New and veteran players alike may wonder how to clear the numerous Challenge Quests that arrive with the titular event. The least expensive setups are solos, and present a clear baseline for all other clears.
Conversely, they offer a somewhat painless way to approach these quests for players with undeveloped rosters. With that in mind, and with the help of friend supports and some of the showcased videos, I'm sure any player could tackle these challenges face-on.
For an in-depth explanation of the various gimmicks employed in these CQs, please refer to Battle in New York 2020's Fandom Wikia page.
Please note that this sheet doesn't offer farming comps. For those, we recommend checking SaberOfAvalon & xzero's sheet for farming comps instead.

Flame Gate・Leonidas
Flame Gate is somewhat challenging to solo due to Saber Shiki and Nero being the only two servants capable of doing it. However, it remains relatively easy to do with any AoE Saber and appropriate supports.
- Artoria/Merlin/Mash - no backline involved
- Low rarity example: Saber Lily DPS with a borrowed Merlin
- Nero Claudius [NP5] [Lv100]
- Ryougi Shiki (Saber) [NP5] [Lv100]
Phantom of the Skyscraper・Okada Izo

Come Now! To The Land of Jaguars!・Jaguar Man&co.
When it was released this CQ's difficulty was blown out of proportions. In truth, it is perfectly doable with simple comps.
- Cu Chulainn (Alter) [NP1] [Lv100]
- Ereshkigal [NP5] [Lv100]
- F2P servants with a friend's Merlin
- Katsushika Hokusai [NP5] [Lv100]
Dollar-Cent Leasing Shop・Queen of Sheba
This challenge quests features gimmicks that might cause solos to be a bit troublesome. The encounter isn't overwhelmingly hard and can still be carried by a friend support and a bunch of fodder units:
- Cu Chulainn (Alter) [NP1] [Lv100]
- Cu Chulainn (Alter) with 5 fodder servants
- Heracles [NP5] [Lv100]
- Mecha Eli and f2p units with a friend's Merlin
Sweets Universe・Mysterious Heroine X (Alter)
Unlike the vast majority of CQs, there are no known solo runs of MHXA. The simplest way to do it is through stalling. These are some example runs that might offer ideas on how to deal with MHXA and her army:
- BB, Merlin and Jeanne - generic stall
- Cu Chulainn squad and two taunters
- Low rarity with multiple guts CEs
- Another low rarity example but with a borrowed Merlin
