Strategy
- Cu Chulainn is a perfect Servant to use at the end of the party. He has a high chance of survivability through his Active and Passive Skills.
- His Gae Bolg Barbed Spear that Pierces with Death is extremely useful as there is a chance that it can cause instant death on an enemy.
- Another hero works well is Cuchulainn (Prototype) due to them being able to chain Quick Cards. While chaining Quick cards, it increases his chances to inflict critical damage.
- EMIYA (Assassin) increases his evasion and allows him to sustain longer periods of time in battle. However, this kind of build is skill dependent and may lose its credibility due to cool down periods.
- Medusa (Rider) relies heavily on Quick Cards that even her Noble Phantasm is a quick card. Chaining those will allow quick elimination of enemies and also constant critical hits. The sequence would be using Bellophron and then Gae Bolg to annihilate the enemies.
Best Equipment
- Rin’s Pendant – Increases his already heightened Critical Damage. Due to him already having a heightened crit rate due to his Quick Cards, he can continue dealing heavy damage towards enemies in a single blow.
- Wolves of Mibu – Increases the effectivity of Quick Command Cards which boosts his combat power.
- Holy Night Sign – As an event craft essence, it’s easy to limit break at the same time focuses on his Quick Card output and Critical Hit ratio.
- Moonlight Fest – This particular craft essence works well with his Quick Card combos plus his Critical Hit ratio.

Origins
Known as the mighty hound of Ulster, Cu Chulainn is a celebrated hero of the Ulster cycle. His mother is the sister of King Conchubar where he would watch other boys play. However, the endless teasing would soon cause his battle fury to emerge. With that, Cu Chulainn’s legend began.
His original name is Setanta until he killed Culann’s hound. Because of this, Setanta then swore to repay Culann. To mark this, he changed his name to Cu Chulainn which means “Hound of Culann”. From then on, he swore to be Culann’s hound for the rest of life. While training with Conchubar and his men, he also found a foster father in Fergus Mac Roich. The two often times exchanged blows and learned battle tactics from one another thus, creating the knights of the red branch.
Cu Chulainn survived for a long time, even battling against many of Conchubar’s enemies. When one of the rival kingdom’s dared steal the bull of Ulster, all the knights save Cu Chulainn stood strong. Because of this, Cu Chulainn fought thousands and thousands of men before retaking the bull.
However, Cu Chulainn soon reached the point where Conchubar asked him to find a wife. None would satisfy him except Emer, daughter of Forgall the Wily. To earn her father’s approval, he had to train under Scathach – the warrior woman who lived in the Land of Shadows. He survived as her pupil, slew Emer’s father, and took Emer as his wife.
Despite the many battles, his life was short lived. As his water turned into blood, he knew he wasn’t going to return alive. His deathblow came from Lugaid, a warrior from a rival tribe. Thus, he soon became a heroic spirit of the Grail to once again battle.

I don’t agree with:
Pairing him up with Jeanne mainly bc of his deck and jeanne’s doesn’t match that well. And also
individually, they both do well in survivability so it’s redundant to use both in a long game.
Be elegant and divine banquet doesn’t work well.
Since Cu has a BBQQA deck, you really can’t count on him for crit stars generation (unless ofc if there are other quick servants with him).
If you’re gonna go with NP & Survibability, it’s better to go with Q card effectiveness and/or Crit Star Damage. Q card effectiveness increases his overall damage output and c star generation. C star damage helps him deal damage and generate large np charge at the same time.
CE’s to use: Holy Night Sign (Christmas Event CE) bc it grants both mentioned above. It’s better if you can limit breakthrough this CE since it equals to a QUICK version of Victor of the moon and Another Ending.
That’s true 🙂 Thanks for your input! 🙂
Actually, I found also good use with him using the moonlight fest craft essence. 🙂
“Be Elegant – This allows him to gain more Critical Stars in order for him to continue dealing Critical Hits.”
Nope this is not how Be Elegant works. It’s suppose to increase start generation rate, not Star Absorption rate.
I think Cu Chulainn BBQQA deck may mess with Jeanne’s art chain, thus making it’s more difficult to ultilize her NP.
“EMIYA (Assassin) increases his evasion and allows him to sustain longer periods of time in battle. However, this kind of build is skill dependent and may lose its credibility due to cool down periods.”
Sorry for my bad English but i don’t understand how this work.
When EMIYA (Assassin) uses Scapegoat, he can redirect attacks to another target. This allows Cu Chulainn to increase the duration of his Protection of Arrows for a longer period of time. However, Scapegoat only works for one turn so, the one turn delay may not be worth it.
So the same result can be achieved by using any order servant with taunt skill?
