Introductions

Archer is a 5★ character with the Quantum element who follows the Path of The Hunt.
Archer is part of the Fate/stay night collaboration with one copy also being given out to all players for free. Additionally, Archer's Light Cone The Hell Where Ideals Burn is also available when spending 200 pulls during the Collaboration Benefits event period.

"First meeting, huh? Just call me Archer. Lucky for us, we're not here to kill each other, so let's keep things civil — if we can."

Despair plays in cycles from past and future. Countless grand ideals were incinerated before that red and sacred cloth. Yet, do not let this smear of ashes fool you...
Should someone create a phantasmal sweet dream under the guise of false ideals, then he will burn again, facing down the hypocrites of the world till the very end.
No matter where he is, he always remains justice's steadfast companion.
