What weapon drops to keep?

SR Weapons

These SR Omega weapons with a medium attack skill can be used in baby grids when you don’t have any other attack skill weapons or not enough SSR weapons yet. It can be worth it to fully uncap some of those weapons and skill level them to 2 or 3 until you get to find SSR drops to replace them. Unfortunately, Light and Dark don’t have any SR drops with an attack skill, so their weapons will only serve as fodder. Once you’ve filled your grid with SSR weapons, just use those weapons as regular skill fodder.

 

SSR Weapons

Those are the weapons you’ll want to keep, feel free to use the rest as fodder. Note that Dark and Light drop rates are much lower, with the Dark Claw and Light Sword drop rates being even lower among their respective element weapons.

  Placeholder SSR        Special SSR

                                                          Base SSR

 

● Placeholders: Those weapons have an attack skill, but either it’s only a medium attack skill or either they have a better option to replace them with (generally a weapon with more raw attack). They will still be able to fit in your grid for a very long time until you start to uncap all your weapons, so don’t hesitate to keep them. Note that Yggdrasil sticks are also used in the very, very late game, so avoid reducing them if you can help it.

 

● Base SSR : Those weapons will constitute the core of your Magna grids, as they are the best choice you’ll have to slot in your grid, unless special circumstances.

 

● Special SSR : Those weapons are actually better than their Base SSR counterparts, for the simple reason that despite bringing inferior to “Big” attack skills, they also have an additional offensive skill. Both the Tiamat Bolt and the Celeste Claw bring “Enmity”, which increases tremendously your damage the lower your HP. The Chevalier Sword brings both a Normal and Magna multiplier, as well as HP, making it a weapon with higher damage than average, but only once you’ve reached HL.

 

 

Main Quest

The current Main Quest goes up to Chapter 9X, with 4 new chapters being added every 2 months. As a new player it is recommended to get to Chapter 24 as fast as you can to unlock all the core raids of the game (up to Celeste). If you want to continue going, keep in mind all Main Quests are free up ‘till Chapter 63.

 

On your path through the Main Quest you’ll quickly get some free Story SR units along the way. These might fill up empty slots in your teams.

- SR Katalina (Requirement: Clear Chapter 1): SR Katalina will probably be your most useful SR unit for the early game. She heals, she prevents debuffs, and protects your team. During early game you’ll most likely slot her in most of your teams if you need the sustain. You can uncap her a 4th time after beating Chapter 36.

 

- SR Rackam (Requirement: Clear Chapter 2):

Mostly known for being the most iconic character in the GrandBlues comic, overall a rather weak unit. You can uncap him a 4th time after beating Chapter 28.

 

- SR Io (Requirement: Clear Chapter 6): She’s a weaker version of Katalina providing heals and clear. You most likely won’t use her though. You can uncap her a 4th time after beating Chapter 42.

 

- SR Eugen (Requirement: Beat Chapter 10): Eugen is a potent attacker for early Earth teams, being able to tank some single target attacks through his counters and providing decent bursts with his instant charge bars. You can uncap him a 4th time after beating Chapter 32.

- SR Rosetta (Requirement: Beat Chapter 14): Rosetta, also nicknamed as JK (for Joshi kōsei = High School girl, a recurring joke in Grand Blues about how she pretends to be forever young) will make for a decent wind unit until you can find better. Her fourth uncap happens after chapter 52. She also has the lewdest best Casino outfit.

 

- SR Lecia (Requirement: Beat Chapter 44): Needing quite the jump in Chapters, Lecia is a jack of all trades, providing damage repel, dodge rate, team attack up and a simple nuke. Her usefulness may be negligible considering how late she joins in the story.

       As of today Lecia does not have a 4th uncap.

 

- SR Cain (Requirements: Beat Chapter 89): Another huge jump in Chapter requirements, Cain is actually a really potent Earth support and attacker. He has an 8-hit nuke, a potent team buff, and a unique self-buff that boosts his attack at the cost of defense.

 

 

You may have some characters in your teams that require a certain Chapter from the Main Quest to be passed in order to do their Fate. Rushing through the story can be crucial for some of them (in particular SSR Lecia) and is in most cases recommended. If you get walled off by a boss (a particular mention being Chapter 62-4), feel free to use and abuse the rebound bonus given by the game after being defeated (up to 100% additional HP and attack). If even with the rebound bonus you’re still stuck, don’t be afraid to step back and work on becoming more powerful.

Angel Halo

Angel Halo is a special set of quests with the main purpose of providing EXP fodder for weapons and summons to level them. It also drops some useful materials such as whorls, orbs, high orbs, and light-related materials such as scales or scrolls. It also has a chance to drop important items known as Rusted Weapons. These are used for Revenant weapons for elemental changes and for other weapons in the game such as the Bahamut and Ultima weapon series.

 

It is always accessible through the “Special” tab in the Quest screen. It comes in three difficulties and the amount, along of rarity, of drops goes up with how difficult it is.

 

Though Angel Halo’s importance grows as a player progresses through content, it goes beyond what the scope of the guide is meant to be covering. For now, it is a good source of experience and EXP fodder to help level your summons and weapons.

 

Rotating Quests: Elemental Trials and Showdowns

There are two rotating sets of quests in Granblue Fantasy that change every two days at reset; the elemental trials and the showdowns. These can be found at the “Special” tab on the quest screen.

 

The elemental trials are special quests that drop materials related to the element of that said trial. They drop tomes, prisms, orbs, whorls, and dragon scales; all are useful for upgrades and uncapping weapons and characters. Do keep in mind, this is quite difficult for a newcomer to clear but if you can manage it, it will be your best source for element-specific materials. The Water/Earth/Fire/Wind trials also drop a special item known as an elemental fragment. These are used for the Seraphic and Ultima weapon upgrades and forging, but that goes beyond what a newcomer needs to know for now.

 

The showdowns are a special set of quests that drop animas/items/weapons.The items and animas can be exchanged for items and weapons. The summons, in particular Diablo, are useful as stat sticks with decent to good calls. Don’t hesitate to use those summons as temporary Main Summons for their aura as well if you don’t have any magna weapon yet in your grid.

Other Raids

Starting from Rank 50, you’ll be able to join Proto Bahamut and Grand Order raids. You cannot host these two yourself until you reach Rank 80, but joining them – if you can, they’re popular and hard to get into – results in some great drops for you. [However be aware that leeching or not contributing can go wrong because these raids do have a higher chance to fail than Omega showdowns, though the chance of failure is usually quite low. As a newbie, try not to stress about not contributing, but it’s good etiquette to pull your weight a bit more for these raids once you’ve unlocked these harder ones.

Proto Bahamut: You’ll want Horns of Bahamut and Rusted Weapons. These items are necessary to craft various powerful weapons. Bahamut can also be a source of Champion Merits, an item you’ll need a lot.

At 25% and 5%, he casts Skyfall, which is a horrible attack designed to absolutely wipe out your characters. Ideally, someone in the raid (or it can be you!) will cast Phalanx II/III to create a 70% damage cut shield for the entire raid. It is up to you to bring the other 30%: this can be your own fully uncapped Onyx Carbuncle (for dark resistance) or other ways as detailed at the bottom of this page: https://gbf.wiki/Proto_Bahamut_(Raid)

 

Grand Order: you’ll want Azure Feathers, which can be traded 5 per 1 Heavenly Horn (these can also drop themselves). Heavenly Horns can be traded for either Silver Centrums (1 per month) or a Cosmos Weapon of your choice. You can also get Champion Merits. Pay special attention to Blue Sky Crystals, as they are a rare material you can only really farm from doing Co-Op’s daily missions.

At 90% and 80%, Grand Order will cast Mirror Image for every person who reaches that HP threshold and attacks. Send out a Lyria OK! sticker to indicate you’ve triggered her Mirror Image and someone will know how to dispel it (using a summon or similar technique). At 50%, make sure you’ve read the above ways to achieve 100% damage cut because she will cast Gamma Ray, which is also designed to wipe your party. After 45% she will change form again and will not cast it, so you will be safe from that particular method of wiping.

 

Less important raids at our level:

● Tier 1 Raids are Twin Elements, Macula Marius, Medusa, Nezha, Apollo, Dark Angel Olivia. Unfortunately, the weapon drops from these raids would go beyond the expanse of a beginner’s guide. Though they do drop Omega weapons, their drop pool is diluted by their own unique weapons too. Their anima are items you’ll need to host your own Grand Order one day however.

● Tier 2 Raids are Athena, Grani, Baal, Garuda, Odin, Lich. Again, unfortunately beyond the scope of a beginner’s guide. Some of their weapons and all of their animas will however be useful in the future. They are also a great source of Rainbow Prisms since it’s a guaranteed drop in those raids.

● Primarch Raids: They don’t drop anything really interesting outside of damascus grains, silver centrums, and their animas, which can be also found in Ultimate Bahamut raid.

● Huanglong/Qilin: Now that Qilin doesn’t drop crystals anymore, you can safely ignore those until you reach at least level 80.

● Ultimate Bahamut: The most difficult pre-HL (and still one of the most difficult post HL) raid in existence, completely outside of the scope of this guide.

● Griffin, Zarchnal Flame, Imperial Guard, Will-o'-Wisp, Ancient Dragon, Evil Eye are… rather pointless honestly. If you absolutely must squeeze everything out of everything, you can get some useful drops, but you really could spend that AP/BP elsewhere. They should be cleared once for the crystals at least though.

 

Casino

The Jewel Resort Casino opens up once you clear Chapter 8 of the story. You can play Poker/Bingo/Slots from here and win chips. Chips are used to purchase useful items such as ½ AP Potions, Omega Summon Animas, along with a very useful summon called Anat.

Casino is also extremely rage inducing

What should I play?

 

The general consensus is that Poker is the most stable way of generating chips in the casino. You will lose a lot, but you will win a lot more so it will still be a profit in the end, especially in comparison to Bingo and Slots. Bingo is a sort of “win big or go home” type of scenario and Slots is chip inefficient versus the other two methods of collecting chips.

 

You can also trade in rupees for chips if you’re desperate.

Casino Cage

 

The Casino Cage is basically the rewards shop where you can exchange chips for a variety of goods. Goods range from character skins to summons, ½ AP Potions to Omega Animas. Some items in the shop restock at the beginning of each month as well so don’t forget to buy them daily!

 

Do note that the Jewel Modele is unlocked after collecting 1m in chips from winnings.

 

The weapons in the Casino Cage are generally reduced since they break down into the same number of resources as weapons obtained from the Premium Draws.

 

In order to buy out all the items that restock at the end of the month, it takes approximately 11m chips. Most players just buy out Fury Stones/Pebbles/1/2 AP Potions/Soul Berries/Omega Animas, however, at the total of 4.5m a month.
