Character Tier List/Characters

Editing this page

Please show restraint when editing the ratings. Gamewith has an excellent system so let's try to not deviate from it.
If you wish to highlight an ability or use for a character please add it to the character remarks.

Tips on making bullet points

• Make generalized statements.
• Be concise.
• Justify the score. It's less about how to play the character and more about why the character has a rating.
• Character comparisons should be limited to within its own element, not with characters of differing elements.
• Don't change the rating value. Ratings are taken from グランブルーファンタジー.gamewith.jp and should be discussed if any values should be changed.
• Use other entries as examples on what to cover.
• Each character has their own page at グランブルーファンタジー.gamewith.jp that you can take bullet points from, but you don't have to strictly follow it.
• Avoid making bullet points for characters that you don't have experience using.

Fire SSR Characters

Agielba	03 7.5

Aliza	03 8.5

Anila	03 8.5

Anthuria	03 9.0

Aoidos	03 8.5

Clarisse	03 9.0	Role: Support/Debuffer Extremely useful support kit for soloing which includes DEF DownDEF is lowered and dispel. Not as useful in raid battles; provides little else if her debuffs are already covered by other parties. Support skill helps your party's debuffs land which can be crucial in stabilizing boss fights. Her Mode bar cut is great where it works, but it becomes ineffective against higher-level bosses.

Ghandagoza	03 8.5

Heles	03 8.5

Io (Summer)	03 8.0

Magisa	03 9.0

Metera (Fire)	03 9.0

Percival	03 9.5	Role: Attacker/Debuffer One of the only characters that can inflict the PetrifiedStops enemy's charge diamonds from filling. debuff which makes bosses easier. Easy to play; high damage output is obtainable even for beginners. Narrow utility, but his damage output is reason enough to use him regardless.

Percival (Summer)	03 8.5

Societte (Fire)	03 9.0

Tien	03 9.5	Role: Attacker/Debuffer Guaranteed 3 stacks of Bounty Hunter with her skill; can apply Bounty Hunter by herself. Excellent Break assassin. Great back line party member since her support skill increases item drop rate. Her 100% Bounty Hunter success rate only affects herself. Mediocre damage outside break.

Yuel	03 9.5	Role: Attacker/Buffer/Healer Due to her utility, Yuel fits into almost all Fire party compositions. Excellent damage output for a healer; increases overall party damage with buffs. Needs to be Lvl 100 to unlock her full potential.

Zahlhamelina	03 9.0	Role: Attacker/Buffer High risk, high reward character; she's fragile, but significantly increases party damage the lower her HP is. Excellent support character with both offensive and defensive party buffs. Flare is powerful and risky in raid battles, but you can learn when it's appropriate to use.

Zeta	03 8.0	Role: Attacker High damage output against enemies in Break mode. (a.k.a. Break assassin) Outside of Break mode, her damage is mediocre. Overall kit is quite lacking.

Water Characters

Water SSR Characters

Altair	03 9.5	Role: Buffer/Debuffer Greatly increases Water team damage output with his buffs, debuffs, and charge bar generation. His debuff is very inaccurate until Lvl 90. His Lvl 95 support skill helps other members of the team in landing their debuffs. Fits in almost any Water team composition.

Anre	03 7.5

Charlotta	03 8.5	Role: Attacker/Defender/Debuffer Solid defensive character; party Damage Cut is potent with a fairly short cooldown. Can provide DEF DownDEF is lowered debuffing, but with low accuracy. Dealing damage not her strong point; competes for a party spot against other more effective Water attackers. A good early-game character for Water teams.

Chat Noir	03 8.0

Feower	03 8.5	Role: Buffer/Debuffer/Attacker The only water SSR whose weapon preference is daggers. Has the unique ability to extend all allies' buffs by 1 turn (Excludes 1-turn buffs). A strong, but unreliable debuff skill, due to being random. Damage on his skills easily hits the damage cap. Utility is hampered due to average debuff success rate.

Izmir	03 9.0	Role: Attacker MASSIVE Charge Attack damage with each Icy BladeC.A. DMG and C.A. DMG cap are boosted based on number of Icy Blades (Max: 5 / Can't be removed) stack she gains. Extremely high cap at around 2.5~(3.5~ vs Fire) million at full stacks. Squishy; requires defenders due to her low defense, but her attack power outweighs this drawback. Stacking Icy Blades requires an entirely different play-style and time consuming. Charge Attack damage is still very good at 3 stacks.

Lancelot	03 9.0	Role: Attacker/Debuffer Top class Water attacker; high Double Attack rate, and Lvl 95 support skill also increases all allies Double Attack rate. His debuffs stacks with Dark Fencer's Miserable Mist and is fairly accurate. Very consistent and reliable attacker with no other drawbacks.

Lilele	03 9.0

Lily	03 8.5

Narmaya (Summer)	03 8.5	Role: Attacker Powerful Break assassin with strong self-buffs, but low defense. Excellent damage even outside of Break mode. Slow build up; requires turns to improve her skill effectiveness and power. Difficult for beginners if they don't have other characters to protect/support Narmaya. Rating rises to 9.5 if she is used with a fully-built Varuna weapon grid.

Romeo	03 9.0	Role: Attacker/Defender Massive 1-turn burst damage potential and overall attack power. Potent Water DEF DownDEF is lowered for water DMG . Playstyle requires micromanaging SpiritUses 1 Spirit per attack (Spirits recover every 5 turns) stacks. Poor stack management heavily penalizes Romeo's stats. His Fire DMG LoweredFire DMG is lowered Fire DEF Up. Not a Damage Cut. Reduces Fire damage taken on a multiplier separate from Damage Cuts. party buff is very strong, but requires consuming SpiritUses 1 Spirit per attack (Spirits recover every 5 turns) stacks. Difficult to play as a defensive character and is better suited as an offensive damage dealer.

Silva	03 8.5	Role: Attacker Pure attacker; is often the first Water SSR to hit the damage cap with her charge attack in combination with her C.A. DMG UpCharge attack DMG is boosted and Critical Hit Rate UP ability. Excellent as a sub member after a main party member has been KO'd with her 100% charge bar ability. Falls off late game; overly reliant on charge attacks and no multi-attack self-buffs gives way to other Water attackers.

Societte	03 8.0	Role: Debuffer/Healer Good early on with her Miserable Mist like ability while you're getting the Dark Fencer class. Low cooldown, high HP heal and has DelayReduce a foe's charge diamonds by 1 . Abilities overlap with the Dark Fencer class; She also doesn't have the debuff success rate of a Dark Fencer on her abilities.

Yngwie	03 9.0

Yodarha (SSR)	03 9.0	Role: Attacker Can deal 999,999 damage at Lvl 1 at the cost of being a glass cannon. The King of early game; trivializes early game grinding and story quests. Difficult to keep alive in prolonged battles. A solid character choice for new players buying a Beginner's Draw Set.

Kaoru Sakuraba	02 6.5

Katalina	02 7.5	Role: Support/Defender The Queen of story mode; her kit stays useful for a very long time. VeilDebuffs will be nullified (1 time) "Veil" is an unofficial name used by the wiki for this status effect. Its actual in-game name is "Immune." is always useful. Learn what it does. Heal eventually becomes too weak to let her be a main healer. Story characters obtained from the main story suffer from lower than average Charge Attack damage.

Katalina (Summer)	02 8.0	Role: Support/Defender Slightly higher stats and a better heal than her story version. Does not suffer from lower Charge Attack damage.

Hallessena	03 9.0

Mahira	03 9.5

Melleau	03 8.5

Nemone	03 8.5	Role: Attacker Massive single-turn burst damage if given time to set up; roughly 3 million damage by herself. Great early and mid game Earth attacker for new players that pick Earth as their first element. Low defense and long set up time leaves her lagging behind when MVP racing. Synergizes with Eugen (SSR) quite well.

Sara	03 9.5	Role: Tank/Defender Granblue Fantasy's pinnacle tank character; all other defensive characters are compared to Sara. Can work in any element's party composition due to her defensive abilities. Usefulness extends from early game all the way to end game. Damage output is not that great.

Galadar (SR)	02 7.5	Role: Tank/Defender He's a quintessential tank and he does it quite well. Completely outclassed by Sara, but Galadar is a suitable alternative if you don't have her.

Gayne	02 8.0

Jamil	02 8.0	Role: Attacker Surprisingly high damage output for an SR character. Synergizes with counterattack characters–which Earth has a decent number of–such as Eugen and Ayer.

Christina	03 8.0

Feena	03 8.5	Role: Attacker/Debuffer Can inflict DEF DownDEF is lowered which is hard to find among SSR Wind characters. Her DEF DownDEF is lowered only lasts 60 seconds. High damage output potential with her passive skill, Charge Attack, and multiattack rate. Good early-game and mid-game Wind attacker, but outclassed by other more powerful Wind characters later on.

Wind SR Characters

Andira (Event)	02 7.0	Role: Healer/Buffer Puts herself to SleepCan't attack and takes big DMG (Ends upon taking DMG) Takes 25% more damage, but still an excellent buffer. SleepCan't attack and takes big DMG (Ends upon taking DMG) Takes 25% more damage is clearable with skills which lessens one of her biggest disadvantages.

Lecia (Summer)	02 6.5

Meteon (Event)	02 7.5	Role: Buffer/Debuffer Provides a useful Wind party buff and a variety of debuffs although they have low modifiers. Long skill cooldowns hinder his effectiveness even with his Charge Attack's special effect. Overall a pretty good early-game support character for Wind.

Albert	03 9.0

Amira	03 9.5

Charlotta (Halloween)	03 7.5

De La Fille	03 7.0	Role: Support Her Charge Attack deals higher damage than average. Poor skill kit; lacks focus. Very bad in Omega raids. One of the worst SSR characters in the game.

Seruel	03 8.5

Sophia	03 9.0	Role: Healer Archetypal RPG healer; she heals, removes debuffs, and revives allies. Lacks any team damage contribution outside of her normal attacks and Charge Attack. She's more useful in the back line since she can revive front line allies after they're KO'd. Very useful character for HL content.

Tweyen	03 9.5

J.J.	02 6.0

Johann	02 7.0

Johann (Event)	02 6.5	Role: Healer/Buffer Very simple healer kit; one of the oldest designed event characters in the game. Difficult to sustain a whole party with his single-target heal in longer battles. Brand new players may appreciate a free Light healer, but his mediocrity makes him easily replaceable.

Seox	03 9.5

Vania	03 9.5	Role: Attacker/Support/Debuffer Great utility character; dispel, DelayReduce a foe's charge diamonds by 1 , and CharmedAttacks are slightly limited all in one. Her charge bar generation for the whole party is valuable for Dark element parties. Excellent in boss fights such as Luminiera Omega. Unknown race lets her benefit from any Bahamut Weapon.
