Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Projection: Commonly known as Projection (投影 touei), Gradation Air is a Magecraft that materializes objects, in accordance to the caster’s imagination, through the use of prana. Gradation comes from the fact that the created object slowly fades away after being created, and Air is an allusion to the fact that said object is made out of “nothing”. More in Projection. Projection is limited to materials that exist on earth and the prana the tracer can use on his body at a time, it also down rank 1 level the traced item.
- Unlimited Blade Works - Infinite Creation of Swords: Within the boundaries of Unlimited Blade Works, Archer has access to any weapon he has ever replicated or seen. In addition, further replication is facilitated to such a degree that it becomes effortless, and Archer can create new weapons instantly, and seemingly without penalty. Once reproduced, arms are registered within the bounded field, and they can be reproduced by the Gradation Air magecraft even without the Reality Marble’s activation. However, reproduced weapons lose a rank. It is also possible to reproduce defensive items, but the prana cost is two to three times higher than other Projections. Furthermore, armament prepared during the formation of the bounded field keeps consuming prana from the formation to the preservation of the bounded field. The prana cost is also high when recreating those that were destroyed or when creating those that didn't exist when the bounded field was created.
- Marksmanship: True to his class, Archer has an exceptional skill at shooting from long range. His reinforced eyes can count the number of screws on the bridge 4 kilometers away. According to Word of God he can also snipe Servants from that range, even if they were on the move.Whether he accomplishes the later by predicting his opponent or the arrow deliberately changing course on mid-flight is unknown. Archer can modify Noble Phantasms to behave like arrows and shoot repeatedly at a machinegun-like rate.
- Broken Phantasm: Archer can overload a Noble Phantasm with huge amounts of prana and release it as an arrow. The power of the Noble Phantasm increases considerably and its mystery raises up by a whole rank. As a consequence the Noble Phantasm won't hold for long and destroys itself on impact. That's extremely wasteful for any Servant but Archer who can trace any number of weapons. Charging up Noble Phantasms does take a long time though, up to even 30-40 seconds. Broken Phantasms are remarkably fast, in the hypersonic+ range. Hrunting for example flew 4 kilometers in less than a single second.
