In the vast and intricate world of the Fate series, Gilgamesh is widely recognized as the most powerful Servant, an iconic figure embodying immense strength and unparalleled versatility.
The King of Heroes: Gilgamesh's Unrivaled Might
Gilgamesh, the legendary King of Heroes, stands at the pinnacle of power among Heroic Spirits. He is not just powerful; he is often cited as the strongest Servant to ever participate in the Holy Grail Wars. His reputation as the "strongest Servant" is well-known among fans and consistently demonstrated through his abilities. He is an iconic character, beloved by the fandom, and often one of the first characters that come to mind when thinking of Fate, alongside Artoria Pendragon.
His power stems primarily from his Noble Phantasms and unique abilities:
- Gate of Babylon: This is his primary Noble Phantasm, a spatial connection to his treasury that allows him to summon countless prototypes of every Noble Phantasm and treasure ever created. He can project these weapons as projectiles at incredibly high speeds, overwhelming opponents with a ceaseless barrage of legendary armaments.
- Enuma Elish (Ea): His most devastating attack, wielded through the Sword of Rupture, Ea. This is an "Anti-World" Noble Phantasm that distorts space-time and is capable of destroying entire realities, making it one of the most destructive abilities in the Fate universe.
- Sha Naqba Imuru: As a Saber-class Servant, Gilgamesh possesses the ability of "True Insight," an unmatched foresight that allows him to discern the true nature of his opponents and their strategies. This gives him a significant tactical advantage, often rendering his enemies' plans futile before they even begin.
While other powerful entities exist within the broader Fate multiverse—including Beasts, Grand Servants, and certain deities—within the context of the Servants summoned for Holy Grail Wars, Gilgamesh's vast arsenal and destructive potential consistently place him above others. His arrogance is matched only by his power, and he rarely needs to exert himself fully to defeat most opponents.
