Overview

"I'm seething with power... There's no need to hold back anymore."

Drenched in All Evils of the World from the cursed Holy Grail, Altria Pendragon (Alter), the corrupted version of the King of Knights, is a straightforward but effective offensive powerhouse. As a Buster-based damage dealer, she specializes in obliterating a single wave of enemies with her unusually strong AoE Noble Phantasm.

Altria Alter’s focus on offense is exemplified by her sky-high ATK, one of the highest of any 4* Servant. The foundation of her kit is Excalibur Morgan, one of the strongest AoE NPs in the game. Its unique strength is a much higher base NP damage modifier than usual, allowing it to outdamage similar NPs by far. To further bolster her damage, she brings two handy steroids: the Altria signature Mana Burst for selfish Buster Performance, and the reliable team ATK Up of Charisma, albeit at a low rank. Between her multiplicative buffs and her high damage modifier, Altria Alter is one of the best 4-Star AoE burst damage dealers out there.

However, Alter suffers from both a relatively low health pool and average generation stats. As such, she needs help from allies who can cover these weaknesses. Additionally, despite her high NP multiplier, she lacks any other effective damage modifiers, so she isn't optimal for battles with a single high-HP boss. Altria Alter also brings absolutely minimal team support to the table; outside of the small buff from Charisma and a small amount of critical stars from Instinct, she is an entirely selfish Servant.

All in all, with her powerful Noble Phantasm and steroids, Altria Alter’s Excalibur Morgan is an invaluable part of one’s Chaldea. When properly supported, the Dark King of Knights can freely blow through waves of even the toughest enemies.

Altria Alter's identity as a walking nuclear strike makes the choice of what skills to level fairly straightforward. The higher level her steroids get, the more enemies she can wipe out. Therefore, prioritizing Mana Burst and Charisma in that order gets the maximum returns for her burst turns. Instinct can safely be ignored if Masters lack resources, as it is underwhelming in effect even when maxed out.

• Mana Burst is a simple but strong Buster buff that serves as Altria Alter's main NP steroid. Max it first to emphasize her burst damage.
• Charisma provides a modicum of team support, as well as adding another multiplicatively stacking buff on Altria Alter's NP turns. Max it second for the secondary damage buff and slight team support.
• Intuition is one of those skills which gives a low return on investment. Although the total performance improvement from 4 to 14 stars seems great, a maximum of 14 stars at level 10 cannot reliably guarantee crits on its own. It can be safely ignored, or leveled last if Masters really want to fully level Altria Alter.

Craft Essence Recommendation

Kaleidoscope

The Imaginary Element

The Black Grail

Heaven's Feel

Aerial Drive

Holy Night Supper

Golden Sumo: Boulder Tournament

Limited/Zero Over

Verdant Sound of Destruction

Hero Elly's Adventure

Altria Alter's main goal is to blow up a wave of enemies as hard as possible. This makes Starting NP Gauge, NP Damage Up, and Buster Up Craft Essences ideal. Starting NP Gauge helps overcome her middling natural NP gain, which is especially helpful for farming. NP Damage Up scales very well with her in-built steroids and allows her to wipe even stronger waves. Buster Up Craft Essences eschew finishing the trinity of damage buffs and instead strengthen her NP slightly and her basic Buster cards significantly.

• Kaleidoscope / Imaginary Element: As Altria Alter's main objective is to get her NP up as fast as possible for that burst damage, these CEs will help her a lot in that regard. Especially when farming, these are her premium choices of CE.
• The Black Grail / Heaven's Feel: Although with these CEs Altria Alter has to build NP on her own (or with the help of support Servants), the damage from her NP while equipping NP Damage CEs is ludicrously high. Black Grail is a riskier option given her natural squishiness, but gives far greater returns, whereas Heaven's Feel offers a safer boost.
• Aerial Drive / Holy Night Supper / Golden Sumo: Boulder Tournament: These CEs offer a great balance between letting Altria Alter start with her NP gauge partly filled and increasing her overall damage. Aerial Drive and Holy Night Supper add an NP Damage buff that stacks multiplicatively with Mana Burst and Charisma, whereas Golden Sumo adds a universal ATK buff to all her cards.
• Limited/ Zero Over / Verdant Sound of Destruction / Hero Elly's Adventure: Since Excalibur Morgan is a Buster NP, these CEs will push that damage even higher. However, the damage increase from pure Buster Up CEs will not match NP Damage CEs; instead, her basic Buster cards will benefit. Hero Elly's Adventure is a hybrid option which adds both Buster Up and NP Damage.
