OP chariot"

Or smth

[You]

Well Shakespeare can Enchant

that's just really purple prose

[Arashi_Leonhart]

like what if he placed a magic enhanced metal made by his master why don't they do that.

Yes, because things made by modern magi are really helpful against Servants.

This is sarcasm, btw

i mean if emiya can make with his trash ability in reinforcement paper block an NP strike a servant five times

No

then a normal mage could certainly do it right?

Please refer to the visual novel for more information as to why Shirou is, in fact, abnormal when it comes to strengthening things related to battle.

I'm a bit confused about some of the skills that mention "turns" like Disengage and Self-Replenishment. There aren't any turns in the visual or light novels because they're not turn-based games. So in-universe, how long is a turn? When do the turns begin? When do they end? Is there any information about this?

FGO gameplay is deepest lore.

[HHakyu]

What Mizukume said.

Maybe its as simple as the turn-system in classical rpg's: a turn ends once everybody involved makes a move, which is basically the FGO gameplay.

The answer is "Yes". This answer also applies to questions such as:

What does 'range' mean exactly?
How do mana levels work?
Why are so many Servants abilities not on the stat Sheet?

[Qinglong]

IH also has turns mentioned in it IIRC
