Fate/Grand Order announces the "Nero Fest, Colosseum of Victory" Event

July 22, 2017 Barclay-Kallistra Comments

Hearken to me, Plebeians! It is I, Imperator Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, Fifth Emperor of the Roman Empire, and I hereby declare Nero Fest to start on July 25th!

Okay, I'm not actually Emperor Nero. But I am Barclay-Kallistra, and I'm here to inform you that "NeroFest, ~Colosseum of Victory~" - Fate/Grand Order's next event - has been announced! This is a bit of a rare move, as so far, the previous Fate/Grand Order events have been announced on the day they go live - this is giving players a heads up notice, and definitely is something they can look forward to.

What the @#$%^&^@ is Nero Fest?!

Nero Fest is an event that lets players farm for special items to power-up their servants. However, due to Fate/Grand Order's NA localization following the original Japanese (layman's terms, if the first content update was 3 months after the games launch in Japan, NA's first content update will be 3 months after the Japanese launch), many items available in Nero Fest aren't actually obtainable outside of the event at this time. Things such as Crystallized Lore, Eternal Gears, and Meteor Horseshoes, will be added in later.

There will be 3 different rounds of the Colosseum of Victory - the Qualifiers, the Main Match, and the Finals. Each drop their own special items, and come in 4 different difficulty tiers - Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert. The Qualifiers run from 07-25 0400 UTC, until 07-28 0359 UTC, at which point the Main Match begins. The Main Match will run from 07-31 0400 UTC, until 07-31 0359 UTC. The Finals will run from the end of the Main Match, until 08-03 0359 UTC. All dates follow the Month/Day standard, and all times are in Military (24-hour) time.

Lastly, players will also have the chance to acquire the special "Nightless Rose" Craft Essence for their service, which will apply the "Guts" status once during a battle.
