Blue Chest Setups
Blue chests are awarded based on the amount of honors achieved in a raid maxing out at 99% chance at raid specific amount of honors: 330k in the case of Grimnir. They contain the most desirable drops in a raid such as the weapon drops. When farming a raid, this is the chest you want to aim for. The typical strategy is to deal the blue chest amount and then moving onto the next raid. Below is a list of strategies on how to effectively and quickly achieve blue chests.
Beginner
These setups are oriented towards beginner players.
Relic Buster

MVP
MVP chests are awarded to the player with the most honors in a raid as well as a possibility for other top scorers. While they have an additional weapon drop chance, it is advised to not aim for these especially as a a beginner due to the time it takes. However, if the raid is slow, it helps to join as higher damage output team so the raid can die.

Full Auto
Full autoing M2 raids is generally pretty easy once you have a developed M2 grid. Both class and character options are pretty free.
This raid can be skipped elimination the need to Full Auto solo it. In order to do so, you need to meet the following prerequisites.
- Solo the raid.
- Deal 30,000,000 damage in 1 turn.
- Fight the raid 100 times to get a trophy.
The following FA strategies are geared towards players who still need to unlock the skips.
Lumberjack
Lumberjack is one of the safest classes to full auto with and the buffs provided by it also helps weaker grids to reach damage cap. Characters can easily be upgraded to better and strong options.
Notes
- All characters can be easily replaced by others like Hekate
, Percival (Grand), Medusa (Summer)
, Yuisis (Fire)
, Wilnas, Nemone (Holiday)
, Elmott (SSR)
, or Anthuria
among many others. - Other options for support summon are Colossus Omega
or Shiva

One response to “Grimnir”
Are the Chrysoar, Bandit Tycoon, and Glorybringer Magna grids intended to have Scythe of Repudiation? I could be misinterpreting, but wouldn’t it make more sense to have Scythe of Renunciation in that slot instead?
