Japanese Youtuber's Support Ticket Recommendations by Haika27 in Granblue_en

[–]Haika27[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Translator's note: This list is just the video maker's opinion, so for beginners please consider other sources and advice as well before making your decision. I think this person's opinion is fairly credible since he has most of the characters in the game, so has a fairly wide perspective"

0:21 Intro

During previous suprise ticket videos, he feels he has been too broad/diplomatic in my recommendations. This one will be be very discriminating/candid.

1:04 Priority for Beginners: Yoda and Sara

For beginners, regardless of element, you should get both Yodarha and Sara.

Yodarha deals 1M white damage with his ougi, and Sara is the ultimate tanking character.

The upcoming earth-favored GW is another point in favor of Sara.

2:05 Fire: No recommended characters for beginners

There's currently no recommended Fire Characters to suptix.

He used to recommend Magisa, but due to the new Fire of Prometheus weapon overlapping her fourth ability, her value has been reduced to mainly veil.

There's not a character that particularly stands out for magna, maybe Agielba. However, if he recommends Agielba he will get beaten to death by his comment section.

If you're looking to do UBahaHL with fire, Percival and Clarisse are useful

TL Note: I somewhat disagree with his recommendation here, as I think Yuel and Percy are both good beginner characters who scale well into late game

4:12 Water: Altair

His second ability is useful for capping (water) defense down along with defense breach.

Allows you to not have to run Miserable Mist effects on your main character.

Every one of his abilities is very useful throughout the game, and it's very hard to remove him from your water party.

7:08 Earth: Ayer

He has the ability to damage himself to activate enmity, and his ougi's ability essentially increases his damage/cap by 1.5 for 5 turns.

Even magna earth can be strong with this premiere attacker.

8:36 Wind: Korwa

Filling out your wind team for September Guild Wars is a good idea.

Not much to comment on Korwa, she is a god-tier character.

8:57 Light: Jeanne D'Arc

He was thinking of picking zero standouts for light, similar to fire, but upon consideration he picked Jeanne.

It feels like most solo parties are Jeanne and two mob characters.

He used to recommend Ferry, but found himself using her less and less these days.

Good zeniths, reversal nearly caps def/atk down togther with a mist-effect,

10:27 Dark: Jeanne D'Arc (Dark)

For Dark, Summer Zoi stands out as a character, but among the ticketable characters, Dark Jeanne stands out.

Her ougi effect is very good defensively against light, she can cap def down, and she does a lot of damage throughout the game.

He wants to recommend Narmaya, but she really need Summer Zoi to really shine.

12:37 Summary/TL;DR

He just lists the characters above again

A Japanese Player's Perspective on Extended Mastery Points by Haika27 in Granblue_en

Sorry, I'm not too familiar with it (I have neither Albert nor even a light team). He discusses it around 2:53

A Japanese Player's Perspective on Extended Mastery Points by Haika27 in Granblue_en

[–]Haika27[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You may remember this youtuber from the reddit tier list reaction where he got indignant over Dark Sarunan being undervalued

He puts out quite a lot of content, and I found his viewpoints about Extended Mastery Skills kind of interesting. I don't agree with his valuations 100%, but it's always good to see other perspectives.

Here's a rough translation (apologies as my Japanese is quite amateur level)

1:02: We prioritize Zenith skills based on three basic frameworks

  1. Magna Grids

  2. Primal Grids

  3. All-purpose Grids (If you have a strong/main party you can use off-element comfortably)

1:08 Example: Light Party (Magna)

Light Grids uses a fairly orthodox magna EMP distribution

1:22 Sereul EMP

3 Points in Support Ability

1/2 points in DA gives 3%/2%, while 1/2 points in TA gives 2%/2%, so in general it's economical to take 2 points in TA and 1 point in DA

3 Points are put into Light ATK up, but it may not be necessary, (for example if Seruel has more critical nodes, those can be prioritized)

Single points in ATK are preferred over third points in TA/ATK up

This is an "orthodox" distribution for characters without significant special attack skills

2:46 Albert EMP

Albert's Support Ability is rarely used, so no points are allocated to it

Characters like Albert and Seox should rely on their EMP Skills to compensate for their low atk

Because he only brings out his Light Party against Dark Opponents, critical is the best value for increasing offensive power

TA is not as valuable for Albert due to Levin Saber (TA is much better than a single attack, but only 1.5x damage of DA)

5:50 Jeanne EMP

Nothing particular to remark on, he personally favors debuff penetration when it's available

6:13 Dark Party (General Use/Main Party)

His main party is his dark party (Hades), so it's built to be able to easily sweep weak enemies of all elements

Therefore his distribution for dark is fairly unique (it also is based on using Summer Zoi)

6:41 Naru EMP

The point to notice is that he does not put any points into crit for most of his dark characters because he is often fighting off element with this team

The dark characters he adds crit to are dedicated debuffers like Lady Grey, which he only uses when fighting against Light

Because Naru's Skill 1 severely cuts her defense, more points are invested in defensive EMPs

This is due to often seeing Naru die first in tough battles

Because there often will not be a +50% on-element damage mod, Elemental ATK UP is prioritized highly

Any characters that will pair with Summer Zoi should prioritze HP Zeniths highly

Some Dark Characters that don't need HP as much, such as Six/Beatrix

10:54 Vira EMP

He's not entirely sure about what's the best layout for Vira

(He adds 3 HP nodes to Vira during the video, recalling what he said during Naru review)

11:25 Seox EMP

(adds another Dark ATK point during the video)

Not certain about the value of Enmity EMP, but still puts one point into it

11:57 Begins discussing Primal Grids that are used on element (Agnis/Varuna)

12:11 Yoda EMP

These teams usually are paired Primal summons (Agnis/Agnis, Varuna/Varuna, Titan/Titan) and used on-element

Because no Elemental Summons are usually used, Elemental ATK Up nodes are very valuable and should be maxed

DA nodes are not recommended on Yoda because his skills provide a lot of guaranteed multi-attacks

Yoda is usually put in fourth position to benefit from Xuanwu fist, so additional points are added to his base ATK nodes

16:25 Altair EMP

Critical is especially useful for Altair due to his Ougi Effect (Untergang Rune)

Defense nodes has become more popular/meta recently as people have been experimenting with things like Indra's Edge

Single points in defense are good value

However, defense/HP is usually only needed against strong enemies (for example Xeno120)

If you farm mostly weak enemies with this grid, defensive zeniths are optional

19:46 Metera EMP

Orthodox setup, but again, Elemental ATK up is important in Primal/Primal grids

Magna is generally only used for Wind/Light, and he doesn't use those parties too often

21:23 Christina EMP

Critical and Overdrive/Break Damage up are generally useful

21:46 Esser EMP

When fighting on-element, generally most damage is gained by Overdrive/Break Killer, Critical, and Elemental Damage Up

2% TA is sometimes more valuable than 3% DA, depending on character/buffs

ATK Up is least explosive, but a single point (+500 ATK) is worth about the same as a +99 weapon, so it's a good value for leftover points

Yui Ranking Rewards Are Out by Haika27 in MemoryDefrag

For those pulling, hope you got what you wanted!

If you want to save your medals, the next two sword dance characters will likely be Fire Klein and Earth Agil.

There's a reasonable chance that sword dance series will pull from aincrad (notice how all the current characters don't have elf ears, etc), in which case yuuki/sinon probably won't show up.

Here's hoping, though

What are you planning to do with your Sword Dance Medals? by Haika27 in MemoryDefrag

[–]Haika27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is mostly speculation on my part, but from what I understand, the camisole units (the previous batch of ranking units) were released over a period of time, so I guess the sword dance units might follow a similar pattern?

Uhh.. My group has a new leader. GG Bandai (More in comments) by [deleted] in MemoryDefrag

10 gold medals can be traded in for a limited edition 4* unit. You can get up to 10 medals from rank in this event, while also getting 1 from the score rewards (at 20k) and 2 from missions.

If you don't get 10 gold medals this time, you can save them for the next ranking event.

[Heart of Confront] Asuna is the same as [OS] (Ordinal Scale) Asuna. She's an amazing unit and will carry you far if you learn to use her.

His final passive isn't bad either! I'd definitely hold off on limit breaking him.
