Salutations Master! Fate/Grand Order’s next update will kick off the Dead Heat Summer Race! event. Get ready to compete against your fellow masters and help your servants race across the continent for the Ishtar Cup of Hope and Dreams! The event will last 22 days, splitting into two parts. In this article, we will go over what you can expect from the first part of this event. In order to participate you will need to have cleared the Main Quest: Fuyuki, first.

Quests

The main quests for Dead Heat Summer Race! are split into four rounds. Each round has milestones that must be met to unlock new story quests. Milestones are unlocked based on the progress of the leading team. You only need to participate in one quest to unlock rewards for the round. Completing Story Quests unlocks Aid Battles (Free Quests). Aid Battles reward Aid Points that help boost the ranking of your team. Team rankings are based on participation, similar to the Guda Guda Meji Ishin event. Rewards are distributed based on the top three teams for the round.

There are three items available to help boost your team.



Buster Gasoline boots team Tyrant: Shooting Star and Stablemaster & Reverend Sanzang

Arts Nitro boosts team Satisfaction E∴T∴E and Desert Beauty



Quick Oil boosts team The Terrifying Dai Rokuten Maou X and Steam Electrical with Papa
