Granblue grid and team building

Leviathan

Early Game (Magna 1)

In the early game, building for Omega grids follows the general format of 5-6 magna mods, 1-2 normal mods, 2-3 EX mods, and 1 seraphic. Below are a list of available weapons for these mod types.

Magna (5-6 per grid)

Example Grids

Burst

First let’s cover burst setups. Below is the standard Warlock / Manadiver burst. With Leviathan Gaze Mare and Leviathan Cranium Mare, the grid is much stronger thanks to having higher cap up and being able to drop Ancient Auberon. Auberons are pretty weak grid pieces that mostly stuck around due to being the best option for crit grids with Wamdus’s Cnidocyte. So being able to drop two is a big help especially for the strong mods from Gaze Mares and Cranium Mares.

Alternatively, if you run a staff oriented party, you can instead choose to run Worldvexing Angelos. In order to slot it, you will need to drop the supp weapons, but the amp, normal cap, and general increase in raw damage over crit more than make up for that. The rest of the grid is mostly focused on raw damage output. A single Gospel can be slotted in place of any of the Gaze if available.

Now for a more premium option. The gacha weapon Gospel of Water and Sky provides another source for supp that does not rely on crit. As a result, you can drop the weak grid piece of Auberons for much stronger ones. Craniums are an excellent choice for this. You can run 2 or 1 Cranium with 1 additonal Gaze. Worldvexing Angelos can replace a Gaze for staff focused parties. If you only have one Gospel, replace it with another Gaze or Cranium.

And last one to cover will be for an Extremity key burst. They key will mostly see use in the longer burst setups. The most common example are setups are Relic Buster or Soldier. These are common for Unite and Fight and for Mugen farming. They will run either Exo Antaeus or Hraesvelgr as the mainhand.

And if you want to see it in action, here is an example of a setup for Mugen that uses the Extremity key.

Full Auto

When it comes to FA, we will cover two different types of setups.

First up is the standard Manadiver FA. This uses the skill Overtrance Gain Overtrance (6T) and C.A. Instant Standby. (Can’t recast.) in combination with the Falsehood chain on opus for many turns of teamwide double strike in a row. As a result, this is pretty similar to the prior burst grid. Here we would be better off running Double Leviathan for Crit grids so we can slot in another weapon. In this case, we are using Worldvexing Angelos as many of Water’s top characters have Staff prociency. But swap it out as needed. Like if using Haaselia frontline, use Reflection of The Moon instead.

As for the 2 Gospel version, it is pretty similar again. There is one slot that is pretty free to swap around. Below is Gateway-Star Sword for additional HP and DEF. Once Celestial Staff comes out, it would be much better to run that instead. Alternatively, in cases where you don’t need to worry much about HP, can bring in another Gaze Mare.

Next setup is Water’s other common FA strat of Street King which utlitizes Haaselia by swapping her in via faking the MC’s death. Like before, many characters are staff focused so using the World Harp is a good idea. Also Haase is in play and thus so will be her weapon Reflection of The Moon for the 50% unique ATK and 30% cap it provides with the Full Moon buff.

Hard Content

And last up is an example for Dark Rapture Zero. This is a setup made by Moeru. This one uses Onmyoji with a Gaze Mare as the mainhand. Overall, it doesn’t adopt many of the new weapons mostly because Water’s Revan weapons are very strong for HL content. However, the Leviathan Blade Mare still proves to be a great slot for the HP and TA it provides. With the single Gaze, it can also use the Sagacity key with double Levithan.
