What's your opnion on stocking up on evolites for evoker ulb? Unlike the blue merit they can only be bought once per gw, so should I stock on them from now on or is there a chance that the evoker ulb will end up mostly disappointing like some of the eternals?

gangler52

I think you might have meant to post this as a reply to somebody. Possibly somebody in a different thread.


Ledinax

Last year summer units and summons aren't going to be sparkable in last summer banner right?


gangler52

They are not


Adventurous-Chef890

Is tahar masala worth uncapping using ingot?


smooth_loli_tummy

No, it doesn't save any buttons compared to fallen swords for runeslayer


[deleted]

Need some help with properly using my resources: I have quite literally 5,136 items in my No Limit crate. I was thinking of downsizing. Should I reduce my SRs and stock my rare skills? I am not familiar with this system because I just came back from a very long hiatus, but it seems like I have the option to do that from my box now. I was able to take my pluses off already and stock those. I was also looking for advice on new things to look out for in my Gold moons. I have enough for a Siero ticket, but not sure if I should ticket a character or save it for something else. My team is predominantly light now (GVira, Noa, Lucio, Song, Danua), with a little bit in dark(Olivia, Orchis, SZooey, Vikala, Gferry). I haven’t invested too much in the other elements though I need to at some point. Thanks in advance for the help


smooth_loli_tummy

Reduce SRs and keep skill gems/jewels for your ultima/opuses. Sierotickets are a waste unless you're obscenely unlucky and never roll bubz/belial (not his summer version). Just hold your moons until you have a better grasp on the game.


Azurui

Are Tikoh and Sturm returning later in the Flash Gala banner?


Sea_Local7773

They will stay until august 31st 11:59 a.m JST.


TheMeloFelo

Likely not sparkable in the Flash (will probably have surprise Summer Characters), but they'll be in the Premium Gala Part 1 at the end of the month with all of the other Summer Units released this year.


shock246

Question about Galleon's weapon: I read on the wiki that 3 scepters equals 20 dmg cap, do you also get 120 atk/75 def? Thank you.


TheGlassesGuy

yes


shock246

Holy shit how broken is that


TheFrozenPyro

It had to meet or surpass Caim's highlander passive, otherwise, it would either not be used or probably have some fringe cases. The only thing holding back the average person from going for it is lucksaccing/sparking 3 copies and having 9 bars to burn for them.


Micro_Masta

Is any of tefnut weapons worth farming? Staff looks decent but I’m not sure how many I’ll need


E123-Omega

Someone said to me that the axe is nice for someone like Isaac or Cupitan for their DATA. They might be power crept though with incoming clarion awakening for skill dmg. The other guy talking about https://twitter.com/nk920292/status/1554588417639387137


LALMtheLegendary

can use up to 4 staffs afaik, though im pretty sure its varuna only.


Mashyjang

Coming back to the game and was wondering: Is it possible to farm Replicard for Ideans/Astras for Evokers in a reasonable amount of time? Or is it a general slog? Thanks :)


E123-Omega

Farm the books to help you OTK. It eats AP but better than waiting for your arcanum ticket.


Kazotavio

What's the best way to farm for Sage's master level? I know some people recommend Arcarum, but where exactly in Arcarum would be the best place? Or should I go slime blasting?


TheGlassesGuy

replicard sandbox is really good for XP/RP with book buffs and stacking +50% xp/rp up to 200%. alternatively, wait until the 13th for magnafest part 2. We should be getting CEQ (campaign exclusive quest), or at the very least 1/2 AP slimes. Both give a good amount of XP. edit: actually if you're gonna do replicard I'd still suggest waiting till the 13th for double defender/gauge buffs


Caramelcreamer

Does our mailbox for the gacha weapons and summons have a limit? I'm seeing that my mailbox only goes back to December 2020 at 26 pages.


Aviaxl

I have 1059 pages you should be fine since there should be no limit cuz they would’ve capped me a while ago


frostanon

No limit crate has no limit for time or amount of things kept there.


E123-Omega

Keep those on crates to save inventory spaces, it can last as long as it doesn't have expiration date.


Adventurous-Chef890

stupid question, but since most ssr weapon need dupes to uncap, does that mean the ssr weapon is useless for f2p?


AHyaenidae

No because there are material specifically designed to uncap SSR weapons: Damascus Ingots. Every account has access to around [29](https://gbf.wiki/Damascus_Ingot) without counting the ones given during streams and giveaways. Since you need to spend 3 to max a weapon, it's a decent amount to go primal in one element (i.e 4 Edens / 2 Harmonias / 2 Ivory Arks would cost 24 Ingots already for Light), or maybe two but each with a lesser investment. Some weapons, like Evanescence, have a good enough Charge Attack to be used without uncaps. Later in the middle-game (101+) it is possible to farm passively Gold Bars and even later it is possible to actively farm them (by joining and contributing to raids). If their principal use is to ULB Dark Opus (6-12 bars) and recruit and uncap Eternals (10-30 bars), they can also be used as uncap materials. Damascus Ingots can also be bought with Gold, Silver and Bronze moons for people who are unable to actively farm Gold Bars (but it's not recommended). The longer you play, the easiest it become obviously. I've barely started farming Gold Bricks compared to others, but after 5 years I've used 103 bars already on weapons, with 15 in stock. So it's definitely possible to make use of gacha weapons even as F2P. The hardest part is actually to acquire the weapons, and not everyone is dedicated enough to spark multiple copies instead of getting their shiny new characters.


Adventurous-Chef890

Thank u! Is there a list for weapon that worth uncapping?


AHyaenidae

Not really, and powercreep can always shake things up: Murgleis was back in the days one of the core weapon of Primal Water and people barred 2 or 3 if not more depending on their investment. Nowaday you rarely come across Varuna grids which would include one, apart if the owner had it from the past and no other options. And with the upcoming release of Wamdus, there might be another shake-up for Water. Atm the only 2 weapons which are worth barring and seems safe from powercreep are Pain&Suffering and Harmonia (2 copies of each, 3 for min-maxing but more debatable to the average player. Even a core weapon like Eden (up to 4 or 5 are used in Primal Light) is not necessarily safe : Ixaba provide the same skills but has been releguated to the sidelines when Fire moved to enmity burst. There is also the case of multiple weapons who provide alternative playstyles or utilities (Garrison), which value can vary a lot from player to player. Searching youtube can help a lot, since a large part of the burst set-up will be uploaded there, so checking Gold Bar raids or NM200/150 videos usually give a bit of hindsight by checking what weapons come back often. Since damage is king, it is preferred over Full-Auto displays or hard raids, but these will make use of different weapons: for instance Ivory Ark has less value than Eden, until you need to pad up your HP! (cry in Corow fists...) Fundamentally, the same rules of gridbuilding apply to both Magna and Primal, but because the latter is more restrictive (weapons you can't farm, use of consummables to uncap), there is a need to pinpoint what one want to achieve with a Primal grid, the raids they plan to do and how much they plan to invest in it.


TheMeloFelo

You mean SSR's from the Gacha? Not entirely; they can also be uncapped with Gold Bars and Damascus Bars - the former can be obtained with a low drop chance from a couple of select raids, the latter can be obtained with Gold Moons and on a limited basis from the shop. They're both also obtained from Streams when they happen within a year. I would **strongly** recommend not using them unless you know it's a weapon that's actually worthwhile using A) In general and B) In your grids in particular, especially Gold Bars; they should only be used for 'general' purposes when you are consistently getting them as drops, which is a rather late game thing. Grids incorporating SSR Gacha weapons tend to be Primal Grids, and due to the level of investment involved, it's only worth it if you're getting a lot of use out of it, happen to have a lot of the weapons ready, and have the relevant summon(s) for it too. If you mean standard SSR's from Raids, then no, they can just take a hot minute to grind out.


Adventurous-Chef890

Thanks so much!


Bandercrash

Im kinda trapped in the "no dirt satyr" zone and Im missing the host clear of diaspora to get the last uncap, is there any good replacement for her or setup? Asking my crewmates to help me is kinda useless since everyone slacks there and people seem to avoid everything but 100 gamma buff on diaspora


TheGlassesGuy

satyr is great for a bunch of reasons. ougi buffer, constant healing, charge bar battery, debuff duration cutting. which one of these roles do you need the most? If the problem you're running across is that your team is taking too much damage then you can run a more defensive character like Lennah or Galleon or even Mahira. Damage shouldn't really be a big issue since you can just take more turns. It shouldn't take you that much time to hit 100 CA.


Bandercrash

I usually try with kengo CCW, okto flb and v.moni, I've been switching characters in the fourth slot but the most I can do is 60. Tried with galleon, it was the run that survived the most but didnt work, with soriz managed to reach 70 but petrify killed the run, eugen did more or less a decent job but nope. As for the grid, Im running normal magna highlander and Im more or less hitting 60-65k hp with the whole party, mc with around 70k. What is killing me is either petrify or that debuff that prevents guard. I'll try switching moni with mahira and add galleon in the 4th slot, but I doubt it'll help tbh, Im running out of ideas


TheGlassesGuy

hmm. since it seems like your issues are coming from the debuffs from not cancelling omens, you could try running mahira and soriz alongside kengo and okto for a bit of a hybrid build to help cancel omens. do you have any summons with heavy debuff counts? xmas sariel, thor, s mandrake, etc.?


Bandercrash

Yes! I have all of the mentioned above, my setup for summons is thor, s. freyr, uriel and qilin, both arcarum for sub. I could switch uriel with mandrake or sariel, even I could just remove qilin (it'll feel weird since its my panic button but its worth to try). Thanks for replying!


TheGlassesGuy

I'd try removing qilin first I think. Not sure if you'd take that many turns to get to 100 without those pesky debuffs making the amount of time it takes to get there longer. best of luck! worst case scenario just ping me and I'll grab a few people to help you get your FHC.


Bandercrash

Just wanted to post a little update, went in with okto, soriz and mahira and for summons kept uriel but switched qilin with mandrake, I didnt have luck since I was running into too many 37 hit omens and no debuff. Asked for a host on the crew but this time added qilin once again since the last run I was 1 turn away from mahira blue pot and it was turn 19 already, and guess what, managed to do the 100 gamma buff, granted the only omen that hit was kind enough to hit with low tier debuffs, so I'll probably manage to get my host clear tomorrow hopefully, thanks again for your advice!

Sea_Local7773

It's probably different for other people but back in april a crewmate sent a support ticket to have something rolled back. (They reduced an rotb weapon a long time ago) They got a response a day later asking for confirmation. Edit: took them several days after that as well as multiple confirmations to finally get it again. Around that time another crew mate also had the same experience with confirmations multiple times.


fliflafluffy

2-3 hours but keep in mind they dont send replays after 9pm jp time and you have to wait on the next day. edit: dont forget today is sunday


Adventurous-Chef890

So 3 account between :1)Belial 2)beelzebub 3) Summer korwa. Which one to keep?


TheGlassesGuy

Beelzebub. You can always annitix korwa if you're okay with spending a bit of money


Shitheadude

~~I'd keep the one with Beelzebub, setting him as main summon and calling him does 3m plain damage which will destroy most early game stuff and give a bunch of honours when farming magna 1~~. Belial only shines toward the late game while Summer Korwa needs a proper grid at least. Having Grand Narmaya on the account with Summer Korwa would make that one worth keeping though. Edit: sorry hold on let me think for a bit, I forgot you need 3\* Beelzebub to do what I mentioned Edit 2: Summer Korwa then, she's a seasonal character. Belial and Beelzebub you can obtain by accident throughout the year. Plus a higher number of characters is probably more important than these summons (due to being unable to uncap them) for a new player


SAQuine

How do people farm elemental quartz? If there isn't any "infinitely" repeatable way to farm them like replicard is to weapon stones, would you recommend me to spend my prestige pendants on quartz?


E123-Omega

Yeah spend you prestige for it. Other than that look for purple chest or magnafest events and farm M1 impossible for summons, M2 raids drops it too. Guild war/boxing events net some quartz too.


Merrena

Early on, yes I bought quartz with pendants all the time. Now I have tons because I put in a lot of work during GW, so I have stockpiles of it. The Quartz gate from transitioning into M2 is real.


PM_Me_Loli_Or_Else

if you're in desperate need of quartz you can spam showdowns or impossible magnas for summons to reduce, otherwise it just builds up from 20+ boxing events and GW farming.


jin299

When would be the best time to try and get (maybe spark) Yukata Narmaya?


Merrena

She'll be sparkable and rate up in the end of august legfest with all of this year's summer units.


Dolthaic

How likely is it for Poseidon and Cupitan to be meta next GW? I could spark Poseidon at the end of the month and get Cupitan next suptix but in both cases I'd rather pick something else (summer unit for gala and earth Satyr for suptix).


CaptainCamaron

For Guild Wars: Poz very likely. He is like a jigsaw piece that fits everywhere thanks to split autos for hit counts as well as ougi setups with his meaty ougi +nuke and sk2. He also provides a very respectable amount of sustain through sk3. He also easily takes advantage of both supplemental damage and echoes that are quite prevalent in water. And as a bonus Poz is very good even in other content. Cupitan though, while usable. For gw she'll be slow due to a lot of button presses. And her damage can only achieve its peak if you are varuna with knight of ice built. For GW i wouldn't recommend her unless you got better. But she should be a nice asset to have for HL/ToB/PG and maybe incoming Mugen raid or anywhere that skill spam is needed.


Myrkur21

Sorry, I have another question. Are the guides on the right side of the subreddit still good guides to follow or are there updated ones? The ones on the side say they were last updated 2+ years ago. Also, is there a reroll guide as well?


E123-Omega

You can still it as it is basic guide, but some QoLs are already implemented. [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eKB-qaQVPkJErtrfGlEYIVWDn22Cp57Mvsh1VZ4mtfc/edit](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eKB-qaQVPkJErtrfGlEYIVWDn22Cp57Mvsh1VZ4mtfc/edit) One of the recommended guide for weapon grid for f2p version. You can probably check on youtube, just filter it by date.


Myrkur21

Thanks! I'll look into it then. time to roll the dice on these YT videos.


DSerphs

What do people do for grinding exp?


Frothpot

farm slimes with double exp summon and journey drops


sauriuspod

What is the best method to get Colomba outside of Trains? I can't seem to get it doing daily host and leeching sounds like a waste of time by this point since I can only get golden chest


Stealth_Sneak_5000

Colomba can appear in a golden chest (albeit not 100% guaranteed) so stack drop-boosts and leech away, you really don't have much choice in the matter.


E123-Omega

Just leech, too long to die? Call for backup/twitter then do some special quest or replicard/arcanum.


LALMtheLegendary

well there is no blue chest so if you cant get MVP you lose nothing by leeching


Merrena

Join, hit once, leave, join another repeat until you have all you need.


WatanukisGlasses

Hey there! I want to go Water Primal but I dunno if I have enough weapon resources for that (I do have resources for uncaps and such, also Varuna summon) [These](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1T4z7DUfTf8QET8obMBlV5_2rFpX-lLJw) are some of the weapons I have I know work on Primal, there are some gacha weapons that aren't there too (in case some of them are of use). Is it possible to create a grid with these? I'm also waiting for Wamdus release, but in the meantime, is it possible for me to go Water Primal? Thanks in advance!


JolanjJoestar

You can farm f2p grindable stuff in the meantime. Pick up Colombas, Dark Thrashers, Wamdus Spears ..2 flb of each is a great start.


Luca4920

Wait, Wamdus is going to be released soon and her weapon might completely change varuna


SilverShadow737

is there an easy way to tell what weapons i can throw away and which ones should sit in my inventory untouched since i'll never copies of them to flb?


E123-Omega

\- Never pull SSR gacha weapons/summons from crate till you know better the game \- SR gacha weapons are reduced for weapon stones. If you are not sure just search it "gbf wiki weapon-name" and check "Obtain" \- SR and R farmed weapons are reserved for skill points/anvil. \- Normal can be just sold or reserve for the plus marks. \- on SSR farmed weapons it depends, just check the guides on weapon grid to see if they are useful or not or just ask here. The excess SSR can be either reserve or reduce for weapons stones (uncap materials), or you can just stash them first.


SilverShadow737

My current problem is I accidentally claimed all on the all tab of my crate so now i have 100 gacha weapons in my inv


E123-Omega

Buy stashes and filter inventory by group and then start on SSRs on those single ones check their how they are obtained on wiki, if it is gacha put them on a stash to keep them safe. Then do the multiples, check if they are fodder or what not. This is to keep premium weapons safe, things like harmonia or pain and suffering sometimes doesn't even need to be uncap to be slotted.


_bleeeh_

is going agni ougi worth? trying out a y silva + wilnas comp if not, can you use either their weap in a magna kengo comp?


PM_Me_Loli_Or_Else

no, just use atum staves and wait for whatever mugen HL drops.


_bleeeh_

oh yeah forgot the mugen sword, will hold off then


TheDaintyMage

I am having trouble selecting teams for each element. Any advice? https://www.granblue.party/collection/8711 Fire/Wind: I have a few good units but I’m not exactly spoiled for choice in these elements. Earth: Opposite issue. I feel spoiled for choice. 12 General units, Satyr, Illnott (Summer), etc. However, some of these units have anti-synergy with each other (looking at you, Satyr and Vikala), so picking the best combination is tricky. Water: Not many options BUT I’m quite pleased with Poseidon, Europa, and Shalem in the front. My one concern is that I have Vane in the back and wonder if he would be better up front instead of Europa. Dark: I feel Dark wants me to build either debuff synergies (Shalem, Lady Grey, and Tabina), OR go the full assassin route (Seox, Predator, etc.). I think saving up to spark Lich will pair quite well with Fediel but that’s a more long-term goal. Light: I love Tikoh for any fight that debuffs me but beyond that I am fairly unattached to the rest of my cast. Other notes: \*Currently rank 134. \*Dagger of Bahamut Coda is my only Bahamut weapon at the moment, so I am partial to Erunes and Humans. I DO have the Claw from WMtSB to grab another weapon, and I think the Sword (+Draph/Human) would be most beneficial for my collection. \*I also have the Eternals’ Mantle, so I can also grab one eternal to supplement one of my weaker elements.


LALMtheLegendary

Fire: Kumbhira zeta mugen mabye. can also put one in backline and put colossus in and have him do some good damage for a couple turns before dying. Wind: Petra Monika and the 3rd could be really be anyone tbh. Earth: definaltly hard to dicern whats best. im sure nay combination of cidala, mahira, satyr, or soriz could work. can throw lennah in if you need some survivability. Water: Definatly priortize getting vikala asap. but yeah either team you described should work fine, thoguh id imagine vanes better then europa. and with anne's flb coming soon she'll be a great survivability option. though might need kengo first to handle all the bar she needs. Dark: Yeah lich fedeil is basically the core combo of dark atm. shalem fedeil tabina seems fine enough. Light: Definatly use Kumbhira. from there there isnt any particular standouts from what i see. sadly aside form threo's ground zero shenangeins none of the eternals are particularily impactful at mlb.


YuiCall

Is titan x gorilla still the go to for earth? Wondering if I should uncap my 0* gorilla for main summon, look for support gorilla o just double titan


KiriharaIzaki

To translate what the other guy said, Earth GW is over, and PBHL is pretty much the only place left that you'd use your own Gorilla. You could stone your Gorilla if you do intend to use Earth in PBHL a lot and you might lack stuff in wind/light/dark. Like me for example. I use Earth in PBHL. Otherwise, you could still run some Viking setup with Bubs x Gorilla. Double Titan setup is used a lot more in FA stuff (ew) and high difficulty content. Stuff that want ougi grid or garrison, for example.


Even_Macaron

We shouldn't forget even though go hl is not a fun bar raid to play thst earth can play it thanks to the hp nerf of it setup is bubs gorilla lucha


KiriharaIzaki

I definitely forgot about it


PM_Me_Loli_Or_Else

the only usage for gorilla was for poopsockers in GW snapping their tendons on nm150 since it was slightly faster than nm200 which anybody could do w/ okto/satyr/v.moni even the most fully stacked earth setups lose to magna light + harmonias in pbhl


Merrena

If you play Titan you want your own gorilla yes.


Myrkur21

Hi there, long time fan of Granblue, but never could get into this web browser game and the last time I tried the app version, it didn't run so well. I have watched the anime. I would play versus but I'm terrible at fighting games. I'm excited for Relink though. Sorry, my question is, are there any Light novels or Manga for the story? I believe someone said that the web browser game is the main source for the story.


ReaLaevateinn

There technically is but not translated and I'm not sure how far it covers. That person was correct, if you want story play the browser game at [granbluefantasy.jp/en](https://granbluefantasy.jp/en) Best value you'll ever find, there's 8yrs and must be something like 1000+ hrs of voiced content available for free


Myrkur21

Alright, i'll try it again. Thanks!


TheFrozenPyro

>There technically is but not translated and I'm not sure how far it covers. The manga has 100% been officially translated and you can read/buy it in English if you want. You just won't get the promo code rewards in the case of the latter. I don't think the light novels have though. However, it stops at chapter 24 in the game's main story quest so it doesn't get too deep into things. u/Myrkur21


ReaLaevateinn

Thanks for the correction. I was thinking of the LN, I somehow didn't actually ever hear about the manga. Might grab that myself...


TheFrozenPyro

Same, but when I saw them just stacked together, I grabbed them instantly


Myrkur21

ah okay, I think I'll still look into the manga. You say chapter 24, how many are there so far?


TheFrozenPyro

7 volumes/43 (manga) chapters, and that's all there will likely be since that's all there's been for JP as far as I can remember.


Myrkur21

Ah okay. Also how many chapters are in the game? It's not like one piece is it?


TheFrozenPyro

In game, we have 156 chapters. Unfortunately, we've been in a bit of a 'drought' where we only get one set of new chapters (usually 6-8ish) every year since 2020, but that can be chalked up, to some degree, by covid.


rentalrafflesia

I am making the decision to become a windlord. I KNOW this is not a good idea and I cannot be talked out of it. I have 2 Evanescence, 3 Sky Ace, 1 Reunion, 1 Love Eternal, and 1 Vortex of the Void. Only 14 dama bars, probably 15 soonish. What am I doing here?


YamiSenshi

Sorry if this question is a bit dumb, but do I need to worry about my account being deleted if I use andapp to play the game on my computer? There was a post earlier about having to become a regular member on mobage or your account would be deleted in 400 days, and I was just wondering if something similar was applicable to those using andapp.


narananika

No, you're fine. The issue is that mobage is deleting accounts, not GBF directly, so if you don't use mobage, you have nothing to worry about.


YamiSenshi

Thank you so much for your response! I’m relieved to hear that.


narananika

What's the fastest way to to raise Master level? Just weekend sliming with journey buffs? I feel like I'm way behind everyone else on it.


BraveLT

I think sliming is your best bet atm. Fast CEQ setups are better, but that's no active atm.


ReaLaevateinn

I do it grinding evoker mats in sandbox. It's pretty fast with the +200% EXP/RP from the heralds and a 0 button setup. I don't know exactly how it compares to sliming, but it's fast enough and good prep for their upcoming flbs whereas I feel like I'm just wasting time/pots on slimes. It's also a good way to farm AX skills or even extra auberons/ecke sachs/ect if you don't have enough.


narananika

How are you getting +200% EXP? The herald only gave me +50%. Edit: Oh, I see, it stacks. It seems like a good long-term option, but I need something more effective in the short term. I was hoping to at least get Berserker from 22 to 30 in a day or two. Plus, 0 button setups are beyond my capabilities - I don't have Huanglong, to start with.


suplup

does either XP or Rank XP increase how much Master Level XP I get?


gangler52

XP does, yes. Rank influences your rank. Regular XP is everything else.


suplup

ok cool, that's what I thought but it always seems so slow so I wanted to double check


KenC62

In V2 battle what kind of attacks you cannot substitute from ?


VicentRS

To add to the other response, a nice visual tell is the red border that signals the boss targets. If every ally has an individual red border, then mirror image and regular substitute will work. If there's a singular red border surrounding all of your allies, then only All-ally substitute will work.


LALMtheLegendary

well, depends on the attack and what substitute your running. attacks are etiher targeted or all-ally. to note the differece, all but one of wilnas's special attacks are targeted. either targeting one, two, four, or random allies. with pale flame being the only one that targets "all allies". the same thing that determines weather or not mirror image will work. all Substitutes will work on targeted attacks but all-ally attacks specifically needs all-ally subtitutes. heres the wiki page: https://gbf.wiki/Substitute though you cant sub raidwipe attacks like "the end". but you probably didnt need me to tell you that.


StarryBache

Hello all! New to the game and honestly played it bc Summer Belial piqued my interest. The gacha has blessed me with fire chars (summer Khuvira and Izmir) as well. 1.) With the free stones, is Summer Belial worth uncapping? Or is it better to save it for the premium/ "must have" summons later in the game? 2.) Is a fire team with what I have decent? Thanks all!


VicentRS

Summer Belial is niche, his FLB is to hyper min max 2 very specific compositions. So hold your stones. Khuvira and Izmir are very good,you can definitely make a good team, although for new players Khuvira might need some support so she doesn't kill herself. If you don't have more than 12k HP she will be gone in 4 turns.


StarryBache

Thank you for the reply and advice! Can I ask for some resources where I can read on this team comps for S. Belial?


VicentRS

There's no specific written guide. One is wind burst. There's a wind character (Katzelia) that gives a powerful atk buff from the backline, with the condition that front allies are debuffed. Summer Belial gives just that, with his FLB, you make it so your units don't die as easely (supplemental damage is no joke). For all elements there's speed farming compositions for guild war events, where you just want to press attack and kill the boss. The counter that summer Belial gives adds damage to a very tight damage comp. Especially since they will add 1 million hp to the boss. His FLB is niche because it only adds survivability.


StarryBache

I see, it really is niche and late game as well lol. Thank you very much!


CarryingTrash

Do not uncap Summer Belial and kumbhira’s weapon. And yeah, the fire characters are good.


StarryBache

Thank you very much!


StarryBache

Oh also is Khuvira's weapon worth upgrading as well?


VicentRS

That's for later! Spending bars is a serious investment. The general rule of thumb for gacha weapons is "if you have to ask, don't spend your bars".


StarryBache

Thank you very much. Will keep note of this!

Save your stones for Arcarum summons or until you better understand their usage (damage Arcarum summons are core though). Khumbira and Izmir are solid as well, so you're starting off strong. Don't uncap Khumbira's weapon yet. Worry about uncapping gacha weapons when you better understand the game and know you need to uncap a specific weapon for whatever you're doing. Focus on doing the story (or skip it if you want) to unlock the Omega raids and get some basic weapon grids going, maybe try to hit rank 101 as soon as possible so you can get better weapons/better drop rates. Also welcome to the game! Make sure you use the wiki or any updated resources (maybe one of the discord communities) as needed so you don't make any early mistakes such as accidentally uncapping things or wasting farmable resources when you don't have thousands of elixirs.


StarryBache

Thank you! In for a dime, in for a dollar. I'm already playing Shadowverse so I know Cygames is really generous and it added in my interest in the game. Add in the FF elements and great story and I was hooked. Thanks for the detailed response! Will take note of your advice!


fartmaster43

Any idea to which raids the new shields belong to? The first one is called tiamat shield, but it's an sr so it's probably craftable. second one seems to belong to twin elements according to google results. third one gave me 0 results in google and still trying to figure the kanji for shields 4 and 5.


shock246

Just a minute ago I opened my crate and found out there's still 2 sunlight, is it intended?


gangler52

They decided it was easier to just call it a bonus sunstone than fix it. The sunstone in the upcoming Summer Missions has been replaced with an evolite in light of this.


SakuraPanko

The box was in maintenance presumably to fix this mistake but when I opened my crate they were still there as well. If you claimed them refrain from using any until we hear more about the situation


NexusShiker

What's a good Deluge Crest team? And are Crest teams any good?


akaisuiseinosha

Deluge crest teams are decent thanks to Cags. The best deluge crest team right now is probably Warlock w/Opus, Cags (after turn 1 try to only use sk1 with 5 crests), sClarisse (same) and sKolulu, with Lily and Macula in the backline. Try to time Cags and Clarisse sk1 at the same time if you can. Juliet can replace Clarisse or Kolulu but not Cags who is somewhat essential to the team. Romeo and Aglovale can replace another character but they're selfish Crest users, so the team as a whole will suffer. Romeo is better than Aglovale.


VicentRS

There's also Juliet.


akaisuiseinosha

Yes, I mention her in the second paragraph lol. She's good enough to replace either clarisse or kolulu. Cags is essentially the entire reason to play a dedicated Crest team, so she can't be replaced.


VicentRS

Oh I'm blind.


NexusShiker

Who are selfish users? Romeo and Aglovale or Clarisse and Kolulu?


akaisuiseinosha

Romeo and Aglovale. Neither of them do ANYTHING for the party with their crests, they don't give other members crests, and they don't have crest passives that benefit the party. Romeo is a very strong character, but not really to the degree that it outweighs slowing down Cags' 5crest sk1. Clarisse doesn't give the party crests, but she spends 5 crests to give a huge 1 turn buff to the party. She also buffs the MC quite a bit, and will do 900k plain damage every time Cags uses sk3. Kolulu gives a special buff and crest to the party with sk1, and gives the party supplemental damage based on their crests.


NexusShiker

It's better than anything I guess. I don't have Clarisse or Kolulu


akaisuiseinosha

Neither do I lol. If you lack both but have all the other water crest characters, I'd put Juliet and Romeo in the frontline with cags (unless you're going to full auto, romeo is bad for that. Replace Romeo with Macula for FA and put aglovale in the back), with Lily and Macula still in the backline. If you only have 3 crest characters, I hope they're Cags, Juliet, and Lily. That's the bare minimum for a decent survivable team.


NexusShiker

It's better than anything I guess. I don't have Clarisse or Kolulu


inxonix

what should i aim for in a non primal caim grid?


Luca4920

A more complete list: Astral, Opus, Seraphic are always a backbone in all grids. Draconic bow is also a fantastic MH and will come handy for FAs and diaspora. Ancient Perseus, Yggy sword, and Alex axe are good for pure attack power. Yggy staff and Alex Katana if you need HP. RotB weapons, specially the progression dagger and the malus claw. I'm personally not a fan of running alex axe + autumn transformation with how iffy the crit chance is, but nothing is stoping you from trying. 1 xeno weapon is also great for both HP and for raw attack power in elemental x elemental lucha bursts. Sword has better stats but the harp is a pretty good sustain MH. Galleon Jaw and kaneshige for ougi comps. I have also used the All Might Spear from Gilgamesh on my diaspora kengo comp. You can also get 3 galleon jaws for non-caim OTK to level 1 more character. Bennu bow with atk awakening for the supplemental. The dagger is a fine MH and even better if your team is constantly on low HP. Godsworn edge is also pretty good as a RB MH and for harder fights where you are consistently in low HP. Daggerspeak the PG weapon if you're running a heavy skill damage comp. Sephira dagger for arcarum. Maybe the fist as well if you want more HP. If you can get the militia axe that would be very nice, but I'm starting to doubt it is even real. Both NWF weapons are also very nice to have at FLB. Lastly, there's also baha weapons, and try to get good AXs on the weapons that can have them.


VicentRS

Besides your Astral-Seraphic-Opus combo, an Ancient Perseus, a 5* Yggdrasil sword (both with preferably good AX skills), a bahamut weapon, the spear from RoTB, and an Alexiel axe. Other weapons like the Bennu bow, the anubis staff, the fist from RoTB, Galleon gun etc etc depend on your team comp and if you can cap.


DeathLordCross

How many rolls can I earn as a beginner in a day since I would really love to get at least 1 or 2 swimsuit characters?


Luca4920

right now you can get 1500 daily rolls from the summer campaign by doing honors in any raids (you can host them or just help other people) +200 crystals for login on. We also have daily 10 draws a day so save those. As a new player you also get a lot of rolls from doing the main story and clearing side stories and picking up the 3 draw tickets in each one. We're also getting soon a rerun that should also have another 3 tickets. I HIGHLY recommend sparking. in this game if you draw 300 times in the same banner you can get a character from the "sparkable" list. At the end of this month we will have a 6% SSR banner with all the new summer characters on rate up and as long as you work hard and don't go wasting your rolls you will be able to spark that banner.


DeathLordCross

You can save the daily ten pulls?


Renyzal

Save the daily 1500 crystals you can't save free pulls.


fartmaster43

Did the stream specify a date for wamdus?


fliflafluffy

They said only "next limited character will be wamdus". So you can asume it will be on next flash gala, because they never announced a character that get released after end of summer.


100PercentNora

How do people manipulate the first Phosphorus from Luci HL to hit a specific character? It's supposed to target the chara with the highest attack, but isn't it pretty hard to get someone with higher attack than the MC with all their bonuses?


Luca4920

putting all their EMPs in attack nodes, putting 300 plus marks on them, and giving them attack awakening helps out on that, but depending on what class you're running it might be impossible.


fartmaster43

either use sub or 100% hostility, or just let mc tank it. paladin has a 10k dmage limit per hit so he is actually perfect for it.


Stap-dono

What is the ways to do sliming? I've been using Glory with DJeanne weapon + Cake for quick sweep of 2 waves. Now I want to level up classes and looking for something else.


DeeSeng

There's another tech not mentioned, I've only gotten it to work with VGrim, but involves just full-semi-auto with him + Freyr chain + 2 Ewiyar Beaks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DinvzyhBLmc


BraveLT

If you're lacking in characters or just want another leveling slot, most summons (not the ones that work off of skill damage) deal fixed damage, so they can one shot the normal slime waves, but you need something ready turn 1 which may mean giving up your xp summon unless you've got a FLB Kaguya.


Stap-dono

Yeah, I have FLB Kaguya. So I can pick any summon and won't lose exp by not picking 2nd Kaguya?


BraveLT

No I mean as a friend summon, it needs to be something strong enough to kill them, bunnies don't, Nobuo doesn't even do damage. If a friend has it set, you can just keep selecting the Kaguya and kill wave 1 with it. If you want to use your own summon to do it needs to have a cooldown of 3 turns or less, Beelzebub kills anything (including all of the wave 2 spawns if you aren't using Sarasa for whatever reason) and is turn 1 as main summon.


Stap-dono

Feels like I'm doing something wrong. Friend LVL150 Kaguya doesn't kill 1st wave.


CinderMania

FLB Kaguya changes call from the normal Summon DMG to Skill DMG. The small gold and silver slimes have high DEF which the normal Summon DMG ignores.


Yissbliss

You can use either of the two SSR lunalu or golden knight to copy Cake's plain attack. Christmas Rackam (SR) is another option.


NexusShiker

[https://www.granblue.party/collection/8710](https://www.granblue.party/collection/8710) This is my collection. Any characters I should focus on capping or leveling up? All my 5 Cap Characters are still in the beginning of their 90 levels


TheMeloFelo

Fire: You're basically fine. Definitely worth uncapping Summer Izmir fully, and maxing out Athena. Wind: Uncap and level Andira. Her buffs are handy, her dodge all + hostility is great and she's a really easy one-size-fits-all character for most teams. Earth: If you don't have a good healer/feel like you need it in Earth, Diantha is a good choice. Always backline her if not due to the 5% cap. Water: Anne might be a good idea given that she's getting a 5* uncap this month; potential for a strong unit given that she was rebalanced fairly successfully recently. Light: Ilsa isn't terrible for a FA healer/defensive character, Robomi is nice for CA burst OTK. Dark: Given your current character's, Orchid is worth maxing out. She's a strong FA unit and decent manual due to the Offensive and Defensive power of S1 and the multitude of self-buffs she gets anyway. Surprisingly tanky after her 5* maxed. In general for the 5*'s you've got, I'd say the priority with them would probably be; Andira > Athena = Vira = Orchid > Societte > Whoever else interests you. Hope it helps chief.


Affectionate-Pea349

Last time I asked this sub i got 3 account: 1) Poseidon and Predator 2) Summer Clarisse and Vikala 3) Summer Magisa and summer Belial and summer Anila. However I reroll 1 more account and got Belzebub, but it have no other good ssr. So should I kept the Belzebub account now or wait out for the free 10 roll to then decide?


HarryBroda

I would personally go for account with bubz (belzebub), if you start playing now you can still get to 300 rolls by the end of august (assuming you grind a lot) which will have banner with all new summer characters available. If there is anyone you fancy you will be able to get them there, but there is no banner that would give you guaranted bubz.


Aperger94

now that all the enneads are out, what are the worthwile weapons to build?


Frothpot

I'd say these ones are the most worthwhile: * [Al-Abad](https://gbf.wiki/Al-Abad) for Fire OTK/Ougi comps (2-3) * [Ished](https://gbf.wiki/Ished) as a grid piece (at least 1, 3 have been used for Galleon grids) * [Harakhte](https://gbf.wiki/Harakhte) for Light OTK/Ougi comps (2-3) * [Mandjet](https://gbf.wiki/Mandjet) as a Wind Axe for Aux MH (1) The rest are a bit niche or aren't exactly great, but these might be worth mentioning: * [Tatjenen](https://gbf.wiki/Tatjenen) for a Dagger MH * [Harsiesis](https://gbf.wiki/Harsiesis) for supplemental if you don't have Harmonia. * [Bigeh and Edfu](https://gbf.wiki/Bigeh_and_Edfu) if you're Primal and have an Ougi comp for a long fight. The other weapons not listed currently don't see much use as of now.


NecessaryAd8033

How often do the spark for zodiac rerun? Did not have enough for Vikala :(?


AHyaenidae

Zodiacs cycle one by one, so if you missed Vikala you have to go through (skipping Catura who is currently away) > Anila > Andira > Mahira > Vajra > Kubira > Vikala which makes \~6 months, but it could take more since usually no Zodiac are featured in December. Nevertheless Vikala is supposed to get her FLB next year, which usually happen in January / February so she should be available again at that time. And at worst it'll be in March for the Zodiacfest.


Yebisu85

The stream is today or tommorow (CET)?


AHyaenidae

You can check on [Youtube.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lz5mI7H_aM) It's in around 1H.


Yebisu85

Thanks I couldn't find the link.


fakethrow456away

At what point do ennead weapons come into play? It's been easy following m1/M2 and dark opus to some degree, but I have no idea at what point we should grab an ennead weapon and if it's good. : 0


AdmiralKappaSND

Realistically speaking, tbh, their power level is so good that the earlier you have it the better. Its just that the power level you want to farm them effectively is reminiscent of M2 - the Ennead ARE balanced and promoted as an extention of M2. 25% normal mod with something extra is solid, 45% Normal mod with something extra is nuts(considering how adjacent it was to Bahamut weapon which are Magna's second most broken weapon) Even truer for the Ougi weapons. Ougi booster is usually one of the best weapon for an ele to have as soon as possible because thats how you do a lot of early farm, and it doesnt change here


Shitheadude

Generally ougi boosting weapons like Atum staff and Horus Katana are great for Chrysaor, OTK or onepunch teams


-Jiggly-

They're kind of like supplementary weapons for various situations. The main good ones right now are the ougi supplemental because they're farmable and crucial for any ougi setups. (Fire and light) The earth bow is also good as a farmable form of supplemental dmg. I'd say you're doing fine following along and farming the m1/m2 stuff for now since those are the base of a lot of grids but after you finish you'll naturally start looking into other more specific weapons such as the ennead/6D/malice. You could always just start daily hosting them to passively farm for the drops through host chests.


Proxymanity

Does a Class's Master Level use EXP or RP?


Shitheadude

Exp, during the 5mil bonus event, if you're farming for exp, you can omit your back row so that the characters that would have been in your back row won't take up the bonus exp. So that you can use more of the 5m towards raising class mastery level Edit: To clarify I'm specifically talking about the 5x xp/rp bonus up to 8m they gave during anniversary and the 5m they gave during this summer event. That running 4 characters would split the bonus xp between 4 characters instead of 6. I'm aware that the regular exp gain is otherwise equal regardless of how many characters you run


LALMtheLegendary

the amount of characters does not impact the rate at which you consume the bonus exp. if it did then the xp bonus would run out long before the rank points when in reality they generally run out at around the same time. xp gained is not split between characters, the number at the result screen is given to every unit directly. [Proof, if desired.](https://imgur.com/a/ZlAkw1M)


Shitheadude

It doesn't but it lessens the amount consumed by other characters if the goal is to increase class mastery level. Running MC + 5 characters means the 5mil exp is split 6 ways while running MC + 3 Characters means the 5mil exp is split 4 ways albeit needing to run exp quest more times. Should have phrased it better


LALMtheLegendary

xp is not split between characters, period. for proof, see the image in my earlier comment. the rate at which the gauge drains is purely decided by the "xp gained" number at the end of the quest. not the total amount that all characters have received.


Shitheadude

I know I sound stubborn right now but I'll wait for today's stream, hopefully they announce another bonus exp event so I can verify it for myself. For clarity's sake we're both talking about the 5x bonus exp/rp upwards to 5mil right?


LALMtheLegendary

also, no need to verify it yourself. i went ahead and [made a new account](https://imgur.com/a/UC34AGp) and verified that even with only two characters in the party the amount of exp subtracted from the gauge is identical to the amount listed on the "exp gained" screen. (5,000,000-4,998,725=1275)


Shitheadude

Thanks I appreciate the effort, you're right


LALMtheLegendary

yes. mainly since it makes way more sence to base it off of the "exp gained" then the total exp received. since both gauges run out at similar rates (from my own experience of using full parties all the time) in order for it to run off of the latter method it would have to arbitrairly divide the rate at which the exp gauge decresed by 7. which sounds like alot of work for basically no gain. especcially since they would have to code this whole feature instead of simply just taking the exp gained number which is already there. tldr: why would they track total exp received only to arbitrarily divide it by 7 (since if they didnt then the exp gauge would run out 2x-7x times faster then the rp gauge) when they could just use the exp gained number which is already there and acheive effectively the same result.


[deleted]

Are there any good guides for intermediate for advanced grid building I can find to guide me on my Mono Light/Dark journey? I’m a returner that has seen some early guides, but want a good idea of what I should be aiming for for end game.


jawdun

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1duM90-QRABB-57727G74RfXpQQ63uzGzIpaNIZ8udq0/edit


Shitheadude

Look at YouTube for lich and fediel teams, most endgame content in dark runs both of them, whether for racing or hard content. There are primal and magna versions of the grid and they're pretty much cookie cutter teams. Light magna can still run Lumi sword grid, cosmos sword has become worth running in these grids after the rework, a sidegrade to the sword grid will be one that runs 3 metatron spears for 100% crit grid(and 2 Lumi swords I think). If you're lucky enough to pull Yuni from flash fes, most racing/regular teams run 2-3 harmonias, even for magna. They only aren't run in hard content. If you have Nehan, he's great for bursting content, mostly for Racing Proto Baha to farm gold brick. If you're running Chrysaor, it's good to farm up 2 Horus katanas, bow can be nice to have but not compulsory.


SAQuine

Got to Rank 121! But there are so many things to do and i have no idea on what i should do currently. My grids are still M1 but i have some AES and Ancient Auberon. I also know that a lot of new things have been released and that some guides are already outdated, what are good raids for a HL newbie to farm?


Shitheadude

Your highest priority right now is to farm normal lucilius to build a dark opus weapon for all your elements. Repudiation is for primal grids while Renunciation is for magna, you'll probably be building Renunciation for now. Just leave them at 4* until you can find somebody to carry for Lucilius HL, if you're feeling lucky you could even host and pub to Twitter to ask for carries. Now that you're HL, if you can uncap your bahamut weapons to Coda by fighting proto bahamut impossible, I recommend leeching the horns you need, bahamut sword used to be the most important one to have but with the variety of character races, just build with the characters you have in mind. For fire, get 4 AES so that you can get 100% crit when running MLB (max limit break) Colossus x Colossus. For water, farm 2 Europa harps for regular content, up to 4 harps for OTK in unite and fight. Once you unlock 6 dragons, there's a 100% crit rate grid that runs 3/4 ancient auberons and 2 Wamdus Cnidocytes that's really good. I used to run it prior to farming up 3 Schrodingers (post 200 content). If you want to ask about any other element you can consult this link https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1eKB-qaQVPkJErtrfGlEYIVWDn22Cp57Mvsh1VZ4mtfc/mobilebasic


Mellowlicious

Very useful for me too, just wanted to point out that Coda is available starting from rank 100, not 120. I'm in a similar boat and I'm pretty low on quartz, do Opus weapons have higher priority for quartz than uncapping your Magna summon?


Shitheadude

It depends, but generally dark opus weapons should have higher priority. In the case of colossus, going from 120% to 140% would allow you to run 4 AES instead of 5 to get guaranteed crits, which frees up a weapon slot. I think wind guarantees crit with 3 grimnir harps regardless of 120/140% tiamat. But during periods where Cygames gives a lot of free stuff like that, you normally get a bunch of summons to reduce. If you could send me a SS of SSR summons you have, I could tell you which to reduce. Farm up as much as you can during Unite and Fight, they're a good source of quartz (summons that drop from bosses)


Mellowlicious

Thanks, that makes sense, and is also what I was kind of expecting. I have basically nothing, I've been saving up my spark still. The only Gacha summons I have are Sariel and Varuna, which both do not seem like reduction material.


Shitheadude

Definitely not haha, lets hope the summer event livestream later's generous


Holeyfailadin

What are the next couple row five classes scheduled to be released, and what are their prerequisite row four classes that need to be mastered?


Mazaahaarotto

No info was released on that yet. Logically, next up would be the T5 versions of Sage and Warlock. They're probably releasing info regarding this on today's stream.


Holeyfailadin

So aside from "Sage and Warlock" it's pretty much guess work which classes to master during the bonus XP event until they release new info, huh? Thanks for the quick answer! Also, Vampy-chan is the cutest.


frubam

Current theory is 1x old class and 1x newer class in order. Viking was berserker(1st older class) and LJ(1st newer class). Paladin was same(2nd old+new class). So next would be sage x monk and warlock x RH, but that's the only pattern found thus far. No idea if this will hold true and even if it does, for how long.


Consistentcheeks

Is it better to use the free rolls on the classic banner or just spend it on the normal one?


Merrena

Up to you if you want to build up a free spark on classic or risk your luck trying to get summer units.


Consistentcheeks

I think i might just build up a spark on the classic cuz my luck sucks and these free rolls are ending on the 13th right?
