▍Gameplay
In the new FGO Arcade, much like FGO, players will play as a Master and summon Servants to participate in the Holy Grail War. Players will fight in teams of three to battle against enemies. Players can also join forces with other MAsters and participate in 3vs3 PvP battles. The goal of the game is to fill the Gauge, “撃破ゲージ”, at the top of the screen. Player’s team gauge will appear blue, and enemies will appear red. To fill the Gauge simply defeat enemies, players holding the Holy Grail will receive additional points when defeating enemies. To win the match, players will have to fill their team’s Gauge in the given time.
