- Additional Battle Config (optional)
First and foremost, if you are new to FGA - you have come to the right place.
This battle section is strictly for FGA Battle Configuration.
Please be warned it is a bit outdated, but it should give you a general idea of how to setup FGA for yourself.
Assuming you have watched the video introduction, this section will go more in-depth tutorial on setting up a battle config.
This in-depth tutorial will cover on creating scripts that will use 'Skills', 'NP', 'Command Cards' and 'Pick Supports'.
Find the below icon and label and select it.
Create new script by tapping this icon
You can also add a special note (optional) to your script.
The note can be anything like which servants are apart the team you use this script on and so on
This is where you'll create your commands that FGA will use in battle.
When creating a battle script, you have to remember that servant positions are important.
Each servant in your party will be given a number from 1 to 6, first to last.
When creating scripts 'Skills' and 'NP', you create by basing on your servant positions with each skill is represented by a letter on the command
creator.
Skills that are targetable will use the servants position number to apply the skill to them
Due to the nature of some skills, they will have a different/additional command mapping to accommodate them.
After clicking on a skill in the command builder, FGA will show buttons at the bottom to deal with the special skills.
Kukulkan's First Skill and Third Skill are self-targeting skills which can gain optional effects by paying crit stars.
Use Option 1 if you don't want to use critical stars.
Use Option 2 if you want to use critical stars.
You can click on the Kukulkan button below to replace the button labels with more helpful ones.
Note: You don't have to always click it when using certain servants, this is only for visual purposes.
Battle
The Second Skill is a targetable skill which can also gain an additional effect by paying crit stars.
Use Option 1 if you don't want to use critical stars or Option 2 if you want to. Afterwards, choose a Servant to target.
Battle
UDK-Barghest's Third Skill can optionally turn her NP from an AoE to a Single Target Noble Phantasm.
To choose between AoE and Single Target, first click Choices (2) and then click Option 1 for AoE or Option 2 for Single Target.
You can click the UDK-Barghest button at the bottom to change the button descriptions to more fitting ones.
Emiya and BB Dubai can change their NP to 1 of 2 variants with their skills. After clicking on a 3rd skill in the command builder, NP Type (2) will appear at the bottom and needs to be picked for those Servants.
Only use the "NP Type(2)" option if you're using an Emiya with a fully upgraded third skill.
Note: FGA doesn't have the capability to detect if the skill is fully upgraded or not, but you can use preferred friends to ensure that you get the right support.
After clicking, NP Type (2), you'll see 2 Options. Click on the buttons at the bottom to see the effects of each Option for Emiya and BB Dubai.
Note: You don't have to always click it when using certain servants, this is only for visual purposes.
Battle
Space Ishtar's Second Skill can also change her NP type, but she has 3 options to choose from: Quick, Arts and Buster
After clicking on a 2nd Servant Skill, NP Type (3) will appear at the bottom, which will lead you to a new screen where you can select one of 3 options. You can check what would the skill at that option do by pressing the buttons below.
Note: You don't have to always click it when using certain servants, this is only for visual purposes.
Battle
Mélusine's Third Skill at Ascension 1 and 2 and Ptolemaios's Third Skill change the Servant's Ascension
forms in the middle of the battle.
Use the Transform option to both account for the long animation and for the changed face cards. Otherwise, Servant Priority will be broken for the rest of the battle.
Battle
After using Mélusine's third skill at ascension 1 and 2, any succeeding use of third skill
should use the normal third skill. So if Mélusine is in the 1st position, use c.
If you're already starting the battle with Mélusine in Ascension 3, there's no need to use
the Transform option since she won't change forms.
With Ptolemaios you will need to keep using the Transform option as he changes forms on every
use of his third skill.
Some Servants have special skills with 3 choices, which requires clicking the Choices (3) button in FGA.
- Soujuurou's 3rd skill can change the command cards after one turn
- Charlotte's Upgraded 3rd skill can have different effects depending on the choice you choose.
- Hakuno's 3rd skill can increase damage for 3 turns.
- Van Gogh Miner's 1st skill can increase card effectiveness for 3 turns.
You can check what would the skill at that option do by pressing the buttons below.
Note: You don't have to always click it when using certain servants, this is only for visual purposes.
Battle
Like your servants, enemies also have a number and can be targeted too.
Like in FGO, you can only select one enemy at a time.
Noble Phantasm (NP) use your servants position.
Note: NP can be used in any order.
Keep in mind, they will be used in the order you choose them.
If you ever need to use cards before NP, you can select the following options.
Master skills is handled the same way for all 'Mystic Codes' with an exception to the Plugsuit.
The l command should not be used when using the Plugsuit mystic code. Instead, the Plugsuit order change command should be used with
This will trigger the Plugsuit order change menu.
This step will cover both wave and turn options.
A wave or battle that's displayed in the top right corner
After settings your skills or NPs for a wave you can switch to the next wave by pressing this "Next Wave" button.
Take note of the symbol above. This will indicate that you've skipped to the next wave.
By wave skipping, you're telling FGA that you don't want do anything else until you're on the next wave.
Be warned that if you use the next wave button then any skill you use after that will only activate during the next wave so make sure you
double-check your script to see if you have made any mistakes.
Turns are indicated by this symbol
With the recent update as of FGA Build 2382. You're now able to track the current
wave and turn in your command.
Raid Battles can sometimes only have 1 wave.
In those cases, you must select the Next turn in the same wave option.
Materials can be used when you want to farm a specific material.
Any Selected Material will be shown at the top of the list.
After selecting the material and pressing OK, you'll see a summary of the first 3 selected materials.
How the spam option works

If you play in multiple servers you can make your scripts only show up only for that specific server in the pop up menu when you're in-game.
You can assign one of the party slots to your scripts so that whenever you start FGA, it will check if your last use party is on the right slot and
switch to the right one if it's not.
Card Priority is an optional feature.
Please note, you do not have to set them everytime you're making a new script.
Card Priority is used to tell FGA how to handle face cards.
With cards in the high will have priority usage over cards on the low end
- WB = Weak Buster
- WA = Weak Art
- WQ = Weak Quick
- B - Buster
- A - Art
- Q - Quick
- RB = Resist Buster
- RA = Resist Art
- RQ = Resist Quick
Cards can be changed around for different use case eg:
-
For Buster cards priority:
-
For charging NP with face cards (Arts cards priority):
-
For stars (Quick cards priority):
If you want to have different card priority for different waves, then you can add more waves and rearrange the card priority to your liking.
Otherwise, the default will be used throughout all waves, so if you want the same priority, you will only need to just setup the wave 1 priority
option OR leave it as it is.
Hence, there is no reason to add more if you're not gonna use it for something different.
Servant priority takes higher priority over card priority.
In order to activate the servant priority you must turn it on.
Then you can now select the servant you want to prioritize.
Follow the positioning on the Party Mapping
There are only 3 options for brace chains unless you use Servant Priority.
When you pick 3 face cards in FGO, the position of the card determines the damage and effect of the card.
For example, Quick cards generate more stars, Arts cards generate more NP, and Buster cards deal more damage.
At the same time, the 1st card will determine the bonus effect applied to all face cards. For example, if a
Buster card is picked first, all face cards get a damage boost.
The Rearrange Cards feature orders the 3 strongest cards so the 2nd strongest is used last.
If default card priority is used, FGA will pick these 3 cards:
- Jeanne Archer Buster (strongest card)
- Castoria Buster (3rd strongest card)
- Jeanne Archer Arts (2nd strongest card)
If you do not select any class, FGA will pick support from the current class that is showing in the screen.
Be sure to click on the class that you want to select.
If you want to check the All option toggle this button.
:warn: This feature does not work reliably for users who have not cleared Solomon. The "Start Quest" button
will become unresponsive until you manually click the Back button in the top left.
There are 3 ways to select support.
-
First
FGA will pick the first support that shows up in the support selection screen.
-
Manual
FGA will exit and you must manually pick the support. After picking up the support, Run the FGA again.
-
Preferred
FGA will pick the support that matches the settings in support selection in that order.
If you want to specify which support you want to use, you can use the preferred selection.
In order to set the preferred settings, you must click on the preferred selection option.
Then, you can set the preferred settings.
Click on the Preferred Servants option to show a dialog where you can select your wanted Servants.
Then you can select if you want the preferred servant to be max ascended and which skills to be max level
Note: FGA can only reliably detect if the skill level is max level Lvl. 10 or not. FGA can't detect the current skill level.
Click on Preferred CE and select the wanted CEs.
Then you can select if you want the preferred CE to be max limit broken.
However, for events it's easier to use the in-game CE filter instead of creating event CE images
with the Support Image Maker.
Enable this option if you want to use Support Servants from specific friends.
This is useful if level 90 NP1 Servants are not strong enough for the farming quest. Since FGA can't detect
Servant Levels, NP levels and Append Skill levels, this allows you to filter for those using friend names.
Of course, FGA won't be able to select non-friend Servants who would fulfill those criteria.
If there are no images in the support -> friends directory, it will look like this:
Once you have created images via the Support Image Maker, you can select your friends.
If the preferred support is not found, FGA will refresh the support list according to the settings in
More Options -> Advanced -> Fine-Tune -> Support.
After the limit was reached (e.g. number of refreshes), FGA will act depending on what is set in the fallback option.
