Main Quests in the Limited Time Event "Grail Front - Castle of Shining Dawn, Castle of Shadowed Dusk" will be unlocked on a daily schedule.
In addition to battling in Grail Fronts as you progress in the Main Story, Free Quests where you can collect event items will unlock.
* Grail Front Clear Rewards, battle drops, Master EXP, Mystic Code EXP, and Bond Points will only be awarded for the first clear. * Clearing Grail Fronts will not fulfill Mission requirements, with the exception of the Daily Missions that require you to clear a certain number of quests. * Once you have begun a Grail Front, you cannot access anything other than the Grail Front, such as "Enhancement", "Summon", and other similar menus, until it is completed. If you select "Abandon Front" during a battle, you will return to the Grail Front setup screen, but you will have to start the Grail Front over again. * AP consumed at the beginning of a Grail Front will not be returned to you if you select "Abandon Front" and return to the Grail Front setup screen.
Below are the major updates to the Grail Front system from the Limited Time Event "Grail Front - Moonsault Operation" to this time's Limited Time Event "Grail Front - Castle of Shining Dawn, Castle of Shadowed Dusk".
- New Event Map for Grail Fronts!
- New Victory Conditions Added!
- Conversations While on the Map Added!
- Continue Function for Grail Fronts Added!
- New Advancement Routes Appear on the Map by Fulfilling Requirements!
This Grail Front has an event map, unlike previous Grail Fronts!
Move around the event map to investigate the Singularity and take on Grail Fronts to see the story unfold.
Depending on the Quests You Choose, the Event Map Will Change to Day or Night!
In this event, the event map will change to "Day" or "Night" depending on your choices in the Main Story.
The difficulty and contents of each Grail Front will also change depending on if it is Day or Night.
Additionally, once you clear a certain quest in the Main Story, you will be able to change the event map's time of day whenever you'd like.
You can battle in each Grail Front as many times as you'd like, so change the time of day on the event map and enjoy battling in the Grail Fronts that differ from the first time you took them on.
* There are treasure chests available on both Day and Night Grail Front maps. You will be able to obtain them individually from both maps. * The Grail Front Clear Rewards are shared between Day and Night, so you will only receive them upon the first clear of a Grail Front (either Day or Night). * Clear Rewards are only awarded for the first clear. Battling in a Grail Front you have already cleared will not award Clear Rewards. * You can view the story that changes with the different times of day on the event map from Material.
The victory conditions for Grail Fronts until now have been "defeat the enemy Master" or "defeat all enemies". However, from this Grail Front, new victory conditions such as "reach the Suppression Point" and "defeat a certain enemy" have been added.
In some cases, the victory conditions will change when you fulfill certain requirements while progressing through a Grail Front.
You can check the victory conditions by tapping "Rules" at the bottom left of the screen.
In this Grail Front, Servants will have conversations while on the Grail Front map. They'll also give some useful information to help you win, so you won't want to miss these!
* The conversations that occur during Grail Fronts will not be recorded in Material.
If you are defeated in a Grail Front battle, you can Continue by using three Command Spells or one Saint Quartz.
If you Continue, your ally Servants and Master will return to their original positions on the map with their HP fully restored and NP Gauge charged to 100%.
You can resume the battle just how it was before using Continue—enemies you'd damaged or defeated, as well as treasure chests you'd acquired, will remain the same—so take advantage of the favorable situation and aim for victory!
- If an ally Servant's NP Gauge was more than 100% before using Continue, it will be set at 100% after using Continue.
- Ally Servants' skill cooldowns will be reset when Continue is used.
- Ally Servants who are revived using Continue will lose any effects that were being applied to them before using Continue.
- Ally Servants who were still remaining on the map when Continue was used will generally keep effects that were being applied to them before using Continue, but some status effects will be reset.
- Status effect-applying items that were placed on the map will be replaced after using Continue, but acquired treasure chests will not be replaced.
- Ally Servants who had changed form through the use of their skills or Noble Phantasm may be in a different form when you resume the Grail Front, depending on the situation at the time you use Continue.
[If they were defeated]
They will revert to their pre-change form.
[If they were on the map (including being incapacitated due to Eternal Slumber)]
They will remain in their post-change form.
Walls on the Grail Front map can be destroyed by attacks from Masters and Servants. The amount of actions consumed when attacking walls varies by class. Your Master will also need to spend a certain amount of actions.
By destroying walls, you will be able to advance to spaces on the map that you couldn't reach before. Open up new routes to advance and gain an advantage in battle!
