Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I still get Archer for free if I start the event late?

A: Yes! Since the event will move to Conventional Memoir after the limited period ends, you can still obtain Archer by completing the storyline even after the main event concludes. However, some time-limited rewards may no longer be available.

Q: Is it worth pulling for Saber if I already have strong Ice Destruction characters?

A: Saber offers unique mechanics tied to the Fate collaboration and excellent synergy with Archer. While not mandatory, her Noble Phantasm abilities and event-specific bonuses make her a valuable addition, especially for players who enjoy the Fate series lore and gameplay mechanics.
