Summary
Granblue Fantasyis a name most known for being a fresh anime fighter that has recently been re-released with a massive title update. However, theGranblue Fantasyfranchise has expanded into the JRPG genre withGranblue Fantasy: Relink,which brings a breath of freshair into the early gaming year. Players take on an exciting story with excellent combat and are able to build a team of four with an expansive roster of available characters, allowing for a wide variety of play styles.
In typical RPG fashion, playerscan level up their favorite charactersand, once they’ve completed the game’s campaign, may dive into the extensive endgame content that makes itself available in stages from early- to late-game. As players become more powerful, they will have to precisely craft and gear their characters to take on stronger enemies. One way of going about this is by equippingSigils, which boost specific traits of characters, making them more effective. There are dozens of Sigils inGranblue Fantasy: Relink; here are some of the best starting Sigils to look out for in theearly-game.
8Exploiter Sigils
Great For Ranged Characters
Doing more damage is a must inGranblue Fantasy: Relink, and there are many ways of going about this, especially with the variety of characters available.The Exploiter Sigilsimprove the damage dealt to enemy weak points, such as when attacking enemies from behind.
Flanking an enemy can be great for slow-attacking characters with charge moves or ranged characters who never want to be the center of attention and can continuously pelt enemies' squishy areas from afar.
7Health Sigils
Increased Survivability Is Always Needed
The damage numbers can get very out of hand very quickly inGranblue Fantasy: Relinkon both sides of the controller, so survivability is something all players should think about depending on the role they playwhen starting out.
Health Sigilsare a cut-and-dry way to increase base health and survivability while tackling challenging content. Theseh Sigils drop reasonably often and don’t take too much grinding to acquire.
6Linked Together Sigils
Takes Advantage Of The Game’s Mechanics
Linked Together Sigilsare an excellent tack-on to most characters inGranblue Fantasy: Relink,but especially for combo-heavy characters like Lancelot and Zeta.
Linked Together provides a prominent boost to the amount of Link level gained while attacking enemies, but also improves Skybound Art damage, Chain Burst damage, as well as attacks triggered during a link. Link Attacks can be incredibly powerful, turning a tanky enemy into a pin cushion.
5Attack Power Sigils
More Damage Is Always A Good Thing
The surest way to increase a character’s raw attack power is by equippingAttack Power Sigils, which provide a solid boost to overall attack stats and character power, which is essential in later stages of the game.
Upgrading and stacking Attack Power Sigils is a great way to improve overall damage to targets, whether it be basic attacks or skills, and will be necessary when players start to take on the game’s tougher enemies.
4Critical Hit Rate Sigils
Great For Fast Attackers
There are characters who are well-suited for different types of Sigils and get more of a benefit than others when outfitted correctly. Some characters excel at fast attacks, making them well suited forCritical Hit Rate Sigils, which boost the percentage chance of a character to hit a critical strike.
These Sigils show up reasonably early in the game and are a great tack-on with a stacking bonus. Multiple critical strikes can shred a boss’s health bar and make the content that much easier.
3Stun Power Sigils
Makes For Powerful Anti-Boss Builds
Every enemy inGranblue Fantasy: Relinkhas a stun gauge that, when filled, will hinder the target, placing them in a vulnerable state. Some stun gages are more challenging to fill than others due to gameplay mechanics.
However,Stun Power Sigilsmake a world of difference when equipped, and can have a big impact on challenging content. Stacking Stun Power Sigils will vastly increase how fast a stun gauge can fill, and is a perfect support Sigil fora multiplayer or single player playthrough.
2Low Profile Sigils
Protects Low Health Units
Granblue Fantasy: Relinkhas a wide variety of play styles, from up close and personal to complete back-line support. Thanks to the Sigil system, all of these play styles are viable in a number of situations.
For players who prefer to attack from a distance with spellcasters or overall ranged characters, theLow Profile Sigilsare a must-have. Low Profile makes it less likely for an equipped character to be attacked, which is a great bonus for a squishy back-line to have.
1Fast Learner Sigils
Vastly Increases Progression Rate
The grind inGranblue Fantasy: Relinkis a steep inclinelike in most JRPGs. It is a very straight and narrow goal. Players must raise their characters' level to the cap to take on the final level of challenging content the game has to offer.
One of the fastest ways to do this is by farming missions on repeat for experience points with the same characters for max effect. TheFast Learner Sigilsmake this process even faster by increasing the amount of experience an equipped character can receive.
