 * Suggested servant : Medb, Euryale, Jeanne d'Arc (Alter). Make sure you can keep them alive long enough as well!

 * If you kill one of the Servant Hassan with DelayedBuff.png Prepare to Die with Me buff, they will debuff the servant that killed them with a Debuffregen.png kill on the end of the turn debuff which can NOT be removed with Debuff Removal and can not be prevented with Debuff immunity and it will surely kill the debuffed servant at the end of the enemy turn, except the final cursed arm hassan.
 * You have to remove DelayedBuff.png Prepare to Die with Me buff before killing ech Servant Hassan. If Medea kills them with Rule Breaker, the buff removal will not activate. Amakusa Shirō's NP removes buffs before dealing damage, so it can be used to kill without having the Doom of it activating.
 * Suggestion:
 * bring Medea to cleanse buff, Medea (Lily) for wide area heal, or any Servant that can cleanse buff status such as Jack the Ripper, Tristan, Diarmuid Ua Duibhne or Amakusa Shirō. Irisviel (Dress of Heaven) for guts status survival team.

 * You need to kill the Celtic Soldiers and Druids to remove the buffs.
 * Order of buff removal: Invulnerability -> Arts -> Buster -> Defense buff -> Defense buff -> Defense buff -> Quick

 * The Queen's Adoration: Heals all minions for 20k HP
 * The Queen's Adoration: Focus fire on one target

 * Suggestion: Bring Tamamo no Mae (Lancer) Anti-Male; Scáthach, Anti Divine.
