Power Progression
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Heroine Series baseline | 137 | X is described as a top-tier Servant rather than an outlier in raw power, but her Heroine Series specialization makes her exceptionally dangerous against Sabers and other Artoria Species. |
| Near the Artoria Species’ limit | 119 | Other Artoria Species report that X suddenly grew powerful enough to approach their species’ limit after arriving on Earth. |
| Artoria-element amplification | 142 | The Artoria sub-element greatly accelerates an Artoria Species’ production of Artoria elements, particularly through intimate interaction with Arthur; X’s dramatic increase in strength is cited as proof of the effect. |
Background / History
X originates from the Azure Galaxy, a technologically advanced Servant civilization. She arrived on Earth aboard the Dong Starion Unit 2, presenting herself to the Empire as an Evil God Hunter pursuing the “Evil God Artoria Species.” Arthur confirmed that her extraterrestrial origin was genuine, even if her dramatic presentation made the officials doubt her judgment. 112 113
Her stated mission is to eradicate Artoria Species—whom she broadly labels “evil Sabers”—so that she can become the sole Artoria. Arthur initially treats this obsession as harmless chuunibyou behavior, but later realizes that she is fully willing to kill other Artorias, including Omega. 111 129
Arthur persuades X to keep her anti-@@REF_ENTITY_5273683@@ operations secret, exploiting her trust by claiming that the Empire depends on her stealthy assistance. She becomes markedly quieter and more obedient afterward, while continuing to imagine herself as Arthur’s indispensable protector. 114
During the conflict with the Throne of Evil, X confronts her corrupted counterpart, X Alter. She attempts to reason with her rather than kill her, but is overwhelmed and badly injured. X Alter ultimately spares her because Arthur would be saddened by her death. 97 100
After the arrival of numerous Artoria Species on Earth, X’s campaign becomes a genuine threat. She kills Omega immediately after Omega abandons her attempt on Arthur’s life, demonstrating that X’s Saber-hunting ideology is not merely theatrical. X is subsequently detained alongside XX, expresses remorse, and promises Arthur to behave better. 129 133
X later participates in Arthur’s effort to contact and consolidate the Artoria factions. She is sent alongside XX to find the Knights of the Round Table and Dark Round Table, is kidnapped by Ultimate Heroine Z, and eventually takes part in the Artoria Species’ battle royale. 137 140 146
The Lion King defeats and eliminates X from the competition by piercing her heart with Rhongomyniad, after X’s Light Cannon attack fails to stop her. X nevertheless remains among Arthur’s Artoria allies in later eras, ultimately receiving authority over the sea, navigation, and maritime trade within the Roman Pantheon. 152 282
Appearance
X resembles an Artoria variant and favors an energetic, casual style over knightly formalwear. At Orleans, she wears a blue-and-gray tracksuit jacket over a crop top, shorts, and sneakers; she is also associated with a dark-blue baseball cap and a prominent ahoge. 111 129 140
- Blue-themed casual clothing, contrasting with the darker armor and clothing of Alter variants. 97 140
- Carries herself with conspicuous enthusiasm, often striking exaggerated poses or standing on tables while making announcements. 112
- Wields an azure Holy Sword, which can split into a second, ominous red Magic Sword in battle. 130
Personality
X is energetic, impulsive, and intensely theatrical. She frames her life as a heroic crusade against “evil gods,” treats ordinary events as covert operations, and readily believes Arthur when he validates her mission. 112 114
Despite her grandiose behavior, X is emotionally straightforward. She is fiercely possessive of Arthur, regards him as her child, and becomes jealous when she sees him with the Einzbern maids. Her concern for Galahad and panic during Arthur’s danger also show that her protectiveness is sincere. 75 91 97
Her defining flaw is her indiscriminate prejudice against Artoria Species. X can show affection toward people close to Arthur, yet regards other versions of herself as targets to be eliminated. The death of Omega reveals the lethal consequences of this conviction. 129
Abilities & Skills
Assassin-Class Stealth
Although X often imagines herself as a Saber, she is an Assassin-class Servant and possesses stealth-oriented abilities. 75 114
- Agrees to conduct covert operations against Artoria Species after Arthur orders her to avoid public declarations. 114
- Her self-image as a frontal “Saber of Sabers” frequently conflicts with her actual Assassin classification. 114 136
Heroine Series Saber Specialization
X belongs to the Heroine Series, a subspecies specifically suited to fighting Sabers and Artoria Species. 137
- Can engage several Artoria Species at once and retreat safely even when unable to win outright. 137
- Her specialization allows a group of Heroine Series members to suppress forces several times their number. 137
- Her raw strength is described as top-tier Servant level rather than true outlier level. 137

- Fought Arthur in close combat during the Artoria Species battle royale, though his Pure White Twin Swords suppressed her. 146
- Was ultimately defeated by the Lion King after failing to finish her with a Light Cannon. 152
Artoria Element Enhancement
X’s strength rises sharply through the Artoria element connected to Arthur. 119 142
- Her enhanced state is reported to be close to the limit attainable by an Artoria Species. 119
- The Artoria sub-element accelerates element production by dozens or hundreds of times, with further acceleration during intimate interaction with Arthur. 142
- This growth makes Arthur a strategic resource for the Servant Universe’s Artoria Species. 142
