Dargoo Faust's [REDACTED] EDGES: "Welp, there goes Paris."

3 Points - The Phantom Don and Shaka Zulu

I had him in my previous vote and I'll drop him in here as well as the last rank. While the Don is by far one of the better masters at playing the long game, and will likely help foster and form a superalliance to take down Risei, Shaka will be going down fast, especially when faced with even Bhishma's regular arsenal. I expect the Don to withdraw cooly, or decide that Risei is too large of a threat and go as far as to risk his own safety, and honestly I can see him being a neutral party to help negotiate with other masters. That said, he will be out of the race likely as soon as Bhishma makes the first move.

2 Points - Rhoswen Llyod and Samson

Rhoswen sadly leaves the stage, which is sad since she was one of the masters I was personally rooting for. This is attributed to her inability to really associate with the rest of the crew, as she will view all parties as threats to humanity should they take a hold of the grail. She'll get farther than Shaka based off her ability to calmly analyse her enemies and make a really good solo play on her own, but she will either realise she is hilariously outmatched and send Samson as an assist (who will likely die agains a servant like Bhishma who can cancel his revival), or will die trying to act out on a plan of her own against Risei. That said, she is a good match against Risei himself, being able to trip him up and use the environment around her, but it is ultimately her Servant's poor matchup and her reluctance to join forces with people she all equally views as villians.

1 Point - Erwin van der Zwan and Michiel de Ruyter

Alright, hear me out. Michiel is easily in the top three servants in terms of pure power, and his NP combined with Tanis should they ally would deal a devastating blow to Bhishma, if not outright kill him. However I see Christian as having an undeniable advantage in forming allies, as well as Lucifer being an immensely more powerful servant with Samson and Richenda out of the picture. I can actually see Lucifer dealing a fatal or crippling blow to Bhishma with a team attack, due to the masters being able to find out who the Heroic Spirit is relatively quickly with the NP spam, and Lucy's boosts from having knowledge on the servant. Christian is also an experianced magus hunter and should be able to survive combat with Risei, whereas Erwin is utterly boned if he directly combats the magus. Being able to employ military tactics and using what is left of his men to fight Risei at multiple angles will also steal Cannavale another edge over Erwin in this aspect. However, most important in this is how uselss Michiel is if his NP is cancelled by Bhishma, and unless an attack is coordinated, Michiel will get killed if his NP is countered even once.
