Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius. Nikola Tesla was considered to be among the greatest intellectuals of the 19th and 20th century and is a world-famous physicist/electrical energy who revolutionized the world with his inventions, enough that he was given namesakes and titles such as the "modern Prometheus" and a "prodigy without equal", with his intellect being matched only by that of the man known as the King of Inventions himself, Thomas Alva Edison. As a Servant, Nikola Tesla is boastful of himself when it comes to his intellect, claiming to have the surpassed the likes of several thunder gods such as Indra, Zeus, and Perkunas but is nonetheless a capable Servant who can compete with and keep up with many Servants despite his status as a much recent Servant due to being a pioneer that gave a turning point in mankinds advancement.
Weaknesses: He cannot fight in Spirit Form. Using System Keraunos by its True Name uses up a lot of mana, though this can be countered by his Galvanism ability to replenish his reserves.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Noble Phantasm
System Keraunos: Legend of Mankind - Advent of Lightning.
| “ | This is the lightning of the Thunder Gods! Behold, the grandeur! System Keuranos! | „ |
| ~ Tesla invoking his Noble Phantasm |
- System Keraunos: Legend of Mankind - Advent of Lightning: The Noble Phantasm of Nikola Tesla, the sublimation of his various exploits during life and the mystery of many supernatural legends related to him and summons him into the Archer class. It is a powerful Noble Phantasm that emits a "furious power" that can be likened to the second coming of gods of thunder and lightning from various mythologies. This Noble Phantasm allows Tesla extremely fine and powerful control over electromagnetism even without releasing its True Name. Upon unleashing its full might by calling its True Name, Tesla is able to create an "outbreak of a limited, quasi-like space-time dislocation" that can be used to obliterate opponents and their attacks, thus serving as an offensive and defensive Noble Phantasm. This ability's mana cost is especially high, but this can be offset by his Galvanism ability.
Class skills
- Independent Action: The ability to remain independent even when rejecting the Magical Energy supply from the Master. At the higher ranks, it is also possible to remain for extended periods of time in this world without an established contract. It is both useful and troublesome depending on the disposition of the Servant and the rank of Independent Action. Acting in autonomy from the Master's Magical Energy supply, the Master can concentrate their own Magical Energy on large spells, or the Servant will be fine even in the case they can not supply Magical Energy due to injury. Thanks to his B Rank, it is possible for Tesla to stay in the world for two days without a Master. However, this is the ideal value achieved by maximally conserving mana and avoiding battle and Noble Phantasm usage.
- Magic Resistance: Grants protection against magical effects. Differently from the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether. Due to Nikola's C Rank, it only cancels spells with a chant below two verses but will not be able to defend against Magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals.
Personal Skills
- Galvanism: A skill that allows unrestricted conversion and accumulation of magical energy and bio-electricity. Thaumaturgical attacks involving formless materials such as air manipulation, energy bullets, and beam attacks are converted to electricity and completely nullified, with excess energy being discharged into the environment. Tesla can use the electricity he absorbs to rapidly heal himself and temporarily bolster his abilities and restore his mana reserves.
- Natural Born Genius: A skill for those prodigies who were born with an unnaturally high intellect. Due to his A rank, it allows him the use of most skills excluding those inherent to the body (such as Divinity) or ones unique to particular heroes with B-A rank efficiency. Thus he could theoretically use skills such as Mana Burst, Clairvoyance, and Eye of the Mind (True). However, Tesla does not use this skill very often.
- Pioneer of the Stars: A unique Skill given to heroes that became turning points in the human history. Due to his key role in the development of the technology required to harness electricity, which until then was a domain limited to beings from the Age of Gods, and revolutionizing human civilization as a whole, Tesla has an EX-Rank in this ability, allowing him to turn "impossible events" into "events that can be realized" with the resources he has at his disposal.
