Don’t know if this was announced previously, but it caught me off guard when I logged in this morning before work.

You all may laugh and say I look stupid AF, but I'm rocking this look anyway~! 🦋🐝

This didn't take too long, I'm not sure whether I like this work or not, although I'm really pushing myself through my burnout so maybe im a bit harsher than usual.

It was quite fun though, painting Enkidu has always been in the back of my mind (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)

Now available from the Shop for 1000 Mana Prisms each so 5000 for all copies.

"Manuscript's Wings"

This one is pretty straightforward. A single copy gives +4% Bond to any Caster class servants. MLB gives +20%.

So, no extensive lists needed. Is a servant Caster class? Then this works on them.

Make sure to pick it up if you can. It's niche sure, but it's helpful (especially since we know that bonds 16-20 are coming eventually).

Quest

This month's CQ is from Servant Summer Camp (Summer 2020). Gimmicks are generally the same as before, so you can refer to older guides for those.

Changes

These are from the in-game hints (apart from the enemy HP thing), I've just added some numbers. I've spoiler tagged the important bits in case you want to be surprised.

・Enemy HP seems to have been increased by between 15 to 25% across the board.

・Wild Kid (Bunyan): Now gains 3 Charge when Guts procs, loses 1 Guts stack when using NP, and receives NP Damage Down when taking NP damage.

・Camper King (Eric): Now removes all defensive buffs from targets before damage when using NP, receives Atk Down after using NP, and receives NP Damage Down when taking NP damage.

・Adds: When KO'd, raises Charge by 3 for both Wild Kid and Camper King. Applies even when Wild Kid and Camper King are off the field.

・Player: Your party gains 30% NP every turn.

A remake of the drawing I did of the Chaldea staff, but now in summer! I also added another Chaldea staff member who appears in the Turas manga. She doesn't have an official name, but at a fan's suggestion, I'm temporarily calling her "Okoye."

What do you think? Which one is your favorite?

Personally, my favorites are Elron and Sylvia. Maybe I'll add Octavia later.

I hope this man will appear in a few events maybe even a summer see him interact with summer Anna

Extra Extra- Xu caught red handed sneaking bites from the community fridge!

Event Period: 2026-07-15 02:00 - 09-01 20:59 PDT (GMT -7)

Participation Requirements: Fuyuki clear, but involves Part 2 spoilers and links into Ordeal Call 3

Links

• Gamepress Walkthrough
• Support List Setup
• Lv90++ farming guide

Summer 9 and it's connection to Ordeal Call 3:

• Summer 9 is the actual summer event. It only requires Fuyuki completion to do.
• Summer 9's event story goes until Chapter 13. Once you beat Chapter 13, the story will pick up at Ordeal Call 3.
• Ordeal Call 3 is limited time and requires Bleached Earth access to do (beat LB7). You do not have to do OC1 and 2. It also doesn't spoil anything from those two.
• There are no OC3-specific free quests during the limited time access. 2 new storm pod nodes will open on the Bleached Earth map when you complete OC3.
• Summer 9 will end September 2, 2026 at 12:59 PM while OC3 will leave October 1, 2026 at 12:59 PM. Both of them come back in the future, around January/February 2027.
• When it comes back, Summer 9 will be a Main Interlude and you can get all of the quest rewards again. There is no event shop and nothing to farm for.
• OC3 will appear on the Bleached Earth map and will not require you to do Summer 9's Main Interlude. You will pick up where you left off, unless you already completed it, then you'll just get free quests.
• When you beat OC3 you will get your selection of either Hakuno or Hakunon. Both do the same thing, one's just a boy and one's just a girl. When OC3 permanently comes back, there will be a node on the free quest map for you to unlock the other one.

Guide

• 3-4: When they're stunned they'll lose their evade. They'll get stunned every 2 turns while Caenis is on the field. When Caenis leaves the dodge will leave.
• 4-3: Fight ends after 1 break bar.
• 7-1: Battle ends after 3 turns.
• 7-2: Fight ends after 1 break bar.
• 11-1: Fight ends after 6 turns or when you proc guts 3 times.
• 11-2: Fight ends after you proc guts 3 times.
• Section 5 Tourism Quest (Mahanaga): Bring Atlas MC. Try and save it for after the break bar (boss will cast 2 skills per turn).
• Section 12 Tourism Quest (Golem/Snowmen): Just bring a strong AOE DPS and kill them for wave 2 (Assassin/Berserker). Easier than doing the mechanic.
• Section 6 Bonus Quest (Kintoki): Mystic code is special, use 3rd skill to stun the boss when you break its bar. Use 2nd skill if you actually need to tank the NP.
• Section 9 Bonus Quest (VS Mash): The enemies lose their stun on turn 4 and get full NP gauge. You lose if you don't kill them within 8 turns. Just double NP them with a AOE servant.
• Section 12 Bonus Quest (MHXXA): BQA every enemy on wave 1. Wave 2 use S1/S2 and NPQA. On the next turn, use 3rd skill, then NPBB. Finish off the remaining enemies.
• 90+: 3/1/3 Lancers + Pretender. Due to being a summer event there's a ton of sabers you can use, quite a few AOE (Siegfried, Gawain, Summer Tomoe, Summer Okitan, Gareth). Can also loop this with any competent looper. For the pretender, foreigners have class advantage but you can also just use a zerk against them. Do not borrow Space Eresh from friends, you cannot use her affection gauge to buff her NP damage.
• 90++: 3/1/1 Berserkers. It's Berserkers, use anyone that does damage. Don't forget the damage CE to make life easier. Ciel can NP one wave and card another or card 2 waves with enough cooldown reduction. Use any competent AOE for wave 1. If you're facecarding, there's a few event bonus foreigners (MHXXA, MHXX, Summer Abby, Cnoc).

FAQ

• This is a points based event. Progress through event story -> farm free quests to get Dubai Tourism Points -> do side quests to increase the Joy Counter -> repeat.
• For new players, don't overspend AP on the early nodes. Do as much as it says to hit the next timegate, then go back to story clear or spend your AP elsewhere.
• This is an exceptionally long event: it is 1.5 months long (twice as long as a normal event). You have plenty of time to clear the event shop. If you fail to clear the event shop this event you weren't playing enough.
• To get more points, buy the point CE from the event shop and equip it to your party when you do free quests.
• If you are not rolling gacha, you should be borrowing gacha CE from friends.
• If you are rolling gacha, prioritize enough points first to keep up with the event story, then use gacha CEs for the remainder. You can adjust after 90+/90++ unlocks.
• If you need more damage, don't forget the damage CE.

Agility A

Mana D

Luck D

Noble Phantasm B

Character Creator Yuichiro Higashide

Character Design Toridamono

Character Voice Manaka Iwami

Main appearances Fate/Grand Order

Class Skills

Presence Concealment C

Since she wasn't originally an Assassin, her rank is a little bit low

Riding B

Although an Assassin, Huyan Zhuo possesses the riding skill.

Phantasmal Possession C

The phantasmal beast Empusa has possessed the Phantom Spirit Huyan Zhuo in order to supplement its Spirit Origin.

Personal Skills

Double Bian A

Huyan Zhuo was a master of the bian, the Chinese hard whip made of iron and unlike the typical leather whips these resemble solid rods or clubs, and tormented the ruffians at Mount Liang

Prestige Star of Heaven A

She was reborn as one of the one-hundred and eight stars said to cause calamity. She is the reincarnation of a demonic star that shoulders disaster and karma upon her inception, and her swift and ferocious assaults against her enemies even led her to be appointed as one of the Five Tiger Generals.

Sensitive Mentality EX

Empusa, the Phantasmal Beast meant to be the main personality of the fusion, has an extremely weak mental state and as such handed control over to Huyan Zhuo. However Empusa's influence is still evident in the Phantom Spirit Huyan Zhuo giving her an anxious mind. Specifically, she gets extremely depressed when people insult her

Noble Phantasm

Empusa Chain Tempest

Chain-Linked Cavalry's Raging Storm Formation

Rank B

NP Type Anti Army

Range 1 - 3

Maximum Targets 30 people

A Noble Phantasm that pseudo-recreates Huyan Zhuo's chain-linked cavalry attack.

Heavily armed horses are temporarily summoned, linked by chains, and charge at tremendous speed. They engulf everything like a great, merciless storm.

However, based on the story from the Water Margin, her weakness is the scythe and since the Empusa has its origin in the female praying mantis it's also a weakness on a Mystic level. Thus, whenever she is up against enemies who wield scythe-type weapons or Noble Phantasms such as Gray or Medusa, her power is severely diminished.

Additionally, partly due to being possessed by Empusa, she is also weak to loud noises. Also note: she is the type of Servant who becomes distraught once her weakness is exposed.

Character

Originally, he was an honest, sincere, ruthless, and boisterous Chinese hero, but the presence of Empusa is causing him no end of problems. Specifically, he developed significant mental weaknesses. He is easily discouraged and depressed by insults, and cries uncontrollably, which has left him bewildered by the change in his personality.

Attitude Towards Master

At first glance she appears to be a serious soldier, but she's extremely sensitive to insults.

She begs Master to praise her, pleading, "I want you to praise me more..."

She is quite devoted to Master.

Anyhow, make sure you don't stop praising her.

Historical Conditions and Figure

Empusa

Also know as Empousa, a demonic beast from Greek mythology. It serves Hecate and has the legs of a donkey with bronze hooves. When disguised as a beautiful woman, it has vampire-like tendencies, mating with men at night and draining their life force to kill them. However, if severely insulted, it seems to become agitated, screaming and running away.

Huyan Zhuo

A fictional hero that appears in the Water Margin originally a government official and general who commanded an expeditionary force to defeat Mount Liang. However, he was defeated and forced to retreat by the Mount Liang resistance. After several battles, he was captured and persuaded to join Mount Liang. There, he was appointed one of the Five Tiger Generals and led the cavalry. After Mount Liang was recognized by the emperor, he also served as the emperor's bodyguard. Later, he fought against the Jin army and died in battle in Huaixi

Character in Fate/GO

He was one of the experimental products of Professor Moriarty and Baal's Phantom Spirit Summoning System. After summoning several people in the simulator, it was determined that Yan Qing was the most suitable as an assassin, so Huyan Zhuo was buried in obscurity.

Moriarty unearthed that data and performed another experiment. She was then secretly registered as Servant at Chaldea.

The thing is...

Huyan Zhuo was an honest, earnest, and, to put it negatively, uninteresting hero but after being possessed by Empusa, who is also a succubus, he was reborn as a Servant with a weak mentality and an excessive need for approval.

"I want to be praised more"

"I'm going to search myself online"

"I want the world to be filled only with people who praise me"

"Everyone one else can go to hell"

...Everyone agreed that it was no wonder Moriarty had decided on Yan Qing.

Related Characters

Moriarty

This is your fault!! Your fault!! Still I should thank you for allowing me to exist.

Yan Qing

He's a little bit good looking and has a normal mentality. He's not even in his original class and he's still working hard in so many ways. I wish he'd praise me like he did Lu Junyi. He won't? I figured...

Qin Liangyu

Our character traits overlap. How depressing.

Medb

Our... character traits... don't... overlap. They don't. I don't ride horses or use the whip the same way she does so stop insulting me.

Nine Tattoo Dragon Eliza

My old colleague has turned into a little girl! Well I've changed quite a bit myself!

Eh? That dragon toy actually Shi Jin himself? ……This is getting absolutely ridiculous!!

Servants with Swimsuit Spirit Origins

I'm so jealous.

I'd like to wear a swimsuit too someday

Not!

At this point, Huyan Zhuo had no idea what trouble she'd get herself into once she did put on a swimsuit.

Comments from Illustrator

I couldn’t quite visualise how the character would look even after researching Huyan Zhuo and Empusa, so, after talking to Takeuchi, I decided to go with the Assassin class and make her an assassin. For the Ascensions I originally wanted her current First Ascension to be the finale but I decided I wanted to emphasize the growth and changes so I gave her a rugged general-like appearance befitting Huyan Zhuo. A little while after I had submitted the artwork I started to regret not making the things attached to her face during the Third Ascension transform into a mask. (Toridamono)
