Each turn re-calculates whether the buff actually grants what it is supposed to and Masters have no way of knowing whether the buffs are in effect until any attacks are done or the turn ends.

All of its buffs are always applied, but he only has a 65% chance of granting his associated buff or generating the stated critical stars that turn. As one of the few SR servants with a 50% NP charge and an AoE Noble Phantasm, he makes an excellent option on farming teams against Caster waves.Īstolfo's Evaporation of Reason is a powerful skill, yet one that behaves very differently from most almost all other chance-based skills (Fionn's Evasion is very similar). Thus, Astolfo mainly serves as a Quick AoE burst useful for clearing waves and hopefully generating Critical Stars. When this chance-based Critical potential fails to trigger, it exasperates his QQQAB deck’s weaknesses and leads to generally low damage on his cards. To make matters worse, his critical skills are chance-based, and required to sufficiently damage an enemy outside of his Noble Phantasm. Astolfo is plagued with extremely low generation rates for both NP generation and Critical Star generation from his Command cards. However, when Astolfo is not using his Noble Phantasm he struggles to perform. Lastly, Astolfo has good critical potential through a QQQAB deck, a Quick Noble Phantasm, the various random Critical effects in Evaporation of Reason, and the Instant Critical Stars generated by his Noble Phantasm. Astolfo also has significant survivability potential, thanks to a rare 3-hit evasion effect from his Noble Phantasm and a stun from Trap of Argalia. A combination of the Attack Buff from Monstrous Strength, Riding A+, and his NP Upgrade, ensures this Noble Phantasm can be used for decent AoE damage. By using Evaporation of Reason after its Skill Upgrade, Astolfo gains a 50% Noble Phantasm charge with which to unleash Hippogriff fast. Now freed, Astolfo is a powerful farming Servant with his decent hitting AoE Quick Noble Phantasm that can be charged instantly with a little help.Īstolfo’s main strengths lie in his rapid-cast Noble Phantasm. Riding on a Hippogriff and wielding a golden lance, Astolfo has escaped from his myrtle tree prison to destroy the evil Casters who trapped him there. Be like a falling leaf! But don’t actually fall!
