Shadow Front I
(5 AP)
The first Grail Front battle is available!
This acts somewhat like a tutorial level. Masters can choose 3 Servants to deploy.
The overall goal is to defeat either all of the enemy Servants, or the enemy Master.
Details for this specific Grail Front battle can be found by clicking the quest link to the left (video links of clears are also provided where relevant).
General Tips:
- Make sure to deploy a good Saber to deal with the enemy Lancer.
- When moving the Rider, avoid the Assassin on the field, using the Berserker (or Saber) to deal with the Assassin instead.

A general guide for the Grail Front format can be found here.

Shadow Front II
(5 AP)
The second Grail Front unlocks on 8/22/2022 21:00 PDT.
For this Grail Front, an enemy Rider and enemy Lancer should be watched carefully given their advantage against your Caster and Archer Servants.
A Berserker and Extra class slot (Avenger/Ruler/Shielder/Moon Cancer/Foreigner/Alter Ego OK) are also available, which can help deal with those Servants.
None
10

Shadow Front III
(5 AP)
The third Grail Front unlocks on 8/23/2022 21:00 PDT.
This Grail Front is the first to introduce buffs on the map.
Moving a unit onto a buff will cause the unit to obtain it. Be careful since the enemy can obtain these buffs as well!
Go for the NP charge buffs whenever you can, and avoid letting the enemy obtain them if possible, since it fully charges the NP gauge.
Since an enemy Ruler is present, using the Extra slot for an Avenger can help with taking them down.
Note the enemy Arthur Pendragon has permanent Sure Hit.
None
First Wave Masters can begin to farm as desired:
- Legendary: Farm until the Event Shop is cleared as desired.
- Hero: Farm this if the Event Shop is already cleared and Lottery Currency is desired.
The lottery for this event is infinite, so this is a good chance to farm for EXP, Materials, QP, Mana Prisms, and FP from lottery boxes!

Shadow Front IV
(5 AP)
The fourth Grail Front unlocks on 8/24/2022 21:00 PDT.
This Grail Front offers two paths from which you can approach (or be flanked by) the enemy.
Generally, letting the Caster protect the left path, while advancing toward the enemy Master with the right path (make sure to grab the Evade buff) works quite well.
In this encounter, making sure your Master is not vulnerable to enemy Servants is particularly important to keep track of.
None
18

Shadow Front V
(5 AP)
The fifth Grail Front unlocks on 8/25/2022 21:00 PDT.
This Grail Front is similar to the previous, where it offers multiple paths to the enemy Master.
However, in this scenario there is an abundance of Casters, which makes the Rider slot you are given an extremely important Servant to support and protect (which can be done with the Caster slot).
Conversely, utilize the Assassin's placement very carefully to avoid Caster enemies.
Be wary that the enemy Karna has permanent Sure Hit.
None
19

Shadow Front VI
(5 AP)
The sixth Grail Front unlocks on 8/26/2022 21:00 PDT.
This Grail Front is is Berserkers galore on the enemy side!
Make sure to utilize the Foreigner slot if you have one available in your roster.
Note that in this grail front, all enemy Servants have 3 HP bars total.
Utilizing Servants with innate Guts skills is helpful.
None
Second Wave Masters are free to farm until the next wave begins. The drop rate distributions are largely the same.

Should I use Apples?

  • Yes, for Lottery events, although Apples are not required for clearing the event, they are one of the best times to use Apples due to being able to farm EXP, QP, Friend Points, Mana Prisms, and certain Ascension Materials simultaneously, making them highly AP efficient.
  • Natural Regen AP will be approximately 4120 AP throughout the event.
  • For clearing the Event Shop (no monuments, EXP, or 3* Fous), this will take approximately 3250 AP.
  • For clearing the Event Shop (no monuments, but with Fous and EXP), this will take approximately 3970 AP.
  • For a full Event Shop clear including monuments, this total reaches 5050 AP to clear all pieces and monuments.
  • The amount of AP required can be reduced with more copies of Event CEs. Additional copies of 4* or 5* CEs must be obtained in the gacha, while 3* CEs can be obtained in the Friend Point Gacha (at a low rate).
  • Assumptions for the above AP costs (uses "first timer worst case scenario with no Friend Point Gacha luck", AP reduced if more bonus available):
    • Up to +1 Scathach Coin (Gold): From Non-MLB Friend Support Crimson Teacher's Pointer (For multi-currency node farming).
    • Up to +1 Scathach Coin (Silver): From Non-MLB Friend Support Hell's Kitchen (Only for single-silver currency farming).
    • Up to +1 Scathach Coin (Bronze): From Non-MLB Friend Support Class Under the Blue Sky (Only for single-bronze currency farming).
    • Up to +4 Dog Tag: From 4 copies of Shop CE Our Hearts Raised Up High (All nodes).
