A Fate collab with Nasu at the helm and Takeuchi on art Hoyo really knows how to make a crossover feel like an event, not just a cash grab. Free Archer is a nice touch, but I’m already bracing for the gacha pain when pulling for Saber. Wind Saber and Quantum Archer sound fun, but I’m low-key more excited to see how Nasu’s writing meshes with HSR’s tone—hopefully it’s more FateZero and less FateExtella.

Wow, a Fate collab with Nasu writing the story Hoyo really went all out—this is gonna be a must-play for lore nerds and gacha addicts alike. Free Archer is just the cherry on top Saber as a wind DPS and Archer as quantum Can’t wait to see how their kits shake up the meta—Fate fans eating good in 2025.
