Other mechanics include Chains, whereby selecting three cards of the same category adds a new effect based on the selected card type, Crit Stars that calculate your percentage for a critical hit, and the Noble Phantasm, a powerful LimitBreak unique to every Servant. The aim of combat is to build a team of synergistic Servants that compliment each other using their Skills and what Command Cards they have in their deck. ''FGO'' is also notable for playing with the CharacterTiers of the Servants on offer by making even the lower rarity characters usable and desirable, and the game is designed around every Servant having a defined niche in combat. The game incentivizes creating a diverse roster of Servants to handle a variety of situations over focusing exclusively on your most powerful units, which goes hand in hand with the [[HumansAreGood themes]] [[HumanityIsInfectious of]] [[TheAlliance the]] [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits story.]]

The Chaldea Security Organization is a secret organization dedicated to the preservation of the human race. With the intellectual and financial resources of the world behind them, Chaldea has melded technology and magecraft into the creation of numerous tools to aid in their mission; most notably the Global Environmental Model "CHALDEAS", an omniscient and complete simulation of Earth's past, present, and future. However, one day it suddenly becomes impossible to view more than one year into the future predicted by CHALDEAS, and the leaders of Chaldea conclude that [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt humanity will soon face an impossible and unknown extinction event]].

Chaldea gathers a number of candidates capable of using the Guardian Heroic Spirit Summoning System "FATE", a system that [[HistoricalBadassUpgrade summons and weaponizes the legends of great historical, mythological and fictional figures]] as "Servants". Their mission is to go into the past and stop the space-time distortion at its source by utilizing an experimental form of TimeTravel developed by Chaldea, with the aid of FATE and their Servants.

Gameplay revolves around fielding teams of units called “Servants”, based on historical figures from fantasy and real life, in turn-based battles. Three can be on the field at any time, and the game lets you create teams of up to five Servants plus one support borrowed from another player. Each Servant has their own stats and abilities based on their real-life deeds, which are manifested in-game as Skills they can use to buff themselves, debuff enemies, gain resources, or otherwise change the course of battle. They also come with five attacks known as “Command Cards” that are shuffled into a deck of fifteen and are redistributed at the beginning of your turn, forcing you to choose three of the five distributed cards to attack. The cards are as follows:

The second storyline of ''Fate/Grand Order'', ''Cosmos in the Lostbelt'', officially launched on December 26, 2017. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTe92JhvASc Watch the trailer here.]]

Two years after the beginning of ''Observer on Timeless Temple'', the destruction of the Singularities has set the stage for a new and powerful enemy to make its move upon Earth. Forces from [[CuttingOffTheBranches vanquished timelines of human history]], [[ForWantOfANail where requisite conditions were not met]], have emerged to seize what was denied to them. Heading this invasion are the Crypters: [[EvilCounterpart a group of seven elite Chaldea Master candidates]] who vanished under mysterious circumstances from the observatory.

They quickly isolate Earth from the rest of time and space, and transform it into a blank slate upon which a new timeline can be built, erasing the Proper Human History which all timelines derive from. Upon this empty world lie seven "Lostbelts": a closed world born from [[AlternateHistory a lost possibility of history]] where humankind reached a developmental dead end. Each Lostbelt is controlled and nurtured by a Crypter, with whomever expands their Lostbelt the furthest winning the right to have their ideal world become the new reality.

The only hope for humanity lies with the remaining heroes of Chaldea, who manage to escape in a cool BaseOnWheels, and must infiltrate and destroy the Lostbelts before the Earth is completely consumed.

Instead, with the help of a golem-making mage, a wild west outlaw, a dragon-slaying king, a rebel leader tainted with grief, and a Yaga who's just trying to make it through the day in the never-ending Ice Age, we learn that the war of survival is far more morally grey than previously believed.

Gameplay revolves around fielding teams of units called “Servants”, based on historical figures from fantasy and real life. Three can be on the field at any time, and the game lets you create teams of up to five units (plus one support borrowed from another player). Each Servant has their own stats and skills based on their real-life deeds, which are manifested in-game as abilities. They also come with five attacks known as “Command Cards” that are shuffled into a deck of fifteen and are redistributed at the beginning of your turn, forcing you to choose three of the five distributed cards to attack. The cards are as follows:

Other mechanics include Chains, whereby selecting three cards of the same category adds a new effect based on the selected card, Crit Stars that calculate your percentage for a CriticalHit, and your Noble Phantasm, a powerful LimitBreak unique to every servant.

Yet the secret lying within Fuyuki in the year 2004 is only the first step in a new [[TitleDrop Grand Order]] that sees you traveling across time and space, teaming up with (and against) the living legends of human history to [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong fix the distortions warping the events of the past]], and save the future.

** Released on December 4th, 2020[JP]

They quickly isolate Earth from the rest of time and space, and transform it into a blank slate upon which a new timeline can be built, erasing the Proper Human History which all timelines derive from. Upon this empty world lie seven "Lostbelts": a closed world born from [[AlternateHistory a lost possibility of history]] where humankind reached a developmental dead end. Each Lostbelt is controlled and nurtured by a Crypter, with whoever expanding their Lostbelt the furthest winning the right to have their ideal world become the new reality.

** Following the Salem incident, with seemingly no more enemies to fight and Singularities to fix, Chaldea is shut down, with the Servants sent back to the Throne of Heroes. As everyone gets ready for a shift in managers however, they are suddenly attacked by beings in black cloaks led by a mysterious princess, who brings shadow, ice, and despair to Chaldea. Outnumbered and down to eleven members, the survivors must flee, and head onwards to an unexpected journey into strange new worlds.

** Location: Heian-kyō (the name of Kyoto in the Heian period)

** After returning from the Atlantic Lostbelt, Chaldea detects the existence of a Singularity that heralds the end of mankind, an impossibility in a world where the Earth has been blanked and human history does not exist anymore. After Rayshifting to it, they find the once beautiful capital city of Japan in the Heian period has been transformed into a realm of evil spirits, and the Emperor is hosting a twisted copy of the Holy Grail War in which warriors hunt the heads of Heroic Spirits. What is the purpose of this ritual, who are these warriors that Chaldea must face, and what does it have to do with the rogue disciple of the Foreign God, Ashiya Douman, who fled here after the destruction of the Atlantic Lostbelt? The Beautiful Carnivore's final scheme is about to unfold.
