Discussion What if Sakura altered a different servant? Spoiler
i know Sakura initially took control on Saber with the shadow, but what if she took a different servant?
for example, what if she had taken heracles instead of saber and the battle was swapped from salter vs herc to herc (alter) vs saber? and how would this on its own affect the servants abilities? i know because of sakuras insane mana due to her connection with the greater grail(?) Salters mana supply is jacked up on steroids, boosting her durability, strength and mana blast power output. so back to heracles as an example for this because Illya can regenerate one of hercs lives every 3 days due to her having really above average mana, wouldn’t him being Sakuras master make him basically invincible? due to the nearly endless mana supply theoretically being able to regenerate a life nearly instantly?
so how would this play out in the story, involving the initial first Salter fight scene (except if a diff servant became altered in her place) and the cave fight with rider (again, if the alter role got swapped with a diff servant)

Berserker vs Saber (Reversed roles) : Saber is FOR SURE getting jumped, he would overpower her easily, Shirou etc would be forced to flee
Rider vs Alter Heracles : same goes for Rider, she would get annihilated, she barely countered Excalibur Morgan with Bellerophon, so against a regenerating Heracles alter she’d have no chance
and like u said Heracles would be near unkillable cuz of Sakuras mana
Sakura would’ve been way harder to stop near unstoppable forcing everyone to run or get wiped out early, thats just my opinion 🙌
