Plus you know the whole being able to dunk from [I forget how long his arm is] without even having to jump

Isn't there some rule about not being allowed to score without the ball having crossed a line or other? I never paid enough attention at gym class.

Shower thought: Picture your favorite Nasuverse badasses. KotR, Cu, Emiya, Iskander...*

Now picture your average NBA team. They're all a head or so taller, on average.

Now, for added hilarity, picture an angry Artoria/Nero/Mordred. At about waist height.

*King Hassan is, iirc the only exception, coming in at 2m tall and change.

[hayate]

Bunyan and Ivan, where art thou? XD

[Deathhappens]

For reference, the average NBA player would be ~10 cm (half a head, give or take some hair) above CasGilles. So about level with Babbage's shoulder.

Servants don't need height, they have acceleration

So Rider Medusa...

Welp, she'll solo the entire game.

And with a handicap that she plays blind too if she wears the blinding mechanism.

[warellis]

Yea. And she also uses "gorgon magecraft" in her one of the sisters interludes.

Are there videos of this in action? This magecraft of Medusa's.

[Iceblade44]

Her summoning her Pegasus, that involves the use of magecraft. Also her Bounded Field is also technically magecraft as well

so here is a thought that crossed my mind regarding Mystery

now we know that Mystery has a durability component to it, like with the dragon "peace peace" girl and with stuff like the fort in the lostbelt in russia being made out of a 400 year old tree which lead to it being as durable as metal. what other instances of this aspect of Mystery being highlighted do we have? Lugh beowulf perhaps? since punching him causes your limbs to explode.

anyway, that made me think about how servants have high mystery and also cant be damaged by most weapons in the world, but there are also several defensive magecrafts that can be overcome with brute military force, like Kayneth's mercury losing to a missile and potentially how his workshop got bombed.

with that in mind, could it not perhaps be the case that servants not getting armed by military weapons be a durability matter derived from the mystery of their vessels and not just an issue of things without magical properties not being able to interact with them enough to cause harm?

[fire_mountain_30]

if the answer is simply no, then does that mean that mystery only hardens beings with regular physical bodies like magical beasts and such?

[Rafflesiac]

Firstly, no.

Secondly, being old isn't one-to-one equal for buff, nor is mystery. Just look at the 400+ year old Kunesada Kuji that broke after one use.

[Arashi_Leonhart]

Dragons and trees are durable, who'd'a thought?

[Menwearpink]

Phantasmal beasts get stronger with age.

some items pick up a bit of mystery like Shiki’s sword because they’re old.

most things do not get stronger with age.

[Deathhappens]

Double sniped on Shiki's sword, sad day. Although what she was doing with it wasn't exactly the prescribed way for treating 400-year old metal, so in a way, it was pretty damn durable.

[castor212]

Kayneth workshop didnt get bombed
The hotel got bombed
Its kinda different

Also when does the mercury ever got missiled
Is this case file

[You]

Also when does the mercury ever got missiled
Is this case file

It does not

[Arashi_Leonhart]

besides what missile could take out the T-1000?

[You]

but there are also several defensive magecrafts that can be overcome with brute military force, like Kayneth's mercury losing to a missile

That's a quote from Noma in Fate/Labyrinth saying that the Supreme Codes of the Lords (which moeblob is one) can have the power of a missile.
Not moeblob actually tanking a missile somwhere
That did not happen, don't know where you're getting your stuff from.

It depends on the magecraft.
If you reinforced a water pitcher and threw grenades into itat it, of course the water pitcher isn't going to make it.
If you throw a grenade at one of kayneth's doorways to otherworlds, well the blast is just going to go into a different world.

Yagyu Munenori and Suzuka Gozen vs Gawain and Mordred.

There was a translation and I didn't know about it until now. I wonder where they're fighting at. Camelot maybe?

Well, if the you is Medea, maybe then it'd be a survivor of a water pitcher.
