Adding more to the discussion. I pulled this from a post here:

@Rizelea She is ok. Fire and Dark attack passive buff as leader but the first event SSR summon has the exact same passive. Better just roll something else.

Rolling SR Kamihime is only good if you can get Belphegor or Beelzebub and MAYBE Brynhilde if you need a SR healer and isn't going to whale for Sol.

The ONLY SSR summon worth keeping is Fafnir/Behemoth, everything else should just reroll. Don't even keep SR summon, its total waste.



Below is my summary of what will be happening within 9 months of the game, for your future reference and planning:

Water (Best element, can heal/debuff/buff/spike damage, requires later KH that you probably won't have for half a year) >>>>>> Fire (Glass cannon element, lacks survivability but a lot of SSR event weapons to support. Amaterasu will be a godsent if you have her.) = Dark (Only if you have beelze, else goes behind Thunder) > Thunder (High spike skill damage, can paralyze boss, also offer some debuff. Not much healing exist) > Wind (Multihit specialist, burst gauge filler, your only debuffer is literally Oberon which is a SR. Gaia boost your team survive rate by LOTS) > Light (Literally good for nothing, lacks debuff, lacks damage, lacks event SSR. KH skills are all over the place. Sol is god tier KH but you better off splash her into other element team. The dev are trying to buff this element right now it seems.)


SSR Gacha Summon that will make you happy that you get them. Link to JP wiki
Fafnir (The best summon in the game up to date imo, no other summon has atk/def up large buff that lasts 2 turns, every other summon's buff effect only last 1 turn. Also has hybrid 40% fire/water passive which are the 2 better elements.)
Behemoth/Ouroboros/Thunderbird/Ifrit/Hekatoncheir

There is a SR summon, in jp called Anzu, which ups drop chance of chest and have increased effect when max limit break. She is the only one with that ability barring Slepnir which is a SSR Gacha summon.


Event Summon that I highly recommended to max (Or get as high as possible as event SSR weapon takes priority):
Garuda
Typhon
Sandalphon
Jörmungandr
Crom Cruach
Yggdrasil
Yatagarasu
Sphinx
Dullahan


SSR KH that is pretty much a must have: Link to JP wiki
Sol
Amaterasu
Cthulu


Some others SSR KH that are nice to have:
Gaia
Dark Amon
Mikael
Shiva
Poseidon
Thor
Tyr
Titania
Arphodite
Hades
Ryuou
Goddess Nike
Metatron
Svarog


Good to have SR KH:
Beelzebub
Belphegor
Diana
Oberon
Brynhilde
Ramiel
Bastet


You ALWAYS want to max SSR event weapon or get it as high as possible. Those are extremely important as they are your main source of damage. A maxed event SSR weapon stat has about the same HP but quite a bit more attack than a maxed gacha SR weapon. Focus on weapon with attack up ability.

Pick your element before the game launch and stick to it until you have it decently developed (All KH Limit Break 3* at least). Switching element mid way is a giant pain in the ass and takes really long time. Also will cause you to be really weak for events and unable to get MVP for more drops.

Plan your 3rd tier heroine ahead. EP are super difficult to get and each GOOD 3rd tier Heroine takes 1200EP to unlock. Which means roughly around lv40 account level by the time you get your first one, even with active playing and eventing you may get your first one around lv 35 or so.

Recommend 3rd tier heroine: (Good to bad)
Andromeda (Best defensive heroine, super short heal CD and can resurrect dead KH, slot EX ablity with Black Propaganda for ultimate boss control). Rank Interchangable with Siegfried depending on your play style.
Siegfried (MVP stealer, mad damage when boss is stunned) Rank Interchangable with Andromeda depending on your play style.
D' Art (Good debuff, can increase chest drop chance, good for farming event)
Mordred (Debuff spammer, kinda loses her functionality late game by other KH and summon)
Arthur (All about attack buff and burst, nothing else)
Jeanne (Defensive hero, has atk debuff and guard party, thats about it)
Solomon is trash

Join a really active Union, don't be stupid and stick with inactives or low population ones. When Union event comes around, you will want to stab your ownself to death for being in a shitty Union.


These are my personal recommendation from playing 9 months of this game.

In essence, this game will be a total grind like Granblue is. Right now, my main focus has been to focus on raising my Dark setup, and getting the advanced classes that will help to further that goal. Unfortunately, my major issue with GBF is that the real grind is just around the corner with weapon grids. Unless that improves (and sounds like KH is going to be the same), my event results aren't going to be nearly as good, and that means less rankings, less drops, less rewards, and ultimately slow-as-hell progress.

I probably will try KH, but not going to stick around, considering how much time investment I already put into GBF, and really not wanting to pursue further at this point (only about 4 months into the game), and probably just moving back to FFXIV as far as an MMO game is concerned.
