EMIYA's Noble Phantasm isn't just to rip-off Gilgamesh though.

Unlimited Blade Works is basically a mental factory - dropping the Aria only serves to summon the Reality Marble where he can beat Gilgamesh at his own game. He can use Projection magic to create a replica of any weapon he has seen (even a tiny glance is enough), reproduced within UBW. The Replica in itself is identical to the original with about the same abilities, but it's stats are all 1 rank lower.

For an example, in Fate/Extella, when Archer uses UBW he uses Nero's Aestus Estus, Gawain's Excalibur Galatine, and Chulainn's Gae Bolg. And he also has an attack where he outright blasts the enemy with light using Excalibur. Granted, it's in the Moon Cell and thus his abilities are far less limited (using Excalibur like that would normally kill him), but still.

And he can also blow them up, which is what he does with Caladbolg II. Which IIRC took out 1 or 2 of Heracles's lives at once.

Not to mention he can also reproduce Shields, even if with a higher cost and less efficiency. Even then, Rho Aias was strong enough to block Gae Bolg, the spear that twists Space and Time to strike the enemy's heart.

Now, could Ozpin beat Archer? Likely not. Servants are very damn fast, generally, and able to jump great distances, and that's before we get to their abilities. Ozpin is also very damn fast, but best case scenario he would barely catch up.

On the other hand, if he fights Archer like he fought Cinder, then Archer has no real chances of saying the Aria to summon UBW, so he wouldn't be able to just skewer him like a monkey in a barrel.

I don't know if this applies here, but are servants immune to conventional weapons, you can only damage them with magic based attack. Ozpin may be a wizard, but is his cane is anyway special?
