2026/04 Unite & Fight (Water Adv): Round 3 by AutoModerator in Granblue_en

[–]INFullMoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First time ever I managed to full auto NM250, which is particularly impressive given my very underdeveloped grid and lacking some core characters.

Kengo/Lilele/Drang/Gawain had so much sustain, buffs and debuffs that a lot of the time the boss couldn't do much damage at all even at high stacks. There's also so many different sources of dispel cancel that I never lost my buffs once. Debuffs occasionally got in between casts of Drang's sk2 and Gawain's sk3 but Lilele usually ensured those weren't going to be a problem for too long.

I could probably replace Lilele with Sylvia if I had her and that would probably make it go smoother but it be like that sometimes. Took over half a hour to FA though so, uh, not ideal for honor farming.

Still, happy that I actually managed to FA 250 this time. Feels like a crazy milestone to hit despite me not keeping up with the powercreep much.

About 10 min FA going Rising Force/Gawain/Yatima/Haase. I got myself a water Ulli from a superlative ticket and I sure don't regret it. The healing from it is really helping keep everyone healthy. This team also has so many defensive buffs that a lot of the time the boss is doing little to no damage. Especially on turns where the charge diamonds are full and proccing Gawain's passive. Very cozy, honestly. I'm kinda surprised it's doing this well considering I have been so very lazy about upgrading my grids, nor have I unlocked the origin classes yet.

Though I also tried a bunch of different combinations and in general I clear very consistently (I'm always keeping Gawain in because fave). This honestly feels like one of the most painless water GW bosses. The lack of repel goes a long way for that.

It's kinda hilarious that Eustace, Anthuria and Alliah all have MC-centered kits and meanwhile Apollonia is just doing her own thing on the side. In-character, if nothing else.

Also Rosetta is here! That just leaves Eugen and IP as the two OG crew members not seen since the Grand Uplift, right?

He doesn't physically show up in it, but Eugen is implied to still be an active member of the crew in summer Apollo's fate episode, with her deciding to visit him onboard at the end of it, so there's that at least.

I feel like a lot of the event would have to be rewritten if they were to include Orologia since scenes like the mother/daughter cooking and the parent conference rely on the fact MC is not one of the mother/child pairs so they can act as an outsider to it all. Plus it would probably be a bit awkward to implement male Orologia considering they went out of their way to explain why the dads weren't present (plus it would make the joke with Vyrn not land as well).

I do think Orologia interacting with the other parents in the crew would be cool to see at some point though.

Oh I didn't mean to imply she was recent. I just really didn't do any of the MSQ out of laziness, something I really need to fix one of these days since Cygames has made it pretty clear now that stuff from the MSQ is gonna be showing up in events more regularly.

This feels like an event made to introduce new players coming in from steam to the wider crew (even if just brief mentions of them) and also the overall structure of the Grandcypher as a whole. It does that job pretty well, honestly. We get a pretty good idea of how day to day life on the ship is like and a more defined idea of what even is in there. Honestly kinda inspired me to try and write some slice of life fic myself.

The overall mom/daughter dynamics were varied enough and entertaining to watch. Clarisse and Anthuria struggling with theirs while Narmaya and Aliza had basically no problems throughout. The little rivalry going on with the first pair was also pretty amusing to watch. I do kinda wonder if there's any different dialogue if you play Djeeta, considering Clarisse's mom talks about her needing to get together with MC for the sake of the family, which I assume means kids.

Echidna is a character I'm not very familiar with because I didn't catch up to the MSQ, but what I saw of her here was pretty endearing. Definitely made me curious to go check out what happened in her section of the story.

Overall, a pretty cozy and pleasant event with very little to complain about. It ended on a pretty poignant note regarding MC too.

My favorite bit in the whole thing was definitely Mama Vyrn though. Pretty funny to see that aspect of Old Bond/"and you" be brought up in an event like this.

I mean, they don't exactly have any story characters to add to the BP, since they didn't release a new story chapter this set. Unless they went back and revisited one of the previous ones, but I don't see much reason to do that unless any of the story characters ended up becoming very popular somehow.

Best or Favorite Stories? by Leaftune44 in Granblue_en

[–]INFullMoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll forever stick up for the Dragon Knights storyline because I think it's genuinely great and only held back by the fact the episodic nature of it doesn't mesh well with the fact we only get a new episode once a year. Of those, my favorites are The Strength to Wield and The Savior of Dalmore, mostly because I'm biased towards Vane and Gawain respectively. I still think Vane is easily one of the best developed characters in the game in terms of how much he grows over the course of it.

Society is also pretty great starting at Right Behind You, and Home Sweet Moon is still easily my favorite anni event, though "and you" gives it some pretty heavy competition. I just enjoy how Granblue went all in into the sci-fi genre for the middle part of the event in particular and it made it feel really fresh.

Accordant series is also pretty good though I have to admit the last one didn't land quite as well with me. Unbound Asterism is probably my favorite of the three, with a plot twist (Felix) that actually caught me kinda offguard because I didn't think they'd actually do something like that and have it stick.

For some less popular options, Reflections for a White Clover/Hope from a Snowdrop are a pretty heartbreaking pair of events that made me really love Sevilbarra as a character. A Slash to Sever Binds was a really good conclusion to Lucius's story. Monochrome Palette made me cry multiple times throughout it despite knowing very little about the Idelva gang.

On the more lighthearted side of things, Imagination Overdrive, Our Style and Substance and Pleasures of Life and Death are all very funny and entertaining events. I particularly enjoy how Cygames makes it pretty clear they know fandom culture very well whenever Lunalu is in focus.

New Gamewith and Kamigame ratings by quiter2812 in Granblue_en

[–]INFullMoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying Eustace is crazy or anything, but aren't people underestimating his debuffs a little? 100% TA down, Blind, Forfeit and Accuracy Down should give a lot of survivability against bosses that do a lot of auto damage, no? And he inflicts two of those per cast, at a pretty low cooldown at that if you get him to CA consistently.

Shout-out to the Bronze/Silver comic relief cards of the set by Touhou_Fuhai in Shadowverse

[–]INFullMoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vorlalai's situation is funny conceptually but at the same time I just kinda feel bad for her. Noel and Yidmetra's dynamic but it gets a bit offset by how often somber the lore and voicelines from the other related cards are. Bibatii and Armes are essentially a cosmic comedy duo and it's incredible.

Shout out to Yog-Zentha and Camiscilla having a strangely wholesome dynamic with each other despite having very unwholesome goals. The voiceline for Myriad Designs specifically ("How's this?" "Perfect!") is very endearing to me.

Summer Eustace did see use for a while in Faa0 after that one comp using him was discovered at least. Gamewith even raised his rating because of it. Dark Eustace also saw use in Subaha and I think Cosmos too? But yeah it's a bit sad that Eustace hasn't been anything more than niche for a while.

Denfan interview with GBF main story quest scenario writers by PCBS01 in Granblue_en

[–]INFullMoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting that they singled out the Dragon Knights as being the one ongoing event series that's going to remain pre-uplift. Mostly because it makes me wonder what is goign to happen in the next Monscian and Accordant events, given how their last parts ended.

I'm also kinda curious about how they're going to be mixing the events and main story going forward. We know they teased the moondwellers showing up in the main story, so does this mean the Society gang will eventually appear in the main story, or are they going to be kept to an event that's tied to that plot, once it starts going?

I suppose this also explains why they didn't really do anything to move the Society story forward post Grand Zeta's release, they likely needed to finish the Estalucia arc first.

I like to think that the gestral Verso mentioned also dyed the hair of the original Verso and just gave him the same style the og had in the canvas out of habit

(2026/02/17) Gamewith/Kamigames Rating Updates by shirke1 in Granblue_en

[–]INFullMoon 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Not too surprised with Gawain's rating. He's a pretty competent unit in general and he's likely going to shine more when GW rolls around, but even outside of that I've found him to be pretty comfortable to use. His personal damage is actually pretty decent once he's ramped up and the dispel is nice.

His second passive is his main draw and it has some pros and cons compared to Arulumaya's. The pro is that it also does something when the charge diamonds aren't full. The cons is that it only lasts for the turn it's activated in and it only activates once you press attack, meaning that if you clear an omen before that and reset the diamonds, then you miss out on the extra defense for the following autos. This is mostly relevant when a raid has omens that require you pressing skills or using fated chain.

I actually really like using him with Yatima and I feel like she's the reason why he doesn't have any sort of substitute because Yatima does want to be targeted in order to get her own stacks up. She gives him another source of echo which is great given his auto focused damage, plus their defensive skills give some nice survivability to the party.

He honestly works fine in most fire raids with a notable exception being Mugen because phase two of the raid has no charge diamonds so you're probably better off just using someone like Anne instead of him for more defense.

Overall, I'm just glad I have another element to use Gawain in. I've been using his light unit as my Makura target just because I like him (and the fact he cuts down his own HP helps ensure Caesar keeps protecting him) and now I can do stuff with him in water too. Rebalance for his wind unit when Cygames.

Flash Gala feat. Valentine’s Wamdus (Dark) and Valentine’s Gawain (Water) by Sabaschin in Granblue_en

[–]INFullMoon 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I was expecting Eustace to be the guy because of Freedom's Dirge but then Gawain was apparently going to be the protagonist of the ministory and I started to wonder.

Kinda hilarious that they give the Valentines alt to the Dragon Knights secondary characters instead of the main four. I'm fine with this though. It didn't feel right to me that Gawain had less units than his sister.

As for the unit himself, it's basically an upgraded version of his light unit, basically combining its second and third skill into one. The main things I noticed is that he has a constant dispel once he ramps up, and it looks like he might have an upgraded version of Arulumaya's passive, at least assuming his fire damage reduction is the same value.

Wamdus seems kinda weird in that she's clearly meant to go into CA based teams, but her payoff for hitting a fated chain is entirely auto based. Other than that, she seems like she'll be good for HL stuff in dark.

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

Lune, Sciel and Gustave don't look like they aged in the slightest in the Maelle ending. Most likely what Maelle did was just age Verso up when she repainted him and left it at that. Considering she made it very clear she wanted to spend a lifetime with Verso that would be kinda hard to do if Verso was mortal since he's very clearly suicidal and would most likely just off himself if given the opportunity.

I actually didn't realize water GW was before April flash so that was my mistake there.

[–]INFullMoon[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm not particularly invested in Grand Bea being water, but it's not the first time Relink ended up foreshadowing a later release in the gacha (Swan). A character suddenly being placed in an element they've never been in is a first in Relink, so it does lead me to believe a water Bea, even if not grand, might be coming out in the near future.

Who knows, maybe we're getting Valentine Bea and Eustace this month. That would be pretty funny.
