Besides Magic Resistance, class abilities also include high Riding. Although attributes tend to be lower compared to the Three Knight Classes, this is compensated by the abilities of the mount described in legend. Heroic Spirits who rode mounts (not limited to living creatures) qualify for this class.

The affinity between the Master and the Heroic Spirit will determine which class the Heroic Spirit will be summoned into. For instance, the only class appropriate for Artoria is Sabre, but Hercules, who was said in legends to be proficient with all weapons, can be summoned into all classes but Caster. Heroic Spirits determine their classes on the basis of their characteristics, and then summoned as the Servant of the corresponding class. Since there cannot be repeats of any one class, the seven Servants participating in a Holy Grail War will be of different classes.
