Rabbit's Reviews Dioscuri
NA Release Date: 03/24/2022
Introduction

A rare two-in-one Servant, Caster and Pollux are added to the game collectively as Dioscuri. Dioscuri is pretty straightforward as Arts Servants go—they don’t have great damage or much valuable utility, but they do have very good sustained NP gain, which makes them pretty easy to use. They can also spook, so while they don’t have much to recommend themselves over Nero Bride or Beni-Enma (or even Munenori or Saber Hokusai, really), they’re a strong addition to the general pool and a perfectly usable spook, especially if you don’t already have any of the competition at your disposal.

Conclusion

Dioscuri feels a bit like an outdated Servant design, with a dodge in the wrong place, a gimmicky skill that’s only sorta useful, and an old skill type (in Voyager) on a Servant whose kit doesn’t particularly benefit from it. They’re propped up by their very good NP gain and their pierce-everything NP, and they can be strong in the right team, but they just don’t have much to recommend them over their competition overall, and even outside of that their kit doesn’t quite come together as well as it could. Decent Servant, totally usable, not exciting.
