  1. Good guide but demanding as i’am maybe there’s other usuble units outside the meta such as being listed being listed in here

    Reply

  2. Appreciate the guide but I have some suggestions:

    – Please use base picture for the characters listed, as a relative new player looking to branch out to other elements who also has decent number of characters but never actually used/leveled them it’s hard to make out which character is which when looking at the character inventory and in here. It takes a lot of clicks in the inventory just to check if I’m looking at the right character.

    – Reduce the ungodly amount of abbreviations, if a new player who is looking up these guide to decide which character is worth investing in they wouldn’t be familiar with the abbreviations. I mean even when googling and looking up the wiki glossary I still don’t know wtf does 1B4C mean.

    Thanks.

    • It can be tough to decipher some of that stuff, I’m learning myself. The GBF Wiki has a Glossary page which explains a lot of these abbreviations. Tbh you’re better off just learning from that Glossary cause I’ve noticed that people who are super into this game use abbreviations and slang all the time, so it’s just helpful to know.

      Also, in terms of 1B4C, that’s just an abbreviation that’s used to describe the type of attacks a party will do, in this case it means “1 Button 4 Charge Attack”. That just means a person only needs to press 1 button at the start of the battle to get things going and then there will be 4 Charge Attacks.

      Capital “B” usually stands for “Button” here, and having a small number of button presses is the most efficient for time and effort. It’s also important to have few button presses when engaging in popular raids where you need to compete to get certain amount of honors in order to get good loot, etc.

      The “C”/Charge Attacks (abbreviated as “CA” when by itself) are often quite powerful attacks, but some people try to avoid using them because the attack animations take a long time, even if you’ve turned off the full animations. That’s precious time for people who are trying to “race” others for battle honors and loot.
