The Most Interesting Non-Endgame Raid Fights - Granblue Fantasy

It's not like any of us actually engage in any of these mechanics, but it's cool to think about.
Granblue Fantasy's main gameplay focus is on raid battles. These encounters can be played anywhere from solo to up to 30 players at once. Some fights are really challenging even when in a full group, like Dark Rapture Zero or Hexachromatic Hierarch.
But if I had to guess, I'd say that most people find enjoyment in trying to solo these fights. No external help, just you, the enemy, and the reload screen, in a staring contest for 30 minutes.
Today, let's take a look at game design: The fights that I think have the coolest mechanics and ideas behind them. If we ignore the endgame fights, of course.
Also, as a follow-up to what I talked about last week: I didn't really see any differences in numbers comparing the big description on Marquiares' video with the small one in Samurai Trails' one. So I'm not sure. Maybe that one was too short? I'm trying a longer one this time. But also Marquiares' is not a very interesting topic. Lots to think about.

I think you made good choices. Discounting subaha/hexa/faa0 Id say my favorites are:
Rose Queen: a unique middle phase throws the pace off as you break through the reflection turns and work towards bursting down her last 10-25%. Power crept tho.
UBHL: high af def pushes comps to balance offense and cap up while offering a mix of disruption powerful kill moves and obstacles I think it aged alot better than faahl even tho its easier to burst.
Sieg: prolly the worst revans to farm but the most fun to first clear. Stacks require a balance of build strat and omen clearing with enough flexibility to not feel like a complete chara check. Unfortunately that means it takes awhile and can't really be FA'd which makes it awful for mk2 farming unlike the other revans. At least it won't kill you outta nowhere like cosmos.

As a relatively new player I found avatar to be really refreshing before for most bosses I couldn't kill I just hosted them did as much damage to reach the blue chest honour boundary and call for backup once my team was dead but now I can feel I could clear it solo cause I learnt the mechanics and built a team around them

Damn it has been some time since the last time I studied a raid

The first time I fought phronesis I brought a team of Manadiver, Y. Vampy, H. Lich, and G. Ewiyar and tried to follow the rules. Unfortunately, Vampy and Lich autocast skill at end of turn and Ewiyar autocasts skill on Ougi which turned the fight from use no more than 3 skills to use no more than 1 skill and don't use any if the cats has Ougi

Wait people actually pay attention to the Raids and don’t just request backup and full auto them? I kid, but that’s how I tend to do my dailies, with the exception of Diaspora which is so hard that I’ve actually been trying different strategies to beat it, since full autoing that Revans Raid just doesn’t work. Whoever decided to make Revans weapons require other elements materials for the rebuilding process can suck it, still I should be thankful they did make the requirements easier than they originally made them.
While I’m more of a fan of your story coverage it’s cool to hear about these Raid mechanics, very interesting about Huanglong and Qilin’s Raids especially, I guess them not requiring a fully built Grid would be pretty useful to players who need the drops for progression purposes.

hosting Diaspora is playing kengo and reaching y100, then open the room for 5 hurting berserkers to show up instantly (make sure to note "y100" for them to know you are not trolling)

@@DuckyTalksGranblue Man I wish I had a good Earth team of CA focused characters, the recommended team builds online seem to really require some Seasonal characters to make the strategy work.
I also wish I didn’t have to waste resources on building an Earth Kaneshige since I’ve learnt pretty recently that you kinda just have to use one in order to use the class optimally, I tend to just play Berserker cause it’s the canon class line and Beast Fang spam is just so strong on a character like the MC. At the moment I’m still stubbornly trying a Berserker CA team cause GW is coming up and I don’t fancy grinding materials for a Kaneshige right now.

friendly reminder today's version of avatar was nerfed from the initial version. it used to be 3 out of 4 non-trigger special attacks deal plain damage.

and that shit fucking sucked im glad they changed it!
