Once your hand is drawn, you can use AP as shown on each card to issue Commands to your Servant. Strategize with what you have to select the best course of action for each turn.
Choosing the Best Actions from Your Hand
There are three kinds of Commands: Attack types that inflict damage on the enemy, Guard types that add to your shield to decrease damage taken, and Skill types that have their own unique abilities. Commands will differ depending on your Servant and thus require different tactics for each combat style.
Your Deck is the Key to Battle
Deck Building
Get ahead in battle by combining various Commands to take full advantage of your Servant's combat style.
Obtaining and Enhancing Commands
New Commands can be obtained through defeating powerful foes. It is also possible to enhance Commands through Art Phantasmagoria.
Each Servant's Combat Style
Crush Enemies With a Single Blow
A Servant who specializes in an aggressive playstyle with her large blade. Use skills to enhance her mighty strikes and deal massive damage to enemies.
A Servant who subjugates her enemies with a technical combat style. Whether it's staggering her attacks with amulets or enhancing herself at the cost of reducing her HP, utilizing her effectively in battle requires a high level of adaptability.
You can use items to restore HP both during battle and exploration. Items can be purchased at shops as well as obtained while exploring the Arena.
Code Cast
Masters can gain access to special skills that can be used during battle by equipping Mystic Codes. Support your Servant with abilities such as healing and Command replenishment to achieve victory.
