It wouldn't be so complicated if our damage cap wasn't a thing to begin with.

[@apachewarcry4141]

Most helpful video I've seen so far on this game! Thank you!

[@Sam-vb2vh]

Thank you so much for the video! Super helpful. I love that you talked about the general sigil structure you want to build around with damage cap etc.

[@fittirc04]

This was incredibly helpful and organized. Tyvm!

[@ebsibal7318]

I have been watching sigil videos for days and yours is the first that was clear and concise.

[@citrusquill7609]

Yea cause most videos just showed the list of Sigils they equipped and no explanation as to why they equipped said sigils

[@EddieCensored]

That's been my complaint for a long time about gaming. These devs need to get their shit together.... They used to publish game guides that explained everything. Now we're clicking video after video and digging through websites looking for answers for every game. It's like playing russian roulette these days looking for the correct information. I'm tired of wasting my time watching 25,000 20 minute - 2hr long videos for one game. We had published strategy guides available for purchase for RPGS back in my day, indexed, table of contents, etc. It was faster, way faster and concise because the old ways were better. Now it's all a wild goose chase for anything. "Get back to the basics, your menu is shit." like Gordon Ramsey said....

[@Suddensov]

With all those Suplementary Damage and War Elemental being mandatory, It will be so hard for the poeple to even consider being strong. Not everyone have a trainer like you. Good Guide!

[@DatBoiRatchet]

Don't call them out 😂

Instant sub. Thanks for actually explaining the mechanics of the game, and how to damage formula works.

[@voido773]

This video might be the one to push me into buying the game. Quite honestly the most detailed build guide I've seen for someone like me who has very little granblue knowledge. Your tier list guide helped me out in that regard as well.

[@dspellcaster1027]

Thank you for the video. Recently just got to proud mode and Versa curb stomped me. Currently running a Crit build because over mastery gave me cap ups. Did not realize the Terminus weapons outran ascension so thoroughly. Would love to see another video for the game.

[@niffumyo]

This has been really informative, thank you so much!

[@naxuxvlll987]

This was a nice vid overall honestly. Nice explanation on every sigil. I also wanted to point out just in case ppl do not know this yet, that u can use the method youtubers recommend for getting the perfect roll in sigils on the over mastery thingy as well cuz i saw ur over mastery bonuses and this can help u speed things up a lot if u are still trying to min-max ur chart ofc. Basically u can get the 20% cap on both attack and skill dmg using the exact same amount of mastery points, no need for grinding. Save ur game, start spending all ur mastery points, and if u didnt get what u were looking for, restart and do any mission .Hope this can help 😇

[@Cassapphic]

I've found using crit builds with the crit weapons works really well for progression, but having this video to orient a final build to work towards is very helpful thank you.

[@RyzingENT_Gaming]

Excellent video, and I mean spot on! For those coming to the comment section first, please stop what you're doing and watch the entire video. Please don't ask any questions until you finish it, and try it. Please! 😂 I was maybe two more videos watched away from going insane due to the lack of depth and incorrect info being provided. Now, I have five questions for you, Yomi, if you don't mind. Have you tried fighting Gallanza and Maglielle on solo - proud yet? What was your favorite boss fight? What boss fight was the most challenging and why? What would you like to personally see going forward regarding future updates for Relink? And lastly, how long have you been playing Granblue?

[@Cyotis]

Thank You!

[@Ace1stClass77]

I think whats key here is that theres no way to reliably 1 shot proud mode bosses so utility/survivability is key once a damage threshold is reached. We just don't know what the dmg threshold is right now, all the community has agreed on is that for (most) characters you should run SupDmg 5 (x2-3), war elemental, and DmgCap 5 (x4). Everything else is based on play-style and preference (i.e., charge vs cooldown, auto/instant-revive vs more potions, HP% vs DEF%). Terminus weapons are an after-thought until min-maxing, which is done after getting a comfortable/well-rounded build on your main. Then u use ur main to farm (slimes) for ur alts.

[@PatoDucko]

Super helpful video. The timestamps are very appreciated too.

[@StarScreamBK201]

Personally I’ve been using a tank/support Katarina build so I’ve been focused on cooldown to pump out as much group invincibility as possible, I consider this to make up for my own personal dps. But been looking to make a DPS build. Super helpful video.

[@asamayomi]

I've been playing Kat a lot recently, and I also do the same! I'm just lucky enough to have a lot of QC and Cascade on sigils I use, so I'm able to stack those on top of damage for her.

[@StarScreamBK201]

@@asamayomi I think she has a lot of potential to be good as a full DPS also mainly with crit ( her ascension weapon is crit focused) I’m running like 25% QC with a few cascades, 97% crit and some HP stuff. Probably gonna drop the cascade. I haven’t had enough time to work out solid builds yet but focusing on building her this weekend. ATM she’s my one trick pony. Your guide helped give me some ideas for the dps build. Looking forward to more GBFRL content from you.

[@TsunaTakahiro]

Good vid

[@xzentrick]

This was incredibly detailed and concise. Definitely appreciate the in-depth guide. Just want to confirm something you mentioned diminishing returns is that part of the reason why you run Stamina + Tyranny rather than 2 of either one? (Outside of having them readily available, as you mentioned in a different response.)

[@asamayomi]

no reason other than I have a Damage Cap V+ with Aegis, so Tyranny helps balance out the HP. Double Stamina, etc would be totally fine.

[@Rienli]

This was a very good learning video! I normally play Vaseraga and I make sure to run War elemental with my supplementary and damage caps. I do run lucky, quick and charge attack V's as well. What would you recommend in terms of a Vaseraga and building better damage since he can hit the cap on charge attacks constantly?

[@NYGSky]

No lie this has been the only good video ive watched for this game.

[@benjaminsimon362]

Good video. Does quick charge works with her charge skills also? or only basic attack in pink stance

[@kleisa08]

Thank you for the clear explanations! Also if it's okay to ask, how much time did you spent to farm all these?

[@asamayomi]

not counting the time it took me to beat the story or just sitting around in towns, roughly 90-ish hours I would assume.

[@AceofOblivionX]

I have one or two V+ unique sigils from curios so I am thinking it might be possible to get a V+ war elemental

[@neovi6424]

Thank you

[@lucasmilken7417]

Can you stack effects of sigils like drain or its like one effect only?

[@mladenka6270]

Very nice Video thank you. I have some questions: How do I know if I reached the point that ATK% doesn't bring more damage? I know the Numbers are glowing yellow on damage cap. But is there a way on the Powerlevel or Raw Attack to know that ? For example if I just stack atk% as long as the raw attack goes up in stats. How much ATK% do I need to cap on ATK% if I have a fully awakened Terminus Weapon?

[@Crippy1988]

Thank you for this video. Gonna take some time to buid towards this but ive been struggling in the higher difficulties and feel like im holding my groups back. Level 100 lotta but considering buiding a mage to stay out of the mix a bit more while still contributing

[@kang_gamife]

Good video!!! There is one problem with all these max damage build, your skill damage won't be hitting the max dmg cap. I guess there is no issue or whatsoever to do with the build without Setsuna, cuz most of your dmg would came from the regular infinite switching rotation. However if you use Setsuna, I advise you to go with the max crit+crit dmg+dmg cap build , and add a skill dmg/fast charging sigil, this way you're hitting the max dmg on everything.

[@22kakeru]

Hey, i absolutely love the video, great insights! You mentioned a Vase/Ghanda enmity+garrison build, and i do wanna make a Ghanda build but had no clue where to start, do you have a sigil list or could you point to me where i could learn more? I'll definitely be checking out your stream, too! Cheers!

[@ibrmanz]

I was looking for rotation guide to maxing out dps, should I use blue stance vs pink or rotate between using the combo finishers or stick to blue and skills, but other than that the sigil guide is spot on thank you very much, specially the segment about no base attack explained alot and cleared so much miss understanding how the scaling works, sadly I still don't have my terminus weapon yet, but am farming it hopefully will drop soon

[@LateNightxs]

As a narmaya main thank you I could not get pass 30k on my crit hits hope u keep doing guides and builds cheers 😊

[@ansonsieu8428]

super helpful! Back to Curio Jail I go...

[@iamsampled]

how do u get awakening sigils for each char? it seems that u dont use crit damage, is there a reason for that?

[@primegeek]

This is by far the best explained video regarding damage with very helpfull simple examples and demos. Your deserve way more subscribers. :)

[@iatwiatw]

Thanks for the guide! For charge attack spam like Vaseraga, is it worth maxing out the trait that reduces charge time? It says up to 30% reduced charge time but I might be leaving too much utility/survivability.

[@iatwiatw]

Another question: for solo players like me, is it worth stacking on stun instead of maxing out crit/damage to get more breaks and link times?

[@ankooshcurtis9935]

Knowing that dmg cap us reachable just from sigils, then what bonus stat should i put on my weapon? Since crit is not really needed anymmore

[@lawkuei8100]

Do you happen to know when you charge up a follow up attack after using Vaseraga's skills, is that considered a normal attack or skill? Reason being is most of my dmg comes from my charge up, but im not sure if that counts as normal attack cap or skill cap

[@Cakeyyama]

I juuuust got to Proud mode today with Naru, and have my Ascension wep upgraded a few times post 150, so I'm slowly getting there. D: I love Naru a lot. Need to work on my Damage Cap sigils + get War Element. I'm glad I was on the money with Stamina/Tyranny. Quick Charge would be good too. I'm glad I won't need to bother with stacking crit rate/crit damage/base attack. That'll save me slots! Whew.

[@BobtheMoneythedbr]

Your voice is so relaxing

[@Heishins]

If i have a maxed out non terminus weapon how much dmg cap is to much?

[@icalculi]

i have terminus weap and my narmaya hits cap with 4x dmg cap V+ lvl15 and [ either stamina lvl11 or tyranny lvl11 ]. am i doing something wrong? why did i capped so early w/ those sigils i guess?

[@kenshin391]

Can someone please tell me where are ya'll getting Damage Cap/ Aegis from. Every KZbinr has it. Where did you farm it?

[@13igworm]

So linked together works for online for your other party member? Does it also stack if everyone runs it?

[@Rhyhmx]

I know I'm a month late but what AI teammates would you recommend for Narmaya? I've checked a couple of places and everyone recommends someone different as an AI but none are specifically recommending it to pair with her

[@FREEHUGSFORCHARITY]

where are u getting the supp damage sigils because from like 200 curios ive only gotten 4+s ):

[@onlythemoon3273]

Can someone tell me if the catastrophe stat is it’s own damage cap multiplier or is is it additive with the damage cap sigil for 350% damage cap

[@KaiPerspective]

The 5dmg cap from terminus counts, but the cap "inside" the catastrophe are separated afaik, not the same trait

[@milikitito]

any tip to get those suplemtal ? so far i just have 2, one V and one IV+ and i dont even know where XD probably by curio but trust me i open a ton of curios (i have more than 200h already XD u probably 300? xD) is any quest more specific to get them? is knowed that boxes reward are fixed once you get them so just wonder if u figured any good one or something cause 3 V is like a s*t ton of luck (:

[@TheOnlyRinzy]

Thank you for the video! Extremely helpful, I just wish the problems I was having wasn't with *actually getting* the terminus weapon to drop or getting supplementary damage sigils :( I keep getting stuff like Flight before Fight or w.e its called.

[@mfz7758]

Some consideration should be given to the stout heart sigil, particularly since it gives defensive bonuses from many characters' defensive mastery tree.

[@ShadowCero]

Does supplementary damage sigil stack with other sources of supp like Katalina's Ares sigil or Narm's petal skill?

[@asamayomi]

yes, they stack additively.

[@easytiger7808]

that is some insane luck you've had with + rolls and rare sigils, wow. my build is basically the same but i only have 1 supplemental so I just put in some defensive with Aegis and Improved Dodge 15, which i LOVE.

[@XvLarvavX]

War Elemental is probably the best sigil in the game but also the worst if you're against an enemy that your character already has superior element against or an enemy that does not have a weakness, then War Elemental is worthless. Also something noteworthy is the .23-.25 increase from superior element ignores the damage cap, so it is extremely important.

[@SilentWhisky]

TIP to gain 2 free sigil slots in your build. 1) Try to get a Wrightstone with lvl 10 Crit chance, lvl 7 DMG cap, lvl 5 dmg cap. giving you lvl 12 dmg cap overall, + Sigil lvl [from Terminus weapon] will give +1 on each dmg cap sigil you wear....so you can get free 15 lvls of dmg cap, and thus removing 1 dmg cap sigil, giving you a free slot. 2) pair your Butterfly's traits into dmg caps. Roll for The two Butterfly's traits with dmg cap as 2nd subtrait, that way you can get rid of the awakening, and get another free sigil slot. NOTE: the number 1 method is mathematically insane to get by normal means, so I would say roll for any dmg cap lvls, even if its lvl 5 and lvl 3 dmg cap on that wrightstone, go for it, sacrifice few % dmg cap for a free sigil slot. Another tip: you can easily hit 100% crit chance by imbuing a lvl 10 crit wrightstone, +20% c.chance from over mastery, and find any of your main orange sigils + paired with crit chance trait, you hit 100% that way.

[@25lastdragon]

is there any specific way to get supp damage sigils i haven't seen a single one yet or the elemental one is it all lucky on curios?

[@nars4432]

I got 2 on curios yea but only IV

[@leesangpayab29]

Hello. Want to point this for you on people, 99% of caractères in this game hit the cap of dmg with combo booster +crit dmg. Basically calculation is : (dmg x crit) × other multiplicator. So its pretty a easy way to hit the cap.

[@TJung121]

just wondering about tyranny and stamina. I saw that you run one of each? Wouldnt it be better to run 2 for the level 30 trait for max? Is running two tyranny and two stamina too much over cap? Or is 1 of each more optimal?

[@Mondfloh]

She uses 1 tyranny to stay below 45000 hp so she gets the buff from the terminus weapon

[@charleswilliam8335]

Once you get your Terminus weapon isn't that the END end of the game? Im new to the game, only on very hard missions right now, but I have watched a bunch of videos and heard this.

[@cavsfightingroom3692]

no stout heart? I kinda used to it now and don't want to play without it

[@ThatNiueanGuy]

Im new to this game and im lovin it so far but dayum there’s alot to take in 😂 all the number crunching is like being back in school again lol

[@ShouVertica]

06:00 How to build "The best build in the game", same build but change: Stamina With Critical chance + Stamina Quick charge with Stout Heart. + Get steel nerves as a secondary. There. That's the absolute best build for every character in the game and you can pick if you want CDR or if you want utility purple skills when you get better sigils. Explanation: Damage cap max Supp damage lets you get more damage Stout heart lets you have the best dps in the game because you will not stop your attack if you get hit.

[@Bunny_1643]

Fun fact - You can gain DMG Cap on Character Awakening+ Sigils and Crit Hit Rate+ Sigils

[@TurboTobs1989]

I read that potent greens can instant cure the dizziness caused by glass cannon if you have 2 potions remaining. Not able to verify this myself though.

[@mellowmoony]

You probably hit dmg cap with 2 stamina, still staying below 45k and not needing aegis. This lets you slot in more crit or stuff like improved dodge.

[@asamayomi]

yep, that is also the case. I personally just like the tyranny+stam+aegis combo since it's easy for me to slot in due to having the sigils readily available.

[@saul94923]

Start running missions that give ya resources. That way you are actually getting something out of your farm.

[@DevastatingWarrior]

Does the War Elemental sigil still adds damage even if I use a character that's already superior element? I plan on swapping characters based on what enemy I'll be fighting, but if W.E. still adds damage I'll definitely have to get one.

[@toomuchwater6000]

War Elemental pretty much just negates the bosses typing and makes your element always count as a weak point. But for example, if you're fighting the ice wyrm with a fire character there's no point in running War elemental because weak point only gets applied once.

[@DevastatingWarrior]

@@toomuchwater6000 Okay sweet, definitely still want to get a couple of them, as there seems to be a few fights with multiple element enemies, but it'll be nice to have an extra sigil slot for single element fights.

[@sinkthemall2024]

first person ive heard call her Naru in forever, my group had no idea who i meant when i said that at first

[@Musical_Nero]

Did you just farm Machine Units to get all your sigils? You have so many good V+ I'm so jealous!

[@taihaku]

I use both my awakening skill but i essentially use it as a extra dmg cap sigil becuase dmg can be rolled on it so it actualy let me consolidate my build

[@asamayomi]

yep, this is a really good thing to do if you manage to get awakening sigils with good substats.

[@Mondfloh]

How would that permanent godmode id work? I didn't really understand how you can have permanent godmode id with supplemental dmg.

[@asamayomi]

Cascade lowers your skill cooldowns on hit by a varying amount. Supp damage counts towards this, giving you more procs on Cascade. This lowers his Ragnarok Form cooldown enough to have it up every time he would be running out of gauge for Godmight.

I have the same sigils slotted. My crit is hitting 52k but my non crit is hitting well below that. I'm not sure how to get my non crit and crit to hit the same like yours. Since this will remove my need for crit rate sigils and slot in others but I can't hit the cap for my non crit.
