Overview

The Water Monsters Crisis Challenge Quest is a Servant rush of a total of 7 break bar Servants, all with a theme of being paired Servants! All Servants have two HP bars ranging from 121 - 170k HP.
The Trung Sisters start out in front, and will grant all her allies (including the backline) with a special buff that randomly applies minor defensive of offensive buffs each turn. These buffs have infinite duration, but are removable.
Each of the Servants also has a different break skill:
- Hai Ba Trung: Gains 2-time Evade and permanent Debuff Immunity.
- Anne & Mary: Gains perma Sure Hit and 50% Crit Rate buff.
- Izumo-no-Okuni: Grants all allies 1 NP Gauge and herself 2 NP Gauge (she gets a total of 3 charge).
- Ryouma Lancer: Gains perma Ignore Invincible and debuffs all enemies and allies' DEF.
- Dioscuri: Gains a permanent Crit Damage buff and 3-turn Taunt.
- Okita Saber Alter: Gains unremovable 1-time Guts (5% HP Revival) and NP Damage Up.

Team Recommendations

Rider AoE Damage Dealers are an excellent choice due to either being neutral or advantageous against all bosses.
Archer AoE Damage Dealers are also a decent option since three of the enemies are Saber Class, although Masters might want to watch out for Ryouma Lancer.
Berserker and Extra Class AoE Damage Dealers are otherwise a great option to cover the wide Class variety.
Trait notes:
- All seven enemy Servants are weak to Enuma Elish (Gilgamesh works well, especially given he is an Archer).
- A total of 5 enemies are Human Attribute (Morgan works quite well also, combined with her Berserker Classing).
Damage / NP Gauge Support is helpful as always to keep the damage dealer's gauge filled to defeat the enemy Servants as quickly as possible. Since the enemies gain buffs passively every turn, the buffs can snowball if left for too long.
Buff Removal can also come in handy if waves cannot be cleared quickly, to avoid allowing buffs to stack too much over time.
