Event Guidelines

Introducing the new Halloween Rising event for Fate Grand Order. It’s the first Halloween event in over two years, with the last one being Shuten Doji Halloween in 2020.

This is point banner event has three different banners to grind points for, offering various rewards.

The main reward for this event is the free 4* servant: Cinderella Elizabeth Bathory, a single target buster rider servant who is a good option for those without a decent single target rider. Your goal for this event is play through the event by grinding points from free quests in order to meet required point threshold needed for story progress.

Guidelines to follow

The event is time-locked with new chapters and story quests each day. The final time lock unlocks on Oct 16th. Use natural AP for the first week, then farm ascension materials, event points, and more after completing the epilogue.
For this event, the number of points is based on enemy numbers on the field. The more enemies that appear, the more points you will earn.
There will be free bonus Event CE that will boost the enemy spawn rate up to 100%. A base craft essence provides 25%, while a max limit broken one gives 100%. Use one max limit broken craft essence on your team and fill the rest with other CE for drops and farming. Spawn rate bonuses cap at 100%, there is no benefit for going further than that.
These Event CE can be obtained from the event shop and point banners, with five copies available to max limit break them. These essences will also provide a damage bonus to the equipped servant (100% base, 200% when max limit broken).
AoE servants are HIGHLY Recommend for this event. Quick or Arts looping works well here, especially with double Skadi or Castoria buffs. Up to 6 enemies will show up at once on the stage, instead of coming in as replacements.
Save your apples if you can for Christmas 2023, which will be coming in a month after this event.

NOTE: This event has not had a rerun in JP. Make sure you do not miss this event as it is unlikely to be rerun again.

Support Setup Recommendation

Players will mostly focus on maximizing spawn bonus in the early stages of the game, but afterwards every player will be able to achieve 100% spawn rate with a single MLB CE. Supports such as Skadi, Castoria, and Koyanskaya will be used the most with Event currency drop bonus.
