The Story Takes an Epic Turn

Phainon, the revered Chrysos Heirs commander from Aedes Elysiae, transitions from NPC to playable character. His compelling backstory unfolds through new missions detailing his warrior origins and rise within the Flame-Chase faction.

• Mr. Boothill
• Miss Robin

Fate/stay night Collaboration Heroes

The crossover introduces three iconic Heroic Spirits:

• Saber (Wind-type, 5★ Destruction)
• Archer (Quantum-type, Hunt)

Archer becomes permanently available starting July 11th until Version 3.6 concludes. Both Saber and Archer will feature on extended banners with their signature Light Cones.
