Fate/Grand Order’s Halloween event always injects fresh excitement into the game, and 2026 is no exception. This year, the spotlight shifts away from Elizabeth Bathory to introduce a thrilling new servant alongside festive cosmetic changes that will surely energize your lineup and celebrate the season in style.
The upcoming event, titled Pumpkin Farm Slaughter, sees the addition of the 5-Star Berserker servant Daedalus. Initially an NPC during the 2024 Tears of Icarus event, Daedalus now joins the roster as a fully playable character, continuing Fate/Grand Order’s 2026 trend of converting NPCs into full servants.

Daedalus's skillset emphasizes strong support and offense, making him a versatile Berserker who can enhance your team's performance in multiple ways. Here’s a quick rundown of his abilities:
Skill 1: High-Speed Designing A
- This skill reduces the cooldown of Daedalus’s abilities by 1 turn, provides a battery charge, and boosts Arts and Buster performance for a single ally lasting three turns.
Skill 2: Culture Hero B
- At its core, this skill increases the Overcharge (OC) level by 1 when an ally uses their Noble Phantasm for three turns, while boosting NP damage on one ally for the same duration.
- Additionally, Daedalus gains a two-hit invulnerability for three turns, plus buffs that collectively raise the OC level of allies by 1 on Quick card hits, attack on Arts card hits, and critical damage on Buster card hits—each lasting for several hits or turns.
Skill 3: Crucible of Cyclops (Crucible of the God of Blacksmithing) C
- This skill grants a battery and buffs to NP generation per turn and star generation per turn, each lasting three turns, enhancing self-sustainability and star effectiveness.
Noble Phantasm: ikaros Ascends Again: Soar Again, Indestructible Wings
- Daedalus’s Noble Phantasm boosts his NP damage based on Overcharge for three turns, delivers AoE damage that reduces enemy defense for a further three turns, while also cleansing party debuffs and healing allies, providing solid utility alongside raw damage.
Beyond Daedalus, the Halloween event features new alternate costumes for five beloved servants: Jack the Ripper, Baobhan Sith, Watanabe no Tsuna, Tutankhamun, and Kukulkan. These skins add fresh visual flair just in time for the seasonal festivities.
