### Event Gameplay: Fate/stay Night
- **Format**: A combat-focused event where players participate in 1v1 matches in the Holy Grail War.
- **Mechanics**:
- Players form teams to face randomized opponents who summon monsters.
- Clear enemies before combat cycles run out. Each cycle deducts HP from the losing side; zero HP results in defeat.
- Earn **Star Coins** after matches to purchase **Pieces** in the shop, which provide combat buffs (e.g., Bond bonuses for same-class Pieces).
- **Noble Phantasms/Mystic Codes** and **Command Spells** offer additional buffs tied to specific classes or actions.
- **Corruption Mode**: Unlocked after completing the "Eve of the War" challenge, adding extra buffs for both sides.
- **Collaboration Characters**:
- **Saber** (5★, Wind, Destruction): Ultimate-focused DPS. Synergizes with **Avalon: Ever the Distant Utopia** (increases Eidolon levels) and **Caliburn** (free Ultimate when Summon acts). Best supports: Sunday, Robin, Huohuo, or F2P options like Remembrance Trailblazer, Tingyun.
- **Archer** (5★, Quantum, The Hunt): Skill-damage DPS, free for players at Trailblaze Level ≥ 3 upon login. Synergizes with Pieces’ effects.
- **Lancer**: DoT-oriented, works well with Kafka or Black Swan.
- Note: Collaboration characters lack English voiceovers; switch to Japanese (e.g., Ayako Kawasumi for Saber, Junichi Suwabe for Archer), Chinese, or Korean for voiced dialogue.
- **Team Recommendations**:
- **Saber Team**: Saber (DPS), Harmony Trailblazer/Asta/Pela (support), Lynx/Gallagher (healer).
