If it helps, your profile text is AMAZING.
I'm a beginner like pretty much everybody else, I didn't play Granblue or anything. But I have been playing 2 accounts at once (3 as soon as I can reroll an Anzu because reasons) for the past 3 days, and I read pretty much everything on the forum. From what I can tell, the main things to focus on at the moment are:
- (A) Leveling and Limit Breaking your himes as much as possible
- (B) Getting a "Main" Eidolon that ups whatever the majority element on your team is and leveling up the rest of them
- (C) Hoarding and leveling weapons from the Raid in your team's element
- (D) Pick your Legendary Soul and get them unlocked (needs Rank levels)
Also, Stage 7-4 is a solid grindathon in a pinch. If you have any specific questions about any of that feel free to ask, I'm just mashing reroll and waiting for my AP to refill.
Edit: Remembered the fourth one.
