How good do you think Seofon and Tweyen will be once they release? Immediate S tier characters? Also please don't use MVP as a way to measure how good a character is, that's terrible, MVP means nothing

Zeta doesn't make it to the top DPS. But she's still out-performing the insect glaive of MH by a large margin.

For people that don't play Io, they might not realize it but you don't actually charge Flowery Seven. It hits the damage cap on each individual hit very easily, so you just tap it and move on with your rotation. Io is also less of a burst character (even if Stargaze V hits hard), and more of a sustain character because there's very little in Proud fights that actually forces her to hard disengage.

I cant believe how they didnt fix ghandaghoza. At this point i call this char a bug, because he is so bad compared to the other chars, it cant be intentional.

Vane should be S Tier simply for his braindead facetanking abilities. His damage output might be lower than the top tiers, but he makes up for it by simply being able to rush after the boss in every stage of the fight. He has consistent uptime in his damage, even in bloodthrist phases, whereas others struggle with that. Also he is super tanky so mistakes aren't punished that hard. Id is another character that is gravely underestimated here. His damage against Barrold is shit, but thats because his most damaging skills are multi-hit attacks that work better against big bosses. I easily outdamage 95% of players online with Id, the only ones BARELY outdamaging me are perfectly geared Percivals and Vaseragas and only when I mess up my rotations. He is also deceptively tanky, as he has built in Stout Heart, so giving him some defensive utility in Steel Nerves gives him the ability to facetank similiar to Vane. Should at least be in A tier.

Great video, honestly agree with all your takes, looking forward to the new crewmates and content!

Nice Io was A during her part but ended up S by the end of the video ahaha. Great List BTW!

Probably need to make a stats chart for each character like: DPS (poor/best situation), defense, handling difficulty, team support, quest specialty and other stuffs.

I have like 6 different tabs open from your vids and I'm overwhelmed. Just finished the main story. Currently playing Narmaya as my main. What would you recommend? I'm currently running Narmaya, Rackam, Rosetta and Id in my team. Got 3 character coupons. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

I think Kat is S. her exclusive sigil gives supplemental DMG which stacks with the sigils when Ares is out. Also think Rosetta DMG is slept on. Her poison does hp% DMG. Can't wait to see the damage on proud mode bosses and the new boss in March.

Rosetta is S tier in my heart

Narmaya is Rank S, you only need hands to use her.

Vane is an S Tier personally for me

Old man throwing grenades is super fun to use

I really want to try slow character like Vaseraga and Ghandogoza now that I have finished my builds for pretty much all of the fast characters

Hey man, just for saying thank you for your video. I have like 40hours into the game and i count to put hundreds more. Percival et narm is my only two characters atm fully master thanks to you and your guide.

Is there any huge difference between using Gran or Djeeta? Or is it just very miniscule that, in practice, it makes no difference?

I'll be coming back to this video to reference in what order I want to unlock crewmates. Thanks for the comprehensive list!

Surprised you didn't mention that ferry can spsm her SBA. In proto for example she can SBA from the first time he lands his dead on the ship. With max uplift she takes 27 seconds to get it which is a huge dmg boost for the team as it stuns the boss and gives a team wide 10% SBA charge

25:06 correction: Ares does NOT extend the duration of the freeze, just the range.

I’ve gotta ask: does unlocking mysteries affect how an ai plays? Like I know it increases their strength but if a mastery increases the duration of let’s say a buff, does that only apply when your playing as that character or does it apply to the cpu as well?

In my opinion Narmada is an S tier character because you can stacks insane buffs with dance of pink petals and buff defense and regain health with dance of blue petals and her setsuna skill is a nice allrounder for clearing enemies and she has one of the widest ranges in the whole game while having insane damages and if you pulls out all your buffs with other characters and then buff with dance of pink and blue petals you can doing infinite combos with an average damage amount at max level of about 50+ million. Also she has versatility range (again) dps, combos, fast attacks and healing everything you want in a character. But I might switch to personal because Narmaya and Persival are my favorite characters and they are both in my opinion s rank with Narmaya 50m+ and persival 55m+ but I do understand your point of Narmaya in a tier but you really have to learn her tricks, I have played with her most of the game and once you learn her unstoppable combos with dance of pink petals she becomes a force to be reckoned with.

One thing I discovered, although I'm pretty sure everyone knows by now, is that Djeeta's Phalanx and Charlotta's Konigsschild stack together, which brings the damage reduction up to 100%, as if the 70% wasn't already crazy enough.

Hey great video. But I just noticed that your ranking image at the end of the video doesn't all match the rankings you gave in the actual video. For instance, you ranked Ferry as A tier, but your image shows she's on B tier. Why is that?

As an Vaseraga main, I am so happy about this video and the game. I do have so much fun playing him.

Really glad it looks like the game is fairly balanced. That means that you can play whoever is most fun and not feel bad about it.

Could you make a tier list for best A.I-teammates one day? That would be dope lol

Why did you say Ferry is A in the vid but ranked her in B at the end?

Vane does huge damage, you might be a bit inexperienced on him. Provides immunity, has a huge stun skill and damage skill (& all his cooldowns can be reduced due to unique sigil + any other cooldown sigil)

NEVER GO OFF SOMEONE'S TIER these things are all based on this guy's experience with the characters...Everytime someone makes a Tier List the characters they suck with or don't know how to fully utilize is usually low tier soo please take this with a grain of salt 😂

Good ranking.

what char that has very long range attack, Rackam then whom? maybe Eugen next, because afk farming is easier with them

Vane lacks damage!? Im doing over 2 million dmg with Energy Destruction and thanks to his Signature Sigil and Cascade every 2 combo finishers i can use the skill again. Vane is so broken against Lucilius its not even funny. I m getting MVP with Vane even without using Rampart thats how much damage he is dealing.

24:29 Is that Katalina with no cape? how? that looks so cool

i dont 100% agree with everything you said but i think the only ranking i would dispute is the captain. I think you are being quite generous putting them at S rank, as even though their kit is really great, in the current state of the game a lot of their utility is sadly wasted. However I think as we get new content that will probably change and they will deserve the s rank

Id's damage is actually pretty good in acual combat as opposed to the test dummy and this can be seen if you use the dps meter that's been made. Big reason is you can't account or test for his biggest hitting attacks on the dummy due to their huge multi hit. He's definitely A tier, a little under namaya. That said he has a very high skill ceiling for the reasons you mentioned, such as dying resetting you to base.

Yodarha mains all rise

In my opinion every character can become s tier , with the right setup

Ferry is crazy good to skip boss fight mechanics, it’s a list based on dps?

Digimon World File City music in the background. Damn now I gotta insta like.

Take a shot every time DarkHero says "damage" in this video

Ferry singlehandedly cuts clear times by 5x. Let's put her into B! YEAH! SURE!

I kinda get the argument that Percival, Vaseraga and Rackam does leagues ahead of damage among the rest.. but thats mostly because of their ridiculous skill cancels giving them unlimited uptime for quick charges except rackam which I think that his aerial shot has stupid ass high damage cap for no reason. I just wished you kinda emphasize that part.. people might misunderstand this ranking unless they watch your other guides for those characters first.

Anyone know what he means when he says 'cc'? thanks

Would put vane in S tier simply for his shield and for how often he can use it by spamming combo finishers with supplimentary dmg and cascade settings and yes it all stacks with his class sigil and it's just ridicilously op defensive skill overall allowing players inside ingore all dmg/cc and deal dps or simply just avoid mechanics which most likely will be a thing in upcoming raids. He is also super fun and spammy with low cooldowns. People who build him tanky, please don't. And you don't really need the other class sigil that give defence, just the one with cd reduction for each combo finisher you do.

We not gonna talk about fact that Rotor bug is 35-40% of Percival dmg?

If you are a good Katalina player and I mean really good willing to break your fingers good and can maintain ares with the cancel and skill tech then her dmg and utility skyrockets immensily as you only lose Ares when the boss pushes you away or some other annoying cutscene plays. I gave up on her because most of the time can't tell what the fuck is happening with the stupid camera and all the other players skill effects happening on screen I always drop Ares even though I can maintain him in the dummy pretty much infinite. She is like Charlotta easy to learn and extremely hard to master. But with Charlotta not mastering her is not so bad because without her dodge cancel tech she still deals respectable dmg while Katalina does not, lol.

Ranks Ferry as A tier yet chart at end has her B? You just farming for engagement? Shit move.

I think the only rating I really disagree with is Io. There's no way she isn't S tier. Practical damage tests have her at the very top of total damage for the majority of encounters (unsure if they were using SBA cap build or not though), and even with a more traditional build, her uptime is incredible, and most importantly, something you didn't touch on for her or Ferry, is SBA generation. Io generates a TON and it allows for some skips that other characters can't do. Ferry takes this to the next level, and probably deserves S tier again, just for her SBA utility. Oh, and while I think your ranking of Katalina is fair, you can build her for unga bunga face tank full uptime Ares and she performs actually VERY well. One of my favorite ways to do practical tests for characters is to put them up against some obnoxious fights like ice+ lightning dragon and gallbonzo + bean. And in these tests, Katalina, Io, and Ferry tend to perform the best, even over monsters like Percival and Narmaya. Just because of uptime and SBA.

Ferry is triple S tier imo xd She can interrupt the boss more often than others and make speed runs super easy.

Oh boy. Rosetta's Terminus weapon was the first one to drop, and I've been excitedly building her as much as possible because of it. Wonder where she placed. ... Fuck.

Good list, but no way is Rosetta in the same tier as the worst character in the game currently Ghandagoza. Rosetta imho belongs in the B tier at the lowest. Anyway, thanks for the list, and I'm really looking forward to the new content, and your takes on it.

I understand vane isn't pulling DPS forward numbers, but I really don't get how the sheer bullshit of the bubble alone doesn't land him in S. Skipping entire mechanics and Bloodthirst phases is a wild level of true teamwide utility that very few characters can compare with. Also Rosseta in last,womp womp, still going to main her because her enitre gameplan for me so fun. Now if only her bloody terminus would drop...

I love this game

Vanes sigil gives him a 20% damage reduction after landing a finisher, not receiving only 30% of the damage from any attack 😂

New drinking game: Everytime you hear, "... that being said," take a drink. Guarantee you'll be drunk quick. That being said, alcohol poisoning guaranteed halfway through video.

Ferry was ranked as an A tier but ended up as a B and Io went from A to S whilst Katrina was somewhere between… tier lists are definitely subjective for sure, my main is Zeta and I agree she doesn’t do as much damage but I feel like she brings a lot to the fight. Saying that A tier is fair, Ferry if using the correct build is either A or S tier as she can give more options… anyway good video clearly took a long time to make oh and btw if you have a high level firm stance then when the enemy goes into bloodlust or overdrive you do not get pushed away, I got a dmg cap with it on and I maxed it to lv15 and it’s very underrated but so useful lol

Everytime i play Rosetta i get the MVP in multiplayer, why is that? Doesnt matter who's in the party, Rackam, Eugen, Percival, Narmaya, Yodarha... i always seem to get the MVP. The only one my Rosetta usually loses the MVP to is Vane.

Would say lance is s teir regardless of FoF just get good and dodge tbh dont need a gimic build to be s tier

The s tier for me are narmaya, Id, Sigfried, yodarha, Charlotte, Lancelot, katalina

Personally i like alternating between Thousand Flames and Rain of Fury on Zeta. Thousand Flames actually does huge stun damage and since the Stout Hart sigil is so broken on her then running Flames of Fury just helps you survive more hits than usual. Also idk about other fights since i stopped using it after this but the Wingclipper skill in the Proto fight seems to be bugged since all it did was last half a second then reset the boss back to neutral and have him fly away from the ship instantly after, and i tried using it on his break state and neutral state having the same results every time.

So I heard Percival can't skill cancel anymore. New tierlist?

Sieg is in the first places of A, not the last…

Reminder to people C is the worst tier here, but C isn't a failing grade, D,E & F are typically on most tier lists but grandblue is such an amazingly well designed game, every character is playable for the entire game, there's no point having anyone lower.

Lancelot ❄️

I'm glad that my main Siegfried is A rank

5th. Also let's go.

Any post patch tier list?

Percy can't cancel anymore and it has ruined him completely for me personally...

I think Vane becomes overly redundant in end-game and if the cheese gets fixed in the network patch, I think both Rackam and Percy will drop a full 2 tiers. Also, if you consider non-singular encounters only Eugen, Narn, and Ferry would be higher than C.

Rosetta is my favorite but I agree she needs some tweaks to her rose mechanics. She's a jack of all trades, master of none in a team game where there are very strong alternatives.

So you have to take these lists with a grain of salt. They are made with apexing in mind (never getting hit with mechanics always having uptime on boss) because if you try to play a character you don't know or like you'll either be dead or lost so the list doesn't matter. Play whoever you like and have fun. It's a game at the end of the day and every character is cool and BA in their own way.

how dare u give zeta a A, she is the most fun char both physically and visually

I played a lot of Katalina, and although I like her playstyle very much I wouldn't put her even on A tier. The way the Ares gauge works is very bad. If Azure Sword is on cooldown, you have to use her combos to fill it up again. The problem is that the gauge stops filling up half way through and it won't leak to the other half until it's "blinking", doesn't matter how powerful is the combo you used. And as far as I know we can't do anything with half gauge, so for me it doesn't make any sense. There are also a lot of things that can interrupt the flow of your combo when Ares is summoned.

I disagree with your charlotta and Zeta take, you seem to be basing damage potential on combat dummy, you dont seem to be factoring the fact that both of them can sustain dps on bosses during mechanics, Zeta via aerial safety, and charlotta via invincibility, granting both of them millions of extra damage per quest while others are obeying mechanic phases.

people keep forgetting tier list is made for people that suck. Everyone is good if played right! nice vid btw

Vaseraga is S tier for his damage but he and Ghandagoza have the lowest practical dps because they are super slow lol (So his damage is actually bad).

All characters are S Tier!!!

Your list is suspect sir. Cagliostro is an easy S tier.

please buff id...

id main here im sad he's so...weak

Put Rosetta in C tier is a crime. She is not my main, but a late game rosetta ( i tested ), can easily carry any boss run, she have infinite def/atk/regen buffs, with no CD, and do tons of damage. She's a monster, and easy to play.

I've played this game for 400 hours without AFK farming while using multiple characters, and this list is accurate except for a few characters, but mostly I disagree with Id, Rackam and Charlotta. CC is very valuable in this game simply because it can skip overdrive>bloodthirst by using CC on the boss the moment they "overdrive roar". DPS is such a blinding thing but most characters(aside from Ghanda and Rosetta) can do very close DPS. Rackam and Charlotta have absurd DPS but they have a lack of CC's which should bring them down to A tier. They are only S tier when they have a teammate that can concsistently CC the boss the moment they overdrive, but are A tier outside of it. Meaning they are generally A tier(and tbh, even lower cause they are less useful when there's no CC to stop bloodthirst). Because of this imo, you should put them below the CC characters. Id has a CC AND he has decent DPS against bosses(not against the training dummy cause ID's DPS depends on the bosses size). Not only that, he can double CC against proud bosses that die in 30s-1m(e.g. red dragon) by slow>transform>slow. tbh he is better than Rackam/Charlotta if used properly(except for mag/Gallanza fight cause they smol, but Char has a similar problem which is somewhat remedied by cancelling). I have no comments on Ferry as I refuse to use her unless they change the SBA spam gameplay. A small nitpick but Percival should be lower than Vaseraga as Vaseraga's CC has an absurdly low CD if used correctly. He can use it 3-4 times in 1m30s against bosses like Pyet-A(and kill it in that timeframe). Also, Io should be the best because she can consistently stop overdrive before bloodlust and cancel it out HERSELF while Vaseraga/Percival needs to perfect dodge the "overdrive roar">slow then charge which is not consistent. Eugen is debatable as while he has a good consistent CC like IO, his DPS can't burst out of overdrive like the other three. Katalina should be lower, her CC is not consistent like Lancelot as she is mostly out of range when the bosses overdrive and if she perfect dodges, Ares get's cancelled. She can use the jump from her combo starter/finisher to avoid the "overdrive roar" but it's not very consistent because of the delay. Her saving grace is face tank drain tanking vs Gallanza and multi bosses, but her DPS still isn't good enough to make up for it. She should be lower than Narmaya. Also, Narmaya over Zeta simply because Narmaya doesn't need to perfect dodge the overdrive roar for her CC since it's a parry, has a lower CC CD, and she can burst them down during that timeframe. Zeta's paralyze is better but she needs to perfect dodge and she can't burst them out before the paralysis ends.

No. Siegfried is S tier 😡Hes boss and helps everyone and puts out solid damage. I said...what I said. 😅

im mvp'ing litterally every Pyet-A and Bahamut on my rosetta, putting her in C Tier is hillarious

#BUFFghandaghoza

Ghandagoza does 41 mill damage in 60 seconds which is top 10% of characters in the game

I dont agree on Rosetta being C tier shes so underrated that putting in C tier basically gets rid of the notion that the guide you made is null and void on the underrated part. She such a good character and honestly she should be ranked much higher because of alot of the stuff she can provide to a team and how flexible she can be too. Hard to play and master to character that doesnt deserve C tier its a crime to rank her that low especially since thats like calling her bad and discouraging people from seeing her true potential and playing her

REALLY hard to take this seriously when you say lack of damage on Vane. You've clearly never tried going with his unique for skill CD on finisher. That, plus supp, he gets his skills back after two combos. And there's very few characters in the game who can possibly outdamage him. And this also means his bubble is up so often it's there for pretty much every mechanic there is. On this one, you flubbed it, strictly by saying he's lacking damage.

Jokes on you! My C tier Rosetta still gets MVP 90% of the time! Jokes aside i love her and get everything done with her, in the end of the day just play what you want.

There is no difference in gran/djeeta tech therefore gran is the better version of the captain

Rosetta C tier??? What a joke.

Dude, you can’t make a tier list without an actual list… Ths rating format isn’t great.

L
