Rain of arrows + Phalanx, enjoy not taking any damage from bosses. Use captain's unique sigil + some cooldown reduction to keep it sustained and enjoy the constant no dmg support, throw on two dps skills to accompany it and have fun.
Hey glad to see you're having a blast. I just beat the story and now the grind has begun to max out my favorite heroes. I am thinking about switching out Djeeta for Vane as my other party members are: Narmaya, Id, Cagliostro atm.
I'm about to unlock Proud mode and I played through everything prior by myself, its actually not too bad by yourself. I dont usually play these kinda games but it feels like it has a smooth enough progression curve that I don't feel like its impossible to get a full team of characters decently powered to take on the tougher challenges. Also Djeeta is best girl and my main as well. Her moves aren't fancy per se but they have a nice flow and rhythm that I enjoy playing.
Endeavouring to attempt to make it more like an JRPG experience by taking things slowly and playing the side missions and quests as they come along. Up to Chapter 6 after 13 hours so far. Love maining as Eugen!
This game is fantastic...the characters are so well designed and fun to use, the animation is on point, the attack and magics are so well done and the world is so beautiful that it reminds me of skies of arcadia. The villages are burstling with life and people going about their business. I just hope there were more towns and interaction with the world...im a fan and have been waiting 8 years for this game
was already wondering where all the granblue videos went after game released cus your pre release coverage was so amazing XD glad youre having a blast too 💖
2:22 I did it with just Gran. The story is pretty easy to complete with just him and no AI party members. Quests are... decidedly different depending on which quest type it is. A number of them took a good bit longer than they would normally but weren't necessarily "harder" if you weren't concerned with getting S++ Ranks though.
Been waiting for this game ever since its announcement, and it sure ended up blowing all my expectation out of the water. I expected it to be good, but it isn't just good. It's actually fantastic and way more packed than I thought.
Finally someone is playing Gran, so hard to find content on it, I just want to see if I like the character enough to buy the game since I love playing basic jack of all trade character
Been having an absolute blast with the game! Got the game during EA on ps5 and I've been enjoying the hell out of it. Also beat the entire game offline with bots. It was definitely much more challenging than playing online but atleast the bots are pretty decent overall.
I just reached endgame. Should I spend mastery on 4 core members equally or focus on one to play throughout? Also, can I reach max level comfortably with Narmaya, Rosetta (non-negotiable, fave char), Katalina and Io? Or should I unlock one more like Cagliostro for an easier time?
I just bought the game and only 3 hours in, was wondering if there's any things I should avoid using until end-game, like fragile resin in Genshin to be used optimally after AR45, is it a good idea to upgrade Captain's sword? the one you get after the starter sword breaks or will i get a stronger sword soon enough and the upgrade mats will go to waste on the 2nd starter sword, any tips and tricks, 5 mistakes to avoid etc.
I'm about 40/50 hours in and my biggest advice would be to focus on 4 characters you like. You'll get enough mats to upgrade and forge 2 or 3 weapons per pretty naturally, I've only target farmed here or there. Look in your inv and make sure you use the rarer stuff on someone you main. For example I've used mostly everything on Rose, Io, Cag, and Lancelot but still have some other 4 or 5k power backups. I think Rose is around 7k. I'm at the threshold of the extreme fights and that fight has been the hardest wall so far. Unlock the crew in the order and frequency that you prefer. They're all viable and it's about your style. Most of the time I like to do 2 ranged, 1 melee dps and 1 tank In the Endgame the most time consuming bit is upgrading your weapons so I think the best thing to focus on is who you eventually want to main most
For recruiting i would recruit probably 1-2 units you really like to play as when you recruit them wuen uour higher levels they come with higher masteries/levels compared if you recruit them early and in endgame the more chars you own the harder it is to get the best weapon on a specifc char you want
Don’t recruit anyone unless you plan to use them . More characters you have unlocked the harder it will to weapon farm for ur specific character at the very end game
I did similar. I think i only did online twice for quick quest. I decided on cag and rosetta as my stable ai teammate. I end up using both rackam and eugen for dps. But i find Io not doing her chrage attack properly. How is your exp with ai Io works for you?
Hey Havian, do you think the devs will address the ongoing issue about save file corruption lately? Since both Auto Save and Steam Cloud can mess up and the only way to back up reliably is by manually doing it every time.
Thought the Captain and the starting party members were probably the best and most balanced to use, especially Eugen since he has Recovery Bullet skill and can act as third healer of sorts while dealing heavy damage
tb you can't import the belial costume from the og granblue fantasy, you can get those if you unlocked belial in gbfversus. Just look at the art. eating the apple belial gives them to turn in delinquent vezrsions of themselves is really cool. tb a man can dream. nice vid btw
Nice fight. I would turn off the ability to have party members activate SBA so you can pop it and save Link Time. meaning when it's at 100%, don't use a link attack to trigger it. I like to pop SBA when the boss has about half of it's overdrive left. that way I can burn down their overdrive bar, when it's broken. you will have a chance to get a link attack. so you'll have break bonus and link time bonus damage. I spam skill. some of the squishier bosses, like the gryphon. I can almost kill it after it's first overdrive and skip all it's mechanics. Leaving on the NPC's ability to use SBA's can be a good thing. you can save yours and use it right after your team does the 3 link burst. when doing this to a boss. it creates another opening for more dps and can interrupt some abilities.
Havian, do you think this game feels like a better and more polished hollow fragment? The Sao games always got me, but this game feels like they do, but worlds ahead. Idk. You were the UA-cam that got me into Sao games and into hollow fragment all those years ago. I wonder if you felt the same
Yeah, I was actually talking to someone about that recently. It has the same vibes as Hollow Fragment, but it's much more fleshed out and polished. It's honestly what I was hoping the SAO series would have become.
I just enter post-story content, and I have to say my favorite party for almost anything is Djeeta, Io, Cagliostro and Zeta. I will work for that grind this weekend
Thanks for all of your coverage of this game, both before an after release! By the way, I haven't progressed very far yet, but I've also only played as the captain (also Djeeta). Oh, yes, and thanks for also having the voices in Japanese. I can't stand the English voice they dubbed for her...
Gotta admire Cygames NOT making this game a triple A gacha game that revolves around microtransactions & overhyped battle gimmicks when they damn well coulda. Instead it's an actually well-made, mechanically intuitive RPG with a solid amount of replay value. Claps for those devs.
I doubt they'll do it especially when they answered the reason they didn't add class change. Its so the classes Granjeeta could use in the mobile game becomes the playstyles for other characters they want to add. Which makes total sense in this game since you can replace the captain in a team.
It happens when you cancel Overdrive Surge into a dodge. You still keep the overdrive surge, but it acts a bit like a jump with some extra airtime. Should be able to do something similar with a normal jump > dodge.
A reason why i don't play JRPG's so often is mostly because they feel overwhelming for me. Either by having to level up and build a whole party or because of the sheer amount of gameplay elements they throw at you for no good reason other then dragging out playtime. Also i don't like that when JRPG's forces you to grind just to get through the main story. It seems not the be a problem with Relink so maybe in the future i will give it a shot.
Nah personally i didnt even have to farm until the hardest difficulty available which is understandable, you can pretty much knock out boss after boss with little to no grinding (picking up some of the freebies along the way) till you reach the first mission of the hardest difficulty
Big No No for me: Grinding belongs to F2P games, not full priced games, leveling needs to be tightly woven into progression. Not being able to change party members during battle or even choosing what ability they're using and when. Takes all the agency right out of the players hands. It's funny that the game that plays itself it's the alledgedly Action RPG and the mobile game has tons more story and active gameplay.
@@SandorThePuppy they literally kinda promotr it as a grindy game from the preview especially back on the first gameplay of the 4 dragon knights lol, they never said that the game is a standard JRPG like FF or Tales series Its your own fault that you cant grasp info of this game lmao

Bro said fuck you to content creation and just played the game for two weeks 😂 I understand that because the game is crazy good
Don't rush a chef when he's cooking and having a taste of the meal. 😂
Aaaaaamd another 2weeks gone lol 😅
this game is what the sao series should've been honestly
Right? 😂😂 shame SAO is being held hostage by Bandai. Bandai never dare to go all out with their IPs. Always been quantity > quality
People acting like Hollow Fragment and Hollow Realization didn't exist. They were great for their time for SAO games
they never evolved over the psp times, 1 precious gem doesn't allow 20 rotten meats@@SirStrikeFreedom

Just wanna point out a good habit that Havian is displaying here. Holding Guard while attacking, and holding guard while dodging.
About Eugen. If you get his Awakening Sigil+, you're set for life on him.
Great video! Very well put together. Also, your voice sounds so powerful and full, huge fan lol
Thought the Captain and the starting party members were probably the best and most balanced to use, especially Eugen since he has Recovery Bullet skill and can act as third healer of sorts while dealing heavy damage
The camera sure loves to tango round and round lol.
The captain is amazing, and my current main.
Hey Havian, would you consider doing videos about characters builds?
Yeah, I got delayed a bit with the Relink videos because of the other Feb games (other video going live later today), but I'll be back on Relink soon.

Id assume youre losing a lot of dmg if youre using terminus weapon and have that much health. It negates the buff when you go over 45k hp
I'm using the sword of Eos
Welcome back my guy
The true tank can perfect guard and perfect dodge without getting hit
Im still hoping they put class change for the captain in future updates or dlc or paid dlc my hopes are waaaay high up there 😅
I doubt they'll do it especially when they answered the reason they didn't add class change.

I really would like to get multi element captain but might too op
Can you play through the story with somebody else?
You can play through with anyone, but the captain just needs to be a member of the party during the story.
