Granblue Fantasy Tier List [June 2024]

Here is our tier list for Granblue Fantasy. You want the best possible characters, right? This tier list will help you optimize your gameplay and win.

Granblue Fantasy is a powerhouse game developed by Cygames with music from none other than the legendary Final Fantasy music composer, Nobuo Uematsu himself.

It is critically acclaimed thanks to its endearing plot partnered with an addictive gameplay loop.

On top of all this sits the game’s premiere draw to players: its rich cast of characters. Similar to other gacha games, players can use in-game currency (crystals or tickets, in this case) to summon a random character from the base pool of hundreds of units.
