BEST Granblue Fantasy Relink Characters

Grand blue fantasy relink is incredibly popular right now I think much of this popularity will carry over into the full game but this spike is largely due to the demo it was trending on Twitter the subreddit for the game doubled in size the day after the demo released and this speaks to the power of a great demo most of the discussion has been around the characters you know which ones they like best how fast they can rack up deep PS how some of the characters look and so on and I love discourse over character rosters it's a lot of what we do on this channel if you've never been here before so naturally I ran a poll actually two polls okay actually one poll but it had two questions but we'll save the second question for another video I asked which character do you think is the best character in the game based on the demo I was kind of shocked at the results at Le at least some of them we'll run a second poll after the game releases but for now I want to list out the character ranking from worst to best and briefly cover why each of the characters landed where they did I Solace this is Solace and Dread we produce analytical content reaction videos and they're usually focused on squarex Nintendo and Capcom Publications a quick note the characters could be rebalanced before the full release of the game so this only speaks to the demo performance and is not meant to be an evergreen guy died this was just a fun experiment to gather people's thoughts we surveyed somewhere around 135 people so that's more than we asked for ranked dead last Lancelot with a poultry like 3% I agree that he's not the best but I didn't expect him to have so few votes Lancelot is a fast striking melee fighter that works by keeping constant offense and building up ice on his blades then unleashing more powerful attacks and abilities I'll say this he is my least favorite character and I didn't particularly like the way he plays but I definitely don't think he's the worst God bless those people that try to man him because uh I I pray for your hands you got to mash you got to just keep mashing buttons it's not not my favorite way to play a game the character I actually thought was the worst uh and would rank the lowest was Gand goza who was ranked 10th uh Gand goza works by keeping up constant damage to build up and deliver devastating attacks he also builds his gauge faster based on the timing of the attacks rather than mashing I liked him a lot probably because he's in a lot of ways that direct opposite of Lan a lot um and that kind of play style definitely appealed to me more and while I did like him a lot I definitely think he's not an ideal candidate for like top DPS since you can't always keep DPS going and you have to build back up really though I I did like him and his design I always liked those big beefy slow powerhouses and games if anything for the memes alone right with the exception of maybe Hulk in The Avengers game that came out on PS4 mechanics that require constant damage to keep going is never really effective in action RPGs at least in my experience anyway I mean feel free to prove me wrong there and just above Gand goza was gr this didn't surprise me at all he or she since you can change their gender in the full game is the main character and is very much a jack of all trades he's got attacks heals Buffs but he's very very balanced you know how it goes a jack of all trades but a master of none I do enjoy how comfortable he feels and it's likely that I'll play him for a large portion of the the story even when I don't need to as much as I like him the community considering him so low on the totem pole feels right eighth on the list was Sig freed being the long-haired edgy boy that you need in every single Anime styled game he works similarly to Gand goo with heavy timed attacks that build up his damage and then he unleashes towards the end working in abilities as he goes and I will admit I was not impressed by his play style either which sucks cuz like I really wanted to like him when I saw him you know I I'm a fan of that design and that Trope and and anime games and Anime period but I couldn't get on board when I played him I expect him to be near the bottom of any list so no shock here ranking seventh Catalina she is similar in feel to gr and that she's a jack of all trades you know she's got some great heals some Buffs and her freeze debuff is amazing to to help other characters continue racking up damage I also like her ability to give the group invincibility so they can tank through hard-hitting attacks or blood lust or whatever she's a utility character at best and because of this I understand why a lot of people said that she's the best character in the game an argument can always be made for utility characters being the best but usually they have to be outstanding in one Stat or the other I don't think that she's a top character though and this placement feels safe and ranked number six rackam now rackam was probably my second favorite character in this game before we get the full roster he too works by constantly putting up damage but it's different he gets his heat gauge up on his weapon and then relieves it with harder hitting attacks that charge up faster based on the amount of heat and it's a continuous cycle and he might be a bit squishy but you know he gets to fight from a safer distance since he uses a gun I I really really really liked rackam and you can kind of just turn your your brain off and still perform just trying to get the heat up on your on your gauge I did notice that he suffers a bit on DPS compared to some of the others just a bit uh and this will inherently limit him from being the best character in the game since he doesn't really have any utility but I do think that he's great ranked fifth IO I think the Howe say it and by the way if I pronounce anybody's name wrong I don't look I don't know the I'm new to this okay um but I think you pronounce her IO I actually will enjoy playing her as well she's very much the safe distance support and spellcaster of the group I also love that she's like a little Cannon you know she charges up big hard-hitting spells and to me that's incredibly fun I can see myself making use of her as my main support role character when I do online play as opposed to like Gran or Catalina but we'll see um I am am kind of shocked that she was so well-liked and rated this highly uh that people really thought that she was the best character in the game but there are a lot of people that like playing casters and she definitely scratches the itch also the whole charging up concentrated attacks things feels way better to play than constantly mashing buttons like Lancelot again God bless anybody that plans to M that guy ranked fourth Naya the baddy the baddy with horns um she's great for the invested player she's a bit more technical with her stance switching and building up butterflies and dealing them out in big damage she's a bit trickier to use than some of the unab Bunga characters um but I would probably believe anyone that sat me down and then read out their lengthy thesis on why she's actually the best character in the game and everyone else is an idiot I personally don't think she's for me um as the particle effects from all the Spells and stuff made it hard to see when I actually had a butterfly or how many I had um also I'm a terrible gamer and I feel like capitalizing on her best rotation is probably out of scope for the amount of time that I'm willing to commit that is the most honest thing that I could possibly say but yeah you can feel the potential with her and rank number three Yoda again I don't know if that's how you pronounce his name you know what we're going to call him Yoda just because I'm insecure about how to pronounce his name and he's about the same height he is definitely a deserving Contender for the top slot and there's really not much question to it as one person put in their survey if he's in the group he tends to get MVP at the end of the match although this person I was playing with happened to get MVP every single time so this doesn't count Yoda also seems to be able to push speeduns pretty easily because of the pure damage he pumps out and yeah he might lack utility compared to some of the other characters but his damage is undeniable he works in an interesting way pumping out combos that incorporate a timed finisher that gets shorter with every pass that you do increasing your DPS and then he gets a buff on his attacks as he continues and it's just this it's just it starts speeding up and it goes nuts and then there's big wind blades come out as he's attacking it's awesome um and it's easy to see the appeal of this character too like naria he can easily be argued as the best character in the game just by how much he provides to the meter ranked second my waifu of this game so far and my favorite to play Zeta she's so fun and she's got the Bobs on display so that's a win she's not only fun to play but pumps out High DPS zeta's kit has multiple Avenues to stay out of Harm's Way while doing damage two ways to counter good crowd control a team attack buff a special debuff that's specific to her by the way I stole this line directly from the survey but I agreed with the take and come on man look at this attack Loop that's just fun man uh she keeps it interesting without having to think too much She's mine I claim her I'm glad everyone agreed to these terms Zeta belongs to Solace some of you out there might not agree but you're wrong you know who you are in all seriousness I love her but I don't know that I would personally call her the best overall but she's got the fun Factor on Lock and ranked first with over 30% of the vote with charlotta uh there was a lot of comments about her charlot's combos are easy and still a lot of fun she has everything in her kit Buffs debuffs counters on her power attack and you know keep you name it I understand the love because she was a blast to play with I really don't think there's much doubt about her being a top tier character I do wonder about the next seven that come out on release I don't know if anyone will Dethrone her I'll also say that while I enjoyed the hell out of her kit and knew instantly that she was top tier she's not as fun as Zeta to play by a dam site just so you know we are going to cover a second poll after the game's been out for a little bit so that way we can see if the results line up again um I'm very interested to see how it shakes out um and then we're going to do it after the game's been out for a really long time and see if people's opinions change once they start to finish playing the game I think it's fun to get a tangible way to cover how people feel as the game ages so subscribe if you want tangible numbers for future conversations and if you enjoyed this video and want more Grand blue content please consider giving it a like um it really helps us out and it helps us gauge on what the audience seems to want we'll be covering this game much more very soon that's it from me thanks for watching we'll see you soon and long live the turtle Kingdom
