Fate/Grand Orderplayers haven’t gotten a new story release since June, but Lostbelt 3 has finally arrived before the Christmas. After reaching the Wandering Sea, Chaldea has established a working home base. The protagonist, however, is poisoned and now the only cure awaits in the Synchronized Intellect Nation within China. Note that completing this chapter is required to access an event in late March or early April 2021.
Compared toprevious Lostbelts, humanity is still intact, but the Qin dynasty never fell into ruin and eventually took over the world. To triumph this time, players and their servants must take on many alternate versions of legendary Chinese figures that shaped the country’s history.STORY SPOILERS AHEAD

Poison Mechanic
Because of being poisoned in the story, players won’t be able to use their mystic codes for several turns. The duration starts at 1 turn but can go all the way up to 5 turns towards the end. Use class-effective servants that don’t need those skills or supports that provide the same utility.
Prince of Lan Ling - 183,062 HP/214,625 HP
Xiang Yu - 605,880 HP/607,527 HP
Burst Xiang Yu usingFate/Grand Orderservants with extra damage to males including Euryale, Orion, and Tamamo-no-Mae (Lancer). The battle ends once Xiang Yu loses his first health bar so don’t waste any turns on Lan Ling.
Prince of Lan Ling - 108,575 HP/126,250 HP
Xiang Yu - 200,353 HP/206,550 HP/213,435 HP
Because Lan Ling will taunt after an HP bar is broken, focus him first withArcher-class servantsto get around the effect. attempt to save an NP until the defense buff falls off and burst through his last HP bar despite the attack down debuff.
All servants will be effective against Xiang Yu, but save any debuffs until after his first HP bar. Use single-target NPs with extra male damage or ignore defense like Shiki’s to cut down Xiang Yu’s last bar before he tears through the player’s remaining party members.
Section 11-3
Prince of Lan Ling - 136,350 HP/183,062 HP/236,087 HP
Use Euryale or other servants with extra male damage, but slowly whittle Lan Ling down after breaking his first HP bar. If using Arts servants, wait for skill cooldowns and save burst until after the second HP bar to negate the debuff.
Section 12-1
Yu Mei-ren - 672,438 HP/767,305 HP
Yu will cast her AoE NP every turn which one-shots most servants and applies a poison DoT that will take away the Guts on future turns. Bring Caster-class servants with single-target NPs likeXuanzang Sanzangor Shuten-Douji that can deal heavy damage to Yu with support and have their own ways to negate her NP or poison debuff.
Alternatively, just bring a solo servant that has a Command Code like Code: Cure which removes ailment debuffs. Yu will attack or cast her NP as usual, but it only procs Guts and the servant immediately removes the poison debuff with the Command Code card. This repeats until her HP bar eventually breaks.
Section 15-3
Captain of the Guard (Li Shuwen) - 212,295 HP/236,975 HP/274,500 HP
Use Caster or Alter Ego servants but be aware that the Captain can still one-shot through class disadvantage. Xuanzang and Meltryllis are recommended because of debuff immunity and buff removal respectively. However,Shuten-Doujiis another viable option for players without a strong single-target servant against Assassins.
Have multiple support servants or taunts ready for when a front-liner inevitably dies. Mash is also recommended as a backup because she can taunt the Captain for 2 turns if lucky. Because of the heavy RNG element, this fight is one of the hardest in Lostbelt 3 and may require several tries.
Xiang Yu - 200,353 HP/203,796 HP/205,173 HP
Yu Mei-ren - 121,373 HP/125,559 HP
Players will need to kill Yu first because her NP only needs 3 turns and she occasionally charges another tick. However, Xiang Yu cannot be ignored until then because he will overwhelm the remaining party members. Use AoE NP servants to break through multiple HP bars at once and keep additional invulnerabilities or taunts to buy time until Xiang Yu starts taking bonus damage again.
Section 16-2
Qin Shi Huang - 250,082 HP/270,658 HP/300,732 HP
Qin Shi Huang’s NP gives him invincibility, attack up, plus even more critical damage and critical strike chance which means he will one-shot most servants even through neutral or class disadvantage. Fortunately, it is negated by nullify buff and any Avengers can shrug off several hits normally. Because of this criteria,Jeanne D’arc Alteris the best solution to deal with the first emperor of China, but other servants that can remove buffs like Meltryllis are also viable.
Section 16-4
Tree of Emptiness Mayall - 188,372 HP/210,798 HP/325,167 HP
Use a Buster single-target NP from a Caster like Xuanzang or Shuten-Douji to push Mayall into the second phase as soon as possible. Once Mayall loses its Quick resistance, continue chipping away at its HP using Quick and some Buster cards. After Mayall loses its Arts resistance, swap in supports and burst it down using Quick and Arts NPs.
