Overview

The 2021 Exhibitions kick off with a bout against Napoleon, Fionn, and Nero Bride! This battle can be difficult due to the swapping of which unit is the 'active' Attacker at any given time, although it is technically possible to solo this encounter (see video links).
Suggested Enemy Order:
- With Sure Hit/Ignore Invincible available on DPS:
  Napoleon > Fionn > Nero
- No Sure Hit/Ignore Invincible available on DPS:
  Napoleon > Nero > Fionn
- As detailed below, breaking Fionn early will grant a chance to evade a hit every turn to all enemy Servants, which can cause trouble for parties without access to Sure Hit or Ignore Invincible on their DPS. The DPS could either innately have a Sure Hit or Ignore Invincible skill, or support could grant this effect as well to circumvent it. Buff removal unfortunately is not effective due to Fionn's 100% Buff Removal Resist buff.
Three enemy Servants with 2 HP bars each: Every enemy Servant has two HP bars, and will have a break effect that occurs.
Special Gimmick: Enemy [Attacker] and [Supporter] States: Napoleon starts off as the "Attacker" of the group. Only one of the three enemy Servants will have the "Attacker" state at any given time, while the others will have "Supporter". All Supporters take 70% decreased damage and heal 20k HP a turn, but also deal 85% less NP damage. The Attacker, on the other hand, has no damage resistance buff, HP regen, or damage debuffs, and instead has a large 100% ATK buff.
Stunning / Breaking / Incapacitating the "Attacker" will make the "Attacker" switch: The Attacker will swap from front to back in order, going to Fionn, Nero, and then back to Napoleon whenever the active Attacker has their HP bar broken, or if they are stunned or incapacitated. If an "Attacker" is about to use an NP, breaking their HP bar will cause them to change to a "Supporter", where they get the 85% NP damage debuff right before they use their NP.
Turn Order is Fionn > Nero > Napoleon: If all three are alive, each enemy Servant will act once per turn in the listed order.
Notable Enemy Skills:
- Nero Bride will periodically charge NP Gauge for an ally by 1: Nero will frequently use her "Stars for the Sky" skill on a random ally, which will increase their NP Gauge by a tick.
- Napoleon has Ignore Invincible and an AoE NP: Avoid allowing Napoleon to use his NP in Attacker state if he has his 3-turn Ignore Invincible buff active. He will randomly use the Ignore Invincible skill throughout the battle. With his short 3-bar NP Gauge and innate Ignore DEF on his NP, he is probably the most dangerous of the Servants and would be best eliminated first.
- Fionn has a Taunt + Evade Skill: Fionn will periodically use a skill that will apply a 1-turn taunt and chance to evade for himself, forcing all incoming single target damage to be on him.
- Fionn also has a party NP Charge Skill: Fionn also has a skill that, in addition to buffing his allies' Critical Rate, has a chance to increase the NP Gauge for the entire enemy side by 1 tick.
Break Effects:
- Fionn - Applies 60% chance of Evade every turn to all allies (1 time, 1 turn), and grants 100% Buff removal resist to all allies. His break effect can be a nuisance for teams that do not have easy access to Sure Hit or Ignore Invincible.
- Napoleon - Removes DEF buffs (DEF Up, Damage Cut, Invincible, Evade) from all enemies and increases Crit Rate for all allies by 30%. Except more hard-hitting critical hits from enemies after breaking Napoleon, and avoid using defensive skills before breaking him.
- Nero - Adds burn (300 damage per turn for 3 turns) as an effect to all allies' normal attacks. The damage from burn is relatively minor, although it can become dangerous if active on a Servant survives using the Event CE's 1 HP guts, since the burn damage can also kill.

Team Recommendations

Berserker DPS is a decent option; all enemy Servants are the three Knight classes (Saber, Lancer, Archer), and Berserkers have advantage against all three Classes. Neutral-advantage offensive options are also doable if properly supported.
DPS with Sure Hit / Ignore Invincible are also very useful, particularly to deal with Fionn's party-wide Evade break effect, such as Xiang Yu, Musashi Berserker, or Dantes.
Sure Hit or Ignore Invincible Support is an alternative if a DPS with the two are not available, although if neither are an option, leaving Fionn for last is also a possible route.
Equip the Event Damage CE on the DPS - preferably max limit broken (MLB) with the five copies available from the event lottery. The damage boost will help a great deal in bringing the enemy Servants down quickly, and the Guts effect can help keep the DPS alive.
Taunt Support greatly helps with keeping the DPS alive, particularly if electing to take a Berserker DPS. Georgios, Mash, and Leonidas are all great options, as well as the GUDAGUDA Poster Girl CE if available. Placing a GUDAGUDA Poster Girl CE on Avicebron, who has a helpful on-death party Invincibility effect, is also a decent option.
Damage Support of the Card Type of choice also works well. Merlin, Skadi, Tamamo, Nero Bride, and Waver are all excellent choices. Do keep in mind that bringing double-Servant compositions are not allowed in the Exhibition, however.
