Is it just me or have they definitively moved past the original “servants were stronger when they were alive” premise.i gave it a pass back in Orleans since they were still finding a groove but the dialogue here keeps going the other way
IIRC, they said Servants were stronger alive specifically because of the mana thing- if they have to spend a bunch of their mana keeping themselves from being noped out of existence by the world, they can't go as far and do as much damage. If you're a ghost running on fumes, you're already dead. Meanwhile, your living Servant can toss out NPs willy nilly, because they aren't gonna die from having a 0% full mana tank, they'll just eat and sleep and be back to full in a few days.Then you have the guys who became way stronger after becoming Servants, like Iskander, Tesla, and anybody else who embodies some HUMANITY FUCK YEAH deal.
