# 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.
