Not sure which characters to add to your party? Our Granblue Fantasy tier list is here to help. In this guide, we rank all of the characters from S tier to D tier so that you can use only the best. We break each tier down into the different elements, and keep it updated as often as there are new characters or balance changes. So we recommend that you bookmark this page and check back often, ensuring that you always have the best party.
Granblue Fantasy is a gacha RPG by Cygames. You collect characters – each of which is assigned to a specific element – and battle enemies, charging special attacks that deal a ton more damage. You can summon friends and enemies to assist you in battle, and time attacks carefully to pull off a ‘Chain Burst’. If you’re a fan of gacha RPGs, you’ll love this.
You can learn more about Granblue Fantasy on the official site. We cover plenty of the genre here. Make sure to check out our Eroica codes, Heroes of Crown codes, and Stickman Awakens codes.
