You are Tokiomi Tohsaka. It's one week before Sakura goes to the Matous. You have knowledge of all the routes of Fate/stay night which happens ten years later. What do you do?
I send Sakura to Edelfelts like in the Apocrypha timeline. I search for a Relic to summon Karna instead of Gilgamesh. I keep a close eye on Kirei to make sure he doesn't literally stab me in the back. I get into contact with Kiritsugu and tell him the truth about the Grail and how it's corrupted by Angra Mainyu. Stop Ryuunosuke from killing all those children. Make peace with Kariya and make sure he doesn't get wormed. Kill Zouken. Try to spare Kayneth. If he has to be killed, I make sure Waver survives so he can be El Melloi II. When everything is done, I fuck the shit out of Aoi every night.
>I search for a Relic to summon Karna instead of Gilgamesh Karna is Herk-tier in terms of mana consumption, and Tokiomi isn't an outstanding magus who could handle that. So that means most of Karna's firepower will be held back for your sake so that you won't shrivel up and die. >I get into contact with Kiritsugu and tell him the truth about the Grail and how it's corrupted by Angra Mainyu He's not going to just believe his future competitor, what proof are you going to provide? >Make peace with Kariya and make sure he doesn't get wormed You stole his girl, it's doubtful that he will accept your peaceful advances. >Kill Zouken Extremely unlikely. How are you going to accomplish it? He's the most undying character in Fate, far surpassing our record setters Lancer and Shirou.
>Search for a relic to summon karma Good luck with that. It took tokiomi decades to find a relic for gilgamesh. Kariya wouldn't get wormed if sakura is not in danger. >Kill zouken Easier said than done. >Kiritsugu believing an enemy Lol

>He's not going to just believe his future competitor, what proof are you going to provide? Since I saw/read his life story in Zero, I can talk about things only he would know. I can also get him to confirm from Acht that they summoned Avenger in the 3rd Grail war, he was the weakest servant, and died quickly. That, and I can give him a list of all the Masters who will participate in the war, and he gets freaked out.
Nathan Jones
Pretty much this. Fucker will go so mad that even Berserk will ask if he's ok.
Xavier Watson
>I can talk about things only he would know That doesn't prove anything about Angra Mainyu, only that you know his own personal information, which you could have acquired in an infinite amount of ways. This is a magical world, after all. As Waver put it in Case Files, the "howdunit" doesn't matter when it involves magi. >I can also get him to confirm from Acht Involving Acht will allow him to try to twist the truth and explain it all away. The Einzbern robots are desperate and will do anything to recover the Third Magic. I don't like your chances at out-arguing them from your position as a competitor. >I can give him a list of all the Masters who will participate in the war This can only be confirmed once the HGW begins. And a lot of things can change before that point. Are you going to deal with Ryuunosuke while he's still just a serial killer, or after he summoned Caster and becomes incredibly dangerous by the virtue of having a Servant? If it's the first, then you already changed things and got a different Master involved in his stead.

Okay, say that you're stuck with the current lineup of servants but you get to choose which servant you get, which servant would likely be a good match for you and actually have a decent chance of winning the war? Toksaka was a pretty decent magus right? The main thing holding him back was his poor compatibility with Gil.
Gabriel Anderson
Fuck loli Sakura (and Rin later). Summon loli servant, fuck her too. Convince Kariya to join grail war and summon loli servant, exchange my wife with said servant. Now I have 4 loli.
Jackson Thomas
>Option 1: Keep Gil. When he opens Gate of Babylon in the docks, don't stop him. Chances are, he'll just win the HGW right then and there. >Option 2: Take Seiba. Give her Avalon right off the bat. Guide her through her matchups, because she is dumb as a brick. Simple. >Option 3: Summon Hassan. Use Hassan like Allah intended. Assassins are objectively the strongest class, they're only held back by the narrative reasons. In the offscreen Subdivision Grail Wars of other timelines they're the most effective type of Servant and won the most.
Problem with Hassan. None of them are powerful enough to destroy the Grail, so if you kill all Masters, Angra Mainyu gets born.
Aiden Reyes
>Assassins are objectively the strongest class, they're only held back by the narrative reasons My nigga. Between Archers with sniping and Assassins with assassination, everyone else is playing the wrong game.
So if someone like Kiritsugu was Hassan's master, they could've actually won the whole thing?
Jayden Roberts
You don't need to destroy the Grail. You only need to keep 1 spare Command Spell. You know why. All I need is to open the path to the Root. I *AM* Tokiomi.
>Kiritsugu summons Hundred Face Hassan >Gives each one walky talkies, bombs, and sniper rifles. >Has them plant C4 at every master's door step >All masters but you dead Kirei was just stupid with Hassan
Benjamin Morales
Yeah, it was a solid chance. Back when Kirei ordered one of his Hassans go after Tokiomi in his fakeout, Hassan only got murdered because Gilgamesh and Tokiomi expected him to arrive right on the schedule. It was part of the plan. If it wasn't, I'd say it would be 50-50 between Goldie managing to kill Hassan before it's too late and Hassan doing his job first and then immediately dying. Which is why you don't go after the owner of Gilgamesh in this hypothetical scenario first.
Brayden Lee
I swap bodies with Sakura and give Rin to the Matous
Joseph Ortiz
To salad has access to Ruby and Sapphire given to his family by Zeldrich, both which allow the user to access virtually infinite mana via the second magic
I skipped your entire post. I just wanted to see who you were going to fuck. Was not disappointed.
Austin Baker
I remind Tokiomi to toilet-train Rin, and encourage him to be accepting of his daughter's bisexuality.
Nathan Young
Is it possible to ally with Kirei? Like, be the one to teach him the pleasure of cruelty and then double-teaming against Kerry? Kirei has his toys, I win the grail and proceed to teach Sakura and Rin about lolimanko.
