Posts from Granblue fantasy

I've wanted to create a thread like this for a while now, and here it is.

I’m seriously hooked on the game; collecting characters and making progress are enjoyable. The combat... well, it's standard JRPG fare, nothing unusual, although after playing for some time, I see some interesting features that aren't immediately obvious.
The game is purely PvE + co-op (raids). You can play from any device with an internet connection.

Now, a little about my achievements and stats. I created this thread just to brag!



Rank 95, but all the gameplay features are unlocked at rank 101, as far as I know. So, not quite there yet. But I'm working on it.

My best team looks like this:








This team focuses on Light element. It started with Albert and Dela Fia, my first gold followers, and they were pretty effective right away. Although now they’re less so than before; even Albert has been relegated to reserve. But they were perfect for getting started.

I want to talk about some of the most interesting characters I have now...
Light Vira – she's a super tank, absorbing all damage, including area attacks, which is great in this game.
Amira – thanks to her, the whole party attacks more often and charges their ultimate abilities faster. She's also underage and somewhat annoying.
Dela Fia – regeneration rules, because it also charges her ultimate ability.
Albert – he waits his turn to unleash massive damage, and physically can't attack fewer than two times per turn.
Io – doesn't seem very interesting. Except that her activated skill deals damage based on the enemy's weakness, not necessarily just Light element.
Jeanne d'Arc – there's a dark gold version and a light silver version. Both are good in principle, although the dark one is more interesting – she has invulnerability! In battle, she stays at 1 HP and attacks with increased damage due to her skills and bonus from low health.
New Year Rosetta – a good dark healer.
Orchid, Dark Vira (two of them), Dark Zeta… Theoretically, Azazel is decent in combat, but he’s too irritating as a character. Even on Valentine's Day, I give him chocolate, and he starts saying something like "AHAHAHAHAA, BLOOD CHOCOLATE, AHAHAHAHAH, I WILL DESTROY IT, MWUAH!", this is exactly what I mean when I say they are clinically insane. Even Kosha would disown him.
Naosa (Light and Fire, both Silver) – a cool shield-wielding guy.
Sakura, who is Cardcaptor – it's unclear how to use her, but she's cute...
Goblin Mage! Back when I didn't have any gold followers in my air team, I had her in the group and loved her.
Mirin is also extremely cute, but unfortunately no longer usable.
Mikasa and Levi – that's why I started watching Attack on Titan.
But generally, the air team relies on Lenna, who is one of the best healers in the game, as well as Yuisis, who can tank and deal damage, although she’s difficult to handle. Fina, Arietta, Gawain, Corva are also noteworthy.
The Earth element is weak; only Caliostro (an ancient alchemist pervert living in the body of a young girl) and Alethea (an old wizard) are gold.
Gold Catalina – a fairly balanced character, helping both in defense and attack.
Gold Yodarha – a dwarf with a mustache, master of martial arts and fishing, overall an excellent guy. Deals incredible damage; at first, I didn't believe it when I saw the numbers.
Gold Societte – good at healing and debuffing.
Gold Water Yoel – very helpful in multi-attacks and additional damage.
Ippatsu. Doesn't matter that he's bronze, he's awesome. As I said, I prioritized correctly: noodles first, then war.
Zoe – silver, but not doing well with my golds. This silver one is worth its weight in gold, both mechanically and aesthetically, she's really good.
Gandagoza. The link leads to something not for the faint of heart, I warned you. But this fire elementalist is pretty good mechanically; he attracts enemies, dodges attacks, and counterattacks.

Overall stats of characters:
Total
169 (some may be duplicates in different versions)
Darkness
5 Bronze, 10 Silver, 6 Gold
8 male, 13 female
Light
5 Bronze, 8 Silver, 9 Gold
8 male, 14 female
Air
10 Bronze, 19 Silver, 7 Gold
15 male, 21 female
Earth
10 Bronze, 14 Silver, 2 Gold
11 male, 15 female
Water
7 Bronze, 18 Silver, 4 Gold
12 male, 18 female (there’s one case where two characters are in one slot, like brother and sister)
Fire
14 Bronze, 19 Silver, 1 Gold
11 male, 23 female
Universal
1 Silver, female – Lyria. Can become any element. But not really great in any element.

That's it! I'm not sure if anyone will be interested, but if so, thanks for reading!

You don't know me very well, Ment.

These spammers are at it again; they’ve even learned to disguise themselves as moderators.

Hey, you can have multiple threads in the forum, but I can’t have one for my “hobby”?

*stuck in the Granblue Wiki and admiring the male characters*
Although... As far as I understand, they drop randomly, right?

Yes. Well, you can basically collect all or almost all of the bronze characters, the chance is quite high. Silver is more difficult. There are characters from the main quest, you get them just like that. There are characters that you can 100% get from Side Story. It's a bit more difficult, but overall it's easy. There are event characters – you need to get them during the event. This applies to Mikasa and Levao, for example, from my list, but there are many of them in general, each event – at least one new character. Well, and otherwise, yes, it's random... Silver drops regularly in Gatcha, but which one – you can't control. Gold is not very easy to get, as you can see from my statistics. But it's possible. In this regard, it's like legendary characters in Heroes of Might and Magic. In principle, you can get a character of your choice – but for this you need to save a lot of crystals. I'm saving up now, but for a new player it would be excruciating.

Basically, you can’t get Azazel without a good dose of something strong. Got it. Understood. I’m going to go cry now.

Jin, Rackam, Vane, Lancelot. These are the characters that you are guaranteed to get (from those that you might like, in my opinion).

Just wrap this one, no need for the rest.

I somehow knew it...

Is that enough, Kosh? Just curious.
Updating the stats for this guy.

He's cute, but in my opinion, they went a bit overboard with the femininity of the design. Fewer frills and a simpler face would have been better.

Amira – thanks to her, the whole party attacks a lot and quickly charges their ultimate ability. And she is also underage and somewhat annoying.

Not “somewhat,” but very much so. She is hardly the worst character in the setting, after Cerberus. And the desire to add fanservice with a five-year-old dummy (literally) in the body of an adult woman makes it even worse. Not to mention the attempts to portray Favaro’s pedophilic tendencies as something romantic, rather than creepy. However, this is almost the case with all the pairings in the series. Kaiser and Rita don’t formally have a relationship, but there are obvious hints of a ship. And in the second season, Azazel was given a twenty-year-old angel. Apparently, to make the relationship between a thirty-year-old fascist (Charios) and a sixteen-year-old country bumpkin (Nina) seem less creepy in comparison.

but she is too annoying as a character. Even with Valentine – I give him chocolate, and he starts something like “AHAAHAHAHAA, BLOODY CHOCOLATE, AHAAHAHAHAH, I WILL DESTROY IT, MWUHAHAH!”, I say about such people that they are clinically idiotic. Even Kosha would disown him.

First, it’s not “bloody,” but “damn.” Second, Azazel is such a moron because he is based on his anime incarnation. And there, he is an incoherent being whose motivations and character change at the whim of the writers’ left foot. In the first season, he is a chaotically evil guy for whom other demons are just trash and a bargaining chip, and who kills people just for fun. In the second, he is an anti-hero who cares about every little demon and doesn’t like to kill innocent people. However, everyone suffers from a lack of motivation. And Azazel got off easy compared to Jeanne. The creators of the series hate her with all their might.

Golden Societte

I’m not sure if her name should be transcribed exactly like that.

As I said, he prioritized correctly – first noodles, then war.

First noodles, and then character. Although, instead of character, it’s also noodles.

Not to mention the attempts to portray the relationship between Fava and the pedophile as something romantic, rather than creepy. However, this is almost the case with all the pairings in the series. Kaiser and Rita don't have a formal relationship, but there are strong hints of a potential pairing. And in the second season, Azazel was given a twenty-year-old angel. Apparently, this was done to make the relationship between the thirty-year-old fascist (Charios) and the sixteen-year-old village girl (Nina) seem less creepy in comparison.

Wow, it makes me want to play it (not really). How is it that those who fight for banning everything haven't reached this terrible game yet? It's amazing. I guess only the Japanese and the "Cops" play it.

In the second season, Azazel was given a ride by a twenty-year-old angel.

At least, what is its gender?
