Now for a fun fact about Ferry: The day Celeste was summoned to her island and killed everyone there to turn them into ghosts or undead, the rest of her family survived. Her little sister was sick at the time and her and the rest of her family went to another island to find a doctor to cure her. They were unable to return to the now-called Mist-Shrouded Isle. Time passed on and everyone living on the island lost their identity and sense of time, Ferry included. When a mercenary named Dang finds her, he becomes protective of her and gives her the name Ferry. When his partner Sturm asks him why he gave her that name, he responds that it's the name of her grandma's sister.
Yep most of the game is referenced from the anime, pity no Tiamat as of yet but overall a good series hopefully we get a 3rd sometime soon based off the success of this game.
One more thing: Her permanent def down + atk down counts as a status effect. Which enables the "more atk against enemy with status effect" sigil. So yeah. It's an option for capping her dmg.
You can dodge cancel out of the animation lock of straife near-instantly after you press the input. Just make sure you don't then immediately go into an onslaught (hold Y) attack, as it will cancel the remainder of straife.
Ferry is one of the few characters who relies on animation cancellation and in that case Improved Dodge is really good on her and you can animation cancel out of Strafe and Umlauf since both abilities go off instantly if you dont youre just missing out on dps and wasting a few seconds of stout heart from Umlauf and honestly to the people who wanna play Ferry you dont have to do her launcher into down barrage you can do a mix up of her normal ground attacks dodge to animation cancel into her launcher add a three square combo then down barrage Ferry is very fun dont let the launcher into down barrage stop you like i said just dodge to do animation cancel its very beneficial for her
yay a Ferry guide! havent been really doing the launch + dive attack cheese tho. i play with friends so i do carry along her slowing skill instead of Umlauf just to help out but i am horrible at throwing it down and majority of the time it just completely misses cause it doesnt auto aim like other skills haha. I do wish they add a color set for her with red or purple hair in the future. probably just me, but i think they should make more games with Whip wielders! or make whips a staple weapon for MMORPGs lol
Artwork was very good btw Ferry is one of the characters I use, my mains Zeta but she is one of the others I’m building on and getting up to decent level (with her, zeta and Eugen I can afk farm certain proud missions which takes away the tedious aspect of farming the same level over and over) My build seems to lack damage and I had never seen the cheese tactic. I prefer playing characters the way I find effective and jumping up and down endlessly is not my idea of fun 😂 I do wish that I had more supplementary dmg sigils though, saying that it would be nice to see many different builds and not just pretty much the same one for every character in gran blue. Good video though enjoyed it
I'm going to give you massive props for being the only CC who actually puts effort into pronouncing the German skill names. Well except Strafe, but I can forgive that one :P (it's not 'strafe' but 'Strafe' the German word for "punishment") Also Purge Spirits does super high stun and with stun sigils and stun weapon (like over 200 stun power) you can legit stun bosses at very opportune moments and disrupt their phases entirely.
I have to imagine the devs are paying attention to problems like this where the "proper" or intended playstyle is just not working but cheese is going above and beyond. I hope that they fix her up by improving her normal and onslaught attacks and not JUST nerf the jump slam, because then she would be pretty useless and that makes me sad. That said I have a feeling we wont see any balance changes until the march update. Just a gut feeling.
Fox Zombie!!! :) I was seeing a lot of her previously but not as much now, and I don't think I've ever noticed the jump cheese - reminds me of when I played the first Mortal Kombat lmao Definitely not a fan of playing her that way. I doubt it will get patched out, but I do hope she gets some adjustments to incentivize playing her as intended.
Question. With Hintechten, it applies a 30% crit rate bonus. Your sigils in your set up give you 100% crit already. Would some of those sigils be redundant with the buff? It seems like there's no reason not to have full buff on at any time so why the extra crit?
If you onslaught too close to a target the pets will disappear most of the time losing the end loaded damage from the final hit. If you use umlauf before strafe it will be a damage loss as 4th pet will not go out during strafe attack. The above also applies to all your buff skills as if you umlauf before these buffs the 4th pet effect will not be applied. Game has a lot of cleanup it needs to do for not just ferry but a lot of characters.
intended way to play ferry is the must fun char i played, unfortunately she's incredibly weak if played that way. on the other hand jump spam ferry is extremely unfun but is actually good damage. hopefully they flip this in the future.
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 would recommend going with whatever party members you want, you’re going to spend a lot of time with them, and pick the ones you think you might play later on or just have a break off your main, but saying that definitely focus on your main, the fight to unlock the hardest difficulty is very hard with ai, unless you gear them really well, it’s just more efficient to put all the resources into one character.
I feel like her damage is so lacking I regret starting off with her now I'm stuck using a character that hits like a wet noodle takes forever to farm a up a new character because of the garbage drop rates
Something odd about this. I watched this video and then went to the dummy. I tested Jump spam Ferry versus Hold Square / X Ferry while optimizing dumping spirits in link attack. Results : Spam 6/ Hold Square 4 / A.I. 0
Keep in mind, I am still in Maniac mode so her DMG cap is barely uncapped. I think I was at 27/45? Also she was using a level 125 Stun Whip because I was behind on mats for her Crit whip and the Ascended Whip. Maybe with a lot of V+ sigils it alters the numbers in favor of pogo Ferry
@@IMRavnos around endgame builds 20k+power you will do about 2x damage by just launch>slam vs proper pet management and onslaught usage. her dps with her proper onslaught playstyle is one of the lowest in the game (around 16-18mil dmg in 60s on dummy), with jump slam it's decently high (32~mil in 60s on dummy) i hope the developers do fix this and make onslaught playstyle actually much better than jump slam

Ehh thirdly you forgot that you can tap onslaught before link attacking to dump spirit and regain them. And you should. It's massive dmg.

I literally used the same skills as you but had no idea about the jump attacks lol. Thanks I didn't know this excited

not using her actively but still using her as one of my 3 pets on my party
Pls do rosetta
What should i focus for her over mastery? does she benefit more from attack or skill dmg?

Omg so that’s why she gets her gauge up so quickly?! TF!?

i really hope her onslaught gets buffed in some way i think its only fair that the playstyle the game advertise her as should be viable in endgame
