So what’s an Alter Servant? It’s actually relatively self-explanatory from the name: it represents an alternative aspect of their more common form. In many cases their original inspiration isn’t necessarily even a “hero” at all this explains the existence of characters such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, William Shakespeare and the like as Servants in Fate/Grand Order, happily existing alongside established heroic legends such as Lancelot, Heracles and, of course, everyone’s favourite genderbent legendary English king. As Fate/stay night taught us, Heroic Spirits aren’t necessarily the result of someone’s heroic deeds in life and don’t even have to be “real” they can come about as a result of appreciating someone’s work many years after their life, or even be created simply as a result of stories being passed down in a particular society. Key to Fate is the idea of a Servant: an existence created from a Heroic Spirit, which are, in turn, based on real-world historical or legendary figures. Serves me right for pulling Gilgamesh on my first draw back when his event ran shortly after the game launched in the West.Īnyway, let’s take a look at Jeanne Alter today, and why she might be so popular among the fanbase, particularly those under the thrall of the gacha!įanart by Ayuayu (Shouyu no Sato) ( Pixiv)įor those less familiar with Fate as a whole, firstly, obligatory “read the visual novel” comment, and secondly, a couple of concepts are worth bearing in mind.
The joke’s on me, of course having not played the game for a while and come back to it just in time for a drop rate up on the extremely popular Jeanne Alter, I burned 90+ Saint Quartz on summons only to receive more Boudicas than I know what to do with and not even a whiff of Jeanne. I thought I’d taunt the Fate/Grand Order players a bit with today’s Waifu Wednesday.
