Oh cool, there's a Granblue thread on this forum now.

I've been playing for a while, feel free to send a friend request - 6296328 - and it would be great if can mention you're a goon in your Profile. I have some decent summons for use, such as Grand Order - good if your team has 3+ different elements in its line-up.

Haven't tried the Maniac versions of the Street Fighter bosses, though I can do EX reasonably easy.

Sent you a friend request, I've been looking for some friends with Grand Order. My summons are still too lovely for most of the Rank 100+ JP Grand Order players to give a poo poo about friending me. :v:

edit: Also re: getting Karin in time, I managed to get her over the weekend grinding very hard Fang/Necalli along with abusing rank ups for AP refill/twitter refill/a few half-elixirs. Did some coop and raids at some points while waiting for AP as well. I started playing earlier last week so I just tried to level up until I could consistently do Very Hard with a SSR Rosetta/Yuel/Katalina Grand Order team. I think it was about 10-11k power when I was able to do them on very hard consistently. Arcana Dueler and Sentinel helped a lot for Fang and Necalli respectively, and Katalina especially is a godsend vs Fang's poison. 1/2 AP definitely helped for getting levels though.

The progression guide in the OP is a pretty good starter guide (though its host sometimes has bandwidth issues), and there's also a link to a very large guide that might be a bit overwhelming for someone fresh to the game. For now, jump into the Granblue Fighter V / Granblue Fighter Ultra events, snag a couple of event wind SR characters and battle with them in the party so they'll stay with you, work on the panel missions for some newbie stuff, and grind story (especially since story is 1/2 off) and join HARD Raids (just jump in and tap things, it doesn't screw over anyone and your EP refreshes quickly anyhow, you can feel free to get completely murdered and some high level will still carry you to victory) to try to get some exp fodder or weapon drops.

Thanks, I checked the OP for the guide and it seems good indeed. For now I am running the event quests for the crystals. Do i get Loyalty even from non-event stages?

Also what are Panel missions?

Nice job with Karin! And yeah, it's tough getting higher-level players to friend you, but keep trying. Somehow I managed to max out my friend spaces that way, so I have a decent number of good summons to call upon.

You'll get Loyalty from any quest that you have to spend AP on.

Panel missions, or "Pinboard Missions" as they're known in the English version, can be accessed under the Gameplay Extras tab on your main screen. Just follow the tasks and get free stuff.

Too bad I barely have any weapons to make use of it for now. Does anyone know how many Vulcan weapons you'd need until it starts being better than bringing a regular fire atk summon? I have a 25% fire atk one right now.

A couple of my friends In our crew with Yoda always make some of us salty when we're beating up some boss and then wham. One million damage fight over, MVP stolen. Like it is true that he falls off past early midgame but during that beginning period it is not even a contest, Yoda destroys all and gets his own power tier.

Eh, the tier list post made him seem solid even later on if I can protect him via damage cuts outside of his unshrouded turns. My only concern so far is that his CA bar feels very random. Sometimes my first one will come on his last shroud charge, some times it will hit on time, other times a turn or two after it refreshes. Is there a way I can better control the tempo?

Plus he's just an adorable fisherswordsman. :3:

If you go quest then special thats beside raid you'll see some quests that cycle daily, you're looking for cocytus which just cycled out a day ago and will probably be back around 18 days? But thats alright cause fighting against the same element is sorta a pain since debuffs are more difficult to apply in most cases.

You should farm VH leviathan for SR weapons that have atk+ skills for water, and try to leech levi omegas for his summon later on and the SSR dagger.

The casino sells five half elixirs per day, just play some poker and scoop those up, between that, rank ups, and the daily Twitter reset, you can play a ton. Makes grinding the higher cost boss fights for the SSR Street Fighter weapons a lot easier.

N weapons: feed them to your higher-tier weapons, or even characters if all your weapons are maxed out. Soon enough you won't even want to bother picking them out of your Crate.

R weapons: you can feed the No Skill ones to weapons or characters - make sure to select the "No Skill" button in the sorting options when choosing which weapons to use as fodder. Hold onto the weapons with skills, as you can use them as fodder to start upgrading the skills on your SR/SSR weapons. There's probably a spreadsheet linked in the OP about this.

Alright, I need some advice.

I've seen from multiple places that light sucks starting out new. I was rerolling a bunch and now I've got a choice between an account with Percival or one with Vania. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna whale a fair bit right at the beginning here with the beginner ticket and the surprise tickets for light characters. I'm just wondering if i should go with the one with Vania or the one with Percival.

Airships you have access too once you're in a crew. You go to Menu -> Crew -> Airship -> Upgrade and you can donate all your unneeded weapons there. There's a point system based on rarity and even though Ns only give 1 point, every little bit really adds up!

Neither. If you're sure you want to light team you keep going until you get a light SSR to work around from there, or a Lucifer... I still have an account with Lucifer + Albert if you want it.

I suggest saving elixirs for later story mode stuff (I hear it gets really tough near the end). Opening up to public will usually get the thing dead if you need help.

Colossus, Tiamat, Leviathan, Yggdrassil, Celeste and Chevelier raids done on hard or higher will drop summons, weapons, exp fodder and anima "keys" that you will need to farm to host the Omega versions of these raids, as well as for high-end character uncapping, since you can only do three a day these are worth doing especially since they're currently 1/2 off. You'll get one red chest for hosting it which means even if you do poo poo for damage you still have a fair shot at getting something nice. All the other ones are pretty much done once for crystals and then you move on.

Depends which tickets ya'll are talking about.

Start dash/surprise tickets the character select ticket itself expires in 7 days. Start dash is tied to what was in the gacha at the time you made your account, surprise to when it was bought. Individual pulls you can get from game rewards and the 10 pull tickets you get that come with start dash/surprise last until used.
