GBF Tier List: Best Characters Ranked & Compared

Granblue Fantasy, popularly known as GBF, allows players to select from more than 300 characters. As you might have already guessed, this ends up making players confused while choosing the characters. This is because they can’t decide which ones to pick and which ones to avoid. Well, to help such players out, we are going to write down a GBF tier list in which we are going to rank down all characters in a proper format.

Update: We’ve carefully reviewed our Tier List to make sure it matches all the character changes in the newest Update 1.30.

In order to make things easier for our readers, we are going to divide the characters into six different tiers. The strongest ones will be placed in the first tier, while the weakest ones will earn a spot in the last tier. Having said that, do keep in mind that our tier list is totally based on our personal choice. Some of you might find certain characters not belonging to a specific tier, and that is okay. This is because the choice varies from person to person. So without any further due, let’s dive into the tier list.
