@VitaVitaAR I'm personally more enamored by the /SF Jack more because reasons, however I guess a part of why Apo!Jack didn't really grow on me despite her actually pretty nice concept and backstory was my personal dislike on what happened on her part in Apo, but eh, it's nothing but personal bias.
Grail War balance was pretty much never a concept since conception anyway. It's an intentionally rigged system from the start, although due to oversights in general, the other containers weren't as gimped as expected. Each container had their pre-set method on how would they compete, but of course, despite this technically making them equal, some ended up being better than others. Which would be fine, really.
Assassin's issue really wasn't how much they get fucked over by their container. No matter their portrayal, they'd invariably be the class that was most prone to get fucked over by the narrative itself. Because after all you couldn't just have the servant go around and do what it's supposed to do willy nilly.
Berserker still imo would be the hardest class to win with in a HGW scenario. They're even more of a one-trick pony compared to Assassin, and while they're very strong at doing what they do, their linearity made it a lot easier for other masters to plan for them while making it hard for their master to actually make plans around him, barring the very rare exceptions like Lancelot. They would go down fighting, most definitely, but actually winning would be really hard.
