The ultimate guide is very outdated since the op no longer plays Granblue anymore. The start dash will not disappear since I made my account early 2015 and purchased my star dash around October.

I still can't figure out how to find this 'start dash'. I started an account about a month ago but just recently started actually playing and cant find it anywhere.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Cross posting:

Hit "My Page" the banner should show up at the top, if you missed it the first time it pops up every month after that but only for 48 hours (which is why I missed it last month) and only if you havent bought a Star or Legend Gacha either. Banner looks like:

Read the original to see a bit more.
So it should look like this:

I have that banner. I would need mobacoins though. Already struggling wading through Japanese menus let alone introducing real money to it.

Come on English version!

Thanks. I figured it was because it hadn't come back but the last few posts seemed to insinuate that it now stayed up for good, I guess not.

Yea, anyone know of a guide to walk us through purchasing these? Are we able to use google play credit on Android or does it use something else?

Yeah.

I kind of feel pressured to purchase it now before my seven days are up, since we'll likely be receiving a Surprise Ticket for the second anniversary and if I don't purchase my Start Dash ticket prior, it'll effectively be lost (since I read it disappears after you purchase a different kind of ticket).

I'm leaning towards Katarina, since she's a Legend-Fest exclusive that I can use my ticket on (since I created my account during a Legend Fest) and I love her VA (Celty, <3). I don't have any SSR right now (only the Bahamut SSR summon that I re-rolled), and she seems like a really nice starter character. I know it'd probably be more wise to start that dark-type team, to get the benefit of Bahamut, but damn it I want Katarina!

As for purchasing the Mobacoins, I'll probably just purchase a code from Play-Asia and add it to my account through Chrome/Developer Emulator:

I just took a stab at it just using the Android app I normally use to play on the phone. It seems to work. I clicked on the 3000 coin buying option and it popped up a google play dialog box to pay for it.

However, that's $25. Forget that. Man. So expensive for a single SSR.

it's a guaranteed SSR (of your choice) and you get an additional 10 pull which you can use at a later time

considering a regular 10 pull costs 3000 coins on its own, it's a good deal if you are willing to spend

 

[tiltnkirby]

It will not. I ticketed something and still had my start dash the next month.

 

[chrono01]

Oh, nice!

So I can let my Start Dash ticket run through its seven days, purchase a Surprise Ticket (if we get one for the anniversary), use it, and then have the Start Dash Ticket return in a month's time? That's great! Now I don't feel pressured to purchase both tickets at once. I can grab a Surprise Ticket, if it becomes available, and then Start Dash later on.

I ticketed Vampy then waited till my start dash came back, picked up Anira with it, mostly because I wanted to do another 10-roll during a legfest.

This is very nice indeed.

Thanks, I'll definitely plan on this then! How is Vampy, BTW? I was trying to decide between her or Vira as my first dark-type. If we do get an anniversary ticket, I might purchase it and choose one of the two.

 

[KenjiGlove]

Vampy is a core dark unit. She has a slow, charm, gives all your party members 20% ougi gauge and does a ton of damage when she ougies a charmed enemy.

She fits in every dark team.

Vira is good as well (and a cool character in general). I'm not really sure if she's top tier as she fullfils the same role as another dark unit, Narumeia.

I've heard some mixed messages about Vira Vs. Narumeia, some people prefer Vira because she deals damage faster, while other like Narumeia better because she's the damage queen.

Naru is probably a better attacker, one guy on /gbfg/ told me Vira is preffered over her in high level content though.

An end game Dark team will consist of:

1. Vampy
2. Naru/Vira
3. Lady Grey

Vampy is great as listed above but she is also an unknown race, so she'll receive Naru's passive as well as any Behe weapons in your pool. Her weapon is also good for dark fencer.


Naru is better for solo stuff or if you're not in an MVP race since the stance change takes a lot of time away from attacking.

Thanks you two! I'll make her my first targeted dark-unit, then.

Vampy is top tier Dark but Narumea is the real dark &#21313;&#22825;. So...yeah

 

[Yaari]

Azusa, how long did you have to run Tiamat for all those SSR guns?

 

[Ryoukai]

Azusa, how long did you have to run Tiamat for all those SSR guns?

Not Azu, but I'm five weapons away from a complete mlb magna wind set. Only took four months upon playing, but I was lucky to be blessed with Percival and Clarice. As long as you get a decent fire team and able to solo Tiamat for mvp, it shouldn't take too long.

Oh wow. Yeah, MVP is going to be a problem. I can get there eventually I guess. Not for now though, no fire team anytime soon.

Trying to see if I can buy Mobacoins through Andyroid/Google Store, no luck. too bad. Might be difficult.

You need credit card & you need to use mobile phone for buying mobacoins.

1. Click gacha button
2. Scroll downwards and click 90 mobacoin once per day pull option. It directs you to buying mobacoins (if you dont have any).
3. Scroll to bottom and click upper one of those 2 choices (I have some red text above click box).
4. Click amount you want to buy (3090)
5. Google payment pop up comes
6. Payment succeed
7. Now click lower right corner GBF icon logo to get back to game
8. Click my page, now you have mobacoins (the amount you bought).

I used 90 mobacoins for the daily gacha (got r weapon as expected). Not sure where is the best place outside of gacha to see how many mobacoins you have left tho.

 

[Azusa]

Azusa, how long did you have to run Tiamat for all those SSR guns?

Tiamat droped only one SSR gun and 2 SSR gloves. I had to buy other guns in shop. I think I farm tiamat only for one month.

I never MVP tiamat so that is the problem. At least I can host one tiamat every day and get one red chest for hosting.

 

[Rixa]

Those one hour open halo dungeons do drop tons of stuff. Had time to do one run on hardest difficulty, yesterday I did 4 runs and "only" got around 10-12 items per run, today...

Edit: It seems I was in "star" marked Halo.

Angel Halo dungeons (&#12456;&#12531;&#12472;&#12455;&#12523;&#12539;&#12504;&#12452;&#12525;&#12540 in extra drop the lowest tier gems, highest tier genes, low and mid tier crystals, rusty weapons, and weapon fodder. These appear 3 times a day for only 1 hour at a time. The time marked with a star gives the best loot drops so do these. Time schedules can be found on twitter.com/granbluefantasy. Your group can be found on your profile page on the top right.

Ah. Well, I get better get started then. Difficult to take the attention away from those events though. Hopefully 1/2 BP again soon, I can farm a little more quickly then. How can you kill one a day though, don't you need those Anima? You get them from Casino or?

Ah right. I don't have an Android phone, so its probably going to be MobaCard then. Hopefully they didn't overprice them too much compared to buying directly. Bleh.

 

[garath]

So I've maxed all the SR and SSR weapons I have currently. I need to limit break them but I must be doing something wrong. I click on the second tab then on a max level weapon and this is the screen I see. What do I do to limit break it?

 

[KenjiGlove]

You need a copy of the same weapon (kinda like CC) to Limit break.

 

[garath]

Oooooh. I see. Well that will be a challenge.

So with all my current characters max level and the current weapons I have max level, progression is now gated on improving the weapon pool, getting new/better jobs and limit breaking characters?

Didn't expect to hit the grind so quickly lol.

In a nutshell, yeah I guess. It's a bit more complex than that, the weapon system is pretty deep in particular.

You can also join a *cough*guild*cough* and the Discord to make the grind more fun.

YouAreAlreadyDead

Seriously though, grinding is the name of the game in all mobage, the grind in this is interesting IMO, it compares well to the competition. That glorious feel of progression...

Didn't want to join the guild if I'm just going to hold it back. I'm still really low/new. Rank 22 or something. Don't know how much I can participate in the GW or anything.

A lot of people in the guild are still low and new.

I still need to shill enough to fill 20 more slots at the moment, you won't hold anything back or something, that's not really how guilds in this game work (yet).

Every hand is appreciated and chatting in the Discord is a lot of fun!

Just give me your ID

[Rixa]

Also, in the future its best that you (or anyone else) wont max level R weapons or summons. R weapons & summons are food for SR & SSR.

 

[garath]

Anyone know what this screen is? Unlocking the next weapon picture seems to be gated by doing something on this screen. Clicking on the blue button under the airship seems to want me to put a number in. Am I feeding it or something? Lol

Also, in the future its best that you (or anyone else) wont max level R weapons or summons. R weapons & summons are food for SR & SSR.

Good call. For now I'm just feeding them my white items since I have nothing else to do with them and R weapons still make up a majority of my weapon pool

 

[Yaari]

Thats a guild screen, but not ours ;.

Does google payment allow you to purchase mobacoin regardless of region?

Edit: wait. I think I did it.

 

[Rixa]

What button leaves the guild? I can't seem to figure it out lol.

Your abc leaving guild, provided by Google translation & my awesome snipping tool usage:

1. On "My Page" Scroll down to status box where the left button one is to your guild whatever name it is:

2. In guild main screen scroll to bottom and click "Tuan managed to ride empty"

3. Click "Resigning" button

4. Click "Ok"

^^ After step 4 Iam not sure if it asks something (Are you sure etc) or you leave guild.

5. Mailbox (I have 5 mails there).

Your guild status in main page (same place as step 1) should be changed. You get guild invitations to your email mailbox. If you get invitations from some other guild than GAFCypher you need to deny them manually. Otherwise our guild invite doesnt come thru.

 

[garath]

Awesome thanks rixa. Looks like I did it right. Now 24 hours until I can join another orchestra.

I see the guild invite in my mail. Hooray. I'll wait the 24 hours before trying to accept it. And I'm not going to try on my phone. Will do it on the chrome app with Google translate at home. At this rate I'd find a way to disband the guild instead of accepting.

Wait...We can get google translate working with the game if we play it through the browser?

I've tried it before through the browser and nothing was translated?

Having things even 'half-ass' translated would make this SO much easier haha...

Just follow this from step 2 I guess, the trick is to use the Developer mode function. (you don't have to go into Incognito mode).

Sent you an invite btw.

Use the chrome app instead of just the browser. I.e. put it in developer mode (ctrl-shift-i) and open the link from there. From there, right click google translate. And it doesn't translate everything. Images won't get translated (like some of the buttons and splash screens) but a lot of the text will. I generally play on my phone so I don't even get that.

Is my ID if anyone wants to add me


Could also use some advice

This is my current party setup and summons. How's my order and placement? Fine? Any suggestions?

Next, what should I be doing with my weapons (other than combining)? I'm using what appears to be a knife/sword? When I click it and want to switch weapons, it only gives me a certain selection. How do I equip or get the option to equip other weapons? Like some of these rarer weapons I have? Am I correct in assuming I have to switch my class? In regards to class, when should I be switching?
