Between saber archer lancer caster and rider with a  sneak attack if Gil won there would be no way to beat him the next time

Well, like I said, it depends on planning.

All I'm trying to do is work out a way to make it so that Sakura and Rider can play a decent role. Particularly Sakura....

[lantzblades]

Gil is an egotist but it has limits dude and believably letting archer go or not using full power in the second fight is beyond them

Well, OK, then we need to work something out here, because I would like Sakura to actually get to use her new-found abilities at some point....

[lantzblades]

She has a number of possible disciplines of magic available so you need to determine what her abilities are

Well, the same as they are in canon, presumably....

ER no, see Sakura has a wealth of potential so it would be limited to our imagination

[Cherry Lover]

ER no, see Sakura has a wealth of potential so it would be limited to our imagination

Well, she has a wealth of potential, but she does only have a few weeks to develop it. Training isn't something which happens instantly....

I mean that it doesn't have to be the usual stuff like healing of puppetry if we don't want

Well, I don't recall Sakura ever being particularly good at healing, her magic doesn't allow for it. And, like I said, the main limitation is time. She only has a few days to train, she's not going to become the best magus ever.

Water is a healing aspect  that aside no not the best but decently useful

Water might be a healing aspect, but the Matou magic is explicitly not good at healing, due to the nature of it.

[lantzblades]

Yes but starting at the beginning she could work with the affinity to make it good

[Cherry Lover]

Yes but starting at the beginning she could work with the affinity to make it good

Hmm, I remember her saying in HF that the Matou magic could only be used to cause harm, not to heal.

[lantzblades]

Yeah at that point sure but she doesn't have to use just matou methods
