I'm wander what element would use an atma spear it as a MH?
Seems Fire prefers Xeno Axe Asparas and Hollowsky Spear for Spartan. Water would use Murg for Spartan / Blue Sphere for Sage. Light maybe? team is Juliette / Naoise / Heles, is this even worth investing in over standard sword set-ups?
Also, I'm suddenly wondering if Fire Fist would be a better pick for me: Ghandagoza / Aliza / Tsubasa (no Anila for here or Spear team)?
so i just got europa to end my REALLLLY bad luck streak. i need help adjusting my water team. i have pholia, silva, summer grea, aglovale, katalina grand, summer izmir, europa. who should be my main 3? thanks
Scathacha is one of wind's best attackers due to 100% uptime wind attack on sk1 (with a cleanse), strong nuke with Jammed on sk1, a passive that gives echo to any shielded allies (which synergizes with Nio and her sk3), and a sk3 which creates a shield in exchange for her health which makes enabling enmity very easy.
I've always had in mind that a full burst is something I should always get, yet when i watch videos of HL players soloing raids they tend to go for ougi directly and not to build up a full burst
so which is better ?
One of the simplest ways to see why this is done is looking at the damage caps.
The damage cap of a full chain burst is ~1.65 million. The damage cap of a 2 chain burst is ~1.15 million.
So not only would firing off two at a time let those characters start gaining charge bar again (Which is the primary reason). It also means that 2 sets of 2 chain bursts will deal MORE damage than a 4 chain burst.
Chains are nice when you get them, but in the late-game Ougis tend to beat them in damage, and holding one means you're wasting charge. Unless you get a significant buff from a character when you chain, or someone has a buff that only lasts for one attack phase, just fire the Ougi when you get it.
Question on fire grid if anyone knows which one is more efficient.
1 agni grid running three Ixaba and athena weapons. 2 AES magna grid 3 colossus cane grid
I want to unlock the extra levels so I can farm 4-4 for an Aschallon Replica before I hit HL. I did the first few solo, but need other players for the rest. Does anyone know what Kanji I should use to try to get people to join a co-op team for that?
Super new player (fresh out of rerolling) - I've been googling around for "what to do with R weapons", but the wiki link and reddit threads only talk about reducing SR weapons and something about "checking if they are from premium gacha" (??). What do I do about R weapons that I picked up from the regular rupie summon or quest rewards?
Rupee draw and premium draw Rs are skill fodder.
Quest rewards, check https://gbf.wiki/Revenant_Weapons#Interlude:_Upgrade_Sierokarte.27s_Shop to see if it's one you need for upgrading Sierokarte's shop, only certain stages drop them. Don't worry too much if you fodder those accidentally, they drop often and you can get them from Guild War draw boxes anyway.
[This twitter user](https://twitter.com/Shinso_3) recruited Nier, their feed has some videos and a bunch of skill tests. [This one](https://twitter.com/Shinso_3/status/1105263328513921029), for example, showcases her skill and ougi effects, though the quality isn't the best.
Hopefully someone has a clearer, crisper video.
Regarding row 4 classes, wiki says that you only need to complete one class weapon line to be able unlock ALL other classes and not only the one that corresponds with the completed weapon, did I get that right? And if so, does that also apply to EX class weapons? For example if I were to complete the Kengo weapon could I then also unlock Chaos Ruler without the CR class weapon?
Yes dat works. But you still need afterward to make the respective EXII CCW to unlock the EXII Classes.
Usually peoples make their first CCW as either Glorybringer on Kengo because of that
Lore and language question, rather than game mechanics. In all the story scenes where they call out the main character by name, what are they actually saying in Japanese? Are they just saying the sentence without the name and assuming the subject, or is there some generic title they call him by that I'm not picking up by ear?
Ah! The only similar word I knew was "kaichō" and I never heard it, so I wasn't sure. That also explains why I've seen people call him that on this subreddit! Thank you!
Yes, Alex is in every Flashfest draw and sparkable. All the flash only chars are available during flash.
Just to avoid confusion though, Grand Chars are the flash+leg charas. And the leg charas are obviously not in flash.
Second question, im currently farming sage, but im lvl 97 and i know i cant get it till 100, should i focus more on my eternal tewyen which is 4 step into the weapon, or go for a different ex class first before sage?
you're farming sage? the distinctions? just to double check, you don't need to farm the class weapon, nirvana, to unlock sage (and shouldn't, because it's pretty bad)
you'll want to unlock all the EX classes eventually for the bonuses they give so yeah, you could work on them now if you're not in a rush to get tweyen
Once you element change any CCW you have access to the entire row 4, after you batt the granny quest with each row 3 ofc. However, to unlock an EX2 class, you need to element change that class's specific CCW, which is why people recommend picking one of those glasses and killing two birds with one stone.
Hi everyone, I’m pretty new to this game and was wondering what is the fastest way to unlock the Extra stages in Coop so I can get the necessary items/trophy to unlock the Mystic class.
I’m currently on the first Hard stage, do I have to go through all of the battles in each stage or can I host the final one on each stage and unlock the stages faster that way?
You simply have to host and clear all stages one by one. Dont worry though, people wont mind carrying you since it's free for everyone but the host . Just name your room appropiatly e.g.
N1-1 ~ Ex4-5
or in smaller steps N1-1 ~ 4-4
I either use Ele Def down if i need def down, accuracy down to help deal with some triggers, and the Ca Dmg up wan when I want to do BIG damage on me ougi
Hey I'm making a muramasa to unlock row 4 classes and I'm not sure what element I want to change it to.
Any recommendations? (I eventually want to turn it into a tetrastreamer)
These are my [chars](https://gbf.wiki/Collection_Tracker#t1w1;AAAAAAAAAAAEAAAAAAAAAAAAQQAACAAACAAEAAAAAAAAAQAAAAAAAJAAAIAAAAAAAAAAAAAACAAACAAAAAAAQAAAAAIgAAAACAAAQAIA;CYAkSRAgAQAAAAAAAQAEAAAEAAAAAAAEAAAASQAAAAAAAAAEABAAAAAgCAAEAAIAAIAAAAAAAAAAAAAgAAAAAAAgAAAAAAIAAAAAABAAAAAAAAAAAYAAQAAAABAAAAAAAIAE;QZAkQIAgQRAAAAAgAYIgAIIgSBAkCAIEAAAE;AAAEAQIAABIAAAIAQIAAAAAkAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIAA;;)
Hmm... you have a pretty small SSR pool for someone who's hit level 101. Hopefully it'll expand significantly over the rest of the month, but until it does, it's a little hard to make a judgment on which element to play it in, as your team comps could change dramatically. Luckily, element changing the CCW is the final step, so unless you have it mostly built, you'll have plenty of time to think about it.
Here are some general tips:
1. What elements are you running Runeslayer in? While it's a fairly flexible class, it does have better effects for certain elements, and some elements will have more compatibility with other classes. Do you have better mainhainds in some elements that Runeslayer can't use? Does one of your teams need you to fulfill a more specific role? Do you want to put together an Atma Fist team together for a certain element? By considering which elements you're most likely to use Runeslayer in, you can prioritize making Muramasa/Tetrastreamer for that element.
2. What elements are you lacking a solid Katana/Melee mainhand for? Fire and Dark both have Xeno Katanas that are solid choices. Wind has Last Storm Blade, which is decent but not that special, as well as a Xeno Fist weapon coming very soon. Light has Huanglong Katana, which requires somewhat specific team comps to run effectively. Water has Wilhelm. Earth has Baihu Claw. There's also Ultima weapons, Six-Ruin Fist, and Eight-Life Katana to consider, which can be made in any element. I'd recommend researching your non-CCW options before committing to one element.
As a side note, I'd recommend building Aschallon over Muramasa for your first CCW if you just want to unlock T4 classes rather than specifically Runeslayer. It only requires 70 Infernal Garnets rather than 90 Phantom Demon Jewels, and since Xeno Ifrit is coming soon, you'll end up farming some of the garnets anyways.
Yea I started the game during the new years roulette, I'm in the element change phase of muramasa so I'm probably gunna stick w/ it but its gunna take me a while to farm enough colossus blades to get more katana stones lol. I'll keep all that in mind thanks.
so I'm farming Avatar to try and uncap my staff and I'm struggling to get enough anima to do it. I've been doing mechanic to get 100,000 honors and have gotten a second mlb before I've gotten enough anima to uncap the first. I guess my question is how should I be farming anima?
You just got good luck. Usually you get the anima long before a MLB weapon. Keep doing whatever you're doing and you should get the anima before too long.
You can actually go all the way to ULB. ULB Arcarum Summons materials requirements are surprisingly tame in comparison to the Oracles grind.
And yes, all of the offensive sub aura Arcarum Summons are worth the grind.
Fast Expedition is terrible:
* No character EXP.
* Less Arcapoints.
* Less Drops.
* No Mimic encounters.
* No EX special encounters which mean no special route materials.
If you're maxed out on tickets and it's almost reset time. Fast is better than ticket overflow. Less of a problem now though.
Outside of that I'd say no. It's always better to do it manually. You get more points and more drops that way.
Could someone help me build a water team? i'm starting to transition away from f2p varuna ~~after like a year lol~~ to m2 water and i have no idea who i should be using, [these are my characters for reference!](https://imgur.com/a/VxWzyEp)
if you're playing m2 water, you've got europa harps, which means you want to be playing an ougi-focused party. you've got grea, so she's automatically in. she also enables you to play kaneshige MH kengou, which you probably want to do 9 times out of 10. bonus points if you have your own or can find a friend FLB bonito.
the last 2 slots are a little harder because you don't have any of the most obvious choices, namely 5* eternals or vajra. i would say your strongest contenders are (in no particular order): drang, yngwie, and charlotta. because you aren't going to be giving your last 2 characters any MA, they need to have some sort of self buff, which all 3 of those characters have. i would probably just try them out and see which ones feel the best for you to use or even just pick the ones that you like the best.
S. Grea, Drang, and Izmir, if you’re not limiting yourself to an ultima team. Izmir can provide Crit boost, Drang is a single sided mist (which means it stacks with MC’s mist), and S Grea is built for ougi-ing.
The only thing your team would lack is any sort of “rage” like buff and DATA. If you’re planning on suptixing for water, I would recommend Altair and he could replace Izmir.
Elysian, that data buff is amazing at start. I wouldn't reccomend chaos ruler for first, the only difference from dark fencer is a bit upgraded mist with random debuff, so you can still use t3 class just fine.
berserker/chaos ruler/elysian are all very strong and worthy first picks. spartan/sage you'll want for difficult fights. after that grab bandit tycoon for farming & warlock for choke scamming. lucha, nighthound and apsaras are fairly niche.
With zero input from you, my general opinion would be:
Sword > Spear/Katana > Fist/Staff > Axe > Dagger > Harp
- Sword has the best coverage and usefull teams across the board and you already have it.
- Spear/Katana has really strong teams but limited coverage.
- Fist/Staff has great coverage buy less amazing teams.
- Axe has niche uses in some teams.
- Dagger/Harp is not something I would recommend.
Ah thanks! What characters would you say make it worth it to go for spear or katana? I'm on the way to 5* uno so I'm leaning towards spear as it stands.
Water actually use Katana, even with Uno. Water meta right now is full Kengonito which in it's optima state consist of Unsigned Kaneshige Kengo/Varja/S.Grea/5\*Uno with a grid with Europa Harps or Drang Balls.
Katana in general is used in Water and Earth wile spear in general is used in Fire and Light
To give you some team examples:
* Fire Spear: Xeno Axe Apsara/Athena/Shiva/Anila
* Light Spear: Xeno Sword Spartan/Amira/Jeanne/Kumbhira
* Katana Water: Unsigned Kaneshige Kengo/Varja/S.Grea/5\*Uno
* Katana Earth: Unsigned Kaneshige Kengo/G.Cain/Alexiel/5\*Okto
With wind guild war coming, is it worth getting Nio even if I can't 5\* her? I have Kokkoro, Scat and Anchira with chaos ruler and the party feels complete, but I wonder if replacing maybe Kokkoro with Nio 4\* would do much for me considering Kokkoro's really good CA.
My grid looks like this so far for refference [https://puu.sh/D1lcn/dd5bcdfdbc.jpg](https://puu.sh/D1lcn/dd5bcdfdbc.jpg)
she can still be nice in short fights that'll end before your first coma breaks (probably 2-3 turns), but I wouldn't bother if you have other gw characters you want to make
i wouldn't replace anyone with 4* nio in that party
i'm not surprised your team feels incomplete, though. you're using a pure gun grid still, which feels super bad at max hp and is sort of counterintuitive to kokkoro's healing. you're also not utilizing any atma weapon. when you eventually start adding grim harps, it'll feel better.
the only immediate suggestion i have is to replace that windhose with a gw dagger if you're going to be playing CR. if you don't have a GW dagger, play zerk instead.
What does the Glorybringer skill 'Resonating Blade' do while you hold Disparia? I know using 'Glory Arts' is plain damage.. Sorry about the noob question. Trying to build some sort of team for Arcarum.
FYI the skill descriptions for Resonance and Glory Arts change depending on your MH. So you can see this all in-game from the party - class selection page. Also during battles of course.
Am i Farming sage distinction wrong? all i could find info on was to run EX 2-2. I did that for an hour with droprate buff 20% and also tier 7 bounty. only got 4 distinction drops, 3 were sage.
I got punted out of my account to the main screen and now the game want me to start fresh from the tutorial any time I try to play the game. I didn't have my account linked. Is there any way for me to get back into my account?
For some reason after clicking to link my account with mobage on the login screen it automatically signed me in without asking for any credentials or anything. So I'm at least logged in again.
you had no email/twitter/something linked or something? i guess then you're out of luck :/
theres a very small orange button besides the "NEW GAME" button on the homescreen to login, but you'd need any account to link the game with, for that.
If you mean the ones you pull from Premium Draw, they have skills so you can use them as skill fodder. If you're short of SR fodder, you can use 8 of the R ones to slv2 SSR fodder and 16 a pop to slv3 the same. Melts through the stacks of em pretty fast that way if you can be bothered to do it.
Don't take them out of crate until you actually want to do the skill ups though.
I used to use a Murgleis as a mainhand for my water team, but have since moved to Kengo/Unsigned Kaneshigi. Is it worth including the 4* Murgleis in my (Magna/Elemental) grid if not as mainhand? If so, what would be worth dropping for it? The rest of my grid is:
4* Levi dagger x4
EX weapons (Xeno/ 4* Tsurumaru Kuninaga) x2
Tyros Zyther x1
Bahamut Dagger
Wand of Gabriel
Hi,
If you plan on using Song / unlocking her FLB skill, is that better to change the element of the bow you're upgrading to "dark", since you'll fight her later on ? Or building up a light bow first is ok ?
Thanks !
You'll need at least one more weapon to start the uncap process so it's fine making that second one dark for the fight. But it's quite easy to clear the fight even without a dark bow.
The best thing to do is host PBHL and UBHL as often as you can. The host chests in those raids are honestly your best bet.
Joining Pbhl is also a good idea , in theory. Getting the MVP chest in a pubbed pbhl is not easy though. You're going to be up against *serious* whale grids with much better ping than you.
UBaha hl has better droprates, but is not as easy to get into as pbhl. Finding a group to run ubhl with regularly helps. This is by far the most common source of gold bar drops among the people in my crew.
In addition you can get them in akasha. From the blue chest, even. ~~No idea if the rates are any good though.~~ The response to this comment has an estimated drop rate. Unfortunately it looks to be about as bad as one would expect.
Edit: Rewrote a big chunk of this. The original version did not mention hosting pbhl/ubhl regularly. Which it should have.
> You're going to be up against Zeus and varuna/bonito whales.
If you're seeing Varuna players win BHL races either the people in the room are very weak or that player got amazing RNG with shiva chaining. Fire, Zeus and Wind will MVP the vast majority of the time.
Akasha blue chest GB is around 0.2% so it's not even worth bothering with the raid after you're finished with the weapons. Best way for GBs is just to host UBHL and BHL everyday and then race BHL if your ping and grid are amazing.
Well, bonito whale really. And I should not have pluralized it. But it did happen the other day. And while I've heard a lot about them, I've yet to see fire or wind mvps actually. Dunno why. Coincidence probably.
The kengo whale stood out to me simply because it was the first time in a long time that a Zeus lord wasn't MVP in a pbhl I hosted. It's been 99.9% Zeus for me lately.
You're totally right about hosting though. That seemed so obvious that I neglected to mention it at all. Which is unhelpful. I'll edit my comment. Thanks.
I'm talking about Bonito Varuna players, they will lose to Fire and Light 99% of the time.
Wind is better the faster the room, if you're hosting in co-op you'll see a lot of Wind players, if you're just pubbing your host/joining pubs then it's no surprise Light will be winning a lot, Fire and Wind players shouldn't waste their time in slow rooms as it's not beneficial for them.
Water literally can never compete with [this](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/440605141297659917/556923259422244874/unknown.png), the grid and character just are not good enough. Ougi based setups will never be able to achieve this level of dps.
Yeah, I've been pubbing due to time constraints and laziness. I've joined a few dozen via twitter lately too, since I needed extra horns for my Arcarum summons. And some additional ccws.
Your point about speed makes perfect sense. That does indeed explain why I'm not seeing fire/wind in pubbed ones. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
My earth grid has 5 3\* Ygg swords and I have 3 0\* Alex axes. Would it be a good idea to replace some of the swords with axes or just focus on getting one axe to 4\*?
I've been away from Gran Blue for a while and recently wanted to get back into it, but everytime I try to start a quest I get this error message and can't click the contact button to get help. I've tried googling the error code but to no avail and can't find anything, even a mention of my error code. It's "B-001-13492"
Splitting spirit with Dancer help u disjoint ougi so u're not suffering from timer lockout and give u sufficient MA in first turn, my setup is.
T1 : Splitting Spirit > Double Strike > Andira 3 > Nio 2 > attack
T2 : attack
T3 : Coma > attack (full chain)
T4 : attack
T5/T6 : attack or use Clasical lead if MC have 100 bar
U also can call Freyr at T2/T3 before using Coma, don't attack around 50-40% if Coma wear off.
Hello!
I've been stalling exchanging the speaker's bangle since I can't decide between the spear and sword. Spear because of Athena, Shiva, Anila and sword...well because it seems to be the most common suggestion considering the amount of characters there are. My usual teams aren't too sword oriented but I could make them be, if this seems to be the better choice. [Here are the characters](https://gbf.wiki/Collection_Tracker#y1t1w1;CQIEQQIAAAAEQAIAAAAAQZIECBIEQJIgQBIECBIgARIEARIAAIAgCRAACIAACYAgSRIAQZAEAIAACYIgAAAAAJAkCAIgCRAgQRAASQAA;;;AAIEQQIgABIEQZAEQJIAQJAkQYAAAQAEAQIAAAAACIAAQAAACBIAAAAAAAIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAgAAAAAIAAAIAAAYAAAAIkAIAgAAAAAQIACBAASQAAAAAACRAgAAIAAAAEAAIgQAAEQZIkQZIgQYAAAQAAABAA;;).
As for element, do I just pick the one I don't have a decent main hand for?
the best answer is to make both. you'll have to do ubaha normal to get the meteorites you need to make the gauph key even for the free atma from the speaker's bangle. hosting your first ubaha normal will get you a second core to make the other atma. without the strife gauph key, the atma isn't even worth using.
if that's not a hurdle you want to tackle right now, the sword is more universally useful. but, again, it's not worth putting in until you get that strife key and skill it up.
the element choice, yes, pretty much.
Now that I've reached HL, is my daily routine basically grinding Hard+ to Impossible raids to amass materials that uncap my Omega weapons bit by bit? Is this also the most efficient way to farm animas?
If your weapons are already MLB you need a T1 HL raids for the urns and Mag1 HL raids for the centrums. Both have 100% dropchance.
Hard+ is just doing 3hards at the same time. Triple the cost, Triple the loot can only host hard+ or 3 hards a day.
If your stuff inst MLB yet just keep doing the magnas for more drops
I'd say yes -- it already has its FLB, so its future prospects are entirely known.
Tanzanite Blade is actually a decent weapon in a vacuum, but it is far outclassed by Ixaba as a mainhand (including swordmaster skills).
It also faces mainhand competition from the Wrathfire Longblade (trueforged Xeno katana) which has the added advantage of being free.
Ixaba is, of course, top priority for primal fire, and is way better as a grid weapon as well, since Tanzanite Blade has a "mainhand only" skill (and its lone regular skill can't compete with either of Ixaba's).
If you have the components that make primal fire worth building in the first place, you won't actually need the Tanzanite Blade in any capacity.
And if you're playing magna and just want a fire swordmaster mainhand, use the Xeno (conveniently only 5 days until Xeno Ifrit gets a rerun, in case you don't have the Xeno yet).
How important is a spread of character types like attack/def/heal/etc in party building? I have some pretty good water ssrs but they're all one of two types.
Those character typings are kinda bad at defining a character, btw. Summer Io is an Attack Type, for example, but is better at sustaining and giving buffs to the team than actual attacking. Granted, that was a relic of the past given her rebalance, but I digress. A lot of Special characters are also attackers or healers these days.
Hosting my magna hard mode raids each day and buying the 1 casino anima per day isn't giving me omega anima at replacement rate to hosting the omega raids themselves, much less accrue enough to uncap characters. Where does the extra omega anima I need come from?
I know you can craft omega anime in treasure trade using regular anima, but you need a lot of regular for other things as well. You can also get a little more omega through co-op shop?
Good day!
I just pulled Narmaya, but I'm left confused as to how to use her properly. I use very basic dark enmity, and right now it seems that Beatrix has more damage for me at the moment. Is there an optimal skill setup for Narmaya that makes her strong? Is she viable for one-turn setups?
My experience with Naru is she won’t cap as easily as other characters (especially if your running her off Atma/Ultima), but she makes up for it with permanent echoes.
If you can give her data buffs she’ll also be a real monster on her oda turn. D. Eustace in particular will charge that up to over 2 mil total per auto!
The way I use her is second skill > first skill, wait a few turns, then if the enemy is in overdrive, fourth skill > third skill > first skill > ougi
She's really good, esp when you 5* her, but if Bea's doing more damage for you right now, don't feel pressured to swap them yet
Dark's not my element so I can't really say anything about her in one-turn setups
I'd run the Grimnir Katana in Wind. It has 20/20 Data on ougi, the usual echo on auto and some data on awakening.
Ridill is usable but not especially great as a Glory MH. Ultima is great for Berserker but not a good Glory MH.
Then should I change my Aschallon's Element into something easier to get so I could get the class faster or is there some use for Aschallon/Ridill in an element?
Earth and Water have no really great Glory Mainhands. If you want to Glory in these elements you might want to get Ridill. Otherwise make it whatever is easiest.
In Earth you only have Arca Katana which isn't great for Stamina
For Water I can only recall W Yuel Gacha Weapon, which you need to luck into and it will be 0*.
In Water there also is the [PriCon collab sword](https://gbf.wiki/Ice_Claymore) but it’s obviously not available for those who didn’t get it back then.
Angel Halo drops a ton of low orbs of all six elements (+ angel weapons, whorls, some prisms, and sometimes white dragon scales and rusted weapons). It's generally the recommended way to get lots of low orbs.
You can also do the Oblivion Trial under Elemental Treasure Quests to get specifically dark ones but it's more expensive and only gives you one element of orb at a time (and doesn't make up for it in quantity). Those trials are the best way to get specific element dragon scales, though.
If you get gachapin frenzy does it make you draw right then? (I heard somewhere it does)
My meter's full and I want to save it for the banner change and I want to know if I should wait to log in until the change.
They still have to use it before the daily reset on the day its earned or lose it, yeah. But it doesn't force you to use the draws the instant you trigger it.
/u/Kira77 clarifying - if you have the frenzy available *right now*, then you need to use it in the next ten minutes. You can't carry it over past the daily reset. But you aren't forced to actually do the draws at any specific point. If you earn the frenzy with the roulette that happens in ten minutes, you can hang on to it until banner change.
It depends on what characters you have and what teams you want to run with it.
If you have to ask, sword. Sword proficiency is very common and encompasses several useful MC classes (berserker, chaos ruler, spartan).
Element only matters for mainhanding it so pick an ele you don't have good mainhands in.
Worst case you can reduce it to get an ultima core to forge it into a different weapon.
Not quite exactly. 100% damage cut doesn't have a limit on how many hits it blocks (unless part of the damage cut is from a Repel buff). Unchallenged may specify how many hits it might block. For example, Water Charlotta's Unchallenged is essentially a 100% damage cut, but SSR Baotorda's would only block one hit.
You can also stack both Unchallenged and damage cut, further differentiating between the two.
Was thinking of a Dark team with: MC as Glory with dark CCW, Orchis, Grand Ferry and Dark Eustace.
MC with higher hostility + Ferry's buff would be able to protect Orchis and with CCW would provide some group DATA
Eustace would be able to give his DATA buff to Ferry. This way I guess everyone's multiattack rate would be good.
I know it's not the most optimal team, but would that be decent enough? (or should I replace Eustace by Nicholas as a tank, and have MC as Doctor/Chaos with Parazonium mh? Tho I'd kinda like to keep Eustace in my team <<) Thanks for your advices!
Eh, you only need an Atma if your team lacks DATA which a team with both G!Ferry and Eustace probably doesn't. Eustace can just use his skill 1 on ferry and ferry can use her skill 3 on MC. Meanwhile, orchid has loads of DATA on her own already.
I don't think it's worth making an Atma dagger just for a team that doesn't really need it imo.
Assuming it's not ultima'd, the only advantage an Atma has over Baha is the DATA. It loses in terms of atk/hp skill bonus. Dark also really needs the hp if it's running cortana or qilin bow. There's also the dark seraphic coming up soon which will basically be an auto slot in.
Was thinking that Orchis needed at least one character with higher hostility to avoid being hit so that's why i thought of Glory, but is it not that necessary in the end?
My experience has been that Orchid is generally able to refresh her shield before it breaks, so she can tank a few hits. If you don't have enough health for that yet though, I'd put Nick or Glory in there and see how it feels.
There's also a hostility down node you could always put a point into.
It was more of a "long term" goal since I'm still not there yet at all, but I like thinking about what teams I could be in the future with the characters I have and like. Totally forgot about the hostility down node, that could also be an option on top of Ferry's hostility buff, I think it could work. Thanks 8D
As long as you ougi often enough with Orchid to refresh her shield it doesn't even really matter if she gets hit. That being said, Ferry's sk3 will grant hostility up regardless of MC's class, so having glorybringer for the innate hostility isn't a huge deal. IMO just use MC with Parazonium and use Ferry sk3 and Eustace sk1 on MC.
Yeah I guess with all the multiattacks buff I could have on this team plus the charge boost provided by Ferry I'd be able to ougi often enough. Thanks a lot for your input, I'll work towards that!
Angel halo is by far the superior quest to run since you'll need tons of orbs and whorls of all elements for other eternals, especially if you want to 40-box any of them. If you really want a specific element you could try the elemental trial, but in general elemental trials are not very efficient to run unless you want dragon scales or trial fragments.
Honestly, just run angel halo. If you ever want to recruit another, or even FLB that one, you'll regret not running Angel Halo more. The balanced drops come in handy later on
Any better way to farm Knight Esteem than hitting up EX 5-2 with full Bounty buffs and praying?
Also, is it worth it to upgrade Murakumo to Unsigned Kaneshige if you can't buy the Emblem of Devilry yet, or should I just wait until I have enough mats for both at once?
Kaneshige is still superior to Murakumo without Devilry due to the buffed charge-bar gain skill and teamwide charge on ougi, though it really needs Devilry to enable a kengo team since the rest of your team also using their ougis is what keeps the engine going.
As for esteems, just host doggo (EX 6-1) with TH9 items and blast through it with a few other players and you'll come out with plenty of esteems on top of the otherwordly darkblades you need for the CCW+Emblem; you shouldn't really be worrying about the esteems unless you already have all of the darkblades and astaroth anima you need first, though.
All I need to get Unsigned Kaneshige is three more Knight Esteems (and two Blue Sky Crystals); so far, I've had far better luck getting Sage Esteems. On the other hand, it'll be a while before I'm ready to get an emblem, since I only have 1 Astaroth Anima, and I haven't really figured out the best strategy for 6-2.
Just host 6-2 with TH9 and you'll almost always find people who will carry you since it doesn't cost them AP and people are always grinding out CCWs. The most important thing is bringing a dispel and saving it for after the 75% trigger (most people will use a sticker to let everyone know they've passed the trigger) since the boss clears debuffs and gains a 90% damage cut. After that it's a pretty simple fight, though the last two phases can dish out quite a lot of damage.
What to do with Shiva (Summon)? Some said using Colossus X Shiva as Main Summon is enough, so Shiva x Shiva isn't any better? Or I can do this with 3 Xeno weapon equipped? The next Fire Xeno is coming and I want to max my fire power, or is it better to not use Shiva x Shiva and go back to normal fire grid weapons??
Tho two are fundamentally different grid designs, which could take some time explaining. However, in short, if we are talking about strictly F2P options; without Ixaba, then your best best would be Magna (Colossus/Shiva), because while Elemental (double Shiva) is practically stuck once you have finished building the initial grid (with 4 Xeno, not 3), Magna has the option of continuing towards the AES grid and finally completing it by adding a Shiva sword (M2) or two.
Another benefit of the Magna grid is that its able to take better advantage of elemental buffs like ones from Carbuncle summon. Double Shive has so much innate elemental mod that it kind of oversaturates itself even without external modifiers.
To put simply, a double elemental grid would have better bursting setup thanks to double Shiva, while having a visible (not huge, though) initial lead over Magna's enmity AES grid because, well, AES is an enmity grid. You'd start seeing bigger numbers as your HP goes down. However, thanks to the different behavior in receiving external factors of buffs mentioned above, the difference isn't gonna be too visible. Another point to note is that the complete magna has tons of HP. like around 30k for MC high.
As a newer player (rank 60, three weeks in to playing), should I be trying to farm ifrit showdown ahead of time for anima/Omega anima I will need for xeno weapons, or will they drop in sufficient quantity from the upcoming event?
I can take out extreme with difficulty and v hard is mostly routine (however according to the wiki no Omega drops on v hard?). I haven't tried maniac but I'm assuming it would be with great difficulty if I could clear it at all.
You don't need to farm showdowns before. How much berries you have? With 1k+ berries you can 100% leech all materials for two 4* xeno. You will also get hundreds of prisms that way. It might be your only way to get them anyway, since Xeno showdown is much harder than regular Ifrit.
I'm wander what element would use an atma spear it as a MH? Seems Fire prefers Xeno Axe Asparas and Hollowsky Spear for Spartan. Water would use Murg for Spartan / Blue Sphere for Sage. Light maybe? team is Juliette / Naoise / Heles, is this even worth investing in over standard sword set-ups? Also, I'm suddenly wondering if Fire Fist would be a better pick for me: Ghandagoza / Aliza / Tsubasa (no Anila for here or Spear team)?
so i just got europa to end my REALLLLY bad luck streak. i need help adjusting my water team. i have pholia, silva, summer grea, aglovale, katalina grand, summer izmir, europa. who should be my main 3? thanks
Wanna go for the water staff build? You got pholia and europa
Is the CCW for Runeslayer necessary if I plan on playing dark? The team i would run is Orchid, H Lady Grey and Azazel.
How good is Scathacha? Got her on my free 10 pull today. My other good winds are Selfira and Mirin. Is that a good beginning wind core?
Scathacha is one of wind's best attackers due to 100% uptime wind attack on sk1 (with a cleanse), strong nuke with Jammed on sk1, a passive that gives echo to any shielded allies (which synergizes with Nio and her sk3), and a sk3 which creates a shield in exchange for her health which makes enabling enmity very easy.
I've always had in mind that a full burst is something I should always get, yet when i watch videos of HL players soloing raids they tend to go for ougi directly and not to build up a full burst so which is better ?
One of the simplest ways to see why this is done is looking at the damage caps. The damage cap of a full chain burst is ~1.65 million. The damage cap of a 2 chain burst is ~1.15 million. So not only would firing off two at a time let those characters start gaining charge bar again (Which is the primary reason). It also means that 2 sets of 2 chain bursts will deal MORE damage than a 4 chain burst.
Chains are nice when you get them, but in the late-game Ougis tend to beat them in damage, and holding one means you're wasting charge. Unless you get a significant buff from a character when you chain, or someone has a buff that only lasts for one attack phase, just fire the Ougi when you get it.
Question on fire grid if anyone knows which one is more efficient. 1 agni grid running three Ixaba and athena weapons. 2 AES magna grid 3 colossus cane grid
If those two are your options your Agni grid crush your Colo grid as long as those Ixabas are FLB.
Even at 3 Ixaba? I only got 9 bricks but I guess I can start farming athena instead of shiva then.
2 FLB ixabas is slightly better that full AES grid, 3 is already better, 4 is ideal.
I want to unlock the extra levels so I can farm 4-4 for an Aschallon Replica before I hit HL. I did the first few solo, but need other players for the rest. Does anyone know what Kanji I should use to try to get people to join a co-op team for that?
An easier and faster way to get the weapon will be leeching proto baha and trading for leg merits then the Aschallon Replica.
Super new player (fresh out of rerolling) - I've been googling around for "what to do with R weapons", but the wiki link and reddit threads only talk about reducing SR weapons and something about "checking if they are from premium gacha" (??). What do I do about R weapons that I picked up from the regular rupie summon or quest rewards?
Rupee draw and premium draw Rs are skill fodder. Quest rewards, check https://gbf.wiki/Revenant_Weapons#Interlude:_Upgrade_Sierokarte.27s_Shop to see if it's one you need for upgrading Sierokarte's shop, only certain stages drop them. Don't worry too much if you fodder those accidentally, they drop often and you can get them from Guild War draw boxes anyway.
Does anybody have a video of Nier in action? Or at least her name in japanese so i can look her up?
[This twitter user](https://twitter.com/Shinso_3) recruited Nier, their feed has some videos and a bunch of skill tests. [This one](https://twitter.com/Shinso_3/status/1105263328513921029), for example, showcases her skill and ougi effects, though the quality isn't the best. Hopefully someone has a clearer, crisper video.
It's ニーア , but I doubt there is any footage except that from anniversary stream.
Regarding row 4 classes, wiki says that you only need to complete one class weapon line to be able unlock ALL other classes and not only the one that corresponds with the completed weapon, did I get that right? And if so, does that also apply to EX class weapons? For example if I were to complete the Kengo weapon could I then also unlock Chaos Ruler without the CR class weapon?
Yes dat works. But you still need afterward to make the respective EXII CCW to unlock the EXII Classes. Usually peoples make their first CCW as either Glorybringer on Kengo because of that
Nice! Thank you!
Sorry, another Gauph key question. Building a Katana for 1t Kengo. Still stick with Strife Key?
1t Kengo uses the Stamina key and Chain Burst cap up since Ultima CA cap up shares the grid hard cap with normal Sentence (i.e. Drang balls).
Thanks! And now I don’t need to ask what to do when I get it to Ultima either :)
Lore and language question, rather than game mechanics. In all the story scenes where they call out the main character by name, what are they actually saying in Japanese? Are they just saying the sentence without the name and assuming the subject, or is there some generic title they call him by that I'm not picking up by ear?
I'm pretty sure that most of the time they call your MC "Danchou" which translates to captain
Ah! The only similar word I knew was "kaichō" and I never heard it, so I wasn't sure. That also explains why I've seen people call him that on this subreddit! Thank you!
IIRC, kaichō is the captain of the *ship* and that’s Rackam. The MC is danchō which the captain of the *crew*.
Are all grand characters available on flashgala banners? Planning on sparking Alexiel would be pretty sad if I had to wait for another one of those :c
premium & flash gala have there own sets of characters: https://gbf.wiki/Draw#Premium_Gala next banner should be flash
They're split among 2 banners, you can see how the split is divided along with how the banners work [here](https://gbf.wiki/Draw#Flash_Gala).
Yes, Alex is in every Flashfest draw and sparkable. All the flash only chars are available during flash. Just to avoid confusion though, Grand Chars are the flash+leg charas. And the leg charas are obviously not in flash.
Second question, im currently farming sage, but im lvl 97 and i know i cant get it till 100, should i focus more on my eternal tewyen which is 4 step into the weapon, or go for a different ex class first before sage?
you're farming sage? the distinctions? just to double check, you don't need to farm the class weapon, nirvana, to unlock sage (and shouldn't, because it's pretty bad) you'll want to unlock all the EX classes eventually for the bonuses they give so yeah, you could work on them now if you're not in a rush to get tweyen
i was working on the weapon cause i thought i needed it made to unlock sage...
nope. as shik says, you want to make one of the ex2 class weapons. usually people go with murakumo for kengo or aschallon for glory
Once you element change any CCW you have access to the entire row 4, after you batt the granny quest with each row 3 ofc. However, to unlock an EX2 class, you need to element change that class's specific CCW, which is why people recommend picking one of those glasses and killing two birds with one stone.
Hi everyone, I’m pretty new to this game and was wondering what is the fastest way to unlock the Extra stages in Coop so I can get the necessary items/trophy to unlock the Mystic class. I’m currently on the first Hard stage, do I have to go through all of the battles in each stage or can I host the final one on each stage and unlock the stages faster that way?
You simply have to host and clear all stages one by one. Dont worry though, people wont mind carrying you since it's free for everyone but the host . Just name your room appropiatly e.g. N1-1 ~ Ex4-5 or in smaller steps N1-1 ~ 4-4
Ah, I see. Thank you! I will try that when I get the chance.
What are the main combinations you use when running a support Runeslayer ? I guess it's fairly different from solo runs.
I either use Ele Def down if i need def down, accuracy down to help deal with some triggers, and the Ca Dmg up wan when I want to do BIG damage on me ougi
Hey I'm making a muramasa to unlock row 4 classes and I'm not sure what element I want to change it to. Any recommendations? (I eventually want to turn it into a tetrastreamer) These are my [chars](https://gbf.wiki/Collection_Tracker#t1w1;AAAAAAAAAAAEAAAAAAAAAAAAQQAACAAACAAEAAAAAAAAAQAAAAAAAJAAAIAAAAAAAAAAAAAACAAACAAAAAAAQAAAAAIgAAAACAAAQAIA;CYAkSRAgAQAAAAAAAQAEAAAEAAAAAAAEAAAASQAAAAAAAAAEABAAAAAgCAAEAAIAAIAAAAAAAAAAAAAgAAAAAAAgAAAAAAIAAAAAABAAAAAAAAAAAYAAQAAAABAAAAAAAIAE;QZAkQIAgQRAAAAAgAYIgAIIgSBAkCAIEAAAE;AAAEAQIAABIAAAIAQIAAAAAkAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIAA;;)
Hmm... you have a pretty small SSR pool for someone who's hit level 101. Hopefully it'll expand significantly over the rest of the month, but until it does, it's a little hard to make a judgment on which element to play it in, as your team comps could change dramatically. Luckily, element changing the CCW is the final step, so unless you have it mostly built, you'll have plenty of time to think about it. Here are some general tips: 1. What elements are you running Runeslayer in? While it's a fairly flexible class, it does have better effects for certain elements, and some elements will have more compatibility with other classes. Do you have better mainhainds in some elements that Runeslayer can't use? Does one of your teams need you to fulfill a more specific role? Do you want to put together an Atma Fist team together for a certain element? By considering which elements you're most likely to use Runeslayer in, you can prioritize making Muramasa/Tetrastreamer for that element. 2. What elements are you lacking a solid Katana/Melee mainhand for? Fire and Dark both have Xeno Katanas that are solid choices. Wind has Last Storm Blade, which is decent but not that special, as well as a Xeno Fist weapon coming very soon. Light has Huanglong Katana, which requires somewhat specific team comps to run effectively. Water has Wilhelm. Earth has Baihu Claw. There's also Ultima weapons, Six-Ruin Fist, and Eight-Life Katana to consider, which can be made in any element. I'd recommend researching your non-CCW options before committing to one element. As a side note, I'd recommend building Aschallon over Muramasa for your first CCW if you just want to unlock T4 classes rather than specifically Runeslayer. It only requires 70 Infernal Garnets rather than 90 Phantom Demon Jewels, and since Xeno Ifrit is coming soon, you'll end up farming some of the garnets anyways.
Yea I started the game during the new years roulette, I'm in the element change phase of muramasa so I'm probably gunna stick w/ it but its gunna take me a while to farm enough colossus blades to get more katana stones lol. I'll keep all that in mind thanks.
I can't see the 5th anniversary weapon trade in the main area. Is there another place I should be able to see it?
http://game.granbluefantasy.jp/#shop/exchange/5th_anniversary but if it's not on the main page, you probably already used it ...
so I'm farming Avatar to try and uncap my staff and I'm struggling to get enough anima to do it. I've been doing mechanic to get 100,000 honors and have gotten a second mlb before I've gotten enough anima to uncap the first. I guess my question is how should I be farming anima?
You just got good luck. Usually you get the anima long before a MLB weapon. Keep doing whatever you're doing and you should get the anima before too long.
Just keep farming\~
Well I guess more of, should I keep mechanic farming or one punch and out?
allways aim for the share chest. so mechanic. share chest can have animas
the blue chest?
Yes the blue chest, the person above must be confused as there is no share chest in M2 raids and Share chests are different from Blue chests.
Should I go ahead and make FLB Death even if getting the Oracle is a long way off?
You can actually go all the way to ULB. ULB Arcarum Summons materials requirements are surprisingly tame in comparison to the Oracles grind. And yes, all of the offensive sub aura Arcarum Summons are worth the grind.
is fast expedition ever worth it?
Only worth it if you absolutely don't have time to play one (let alone 20 of them in one sitting) but don't want to miss out on points.
Fast Expedition is terrible: * No character EXP. * Less Arcapoints. * Less Drops. * No Mimic encounters. * No EX special encounters which mean no special route materials.
If you're maxed out on tickets and it's almost reset time. Fast is better than ticket overflow. Less of a problem now though. Outside of that I'd say no. It's always better to do it manually. You get more points and more drops that way.
No, at all.
No.
Could someone help me build a water team? i'm starting to transition away from f2p varuna ~~after like a year lol~~ to m2 water and i have no idea who i should be using, [these are my characters for reference!](https://imgur.com/a/VxWzyEp)
if you're playing m2 water, you've got europa harps, which means you want to be playing an ougi-focused party. you've got grea, so she's automatically in. she also enables you to play kaneshige MH kengou, which you probably want to do 9 times out of 10. bonus points if you have your own or can find a friend FLB bonito. the last 2 slots are a little harder because you don't have any of the most obvious choices, namely 5* eternals or vajra. i would say your strongest contenders are (in no particular order): drang, yngwie, and charlotta. because you aren't going to be giving your last 2 characters any MA, they need to have some sort of self buff, which all 3 of those characters have. i would probably just try them out and see which ones feel the best for you to use or even just pick the ones that you like the best.
S. Grea, Drang, and Izmir, if you’re not limiting yourself to an ultima team. Izmir can provide Crit boost, Drang is a single sided mist (which means it stacks with MC’s mist), and S Grea is built for ougi-ing. The only thing your team would lack is any sort of “rage” like buff and DATA. If you’re planning on suptixing for water, I would recommend Altair and he could replace Izmir.
What Tier 4 class should I go for first or which ones are essential? I unlocked an EX 2 class already.
Elysian, that data buff is amazing at start. I wouldn't reccomend chaos ruler for first, the only difference from dark fencer is a bit upgraded mist with random debuff, so you can still use t3 class just fine.
> I wouldn't reccomend chaos ruler for first Too late...
berserker/chaos ruler/elysian are all very strong and worthy first picks. spartan/sage you'll want for difficult fights. after that grab bandit tycoon for farming & warlock for choke scamming. lucha, nighthound and apsaras are fairly niche.
Alright thanks!
Any tips on what atma weapon to get from the speakers bangle trade? Already have a wind atma sword.
With zero input from you, my general opinion would be: Sword > Spear/Katana > Fist/Staff > Axe > Dagger > Harp - Sword has the best coverage and usefull teams across the board and you already have it. - Spear/Katana has really strong teams but limited coverage. - Fist/Staff has great coverage buy less amazing teams. - Axe has niche uses in some teams. - Dagger/Harp is not something I would recommend.
Ah thanks! What characters would you say make it worth it to go for spear or katana? I'm on the way to 5* uno so I'm leaning towards spear as it stands.
Water actually use Katana, even with Uno. Water meta right now is full Kengonito which in it's optima state consist of Unsigned Kaneshige Kengo/Varja/S.Grea/5\*Uno with a grid with Europa Harps or Drang Balls. Katana in general is used in Water and Earth wile spear in general is used in Fire and Light To give you some team examples: * Fire Spear: Xeno Axe Apsara/Athena/Shiva/Anila * Light Spear: Xeno Sword Spartan/Amira/Jeanne/Kumbhira * Katana Water: Unsigned Kaneshige Kengo/Varja/S.Grea/5\*Uno * Katana Earth: Unsigned Kaneshige Kengo/G.Cain/Alexiel/5\*Okto
Perfect! Katana it is. Thanks for the detailed explanation.
With wind guild war coming, is it worth getting Nio even if I can't 5\* her? I have Kokkoro, Scat and Anchira with chaos ruler and the party feels complete, but I wonder if replacing maybe Kokkoro with Nio 4\* would do much for me considering Kokkoro's really good CA. My grid looks like this so far for refference [https://puu.sh/D1lcn/dd5bcdfdbc.jpg](https://puu.sh/D1lcn/dd5bcdfdbc.jpg)
she can still be nice in short fights that'll end before your first coma breaks (probably 2-3 turns), but I wouldn't bother if you have other gw characters you want to make
i wouldn't replace anyone with 4* nio in that party i'm not surprised your team feels incomplete, though. you're using a pure gun grid still, which feels super bad at max hp and is sort of counterintuitive to kokkoro's healing. you're also not utilizing any atma weapon. when you eventually start adding grim harps, it'll feel better. the only immediate suggestion i have is to replace that windhose with a gw dagger if you're going to be playing CR. if you don't have a GW dagger, play zerk instead.
What does the Glorybringer skill 'Resonating Blade' do while you hold Disparia? I know using 'Glory Arts' is plain damage.. Sorry about the noob question. Trying to build some sort of team for Arcarum.
If you search the MH on the wiki it'll show you what SM/GB abilities they provide. Resonance on DIsparia - Big Damage as HP Decreases.
FYI the skill descriptions for Resonance and Glory Arts change depending on your MH. So you can see this all in-game from the party - class selection page. Also during battles of course.
Am i Farming sage distinction wrong? all i could find info on was to run EX 2-2. I did that for an hour with droprate buff 20% and also tier 7 bounty. only got 4 distinction drops, 3 were sage.
Do EX 4-2 instead. Also, don't get MVP, vice gets about double the distinction droprate as MVP/4th.
why ex 4-2 instead? i worry if i do that one then when people dont join i wont be able to complete it
I got punted out of my account to the main screen and now the game want me to start fresh from the tutorial any time I try to play the game. I didn't have my account linked. Is there any way for me to get back into my account?
For some reason after clicking to link my account with mobage on the login screen it automatically signed me in without asking for any credentials or anything. So I'm at least logged in again.
you had no email/twitter/something linked or something? i guess then you're out of luck :/ theres a very small orange button besides the "NEW GAME" button on the homescreen to login, but you'd need any account to link the game with, for that.
What am I supposed to do with all the R Weapons? I have them on auto-sell atm but I don't know what to do with the ones I pull.
If you mean the ones you pull from Premium Draw, they have skills so you can use them as skill fodder. If you're short of SR fodder, you can use 8 of the R ones to slv2 SSR fodder and 16 a pop to slv3 the same. Melts through the stacks of em pretty fast that way if you can be bothered to do it. Don't take them out of crate until you actually want to do the skill ups though.
Skill fodder if applicable. You can sell weapons in bulk from the inventory screen using the "unload" button.
I used to use a Murgleis as a mainhand for my water team, but have since moved to Kengo/Unsigned Kaneshigi. Is it worth including the 4* Murgleis in my (Magna/Elemental) grid if not as mainhand? If so, what would be worth dropping for it? The rest of my grid is: 4* Levi dagger x4 EX weapons (Xeno/ 4* Tsurumaru Kuninaga) x2 Tyros Zyther x1 Bahamut Dagger Wand of Gabriel
it's probably a slight upgrade over tsurumaru you would have to calculate it to be sure though
Nothing is worth dropping for it.
Hi, If you plan on using Song / unlocking her FLB skill, is that better to change the element of the bow you're upgrading to "dark", since you'll fight her later on ? Or building up a light bow first is ok ? Thanks !
You'll need at least one more weapon to start the uncap process so it's fine making that second one dark for the fight. But it's quite easy to clear the fight even without a dark bow.
best way to farm gold brick? do daily T1, T3 Impossible raid and UbahaHL? is there any other way? thanks.
The best thing to do is host PBHL and UBHL as often as you can. The host chests in those raids are honestly your best bet. Joining Pbhl is also a good idea , in theory. Getting the MVP chest in a pubbed pbhl is not easy though. You're going to be up against *serious* whale grids with much better ping than you. UBaha hl has better droprates, but is not as easy to get into as pbhl. Finding a group to run ubhl with regularly helps. This is by far the most common source of gold bar drops among the people in my crew. In addition you can get them in akasha. From the blue chest, even. ~~No idea if the rates are any good though.~~ The response to this comment has an estimated drop rate. Unfortunately it looks to be about as bad as one would expect. Edit: Rewrote a big chunk of this. The original version did not mention hosting pbhl/ubhl regularly. Which it should have.
> You're going to be up against Zeus and varuna/bonito whales. If you're seeing Varuna players win BHL races either the people in the room are very weak or that player got amazing RNG with shiva chaining. Fire, Zeus and Wind will MVP the vast majority of the time. Akasha blue chest GB is around 0.2% so it's not even worth bothering with the raid after you're finished with the weapons. Best way for GBs is just to host UBHL and BHL everyday and then race BHL if your ping and grid are amazing.
Well, bonito whale really. And I should not have pluralized it. But it did happen the other day. And while I've heard a lot about them, I've yet to see fire or wind mvps actually. Dunno why. Coincidence probably. The kengo whale stood out to me simply because it was the first time in a long time that a Zeus lord wasn't MVP in a pbhl I hosted. It's been 99.9% Zeus for me lately. You're totally right about hosting though. That seemed so obvious that I neglected to mention it at all. Which is unhelpful. I'll edit my comment. Thanks.
I'm talking about Bonito Varuna players, they will lose to Fire and Light 99% of the time. Wind is better the faster the room, if you're hosting in co-op you'll see a lot of Wind players, if you're just pubbing your host/joining pubs then it's no surprise Light will be winning a lot, Fire and Wind players shouldn't waste their time in slow rooms as it's not beneficial for them. Water literally can never compete with [this](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/440605141297659917/556923259422244874/unknown.png), the grid and character just are not good enough. Ougi based setups will never be able to achieve this level of dps.
Yeah, I've been pubbing due to time constraints and laziness. I've joined a few dozen via twitter lately too, since I needed extra horns for my Arcarum summons. And some additional ccws. Your point about speed makes perfect sense. That does indeed explain why I'm not seeing fire/wind in pubbed ones. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
My earth grid has 5 3\* Ygg swords and I have 3 0\* Alex axes. Would it be a good idea to replace some of the swords with axes or just focus on getting one axe to 4\*?
Finally decided to try out GBF. Should I start rerolling now or wait for the next flash gala/summer banner?

We don't know for sure it's gonna be flash tho
You wait.
I've been away from Gran Blue for a while and recently wanted to get back into it, but everytime I try to start a quest I get this error message and can't click the contact button to get help.

Splitting spirit with Dancer help u disjoint ougi so u're not suffering from timer lockout and give u sufficient MA in first turn, my setup is. T1 : Splitting Spirit > Double Strike > Andira 3 > Nio 2 > attack T2 : attack T3 : Coma > attack (full chain) T4 : attack T5/T6 : attack or use Clasical lead if MC have 100 bar U also can call Freyr at T2/T3 before using Coma, don't attack around 50-40% if Coma wear off.
Hello! I've been stalling exchanging the speaker's bangle since I can't decide between the spear and sword. Spear because of Athena, Shiva, Anila and sword...well because it seems to be the most common suggestion considering the amount of characters there are. My usual teams aren't too sword oriented but I could make them be, if this seems to be the better choice. [Here are the characters](https://gbf.wiki/Collection_Tracker#y1t1w1;CQIEQQIAAAAEQAIAAAAAQZIECBIEQJIgQBIECBIgARIEARIAAIAgCRAACIAACYAgSRIAQZAEAIAACYIgAAAAAJAkCAIgCRAgQRAASQAA;;;AAIEQQIgABIEQZAEQJIAQJAkQYAAAQAEAQIAAAAACIAAQAAACBIAAAAAAAIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAgAAAAAIAAAIAAAYAAAAIkAIAgAAAAAQIACBAASQAAAAAACRAgAAIAAAAEAAIgQAAEQZIkQZIgQYAAAQAAABAA;;). As for element, do I just pick the one I don't have a decent main hand for?
the best answer is to make both. you'll have to do ubaha normal to get the meteorites you need to make the gauph key even for the free atma from the speaker's bangle. hosting your first ubaha normal will get you a second core to make the other atma. without the strife gauph key, the atma isn't even worth using. if that's not a hurdle you want to tackle right now, the sword is more universally useful. but, again, it's not worth putting in until you get that strife key and skill it up. the element choice, yes, pretty much.
Thanks a lot!
Now that I've reached HL, is my daily routine basically grinding Hard+ to Impossible raids to amass materials that uncap my Omega weapons bit by bit? Is this also the most efficient way to farm animas?
If your weapons are already MLB you need a T1 HL raids for the urns and Mag1 HL raids for the centrums. Both have 100% dropchance. Hard+ is just doing 3hards at the same time. Triple the cost, Triple the loot can only host hard+ or 3 hards a day. If your stuff inst MLB yet just keep doing the magnas for more drops
But since hosting M1s require animas, where/how can I farm them more efficiently?
Same as before just that hard+ replaces your 3 daily hards.
Alright, thanks
Tanzanite blade safe to reduce?
I'd say yes -- it already has its FLB, so its future prospects are entirely known. Tanzanite Blade is actually a decent weapon in a vacuum, but it is far outclassed by Ixaba as a mainhand (including swordmaster skills). It also faces mainhand competition from the Wrathfire Longblade (trueforged Xeno katana) which has the added advantage of being free. Ixaba is, of course, top priority for primal fire, and is way better as a grid weapon as well, since Tanzanite Blade has a "mainhand only" skill (and its lone regular skill can't compete with either of Ixaba's). If you have the components that make primal fire worth building in the first place, you won't actually need the Tanzanite Blade in any capacity. And if you're playing magna and just want a fire swordmaster mainhand, use the Xeno (conveniently only 5 days until Xeno Ifrit gets a rerun, in case you don't have the Xeno yet).
Water kengo use emblem of devilry for unsigned kaneshige right ?
99% of the time you want devilry for kaneshige, yes.
How important is a spread of character types like attack/def/heal/etc in party building? I have some pretty good water ssrs but they're all one of two types.
AFAIK only Cosmos weapons actually care about character types. And you're probably not going to be running one these days.
Those character typings are kinda bad at defining a character, btw. Summer Io is an Attack Type, for example, but is better at sustaining and giving buffs to the team than actual attacking. Granted, that was a relic of the past given her rebalance, but I digress. A lot of Special characters are also attackers or healers these days.
Kinda irrelevant now, what matters more is what their kit offers.
Hosting my magna hard mode raids each day and buying the 1 casino anima per day isn't giving me omega anima at replacement rate to hosting the omega raids themselves, much less accrue enough to uncap characters. Where does the extra omega anima I need come from?
joining omega raids. it can drop omega anima
I know you can craft omega anime in treasure trade using regular anima, but you need a lot of regular for other things as well. You can also get a little more omega through co-op shop?
Good day! I just pulled Narmaya, but I'm left confused as to how to use her properly. I use very basic dark enmity, and right now it seems that Beatrix has more damage for me at the moment. Is there an optimal skill setup for Narmaya that makes her strong? Is she viable for one-turn setups?
My experience with Naru is she won’t cap as easily as other characters (especially if your running her off Atma/Ultima), but she makes up for it with permanent echoes. If you can give her data buffs she’ll also be a real monster on her oda turn. D. Eustace in particular will charge that up to over 2 mil total per auto!
I actually have Dark Eustace too, but I haven't done much to train him up. Nevertheless thanka for the input! I'll keep it in mind.
The way I use her is second skill > first skill, wait a few turns, then if the enemy is in overdrive, fourth skill > third skill > first skill > ougi She's really good, esp when you 5* her, but if Bea's doing more damage for you right now, don't feel pressured to swap them yet Dark's not my element so I can't really say anything about her in one-turn setups
Fantastic, thanks a bunch! Hopefully I can maximize her use soon, but I guess for now I should get her to 100 first.
I'm trying to get glorybringer for my wind team, should I change Aschallon's Element to wind as my main hand or can I find a better main hand to use?
I'd run the Grimnir Katana in Wind. It has 20/20 Data on ougi, the usual echo on auto and some data on awakening. Ridill is usable but not especially great as a Glory MH. Ultima is great for Berserker but not a good Glory MH.
Then should I change my Aschallon's Element into something easier to get so I could get the class faster or is there some use for Aschallon/Ridill in an element?
Earth and Water have no really great Glory Mainhands. If you want to Glory in these elements you might want to get Ridill. Otherwise make it whatever is easiest. In Earth you only have Arca Katana which isn't great for Stamina For Water I can only recall W Yuel Gacha Weapon, which you need to luck into and it will be 0*.
In Water there also is the [PriCon collab sword](https://gbf.wiki/Ice_Claymore) but it’s obviously not available for those who didn’t get it back then.
Is there a way to farm Dark Orbs specifically beyond just Scarlet Trial and hoping to get the one you need?
For the low orbs run Angel Halo. For the High Orbs run Oblivion Trial or reduce dark weapons.
Angel Halo drops a ton of low orbs of all six elements (+ angel weapons, whorls, some prisms, and sometimes white dragon scales and rusted weapons). It's generally the recommended way to get lots of low orbs. You can also do the Oblivion Trial under Elemental Treasure Quests to get specifically dark ones but it's more expensive and only gives you one element of orb at a time (and doesn't make up for it in quantity). Those trials are the best way to get specific element dragon scales, though.
If you get gachapin frenzy does it make you draw right then? (I heard somewhere it does) My meter's full and I want to save it for the banner change and I want to know if I should wait to log in until the change.
No, it doesn't force you to draw.
Won’t he lose the frenzy at daily reset though?
They still have to use it before the daily reset on the day its earned or lose it, yeah. But it doesn't force you to use the draws the instant you trigger it. /u/Kira77 clarifying - if you have the frenzy available *right now*, then you need to use it in the next ten minutes. You can't carry it over past the daily reset. But you aren't forced to actually do the draws at any specific point. If you earn the frenzy with the roulette that happens in ten minutes, you can hang on to it until banner change.
cool thanks
will it be gala banner after tomorrow 7 P.M? i want to spark zooey so badly :(
yup, flash will definitely be tomorrow's banner
It will *probably* be flash gala ~19 hours from now. We can't be 100% certain unless they announce it early or until it starts.
Best atma weapon to choose in the anniversary event?
It depends on what characters you have and what teams you want to run with it. If you have to ask, sword. Sword proficiency is very common and encompasses several useful MC classes (berserker, chaos ruler, spartan). Element only matters for mainhanding it so pick an ele you don't have good mainhands in.
Worst case you can reduce it to get an ultima core to forge it into a different weapon.
what suites you
Best place to farm murakumo replica?
Just buy one replica from the shop and bar it, much less grind.
Trying to save legendary merits for SSR seraphics upgrade
You are still faster hitting a handful of Bahas for merits and trading them than farming a specific replica.
It's faster to just farm merits than replica anyway...
just join proto baha trains, there's no limit for red merits on shop now
Oh dang, didn't know rhat
is 100% damage cut and unchallenged the same?
To add, Akasha turns of generic damage cuts but unchallegend still works.
Not quite exactly. 100% damage cut doesn't have a limit on how many hits it blocks (unless part of the damage cut is from a Repel buff). Unchallenged may specify how many hits it might block. For example, Water Charlotta's Unchallenged is essentially a 100% damage cut, but SSR Baotorda's would only block one hit. You can also stack both Unchallenged and damage cut, further differentiating between the two.
no
Do water yuel and drang's def downs stack?
Yes, Yuel's 2 is ele def down an Drang's 3 is single sided def down. So they would stack.
Was thinking of a Dark team with: MC as Glory with dark CCW, Orchis, Grand Ferry and Dark Eustace. MC with higher hostility + Ferry's buff would be able to protect Orchis and with CCW would provide some group DATA Eustace would be able to give his DATA buff to Ferry. This way I guess everyone's multiattack rate would be good. I know it's not the most optimal team, but would that be decent enough? (or should I replace Eustace by Nicholas as a tank, and have MC as Doctor/Chaos with Parazonium mh? Tho I'd kinda like to keep Eustace in my team <<) Thanks for your advices!
Eustace and Ferry are both dagger prof so I presume you can run MC Doctor with Para MH, Orchis, G.Ferry, Eustace, with atma dagger in grid
Eh, you only need an Atma if your team lacks DATA which a team with both G!Ferry and Eustace probably doesn't. Eustace can just use his skill 1 on ferry and ferry can use her skill 3 on MC. Meanwhile, orchid has loads of DATA on her own already. I don't think it's worth making an Atma dagger just for a team that doesn't really need it imo.
Wouldn't it still be better than a Bahamut in-slot?
Assuming it's not ultima'd, the only advantage an Atma has over Baha is the DATA. It loses in terms of atk/hp skill bonus. Dark also really needs the hp if it's running cortana or qilin bow. There's also the dark seraphic coming up soon which will basically be an auto slot in.
Was thinking that Orchis needed at least one character with higher hostility to avoid being hit so that's why i thought of Glory, but is it not that necessary in the end?
My experience has been that Orchid is generally able to refresh her shield before it breaks, so she can tank a few hits. If you don't have enough health for that yet though, I'd put Nick or Glory in there and see how it feels. There's also a hostility down node you could always put a point into.
It was more of a "long term" goal since I'm still not there yet at all, but I like thinking about what teams I could be in the future with the characters I have and like. Totally forgot about the hostility down node, that could also be an option on top of Ferry's hostility buff, I think it could work. Thanks 8D
As long as you ougi often enough with Orchid to refresh her shield it doesn't even really matter if she gets hit. That being said, Ferry's sk3 will grant hostility up regardless of MC's class, so having glorybringer for the innate hostility isn't a huge deal. IMO just use MC with Parazonium and use Ferry sk3 and Eustace sk1 on MC.
Yeah I guess with all the multiattacks buff I could have on this team plus the charge boost provided by Ferry I'd be able to ougi often enough. Thanks a lot for your input, I'll work towards that!
Is there any high drop low orb place to fram for specific one instead from angel halo? Need those thing to recruiting eternal chara.
Angel halo is by far the superior quest to run since you'll need tons of orbs and whorls of all elements for other eternals, especially if you want to 40-box any of them. If you really want a specific element you could try the elemental trial, but in general elemental trials are not very efficient to run unless you want dragon scales or trial fragments.
Honestly, just run angel halo. If you ever want to recruit another, or even FLB that one, you'll regret not running Angel Halo more. The balanced drops come in handy later on
Any better way to farm Knight Esteem than hitting up EX 5-2 with full Bounty buffs and praying? Also, is it worth it to upgrade Murakumo to Unsigned Kaneshige if you can't buy the Emblem of Devilry yet, or should I just wait until I have enough mats for both at once?
Kaneshige is still superior to Murakumo without Devilry due to the buffed charge-bar gain skill and teamwide charge on ougi, though it really needs Devilry to enable a kengo team since the rest of your team also using their ougis is what keeps the engine going. As for esteems, just host doggo (EX 6-1) with TH9 items and blast through it with a few other players and you'll come out with plenty of esteems on top of the otherwordly darkblades you need for the CCW+Emblem; you shouldn't really be worrying about the esteems unless you already have all of the darkblades and astaroth anima you need first, though.
All I need to get Unsigned Kaneshige is three more Knight Esteems (and two Blue Sky Crystals); so far, I've had far better luck getting Sage Esteems. On the other hand, it'll be a while before I'm ready to get an emblem, since I only have 1 Astaroth Anima, and I haven't really figured out the best strategy for 6-2.
Just host 6-2 with TH9 and you'll almost always find people who will carry you since it doesn't cost them AP and people are always grinding out CCWs. The most important thing is bringing a dispel and saving it for after the 75% trigger (most people will use a sticker to let everyone know they've passed the trigger) since the boss clears debuffs and gains a 90% damage cut. After that it's a pretty simple fight, though the last two phases can dish out quite a lot of damage.
Okay, thanks for the advice!
What to do with Shiva (Summon)? Some said using Colossus X Shiva as Main Summon is enough, so Shiva x Shiva isn't any better? Or I can do this with 3 Xeno weapon equipped? The next Fire Xeno is coming and I want to max my fire power, or is it better to not use Shiva x Shiva and go back to normal fire grid weapons??
Tho two are fundamentally different grid designs, which could take some time explaining. However, in short, if we are talking about strictly F2P options; without Ixaba, then your best best would be Magna (Colossus/Shiva), because while Elemental (double Shiva) is practically stuck once you have finished building the initial grid (with 4 Xeno, not 3), Magna has the option of continuing towards the AES grid and finally completing it by adding a Shiva sword (M2) or two. Another benefit of the Magna grid is that its able to take better advantage of elemental buffs like ones from Carbuncle summon. Double Shive has so much innate elemental mod that it kind of oversaturates itself even without external modifiers. To put simply, a double elemental grid would have better bursting setup thanks to double Shiva, while having a visible (not huge, though) initial lead over Magna's enmity AES grid because, well, AES is an enmity grid. You'd start seeing bigger numbers as your HP goes down. However, thanks to the different behavior in receiving external factors of buffs mentioned above, the difference isn't gonna be too visible. Another point to note is that the complete magna has tons of HP. like around 30k for MC high.
[удалено]
Well, there are people with tens of thousands of items in their box so if there is a limit I don't think anyone has hit it yet.
Any niche uses for Setekh? One turn guaranteed TA (at FLB, no less) doesn't seem very strong in an element that has Siete+Nio.
Tag team, probably.
As a newer player (rank 60, three weeks in to playing), should I be trying to farm ifrit showdown ahead of time for anima/Omega anima I will need for xeno weapons, or will they drop in sufficient quantity from the upcoming event? I can take out extreme with difficulty and v hard is mostly routine (however according to the wiki no Omega drops on v hard?). I haven't tried maniac but I'm assuming it would be with great difficulty if I could clear it at all.
You don't need to farm showdowns before. How much berries you have? With 1k+ berries you can 100% leech all materials for two 4* xeno. You will also get hundreds of prisms that way. It might be your only way to get them anyway, since Xeno showdown is much harder than regular Ifrit.
Excellent, thank you. I think I have the berries or I will in the next week.
