Talk:Darth Vader vs. Arturia Pendragon/Saber/@comment-25951993-20150715150502/@comment-25951993-20150715152014

the unfortunate thing is that is somethime it does not work in his favour. By prolong a battle too long it can also allow his opponents to study his moves and counter them.

But luckily in this case Vader conserved most of his enegy in the battle, saving it for when he has learned all he needs to know about Saber over the course of their battle. Since Vader had seven kinds of unique forms of fighting moves, he was very versatile, and could adapt and alter his moves a lot more then Saber could keep up.

And thanks to his Force abilites, he was more then able to counter her more powerful magic attacks like Invisible Air and Mana Burst. The only thing Saber had that could trump Vader was her Excalibur, but even then, It take time for her to charge it and unleash it, by that time, Vader was not only able to sense it coming, but see it coming. So he obviously would use Force speed to avoid it.

He also has the ability to absorb energy from the environment and use it to sustain himself, where as Saber needs a specific source of Mana/Prana to tap.
