I have returned from Iceland in an attempt to get cooler. It was very cold and they eat a lot of canned food there.
Something that I forgot to mention last week. Blood Arthur's warping of the sword, and then the beam of hatred is reminiscent of Enhance's sword Avenger. If you read the description of that, it talks about how Avenger warps into an ugly blade and shoots malice. Thought that was really interesting considering they're both Demonic Swords.
Anyway this week is Atlanta. Lion eared bow-woman.
Magic Resistance: D対魔力: D
一工程(シングルアクション)によるものを無効化する。
魔力避けのアミュレット程度の対魔力。
One step (Single Action) spells are nullified.
Equivalent Magic Resistance as a magical energy repelling amulet.
Crossing Arcadia: Bアルカディア越え: B
敵を含む、フィールド上のあらゆる障害を飛び越えて移動できる
While moving can jump over all obstacles, including opponents, on the field.
The first of Atlanta's unique skills. They're ranked for some reason. Either way this one introduces a new concept not seen in Servant profiles yet and that is skills that affect the "field." This really makes me think of a chessboard, because how everyone seems to talk about Servants as pieces. This skill is also reminiscent of a Knight's movement, how it can jump over opponents. Anyway that's just my opinion.
Aesthetics of the Last Spurt: C追い込みの美学: C
敵に先手を取らせ、その行動を確認してから自分が先回りして行動できる。
Allows enemy to take the initiative and after confirming the action she can anticipate him.
I feel like this is instinct done right. It's a good skill because it has it's weaknesses. That is if it's one hit KO like Gae Bolg, it's useless and unavoidable considering it's her style of fighting.

[Other Noble Phantasm unknown]
So, this Noble Phantasm is really interesting. First I wish there was an English word for an arrow that has a letter tied to it. I mean it was a pretty normal way of communication in the olden days. At least that's what television has me believing. Anyway it has the same range and max targets as Via Expugnatio. Thought that was interesting. It's called Phoebus Catastrophe but where's the Artemis in that name? I guess it's a reference to Apollo and his role as a god destruction in the Illiad.
Either way if this arrow is asking for divine protection and Apollo and Artemis's are the one's replying, does this mean that Apollo and Artemis are alive or at least are like Amaterasu?
Also in CMIV this Noble Phantasm is sent to either Apollo or Artemis and in return males or females are attacked. I think they dropped that in this since it's too complicated. Arrow rain is just an arrow rain.
Finally the range being set. I don't think it can be set greater than 50 but like condensed like in Vol 2.
Either way that's it for this week.
