Prologue

The train arrives in a London of an uncertain time. Standing in its center is the Clock Tower which Magi hail as the kernel of learning, an ivory tower borne of obsessive delusion. Filled with Magecraft and Mystery, the city repeats a cycle of feuds and plots, though always in pursuit of the root. In an apartment part of this world of Magecraft do you encounter a living Lord, and a dead Lord. The stench of blood in the air portends the beginning of a new case. "Hm? Naturally you are to assist me. Or do you intend to abandon this weak little maiden to her fate?

New Servant

Class Pretender Profile Hephaestion, the retainer most favored by the King of Conquerors, Iskandar. This woman... is not him. An enigmatic Magus from the Age of the Gods who, though having vowed unending loyalty to Iskandar, is also the one who loathed him and his royal troops more than any other. Pretender Hephaestion... Even so, this too is but a false name. You may call me Faker if you feel so inclined. Hephaestion SR **** Max ATK 9879 Max HP 11168

[Ubergeneral]

Sweet a new Pretender. Oberon was getting lonely and we need a servant in that class that can deal lots of damage.

[Reign]

We know the lore of Hephaestion's skills from CF mats so I'll guess her kit and see in a few days how close I get:
-HSDW: NP charge that one's already established
-Blessing of the Nameless: Taunt and debuff resist up
-For He is Another Iskandar: Attack and NP buff
-Hecatic Wheel: ST Buster

[Lobo]

Posting also here, the new story is titled "Pseudepigrapha's Return" and it's set in the Rail Zeppelin

[Herod]

-HSDW: NP charge that one's already established
-Blessing of the Nameless: Taunt and debuff resist up
-For He is Another Iskandar: Attack and NP buff
-Hecatic Wheel: ST Buster

Full NP charge+Taunt+Damage Buff would be an interesting combination, not gonna lie.

[GrandLurker]

So the new pretender came just after new years then. Now we just need a pretender suimsuit servant and servantverse gag and the class will be complete. Anyway Heph looks good here with a more tasteful design than some of the fgo girls of late

[Comun]

a pretender suimsuit servant and servantverse gag

Reverse Pretender Yang Guifei forcing an identity on her Master instead of herself, and Sakura Mainyu.

[NeroFan]

Is the new Pretender limited or permanent?

[Comun]

Permanent.

[NeroFan]

Oh nice! I wonder how good she will be for a permanent one.

[Reign]

We know the lore of Hephaestion's skills from CF mats so I'll guess her kit and see in a few days how close I get:
-HSDW: NP charge that one's already established
-Blessing of the Nameless: Taunt and debuff resist up
-For He is Another Iskandar: Attack and NP buff
-Hecatic Wheel: ST Buster

Also possible one of these will be replaced with her Mystic Eyes (probably a stun)

[Quoren]

Curious to see if the ascensions are just the 2015 style of just adding clothing, or if they go for something more unique, like making her third Ascension some kind of "what-if she had been given the chance to have been her own person" kind of thing.

I could see 'third ascension is "the real them"' being the Pretender Class equivalent of Foreigner's Third Ascension being the "Merged with outer God" Form

[Trubo]
