Attributes
Attributes are hidden characteristics of Servants and other characters that work much like the Class triangles, with some attributes being more or less effective versus others. A brief explanation of attributes is given by Da Vinci in London, Chapter 3. They are more thoroughly explained in Emiya's interlude, To be a Master.
Human: Servants with the Human attribute are Servants whose powers are drawn from great deeds they accomplished throughout history. Examples include the Roman Emperors or the Hassans.
Earth: Servants of the Earth attribute are Servants who frequent myths and legends and typically include the more monstrous or fanciful servants.
Heaven/Sky: Servants of the Heaven attribute are Servants who possess a high amount of divinity, often gods or demigods themselves. Examples are Heracles and Stheno.
Star: Servants of the Star attributes are "the hopes of mankind" and whose actions shaped humanity's destiny.
Beast: Beasts are entities classified as the Evils of Man, commonly referred to as the Beasts of Calamity. They exist to bring about the annihilation of Mankind and threaten the continuity of history.
The damage multiplier relationships between each attribute are summarized in the table below:
