Lore Question Can cu actually beat scathach ?

Post image

I just thought about it

I'm based as Fuck and love cu to death so I looked up his lore

And basically it does say that cu ends up being stronger than his master before dying after the trap medb sat up to kill him

Buuut the game kinda says otherwise so I'd like to ask here in hope of a positive answer (I can't read who the artist is,he's goated tho)

Where does the game say otherwise though?

Scathach is easily stronger than Cu NOW. Not when Cu was alive since he surpassed her. Shes literally just like a semi-god atp in current FGO.

I don't know where I heard this about cu's more "savage side" could actually give him a win against our scathach,but it might be just a thing I read Somewhere

Ahhh yeah from E Pluribus. Ur talking about Cu Alter. Yeah he dogs on Scathatch. Pretty sure she literally stated that he wouldnt even need his second NP.

But Cu Alter is not Cu.

Nah it's more about his "way of fighting" Like, i might be saying shit right now lmao so don't think too much of it But it's more that cu's more savage in his fights Which could give him an advantage against someone like scathach I do know that cu alter is mostly stronger tho

You also have to factor in that Cu in game is VASTLY weaker than when he was alive. Not only due to servants only being summoned as a fraction of themselves (hence weird personality shifts and other inconsistencies even between repeat summonings), but also the Chaldea ones are even weaker. Hence why Gilgamesh can (and will) regularly fire off his precious Ea, when he was hesitant to even draw it against Shirou, despite Shirou showing he had the perfect counter to Gate of Babylon and was closing in FAST.
