EMIYA (Assassin)

Possessing low stats, an unsuitable deck, and mediocre skills, Emiya (Assassin) is outclassed by other 4 star assassins. Although boasting decent crit gen stats, Emiya (Assassin) cannot fulfill the role of crit gen because of his BAAQQ deck. He has atrociously bad NP gen stats, especially when compared to fellow 4 star assassin, Ryougi Shiki (Assassin) who can spam her NP well. His skills are also mediocre: a self arts buff, a invulnerability pierce that hugely lowers debuff resistance of other enemies, and a targeted taunt which also gives crit stars. Emiya (Assassin) would be a versatile and hugely sought after unit if only he is not outclassed in so many areas by other servants.

Emiya (Assassin)'s third skill is extremely useful when paired with a dodge or invulnerability skill to soak up a massive single target NP. As he is incapable of fully fulfilling either the role of a crit gen or a damage dealer, Emiya (Assassin) can only contribute slightly to any specific team. He should be used to fill up quick or arts chains to gain either more crit stars or NP charge.

Emiya (Assasin) possess a 15-hit NP but cannot do much total damage with that NP, even when buffed. However, his NP also reduces an enemy’s NP gauge by one and decreases Critical Rate when overcharged. A serious drawback however is that he cannot spam his NP, unlike his competing 4 star assassin Ryougi Shiki (Assassin).

Emiya (Assassin)’s first skill gives him a 40% arts buff with a 5 turn cooldown at level 10. It should be used when he uses his NP. His third skill should be upgraded second because it can redirect a massive single target enemy NP onto a scapegoat servant or any servant with dodge or invulnerability. Seeing as his second skill gives all his allies a 20% debuff resistance, it should be upgraded last and used only in niche situations.
