Metera is a Bow user that is classified as an Earth elemental Balanced type character. She excels as an Attacker/Debuffer in-game. Metera can beautifully make use of the item Aetherial Shaft to attack 2 times with all of her abilities due to being a damage dealer. She also has a stacked debuff heavy kit, being able to apply Charmed, Delay, Attack Down, Allure, and Paralyzed debuffs. Her utility in any team makes her a threat to allies if you lack a debuff cleanser or cycler.Alexiel is a standard Katana/Sabre user that is classified as an Earth elemental Defence type character. She excels as an Attacker/Support/Defender. Even though she was released long ago, she is still at the top of the GranBlue Fantasy tier list due to her loaded skill set. Her passive ability Uncrossable Realm provides all allies with a large amount of damage cut, mitigating more than half the incoming damage. Alexiel’s 3rd active skill Lagulf is a 6-hitter ability that can deal a ton of explosive damage, making her a top-tier party defender as well as a nuker for the team.

Sandalphon is a Sabre/Katana user that is classified as an Earth elemental Special type character. He excels as an Attacker/Debuffer in-game. Sandalphon is a direct power creep to existing crit rate based meta units as his passive allows him to have 100% critical hit rate from the get-go. He has a high damage multiplier cap, and deals double hits with all of his abilities, settling his place as one of the most coveted damage dealers in the game. His special ability Prisoners of War stops enemies from using their special skills.Izmir is a Sabre user that is classified as a Water elemental Attack type character. She excels as an Attacker/Supporter in-game. Izmir is a self-buffer that can provide herself with stackable Attack to increase overall DPS output. By herself, Izmir can provide a lot of critical hit rates up to all allies! In short, she can enable low-quality grids with her skill set. Izmir also has great damage multipliers, not shying away from being able to burn out entire grids with her AOE abilities.

Cerberus is a Sabre user that is classified as a Dark elemental Special type character. She excels as an Attacker/Debuffer in-game. Cerberus is one of the few characters that can successfully triple attack on every turn due to her special effect called Pandemonium Roar. She is a single-target damage dealer who can be a monster if allowed to roam free on the battlefield. She also brings useful debuffs in her kit such as Debuff Resistance down, Blinded, and Charmed.Catherine is a Gun user who is classified as an Earth elemental Special type character. He excels as an Attacker/Debuffer in-game. She is the only character in the game that brings the Enticed debuff which limits the number of attacks an enemy can do. She is also useful for PvE bosses as she can lock up to 2 bosses with her charms, but it depends on RNG.

Tyre is a Sabre/Gun user that is classified as a Wind elemental Balanced type character. He excels as an Attacker/Support in-game. Tyre can help allies get more turns with his special ability Doubles which pushes the attack bar of a selected ally. He is a pair-based hero, which sadly means you need to use him with Vira as the main ally in order to make use of his full potential. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in the middle of the Granblue Fantasy tier list, but way lower. This would also mean sacrificing an important slot for a sub-par character.Helnar is a Sabre user that is classified as a Wind elemental Balanced type character. He excels as an Attacker/Debuffer in-game. He is a decent single-target damage dealer who can stack up his Attack according to the number of female members in the party. He also grants a party-wide Triple Attack boost, a rare thing to observe with SR rarity characters.

Out of the above-mentioned characters, try to limit yourself to building only SSR characters, as the rest of the low rarity characters are power crept. They provide no value in team-building, if you’re serious regarding your progression. Avoid sinking your resources into these characters.

Characters
Anna, Pengy, Paris, Aster, Sachiko Koshizimu, Ange, Teru Tendo, Volenna, Syr
Rita, Sarya, Haohmaru, Ludmila, Dorothy, Joy

All of the characters at the bottom of the GranBlue Fantasy tier list are sub-par and below average. Try to avoid building them at all costs as you will soon require an upgrade on your adventures. The majority of them are given for free and have a worthless skillset. Avoid spending your precious resources training them as well.
