Blitzkrieg - Gespensterdivision
Thunderous Warfare of the Ghost Division
Type: Anti-Army
Rank: D++
Range: 3~40
Max. Target: 50 people
Blitzkrieg; a method of warfare developed by the Nazi regime. In this case, it is a version of Blitzkrieg that is further developed and improved by Rommel who was known for her extremely effective use of the Blitzkrieg tactic. With her division popularly nicknamed the ''Ghost Division'' due to her extreme mobility and sudden appearances with which even her own allies could not keep up with, what is crystallized here is a version of Blitzkrieg that is further enhanced by Rommel. Since it is still Blitzkrieg, it possesses the same capabilities as the version Adolf Hitler is in possession of as
his Noble Phantasm. However, two '+' modifiers are granted due to Rommel's improvement of it's usage. Essentially, rather than the Blitzkrieg, her Noble Phantasm is her own technique with it.
Once she has manifested a powerful German Panzer, Rommel will be able to activate the true capability of her technique. By employing a wide range mental attack on the area, Rommel imposes a powerful impression of uncertainty onto the enemy which can not be resisted unless one's resistance to mental interference is really high. Similar to the Presence Concealment skill of the Assassin class, Rommel's curse of uncertainty works by suppressing the presence of her Panzer and it's hostility after disordering the enemy's mind. With a disordered state of mind, the enemy will be unable to pinpoint the exact location of the enemy Panzer, making it seem as if what they were fighting was a ghost with no physical form.
Only after reaching a specific range in front of the enemy or preparing for attack will the effectiveness of Rommel's curse drop and the enemy will once again be able to locate the presence of her Panzer. To them, it will seem as if Rommel suddenly appeared in front of them with the speed of lightning, forcing them into a quick response should they wish to survive the attack. On the other hand, since in it's basics, this Noble Phantasm holds both the same strengths and weaknesses as the original Blitzkrieg, this is only truly effective against a specific kind of
Man attribute Servants. At the same time, it is not like Rommel's own technique is without weakness. Since the curse possess a specific range, it is easy for Servants such as Archer, Caster or individuals who can fly such as Karna to stay out of it's range. Additionally, exectly because it is a curse that interferes with the mind, Berserker or anyone with mental super armor will find themselves to be the ultimate counter-Servant to this Noble Phantasm.
Since it is also a wide range curse, her own Master is not excluded from it's effects and so if they find themselves in it's range, they might become incapable of providing Rommel any support - although as far as Rommel herself is concerned, that is a good thing. Nevertheless, even if she is up against a Servant that can counter this Noble Phantasm, there still remains the fact that this curse is created because of Rommel's extreme maneuverability instead of her capabilities as a Magus. As such, she will still possess great mobility with her version of Blitzkrieg in the occasion of facing such an enemy. On a side note, it might be needless to say, but in the scenario in which Rommel's own version of Blitzkrieg is facing that which Hitler possesses, despite the latter being it's more rightful owner Rommel's technique in using her version will edge out a victory against Hitler's version.
Der Wüstenfuchs
Fierce Fox of Desert Warfare
Type: Anti-Army, Anti-Environment, Bounded Field
Rank: C
Range: 1~40
Max. Target: 200 people
The Noble Phantasm version of her innovative tactics which earned her the nickname the ''Desert Fox''. In order for it's activation to be made possible, Rommel is forced to wait until nightfall. Once nightfall has arrived, the conditions will be met. When activated, this Noble Phantasm will work by forcibly leaking out the mana contained in the land's leylines and killing the land's fertility, turning it into a dry open territory by altering it's shape into that of a preferred terrain for Rommel. A scenario fit for a Noble Phantasm that represents part of the most atrocious event in human history; World War II. Once such conditions have been met, Rommel will be able to manifest her vast arrange of Nazi war-machines which she commanded in life, using the leaked out mana.
Commanding a vast arrange of Panzer units, Rommel will be able to use her skill to it's fullest effect - outflanking the enemy and blasting them from each side, not allowing them to regroup or replenish any of their defensive capabilities. Under the cover of the night, Rommel is boosted in battle performance due to having the possibility to cover the movement of her Panzer units. The nature of this Noble Phantasm is a bounded field that creates a scenario which lacks a shimmer of hope. In a ~40 radius, everything is cut off from the outside world. A stage set up for the battle of machinery, mystery can not thrive in this location. As such, anything that contains high mystery in nature is lowered in it's performance, but depending on the strength of the mystery in question the decrease of it's performance might not particularly be an advantage for Rommel.
A continuous raid-type attack where the enemy is bombarded with artillery as if they were in the middle of a powerful sandstorm. It can be visualized as if hundreds of spears were piercing at enemy defense one after another. Due to this it is effective against Servants that can shake off an one turn powerful attack such as the Hydra, because of continuous assault. On the other hand, since the method of attack here is still through modern weaponry, it possesses a weakness similar to that of Blitzkrieg in being less effective against more mythical Servants. Additionally, if faced against Servants like Achilles, Karna or Heracles that could easily shake off the continuous raid and rush at Rommel, she possesses extremely bad compatibility with such heroes and her chance of victory is relatively low close to none.
On the other hand, in this scenario, she is finally able to gain an advantageous position against Archer or Caster class Servants. Casters won't be able to use the leylines to their advantage and Archers will be met with a barrage of powerful modern tank shells, potentially overwhelming the barrage of their own arrows. Unless of course, she was fighting someone like Atalanta who could rain hundreds of arrows down on her panzers as a form of aerial attack.
