Okay, okay then. It honestly just make me think about how in the Create a Servant thread you're warned against making EX stats. Also, not even the same class from Fate/Extra, they're no fun.

They should just be a Caster with this.
Spoiler:
LB6 has A-Reis, or "sub-bells" depending on what TL you've read. In LB6 the term used in JP was 亜鈴, where "sub-bell" is the literal reading (and has some relation to fairies at least, cuz of bells), whereas "arei" is the transliteration. They were the "great mother/father" fairies that could reshape the world, and from which the more powerful fairies in LB6 inherited their powers. The reason for using the transliteration (with a dash) as the name was mostly due to the fact that it was a pretty obvious reference to 亜麗, or "a-ray", as it appears in 亜麗百種 (a-ray one hundred species) in Notes. At the time it was more of a guess, but they also explained in story that a-rei were akin to what Chaldea would call "True Ancestors in their world".
Then comes Arc's profile in FGO and literally says arc is an a-ray (亜麗) which is otherwise known as a-rei (亜鈴) in a certain Lostbelt. And then it also adds on 真種 (true species?) afterwards but idk what that's supposed to be really. Maybe some tsuki-re shit I haven't read about yet.
So the Excalibur fairies were TAs then? I thought Crimson Moon's deal with Gaia was later than that.
Six Faeries, Dark Six, Six Sisters; all the same thing then?
I don't think that was necessarily the point when Oberon said it in LB6 (though I'll go take a look at the line again maybe), or the exact point the profile is necessarily trying to make. The a-rei/six fairies were perhaps just the "closest equivalent" to TAs, and Arc exists as an a-ray in addition to her status as a TA, maybe? It'd make sense if you think about it in the vein of like, an a-ray/a-rei being the "top beings" closest to the planet, and TAs being the result of the deal with CM for Gaia to "protect itself" or whatever it was.
Who knows, really.

Ah my bad, it was Da Vinci who said it:
Hmm. Is the term "A-Rei" unique to this Lostbelt?
They sound similar to what we call things like "Elemental" or "True Ancestor".
True Ancestors are fairies by definition.
Ergo, in a world where you don't have true ancestors through some lunar compact, if there's some vaguely a-ray related thing, it'd fall to the relevant elementals.
You know, Arc being released specially for the 7th anniv doesn't really explicitly exclude her from being featured in the main story.
I still think it's possible that she'll appear in some form in LB7, especially since LB7 will most probably revolve around the concepts of Ultimate Ones and Prime Species.
Honestly, the fact we got Arc-Arc and not some pseudo-Arc or Arc with a weird personality
That's enough.
