They also come with five attacks known as ∼ommand 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. Each Servant has their various 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.
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. Gameplay revolves around fielding teams of units called Servants, based on historical figures from fantasy and real life, in turn-based battles. Yet the secret lying within Fuyuki in the year 2004 is only the first step in a new Grand Order that sees you traveling across time and space, teaming up with (and facing against) the living legends of human history to fix the distortions warping the events of the past, and save the future. Their mission is to go into the past and stop the space-time distortion at its source by utilizing an experimental form of Time Travel developed by Chaldea, with the aid of FATE and their Servants. Chaldea gathers several candidates capable of using the Guardian Heroic Spirit Summoning System "FATE", a system that summons and weaponizes the legends of great historical, mythological, and fictional figures as "Servants". Their researchers pinpoint the cause to a distortion within the space-time continuum, located in the Japanese city of Fuyuki in the year 2004. 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 humanity will soon face an impossible and unknown extinction event. 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.
The Chaldea Security Organization is a secret organization dedicated to the preservation of the human race. The game has also been released in China, Taiwan, and South Korea. An English version was announced in April 2017 and launched in the United States on June 25, 2017, later becoming available in Australia and Southeast Asia.
It was released in Japan on Android on July 25, 2015, and iOS during August of the same year.

The classes of Ruler, Avenger and Moon Cancer make up their own class triangle with Avenger beating Ruler, Ruler beating Moon Cancer, and Moon Cancer beating Avenger, while Alter Ego, Foreigner and Pretender also make their own class triangle, with Alter Ego beating Foreigner, Foreigner beating Pretender, and Pretender beating Alter Ego. While many Extra Classes exist, like Gunner, Faker, Voyager, Watcher, Saver, or Funny Vamp, only seven have appeared thus far in Grand Order: Shielder, Ruler, Avenger, Moon Cancer, Alter Ego, Foreigner and Pretender, the last two of which make their introduction to the franchise here. As the Grand Order and the FATE summoning system do not operate under the rules of a Holy Grail War, such Servants are far more common during the events of Fate/Grand Order. These fall under the umbrella term of "Extra Classes", and are typically only summoned under extraordinary or taboo circumstances. There are additional Classes and designations that do not fall under the seven "regular" Classes summoned as part of the Holy Grail War ritual.
