What Makes the Sky Blue is a story event which also commemorates the 3rd Birthday of Granblue Fantasy.

This page contains major event story spoilers. Read on at your own discretion.

The sky is falling.
Terror creeps into the heart,
and all one can do is pray.

After many millennia the very first primal
beasts, with their pasts stained in darkness,
take the stage once more.

And amid the pandemonium a girl in blue stands.
She must find her inner strength.
She must save the world.

For new players

Make sure you complete all the quests, since each chapter, quest, and raid boss awards Crystal ×50 on first-time completion.

Notable Rewards

  • Obtain as many Damascus Crystals from the event as possible. They are a good long-term investment for the future. There are 3 that you can earn from gaining Honor points. You need 10 Damascus Crystals to create 1 Damascus Ingot. Getting 3 million Honor is a bit of a stretch for new players so try and get what you reasonably can with your resources.
  • Dark Flame Scion has an excellent Aura for brand new players of any element. Although it gets easily replaced by most summons obtained from Rotating Showdowns and by most 0★ Premium Draw summons, the Aura is still specifically good for newer players without a wide repertoire of elemental ATK boost Auras. If you plan on using Lyria often, note that using this summon will reset the cooldown of one of her skills. Otherwise, if you already have better Auras for your elements, obtaining a 3★ copy is up to you.
  • Dominion Harp has an EXa.k.a "Unknown" or "UNK" big Light ATK boost weapon skill when upgraded to Lvl 100. Due to the low drop rate of Luminiera weapons, it's a great provisional weapon for new Light players, but only if you uncap it to 3★. Harps have naturally low ATK, but if you don't have a Light EXa.k.a "Unknown" or "UNK" weapon yet, try and get a 3★ copy if possible.

"Which Bahamut Weapon should I get?"

Official Bahamut Weapon census data from the Granblue Fantasy 3rd Anniversary Livestream

Newer players have an amazing opportunity to obtain one free Bahamut Nova Weapon. These weapons provide large stat bonuses to characters depending on their race and are a staple in many late-game weapon grids. The Main Character and "Unknown" race characters benefit from any Bahamut Weapon. The weapon you choose should be based on which character races you'll use more often.

In general, the Dagger is the most practical due to the overabundance of recruitable Human and Erune characters, but the Sword and Gun are viable first-picks as well, depending on your roster. The Spear and Axe are niche due to the lack of high-tiered Draph and Harvin. Otherwise, the other unmentioned weapons are not recommended as a first-pick Bahamut Weapon.

Also, you may still obtain more than one Bahamut Weapon by doing the traditional process, so don't feel too anxious about your choice. Note that Bahamut Weapons of the same type do not stack and only the largest bonus will apply (e.g. Dagger + Dagger does not stack). Bahamut Weapons of differing types do stack, up to +50% in bonuses (e.g. Dagger + Sword stacks).

For more detailed information, see the Bahamut Weapons page.

New Character

Lyria (Event)

  • Role: Support
  • Has massive Charge Attack damage that can be boosted even further with her Extended Mastery Perks.
    • Can use her Charge Attack on the first turn by using her own skills to boost her charge bar.
  •  Life LinkCan call 2 summons per turn if Lyria is a main ally.
    If the Main Character or Lyria reaches 0 HP: Both will be knocked out.     will allow 2 summons per turn if Lyria is a main ally.
  • Very flexible as her element is determined by the Main Character, and her buffs will allow her to contribute in nearly any situation.
  • Cannot normal attack, and will need to depend on her allies to gain charge bar consistently.

うぉううぉうぉうぉ、うぉううぉうぉー
うぉううぉうぉうぉいえぃいえぃいえーぃ！


うん、一番は出来上がりっ！
じゃあ二番は歌詞を変えて…


へいへいへいへいへーい…ひゃーあ！
き、聞いてたんですか！？
居るなら居るって言って下さいよー。


実は…最近…その…
みなさんと旅をする中で思ったんです。
もっと私にできること無いかな―って。


それでとりあえず応援歌を作りました！
ちょっとでもみなさんが元気になるように。
えーっと、他にも色々考えてて…


次回、グランブルーファンタジー
『どうして空は蒼いのか』


あ、あなたの必殺技も考えたんですよ！
いいですかぁ？せぇーのっ！
『悪い子にはお仕置きだぞっ！
ゴーゴー団長パーンチ！』


えへへ、もし気に入ったら使って下さいね。

Who-ah wo-wo-whoa, whoa whoa whoooa--
Who-ah wo-wo-whoa, yay yay yaaaaay!


Yes! First one's done!
Now, some different words for the second verse...


Hey-hey hey hey hey h-- hyaaaaaa!
D-did you hear that!?
If you're there, please say that you're there!


The thing is... lately... that is...
As we've been travelling with everyone, I've been thinking.
Isn't there anything more I could do?

And so, first thing, I made this fight song!
I hope it can cheer everyone up just a little bit!
Umm, and also, I thought maybe there were other things...

Next time, on Granblue Fantasy:
"What Makes the Sky Blue?"


T-there's also a special move for you I came up with!
May I? Here goes!
"PUNISHMENT FOR THE NAUGHTY!
GOGO CAPTAIN PUUUUUUNCH!"


Ehehe, if you like it, please use it!
