I mean, Bellerophon says "use against armies" on the label, and Medusa mostly uses it for attacking, like, one person.
Okay, here's one for you:
Each member of the Black Faction from Apocrypha gets their respective Servant from the Red Faction (ie. Gordes gets Mordred, Darnic gets Karna, etc). They then proceed to fight a standard Holy Grail War amongst themselves. Who wins?
Seems like it'd come down to how much mana Celenike/Darnic can provide to Achilles/Karna no?
It's anime light. They have time for a stock phrase or two before it hits.

Nope just straight up dodged. Doesn't matter if he wasn't the target either. Gil was standing in front of the grail, so he was still in the way.
And yet—if Saber launched a counterattack on Archer from this position, the impact would wreck the Grail on the stage. Even if Archer took the full impact and was reduced to charcoal, the Grail would also be inevitably destroyed. In that case, all her efforts would have come to nothing.
The tremendous force of the dual Command Seals ravaged and crushed Saber’s form, at the same time drawing out all the prana that still remained within her body, weaving it into the light of destruction.
The released beam of light made a cross-section of the entire hall, directly impacting the Grail that floated on the stage. Archer nimbly dodged this attack, but because he was in close proximity to the beam of light, its high intensity made him momentarily unable to execute the attack on Kiritsugu.
Still it's the only example of someone just hopping out of the way of a explosion or beam or any noble phantasm in all of fate really.
forever overshadowed by Gil, poor Alex

In the past, this Heroic Spirit, who possessed great divinity, was apparently summoned in
the Holy Grail Wars of a land known as Japan. It was said that Gilgamesh’s power surpassed that
of many other heroes, and that he had emerged as the victor.
From what Tiné had heard, he was a man of many skills and was competent in all areas, but
more importantly his combat style was so overwhelming that it gave everyone else pause.
how strong is Himiko exactly?
B++. So, stronger than Herk when her plus modifiers are active.
...Unless you mean overall power rather than "strength".
Is that actually saying Gil directly was in front of the blast? the major damage from Excalibur is the point but there is always a certain amount of splash damage involved when it impacts.
Maybe it was trying (in gen’s inept fashion) to convey they were close enough the blast on one would hit the other and Gil skipped out of the AoE zone. Just a thought on my part.
To be honest, the B++ is probably one of the most impressive things about her. I guess A-rank Magic Resistance is always worth noting as well. But her kit basically boils down to "hit real hard, buff my allies, and predict the future". And she doesn't have any abilities which summon allies for her to command, so in a regular HGW she'll usually just be hitting real hard and predicting the future. She does also have some talent as a magus (A-rank Territory Creation and her Kidou personal skill), but as far as I know, we don't really know what her magecraft is capable of yet, so it's hard to factor that into an overall assessment of her power.
Basically, she seems to be an Artoria who hits a bit harder and has slightly more powerful Intuition, at the cost of having neither Excalibur nor Avalon. She'll probably kick the asses of any mediocre Servants she fights, just due to the combination of great stats and never making any mistakes, but she doesn't seem like she can really rumble with higher-tier Servants.

I somehow doubt the hikineet queen has good martial art skills either so she probably can't take advantage of her I CAN SEE THE FUTURE as much as some others.
Also seeing the future in her case probably doesn't come with super information parsing and computing, so a Sion she ain't.
Really nothing about her is anything new, or special imo other than the B++ strength and we don't even know what activates those mods. I guess maybe it's a special move thing with her Himiko Punch gag. She's very much a matter of FGO making a anime character and modeling a servant after it rather than the other way around if that makes sense I feel rip.
