“ | I am the bone of my sword. Steel is my body and fire is my blood, I have created over a thousand blades, Unknown to Death, Nor known to Life. Have withstood pain to create many weapons. Yet, those hands will never hold anything. So as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works. | „ |

History[]
Unlike other servants who are figures from the past or the source of myths, Archer is actually a hero from the future. He is the Shirou Emiya of a future timeline, having won the Fifth Holy Grail War and transcending his humanity to become the living incarnation of "Justice" years later when executed. But Archer's role as a servant is as a Counter Guardian, a being that exists outside time/space to halt any extinction event by slaughtering hundreds to save billions. This life of endless killing drove Archer mad with grief and disillusion for his former ideals, feigning ignorance, he engineered his appearance in the Fifth Holy Grail War as a servant to Rin Tohsaka, who knew would ally with his past self. Despite his loyalty to Rin, mostly due to his relationship with her, Archer's only goal in the Grail War is to kill his past self to negate his existence.

Faults[]
- All his weapons and Noble Phantasms from Unlimited Blade Works are weaker projections of the true versions and Gilgamesh's "treasures" in his Gate of Babylon (although they are still exceptionally powerful)
- Despite qualities as a Servant, Archer is generally weaker than most Heroic Spirits in terms of ability due to lack of a Noble Phantasm of his own and his role as a Counter-Guardian.
- In Fate and Heaven's Feel, was crippled by Saber, preventing him from acting on his plan to kill Shirou
- However his relationship towards Shirou depends on a route
- In Heaven's Feel, Shirou (throughout the route) choose to give up his ideals and rather puts the safety of himself and those he deeply cares at first. And Archer saves Shirou by cutting his own left arm and gives it to him after he lost his (to be transplanted by Kirei) before disappearing
- However his relationship towards Shirou depends on a route
- Projection of blades requires much more effort and energy outside of his Reality Marble
- Breaking Rho Aias's layers will damage Archer
- Possesses no exceptional abilities or unique powers other than his class abilities, his developed abilities as a mage, and his Unlimited Blade Works
- Disadvantaged when not working with an ally
- Independent Action can be somewhat restricted with use of a Command Seal
- Overpowered by Shirou Emiya in Unlimited Blade Works
- Rho Aias was shattered trying to block Gàe Bolg: Soaring Spear that Strikes with Death and the Shadow's explosion of mana
- Dependent on mana
- Any object other than a sword or similar bladed weapons is significantly more difficult to create through projection
- If his Master dies, he will die as well, although Independent Action greatly extends his survival before his demise
