Prologue

Show Chaldea Command Center has been engulfed in chaos due to being digitized under unclear circumstances! In being confronted by a situation where staff and Servants have had their outward appearances swapped, everyone suspects it the work of the usual cyber-trickster. However... the voice that called out to them was rather unexpected: "Even if I conceal my face, people will recognize me from my stomach right away! That's right, I'm the boss this time around!" Jinako Karigiri brought about this state of affairs as to prepare for any kind of emergencies. She proposed that they train using these mock Holy Grail Wars but... "Don't be decieved!" An emergency transmission reaches Chaldea, and its sender reveals the shocking truth! What is Jinako's true purpose in contending in a Holy Grail War!? Now, in order to save humanity, the great "Moonsault Operation" begins!

Additional Information

- For the first time, Grail Front will have a story mode. - A new battle will be released each day. - New gameplay elements have been introduced to Grail front: Instead of all Servants sharing Action Points, now each deployed individual Servant has their own Action Point pool of 50. Depending on the Class, the amount of Points consumed per Action is different. When switching positions, both Servants have their Action Points expended. In addition, Servants who ended their turn afflicted by things such as Stuns or other things that inhibit their ability to act will automatically have to spend Action Points to cure themselves of it. The amount of Points depends on the Class. Finally, Oberon's "Eternal Slumber" will permanently disable the Servant. An option has been added to speed up the opponent's turn. Party Advantage: Now when Servants team stand adjacent and team-up with one another for a clash, if they outnumber the enemy, Party Advantage will activate. This increases damage when attacking, and reduces the chance of being critically hit when defending. This applies to both you and the enemy. The advantage is greater the more the Servants outnumber the enemy. This is an unremovable buff. If for some reason you cease outnumbering the opponent during a battle, the advantage will fade. - Mostly unrelated to the event, EXP and Mat dailies will have their cost reduced by half for the duration of 15th June ~ 22nd June. - Strengthening Quests released for BB, Meltryllis, Kingprotea and Passionlip.

Kama time.

The change in the movement cost is so good. The past system was so bad because despite having many slots for Servants, you were only using like maybe two because of how expensive it was to move and go into battle. Good riddance, the next step is to give different benefits for each class, not just this change in movement cost that mostly benefits units with low move cost (last column is pretty much worthless as a bonus, unless there's some maps that spam them).

The party advantage is also quite good for the enemy, it will certainly make some battles more interesting and worth approaching in different ways if the party advantage bonus is really strong. They probably did this taking into account how pretty much everybody does solo clears LOL. That said, this will only stop happening if the party advantage bonus is really strong and the AI is smart enough to stay in a party, which is the big issue here.

Speeding up the opponent's movement is always appreciated, at least we won't have to spend a lot of time seeing the opponent go back and forth.

Hey, some actual changes. These upgrades at least tell me they are fully aware of the issues in gameplay that this mode has, like solos being the king of the game and movement cost limiting the game too much. Glad those are fixed. The main issue is still the AI though, no matter the many changes they do they're worthless if the AI is braindead. Let's see how it goes in the game tomorrow.

[GDB]

Oh shoot, I've procrastinated and I'm only half way done 6.5. Oh well, this doesn't look to be a time heavy event so should be fine.

Liking the changes, but I agree with Oz, the AI is the main sticking point. They also don't quite seem to have addressed Herc, Kama, Cu, and Nero being obscene in this mode. At least, from this summary.

[sentence]

What is with Kama?

[GDB]

She charm locks super easily as a solo unit.

[Petrikow]

I love that there are some units who become absolutely ridiculous in Grail Front despite normally seeing little action.

Big Ushi is my Grail Front MVP but I almost never use her ordinarily.

[Sesto]

my first grail front. waku waku

[rxrx]

No more Herk smash with the new movement points I guess.

[Oz1337]

All the Sakura V and BB got SQs, nice.

Goddamn it Lasagne, give Melt an NP upgrade ffs!

- - - Updated - - -

Buffs (thanks to Teramol in Reddit for translation):

BB Skill 3: Old effects unchanged but now also increases Self Arts Up (3 turns) and also Charge own NP a little when Extra Attacking (3 turns)

Melt Skill 1: Old effects unchanged but now also charges Self NP.

KP Skill 3: Old effects unchanged but now also Increases own NP dmg the more Growth stacks she has (3 turns)

Lip Skill 1: Old effects unchanged but now also Increases Self Buster Up (3 turns) and also charges own NP gauge a little.

Pretty much the best one to me is Kingprotea, the rest are useful but boring.

From what I'm reading, BB charge all allies, not just self.

[Oz1337]

Now the only thing to hope for this event is that it hints Kazuradrop and Violet future release.

[Petrikow]

Actually, BB's skill makes it so your entire party's NP is charged when she Extra Attacks, not just herself.

[Namelesss]

Be crazy funny if Funny Vamp appears in this event
