Essential Material: Blood-Stained Queen (Patreon)

A unique skill derived from Aífe’s dual nature as both a queen (leader of armies, ruler of a nation) and a great warrior. It is a representation of her ability to both lead her army against another and to fight duels against other powerful foes one-on-one. 

Whereas certain other queens would not lower themselves to engage in direct combat and dirty their hands or else do not possess the mental capability to switch from regal queen to bloodthirsty warrior, Aífe considers one a mere extension of the other and acts with elegant brutality in all aspects.

Thus is the nature of a queen who rules the battlefield and her kingdom with the same ruthless smile. 

Whenever she is simply one combatant amongst many, or when her opponents are a group or an army, the effectiveness of her own Anti-Army, Anti-Fortress type Noble Phantasms is increased, allowing her to show an increased performance befitting a queen of her stature. Similarly, whenever she is engaged in single combat against one foe, all of her abilities related to battle are significantly boosted, however, as a result, the effectiveness of all other types of Noble Phantasm except Anti-Unit are drastically reduced. 

For any other Heroic Spirit, such a limitation might indeed be a great burden. However, for Aífe, it is only a matter of course. It is only natural that a duel between two warriors should be limited only to Noble Phantasms designed for use against a single target, after all.
