► More About Granblue Fantasy Relink
Granblue Fantasy Relink was announced under the title of Granblue Fantasy Project Re: Link in August 2016, to be developed by a collaboration between PlatinumGames and Cygames. Some of the game's staff include composers Nobuo Uematsu and Tsutomu Narita, and artist Hideo Minaba. PlayStation 4 was announced as the target platform. The game is set in the same fictional realm as the original Granblue Fantasy but takes place in a different location, although some characters from the original game will appear.
The first public gameplay was shown at GranBlue Fes 2017. Director Tetsuya Fukuhara described some gameplay details - the game includes four-person co-operative multiplayer, or, single-person play with three AI characters. Its official title, Granblue Fantasy: Relink, was revealed in December 2018. By February 2019, PlatinumGames was no longer involved in the project, leaving Cygames to handle the rest of the development. Originally scheduled to be released in 2022, the game was delayed to February 1, 2024. GranBlue Fantasy: Relink received a playable demo on 1/11/24.

[@SkyDownNoFoe]

Another tips is sandy can spam zohar strike in link time too

[@JRPGSamurai]

Oh my god, why I didn't thought of this, maybe this is so much better, let me test the damage results later.

[@Lostinhishead]

Great guide. I would love to see if you found out whether using his finisher during link time was better. Im figuring it is, im bad at the maths 😂 this guy and seofon are my favorites, but a Caglio carried me and the moment i realized i could do so much damaged with a ranged character she became my cash tank. I run her for lucilus at all times, shes just so good! Great job again!

[@JRPGSamurai]

Hello! Some of my followers suggested that doing finishers during Archangel Mode is way better than skill spamming. However, I haven't got the chance to test this rigorously. One thing as well is spamming Zohar strike. Thanks again lost!

[@laventine7]

Thank you Kabayan! Ill go with this build. Like a 5 Star Lancelot ya ya ya ya ya

[@JRPGSamurai]

Oh wow, I didn't know we're both Filo laventine. Thinking of starting a PH channel kasi wala masyadong nag cover ng Triple A satin.

[@alexandrpomazan5267]

During link time with the regular build better to spam Triangle finisher rather than skills, I tried both and you can do around 6-10 finishers depends on team, which is huge damage.

[@JRPGSamurai]

Thanks for the tip, will test this really soon!

[@MulLaTeZCarL]

Very powerful nuke damage to huge boss Damage same as Id combo god Might finish Huge boss take 5 hit huge damage and 5 hit from supplements damage

[@ryechew]

when i was doing this it depended on my over masteries. if skill damage cap up skills are best. but i tried it really early on before farming the new sigils

[@JRPGSamurai]

@@MulLaTeZCarL I would love to try this and the Zohar Strat Method.

[@JRPGSamurai]

@@ryechew RYE! How it is going mate. Took me a while to do this lol, put everything effort on it.

[@juanlife6255]

that wrighstone with critical rate lv20 and lvl 10 Tyranny Tho O.o, i'll do both builds cuz reasons.

[@JRPGSamurai]

Modded? If I modded it, you will not see any greater aegis there.

[@JRPGSamurai]

@juan yeah, I call it Gigachad Wrightstones nowadays, I am struggling to get an uplift though, that Greater aegis is non optimal imo.

[@noskillita5523]

I started playing a week ago and I'm loving this game, i bought sandalphon because he's so cool but in the end I'm playing with Narmaya, she's so fun, how's sandalphon AI? In absence of War element sigil I'm playing with I'm in party since the start. You're guides are helping me a lot, thank you

[@JRPGSamurai]

I am glad to hear this and enjoy the game! I haven't tested his AI though. Narm is my main! =D Glad the guide helps!

[@justrliam]

where do we get the supplementary and supplementary is it curios?

[@JRPGSamurai]

You either get Supp V from higher tier curios. and Supp V+ from Tier IV curios, however the easier spot IMO is Behemoth quests. AKA lock horns. Watch my advanced curio guide to know more, kinda intricate.

[@josiahmccalla8406]

Samurai can u do some digging, cuz my firta play through got corrupted so i had to restart and on my way back to end game i saw a Io main so 1.6 mil damage in a uncharged regular attack and i dont know if they were hacking or hot

[@JRPGSamurai]

Hi am very sorry to hear this. Always make sure you have a backup save. It happened to us once. Now the player, you are talking about, we've encountered some cheaters in the past however, it's hard to tell whose cheating at this point. I am not an IO main so no data on this. But my guess is its possible if you have a optimal IO setup. She is capable of dealing huge numbers. Narmaya and the others can score 8M now in one skill.

[@josiahmccalla8406]

@@JRPGSamurai skill but a regular hit like like she just tapped attack and boom 1.6 mill

[@cedricmeisser1208]

What mission drops warpath+ sigils? Is it the Behemoth mission?

[@someclevername8167]

Warpath+ sigils drop from Transmarvels

[@JRPGSamurai]

Warpaths indeed only drop from transmarvels. i am not sure about curios though.

[@cedricmeisser1208]

@@JRPGSamurai Ah shit, I meant war elemental+, sorry😅

[@thezath011]

Doesn't Alpha sigil affect his lighstep projectile?

[@JRPGSamurai]

Yeap, I put a note in the build section that if you can slot it Alpha Sigils for Lightstep and still covers the essential trait, even better.

[@edwiener9666]

I cant get a good wrightstone like my best one i guess is a lvl 20 crit chance, lvl 15 provoke, and lvl 10 low profile🥲

[@JRPGSamurai]

Yeah it works, start from there. RNG is a bummer most of the time.

[@Borderlines]

Are the new echo sigils good?

[@JRPGSamurai]

The berserker echo is the star of the show, mandatory for almost every character.

[@Borderlines]

@@JRPGSamurai thanks! Although i cannot finish the quest with the berserker echo+ yet. Still need to farm a lot in order to tackle that quest 😭

[@LegendaryArgho]

What mission drops war elemental+ sigils?

[@Jossy40921]

Warelemental+ now drops from the Behemoth fight, rarity is the same as Sup. 5+ and other rare sigil drops.

[@JRPGSamurai]

Indeed they drop on Behemoth. But T_T I only get two so far.

[@yongkl717]

How do I get Sandalphon world ender weapon ?

[@JRPGSamurai]

You can craft it with the local blacksmiths.

[@syounen6114]

this really help me improve sandalphon dmg, still far from perfect though

[@JRPGSamurai]

I am glad it helps! Awesome character indeed.

[@paris5831]

Yeah I was not finna grind for his character I bought that dude for 4 bucks

[@JRPGSamurai]

Have fun, he is indeed fun to play. I love how it works. Just need to practice that timing even more.

[@rashadcrooms8853]

Been farming behemoth non stop and i cannot get war elemental+ to drop 😭😭

[@JRPGSamurai]

Yeah it is super hell of a rare drop. I think it has the same rates with Supp V+. Bless you with a good RNG.

[@rashadcrooms8853]

@@JRPGSamurai can curios drop it?

[@JRPGSamurai]

@@rashadcrooms8853 I haven't tested it yet since I was not able to farm recently because of Sandy's guide. I am guessing yes, since supp V+ drops from Tier IV crios but its not 100% sure.

[@gregorybeckles6781]

Hi, where is this information on war elemental plus sigils coming from? I've read the patch notes and there is no mention of this or physical proof that I could find online. Are people really just spreading misinformation?

[@rashadcrooms8853]

@gregorybeckles6781 I saw another youtuber have it and I watch someone last night get it on twitch so it does come from behemoth although... day 3 and still no sigil

[@swiftchancellor159]

I was playing with a sandalphon during the lucilius Zero fight and he literally 1 shot him and we won lol

[@JRPGSamurai]

XD! Wuts. Maybe a glitch though.

[@LunaPPK]

gotta be honest i legit do not understand why they have no flash or anything to show you when you should try and go for a perfect strike same with Siegfried there is no excuse to why they don't do this when talviyo literally has it. Lucky the window for his perfect strikes aren't as bad as sieg's are in timing them

[@JRPGSamurai]

you know what, i kinda wondered too why the brief flashes does not match the timings for Sandy. for narmaya it does kinda match the flashes and zeta.

[@cc8283]

Feels like alot of builds are just dropping alpha/beta/gammas nowadays for more utility

[@JRPGSamurai]

It all boils down on how good your other sigils since you can slot in def utilities in your Warpaths, Wars, and Supp. But those are rare so anyone is welcome to use the regular damage cap if they don't have these rare good sigils.

[@cc8283]

@@JRPGSamurai I guess depends on which character but after getting the DMG staples like tyranny/stamina/combo booster/skill assault/supplementary DMG/war element and or concentrated fire or quick charge with the staple of utility skill like improved dodge/pot horder/auto rev/guts u tend to get really limited on the other support sigils like nimble/uplift/cascade/quick cool down.

[@JRPGSamurai]

@@cc8283 Yeap but thanks to the recent update we can slot in more.

[@cc8283]

@@JRPGSamurai I think the max amount of sigils I can put in this update are just autorev/guts/berseker echo while i dropping 2 quick cooldowns for my narmaya

[@JRPGSamurai]

@@cc8283 Cool, imo you can drop Auto Rev for Potion Hoarder IMO, its much better.

[@donnymarrion3576]

Oh shoot. I've maxed the Alpha sigil instead. Sheesh

[@JRPGSamurai]

No worries you will be needing it for other chars or in his lightstep build.

[@donnymarrion3576]

@JRPGSamurai so you're saying that the extra X and Y additional on damage cap for the Alpha sigil is useless for Sandalphon??

[@JRPGSamurai]

@@donnymarrion3576 if you are using the lightstep build I see the awakening sigils really provides small value. but if you are playing him in a regular way, you can consider slotting Awe at least. kinda confused about the question so let me get this again. Alpha sigils are suggested for optimal lightstep build and i noted it in the video.

[@donnymarrion3576]

@JRPGSamurai So this is what I'm trying to say. The Alpha sigil gives an extra damage cap for normal X + Y attacks. What I'm asking is? Isn't it more beneficial to have 2 Alpha sigil at Level added with probably 2 more Gamma since it has an additional 30% Damage cap when it's level 30 rather than having Beta?? Since it's more on spamming the long-range attack when Sandalphon is on seraphim mode?

[@JRPGSamurai]

@@donnymarrion3576 Ok we misunderstood each other from the start so let me clear this up. Theoretically Having 2 Alpha Sigils would be beneficial. Especially if you are using the Lightstep build. However. It is a hard thing to do, since the optimal setup is with level 30 Uplift trait and level 30 nimble onslaught. We already have a lot of def utility and this is the reason why I don't have Alpha because I was unlucky with my other Sigils and War Elemental. If you can sacrifice at least 1 or 2 def utility of course having 2 Alpha Sigils is way better. Again noted this in the video. Hope this clears things up. The Beta part suggestion is for the Regular build since you will not be spamming lightstep attack their but rather rely on your skills to deal the big numbers.

[@taichiarasoi776]

lol imagine having these suggested sigils. aint no one has that. no way in hell not without cheating lol

[@JRPGSamurai]

It's your opinion and a lot of us, especially the core community knows, these are legit. I am working my ass off and yet comments like these pop up. It will take a considerable amount of time though.

[@JrockGames]

Bro I can barely hit 25mill and I copied your setup wtf

[@JRPGSamurai]

Are you referring to Dummy results and lightstep build? if you want to, I can upload my raw dummy run. If you used the lightstep build, 25 is a lil bit low. There's a specific sequence on doing things.
