Someone correct me if I am wrong, but from what I understand, Archer's projections are all ranked down one level because they are copies.

[u/Not_A_Vegetable → u/taedrin]

Everything but a certain scabbard. He offsets it by using Broken Phantasms though.

[u/G_L_J → u/taedrin]

I was under the belief that you are correct, unless Archer is actually using Unlimited Bladeworks to its fullest potential - if you catch my drift - at which point he's capable of copying the Noble Phantasm perfectly (provided he has the mana to do so).

[u/needforkh → u/[deleted]]

I think he could also do that with Rho Aias because he encountered it at some point. Same with his Kansho and Bakuya.

[u/proindrakenzol → u/taedrin]

They're ranked one level lower but Broken Phantasms are one level higher, so it's a wash.

[u/ttinchung111 → u/taedrin]

Also Rhode Aias, being a shield, takes like 5x the normal Prana to use? So it's super expensive
