Granblue Fantasy Versus -Rising- Most Wanted Characters

Granblue Fantasy is a gacha game series published by Cygames, it had a fairly successful fighting game published by Arc System Works and now that game is getting a sequel. The series has a ton of characters would work perfectly as a fighting game character. The characters are original, flashy, and overall pretty fun. While Gacha's are just casinos in our pocket meant to fuck us over by getting us emotionally attached to a character, even I am only human and ya know enjoy GBF. So I wanted to go over the characters I want in Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising most because well, any time they make a video game about these characters it's better then spending time playing the Casino game.

This list isn't in order, just 10 of my most wanted characters explaining a bit about who they are, why I like them and why I think they could be fun in a fighting game.

Silva

Silva feels like she would be the ultimate zoner. Her skills with the gun are on par with her girlfriend Song's skills with the bow and she is said to be one of the most powerful people in the whole world. She's a plucky adventure, she is popular, she has a full family of characters who could make cameos in her move sets and supers. I think she could work similarly to a character like Happy Chaos but with a much more down to earth flare then the wildness he brings to the table.

Lunalu

I think realistic Lunalu's chances are the lowest on this list but I think she would be so funny and if they are gonna put out a new joke character I think she would be the coolest character to use. Her ultimate could have her turn each individual character into a drawing for one of her romance manga's serving up exciting and well loved moments like Faust gives to Guilty Gear. Playstyle wise she could be a character who needs to gather resources to prepare to fight then unleash her fantasy form to fight like a top tier but only after spending some time as the worst character in the game. I really just think this manga artist is so good and she is like the only Harvin I really really like.

Ange

I mean any of the sapphic characters not already on this list or in the game could be in this slot but I just thin Ange deserves more love. Her fancy dual blades yet fencer fighting style could make for a very fun Mid Range style maybe with a tip mechanic like Marth from Smash Bros want to hit the foe at the right spot of your weapon to deal extra damage. Her whole thing in the game series is that she was to impress girls and be a dazzling prince for a princess. So I imagine there would be a fun flashy flare to every single attack like a rose petal effect.

Gold Knight aka Alliah

While main story characters are represented to some extent, these are mostly early story characters. Gold Knight has the honor of being a main baddy of the second arc and also being extremally important to the current arc. Gold Knight is extremal powerful and her ability to copy buffs, debuffs and do double supers really gives her such a wide range to pull from. She could be like a Seth from Street Fighter stealing some moves from other characters either in the game or not in it or she could be like a heavier argo character.

Makura

Makura is one of the Zodiacs, the most recent one representing the year of the rabbit. If I ever saw a rush down character, it be her, she looks utterly perfect for a hyper agro play style dashing in maybe having her rabbit friends provide her with ways of getting in against zoning.

[Note I wrote this before the new zodiac character was announced, I think she is a great choice for the game, sheep woulda been like my 3rd pick but a very strong 3rd.]

Apollina aka Black Knight and Orchid

Black Knight was basically the main direct Villain of the first arc of Granblue Fantasy, the Darth Vader to the actual main baddies Emperor. Orchid is always by her side and both characters are intertwined in such a way that I think it's better to do them together then apart. I think BK and Orchid could easily be a sort of "puppet" fighter with Orchid and Black Knight fighting together on the battlefield, Orchid setting up defensive options while BK is the offensive hand. Proper positioning of both units being needed to fully use the character.

Fediel

Fediel is the dark Advent Dragon and is one of the most popular characters in Granblue Fantasy. She was released after the polling for rising so who knows what that means for her chance to get in, they clearly preplanned a lot about the Advent Dragon Story, it's very possible they talked to Arcsys and knew they stuck gold handing them the character. Regardless she should get in. She has cool zombie dragon powers, she would play unlike most other characters could with only a few other characters having comparable skills. I think she would be an interesting status fighter using status's to move forward an advantage.

Meg

The queen of Summer, Meg is one of the most fun characters the team at Cygames has ever written. I think she would be an amazing mix of joke character and serious character in a way that so few other characters can really bring to the table. She is serious and badass in battle but she fighters with a shark for a hand and is kinda a silly goofy girl. She would have funny little intro lines about getting ready for another great summer only to go all killer mode during battle. It be amazing, fantastic, stupendous even. I think meg is a hyper close range rushdown type. I think she would have the closest range in the game but higher combo potential as a reward. Getting in is hard but if you get in you can touch of death way easier.

Nier

The Evokers have plenty of great candidates for a character and I would be happy with a lot of them but Nier for my money is maybe the most fun. She is a perfect candidate to play like phoenix from UMVC3. She could have a reviving from the dead mechanic that puts her into a wildly powerful mode but also have the smallest health bar, smallest defenses. It's easy for weak characters to touch of death her and out of rezed mode she would not be particularly strong but in rezed mode she would have the most damage and most speed in the game.

Tikoh

Tikoh is two souls in one body, a young girl who was fused into her and herself. The pair dealt with a shocking horrifying event for the general tone of the gacha and the plural vibes plus general personality of these two really drew me in. Tikoh is the coolest healer character they've ever made and I think they can really represent healers in a fun way by using Tikoh as a more aggressive but more sustainable fighter. Perhaps she can switch between modes like in GBF where in one mode she deals way less damage but her bar is constantly healing meaning if you can't get in your fucked and then having a damaging mode where she doesn't heal but trades that for fighting like a normal character.

Who do you plan to get with your siero ticket in GBF? I've had just enough moons for a bit, but I have absolutely no idea what to go for, since there aren't any summons I particularly want, nor any waifus that I particularly want but don't have. I've been debating between S. Grea to round out my kengonito team, or maybe just ixaba for the weapon, but both feel like wastes for that many gold moons

debating between using it on sariel or just grabbing someone i dont feel like saving a spark for. like shalem, olivia, black knight, rei, etc

The twst dorm leaders playing gbf, purely for meme purposes, something i spent too much time on. below the cut for long post.

Riddle

⁃ Rank 101

⁃ Plays casually but consistently, riddle is a perfectionist and wants to make his teams good, but he’s also realistic and pragmatic. He knows he’s a busy guy, and can’t join trains all day to bust up all his grids at once

⁃ The type to focus on one team at a time based on a predetermined order. Probably not in a crew (if he is, it’s just him, Cater and some of Cater’s friends) so he doesn’t worry about guild wars and building his teams based on that.

⁃ f2p, he’s responsible with his money. probably mains light since he likes the comfort of a high hp pool + stamina, and the typical light play style is reliable and safe.

⁃ Has only recruited one eternal—funf. Her voice probably drives him up the wall, but he likes the security of her heals to his light team. Is planning on 5*ing her!

⁃ favourite class is doctor. Practical, and he won’t admit it but sexy as fuck

⁃ He plays for the gameplay rather than the story/characters, the one exception is sandalphon, who he is incredibly fond of!!! he reads stories if the plot interests him, however, and if he’s got some spare time.

Leona

⁃ Rank 1

⁃ Leona doesn’t play he’s in it like a collecting game and so ruggie can use his randomly lucksacked mlb shiva as a support summon

⁃ like vil, plays on roulette season

⁃ reads some stories, but on ruggies account bc he cba to unlock them himself

⁃ ruggie made a joke about leona being percival ‘if he lost his sense of honour’ which made leona go and read the dragon knights stories

⁃ bruh he fucking stans percy so hard after reading between frost and flame but he won’t admit it

⁃ frequently throws money at the game just because he feels like pulling in gacha. ruggie is crying. leona don’t buy the scam star draw set you don’t even play the game please

⁃ is always really lucky in gacha

Azul

⁃ Rank 200

⁃ Only started playing recently, but was determined to catch up to Idia and become the best player so he got the twins and some poor unfortunate souls to help him grind and pay his way to instant victory

⁃ Doesn’t care for the plot, is purely driven by competition and wanting to have the best grids at any given time. Mains water for the Octavinelle Aesthetic and bitches about having to play the summer cagliostro crit setup to compete with other elements.

⁃ Likes quatre because they are both driven purely by spite and revenge, and is desperate for him to get a rebalance so he can run him w/ a clear conscience

⁃ Also likes Six, probably cried like a bitchboy during seeds of redemption which is to this date the only story he has read but you didn’t hear it from me

⁃ In a crew with idia and is waiting to overthrow him as captain

⁃ Has a weird spreadsheet showing exactly when to cast a status effect for it to land with the highest success that’s virtually unreadable to anyone aside from him

⁃ Plays chaos ruler as default bc he thinks it looks cool

⁃ sparks for the weapon rather than the character

⁃ hates farming for mats and gets the twins/his slaves to do his dailies when he’s busy a lot of the time god i wish i had slaves to farm ubaha host mats for me rn

Kalim

⁃ Rank 50 but his grids are the best of anyone in the game bc haha money go brrrr

⁃ He is cursed with bad gacha luck, and managed to deck himself out with the sexiest primal grid possible (puts idia’s to shame) thanks to jamils help, and a lot of money spent on trying to get Vikala’s ssr (before realising the spark function existed...)

⁃ He doesn’t favour any element, because he likes all the characters! He has a soft spot for Anila and Vikala though, since they’re so adorable and fun!

⁃ Doesn’t play seriously and mostly just reads the stories, idia wants to cry when he sees his fire grid with four flb ixabas going to waste

⁃ He likes Sarasa, and thinks she’s really funny, so when he does play it’s mostly grinding to recruit her!

⁃ Actually likes Vyrn and doesn’t find him annoying! has actually read the main story.

⁃ solos as soon as he has 300 crystals, he literally can’t save, i hate it here

⁃ his favourite class is lumberjack, but he hasn’t unlocked it yet ;-; ccws are hard to forge for rank 100 and below ;-;

Vil

⁃ Rank 25

⁃ seasonal player, shows up for roulette season and then leaves

⁃ downloaded the game because of the pretty art and the cute character designs, but can’t be bothered to learn how to play—he’s a busy man!

⁃ Europa was his first SSR and is still one of his favourite characters, she’s so pretty! He also loves michael and gabriel, and would start playing properly if they became playable mark my words

⁃ won’t admit it but probably wants belial to smear his makeup a little

⁃ kinda a basic bitch, has only read the wmtsb series cried at the ‘i’ll be waiting’ scene

⁃ criticises the fashion choices of every character he pulls, summons included. Won’t go into raids if the boss is ugly.

⁃ Does his makeup with zero playing in the bg and once parades lust...

Idia

⁃ Rank 275

⁃ that insane player who has soloed faasan hl in every element, has all the eternals 5*ed + the sexy blue skin, and all the evokers

⁃ a legendary figure in the community

⁃ plays as tormentor in every team bc he’s that bitch and also has a damascus knife mh for every element even if he doesn’t always use it

⁃ is both serious abt gameplay and the characters, watches all the gbf channel episodes and keeps up with news

⁃ was probably in a gbfvs tournament

⁃ his favourite character is caim, who reminds him of ortho with his childish innocence! Second is Nio, who is quiet and cute! He’s fond of a lot of characters though, like esser, funf, ferry and narmaya.

⁃ Strictly plays with his faves, but his grids are so good that he manages to make any setup meta.

⁃ Has siero scratcher ptsd bc it didn’t give him his third flb blue sphere but got tempted with it so. many. times.

⁃ Is in a guild w/ azul and ortho + some internet friends and if anyone doesn’t meet the gw quota in a day he screams at them w his hair all red and angry

⁃ owns the gisla body pillow.

⁃ He mains all elements. He has a primal whale grid for every element. His favourite to play with is probably wind, because he thinks it has the most flexibility in its play style. Hes a little mad that winds evoker is not as good as most of the others...

⁃ Idia: “i play for strategy” also idia: ‘gets fraux before alanaan bc the waifu is too strong’

Malleus

⁃ Rank 200

⁃ he can’t play, he’s just been farming tiamat omega raids daily since the games launch

⁃ he downloaded it to get closer to lilia, who is really *really* trying to teach him how to play with... little success

⁃ Still, he doesn’t give up!

⁃ Used his free gold bar uncapping a celeste horn

⁃ forgot to collect his free eternal

⁃ used parazonium as skill fodder (dw malmal i did the same and i live with the guilt)

⁃ uses auto select for his grids

⁃ lilia is crying in the background and often steps in to make the grids himself, but malleus always accidentally deletes them...

⁃ his favourite character is vania, she reminds him of lilia! and also, himself, in a strange way...

⁃ he also likes song, and has worked very hard to recruit her! he almost cried reading about how she was ostracised in her village for her talent at archery, and how lonely she feels, even in the eternals.

⁃ whenever the characters give him a seasonal message, he cries

⁃ gives valentines/white day/christmas gifts to every single character he has

(Can I request gbf Lucio in like medieval era) You, a renowned knight, have managed to subdue the dragon terrorizing the kingdom and archbishop Lucio will glady reward you. Except he knew of your inexcusable actions to defeat the dragon (you fukd it) and so he intends to punish you instead for being for sinful

I WANT THIS SCENE BUT LUCIO INSTEAD

“Ahh~a, have my sermons become boring to you, angel? To an extent, I can see why you chose to lie with the forsaken beast. Still~”

Sweet, teasing words were huffed into your ear, carried by the hottest of breath all while long slender fingers cradled beneath your jaw, keeping your head still as lips brushed against your neck for tender kisses.

And to mark over bites and suckles left on your skin during the passionate rage of the now slumbering dragonking Belial.

Within the holy sanctuary permitted only for the use of archbishop Lucio, the two of you continued on with your confession, one held in absolute secrecy upon your return from your recent conquest. While seated upon his cathedra of fine crimson velvet, ornate gold and flawless ivory, he cradled you close to him.

As per the specifications for this unique confession, he had you strip fully before him--a discarding of modesty to keep yourself open and vulnerable for forgiveness. He drew your naked form right up against his bared chest, his sanctified robes hanging loosely off of him while he had you bounce upon his lap. On and on, he continued to flood your core with his seed as he drove the long length of his cock into you from behind, his rhythm brisk and fluid.

The purpose of your visit was to receive your earnest plea for forgiveness. And yet, with each moan you let out, Lucio couldn’t help but find the sound addictive to his ears while the way your walls squeezed around his cock to be like that of heaven.

He turned your head to the side before he quickly captured your lips for a kiss he desired with much need. Finding himself becoming breathless with pleasure, he at last finished where his words previously trailed off as he hummed with a smile,

“I would not mind changing my presentation just for you~”

Hey, I know you play gbf. I kinda want to get into it so i was wondering is it good story-wise and gameplay-wise? Is it any better than FGO? For me personally the story plays an important role for getting into franchise... but i also like how they handle life events (so different from fgo wow) and how they design their characters.. its good

Gameplay: It's far more grindy than FGO. A lot more grindy, but it's got a newbie campaign currently with the Demon Slayer collab (with 3 free SSR units that are solid) that helps you to set up Magna/Omega Fire. You pace yourself, join a crew who might help you, and just keep in mind there's no need to rush anything unless you really want to be competitive.

Music/graphics: The sprites are chibi-ish, but the artwork, and ost are impeccable. It’s a seriously good soundtrack.

Gacha/Characters: This is both better and worse than FGO. Worse because you need to have good summons and weapon grid and not just characters, but better because there's a safety net (sparking in a banner, tickets-including siero ticket you can purchase with 150 gold moons, that lets you choose anything including unsparkable units). The rates are better too, and there are campaigns of daily free 10 rolls sometimes (there’s one right now) and gachapin roulette (starts this 22nd). So this is a good moment to start. There's something for everyone here, although there will be more girls in skimpy clothes, there are Holiday male units including Summer, Christmas, Halloween and (last year) there was even a Valentine one. There are also free SR and SSR units in the sidestories (those are old events you can access), and broken grindable SSR you can slowly build known as the Evokers and the Eternals. You can see the character designs in those links.

Plot: The story is... hit and miss, it’s slow but the end of the first Arc and the beginning of the Second Arc it’s actually solid for a RPG. The setting is really great, a world made of floating islands you explore, that has a myriad of fantasy species. But it is even less updated than FGO lately, it feels like is stagnant and not going anywhere. Is this bad? No, because the real meat is the side story/events. This is a point that differs from FGO. Not all have the same quality of writing, but you can sort by themes, there are flavored ones following a certain group or characters. Including an endearing mecha parody trilogy (soon a new installment) called Robomi saga, the Society/Foe that is more sci-fi thriller conspiracy involving the Moon dwellers, the more high fantasy arc of the Dragon Knights (inspired by Arthurian Legends, Siegfried, etc but reimagined as original characters of the setting), some humor/SOL ones that do a recap of what happened until now (like the ones with the Lowain Bros), the ones who are about Alchemy (with Cagliostro and her disciple as usual protagonists), and not forgetting the "event" that has cannibalized the main story and has become the actual focus on the A Team: the genesis/angel saga that began in the 2017-2019 anniversary Trilogy, What Makes the Sky Blue? and it is continuously updated after it finished in other events and also story-cut raids you can access like "Tower of Babyl” (if it’s too high ranked, you can see the clears in youtube). The video game Versus which is also a spinoff the angel/genesis saga. The genesis saga usually involves a huge cast crossover when it gets serious. Unlike FGO, you can access the events in the sidebar: Sidestory, some will ask requirements of completing the main story at a certain point.

I’m not sure if this is important, but there’s barely forced romantic scenes outside personal Valentines/White Day or character “Fates” (their interlude), the main story and events don’t really have that kind of pandering which I find more appealing (to keep that mostly to rolled units if you really want to have it).

This is something like an extra, but like FGO belongs to a bigger universe, there’s a lot of Cygames previous characters (usually updated for Granblue setting) in the game, in particular, it derivates from Rage of Bahamut (as one of the many worlds made by Bahamut, but softer than ROB). It’s not necessary to know any of them beforehand, but just a heads up of why some “exported” characters might have privileges to be made SSR immediately.

#gbf ask #I hope this was helpful!#my brain is bye bye after the stream #if someone wants to add something please do!

ZGMF-X19AK Gundam Justice Knight

Credit to Kazami, this is a very well put together Gunpla. Its level of polish is very high, it has a strong aesthetic, and the support unit is a nice non-intrusive gimmick. I could easily imagine this being in the Top 8 of GBF or GBFT’s tournaments. Except, and I feel this is why Kazami is the weakest member of his team, its loadout sucks. It has the equivalent of four vulcans, a beam gun, a beam saber, and a pointy stick. It probably would lose to the Build Strike Full Package in a straight tussle. He’s probably better flying around as just the support unit since it has the same firepower and is harder to hit (a reoccurring problem for Kazami). Still enjoyed how his episode arc went, even if his general performance wasn’t really addressed.

The Good: This is gonna be a good year. This kit easily stands up with a lot of the modern HGUC kits I’ve seen, making full use of its parts count, minimal stickers, and no polycaps. Each foot alone is eight components compared to the usual two or three of some older kits. And if you hadn’t guessed, it’s an original kit, too. It doesn’t go back and use runners from any other version of the Infinite Justice.

It has insane levels of posability. There are some dedicated levels of engineering to keep those shoulders out of the way of its arms, it has articulated toes and verniers in those toes, its backpack moves on multiple axis, and its hips are crazy. The side hip skirts have a dedicated joint to slide backward out of the way at a natural angle, and its hips have an additional extension which can be locked in place using its back hip skirt. I think they’re there so you can mimic Kazami’s posing.

I also want to mention the shield. It has a handle and an arm plug, but the shield has a squared off part of the handle so it doesn’t rock when being held out forward, and the plug has four mounting points so it can be placed in different direction. Not only that, it also has storage for those parts built in.

The Bad: The biggest articulative downside is that shield. The extra parts hanging off the shoulder pauldrons get in the way when mounted on the arm. They themselves being articulated helps, but it’s still awkward. And on the details front, only because the rest of the kit is so pristine, the lack of any purple on the back hip skirt disappoints me. I almost had a color match for it, but it was too dark. Ended up painting it gold.

The Details: I did a lot on this kit. Like I mentioned when I did Earthree Gundam, I’m doing the panel lining for all of BUiLD DIVERS in metallic green, which looks good on the Justice Knight, especially in larger spots like on the knees. Almost all the verniers are in green as well, with the only exceptions being the ones on the lance and shield in black. I also, early on, painted the chest vulcans gold, and stupidly thought “I should color match,” and so I repainted all the gold parts. It wasn’t as bad as usual, though, thanks to the help of my new Mr. Paintstation!

No, seriously, I got these on a whim since I see them in official Gunpla stuff sometimes, and they’re actually really useful. Really helped out with all the major repainting I had to do. And it all turned out well. In addition to the repaints, I also painted the beam guns in the shot lance, the details on the shield, and the hilt of the sword. I left the sword blade white and only painted the recessed areas of the handle (in black). In my experience, when dealing with sheathed swords, painting the blade if you intend to sheath it results in a lot of chipping, and the same goes for a handle you keep putting it in and taking it out of a hand. It’s an instance of “I don’t want to keep repainting this.”

Overall, this is a great kit. Great build, great articulation, very little downside, and a decent price. Definite recommendation if you’re enjoying the show, strong recommendation if you enjoy a good build.

Beginnings at a glance

This is the post at the most risk of information overload so I will try to keep everything as brief as possible. Each section will link away to another post with more in-depth information if you want to know more, but this post alone should give you enough to get by at the start.

gacha

classes

grids

upgrading

other advice/pitfalls

Gacha

The game refers to gacha summoning for chars, weapons and summons as “drawing” (like cards from a deck), and there are two pools: premium draw, and rupie draw. If you remember to, do the daily free rupie draw, but otherwise ignore it for now. The premium draw is where the good stuff comes from, and you should only summon from the premium draw during a “Gala,” during which SSR rates are doubled.

Don’t summon unless it says double rates (or if you’re not sure, ask someone)! The exception being if there’s a promotion or event that offers free draws, which you can’t save for later so you might as well use them.

other notes about the gacha:

You obtain most new characters by obtaining their weapon from the summon pool.

Keep all gacha SSR weapons (don’t sell, reduce, or use to upgrade other weapons)

more on classes

Grids

If you click on the ‘weapon’ option in your party menu, you’ll probably see this confusing monstrosity of a game mechanic.

This is your weapon grid. It’s simultaneously the best and worst thing about gbf. Rather than equipping individual characters with their own weapons, all of your party’s characters’ base stats are modified by the weapons you put in your grid. For now though, punch that auto select button and pick whatever element you have the most ssr chars for and let it pick for you. The finer details can come later since you can’t do much with it right now anyway. There’s a smaller summon grid as well that functions similarly. If you Auto select on the character screen it’ll take care of your characters, weapons, and summons and summons together.

[a lot] more on grids.

Upgrading

Cygames does this annoying thing where you can upgrade everything, and when you’ve hit the max level, you can ‘uncap’ the max level so that it can go even higher. You can upgrade and uncap characters, weapons, and summons. The little stars represent how many times something has been uncapped.

Chars require farmable items, but normally weapons and summons require duplicates to uncap. There are however earnable items that can be used in place of duplicates. If a promotion gifts you a gold bar, don’t use it to uncap, it’s an extremely valuable and limited resource for another part of the game.

I don’t have one atm, but this is that they look like. Don’t use these to uncap.

more about uncapping

Other advice/pitfalls

Early on (roughly the first 30 or so ranks) you’ll be ranking up so frequently that you may not be able to use your AP and EP as fast as you’re recovering them. That’s normal, don’t worry about it.

Don’t use full elixir’s to revive in battle unless you can clear the battle within a few more turns AND don’t need to grind said battle repeatedly.

Don’t waste materials exchanging for R, SR weapons, or sr summons in the shop>treasure trade (excluding white rabbit but that comes later).

With that out of the way, let’s move on!

Now that the 7th anniversary roulette is over in GBF, here’s one giant post going over everything I got from it. I had to make a whole note on my computer listing everything just to remember it all, but it was worth it, lol.

This is gonna be long, so I’ll put it under a cut.

TL;DR: 19 days of pretty much hot garbage, ending with a surprisingly good spark that I wasn’t even initially expecting to do.

I’m gonna just copy-paste my exact notes since it’d be a lot easier than trying to summarize it here.

I know there was no real point even caring about all the stuff on the scratchers that I didn’t get, since the whole thing’s rigged and I was never gonna get them anyway, but I wanted to note it down just to highlight how much misery they put me through, lmao. The only grand weapon I got was a Rackam dupe, and that’s not even one of the good grand weapons, if I wanted to get into making an Agni grid.

The roulette pulls before the spark were also pretty bad, but probably not as bad on average as the scratchers. I at least got some actual new characters out of them, lol. From the ones I got, I decided to level up Dark Vira since I was already leveling up some of my other dark characters, but I dunno if I’ll ever use her. Dark is probably the element I have the fewest characters in, but I have enough good ones that there’s probably no real place for her in my team, especially after I get Six. I’m also leveling up Water Silva now along with Vajra, and I might end up using both of them in my water GW team. At least with the current state of my water grid, I think Silva might work pretty well for OTK purposes. I’ll probably also level up Europa and Macula Marius soon too, but I dunno how much I’ll actually use them. Macula will at least be nice as a backline unit to make Romeo even better, at least.

Other than that, I probably won’t use Florence since she just seems kinda niche, and I have enough good wind units, even though I like her design a lot. Shitori seems kinda meh compared to all the light units I’ve got at this point, so I dunno if I’d use her outside of maybe OTK stuff, but I think we also just got done with light GW a few months ago, lol. And since I continue to have way more earth units than I know what to do with, Herja’s at basically the bottom of the pile.

I also got a few new random SRs, but aside from using Summer Ayer and his new EX pose as a skin for his normal version, I probably won’t use them.

Then we get into the spark itself on the gala banner at the end of the month, which at least went a long way to redeem my mediocre rolls leading up to that point. Ignoring the fact that I had like 1% left to the gachapin frenzy meter on the final day and that all went to waste, lol.

Even though I did buy the annitix [which I used to get Halloween VasZeta] as well as both Yuisis and Yurius’ anniversary skins, I still would have been able to spark here without any of that, which is kinda surprising since I basically used my entire stash last month to spark V-Aglovale knowing full well that it’d probably ruin my chances to spark here. I actually ended up with nearly 70 summons worth of crystals left in my stash, and I still have like eight or so side-stories, 40-ish chapters of the main campaign, and a whole lot of fate episodes to get through. So I’ll probably be able to spark for summer as well. Super Mukku really put in a lot of work by giving me 50 extra free rolls on top of everything else.

Anyway, Vajra was my spark target, since water GW is coming up, and she’d probably benefit me more than the other zodiacs would, so I ended up just getting her that way at the end of it all. I still want to get Mahira eventually, but I just don’t think I’d get as much out of her right now. I actually might have been somewhat tempted to spark Catura since I have most of the other main wind units including V-Grimnir, but obviously I didn’t end up needing to spark her anyway, lol.

I’m still kinda baffled that I got not one but TWO copies of Catura from this banner. I would have preferred to just have gotten a second new zodiac instead, but this was at least really funny. So now I guess I’m leveling her up, along with Summer Korwa, who I also somehow lucked my way into. I’ve heard that she works nicely with Catura, so that works out really nicely. I do already have regular Korwa as well, but I’ve been wanting Summer Korwa ever since I heard about her rebalance. I’m quickly hitting the point of having more wind units than I can reasonably use, but it’s nice to have her.

Also on the note of wind units that I stumbled my way into getting, I now have Scathacha. I knew about her as a character since I already have Wind Naoise, and I got her Valentines alt last month, but I only just looked into her kit now that I have her, lol. I’m actually pretty happy to get her, since she sounds like she synergizes really well with my wind roster. Mainly since she has full uptime on wind attack buffs to pair with Grimnir’s passive, as well as providing team echoes for V-Grimnir’s passive and both of their team shields. It also sounds like it’d synergize really nicely with Relic Buster’s team shield ability as well. I’d like to also find a use for Summer Korwa, but I could actually see myself using Scathacha in my core wind team after I level her up.

In terms of earth units, I’m probably never gonna use Hallessena since I have other units that are less risky than her to use, but it’s nice to have her. I at least like her as a character, going by the Robomi events. But aside from her [and VasZeta from my annitix], Grand Leona is probably one of the big surprises from this spark. I might actually see myself replacing Baal with her in my main earth team, since I feel like he doesn’t really do a whole lot outside of his Session buff. She also benefits from Melleau’s passive, even though she won’t benefit from Hollowsky Axe. Now that I have both her and Grand Rein, it makes me even more interested in getting Cain later, but we’ll see how that goes.

I also got Water Chatlotta along with the other new water units I got, but like with Macula I think I’m only gonna use her for her backline passive. But it’s nice to have her just for that, since it seems pretty important for certain specific set-ups that need her extra bit of charge bar.

While I’m thinking about it, I think this Danua dupe is now my *fourth* copy of her weapon, so I guess I can just fuse them all together if I want to uncap it. I probably won’t bother, though. It seems like one of the few enmity-based light gacha weapons, so it’s probably worth keeping them separate just to be safe.

Funnily enough, even though I keep saying that dark is probably my thinnest roster at the moment, I dunno if I’m gonna use or bother leveling up Dark Jeanne or Freezie. I don’t think either of them will do enough for me at the moment. But it’s always nice to get new characters. Same goes for Light Zooey and Fire Clarisse as well.

Oh yeah, and I also got the anniversary scamcha. Which I wasn’t really planning to do, and I obviously didn’t even need to do it to finish the spark, but like with the other stuff I got this month, I’ve been really needing some retail therapy lately because of IRL stuff, so here we are, lol. Part of me kinda regrets it, but it ended up getting me Noa, so it worked out for the best. It probably would have been ideal to get either Vajra or Mahira instead, but in terms of the gala units from this pool, Noa was probably the one that I wanted most. I dunno if I’m even in a position to get much use out of him, but it’s really nice to have him.

Athena was also a huge surprise. She was on my list of suptix targets, so it’s nice to cross her off the list. I dunno how much use I’ll get out of her in the short term since I have Fire Siegfried already, but I can tell that she’ll be good to have in the long run. For a long time my flame roster felt really weak and empty, but it’s REALLY improved over the last few months, now that I have Zeta, Yuisis, Siegfried, C-Nemone, Yuel, and Athena.

I didn’t get many interesting summons this time, but Zirnitra’s HP sub-aura will be nice, and Demonbream might be good for wind enmity stuff. I did get another copy of Agni, but I’m not really anywhere close to being able to make an actual Agni grid. Which makes it hurt all the more to be taunted with Sturm twice in the scratchers, lol.

On the one hand I’m glad that magnafes is being extended so I have more time to hopefully level up some of these new units with the campaign quest, but on the other hand I’ve already spent so much time grinding that map during this event that it’s kinda driving me insane. At the very least I really want to level up Vajra in time for water GW.

I guess now my priority is to save for a spark during summer. I’d like to spark Mahira at some point, but I might end up sparking a new summer unit or something instead.

I dunno when the next suptix will happen, but my current main targets for it are Light Percival and Dark Eustace. Percival seems way better after his rebalance, and he seems to synergize really well with V-Aglovale, and Eustace seems really good with his 5-star uncap. I’ll probably end up going for Percival, but we’ll see.

I’m also putting off getting into the whole M2 grind, not to mention stuff like Akasha and the dragon raids that I can do now that I’m over rank 150, lol. I wasn’t even expecting to get that high anytime soon, but the recent exp boosting event got me way more ranks than I was expecting. Either way, I can’t really act like I’m particularly limited by my roster of characters at this point, so I mostly just have to motivate myself to get into it. I do still need to do some extra stuff with my grids first, like getting my seraphic weapons to SSR, and getting my Omega summons to 4-star, though.

So yeah I think the spark itself ended up going really well, even if the journey up to that point was kinda bad, lol.
