Background
Muramasa sengo a japanese swordsmith around the 16th century. He is famous for his rivalry with masamune and is known to create cursed weaponry that eventually kills its users. In fgo he is summoned as a pseudo servant using the body of some random guy, as he proclaims himself to not be "good enough" to be summoned as a regular servant. (Standard japanese passive aggressive) As a swordsmith summoned under the saber class with a body that is an incarnation of the sword who is also the bone of his sword, naturally he is very proficient in the creation of swords. As such despite him being in a saber class (A class suited to frontline fighting) all his parameters went towards magecraft, support and creation and have resulted in him being something more akin to a caster.
Design Philosophy
Shiro and to an extent muramasa is basically the japanese embodiment of a "sheathed blade". He is an overall nice guy, easy going, forgiving and is completely non-confrontational. He is quite often underestimated and is more than happy to play the role of a wife in times of peace. However, during troubled times like when ilya has to brought back he is "unsheathed" and what comes out is a grotesque sword that is so demonic and so evil that it will thirst for the blood of both its enemies and its user before the sword itself implodes leaving behind an empty shell that has no soul devoid of its memories or purpose.
Stats & Skills Breakdown
5 star servant: Cause DW isnt stupid and knows ppl will whale for him
Saber class: It is canon
Atk/HP: Atk is higher than bride by about 200 while HP is lower than bride about 200.
NP gain: For a saber, his np gain is absurdly high 2nd only to bride. Though since he is being made like a caster with triple arts deck he is technically competing with casters in which case his np gain is average.
Triple arts deck: To signify that he is a swordsmith/mage rather than a frontline fighter and to have more in common with the original EMIYA archer.
Territory Creation A: He has this skill in canon and also his workshop follows him around O_o which puts his proficiency with it on the upper echelons of casters
Item Construction Ex+ (Weapon): A variation of the item construction skill, making it affect the creation of weaponry only instead of other things. Being a famed swordsmith who is in the body of someone who can use projection (or tracing) is an absurdly efficient combo. It improves the magnitude of his buff skills by 15% (So a buff that originally applys a 50% would apply a 57.5% instead)
ACTIVE SKILLS
Empty Self/Ideal: This is more for flavour than anything else. Even if he is being possessed by someone else who is mentally similar to him, jumping in front of a truck with no backup plan is par for the course. I originally planned on giving him a defense DEBUFF as well to nail down the stupidity but I refrained and gave him guts cause people die when they are killed.
Cursed Weaponry: While the last skill was Emiya Shirou, this skill is the embodiment of Sengo Muramasa. Again it is basically the 2nd skill of bride but instead of 50% star gen it gives 40% crit. It also adds in a new Demerit "Bloodthirsty Blade" which represents the cursed nature of muramasa's blades in that if it doesnt get any blood it will take the user's blood instead. Interestingly if the opponent is using invincibility or evade it counts as no damage dealt so the wielder will take damage.
Limited Zero/Over: Bringing both muramasa and shirou together and represents their "Sheathed blade nature" This skill is basically the gimmick that justifies him having a triple arts deck with a buster np. By using this skill he can turn all his cards this turn into buster cards, thus allowing him to basically Buster chain on demand. He also gains a star absorbtion buff to make him the star for this turn and a np damage buff to reward players of their timing with this skill.
Noble phantasm: I had a lot of trouble deciding this one. For all intents and puposes muramasa should die after using this np as such it should technically be like Arash dealing massive damage and killing him. But honestly I feel that having a 5 star arash is a bit pointless, as such I made it to deal 2k damage to himself instead. I was also torn on what classification to give this np, anti-world, anti-fortress or anti-divine? After lots of thinking I went "f*ck it" gave in to the inner fanboy and made it anti-world... which makes no sense since all anti-world noblephantasms are alien in origin but whatever it is on par with Ea now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
