Excalibur. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 20 (3d8 + 7) slashing damage, or 23 (3d10 + 7) slashing damage if used with two hands, plus 19 (3d12) radiant damage.
Air Strike. Artoria unleashes a blast of air in a 120-foot line that is 5 feet wide. Each creature in that line must make a DC 22 Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, a target takes 21 (6d6) bludgeoning damage and, if it is Huge or smaller, is pushed up to 20 feet away from Artoria or knocked prone (Artoria's choice). On a success, a target takes half the bludgeoning damage, but is neither pushed or knocked prone. If Invisible Air is not active, Artoria cannot use this action and using this action ends the effects of Invisible Air.
EXCALIBUR (Recharges after a Long Rest)! Artoria fires a beam of holy light from Excalibur in a 1,000-foot line that is 20 feet wide. Each creature in that line must make a DC 22 Dexterity saving throw, taking 130 (20d12) radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Objects and structures fully within the line also take this damage unless it is an artefact. A creature slain by this effect is disintegrated along with any equipment it was wearing or carrying except for artefacts. In addition, if the creature takes an amount of damage greater than or equal to half its maximum hit points, it is stunned for 1 minute.
Artoria must then succeed on a DC 22 Constitution saving throw, gaining three levels of exhaustion on a failed saving throw, or gaining one level of exhaustion on a successful saving throw. Artoria cannot use this action if Invisible Air is active.
Invisible Air. Artoria turns Excalibur invisible. Artoria can choose to end this effect as a bonus action. Whilst Excalibur is invisible, each attack made with Excalibur deals an additional 9 (2d8) slashing damage, or 11 (2d10) slashing damage if used with two hands.
Mana Burst. Immediately after Artoria hits a target with an attack roll, she can force that target to make a DC 22 Constitution saving throw. The target takes 39 (6d12) force damage on a failed saving throw, or half as much damage on a successful saving throw.

Description
"A man without fear cannot be wise." - Saber
Excalibur. Artoria is famous for many reasons but her most defining feature is the blade she carries. This holy weapon is known as Excalibur and no words can be used to describe its craftsmanship or power. Even calling it beautiful would only dirty it, such is the power of Excalibur. Though others may wield it, few can use the power of Excalibur like Artoria can.
King of Knights. History remembers Artoria as King Arthur, all legends about the mythical king of Britain actually referring to Artoria. It was Artoria who pulled Caliburn from the stone. It was Artoria who led Camelot to glory. It was Artoria who founded the Round Table. It was Artoria who wielded Excalibur. Nobody knows more about honour and chivalry than the once and future king.
Servant. Before death could claim her, Artoria agreed to become a Heroic Spirit who could be summoned as a Servant, a special type of familiar that very few can summon. The magic that bounds and calls Artoria forth stems from the Holy Grail and without it, she returns to the point of her death. Like other participants in a Holy Grail war, Artoria desires to claim the Holy Grail and use its power to save her kingdom from ruin.
Variant: Avalon
Excalibur is one piece of a set. The blade has a scabbard that carries power even greater than the legendary blade it holds. The scabbard, known as Avalon, is Artoria's third Noble Phantasm, though it is unique. Before her death, Artoria lost Avalon which means it does not appear with her when summoned. For Artoria to harness the power of Avalon, she must find it again. If reunited with it, Artoria's already incredible power multiplies several times over and makes her nearly invincible.
If Artoria has reclaimed Avalon, her challenge rating increases by 4 and she gains the following features:
New Reaction: Ultimate Bounded Field (Recharge 5-6). In response to being targeted by an attack, spell, or magical effect, Artoria casts Otiluke's Resilient Sphere on herself without requiring material components or concentration. The spell lasts until the start of Artoria's next turn and the sphere cannot be picked up or moved by anyone other than Artoria.
New Trait: Eternal Life. Artoria regains 30 hit points at the start of her turn. If Artoria's brain is completely destroyed, this trait ceases to function. Artoria dies only if she starts her turn with 0 hit points and doesn't regenerate.
New Trait: Excalibur's Hilt. Artoria can use EXCALIBUR! four times per long rest instead of just once. In addition, Artoria has advantage on her saving throw against gaining levels of exhaustion from using EXCALIBUR! and if her saving throw is successful, she gains no levels of exhaustion.
