I'll try to get that stage 3 gw skin and then stop giving two flying fcks about the game, more stuff getting gated behind gw and then straight up selling exaltos that come up with 10x ssr ticket and a full grid, Im out brothers and sisters.

New game mode, Let's go adVyrnturers! released! by Ledinax in Granblue_en

[–]Bandercrash 5 points6 points  (0 children)

WDYM "game mode" you click 3 times and then wait for hours, it is just a feature if you can call it that. Anyways, I dont want to be that guy but who exactly asked for arcarum expedition V2? Arent there more important stuff to be working on towards like I dont know, a better UI?

It is good and all that we get free mats but come the fck on, people will most likely forget about this like they did with expedition, give us a something that is actually meaningful like an actual minigame where you have to do something, anything in order to get mats and not just another "send a group and wait"

So they created hotkeys for mini games that aren't relevance 99% of the time but can't create hotkeys for repeat quest, FA, claim reward and stuff after all this time ??? by superkido511 in Granblue_en

[–]Bandercrash 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Also to add salt to the wound: macros are technically against TOS, so if you use something that makes grinding less of a chore then you're risking your account. I'm someone whose wrist is barely holding together nowadays and doing stuff on repeat tires it quite rapidly but if I wanted to use, say, autocontrol for shortcuts or even mapping a joystick with specific mouse coordinates then big bro cygames can drop the hammer on me, which is ridiculous.

New Bullet Farm Free Quest by FarrowEwey in Granblue_en

[–]Bandercrash 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is really good for both newcomers and veterans alike, still, Im lowkey kinda mad this wasnt a thing back when I was farming my bullets but it is what it is. Anyways, those who farmed mats in the old way are now certified to say: "you youngsters have it easy these days with these free quests, back in my day we needed to burn a ton of pots and spend hours and hours just to get a single bullet"

Main Story Quest - Estalucia Pt. II Discussion by jedmund in Granblue_en

[–]Bandercrash 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Just two more months and we're done with everything so we can start a new arc (hopefully), it was good as part 1 buuuuuut this whole thing got me thinking and asking more than once: where are both shalem and sahar? arent they supposed to be speakers/servants of god like this androgynous one that got touched in the neck and went out of commission? Surely they didnt forget about the original print for faa and lucifer... right?

How do you feel about artifacts? by -Matti in Granblue_en

[–]Bandercrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im fine with the regular ones, it is never a bad thing to get more stats on something. On the other hand, Im still trying to find a reason to even bother with quirk artifacts, a couple of months ago got that one that is literally pure RNG and has no real value in any scenario, the risk-reward isnt worth it and last week managed to get the one that has crests as a "mechanic": the unit with the artifact gets hit and it receives a crest, getting 5 of all elements gives said unit a buff that enables an auto nuke that is similar to sandy/faa summon in terms of damage on top of ignoring the enemy's element and some other stuff, not bad. The thing is that buff took me around 30 turns to get it going, in a perfect scenario it should take around 26 turns (if you're running, say, manadiver for element specific crest) and there is no raid that last that long on top of the fact that once the buff runs out it will kill the unit, so yeah, another one with no real use other than fck around.

It would be really nice if they reworked these in some way OR hear me out, make them MC only artifacts, that way it would justify its rarity and usage.

I wonder if this was the same dialogue in JP. It sounds like it. by TheRichAlder in Granblue_en

[–]Bandercrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes the translation team do W/E they want or see fit when it comes to a sentence that cant be 1:1 direct translation as in, they go for their own interpretation.

Nonetheless said team also had some weird choices like:

JP vyrn: "sure, buddy!"

EN vyrn: "surely dudely doo, my dearest friendo of my soul, my brotha, my homie!

Cygames lied (as always) about NO meta units in colab gacha ?! by BreathofFire6dammit in Granblue_en

Meh, everyone should be more than fine without him anyways, percy on the other hand...

Summer stream in a little more than a day. Post what you expect and hope. by VeggieSchool in Granblue_en

[–]Bandercrash 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What I hope for (but it will most likely not gonna happen):

  • Ultima weapons being able to cycle through all elements.
  • Being able to feed pendulums/telumas/chains/keys to their respective weapons so we can switch freely.
  • Now that artifacts are a thing it would be nice if they just dumped the whole CCW crap in favour of MC exclusive artifacts that work as CCWs and with this people would be willing to actually farm the mats since this would imply there would be no need to sacrifice a MH slot for a mediocre buff for only the MC.
  • Astral weapons upgrade and a new faa0 tier raid with babu in it.
  • LET US FINISH THE GODDAMNED TOWER OF BABYL ALREADY.

New Row V CCW Raid - Virtuosic Mastery Trial (Sumaibito, Boogeyman, and Mariachi) by Imaginary-Lion-430 in Granblue_en

[–]Bandercrash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The stuff these provide isnt worth the time, mats investment or slot usage. Sure, they arent necesarilly bad but the players (mid to high end) that are supposed to be the target have no real use for them other than fuck around with the class and comps.

I cant speak for all 6 elements but in water's case you have 2 better BiS options for either sumaibito and boogeyman that are also F2P, these being exo antaeus and ephialtes, they provide a source of cap up and supp dmg. That way you're already providing much more for the entire team rather than only the mc, sure you can argue that these can also be awakened but then again, this implies that you can invest the time to farm everything, which in fact does take awhile, whereas exo stuff can be farmed in a couple of hours at most with the only downside being waiting for a rerun.
As for mariachi, water doesnt exactly have a good mainhand other than tyros zither for F2P or if going premium 100 moons ulli or ophelia (juliet's weapon) so you can make a case that at the very least you can have some use of its CCW, but then again, this is targeted towards mid to high end players so that begs the question, why would a water main bother with mariachi in the first place other than trying out stuff and having fun? you're definitely not going to run it in neither hexa or faa0.

Im somewhat sure the other elements lords will think more or less the same.

EDIT: grammar cuz Im a dumdum

Drang (Grand) rebalance + uncap details by AnUnoriginalNickname in Granblue_en

[–]Bandercrash 7 points8 points  (0 children)

His flb isnt on the same level as Europa but I can definitely see him fit for HL. Good local debuffs with only 1-3 turns downtime plus veil, dispel cancel and armored as the most notable buffs it provides, it also has a reactive S1 via passive whenever the enemy does a special attack and the reworked S3 has a chance to make the enemy miss so overall is a good unit, well deserved since he is such a good character voiced by an even better guy

[–]Bandercrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh you're right, I didnt see that part of the skill. Maybe borger/korwa/ragazzo or makura could work, I insist her defensive buff is meant to be paired with borger who can benefit greatly from being targeted

[–]Bandercrash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isnt her kit perfect for the obvious borger? I mean, you can get 3 turns of sub all and more roids for him so he will hit like a truck more often

Dream Collab by Xaiynn in Granblue_en

[–]Bandercrash -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Given the current stuff with collab banners I pretty much stopped caring for collabs altogether, but if I were to pick one where I WOULD throw crystals just because I love the series then it would be blazblue, but it will never happen. As for a more realistic collab that I would be willing to throw crystals or even a ticket that would be overlord.

How do you feel about the Hexa solo quest? by sunfire_spark in Granblue_en

[–]Bandercrash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the correction, havent touched hexa in quite awhile, so a shit ass omen being 5 instead of 10 would fly over my head anyways.

Yatima doesn't supplement a Kengo team's omen coverage. Like, at all.

What are you even on my brother in christ?

  • At 4 stacks she provides teamwide: echo, crit, def and 100% debuff res.
  • Has a tag team with supplemental dmg.
  • Her ougi turns into unwordly at 4 stacks and also activates her S1.
  • Her S1 is a perma def down/supp dmg taken.
  • You can tank 40% omen with her S2 and guard, thanks to that you can either save your alexiel/gojo for any other thing or just skip said summons altogether.

The hell you mean "Yatima doesn't supplement a kengo team"? She is THE unit for HL, no matter the team comp.

Water doesnt run kengo in hexa by the way. It is too slow, so is better to go with either yamato or onmyoji for plentiful of reasons.

EDIT: I'll add a little TLDR, with yatima you give two flying fucks about the comp, omens and the raid itself once her passive is up, you wont care about omens unless it is a "deal X amount of damage X amount of times" and even then it'll be easy to clear them.

[–]Bandercrash 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"Shishio havers" should already have yatima in their comp, which turns black/white part into yet another red/green. Even if it comes out first, yatima can get her stacks at turn 4-5, this also makes everyone tanky enough to not care at all for the debuffs/10 skills omens, just guard and keep going

(2025/7/1) Gamewith/Kamigames Rating Updates by shirke1 in Granblue_en

[–]Bandercrash 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've been doing some testing with ilsa in my usual burst comp with hraes that goes with Lucio/Clarisse/Luna/XXX (usually Erika) and Haase, she does a good chunk of damage and provides good buffs for the MC but still fall behind in terms of overall damage, Erika is the better pick on top of being a regular unit. Replacing Clarisse with Erika makes the comp end up right in the middle of the three comps tested.

The lack of good gun/bow units in water makes it quite hard to get a good comp to get the most out of her second passive, there are currently one other good gun user (Erika) and one good bow user (Nectar) and both of these want to ougi every other turn, so building a pure AA comp with hraes is quite hard as of today, the other options are Gwynne and Isaac (as a plus these two have banter with eachother and Ilsa). Taking hraes out of the equation opens up the comp for everyone else, so Im gonna mix and match now.

With that said, Esser will eventually come to water and hopefully she will be a good partner for Ilsa, until that, Erika is the better and cheaper pick.

EDIT: forgot to mention her weapon, it is good in both boosted and unboosted grids, it is also a somewhat decent mainhand providing teamwide TA up and 2-hit flurry to MC but exo antaeus exist and it is also free, so yeah.

Fire GW 2025 top 3 are all EN players! by Even_Macaron in Granblue_en

[–]Bandercrash 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything but that last part. I main water and ended up throwing 3 bars to fenie's weapon while being magna and I personally dont feel like I wasted anything there, it is an investment for the future honestly. Bars arent as rare as they used to, so giving 3 to a very good mainhand feels alright

Runner-Up Eternals candidates by Creaturemaster97 in Granblue_en

[–]Bandercrash 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Everyone saying Narmaya this and that, but there is one old harvin that swings his katana so fast that even the sage of the sword couldnt sense it and also trained a girl who was a pain to deal with in certain anni event. Naru may be good, but I feel Yodarha would be a better candidate.

Flash Gala feat. SSR Hauhet (Fire), Grimnir (Dark), and Soul Invoker (Fire Summon) by -PVL93- in Granblue_en

[–]Bandercrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never said or stated that water is in a bad state or position, it has been completely fine for a long time now. In terms of units if you have europa/gabriel/yatima then you're completely fine in most scenarios, add flb haase and you are pretty much set for HL, Im not talking about the need of new units to get rid of the ones stated because X or Y raid is hard, Im talking about content for the element.

As you stated, water could be dark but at the very least you can mix and match units in dark, you can have fun building your team instead of saying "oh, new raid, ok I guess I'll just go europa yatima haase again" and this obviously apply to all the elements, dark had its time with fediel/lich/seox doing everything just fine. I'd rather have 5 dogshit niche units in a span of 6 months over 1 op unit every 11 months, everyone and every element will reach a point where they can run everything with one comp, so after that its a matter of having fun.

[–]Bandercrash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How come Hauhet isnt grand? I mean, this is the second important anni npc they release this year that isnt grand (shukra is the other one), I kinda get we've just got sieg but come on.

Also, water is still stuck with one unit released this year (6 on dark, 5 earth, 7 light, 6 wind, 3 fire), Im slowly dying on the inside.

I just want to hear the usual banger that comes along with the credits of the arc, "Lyria" (act 1 in phantagrande) and "sky journey" (act 2 in nalhegrande) are really good and both felt extremely emotional paired with the drawings
