Fate Grand Order - Formal Craft – Art Craft Essence

Formal Craft

Formal Craft is a 5 Star Craft Essence (CE) that focuses on boosting the over-all performance of the Arts Cards. It improves not only the damage output but also the amount of NP gain for the servant it’s equipped to. Formal Craft was one of the first Craft Essences to appear since the initial debut of the Fate/ Grand Order USA.

How to use

Formal Craft is the strongest among the Art Type craft essence in terms of single unit card improvement. An increase in effectiveness boosts power, NP gain, and C. Star generation for that type of card. When using the this craft essence, use it on a servant that commonly draws Art Type cards in order to make the most of the effects.

This is especially useful for Servants with strong Arts-type Noble Phantasms, such as Vlad III, Medea, Nero Claudius, and Robin Hood. Projection is another card of the same type, but it is weaker, in exchange for being more common. The Azure Black Keys is another card that provides similar bonuses.

• EMIYA can bring out the full power of this skill due to his innate ability to draw out 3 Arts Cards. If paired with Zhuge Liang, he can easily replenish his Noble Phantasm Gauge in 5 turns. However, this assumes that Zhuge Liang has Tactician’s Advice available to him. Combined with Zhuge Liang‘s Unreturning Formation, EMIYA and Zhuge Liang can set up a weakened team for a full-powered Altria Pendragon or Altera to finish off the enemies.
