Biography:
How to Train your Dragon (-Slaying Servant).
Congratulations! You have just summoned your very own Saber-class Servant! Sabers are the cream of the cream, the elite of Servants, the kings of Heroic Spirits, and the Saber you have just purchased certainly is no exception! We are sorry we couldn't fulfill your request for an Artoria Saber, but our Artoria stocks are depleted at the current time. If you ask him nicely enough, Saber just might agree to putting on a blonde wig while standing over you and asking you, under the silver moonlight, "I ask of you, are you my Master?" He is just that much of a nice fellow.
For a detailed catalogue of Saber's activities during his mortal life please buy the 'Biography of Siegfried, or The Gold of the Nibbelung wasn't so GOLDEN', sold separately, and spare yourself a string of potentially lethal misunderstandings. It's a moving and stirring tale stressing why you should scrub everywhere while bathing. Even behind your ears, although he did that one.
Class Skills:
Riding: B
Saber will gladly be your chauffeur, your pilot, your horse tamer for no extra fee. However, should you happen to own a Dragon or a Phantasmal Beast, we regret to tell you he will not be able to ride it. Also, please keep Saber away from your dragons.
Magic Resistance: E
Saber has no actual magic resistance as he traded it for his Armor of Fafnir, but we are throwing an E rank with his purchase this week only.
Personal Skills:
Dragon-Slayer: A
If your neighborhood happens to have a dragon infestation, Saber will be all too happy to take care of it. He specializes in French wyverns. In a pinch, he'll also do giant turtles, Zilla babies, rampaging InGen dinosaurs, and herb stealing giant snakes. Snakes in a plane are too small, sorry.
Golden Rule: C-
Saber comes with his own small personal fortune attached, but if you bought the catalyst for it, you are wealthy enough yourself, already. It's not that big a fortune, actually.
If you didn't buy an officially endorsed Siegfried catalyst, you probably ended up with a Riyo Siegfried. We don't accept reimbursements over those counterfeits. Always buy legal Da Vinci Products (TM)!
Disengage: A
Saber is not a coward, but if you are a typical magus, you probably are, so you'll be okay with it as he takes you off the battlefield running away for your dear life (not his. He doesn't care about his). Please don't take this as a personal slight and remember; if Saber grabs you and tells you it's time to flee, you'll better listen to him! He knows what he's doing.
Noble Phantasms:
Armor of Fafnir: B+
Anti-Unit.
A stylish, unbeatable sleek suit of armor that will be the envy of your neighbors' Servants. Sure to be a conversation piece during visits. Doesn't shrink upon washing.
It makes Saber into a walking fortress, how cool is that?
Balmung: A
Anti-Army.
It slices, it dices, it's even bigger than Saber, and almost as pretty. It can be used to cut your bread and butter just as easily as it guts your enemies out and cleaves their throats off.
Please don't try to lift it yourself.
Dialogue Samples:
Saber isn't that big a conversationalist, but that is for the best, isn't it? Would you actually want a very chatty Servant around you all day long, bothering you with inane prattle? Saber's actions speak louder than his words, even if sometimes those actions lead to long term disaster. As long as you are a good Master, maybe he won't mess up too much!
Here are some samples of Saber's canon wit.
Summoning: "Saber, Siegfried. I have come in response to your summons. Please give me the order."
Don't complain. It's better than "I ask of you, are you my Master?" He recognized you as the Master on first sight.
Start of Battle:
"I doubt fighting me will be interesting."
"I'll try not to bore you."
Attack:
"Hyah!"
"Kyah!"
"Dahh!"
Look, in the heat of battle no one should worry about how to phrase these things, okay?!
Damage:
"It got through!"
Damage by Noble Phantasm:
"No way! "
Victory:
"Is this fate?
"Don't be discouraged. I was just lucky."
What a humble fellow! You sure made a good purchase.
Defeat:
"...An outright defeat."
"I regret nothing. Thank you."
Noble Phantasm Activation:
"The evil dragon shall fall, and the world will reach its sunset. I will bring you down... Balmung!"
"Awaken from the golden dream... Release yourself from its cradle. The evil dragon must be destroyed. Balmung!"
Extra Dialogue:
Whether to duke it out to death or establish deep bonds of friendship and love, make sure your Saber interacts with other Heroic Spirits regularly. Please don't limit too much what he can tell them, we have found out from previous experiences that doesn't work well.
"I'm sorry..." (When you have Foreigner Tohru and Kobayashi Meiko).
"It seems Kriemhild had been in your care. But, as your... wife...?" (Tilts head) (When you have Saber or Archer Altera). Please be understanding of Saber. He's a product of his era.
"Rider of Black... So you're here, too. Next time you want to try saving someone, bring me with you. It's fine. I won't hesitate again." (When you have Rider or Saber Astolfo). We are sorry, but our stocks of Astolfo are currently exhausted as well.
"You are... I see, so this must be fate, of a sort. I have little power myself, but I will be happy if I can be of help to you." (When you have Caster Sieg). We are happy to tell you, however, that our supplies of Sieg are full right now. Please summon yours today!
"Please calm down and take a deep breath. I am not Sigurd. No, I'm really sorry." (When you have Lancer Brynhildr). Our stocks of Brynhildr are currently on hold until we have figured out the claims on Master slayings.
"The Lancer of Red... I'd like to finish our battle, but it looks like you have someone you need to settle a score with already. I suppose I will just have to wait my turn." (When you have Lancer Karna). Also, look for our Siegfried/Karna book next ServaFest.
"The Great Holy Grail War... My heart aches with regret. I feel especially terrible for the Lancer of Black. At least I'm able to wield my weapon alongside him in battle now, which is both a relief and my way to atone. I'm really sorry for having seemed to trouble you in another world." (When you have Lancer Vlad Tepes). Before the nature of this quote makes you think lowly of Saber, keep in mind that almost everyone involved in Apocrypha feels regret about it too.
Birthday: "So today's your birthday. Congrats."
Again, don't complain. I'm sure he bought you something nice.
Event: "So what'll it be? Are we heading to the event?"
Saber is a great outdoors type. Please make sure of taking him in strolls regularly, or he might get depressed, more than usual. Vast European wildlands fit him the best and stimulate his romantic soul. A pity that most of them are incinerated now, isn't it?
Holy Grail: "I have no desire for the Holy Grail. All I ask is that I'm able to fight in the name of justice. "
So the wish is all yours. Bonus!
Well, that is it for now. We kept it simple since we are sure you will want to spend quality time with your brand new Saber RIGHT NOW. For any extra inquiries and questions please call the number attached in the booklet, or send us an e-mail through ServaNet in the web address also included in the catalogue.
Survival in a Grail War wielding Saber is a good bet even if you are a heavy set bastard bent on taking bad decisions. So far, the survival rate for Masters of this Saber is 100%. If you don't survive, however, Chaldea and Products Da Vinci don't assume responsibility for indemnizing your heirs.
This is another fine release of Products Da Vinci, in association with Edison Heavy Industries.
To be Continued.
