The true problem with Iskandar is one that you kind of touched on, He is a year one servant. In the day's before break bars he was okay. The game changed and the servants of that era were left behind. I hope they eventually buff him again. I think a 30% charge on one of his skills could make him an acceptable farmer with the NP charge append unlocked. It's sad I love Iskandar, when I got in the game he was one of my must have servants because I loved him so much. I never use him anymore because he doesn't work well anymore.
Honestly even before Break bars were a thing Francis Drake was better then him. 50 Percent NP Charge, High NP Gain skill and voyager of the storm. Her NP didn't hit AS hard but she had no problem aiding herself too.
As a guy who has 120 NP6 Perfected Iskandar, I'm fully aware he sucks compared to most other servants I own at lower np levels. At the end of the day, this is a waifu game, and I still love this chad to death despite his gameplay flaws.
Illya was the 5 star I got that gave me Renewed Hope in FGO When I got her NP 2, Mordred, and Artoria in one summon session. Bad Luck in the gacha can really push one to near quiting Levels. Plus I love Prisma Illya~
There's so few Year one servants that remain relevant even to this day. Regardless of what I think of Iskandar, a reason why I never bothered to roll for him is that, break Bars rendered most of his usefulness moot. I can quite sympathize with that because I own an NP5 Raikou and while she was sidelined by Arjuna Alter and soon by Morgan come next year in NA, I still use her because of a few glimmers of hope put on her. Iskandar needs more than just damage at this point. Plus, Drake and Ivan set the bar too high for Iskandar.
At least she has a VERY High NP Damage Ceiling and can do more then Bursts of damage for a few turns then is dead weight. Her NP gives so many Crit stars, Has an evade, Crit absorb. Yeah Drake is what Iskandar WISHES he could be.
They DESPERATELY Need to Buff him. They gave him one animation update and an upgrade to a skill that really didn't change THAT much. Imagine if his third skill gave him NP Charge to himself or the party.
He's just not meta. Like better supports for him are Castoria so his arts crits refund most of his bar by themselves, or Himiko for sustained buster and crit damage with stars. He works best with a secondary DPS to make use of his party skills though, he is renowned for being a commander after all not for being a warrior. Koyanskaya will be able to support and take advantage of his buffs since she is AoE herself (although not against casters). A 30% battery would be most appropriate, but I'd also like to see overcharge (2 levels, 1 time) so that his NP debuffs are of substantial value at least the first time. Iskandar is not a defensively minded servant, so I wouldn't expect hard defense but maybe a def up for the party at most. Also, costumes of him not on the horse!
50% NP charge and np gain, star gain, Buster skill should be the same as Emiya archer where you can choose to change him from Buster to Arts or Quick. Add something to his charisma skill. Some of the things that can make him viable.
You know I was just looking at it but Illya's kit other then her third skill is what Iskandar SHOULD have gotten. Buster Mana Burst NP Charge and NP Gain + Invincibility And then mix his charisma and Conquer skill into one third skill. Boom he is fixed!
As an Iskandar hater, it sucks knowing your favorite character is bad in the game. Not only is the gameplay bad, but also his animations are really crappy. It's a feelsbad even for a hater like me.
@@Empress_Dawn i dont like reckless expecially reckless protoganist characters either But his reckles act not because of he is idiot or dont think future because he is brave wise and strong He is reckless because what happenes happenes he can accept every result He even didnt go sadd about both his defeat against gilgamesh and saber's excalibur attack He is wise than he looks and a great leader with friendship İ wish i could roll for him but he is no good At least if it was another good servant with hım it May be worth to roll
As someone with NP3 Drake, he just seems like an all-around worse wave-clearer than her, due to him not having an NP battery or NP gain-up skill, and especially will hold true once NA gets Vitch.
It does hurt to say. I love that big red bear in the most non yori way possible. But shouldn't really matter if you grail him and just enjoy playing him.
Fate franchise just *HATE* male servant, he a limited servant that deserved better. Iskandar should have 3 turn skill and NP gain to compete with new servant. #saveiskandar
Its unfortunate that hes still not great i mean one instance of a 5* that still suffers even when their WHOLE entire kit got buffed is MHX and even then god damn Kojirou makes her whole skillset looked like a joke I do hope they can buff iskandar again as hes like just needing some more few buffs to help him atleast stand out a bit more because his 2nd skill is almost glorified military tactic it almost makes the skill voyager of the storm looked better which btw is just a 1 turn aoe np damage up and a normal damage up Also good video man for the pick between voice or text its mostly on you i enjoy the voice more but like i said ur choice
MHX actually comparatively at NP 1 with other Assassins at NP 1 DOES hit hard from what I heard. Iskandar is DESPERATELY In need of some Major Buffs. Aw thank you for watching to the end~ I am glad you enjoyed the video. I was nervous about voicing this.
@@Empress_Dawn Glad to know but the unfortunate thing for mhx is that the one great thing she has is her Np which hits REALLY hard and can gain alot of crit stars but mostly thats it her delayed stun is useful if it had a 100% chance unfortunately but her 2nd skills is just instinct with a invincibility which will save you if said stun fails to proc and her last skill is mostly meant for saber and the way they fixed this is to just slap a attack buff...dang but even from all of this shes still good hell if i remember correctly if u use MHX against a saber enemy with her 3rd skill on she can deal 2.20X damage against saber....if u dont have a better option to fight against a saber that is soo yeah thanks for the respond and i look forward for ur future video
@@jackkang7730 Thank you so much~ I plan to do a video review of Muramasa when I get the time. I'm just an NA Pleb so I go off what my JP Friends tell me and my own look at the skills and NP. Yeah MHX Sounds like she got all the buffs she deserves. WHICH I WISH THEY APPLIED THAT TO MY BOY HERE.
@@Empress_Dawn Goodluck on ur muramasa review and muramasa banner cause im scared for my own luck since i just pulled hokusai withing a single multi Im also kind of a NA pleb since i kinda stopped playing JP since i realize i need to keep pulling up the wiki page for skill info and CE effect which was hell soo yeah kinda stopped playing after that. And i truly hope iskandar can be buffed more in the future since he has good potential with his damage and with that have a nice day good sir
@@jackkang7730 I could never play on JP without the Clarvoyence in order to know what's coming. I'd be driven mad XD. Still unsure to summon for Muramasa or not. 2023 is BRUTAL for Masters. You have a great day too~
Np gain is not the bad tbh (Iskandar already got np gain update), but everything else is so bad....... unfortunately unless there is event that include Iskandar, he Will probably never received rank up again.

He got buffed with a battery so thankfully he’s vastly more useful now.
Sometimes the truth hurts but it needs to be said and heard
I feel nothing but pain DX
2.5k in only 6 days. Nice job Dawn
As a guy who has 120 NP6 Perfected Iskandar, I'm fully aware he sucks compared to most other servants I own at lower np levels.

True Love > Power
my first 5* is Illya. Luckily enough she got buff twice and is now good.
Illya was the 5 star I got that gave me Renewed Hope in FGO When I got her NP 2, Mordred, and Artoria in one summon session. Bad Luck in the gacha can really push one to near quiting Levels. Plus I love Prisma Illya~
He could really use a rankup to maybe become a buster looper. At the very least 30%, he isnt a boss killer and rn barely a farmer
Yeah he DESPERATELY Needs it.
🙏🏼 dawn upload
I wish they gave him a 30% battery and buffed up the charisma, along with making the debuffs on his NP activate first
If they did that he would be SO much better!
He is a gigachad so he deserves to be
@@CrazedSpaced He is BROSKANDAR The only one that can compete with him is Brotoki.

Berserker Lancelot is still very helpful
He needs a battery so hard. I love iskandar, but he really has been left behind
@@caceres-olazo2951 Desperately needs it yeah. No upgrades for him in years.
FGO need to buff him... how come a limited servant could be this bad... Give him a 50% NP charge
They DESPERATELY Need to Buff him. They gave him one animation update and an upgrade to a skill that really didn't change THAT much.
Imagine if his third skill gave him NP Charge to himself or the party.
50 is too much i think it May be less and little help on other think May be more balanced
What are the odds that I found you on UA-cam? Now all you need is a Miyu who has a NP that SCHLURPS enemies in UNIQUE ways~
Wait are you who I think you are?! Also Miyu cost me 600 SQ To get...I will never forget that pain.
@@Empress_Dawn I have her at NP2, and maybe I am~ we've spoken LOTS on Twitter~
@@amordramon22 Now I am very curious. You should say something to me on twitter or in DM on twitter so I know.

My first 5 star was Francis Drake, my second Iskandar 😢 he has never really gotten use
Francis Drake was my first ever GSSR XD
My first 5* is Drake and I love her, she needs costumes my guy, such a beauty deserves it
Drake Alter costume when!?
@@Empress_Dawn No. No, I would take the Atlantis one.
I just got him on the gssr along with kintoki im still happy cause he was may favorite charcter in fate zero
Hey glad you love him like I do~
@@Empress_Dawn im grailing him to 100 when i get some spare grails
Good video homie

Why are you hating hım because i uselessnes or character personality stuffs
I just don't vibe with his type of character, personal preference really.
@@Soluxya Nothing wrong with that. I typically can't stand Reckless characters like him too but his charisma with Waver is too good.
@@Soluxya okey respect that everyone dont have to love i just wanted to know was it extra reason for it
@@Empress_Dawn i dont like reckless expecially reckless protoganist characters either

He is worse sadly-

True if you love a servant enough you can make any team work~ Just wish he was better like Drake is.

No such thing as a Conqueror's Charisma?
If he was made today I am sure that he would have this skill changed to something like that.
