In the world of Granblue Fantasy, player strategy and consciousness of one’s abilities can either lead to glorious victories or epic fails. Today we pull back the curtain on a recent lively exchange sparked by user Waiting404Godot concerning the use of Health Sigils in combat.
Summary
- Waiting404Godot argues for the importance of Health Sigils in ensuring survivability during battles, particularly multiplayer missions.
- Alternative strategies include focusing on defensive actions like dodging and blocking, as suggested by various users.
- There’s a clear split in the player base, with some favoring the ‘glass cannon’ approach and others advocating for a more balanced tactic.
Differing Strategies
In response to Waiting404Godot’s frustrations at seeing players ‘drop like flies’, user Sensitive-Royal2918 suggests focusing on Aegis instead of health, boasting about his Katalina’s formidable 80k health. Nrinzu recommends an HP strategy that opts to keep player health below 45k, an important milestone that finds agreement from Taihaku250 who cites the damage cap increase unlocked by Proto Bahamut weapons when players’ health is below this threshold. If this strategy seems a bit ‘manaical’ to you, you’re not alone in thinking so!
A Case for Defense
So, if beefing up your health isn’t the answer, what is? Greel89 and kingof7s stress the benefits of defensive maneuvers, pointing out that the likes of the ‘Guts/Potion Hoarder/Autorevive’ combo and use of ‘Improved Guard + Improved Dodge’ are significantly more strategy-savvy. As Greel89 candidly states in the face of the more daredevil players: ‘…anything helps if you’re dying a lot.’
The ‘Glass Cannon’ Philosophy
What then of those players who go in all guns blazing, only to find themselves rapidly KO’d? InternationalHoney85’s more gung-ho approach highlights the competitive daredevilry amongst players: ‘Those sigils are a waste for the superior glass cannon lol’. It’s a sentiment echoed by KRYPT1X_1963, who suggests simply ‘spamming buttons’ to speed up recovery post-hit as a feasible tactic over prioritizing health sigils. Seems like these guys are living by the ‘dodge or die’ motto!
However you strategize your gameplay in Granblue Fantasy, remember – each player’s journey is unique, and what works for some may not suit others.
