Fate/Grand Order Grail Fronts Guide

The limited-time event Grail Fronts return of Fate/Grand Order is coming February 6th! Win a Grail Front to earn one Tear of the Holy Grail. The Grail Front battle format features a board with nodes, where the Master and their Servants can be deployed on the battlefield. Masters must strategically plan the movement of their allies to emerge victorious against the enemy! Here we provide you with a detailed guide to this amazing event, let's check it together!

Completing Grail Front battles will award a Tear of the Holy Grail. Combining 7 Tears of the Holy Grail will provide a full 1x Holy Grail! Tears of the Holy Grail will also be saved in the inventory if unused, so that fragments obtained from later Grail Front events can still be combined with fragments obtained from prior events.

How to Win

Two conditions allow the Master to win in a Grail Front encounter:

• Defeating the enemy Master (3 HP bars). If this is done, victory occurs even if enemy Servants are still alive.
• Defeating ALL enemy Servants. If this is done, victory occurs even if the enemy Master is still alive.

Battle Information

Servant battles occur when a Servant attempts to enter a node with an enemy Servant. A few rules affect how the battles play out:

• The attacking Servant starts their turn first, followed by the enemy turn until all turns are used up.
• Each side gets 1 turn per Servant they have in the battle.
• Any Servants adjacent to the node being attacked will also participate in the battle, and add additional turns for their respective side to the turn pool.
• Each turn that passes will reduce Skill Cooldowns for all Servants that participated, as well as Master Skill Cooldowns.

General Tips & Tricks

• Initiate Battles: Always try to be the one initiating combat, since this gives the player the first turn in battles. In some cases, it should be possible to defeat the enemy before they are even able to act.
• Keep Distance to Avoid Enemy Initiative: Staying at least 4 spaces away from an enemy (if they have 3 actions, noted by the small number in the circle in the corner of their image) makes it impossible for them to engage you first. Similarly, 3 spaces away from an enemy with 2 actions, or 2 spaces away from an enemy with 1 action will make it impossible for them to reach you on their turn, and in many cases they'll try to move as close as possible instead, leaving them open to an attack from your side. Plan accordingly!
• Watch for AoE NP Opportunities: Saving an AoE NP for an encounter where multiple enemy Servants are adjacent to a single node is highly effective. Conversely, avoid grouping Servants together if an enemy with an AoE NP is nearby.

• Protect the Master: Enemy Servants will often prioritize chasing after the player's Master pawn if a clear path to them is available. This can sometimes be used to manipulate the AI, although players should also be careful to make sure there are at least 3 nodes in between enemy Servants and their Master, or have an allied Servant available to intercept, since taking 3 hits to the Master pawn results in defeat.
• Passing Turns Restores Skill Cooldowns: Even if all your Servants never engaged in battle, every turn that passes restores skill cooldowns globally by 1 turn. If you can group your Servants in such a way that enemy Servants are dissuaded from approaching, you can stall for your skill cooldowns to fully recover by simply passing turns, and only engaging when skills are available. This applies to both Servant and Mystic Code skills!
