# Guide
* You have a party cost similar to standard parties.
* It is generally better to use higher rarity servants and no CE as oppoesd to spreading out cost across multiple lower rarity servants.
* If you surround an enemy with 2 of your units you can have multiple attack phases. This also goes for the enemy.
* There are some tiles on the board that have temporary and permanent buffs. The floating bubbles are limited time buffs and stay with that servant, the ones on the tile only work if your servant is on that tile.
* Buffs that last 1 turn last for "2 phases". This is noteworthy for defensive buffs. For example, if the enemy attacks you and you use a 1 turn evade during your counterattack, you have used 1 phase. If you attack them with that servant on your turn, your attack is the 2nd phase and the evade will wear off on the enemy's counterattack.
* Skill cooldowns go down 1 per battle and 1 per overall turn. You can spam end turn to get your servant's CDs back up as well as mystic code.
* The default MC is the best one due to having heal and evade.
* There are treasure chests on the map. You can only get the rewards if you beat the map, you cannot gather and then retreat. If you beat the map you can retry and any uncollected chests will be there.
* You have to do both day and night maps if you want all the treasure chests, they are independent for day and night.
* The best attackers are the best soloers: Herc, QSH, Kama, Cu Lancer, Cu Alter, Barghest, Enkidu are all relevant units. Draco is also noteworthy due to her class typing.
* There are a few changes to this Grail Front compared to others:
* The more servants in your party, the more attack your servants will get. This is to offset lower rarity having lower base stats than higher rarity; it's not worth it to prioritize low rarity servants though.
* The day/night maps have different effects. Day grants stargen, night grants defense up and party HP recovery up.
* There are locations on the board you can attack that will create new pathways.
* There are some tiles that respawn enemy units. You can put a unit on it to stop the spawning.
* Some maps you don't win by beating all enemy servants or hitting the enemy master. For example, you may have to get your Master unit to an escape tile to win.
* You can CS revive grail front maps now. This doesn't reset treasure chest acquisition from the map. You and your units will start from their initial spots.
# FAQ
* This is a natural AP event. You do not need to spend apples.
* Event progression: Do event story -> do grail front maps to unlock more event story -> farm free quests with nat AP (usually the newest one). Repeat until epilogue, then farm 90+ or 90++ to shop clear.
* Daytime is generally easier. However you have to do both day and night if you want all the treasure chests.
* The event CE is powermod for both free quests (100% non-MLB, 200% MLB) and grail fronts (15% non-MLB, 30% MLB). You should try to grab it before doing the harder grail front maps and 90/90++ nodes.

Elizabeth Bathory is the Strongest—A Full Analysis
Elizabeth Bathory: Teenage Dragon Idol, Slayer of Gods, Destroyer of Plot Consistency. Nobody ever thinks twice about the girl that shows up every halloween. But after extensive research, I've identified the truth.
As FGO edges closer and closer to its finale, many wonder: who is the ultimate villain? The final boss? The BBEG? They think, "Oh, it must be Alaya!" "No, it must be Marisbury!" "It's the Fujimaru Ritsuka of CHALDEAS!"
All of them are wrong.
It's Elizabeth Bathory.
And here's how.
*
#Elizabeth Bathory—the Strongest
The first issue most will have with the idea that Elizabeth Bathory is the final boss of FGO is that she, frankly, doesn't come off as a major threat. She faffs about, accomplishes nothing, and is routinely deprived of the little she does accomplish, amounting to mere comic relief at best.
But what if that was just her intention?
Let's look at her actions rather than how she comes across. Elizabeth Bathory has, single-handedly, just in FGO:
Almost destroyed the world nine times.
Nearly killed the Master of Chaldea and doomed the human race.
Constructed and transported massive megastructures in mere instants.
Manifested planet destroying machines somehow(?)
Let's compare this to the other two major threats of FGO.
#1. World Destruction
Goetia could only destroy the world once across infinite realities. This was also the result of an over thousand years plan and gathering of infinite amounts of energy, destabilizing the very axis of time, and utilising seven holy grails for this single attempt.
The Alien God couldn't even destroy the world. She just overwrote all textures from it with the help of absurd parallel world magi-science (thanks Marisbury).
Elizabeth meanwhile (almost) destroyed the world nearly nine times with only one holy grail each time, with no need to break the limits that confine existence. She doesn't need to conduct a two thousand year plan across multiple timelines to accomplish this. Elizabeth Bathory destroys the world at impulse.
*
#2. Killing John Grandorder
Goetia couldn't even kill the Last Master of Humanity in a straight fistfight while they were half-dead and running off fumes.
The Alien God got cucked by Humanity's Last Master. That's even worse than not being able to kill them.
Elizabeth? Elizabeth accidentally almost killed John Grandorder by putting them in the most precarious situation they were ever put in. Koyanskaya wishes she could get as close to assassinating Guda as Elizabeth managed to get unintentionally, transforming them into a pumpkin person and having multiple people including Mash Kyrielight (literally their Shielder) consider leaving them like that because it looked cute.
*
#3. Construction skills
Goetia needed OMNIPOTENCE in order to construct a super domain outside time and space. It's pretty sad, honestly. It's like one big chair in the middle of a bunch of rocks. It's like a goon cave but worse, and he needed OMNIPOTENCE to do that.
Alien God needs a bunch of servants, several lackeys, and the power of CHALDEAS to build a couple of tiny cities which she doesn't even design herself. She just copy pastes them from Alaya's recycling bin.
Elizabeth Bathory? She's resourceful. Brilliant. Somehow summons her castle anywhere, any time, whether its underneath a pyramid, under a samurai castle, in (not) dragon quest, probably outer space too. In honesty, I have no idea whether the game explains how she keeps constructing the castle everywhere, whether its holy grail hand waving or her super robot powers, but fortunately these are the Elizabeth Bathory Halloween events and you haven't read them either. You can't fact check me.

###Summoning planet destroying entities
Goetia is such a bum that his demon kings eventually developed a conceptual weakness to being punched in the face by Ritsuka per the Reines event. Automatic disqualification.
Alien God got spooked by her first
Elizabeth Bathory: Teenage Dragon Idol, Slayer of Gods, Destroyer of Plot Consistency. Nobody ever thinks twice about the girl that shows up every halloween. But after extensive research, I've identified the truth.
As FGO edges closer and closer to its finale, many wonder: who is the ultimate villain? The final boss? The BBEG? They think, "Oh, it must be Alaya!" "No, it must be Marisbury!" "It's the Fujimaru Ritsuka of CHALDEAS!"
All of them are wrong.
It's Elizabeth Bathory.
And here's how.

#Elizabeth Bathory—the Strongest
The first issue most will have with the idea that Elizabeth Bathory is the final boss of FGO is that she, frankly, doesn't come off as a major threat. She faffs about, accomplishes nothing, and is routinely deprived of the little she does accomplish, amounting to mere comic relief at best.
But what if that was just her intention?
Let's look at her actions rather than how she comes across. Elizabeth Bathory has, single-handedly, just in FGO:
Almost destroyed the world nine times.
Nearly killed the Master of Chaldea and doomed the human race.
Constructed and transported massive megastructures in mere instants.
Manifested planet destroying machines somehow(?)
Let's compare this to the other two major threats of FGO.
#1. World Destruction
Goetia could only destroy the world once across infinite realities. This was also the result of an over thousand years plan and gathering of infinite amounts of energy, destabilizing the very axis of time, and utilising seven holy grails for this single attempt.
The Alien God couldn't even destroy the world. She just overwrote all textures from it with the help of absurd parallel world magi-science (thanks Marisbury).
Elizabeth meanwhile (almost) destroyed the world nearly nine times with only one holy grail each time, with no need to break the limits that confine existence. She doesn't need to conduct a two thousand year plan across multiple timelines to accomplish this. Elizabeth Bathory destroys the world at impulse.

#2. Killing John Grandorder
Goetia couldn't even kill the Last Master of Humanity in a straight fistfight while they were half-dead and running off fumes.
The Alien God got cucked by Humanity's Last Master. That's even worse than not being able to kill them.
Elizabeth? Elizabeth accidentally almost killed John Grandorder by putting them in the most precarious situation they were ever put in. Koyanskaya wishes she could get as close to assassinating Guda as Elizabeth managed to get unintentionally, transforming them into a pumpkin person and having multiple people including Mash Kyrielight (literally their Shielder) consider leaving them like that because it looked cute.

#3. Construction skills
Goetia needed OMNIPOTENCE in order to construct a super domain outside time and space. It's pretty sad, honestly. It's like one big chair in the middle of a bunch of rocks. It's like a goon cave but worse, and he needed OMNIPOTENCE to do that.
Alien God needs a bunch of servants, several lackeys, and the power of CHALDEAS to build a couple of tiny cities which she doesn't even design herself. She just copy pastes them from Alaya's recycling bin.
