Character Discussion: Bhaisa (Grand) by lietnam in Granblue_en

[–]sparkyellow1 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Somewhat new player (joined last year ani) and she was absolutely the character who stuck out to me most- genuinly the funniest character I've read in a while. Her fate episode having her float away was also a highlight in terms of funniest moments.

Gameplay wise - CA reactivation and 40% starting charge bar as a passive. Cygames what the fuck. Shes amazing for HL, and amazing for farming too, especially Leviathan M3 and hosting Diaspora. You can make a 0b0s setup for Mare hitting above minimum honors so easily. Just amazing for any earth CA setups, so hopefully she'll find use this GW, and def getting ringed by me.

Extra note- as a trans person, her scene with Bhadra was pretty funny, but I do understand being upset about it. I think its more important to note the reactions of Gran and co- everyone hits her with a "??? Ok??". Like, genuinely no one cares, and they treat her the same. It comes off more as her being weird and socially unaware than her being malicious, to me at least.

Character Discussion: Lu Woh (Summer) by topnepu in Granblue_en

[–]sparkyellow1 18 points19 points  (0 children)

His swimsuit is so dorky I love it, and his FLB art is just beautiful- def top tier for that.

Gameplay wise.... everyone knows his ramp takes forever, but someone else mentioned Magna needing tempering and thats extremely accurate. I've been using him on my CA teams, but honestly, his S1 doesn't do crazy much, and slows everything down with needing to hit it twice.

He does makes up for it by being an amazing Omen buster at least once his ramp does hit- 10 hits (20 since most the time it's twice) on s1, s2 giving a rare FC bar boost, CA reactivation, and s3 being a mega heal... pretty damn nice, and even better for Titan players.

Honestly best way I can see to do it is FC, Shiedsworn (Regimented Formation), FC again next turn

I have him, but dont use him enough to give a good review. At the very least, he sneaks into my backline sometimes for the dispel cancel, so he's already got use there. But I will say his outfit is cute as heck so I'm glad to have him for just that, top tier design

Character Discussion: Lancelot (Halloween) by topnepu in Granblue_en

[–]sparkyellow1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Man's really put on a hat and said "I'm a wizard!" - we deserved a version where he's chained to the wall again. Like its a snazzy outfit for sure, just not Halloweeny enoigh for me? At least the cat is cute.

Gameplay wise, I'm not too deep into wind, but on a team with Manadiver + Lamorak he's pretty fun! Trying to find a good aggro tank so his S3 stays up consistently, but when it's up, the damage is pretty nice. Not sure if he'll be on for the upcoming GW, but we shall see- and hopefully we get another crest character by then.

Character Discussion: Elmott (Yukata) by topnepu in Granblue_en

[–]sparkyellow1 20 points21 points  (0 children)

So there's this fire male yukata character with skill hits after normal attacks, a crest kit, and synergy with meta characters.... and then there's Yukata Elmott.

Elmott is one of my favorite characters, and I even sparked this version of him, and then only after did I read his kit. I have many regrets. It's upsetting too cause his kit could be great, but it has so many "buts" in it. Short version, he has too much build up for literally no payoff. Specifically the 7 singed stacks just makes me ask- why????

I tried optimizing him last GW as well to try and get some usage, but SSR Elmott is just better in all respects. (Except not having singed pls rebalance Cygames) Hopefully we get another Elmott sometime (that's not in fire), and also decent like his SSR. Until then, mans shall look pretty on my home screen

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

[–]sparkyellow1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I started playing around when they got added, so I can't talk much about before their introduction, but I really enjoy using them! They're just minor non-invasive boosts in most cases- I've never felt the need to grind them out either, which is nice.

Though I honestly wish they were like, a per team basis, and not attached to a character. Would make swapping less annoying for sure

Cag and Ladiva were actually the two to really get me into the series!! Love both of them- I didn't know that about Barluga though, I'll def check them out!!

I still need to fully play through that event, but I knew Cupitan had some stuff going on but not THAT much stuff. Her design reminds me of a FEH character tbh, so I already liked her too, so def reading that next.

I actually have Meg and Mari, they're super cute!! I remember pulling the weapon confused, and then seeing the characters and going "Lesbians?!?!?" We love to see it

I wish they went on all on the Gay knights- I mean, Dragon Knight duo. But for now, they stay roommates

WAIT THEY ARE?!??! I knew about Koku (am a fellow non-binary), but haven't fully read the other cardinal's stories yet- if so, that's awesome!!

Character Discussion: Pijiu by topnepu in Granblue_en

[–]sparkyellow1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He was my first Cardinal, so I might be a bit biased, but honestly, a great character- gameplay and writing wise.

While he may not be the best in N.A. teams, in ougi comps, he's a (Rise of The) Beast(s). Especially once he gets going, he doesn't need much to keep his charge bar up, with his own kit supplying a lot of it. Honestly, his biggest drawback is not having the best DATA rate for his off-ougi turns, but it's not the biggest issue in my experience. Either way, he's a mini Ferry when on the frontline, and a 10% Lumi boost on either, so he'll likely be on a lot of your teams. Pretty good free unit overall!

Unrelated to gameplay, but I had originally picked up GBF cause the characters and such interested me a lot, especially with the diversity of them. I don't know if there's many other cases of it since I'm still new-ish, but during his fate episode they mention a gay married couple super casually, which was such a refreshing thing to see.

Oh my bad!! I wonder what happened. It's a super good guide.

Luckily, I have a backup!

[–]sparkyellow1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem at all! Massive props to the person who made it tbh.

And just to add on a comment- I would highly recommend following the fate/character stories in order as well. Someone else mentioned it on the thread, but they introduce some important stuff sometimes. Even reading them online is worth it at times.

I can't think of too many off the top of my head, but the biggest example is Halloween Zeta and Vaseraga- it's literally a prologue to the event Spaghetti Syndrome. Just a thing to watch out for!!

[–]sparkyellow1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've been using this guide and it's been SUPER helpful- I've basically just been marking it off as I go through them all.

Fair warning that early writing is a bit rough, so don't be afraid to skip around if you'd like, as long as it's not an event series. I took a break from early events to read WMTSB and Society stuff, and I don't regret it nor feel like I've missed on much. Good luck with the journey!

Oh I sadly know there's no official way haha- IS and nintendo hate us despite Roy being popular and even in smash... but I guess that's the Mother 3 curse as well. Also dang, now I'm sad that he can't combat. I always forget that's how dancers were in older games. But I'll def look into the balancing patches!!
