However, the Einzberns, as one of the "Three Founding Families" and well-informed of the rules of the Servant system, was able to preemptively interfere with the system and summon Hercules as Berserker.Īmong all the classes, Sabre, Lancer and Archer are also called the "Three Knights". The affinity between the Master and the Heroic Spirit will determine which class the Heroic Spirit will be summoned into. For instance, the only class appropriate for Artoria is Sabre, but Hercules, who was said in legends to be proficient with all weapons, can be summoned into all classes but Caster. Heroic Spirits determine their classes on the basis of their characteristics, and then summoned as the Servant of the corresponding class.

There are seven Servant Classes: Sabre, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Assassin and Berserker.
