it's been a while since I've been as invested in the gameplay of a game as I am with grand blue relink it might be some of the most fun RPG combat I've played since Xenoblade 2 with a lot of customization and interesting play Styles between all the different characters and the multiplayer content is absolutely fantastic and as such I really wanted to make some videos on this game and the first one I decided to make is a character specific guide for Rosetta because I have been having a lot of fun playing her and I think her play style is very unique and probably a bit harder to use optimally for most and as such as this video I wanted to talk about Rosetta discuss the general play style and setup for the character that I use and that I think is probably going to be most optimal and showcase some practical use of her in some of the harder raid fights if you enjoy guide content for RPGs and are interested in more potential relink guides from me or if you're interested in Xenoblade content since I usually make that make sure to subscribe to the channel because it does help me out so much and if you're on this video because of that usual Xenoblade content and have no idea what this game is get it it's really fun so let's start with build and set setup then we'll get more into play style a couple things to note first is that Rosetta is a bit of a Zone control type character where you essentially are planting roses that are then used to attack enemies and offer support effects to your allies you can have up to three of these at once and they can level up to level four giving them a wide radius and more powerful buff effects Rosetta will attack one to four times depending on level each attack interval so higher level roses will give more damage you can replant these roses anywhere by pressing Y and by targeting an enemy you can place it on top of where the enemy currently is replant priority will just be the order of the three where it originally placed the Roses keep their level as long as you don't die otherwise they will all disappear and reset to level one so compared to other characters you do get punished very hard for dying so that is something to keep in mind if you do want to play this character by using a regular attack into a combo finisher you can set up a defense buff for your team that maxes out at 20% by using two regular attacks into a combo finisher you can set up a health regen buff and by using three attacks into a combo finisher you set up up to a 20% attack buff for the team your team does not have to be on the roses for these Buffs to apply however as long as you have the buff activated they will get it no matter where they are on the field as long as the roses are down those are the very Basics so let's get into more detail the setup portion of this video is likely going to be more focused on in-game builds more than anything but the general principles and what you will want to go for will still apply for actual weapon the Terminus weapon is going to be the most optimal if you have it which is a big if since it's a pretty rare drop from the final weapon but if not I was getting by just fine on everything and was able to clear the final proud Mission multiple times just running the rose crystal knife which is the critical hit rate and critical damage weapon that Rosetta has the reason the Terminus weapon is the best is mainly because of catastrophe one of the bonus effects of the weapon which increases your attack a massive amount and your damage cap by 100% as long as your health is under 45,000 and when fully awakened it also increases all of your sigils by one level and gives another five levels of damage cap the reason damage cap is such an important step that is because it's the absolute best way you have to increase your maximum damage you probably noticed I have four other damage cap sigils equipped right now and that is not for no reason I have this to cap out the value entirely because base damage caps in this game are actually pretty low each character has different caps on different hits and arts so it's probably based on a multiplier but regardless you really want to be running the max value of this to get 250% more damage at level 65 catastrophe being an effect that increases this even further as long as your health is below this 45k Mark is the main reason it's such a strong effect and addition to that crazy attack boost it also helps a lot especially with your rose damage so most of my sigils here have an additional effect on them that's what the plus nexts to the sigil means that means it has two traits on it instead of just the normal one very highly recommended that you do that I also recommend leveling up your sigil level 15 if you can farming Azurite Spenders all Prismatic slimes is the easiest way to do this over material grinding but if you want a material grind you can do that as well as long as you're hitting important damage thresholds it doesn't matter too much and even if you're running with just level 11 sigils it should be fine regardless you'll still get a lot of benefit out of it my first damage cap 5 plus is the only one not maxed and it has uplift as its bonus effect on it this increases your Sky bound charge art gauge gain pretty useful for ending fights a little bit quicker and skipping phases and just being able to use your specials a little bit faster in fights I like this effect a lot just because of that I have potion hoarder on the next damage cap 5 this is an incredibly useful ability it gives you a ton of additional potions that you can use in combat allowing to heal your allies more heal yourself more and it also combos really well with one of the other effects that I have that I'm going to talk about a little bit later very highly recommend it for keeping yourself healthy though it's just so many extra potions and is so beneficial Rosa's Awakening is her exclusive sigil that offers two unique effects you cannot get anywhere else the first of these is roses blooming this reduces the interval between your rose attacks by 30% allowing your roses to do about 30% more damage which is really nice with their basic attacks Rosa profusion will boost the strength of your buff Effects by an added ative amount so instead of just a 20% attack boost you now do a 30% attack boost for your entire party instead of a 20% defense boost You Now Grant a 30% defense boost so this is a really nice effect to have it increases the strength of your Buffs allows your party to have more survivability or more damage if they really need it so very useful sigil to have definitely recommend equipping it you can get it from trans marveling up next I have critical hit rate this is very good effect to have it increases your critical hit rate by 20% at level 15 additive amount Critical Hits are really good you do a lot of damage with them e just increases the value of my maximum HP this is very nice to have just for the extra survivability as long as I'm under 45,000 Health I'll still get the bonus from catastrophe so running one egis along with a different ability works just fine I'm going to skip past glass Cannon for now cuz I want to talk about that and potent greens at the same time next up I have another damage cap up and it also has the Nimble Onslaught effect this gives you more invincibility when you perfect Dodge in addition to some more skybound art charge gain and skill cool down which is really useful on row you definitely want to be using using skill cool down if you can I have another damage cap 5 plus with quick coold down this gives more skill cool down as you can imagine I have tyranny 5 plus so tyranny is what allows me to have my health under 45,000 health and also gives another big damage boost because this will lower your max Health in addition to granting a big damage increase basically allowing me to hit that damage cap even without any additional effects here as long as I have my other positive damage effects equipped and cascade this seems to be bugged currently because I have not noticed much of a positive effect from it I hear there's an internal cooldown from it but I feel like it's not working as effectively for Rose as it could be so you might be able to replace the subtrate with something else but if it works properly you should be able to get skill cool down every when you attack enemies based on whatever the internal cooldown is allowing you to use your skills more often let's get past that I have stamina this is the final thing allowing me to basically hit damage caps on absolutely everything as long as I'm at Max Health cuz it boosts your attack by a pretty crazy amount as long as you're at 100% Health very very good effect to have I'm running another quick cool down along with it to get more skills up faster because a lot of her damage comes from skills link together five plus there is a very good effect link together is really good for your entire party because it gives you more link gauge gain link time is broken in combat it gives you more chain burst damage and increases your link attack damage even further as well so a lot of really positive bonus effects just in one slot here so a very efficient effect there so speaking of very efficient and good effects we have War Elemental this is probably potentially the best effect in the entire game just because of how universally useful it is all attacks count as the superior element basically meaning all of your attacks are going to do 20% more damage no matter what and this bypasses the damage cap basically meaning you do not have to worry about the cap at all with this this is just a very efficient slot to get 20% more damage you should absolutely have this equipped if you have it you can obtain it from curios if you've looked at other guides for other characters or have just been looking around for the most optimal build you probably noticed that most people are running supplementary damage in some of their sigil slots so why am I running glass Canon 5 and potent greens instead well the main reason is that supplementary damage does not apply to the actual roses that you plant meaning you actually lose a lot of benefit from using it on Rosetta supplementary damage would normally add an additional 20% damage to your attack just in the form of an additional damage roll which can be really nice because it bypasses the damage cap but unfortunately for Rosetta herself it does not work very efficiently because of it not applying on the attacks that your roses deal out I really wish it worked on her but unfortunately it doesn't so because of that I am running glass Cannon this gives you an additional 30% damage cap which is nice to increase your damage further and increase your attack another 30% however there is a negative effect that you get inflicted with Dizzy every time you are hit fortunately there is a way to bypass this potent greens allows you to cure your dizzy because when you have potent greens every time you use a green potion you basically cure all of your debuffs so if you get hit you just use a green potion combine with a potion hoarder you have a ton of green potions so you're able to cure your debuffs and you're able to go on your Merry way and get a nice free 30% damage boops because of that or if you're really good to the game just don't get hit and you don't need have to run potent greens you can even run another sigil in this place instead and the final effect I have is guts which is on the glass Cannon 5 I definitely recommend having guts in some capacity on Rose because you get punished very hard for dying so just being able to live one hit at one Health is very nice because you'll be able to get a lot of benefit out of not having replant your Rosas and not having to set everything up again you get punished really hard for dying so always run guts no matter what it's definitely better than running Auto revive in my opinion so let's talk about her skills here so Rosetta has eight total skills four of these are more supportive and four of these deal damage so I'm running the more damage based setup here because I like doing a lot of damage and doing DPS her most important skill is most likely spiral Rose this is her main damage skill as far as what's going to be off cool down pretty often and what's going to be doing a lot of damage and leveling up your roses a little bit quicker because of how many times it hits basically Rose will spawn roses from the roses that she plants and these will hit multiple times and it'll also hit 10 times from her main body itself which is important to remember for later this is a really good attack I definitely recommend running this basically at all time especially because it's one of her lower cooldown abilities Iron Maiden this is a pretty strong effect I feel like people really underrated the tool tip kind of just straight up lies to you here so basically how this works is that any attack that comes directly from Rosa's body will allow all of your plants to Auto attack every time it hits this combos extremely well with spy Rose as long as Rose is next to the enemy because it basically allows all of your plants to attack 10 times each for every hit of spiral rose that you do so you get 30 more hits of spiral Rose when you do this as a quick damage comparison I have shown on screen here you should be able to see that you get about a million more damage here based on the 33,000 Auto attack or 33k Auto attack times about 30 here very very good it also applies on your combo finisher not just your uh basic attacks so Iron Maiden is much better than you would expect it's really good to use in uh link time as well because you get a lot more SP Rose uses out of that you can get potentially up to 90 attacks at once from your plants there very very good to have very good ability I think it's very underrated and sou heart's a really nice bonus effect as well just to kind of ignore enemies attacking you for a little bit at least Rose Tycoon is your main repositioning tool absolutely have this at all times because it is going to basically allow you to lock back onto enemies without having to press the Y button to replant them this is a very good effect just because of that it would be 100% recommended even if you didn't have the poison effect how the poison effect works if you want to know is that basically it's going to do 1 to 1.5% of the enemy's maximum health or 65,000 Health basically if you have all the cap damage up whichever is the lower amount essentially so 1 to 1.5% maximum it's based on enemy's Max health or 65% maximum or 65,000 damage maximum sorry so very useful to have just for the repositioning though you definitely want to have this just so you can always lock on to the enemies Sage I do like this skill but it's just unfortunately not worth using a slot on it'll plant a rows where she stands and allow you to dodge backwards good for having ey frames and just dodging enemy attacks but it just doesn't really do anything otherwise mesmerizes completely useless don't ever run this it doesn't really work on Boss enemies at all and a lot of bosses have AOE anyway so don't even use this Rose barrier can be pretty useful just because it allows you to have a lot of damage reduction for your entire party so if you want to run Rose more supportive you can run this your your allies have to be standing on your roses to have this though as far as I am aware but I don't really recommend running this if you want to get the most benefit out of Rose since a lot of people are going to have defensive abilities anyway to keep themselves alive so you probably aren't going to need this most of the time boket actually is a really useful ability some people run this over Iron Maiden against more mobile bosses just because you'll get more use out of this because it allows you to reposition your roses again it also restores your health and raises the levels by one and also can instantly plant three roses if you don't have them planted at the start of battle so this can be a really useful utility ability if you want to run this over Iron Maiden in certain fights it can be definitely be useful with to you do that I don't personally like doing it because I like doing as much damage as possible but this is a good ability and it also has a heal on top of every everything else so pretty good art definitely worth running in certain situations at least the final art she has is lost love this is your most powerful nuke attack it basically explodes all of your roses that you currently have planted and does massive amounts of damage over 600,000 with Max damage cap and so basically you're going to be doing close to 2 million damage very very strong art the negative is that it is going to explode your roses and basically make them start at level one but it does instantly replant them definitely use this when the boss is not going to be moving moving for a while because you'll be able to level up your rose as much instantly again so you're not going to lose too much from using it then but it's definitely something you're going to want to kind of situationally pick and choose one to use to make sure you're not wasting it because if this whips you just lost a ton of burst damage very good art though definitely run even with a longer cool down so the final thing to talk about is your masteries obviously you're going to want all your masteries maxed but specifically over masteries is something that can be pretty random so what you're specifically looking for is going to be skill damage cap up normal damage cap up and skybound art damage cap up those are going to increase your damage as much as possible and then you're going to be looking at critical hit rate up and maybe attack up critical hit rate up is extremely useful because with the right setup you can get 100% critical hit rate with only one critical up sigil unfortunately I only got 16% instead of the maximum of 20% so I'm only sitting at 96% here which is still really really good don't get me wrong normal attack damage up is probably going to be better than skybound art damage cap up if you can only choose one of those but you're definitely going to want skill damage cap up cuz that's where the big majority of a lot of our damage is going to come from so I really like the bonuses I have currently I'm probably going to want to roll eventually though because I'm missing normal damage cap up and that's still a lot of damage from your roses that you're going to be missing otherwise but for now this is still a really good over masteries so if you have something similar to this you should be good to go and you don't have to be perfectly optimal you can still have something similar to this and still be just fine so with all of that done let's finally take a look at more practical combat situation this is going to be the final raid so if you are worried about spoilers or anything like that click off the video now so I chose to show off this particular fight because one I didn't get hit the entire time so I feel like that's pretty beneficial as far as showing off how glass Cannon can be beneficial if you don't get hit and two because I feel like it's a good job of just showcasing like how you want to play as Rose a lot of the time so early on you're going to want to plant roses especially really early on in the fight so you can uh get those Rose levels up immediately that's the first priority in any kind of combat scenario you want to plant your roses make sure that you getting low four as fast as possible in a fight like this where there's ads it's a little bit easier you can have your other allies take the Cannons especially so you can plant your roses and get them leveled up and you should be good to go I definitely recommend that if you are playing as Rose you need to be someone fighting the ads because you need to level up your roses do not take the Cannons you're going to lose a lot of benefit if you do that so compared to other characters because she has a lot of AOE and because it takes a while to plant roses sometimes and can sometimes be a little bit more difficult to get them in the proper position in certain combat scenarios she likely will not be hitting the upper tiers of DPS compared to some other characters but she is a lot of fun to play and she does have a lot of nice utility to offer to a team regardless so specifically in this fight what I am doing is I am not using my skills right now because I want to have them all up for when uh baham crashes here that way I can immediately reposition with uh my Tycoon ability when you know a boss how boss moves or when it's about to be vulnerable you want to save Tycoon so you can immediately reposition all three roses and just kind of go ham on him afterwards so this fight was recorded before I kind of had tested uh Spyro Rose and Iron Maiden interactions in more detail otherwise I would have used Iron Maiden before SP Rose to get a million more damage here but you can see here just kind of how we can whale on him here with uh all of your Combos and you can see I'm basically hitting damage cap on everything even with all the damage cap boosters I have so there's definitely not a lack of damage here I'm still doing a ton of damage and uh once you have your roses up you easily do a lot of damage I feel like the dummy tests do not really show case how well Rose does damage because you have to waste a lot of time planting roses at the start of the fight and in the score attacks especially poison doesn't even work properly so you lose a lot of damage from that as well and you also juggle the enemy so you lose a lot of damage from that as well and all in all everything could be a lot better to Showcase her proper DPS but regardless you can still do a lot of damage with row even if you're not going to be hitting the big numbers on the score attack like you might see with other characters so in this fight particular he'll come back here after he uses his first gun shle you want to get to that 80% phase change you want to guard that claw attack as well when it happens after he uh goes up to the side of the ship there and from here it's kind of just a waiting game he's going to summon more DPS check crystals I am once again not going to use my roses here or Tycoon here to reposition because I want to save my skills for when he crashes into the ship again and our party member gave us invincibility here so I didn't even bother evading that one attack there cuz we didn't really have to and once the second crystal is gone I'm once again going to reposition with Tycoon and I'm going to explode my roses and then immediately use spiral Rose afterwards so I can level up my roses again you can see just the massive amount of burst damage that exploding gives one other thing to note is that you can do here is after exploding you're probably going to have a link attack you do not want to cancel your animations with link attack you want to uh use Link attack before using something like spy Rose because otherwise you will not do any damage with spy Rose from Rose's body herself the plants will still do damage but the roses that come out of her body itself will not do damage if you can animation cancel out of it or move out of spiral Rose so you want to keep spiral Rose going as much as possible here so one thing I do in particular in this fight is use my uh special when uh he's about to get up to make sure that we can kind of keep him combo locked for even longer here and this will also build up link gauge so we can uh kind of end the fight as soon as uh we get past the next DPS check here so he's about to use Supernova which is his big special move soon but it's pretty easy to avoid so it shouldn't really be a big issue so we get a damage cap Full Burst here I believe which is really nice especially because of all the damage I am outputting I don't think you can go higher than that I don't know if it's something that's a visual indicator or not it might be something that you actually can go higher than and it's just a visual indicator that's damage cap but regardless we still get a ton of damage out of that uh combo there and we'll be able to use one more near the end of the fight after using uh link time so after this Supernova is going to be the final DPS check where he's going to summon more crystals if you want to be safe you can use Tycoon and spiral rose on these just to make sure that you kill them and you should still be fine because link time will be up shortly after that so you'll be able to get your coold Downs back much quicker after that so against more mobile enemies uh where they're moving around Alton you have to replant roses with the Y button you might want to have bouquet as I said instead but you'll be missing out on a lot of DPS if you basically you kind of just want to understand how bosses move and when they're going to be vulnerable before uh using your repositioning abilities and before using your strong damage abilities because that's going to give you the most benefit so when a fight like uh the ice Primal who moves around all the time you'll have a much tougher time with it because a lot of her damage comes from enemies staying stationary and being within her roses radiuses but as long as you're kind of smart about when to use your strong damaging abilities and when to use Tycoon to reposition you'll still get a lot of benefits that's kind of the most important thing to learn when playing this character in my opinion I really like the play style as I said but going back to this fight in particular you want to destroy all those orbs because I don't make sure that these crystals don't have a barrier shield around them so I go ahead and use Tycoon here just to make sure that we uh kill the crystals I mean I probably did not have to but I just did it to be safe just as a precaution there so most everything in this fight is pretty easy to avoid when you know the patterns uh guarding works really well in this fight against a lot of abilities I feel like people underrate guard in this game as well when it's just such a nice move to just take no damage at all I feel like it's a little bit broken I feel like that I feel like it kind of undermines the value of Dodge in some ways just because of how good guard can be you can see in link time here I'm just uh my main strategy for this was just spamming Tycoon and spy Rose whenever they're available because they have really short coold downs and Link time and lost level when I had it up my plan initially was used Iron Maiden after everything was over and I had no more coold Downs left so I didn't end up wasting it quote unquote but now that I know how the interaction with SP Rose works I would have definitely used that at the start of Link time now to get a lot more damage out of my three spal roses during link time you can get a lot of benefit if you do it that way so that is something to keep in mind and remember to do when you uh do this fight because you're probably goingon to be grinding this fight a lot if you want to get the weapons on everyone or at least on row so the final section here I've almost got a sky about art again I'm just uh 1% away and my other allies are close as well so we're pretty much fine on this DPS check here I go ahead and uh use it and the fight is basically over after this so yeah this game is a lot of fun I really find Rose's play style to be really fun to play um as long as you kind of understand Rose repositionings and how her cooldowns work and everything like that you should be just fine I don't think she's too terribly complex to play but it can be a little bit more daunting for probably beginners that just want to wail on characters with melee characters and uh honestly sometimes I'm the same way I like playing melee characters too but this is I I really just fell in love with this play style and I haven't really seen any guides or anything showing how to play her effectively so I kind of wanted to be the first to kind of make an effective guide for her so if there's any other things to note uh I don't know if everything I have equipped currently is super optimal like some of the sigils can definitely be more optimized and uh you might even find that supplementary damage ends up working okay on her even if uh even if it doesn't apply on her Rose effects it's just something that is less efficient on her compared to other characters so I'm sure there's more room for optimization in the future and more room to do even more damage but for a week one build I do think this is pretty effective and will probably help you clear all the content with no issues at all so uh yeah this was definitely not a game I expected to make content for and I don't even know if I'm quote unquote good compared to a lot of other people but I still hope this guy was useful to you and you kind of see how to build the character now and how to kind of approach her play style like I said she may not be the absolute highest DPS character but I find her to be a lot of fun and I do think she has a lot of positive benefits and can provide a lot to a team with her Buffs as well since this is my first time making a guy guide for this game I don't really know what the demand is or if people really even want to see guides from me for this game or not so please leave any feedback in the comments below or any questions you might have and I'd be happy to answer or make improvements in the future if I make more guides on this game so once again thank you guys for watching I hope you learned something if you did enjoy the video make sure to subscribe like comment all that good stuff and please look forward to any future videos I may make it's been a long time since my last one so hopefully I'll be more active in the future I'm feeling the motivation again at least thank you all have a wonderful day
