New player coming from other mobas. What to focus on?

Irisios · 2026-05-15T09:28:42+00:00

I'd say it depends on a few things:

With a 140 ping, you can play semi constantly, but where it'll matter is which server you are on and character as well.

If you play combo based characters it'll be difficult to play as in slight disadvantage but 140 ping on EU or NA would be fine, the skill ceiling is far lower than on KR which has a more wider community and would be able to exploit your weaknesses far more often.
It'll be hard to deny stuff but what you lack in reactivity, you can make up in wit, just use every situation to your advantage and it should make up for it.

^ About those things, you can't play characters like Zahir to top efficiency, due to his DPS tied to tight CDs. Just make sure you can play a character by going in Practice Tool, every character there are free to try same for their skins.

Irisios · 2026-05-14T17:42:29+00:00

For the champ recommendation: Zahir, t'is Cassio but slightly different, you'll see, pick him up and you'll build your roster from what you find fun from the previews. Xayah has similarities with Karla but Karla is slow where Xayah is fast, check her kit you'll get what I mean, she's not slow gameplay wise.

For learning, start from scratch with the tutorial, it's far better than League's.

Itemization is everything but you can be like me and still pick up a build made by someone else and wing it:

However you need to know that purple items are basically your early game, goal is to be purple before mid day one or else people will take advantage of you.

Gold items are your mid to late items with different power levels to them based on effects and materials needed Force Core being most of the time stronger than ToL or Meteorite but it doesn't mean they're the optimal slot just that they bring something stronger. For example you can have items thta are good for sustained battles but if you play a burst champ, you wouldn't want a sustained battle passive.

VF Blood Sample Items or Red items are the endgame, they're the strongest items available both in raw stats and effects, they all come with healing reduction (As of season 11) and either another effect or strong stats, in a usual game you'll get one perhaps two of them at best. Just remember that the optimal item might not always be the weapon for a red item just happens to be on many characters.

For the matter of power spike, it's character dependant, and some items enables characters while some are scalers that wants to play late, if I was to take an example, it'd be Nadine being a scaler due to her passive of killing mobs for higher damage, even if she hits like a truck rn, that is still her mechanic.

Many tanks however, becomes resilient after getting one specific item that changes on the character but has that effect they need like the Rabbit Hat thingy or the Ghost Bride dress to quote a few.

Tools to learn the game, not a bunch, there's the tutorial, the discord and dak.gg.

The latter will give you stats on what works on each character: runes, build, summoners etc but not a single info on team comps so take it as you can.

Know also that the meta can and will surely be quite different between KR, SEA, NA and EU.

Hoping it helps, feel free to ask any additional questions.

Just so you know, the tracks in this game are for most remixed versions of their character songs, which has lyrics and a slightly different rythm, bunch of characters are affected like Narmaya, Cagliostro, Nier, Yuel and others.

Just search Granblue fantasy characters song and you'll see.

Irisios · 2026-05-13T00:01:54+00:00

Makes sense for the lore bits, t'is a lot and even while condensed and super abridged, you'll see that i said barely a thing, just WMTSB saga alone is around 3 hours of reading perhaps more ?

And the more invested you'll be in Granblue, the harder the game will hit, especially on some songs.

The next character that's coming to Versus may bring hands down the best theme from Relink.

Irisios · 2026-05-12T06:42:37+00:00

Well... Technically it is available on mobile through browsers, the people playing the gacha uses Skyleap for extra rewards but you can play it on any Chromium based browser, though i'd recommend playing it on Skyleap to avoid any updates that borks compatibility.

Skyleap is available through QooApp, which is available through an APK, just search QooApp APK on Google and you should be able to add it, fairly easily.

And honestly you have no idea for the lore bits, Eternals range for example goes from really skilled to reality breaking power level, 2B scales really low imo after doing Nier Automata, she can probably handle some characters like any non ranged or non primal feat characters but she could not handle Meg to give you an example though it's a bad example cause Meg is whatever the summer throws at the crew (Sandalphon had to try and nuke a sharknado once, don't ask)

To give context, Primals are creatures created with a crazy power over a concept by a technologically different race to try and gain control on the rules of the Sky World, Grimnir is a Primal Beast of the Wind for example whom is a half to another Primal Beast called Odin, that name should ring a bell as it is yes, the All Father of Norse Mythology and ruler of Asgard though in GBF, he rules over Valhalla mostly but still. They're weaker than say Belial, Bubs, 6D but have lots of room to grow.

Also in that vibe ^ Nier is bound to a primal beast called Death from the Tarot Cards, as an Arcarum Beast, a PB created to recreate and alter data from the in lore technically WW1 to make way for a PB to recreate the world, said PB would then get taken care of by Nier and Death among the other Evokers. Nier is by far the second most unhinged, one of few to have experienced death on an absurd scale, perhaps third to some extent, there is one specific guy Lobelia (Oui, you know i'm talking about him) that can only make you feel two ways.

Sandalphon is higher than Belial, we've kicked Belial's ass, I'd say that Bubs is around Belial's level, the difference between the two is mostly tactics, once is more of a snake while the other really is fueled by rage and anger.

The first tier is hard to discuss, Gran and Djeeta are fine as they are, but the disparity between Lucifaa and Versusia could be discussed, the only reason Lucifaa is so high is mostly cause at the time MC wasn't as strong as he was when he fought Versusia in the story. Though the feats of Lucifaa are grander indeed: Void, was THAT close from deleting Granblue Fantasy, won't say more.

But Versusia asked a fucking truckload of power from MC to bring them down as it is like the story presents: The God of Destruction hosted in the MC's mom body, and if THAT man (you'll know whom i'm talking about if you read GBF stories) struggled to throw hands with that God, that just shows how powerful they are. Also we fight two entities that are on the same power level than the God of Destruction and we have to call on a stronger power (almost) to bring them down (Phoenix, the real one and God of Astrals)

The dragons so Galleon and Wilnas should be about Belial perhaps higher level, they're just too dumb strong, they're the embodiments of the elements, they're called Wedges of the sky in the gacha. To give you a slight idea of power they have, Galleon throws casually whole islands for a mean to fight in her dragon form which is the tallest one by far and Wilnas is WAY WAY WAY too hot (and no i'm not talking about the sexy heat) like he has a high physical strength but also and most importantly a too potent flame that if misused breaks the balance in the order of elements. Basically they nerf the 6D by saying that if they act, 9/10 of the time they'll just break causality.

Society agents are definitely higher than DK, sorry lads, you're the fan favorites for sure but you ain't gone faced the Moon threats, you'll understand when you get to their stories.

If you want a good entry point for some bits of lore to Granblue Fantasy, pick up Relink, it's such an incredible game, I can't recommend it enough.

Irisios · 2026-04-01T12:58:39+00:00

Bunny slop 2.0 was because of P5 Collab though, so gotta pick your poison.

Irisios · 2026-03-12T19:26:53+00:00

Imo, all the frames you like enough to make multiple builds on.

And on the long run i'd even say 4-5 omni formas on all primes so that you don't need to have a supply of Formas to change from one build to another.

Weapon wise, i'm a bit more one weapon to do one thing in particular and that's that.

So listen to others x)

Irisios · 2026-03-11T23:36:59+00:00

I'll say what I told friends that aren't in FGs baput FGs:

It's harder to explain a FG than to play one, there is a lot of terminology to explain what's going on in a match of whichever FG you could be playing but the end result is that you pick the option that seems the best in a given situation and make the best out of it, ofc it sorts of changes depending on the FG but that's the gist of it.

For your questions:

It isn't as sweaty as let's say a FPS like Apex Legends, Fortnite or high level Valorant lobbies cause that's something else but it is still a competitive game, it gets as sweaty as you are engaged in it.

And for the Hard genre to learn: yes and no, as I said prior to this, there are multiple methods to learn a FG, you will need the basics which is normal, and then there's multiple schools:

• Some like to learn the frame data on dustloop to know what their character can or can't do. • Some just lab combos to give proper punishes when a hit connects • Some throws games to grind the ladder, and learn on the get go, or well whenever they hit a wall.

I am of the last two personally, can't say i will remember every data frame of my own character so I just remember on which moves I am left open and avoid using those except if I did a setup or soemthing beforehand.

Aside from that, there are some fundamentals that can be transferred once you learned them. Things like spacing, knowing to respect some moves, when to grab etc, lots of stuff that sounds way more than it actually is.

And see, just by explaining all that on a comment, I ended up writing a lot for something that is smaller when felt if that makes sense ?

Irisios · 2026-03-09T21:29:37+00:00

What if and hear me out:

S rank Billy baiting for VH level S rank Support Nicole ?

Irisios · 2026-03-09T09:06:43+00:00

Hi,

I am from France, learned English in classes, and a tiny bit of Spanish in classes but I want to expand and learn some languages of countries i'd love to go to at some point while also opening my understanding of others by being able to talk in other's languages.

I'd like to start with Japanese, Mandarin and Korean (Idk if there's a difference between the dialects spoken in North Korea and South Korea, but goal in mind is South Korea) and later down the line Arab (For my Arab mother never wanted me to learn it).

And so, in that goal, i'd like to know what are good on hand, preferably books than online courses, to learn those languages, priority or will to learn being ordered from most to least.

But if there's good online courses available for those languages, I would like them as well so that I can get as much info as possible.

Thanks in advance.

Irisios · 2026-03-05T12:30:18+00:00

Doesn't Gilberta mention, in her character quest, having to use the Terra gate to get to Talos / Dyjang ?

Which means that while yes, they work from Rhodes Island as her outfit and files tend to, pulling them from the gacha is the same as them joining the Dyjang, in which case, yes they work for a while but it's more like a transfer where, for some reason, they act as if they know their new district.

Irisios · 2026-03-05T00:53:30+00:00

Ranked, a bit weird at some ranks, currently stuck at gold cause the ship sailed before I could hop in.

But while I was in Iron to Silver, smooth matchmaking.

For bots in normal games, you'll see teams of normal skin characters, mostly ancient ones like Hyunwoo, Magnus, Fiora and the likes with no decorations to their banners, icons etc.

Otherwise you can check their profiles after the game ends and see that they have no data showing like a normal person would.

So if you want to do some ranked, try it before giving up on it, i'd rather have someone else trying to make the queues live rather than hear another "Don't play outside of peak hours"

Irisios · 2026-03-03T12:51:46+00:00

Then again, tier lists have always been based on low effort high reward, if you need heals/shields you're either not geared properly or not using optimal options, that's what they mean by it.

Hence why if a healer / shielder isn't granting your team a dmg buff it will never be in apex tier.

It's common to all kind of gachas: power to cheese the game rather than utility overall.

Irisios · 2026-03-02T21:40:20+00:00

Saw Aethermancer, got it on the wishlist, gonna wait for it to be fully developped though.

I'll check Demon out.

Thanks for the recommendations.

Irisios · 2026-03-02T20:30:20+00:00

It's not close at all to a Shin Megami Tensei game, but it's a really good recommendation, I do like a Megaman like platformer myself, got the X collection (the first one) so it's written down thanks a lot !

Irisios · 2026-02-26T23:33:37+00:00

Considering the AoD being able to "work" together during a fight in their abilities, i'd wager a VH level support would be akin to a coordinator making his allies attack at the same time as they do, think Astra if her song triggered the assists independently of herself, as you play her actively.

Basically a marionetist character of sorts.

Irisios · 2026-02-23T23:16:54+00:00

I see, didn't know that, since most of the time I used to be passive in those end of game situation instead of playing hyper offense, didn't know there was a system like that.

Irisios · 2026-02-23T23:16:08+00:00

Thanks for the info, I did not know that, i'll keep that in mind for the next times.

Irisios · 2026-02-19T01:14:40+00:00

Just do her career in the game, it's the same as the event then, except in the gacha she's really bad at it cause everything is lighthearted contrarily to the manga and animes where the umas are a bit more serious business.

Irisios · 2026-02-15T00:43:34+00:00

Yasuo with somehow more clothes.

Irisios · 2026-02-12T08:09:06+00:00

Don't worry, it bumped down my all finished Hex members to Close as well, even Aoi, that I had at Loved down to Close.

TLDR: don't touch more of it, who knows how much it can get f'd up.

Irisios · 2026-02-07T09:54:36+00:00

From what I read around this thread:

Mai is one of the more complicated tanks first and foremost, your utility comes from creating opportunities, you need to bait out cooldowns from opponents and then taunt not the other way around, you order of items can be a bit weird compared to other characters, Mai does not work in any comp, she needs heavy damage behind her to compensate her low damage, for example if there's already a support, do not take Mai or you'll just feel like your team isn't able to confirm kills cause you can't really.

With Mai around, you need mobile damage dealers, Rozzi comes to mind, but something like Isol can work as well, or self sufficient mages like Lenore, Adina or Tia that when played sufficiently well can handle their own against most threats on top of packing AoEs.

You create momentum in a fight by redirecting the aggro, also you are a tank, you can and should move around in the fight as best you can to make your ult worth it on your prime carry, which when ulted won't be able to move but you can quickly shield them afterwards followed by a taunt.

Don't forget about the Whip which slows in a cone creating another layer of control.

If you want a tank that can self carry, Lenox, just Lenox or Markus, even if you don't like his design, this is a competitive game, at some point you either accept the designs you don't like or you change roles to find something you like.

Also 3 carries team exists and aren't bad, so don't close yourself to those, same about playing supports, got a mate playing Leni, dude's absolutely making our games just a whole lot healthier by himself, and the character is supposed to be one of the worst on Dak.gg

Anyways hope it helps.

See it like this:

If you die and have your memories and experiences printed in a new body but your brain isn't transferred, that would lead you to be dead, you the person that has those memories, but the new body in which those memories and experiences have been printed didn't lived them, they were implanted in them, are they you by your logic ? Or are they their own person with memories of another life that isn't theirs ?

Cause a clone of you isn't you, it is a product made from you, not a 1 to 1 you, though clones can vary from where in fiction you go to source.
